*snip was really long quote
Before btc was 200 usd I cant find miners in china ....now when btc high again then can find too much .... I think seller will hold selling s7 when btc down

Where were you looking at for miners?  In china even during 200 day's you should have found a TON of miners.  A decent amount of the companies are there.... so it is not hard.

What site or where were you looking?  I've never heard of someone in China having trouble finding miners.

Correct me if I'm getting this wrong. On the Antminer's server you put in your Wallet ID so in 24 hour intervals the Antminer forwards the money into my wallet and you put in what pools you're currently wanting to mine into the server along with workers?

It's antminers site you put it in.  Interval I believe has a minimum is only thing, so it is possible not 24 but should be every 24 if you meet minimum mark.

I would say site.  You really don't do anything with " Antminer's server" with wallet.  You use " Antminer's server" that is stratum to mine.  But all the settings on wallet are on antpool website.

I ask that you sign up and look at it.  You will have a much better idea after you do.

Last period was not much fun, hopefully this one goes down even a little.  Really impressive on amount's of rollovers that is getting to be fun.   

Or maybe we can get lucky and value goes up even more I would like to see 500 since all difficulty changes being high recently. But not sure how realistic that is.

So far I have used it with chrome extension and MultiBit HD.  Both of which seem to work great with it.

So still testing but it has all gone well so far.   Which is a good thing.

if mining is not profitable then why are the big companys or industrys are doing it now and also china is doing it in big scale too isnt it i thought mining is just getting difficult these days so i should switch to trading now hope that brings me a good profit and a good grip on money
For these large companies, Mining is profitable because they are running larger operations.  Where we could buy a miner and make a whopping $3.00 a day, they have 1,000 miners operating at once, making $3,000 a day.  This is an example, but you can get the understanding from this.

You can still make profit as a home or hobby miner (I consider hobby to be bigger then home miner).  All depends on how much electricity you have and price of electricity.

Big companies do have a advantage as they can go to a area with already cheap electricity and make a deal for large amount's of unused electricity for even cheaper.  So they are able to get amazing prices on electricity.
3386  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Antminer S3 Issues on: December 18, 2015, 07:34:27 PM
So I've been having trouble when trying to connect to my miner. I had it working perfectly fine but i wanted to switch it over to WAN instead of LAN which is what it was on. I did this so i could be able to connect to it under a 192.168.0.xxx IP rather than a 192.168.1.xxx ip so i could connect it straight to my modem rather than the router since the modem only works with .0 ip's. It just stopped working after this. I've tried multiple ways of factory resetting it like holding the button, waiting 3 minutes, holding it again, then restarting. I've also tried a few other things with holding/pressing the reset button and restarting the miner.

I still have no luck. I just can't find it on the list of DHCP clients while its connected directly to my router. Another issue is that the red and green lights next to the Ethernet port are both just staying on and when i hold the reset button the lights don't do anything. I just can't connect/find the ip to even try connecting to. I have tried restarting my router and modem but i could always give anything i said i've already done another try.

If anybody has any resolution or could maybe help me troubleshoot this issue i'd really appreciate it. Feel free to ask any questions if i explained something terribly or didn't make any sense.

Do you know what IP you set it to?  If so you can set a static on PC on IPV4 (turn off IPV6), and you can plug it directly into computer and log into it.  But you need to know network settings to do this easily.

There is a reset button.  But if you have one firmware I believe it did not work (been a while).   But if you have one without that firmware a reset should set it to factory.

Using a MultiMeter, the 2 x Dell PSU shows 12.1V even though Avalon shows 12V.  Don't see anywhere on the breakout board including the document provided by Holybitcoin / Gekkoscience where I can change the voltage.

it may have an internal pot

some do. 

 I personally never opened that psu..


Here is a good example of one inside.  A lot are not known till opened like phil mentioned opening PSU's. 

The Bitmain server PSU Goxed opened up ... and found one - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1060439.msg13156624#msg13156624 .  No one even knew it was in there but by opening it up he found one and now this PSU could adjust voltage.  But also if you open up a PSU be very careful... electricity can be dangerous.
3388  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Gigantic difficulty jump of the last few days (speculation) on: December 18, 2015, 07:25:18 PM
I see some interesting things happening:

1. If Bitfury will be selling chips to anyone, then they are positioning themselves to be a.k.a Intel of bitcoin, then someone (maybe 21 inc) will be a software (mostly) arm-with their emphasis on programming solutions; Coinbase will be a bank, etc, etc.
Sooner or later a whole ecosystem will be fully fleshed out.

2. with 0.05 J/Gh, some dual use devices actually make more sense. For example, a dual use lamp w/mining chip.
Light ON-40W to light, 20 W to hashing, light switched off-all 60w to hashing.
Light on-hashing 400Gh (20W), lights off-up to 1200Gh-basically an S5 in a lamp!
How many lamps do you have? A few dozens easily.



This is the vision of 21 Inc. ^

Not really.... 21 said they were very into this.  And what did they give us? A custom RPI board... they say the above but they yet to do it. 

I would still buy a bitfury lightbulb for fun if they ever do sell them.

By that you mean I input my Wallet ID into the S3?

for withdraw, if that what you mean, there should be a field to enter your address on the website, then set a threshold, it will be automatically withdrawn on your wallet

You input the mining pool information with your worker name.  It will mine and make you BTC.

Then you do what Amph is saying to get the BTC from mining pool, to your wallet.  Some pools even allow you to use BTC address as user, and no signup.
And by website you mean the Antminer's Server or the mining pool's?

Have you logged into the antpool site?  In it you are able to add wallet to your account.

But you get a worker name with that pool.  It is not a pool you can mine direct to wallet.  It is one you use username and then it credit's to account... and assuming you meet requirements for withdraw every 24 hours antpool pays you.
3390  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: BTC mining in your telephone - yes or no on: December 18, 2015, 07:20:51 PM
I have tried this before and it killed my phone.  I did not do it with Bitcoin, I used it for Bytecoin mining, but it caused my phone to overload and the battery to get extremely hot.  Once I rebooted the phone after the second time the battery heat shut it down, I found that it had gotten so hot that my screen was discolored and the phone would not process at all.  I had to replace my phone.

Phones were not meant to be in a pocket mining away.  No vent's getting hot is a bad combo and yes battery getting hot can be dangerous.

And I can't imagine cellular companies every coming on board.... which you really would need to go widespread.   Showing them data usage that never stops even though small for mining I'm sure they would not like if all customers did this.

It can be profitable but you need things like low or no import tax.  Then you need low cost electricity.  I mean look at value of BTC one can get a profit, many still do.

There are always some that sit there on sidelines and say don't mine you wont make money.  But I suggest everyone do ROI math on a asic and see how it works for him.
3392  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH on: December 18, 2015, 03:45:34 PM
I opened a ticked on their site and i asked them to send me invoice that is calculated in USD. I hope they will respond early because the expected arrival is on 21.12.2015

What country are you in I was looking at past posts?  I was suprised you were going to try to get around import tax it sounded like:

As i said i found people that they helped me to confirm that i need them for personal use and i was explaining that this gear will help my software project to calculate faster the matematical calculations, and also i explained that they stack with another, that means that if one can solve the matematical problem in month, five of them will do the same job in mater of days Smiley

Does this mean your country told you pay tax? I was surprised you  were going to even attempt that.  If you would have went to them yesterday it would have caught them on Friday vs weekend.   So maybe honesty sometimes pays off.

What is avalon 6 nww price now in usd

seems around 4 btc, so $1700, but i guess you cna find at lower price if you buy it used on the market or on ebay



Before three months I can buy in local market for almost 300 usd here in china
Now I can find it 1500 usd Sad


I will think about other miners ...similar miners lab or yesminer


When price of BTC value goes up gear goes up to.  Difficulty can effect it to... which this one will hurt.

But expect miners to cost now more then 230 days.  BTC just is worth almost double of what it was for a decent amount of time.

no this is wrong, if btc value goes up the value of the gear goes down in btc, because it goes down in usd

in fact now the s7 on hashnest cost less than 5 btc, when before it was 7 btc

I might not have done a good job on being clear.  I mean value goes up (IE USD value).  If BTC goes up old gear tends to go up in value.  Yes less btc in value, but more usd.

But if difficulty does that..... it could negate the fact of value of btc.  So we might not see big jump on old gear.

Except that the 10 1600w PSU. are Serevr style hot pluggable and are built into the unit.



Rich

Thanks Rich.  I should have took a look for myself at their website.  However, I really don't care for SPT anymore unless they change their ways.

Were lucky that I don't think they have chips yet.  If they did imagine how fast they could make difficulty go up  (added onto high already). 

The SP50 is just scary specs with all that.  The good news is it might be slow on making they don't seem to be selling them to many, I think anyone getting one currently is under NDA or they don't have any sold.  So I'm guessing NDA.

I would add third option on vote as hardware. I really think it's the way of the future.

Slowly I see hardware taking over paper.  I still have some paper in safety deposit box.  But hardware is really nice to be able to actually use it safely.  I went from very big paper supporter, to a pretty big hardware wallet supporter.
3397  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best way to earn Bitcoins? on: December 18, 2015, 04:46:40 AM
My faucet earnings are going bad now Cry



it's not bad friend
you get some satosi from referal without doing anything Smiley
i think you can increase sharing your referal link to get more ref earning

I think what happened was one using it figured out how little they were learning.  I think this happens a lot new person hears faucets are great.. so they try it thinking free money.

After a few day's they realize they only made cents and spent a good amount of time.  So they stop using it.  I think finding a referral that continues using it long term is going to be pretty hard.
3398  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: SURVEY: How much bitcoins you have? on: December 18, 2015, 04:44:19 AM

I'm curious also it seems like if your working on something to get new people coins... the goal would be as big as fast as you can.  No matter how many coins they have... they want as much as you can do.  Seems logical.

How many coin's they have really I don't see how it's a factor in this.   Unless it's a investment or something hoping to get coins.  Unless you need coins from others I still don't see useful way of using info. How does this help your project?

It doesnt help people directly, but it helps them indirectly.

It's a measure of the wellbeing of BTC, and it will help faucet owners rework their strategies. Of course its helpful.

Are you able to go into some more details?  How long are you going to run this?

What is end goal of this? 
3399  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Miners should Start a Union on: December 18, 2015, 04:40:54 AM
We demand higher price. We no sell coins !

seriously its worth thinking of haha Smiley imagine if the TOP 5 mining farms (or maybe 10-30?) would demand to sell coins for 10-20% higher then todays value.

what could you even do about any issues you have, what down your mining rigs....lol  happy days a GPU mining will be back that day...... Grin

Let this thread die.  Why bump threads like this?  It was decided it in no way would ever work... not possible.

There is no reason to continue unless trying to get posts.  It already was going down in page.... but was bumped up again.
3400  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: BTC mining in your telephone - yes or no on: December 18, 2015, 04:39:08 AM
This is ridiculous. A phone mining 24/7 for a year would earn .0000001 bitcoin and no pool would ever let you cash it out. On the other hand the battery +/- the phone itself would have been destroyed in the interim.

Please don't even discuss such nonsense notions.
I wouldn't really put down this idea yet. We have several generation of chips ahead of us, where there may be some extra energy efficient one, that would run with ease on everyday devices. If 21inc developed a "computer" for bitcoin, then why not a phone for bitcoin?

But on my phone I would rather it have longer life then mining all the time.  I will have items that mine in my mining area... why put it in a mobile phone?

Something with zero cooling in a pocket all day.  Using battery life.  Sounds like a really bad idea.
