I know right? I finally get in early on an deal like the SIA miner and it's completely jacked. Kinda need a win to pay for the $4000 L3+'s I bought...lol
Can't you solo mine to a wallet? If the network isn't that bloated yet, seems like it would be the most profitable option... |

Delivery time is 50% of the warranty period.
Current payback period is 50% longer than the warranty.
You risk your money on the performance, the future returns and the likelihood it will live long enough to break even.
At the original asking price it was worth it, but honestly at the current price a GPU rig makes more sense to me (and is more energy efficient)... |

Can someone clarify this for me since I was so gravely misinformed? I thought Equihash uses a great deal of memory and that it was supposed to deter ASIC manufacturing since the ram requirements would make the machine uneconomically. Did Zooko lie to us, or just didn't really think this through?
Ethash is the most mem heavy afaik. I think it's a heavier one, but I would assume they've figured out a workaround of some sort... |

How are you guys hashing on ETN? I have been having a rough time... $4 in 24 hours on Nanopool...
How mnay Accepted/Rejected/Discarded do you have?
USE this etn.spacepools.org Nanopool only recognices 10% of your hashrate So they are using 90% of my hash rate for evil? etn is hit and miss. I've only had full hashrate from cpus, my gpus never got 100%. X3 is arriving Tuesday, so we'll see! |

I'll roll if he releases a firmware that bricks the fpga cards. That would be the most epic trolling of all time. Give out some really high figures, get a bunch of people to spend a ton of money on hardware, then release a firmware that destroys the fpga  I've destroyed an amazon node or 2 accidentally with power draw. Mining is the reason the shell now has that 150A limit. Right? I mean, I'd be pissed if I was one of them, but I only play with tester boards, I'm not down with spending that much on something I can fry so easily... Also GIRRRRRRRRR! |

Use stratum+tcp://etn.jedipool.com:9999 for what? Mining etn. It's right there in the address.  |

So the off-shore storage thing--isn't that kind of like short selling the coin? You're betting on value dropping when you do that, right?

Well, the A3s unless you got them on day 1 out of all customers you wouldn't have got your ROI yet, their price was 2300$, difficulty went up from ~0.5M TH afaik to 11M TH in 1 week, at 40$ per 1K sia that would still have made 1K usd, but prices of sia went down afterwards to 20$ then 9$.. you had to mine 120K coins at 40$ to return your 2300$ which till now none of Batch 1 miners did, afaik most should be around 100K coins
Not true at all. Been running my A3 since the day it arrived. At current Sia value, if I were to cash out coins right now I'd be $800 over ROI |

Any news on fixing the Mac electrum wallet?

May 3 and still no shipping confirmation.
The current ones up for sale say May 11-20. If these are rejected orders or leftovers, then that's about what to expect. |

What is the best solution to optimise GPU's temperature/fans management? Currently I am only using in config? I haven't tried Claymore's settings as I've heart they don't work in Linux - or am I wrong? ethOS - v1.3.1 Claymore - v11.7 Thanks That is correct, on ethOS you don't need to touch Claymore settings, you can set it all (including dual mining) in the local.conf/remote.conf. I see but isn't 80% too high for the fans? Can I make the fans to automatically reach the desired temperature? Not at all, depending on room temp mine vary between 60% and 90%. If all your cards are as overclocked as you're planning to set them, and your temps are below whatever level you deem "safe" (I go by 55C, as that allows some comfortable room temp variation), feel free to lower it. |

One of the major problem are pools for example minerclaim arent helping. Many pools are setting limits. unless all pools are setting limits its not helping the community. and as for these large whales. by setting a hash limit they would have to create multiple accounts. but then the pools can look down further by not allowing the same wallet be used more then once. so in turn it would be harder the mange everything the higher the hashrate the whalers want to do. the currently person who is doing 10,363 on minerclaim. they would need to create 42 accounts and need 42 wallets. the higher the rate the higher the accounts and wallets needed. and to even add more security lock it down by ip address and even mac address
Could even take it further where by you must have the wallet open at all times. and if you have multiple addresses the wallet can report this back to pools and if the you have miners using more then 1 address from that wallet. the pools will know and stop the miners on 1 of those addresses. so it turn it makes it even harder to manage, etc.
Basicly the devs need to think in a logical way but also in a way where what software developers do licensees for software. For example my software if you tried to use the license more then once. it finds out if its already been used and if it has it says sorry its already in use. and the sotware wont work without the active license.
Not a bad thought, but there are ways around all of those things, and they're not that complicated. Someone who knows enough to run attacks on coins knows enough to be able to circumvent all of those, so I'd say it's mostly a waste of time implementing (though the pool limits and per wallets part is cool, if for no other reason than it would piss them off)... |

Nicehash does not list X3 as a supported device now. They still letting X3's join the pool? What's the payout?
I was just going by Whattomine.com, I don't have one yet. But have you tried connecting your X3 to nicehash? They may not be yet or they may just not have updated their howto... |

All you haters can hate all you want. Usually the most hated things pump the hardest.
I'm smiling mining away with my X3. This machine is badass. Uses very little energy and its not as loud, Quieter than an L3+ . Start up is much quicker and quieter. Only has a single Fan.
Perfect for the home miner since it uses the least amount of energy 500 watts. The single fan spins at 4700 rpms at default and the chip temps is 55c. This chip runs very cool.
Im getting 233 khash/sec
I'm currently Mining XMC on bitmain antpool . Until I find a better coin. But as of now I will join the bitmain army and dig away.
You can mine all the shitcoins you want. But never monero They will not come back ... Don't underestimate the power of the dark side Asics. Some Legit coin will utilize the mega hashing power of the X3 to secure the network better than any GPU. ...and in the meantime, nicehash is paying out just fine if you're not a fan of any of the available coins... I ordered a second batch one since I A) need a space heater replacement for my S5, which now loses money; and B) really want to play with making it silent and using it for a greenhouse this winter or something similar... |

I feel opposite; I bought two A3's for $980 each and expected a total loss on them, and sure enough they dropped to making $6/day before electrical, and now they are up to $15+ per day I am floored. If Sia keeps rising, who knows. The Halong units are actually more expensive per hash than the A3, Bitmain's next A3 batch is only $520 each which is much cheaper than the Halong per hash.
The difficulty will be such that at the point the $520 batch is done shipping, daily will be back down under $10. A rise in the coin value does help though. (also if you held your earlier coins, you actually made a lot more than $6/day ) |

I honestly don't know who or what this is for, and the sale page offers no description (not even the algo or coin info), so meh. I do like the wattage, if it's even remotely profitable it will make a nice space heater, but seeing as it's now late spring I can wait for one of those for 5-6 months (or just keep using my silent little S5, I suppose)...
It wont make much of a heater at 360watts. Too little heat generated. For a bedroom? Perfect. It won't heat a room, but when you shut off the heating for the night and leave this little guy running, you'll stay nice and warm... |

It depends on the country, but for most I would say a pretty solid no.

But no resale value... which makes things slightly more interesting... If you can recoup 2/3rds of the price on a GPU rig at time of sale, it's a wash.
Yeah you think there is no resale value? Everything has
I think the point is: not like gpus. GPU prices fluctuate with BTC value, sure, but their lowest price tends to be MSRP these days for anything made within the last 2 or so years, and often much higher (after 6 months with my 1060s running, I can actually sell them right now, used, for more than I bought them for). So if you're buying from a reputable place, you aren't likely to lose money in the long run, even if you don't mine a day with it. ASICs are more like cars, they lose value immediately and continue to. Don't believe me? Check out how much a D3 goes for on ebay... |
