woah huge post.. so this guy was trying to scam others with a fake bitmain site? lol thats pretty crazy

yeah and if you signed in he has access to you bitmaintech password ,not good if you have cloud with them.

When in doubt, try and login in with completely bogus Id/Password. I did so using offensive words at every usual place, it was completely happy with what I put in. I always wonder if the scavenger of the Id/Password info recognizes what I've told them to do.


LOL thats hilarious.. it accepted total bogus user/pass combos, he/she is probably looking at his logs and saying wtf

i generally always convert my coins to fiat to immediately pay off debt, although now with prices this low it hurts
343  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Second hand S5 for Bitmain, are they worth ? on: August 24, 2015, 06:24:56 PM
if you are diligent and scour ebay constantly you can find some good deals on s5.. there was one earlier that went for like 360 shipped

But 360 isint that much of a good deal since thats a massive 1.75BTC. The ROI on that purchase would take a very long time if possible at all, currently.

yeah maybe 5-6months depending on electric cost.. but thats about the closest ive seen to bitmains last price which allows one to use a credit card to purchase.. although zoomhash now has the 3 pack for like 1100

If you mine on new gpu centric coins with a gpu and constantly pump and dump and switch coins theres still a slim chance.. but more than likely will not ROI

Batch 2 of the S5+ is currently available for sale from Bitmain.

nope! it's just a good scam Wink

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1156770.msg12228844#msg12228844
Yeah, I saw that just a minute ago.  I edited another post where I mentioned the second batch.  At least I didn't copy the scam link, but just said that it was available Smiley.  They did a pretty good job of mocking up Bitmain's site.

yeah thats pretty crafty, i wonder how many of these fake s5+ units they were able to sell (aka scam)
347  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Hands On] Bitmain AntMiner S5+ - Notlist3d on: August 24, 2015, 06:13:39 PM
yeah whoever "purchased" these were more than likely scammed, it seems pretty obvious at this point

349  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Request for Discussion: proposal for standard modular rack miner on: August 24, 2015, 06:00:42 PM
yeah the modular design would solve so many issues.. something similar to the S2 backplane with interchangeable cards not depending on manufacturer

I wonder if you could zip tie two of the 2880w PSU's on each side of the miner to make it more tidy and neat.. seems like they can sit on their side right up against the s5+ side and if theres a way to affix them like that would be a good solution to loose psu's all over the place
353  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: WTS - 5x SP20 - Canada on: August 19, 2015, 05:38:52 PM
just to help clarify, seems like sp20's are going for $475-$500 or so usd.. OgNasty had/has one for $475 shipped FWIW

i accidentally switched to coinocard thinking it was the same as coinoindex.  I hope I did not lose my payout

Wow this is great, Bitmain just dropped the mic with this lol,
looking forward to hearing more about this chip.. It seems likely that the s7 won't be too far off

If you go with recommended PSU's it is required.  The PSU's they recommend don't work with 120.   

But yes you could keep throwing 120 lines to lower power PSU's.  But would not make a lot of sense.   Just look at amount of PCI-e cables it takes.  But if you ROI'ed on a lot of ATX supplies and had multiple line's of 120 close together yes you could run it.

They "recommend" their own PSU and it has nothing to do with what is optimal, only what is profitable Wink

120V PSU's are no less effective at powering this beast, so long as each PSU has enough rating to fully power each board fully (only 1 PSU per board), but 12V is 12V.  240V PSU's gain a couple percentage points in efficiency, and when you get into the larger server PSU's they require 240V, but the hardware could care less what's feeding it.

The amount of PCIe cables it takes to run would not change whether you had 9 individual PSU's or 1 4000W PSU, not sure what relevance that has to PSU selection? The best PSU for the job is either the one you've already paid for, or the one that will do the job for the least amount of money that meets your expectations (efficiency, etc) without dying.


If you ROI'ed on a lot I agree it could make sense.   But 3 PSU's running on 240 makes a lot nicer setup.

Having 9 PSU's might work but just not the way I mine personally.   Again I can see why you would want to use them, but chances are those 9 are not gold.  If you had 4-5 gold rated PSU's that could do it sure go for it.  I personally just like gold or better getting that extra efficiency.

Yeah or two 2880w PSU's IMO would be ideal.. Less clutter and more room for additional s5+ units.. Instead of a whole bunch of random atx PSU's that one would have lying around.. Yeah it would work but it's not practical other than someone running just one in their garage or whatnot

for some reason i thought payouts were on Wednsdays.. oops Sad  I think I missed the 20post cutoff

the paypal option is nice Gareth.. but soon you will have other resellers stocking up on these offering them for under 3k.  I know Scott at HolyBitcoin is getting a shipment in and accepts paypal as well, i think he is planning on offering them at 2999.97

They are on ebay at $2900 + $60 shipping

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-S5-7-7TH-ASIC-Bitcoin-Miner-Brand-New-Factory-Sealed-Box-/262009233717?hash=item3d00f7a135


yeah not bad, some guy had one for 2500 earlier and it was snatched up quick lol, makes me wonder why he had it so low with ebay / paypal fees.. probably just trying to get his money back after realizing he didnt have 220v
359  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon 4 mini 25G-30G @12W Home /office miner Discussion Thread on: August 18, 2015, 09:45:32 PM
