Just put in my order for 2 these look like they are gonna be fun !  I've had some fun with the prototype. I have not posted speed as my hubs are not great for the miner. I have mainly mined directly to PC, which is more limited on power. So i have direct connected and used PI and Windows. I have been using windows the most. I need to get a new hub as it seems the USB 2's I have just are not cutting it. They are cheap hubs I will admit that on current ones. |

sorry for bumping but.. could someone please check on this? :peace: When one of your chain isn't getting an High temp, it normally means something is wrong with it. Check the Log, you might have an insight. Also I don't see that you tried 2 links I put..... just said you had 000. Try those links they are good general things for blade trouble. Don't skip them. Also what is your PSU your using to power it? Please specifics model and watts. |

Coincidentally 4 of my 6 miners just got the 'blank mining data' issue. Tried hard reboots to no avail. Tried to power them up first and then fire up the pi after, still no luck. Switched form antpool to F2pool and they all came back up 100%. Weird they wont show the connected devices, wattage, etc until they connect to a pool. Thinking the pool is related in some way as I have only been mining on Antpool when this has happened. IDK... Best of luck on experiment tonight rootdude.
makes sense that antpool might not like an avalon 6 mining on it. I suppose they can tell what is mining on their pool. I have used the avalon 6's on solo ckpook org mmpool org f2pool org I have used multiple did not do solo. I did test antpool and had no issues. I can't imagine bitmain doing anything to stop people from picking them to mine does not make sense. But I have put at least a day or two on it and had no issues. On a side note if you want to see interesting pool owner talk you don't see much check out SPV mining topic in pool thread... it's very interesting and worth a read. |

Where can you find the current difficulty? And what units is it in?
Last change is at bottom of site: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty . Really far down it shows a lot of changes. Guess on current change is at top. It is a very good site. Also has one of the best mining calculators. |

If you have truly *free* electricity then running *anything* will be profitable.
But some are dumb to run think of like BFL minirig.... would be horrible choice. A1 is not so bad as power to hashrate is not horrible. I would go A1 old machine or S3 depending on price if I had "free" electricity. Most with "free" have a limited power amount. So if they use a little more efficient they might be able to put more gear in and higher hash rate. |

Considering 1.1 J/GH is still profitable here and i live in Canada, which is not a place with effectively free electricity like Venezuela, we still have a long way to go before 0.75J/GH become unprofitable. After all, many industrial setups have even cheaper electricity than be, where they can run 2 J/GH at the moment profitably.
With the BTC price rising, the difficulty will not only be sustainable at 95B but will most likely raise by another 30-50% during the next few months.
At a difficulty of 95,000,000,000 and with a Bitcoin worth around $450 you will earn roughly 10 cents per hour with one Terahash. So a 1.1 J/GH system will be economic to keep running if you pay less than about 9 cents per kWh. With a 2 J/GH system it would only be worth running if you pay less than 5 cents per kWh. The issue over the next few months is how far difficulty will rise as the large mining farm roll out their 16nm miners. I believe that with sub 0.1 J/GH 16nm systems appearing and systems such as the SP50 that a tripling in difficulty is possible before the halving. I'm at 0.06 so 2J is no good for me. However if i had industrial electricity the price would be 0.02~0.03~. So i'm guessing many place in the world has it for even cheaper and thats where most of the hashrate is. So it does not matter if all the home users stop using 0.75J/GH (its not actually the case) because is such a minority of the hashrate anyways. The big jump is causing old gear to be profitable again. But many like me I'm guessing have sold old gear and already invested in new. The difficulty is also something to watch. We could get a 20 percent difficulty. That would be huge and effect old machines if your barley making profit. I mean 1/5 change is massive. |

Does anyone lost his bitcoin buying from.this website I am just not getting it here. You've inquired about this. Virtually all the responses have been "This is most likely a scam". I have not, nor do I expect anyone that has replied has likely sent off Bitcoin, or fiat either, to find out if it is NOT a scam. If you want to be that person to prove or disprove what everyone has told you, then be my guest. I expect you'll get excuses for a while on lack of shipment, until the website and such just evaporate, along with your money. With Bitcoin, it's way very easy to get scammed. If the efficiencies, and prices are so stellar, why would they just not mine for themselves? There is so little detailed info, the whole thing just screams SCAM!!!There is no point hes trolling everyone. He get's enjoyment out of people typing long winded nice and helpful questions. He has repeatedly asked questions that were bad. The site is scam end of story. If OP want's to lose money we cannot stop him. But chances are he's laughing at people still giving good responses. |

Today is over and overall +20.9%
So most likely the diff jump will be somewhere around that area. It will be probably more than 20 percent but I picked 17.8 so I hope somebody shut down their miners.  It's scary but some might after this 20 percent jump. But chances are they wont with current price. At 463 were doing pretty good. Not long ago we were at 320 for the longest time. It as very stable there. Now it's lots of jumps. |

Thanks to everyone here for your suggestions. I have a different Pi, new SDCard and new rig, and it seems to be working OK. So, no way to really tell at this point what the issue is. Tonight I'll spend some time solving for 'x' and see what it comes down to.
Still have one unsolved question, however. I've tried to install screen on the image with no luck, so is there another way to either install screen or otherwise be able to view the cgminer console? I prefer to watch my rigs like that as they give me much more info without having to refresh the webpage.
Also, has anyone tried copying the cgminer binary from the OpenWrt image and put it on Minera as a custom miner? I may give that a shot tonight as well - moar graphs are always a good thing.
Thanks!
Have not seen it on Minera. The ones I have seen were always based on open wrt. They have done tplink version, and RPI. And one day I think RPI 2 is in future. But have not seen Minera. Would be interesting if you got it to work. I don't think we have seen a lot of mod's of firmware as far as Avalon 4.1's and 6's. |

5) no proof of h/w (thats why i am cautious with gigahash)
Actually, what is more important than 'proof' of hardware, which can always be faked, is proof of hashrate. This is extremely easy for the cloud mining operator to show live 24/7, they only need to show blocks being mined as they happened and from this can be extrapolated a rough hashrate. The only problem with this is establishing that they haven't sold more hashrate than they evidently possess. Which is why, if you really can't run your own hardware in-house but still want to mine, you're better off avoiding restrictive 'cloud mining' schemes altogether and simply renting actual rigs or straight-up hash-power which you can point wherever you wish. Where does this logic of your go while you evaluate Bit-X ? Same old same old from GermanGiant/SpanishSoldier/RussianRaibow accusing me of having an agenda of promoting Bit-X simply because I actively assist newbies to recognise that most Cloud Mining operations are actually just ponzi/fractional mining scams. Trouble is GG/SS/RR keeps forgetting that I have already commented to his weak accusation that as far as I'm concerned Bit-X could indeed be fractional mining as they only have a specific amount of PH/s provably purchased. I don't give a shit what you think, scammer, I'd sooner tell all users to avoid cloud mining like the fucking plague. Still doesn't change the fact that your criminal operation of cloudmining.website is a fraudulent scam. Don't think I didn't notice, by the way, that the 'bitcoinblackfriday' dot info scam copy of the dot com legit site had fraudulently-represented clone copies of legit services it was linking to but, and here's the funny part, cloudmining.website was linked to with no alteration whatsoever. It's almost as if the operators of the cloning fraud had an interest in promoting your fraudulent scam, while ripping off anybody who was clicking through to other services. I use to get the same thing I think he got tired of me. I always pointed twords Bitfury vouching for Bit-X 1 PH. Bit-X is actually a very big BTC exchange the cloud is a small part of it's business. Hashnest no question it is legit. He does not like using hardware as he never shares info of HW or say what company provided it. He just uses a payout... that is not proof of hardware. And it in no proves people ROI'ed as we don't know what they spent. |

I haven't used checks in my life and all but what will happen if someone steals your checkbook and writes himself some checks? Can you call the bank and have your money back?
If the Checkbook is stolen and whoever is holding it writes himself a check, he can't encash it himself since checks undergo signature verification. Holder of that check may pay someone that stolen check but who ever is the holder of that check and tries to deposit to a Bank account, issuing bank of the check will not honor the check because of the signature. More problem if the owner reported the checkbook as stolen. I would say Checks are good only in real life transaction but not through online. Checks have the transparent one behind it so you would have a decent idea of signature. Even if it does not have that the indent in check's behind chances are would be good enough to get a signature that would pass. But I could be wrong. I use to sign credit card signature's when asked to with different things not even close to signature. Credit card it never mad a difference. But guess that is different story. |

I saw your transaction and it is still showing unconfirmed!!!!
Really surprised that why did you sent that transaction without paying any fee.
Yes still unconfirmed after 4 days. It was my first bitcoin transaction so I did not know a fee was needed. Anytime with future payments I will always add a fee That will make it much quicker. One day transaction fee's alone are suspose to pay for BTC I believe (don't know as far as timeline). But transaction fee really is important. If you don't do it this is perfect example in most cases long wait. And it's over a few cents. |

when large companies are mining bitcoins then why is the transacrions are still so slow do something other are also effecting the transactions? I checked the date of this post before deciding to reply. To be honest, it is not worth mining with a computer anymore. So, let's ignore the possibility of mining with phone. Nowadays, large companies is mining Bitcoin in a large farm with hundreds of mining hardware. It costs a lot of electricity to mine Bitcoin. In other to sucess, one need to be faster than the competitors. With a 2.8 GHz processor and 500 kbps internet connection, you cannot get anywhere near 1 BTC profit. Check Amazon.com for some cheap mining hardware and learn how to use them.
If your friend and you really want to mine Bitcoin on this computer, try some new Altcoin that is easy to mine.
can you suggest some altcoins that my friend should go for atleast for his satisfaction and btw which mining pool is best for bitcoin and altcoins there is only magi that is minable with a cpu and monero, but monero diff is high now, so there are not a good profit to be made, you will waste your time with that setup you need at least one 750ti to mine something in the altcoin world Uh, there are many CPU-only coins. But the cost of energy usage on CPUs is huge. In my situation, for example, my CPU running at full is 230w, compared to my video card at like 180. those many are not profitable, actually there is zero profitable coin to mine with cpu right now, you can try better your luck with some gpu coin CPU and GPU day's are over. Even if you make money it would never pay off PC or processor or GPU. Those day's are just over they really are. Some coins like burst will brag trying to get new people to try harddrive mining... and it's a few dollars a month for most. OP you will not like it but it's true give it up on GPU/CPU. Buy a asic if you want to mine you can do a stick miner if wanting to learn. Or big miner if low electricity. |

If you want both, you must go hard work for it just like real life. There's no shortcut to successsince OP didn't specify how much BTC he wants, I'd say faucet. you can bitcoins in one click.
seriously though, most of the time free and fast are not worth it.
Faucet is good for newbie. So at least, people know how to trade with bitcoin Faucets are good for no one. Spending hours to get cents? It is not good no matter what rank you are. There are so much better things they could use time for. So many say they are good for newbie... but it will be dust in wallet. |

There are lots of people with a shit load of money on here, some early adopters are rich AF.
A DDOS attack could enable them to gain access to people's accounts, PM's & all sorts of sensitive information.
There would be a whole lot to gain & nothing to lose for talented hackers unfortunately.
Nope thats not how (D)DoS attacks work, it litteraly means denial of service. If access to the service is denied it is for everyone so there is nothing to gain, but a site that cant be reached. It was argued whether this should be allowed as some form of online protest. If 100's of people gather in front of a store they essentially deny access to the store as well. So DoS may be an accepted way of "peaceful protest" in the future. DoS attacks do not get any information from the servers: excluding what they send! Many computers connected to many networks in order to continue "pinging" the server in order to render the server disfunctional while the attack is going. This will ony happen if the data cables are not large enough to handle it or the server's CPU is unable to handle the requests! DoS is not peaceful in anyway. Peaceful would not be trying to bring down a site so someone cant get to it, or cause others issues. But it is right DoS is not going to be used for getting info. It's would make connection impossible if you bring down site... so if successful no info will be gotten. For info they normally would want to be quiet and would like to be secretly on website. |

I'm surprised I thought more would share out there. You will for sure need a way to extract heat. If you have vent's in room it will help as heat's rise and some go out. Mine is quite long and large on miner area and has possibility of using up to 100 amp. I use a gable fan like attics but it was expensive for commercial grade, as home grade was not enough for my miners. I would think there is a cheaper fan out there then gable fan's. But the install seems some are more involved then others. Also a way to keep rain out is important it can be done with gable vent's. http://www.homedepot.com/b/Heating-Venting-Cooling-Ventilation-Roofing-Attic-Ventilation-Gable-Louvered-Vents/N-5yc1vZc667And fan's are a whole different story. I'm hoping again your's with shed can be done much cheaper then mine added up to. If it is expensive lowes almost always has decent coupons on ebay. But with it being summer it's harder and harder to get fan's, for most places it's seasonal on brick and mortar stores. |

Will you be live streaming our miners in order to verify if they are maintained properly? (For instance, Genesis Mining is having a 24/7 live stream of their miners here => www.lifeinsideabitcoinmine.comI'm currently living at the datacenter, and I'd like a little privacy, haha. This is a good idea though. Thanks for sharing this! I somehow had never seen this very cool to see hosting center. I can think of a few upgrades. Would LOVE if you did 24x7 showing miners and have a temperature gauge and maybe uptime counter. See miners with that would be a great way to get customers. |

Really is a great U3 controller with custom firmware R1. I had a power outage today due to electricity.
The R1 turned it's self on once power was back and started mining again. So one more plus with this R1.

No, it's rated for 125v. I'm just saying that it also works on 240v.  Ahhh that is a big difference. I still might have got a dud then. it was 120v it was in with a single S4. So nothing over 125v. But it sure made it ugly under plugs. |

Not all sites work well with bitcointalk. I use photobucket lots of free space and works great. Have you tried any other sites to upload it to? |
