yeah I cracked and sold 2 coins.  could use the cash.

BTW  we are cranking blocks out today

103 blocks in  the time of 14 hrs and 30 min   should be  87   

16 over for the day.

mixed results at best.

if you read this thread and others you can find info on it.

the biggest heatsink issue is 2 screws not 4 

the repasting of the chips does not help much.

I would think really good pads are better.

but frankly underclock the gear to 1250gh solves over heating pretty much every time

Still waiting on my order.

Put in a batch 2 order on the 29th of sept  

I got pillaged by them on this.

I had 2 batch ones and they went from 4850 to 4400.  So I delayed the batch 2 order.

I spent 2 days fixing the error.  Posted a detailed fix on site that helped dozens of miners with the issue.

I asked them to give me back my coupon on the batch 2 as the order was not paid.  I wanted to switch to batch three.

They said no they won't issue a new coupon.

But that I could buy the batch 2.

I did.  They have not shipped the batch 2 and have shipped dozens of batch 3's out.

To make things worse coins shifted.  So I could have had a batch 3 cheaper then I paid the batch 2.

So I lost over .9btc on the price shift  and  they have yet to ship.

All because I spent the time to fix my gear and post a how to.

For the rest of us.  I don't mind the price shift it happens.  I do mind they refused to issue a replacement coupon that would have allow me to switch to batch three.

Now to be fair they did give me a review s-5 last year. So I  guess its a push.

I am disappointed with the lack of respect shown to me in this case.

He gave a 2 btc gift to wiki in my name for the survey Dogie mentioned.

I did do a few failed equipment surveys later (my dime my time)   and sp-tech  440 sp20's was about  working and under 20 failed .  corrected below


 I could find that link to it:



this is the follow up survey final numbers

 "so of the 313  looks like 291 still run  and 22 needed parts from sp-tech or run a bit less then then should or are dead"

My opinion of the sp20 is it was okay it was really a 900 to 1300 gh miner.

It should of had a controller save.  The s-5 could double up and do 4 boards.

The s-7 can do 9 boards.

My biggest fear of an sp50 is a dead controller = 110th offline = bad

I could sell you this one

I am usa based.    the server psu does 2 s-3's easy

I got it for free so I can sell it at a low cost  the seller sold them out.  he charged 110 on sale 130 not on sale.

you need to be usa based.

once again about 4 days left  we may stay under 2%  and price is pushing 290 as it was at 287 not bad.

  I would be interested in this.   

BTW if you wanted to you could split them and add the raspberrypi as an extra cost.  But it would mean a lot more wires and switches.

 I ran 3x   4.1's   on one rasp pi worked out well for me. 

  You would need to do 3 units or more   maybe 5 units or more.

it did a lot better until it was subject to ddos for months causing a lot of stability issues.

we were doing 300th which was fine. now we do under 50th and up to 100th

I don't want to be anonymous so I use the same address. Over and over and over.

Can you explain to me how this is harmful?

Don't tell me if everyone did this no one would be anonymous as that is not particularly harmful.  IMO


I want  a public repeatable addy.

I realize I can have a wallet with hundreds of addy's if I want or I can use one over and over and over if I want.

I suppose some people want to remain hidden via changing of addresses so let them change every time.  Or let them have a common address that repeats over and over and over plus a set of hidden multi addresses.

I seem to recall a post saying it works. As to finding it I think it is on the big s-5 thread.

Lee is a major hoster in China so he gets okay info.

free power = faster return on investment.

An s-3 doing 480 gh at free power earns close to 30 usd a month.

So if you buy 2 you earn close to 60 usd a month.  coins are up so they cost more then last month

the cheapest I see on on ebay is 110 with shipping

so 2 plus a power supply = about 300

and you would have your money back in 5 months.

I just got one and I am running 20 sticks on it.

nice hub.

yeah .100  btc at 400th does not last long

All time high of 400th! won't last long a short rental.

my one s-7 is well controlled sound wise. 

I can run 3 s-7's with good sound control.

 especially with a slight underclock freq 581 and fans at 30

good.   I am waiting on my batch 2.

Question when did you order your batch 3.

I have a 1000 usd instant purchase

and a 50000 usd 3 business day wait

so I buy the 1000 instant and then buy   the slower coin.  The 1000 instant once used rebuilds from 0 to 1000 in 7 days.

I have been with coinbase for 20 months maybe 22 months

Still waiting on my batch two info.
