The idea that this has anything to due with bitcoin is just trying to tie every event to bitcoin, watch out this is how conspiracy theorist form, it was a chemical plant for some sort of production I am sure, not a bunch of S5's or you would see a large drop in the network.


and we did have a large drop in hashing..  so when did this explode?


We did

Seems the email or backend systems may be a bit bogged down, as I had trouble getting password and trading PIN resets to hit my email as well.

Took me three tries to get my password and PIN resolved, and I'm now in this for 10TH, with Auto Buy set.

Good luck everyone !

I am going for some more.
35964  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: NEW: Hashnest PACMiC V3 - 0.666 BTC/THS on: August 13, 2015, 02:17:48 PM
I now  have 2th .  I will post here regular.

I wonder if I should do one with and one with out auto buy

35965  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: NEW: Hashnest PACMiC V3 - 0.666 BTC/THS on: August 13, 2015, 01:45:08 PM
My third try at a pin reset worked. Yeah

I am going to get a second contract for 1th

@ BITMAIN_YHQIN

the first 2 were  very slow to arrive at my email the third one came fast.
35966  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: NEW: Hashnest PACMiC V3 - 0.666 BTC/THS on: August 13, 2015, 01:39:29 PM
and the second trade came and it is expired.  it is now 10:52 and I am trying for the third time.

BTW I have not even got to the point of withdrawals this is just changing a trading pin.


35967  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: NEW: Hashnest PACMiC V3 - 0.666 BTC/THS on: August 13, 2015, 01:32:03 PM
and it will not let me put a trade pin in.  I waited an hour for the pin change to come to my email it did I clicked and it said not a valid token.

so I am waiting for a second email to fix my trade pin





35968  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: NEW: Hashnest PACMiC V3 - 0.666 BTC/THS on: August 13, 2015, 01:27:39 PM
Okay So I buy in. .666 btc 1 th

I get a contract


35969  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: HASHNEST Discussion and Support Thread on: August 13, 2015, 01:02:49 PM
look closer 0.8 satoshi/BTC

the interest figure also is via 1 BTC so it is not 0.8 satoshi per contract but about 2/3rds of that

~0.5328 satoshi/v3 contract

I think they are just not convening what they mean properly...

2015-08-12 23:46:11   369614   3022   3.0   0.0010962   0.0   0.0000483   1.9980483   0.0

Here is my first payout on one of my contracts.  If you take...
seconds X .000000008 X Remaining Balance
  3022    X .000000008 X     1.998                    = .00000483 btc          which is what my profit is.


Also, from their ToS, it says...
Unpaid principal (BTC) * 0.8 (satoshis per BTC per second) * time to find a block (seconds)
It is just based off of the amount of unpaid principal, but it would be the same amount of profit as a V2 contract with .666 left to be paid on it.

Okay working on this:

You seem to understand this company more then I do.  I just purchased my first contract today.  

PacMic v3

I just purchased a .666 btc contract for 1th.  I never used hashnest but I have used bitmaintech.

So

A) how do I get a trade pin
B) how do I track earnings
C) how do I withdraw
35971  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: New antminer S-5+ selling options on: August 13, 2015, 12:19:33 PM
What do you expect the controller's consumption to be, like 10W (ex fans)?

I looked over some power monitoring data I've been doing on a S5 I have - and when it's not hashing, and when the fan is on another power supply, it looks like it consumes about 50W (it periodically dips down to 17W, but for the most part 50W seems to be when it's doing something with the FPGA, but hashing hasn't begun).

If that's the overhead, then for 7 S5's, it would be 350W total for BB/controller - and without the BB/controller as part of the power calculation the S5 drops from 0.51W/GH to 0.46W/GH (pretty close to 0.44W).  Now 7 S5's is obviously 7 fans and the S5+ only has 6 - the fan at full power consumes 0.20 amps (~24w), so the system savings would be 324W over the same S5 configuration.  Not bad, more than 1/2 the wattage of another S5 by just changing the configuration around a bit..

From this I would say that they've done almost nothing in hardware design to increase efficiency of the S5+ (as opposed to the work Sidehack has done), and instead have made their gains by optimizing the system.

you flux between 17 and 50 with no hashing.  It could stay stable at 17 when hashing.

 But for arguments sake  running 2 s-5's and using 1 controller.
then running 2 s-5's and using both controllers will give the true controller power draw.

17 is meh 50 is not.  

If I run 6 s-5's on 3 controllers I would save 150 watts. which is  about 110 kwatts per month.

But I read a post saying voltage was dropped to the chips on the s-5+. So I suspect your 17 to 50 with 0 hash while accurate has something to do with real numbers while hashing. along with the voltage setting dropped.

If you could run 2 s-5's machine on 1 controller and check watts  say 1150 is the watts.  then run 2 s-5's with  both controllers  and get 1200 watts  then you are correct.

I think you may get 1150 then 1170  my guess is the 17 watts number is more accurate not the 50 when hashing.

what is your internet connection?

Sounds like your net connection is dropping out.  (since the psu's you use should be good)

Also did you  over clock or  use standard clock.

I have 2MBPS connection.

If internet connection is dropping out shouldn't all miners decrease their hashrate?

all miners are at default frecuency.

At first i thought the miner had a problem, but with all of them? different PSUs? my friends miners at his house suffer the same thing.

Why would a blade shut down (Red led goes off and Temperature decrease to 30-32 C)

sorry but I meant hard wired or wireless.

 you have hard wired and pretty slow one.  do you run other gear on that internet connection?

if you watch a 1080p or a 720p video on the net connection of 2mbps while mining you may drop out  a miner.  

wifi connects can have issues. not your case


 a slow switch can drop 1 board..




so modem(2mbps) to (switch) how many ports?  and are the ports 10 or 100 or 1000 speed.





if you are modem>>>(cat 5 wire)>>>8 port switch>>>> s-5's and a pc  it may work better then

modem
 1)one port direct to pc
2) one port to switch
3)switch to 5 or so s-5's

in the case of pc not on shared switch watching a movie could take too much bandwidth from the switche's ports

My configuration is like this

Modem>>Router TP-Link (This is where all the devices in my house connect to)>>>>>>Switch (8 port 10/100)>>> Miners

I never thought that one blade could stop working because of this? why always the same blade.. (left one) in all miners.


the 8 port switch may prioritize its ports and if you get short bandwidth it cuts it to the port for that 1 miner.

Or a shit board on that miner or a bad cat 5 wire.

but the fact that it is always the same board is good.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First test is this
we can narrow this down I hope.

take the cat 5 cable out of the miner that drops its board.

lets call that miner bad-boy

take the cat-5 cable out of the miner that never drops it board lets call it good boy.

 if problem moves to  good-boy miner then > bad switch port/ short band width / bad cable

 and if the problem still occurs in bad-boy   we have eliminated short bandwidth and bad ethernet cable or bad port switch

 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
we then test this below

we have narrowed the problem down to
1)bad board
2)bad controller
3)bad cable that connects board to controller.
4) the board is good the cable is good and that port on the controller is bad------------------this is something you can fix

may all be a moot point don't know what will be asking price and shipping price of the big one.

Yeah, it could become a rather pricey experiment to conduct (big $$$$).

From what I read, ~$3300 each, and they require more power than most houshold rooms (USA) can safely relay.  A garage or shop with a 220V circuit may be able to do the job.       --scryptr

right now it is 2750  usd on bitmaintech's chinese website


the usa seller wants 3299 plus 75 to ship  so It would be 3374 from him.  I get some very small discounts if I use paypal so it drops to 3314.  Which is too much.

But bitmaintech at 2750 + ? to ship could be  under 3000.  Still too much but closer to what I want to pay.

For the last month or so, the speculation has been that Bitmain was replacing used S5's with "as yet unreleased" S7 miners. It could be that it was actually S5+ miners rather than S7's. While the S5+ has it's advantages, it's really a repackaging of the S5 technology, and nothing like the previous increases (e.g. S5 over S3).

If the actual replacement has been s5+ miners, then that suggests to me that the S7 will be even later than many had expected/hoped. Right now it's hard to see what will motivate Bitmain to actually release an S7, assuming it has actually got the ASIC work and other engineering completed. It's possible folks have been assuming Bitmain is further along than they actually are.

Just my $.02.


yeah more then possible more like it is true.

In fact they may not release the s-7 until nov this year.

The S5+ surprised me on releasing.  It is a way to get rid of ALOT of old chips.   So makes me wonder if they have a stockpile of chips, or just can produce them cheap at this point.

I think it will be a bit till next chip.  I think it will be based more off when it makes the most financial sense for them, not when we need it.  Also other companies could push it to be launched to.

It for sure would not make sense for Bitmain to release a new chip until all their new batches of S5 and S5+ have ROI'd for them in their farm, which is difficult to put a time table to when we don't know for sure how long they've been running S5+'s.  Even then they probably wouldn't release a new chip until they've pawned off sold many of their used miners to the mass-market.

Personally I look forward to the new hardware coming out because that means the current S5 used market should see an influx of hardware and the price should drop to a point where I can justify buying a few.

also by selling s-5's and s-5's longer and longer and longer the result is many many many many of us will not want to switch our s-5's or s-5+'s when the s-7 comes out.

If it is Dec 1 and 250ph of the now 500ph net work is made up of s-5/s-5+  the switch over to s-7's is slower. and bitmaintech stays ahead of the wave.

Simply all good business from their viewpoint.

Pretty sad that now only bitmain will do small form miner.

Lets hope lketc will provide one too but Im pretty sure they will not be able to fight bitmain.



no one is selling us gear except bitmain.

sfards is just way too high priced.  and while I have seen a few photos no one has done a real review of one.

Never seen this thread before. There's some funny comments in the thrwad, just read through the whole lot. Fair play to her, she got a crappy tattoo but it's probably the best thing she ever did. That's a hell of a lot of money for something that was a bit of a risk on her part.

Oh & obviously I'd import my private key right into that hot wallet.

be careful about importing your key a virus could empty out your entire load of coins.  Grin Grin
