Definitively try another pool. Pointing your hash to China if you're far from China is silly in the first place. And its still silly in the second place since they have a big fee.

You have to be joking, honestly. There is NO way I believe you are trying to sell an Antminer S1 for $150 AUD, plus you are just LYING. "For nearly a year, the BitMain S1 has been the gold standard of the mining world" Yeah you're off by 6 numbers buddy, the S7 that mines at 4.73 TH/s just over 26 TIMES more powerful. Just get out of here because you're obviously not being serious and if you are then you are pathetically trying to scam people by vastly overcharging them and giving them false information.
Its prolly copypasta from years back. But yeah these are worth 5-10$. |

Hm... that is a good point. It'd take a bit of rigging but you could use the 500W to kick on the 850W, but then you violate Bitmain's recommendation to have the controller power up last. With a bit more rigging you could probably cross-latch them to avoid that problem, but if you know enough to do that you probably also know how to wire in a 240V circuit.
I'm working on a redesign of my Dell 750W board and hopefully a new batch, which with that you could load-balance a pair on a common rail and get 1500W with 10 cables off 120V for about a hundred bucks. Too bad a full production batch is more than a month off.
Very nice for people "stuck" on 125V. My fix was mining on my Oven plug, until i got 250V. I'm guessing cloth dryer plug would work as well. |

Its possible and its a pain and why buy a R7 370 right now? And if the rig is not for gaming, you could consider it but i wouldnt mix AMD/NVidia in rigs.
the R7 370 is cheap + low power + 15mh/s = good deal eh ? and can i mine with 1 GPU and use the 2nd one for playing games? is that possible ? The 400 serie come out this month, so... And 370 4gb is not so cheap with that in mind. I mine and game at same time but considering i have stability issues with just AMD, NVIDIA + AMD would probably be worse. |

My rig error , thanks to all helpers. 4/06/2016  Take a look at your proxy, not the miner. The miner is just trying to connect locally. |

Hey !
guys, i have GTX970 and i want to buy an AMD card to add on my PC
would i be able to mine ethereum with my GTX970 & R7 370 ?
i heard that it works somehow
i just want to know if someone have done it
bcuz i dont want to waste my money on a card that i will never be able to use
thx guys

sure "mining end with ethereum"
see you in 1 year with another great profitable coin, and for your informatuion spreadcoin has the same profit right now
so no i'm not kidding, but amd is not optimized to mine it, only nvidia for now
I'd rather ROI 500% in 1 year with AMD than "250% with NVIDIA, just in case AMD is not good to mine in 1 year." No point in speculating what will be profitable after Eth goes PoS. Could be Pro Nvidia, could be Pro AMD. But so far in the years i've mined, AMD's bang for buck always won overall. I'd be glad to have any reason whatsoever to ever build a Nvidia rig. still you didn't provide the proof of those 30MH with 480x, i see no confirmation on that hashrate, cryptoblog still say that it need to be tested and i don't care about ethereum, i know for sure that crypto will be always profitable, etheruem is not the first and not the last of the altcoin mining not to mention that little coin that are much more profitable than ethereum for one day, are still there popping out, from time to time Proof? Probably because they said it had Nano-like performance and watt efficiency. And the bus width allow plenty of memory bandwitdh for it. It's true that the reports on reddit aren't substantiated with a video showing the S/N of a rx 480x. Maybe they're all fakers.  |

I need a new graphics card and was just about to buy one when they announced the RX480.
Would be interested to see how this mines etherium or other altcoins.
$200 seems like a good deal for this card.
By the moment "better" cards will be released and available ETH may drop in price, difficulty increases etc not immediately, huge farm can not afford to change each of their gpu to the new one, so only small farm will have an advantage I've seen the other post of the 27mh on 1070.
There is zero evidence to backup his claim.
Until I see pictures or posts from a trusted user then I will remain suspicious.
I do respect the community - i'll post the picture of the rig with 6 1080s running on windows It will be nice to gain a point of trust in exchange though  Please do so at your earliest convenience, I am debating between Nanos and 1080s. You should consider 1070 - even if they fix the perf - still 1070 is a better buy - i dont have one at the moment - but 6 1080 should look nice I fail to see how a 400$ card with less perf of a 200$ card can translate to being "a better buy". you need to read it again, he mean a better buy compared to the 1080, not 480 also 480 real hash is yet to be seen could be only 22MH at 150w real price of custom design is also different than target price, we might speak about a less difference also there is an algo right now on where nvidia is vastly better, i don't buy a card only because of etheruem It was seen, it does 30MH/s as expected. I'm saying 1070 nor 1080 is a better buy than AMD currently, i'm not saying x Nvidia card > what Nvidia card. But yeah i didnt reread the whole thread. I'm just surprised people are still debating. Its all. |

BTW - that "S7 lite" thing Bitmain came out came fairly close to your demand.
Bit more power usage than the S5, but not all that different - I could have swapped it in place one-for-one with my S5s easy enough, though what I'd do with those Enermax PS it comes with I have no clue - I'd have prefered it NOT have a power supply and LOSE the cost and shipping weight of those things.
Still a lot of power I would much rather on the 200 watt end. So 700 is pretty hefty. There is nothing current gen that fit that description. You'd have to undervolt S7 blades and custom cool it. |

could be even lower, you know S11 won't be as fast as mid 2017, it will be within mid 2018 as they are probably introducing a S? model each year.
i mean, the watt power: assume that kind of miner could go lower than 1200 Kw.
The Chinese tend to always go for the bang for buck approach. So i'd assume they would raise the voltage to bring the AC draw to 1.4kW~ I don't think S11's are 2 years away. I'm pretty sure they could make a better chip on 14nm still. Or just print tons of them and make high chip low voltage units. 0.06J/GH is mostly likely possible already. |

You'll have to look locally and go pick them up yourself. For example, it would be absolutely ridiculous to ship these. It'd probably be 20$ per to Canada and 40$ per to US. If you're close to Ottawa, let me know.

Oh yeah, my speculation.
S11 will continue to be a 3-board design in a form factor similar to the S7/S9.
25.3 TH plus/minus 5% at 1487 watts +7% at the wall using their 1600 watt PS (93% efficienty).
Initial shipping date 16 Febuary 2020.
Initial batch cost 4.3 Bitcoin, or whatever that equates to in Dollars = or $3200 dollars, whichever is MORE.
The CHIP (BM1389) will be capable of 0.045 J/GH but they won't run it at it's highest efficiency point or anywhere close to that.
I'm giving it 50/50 they'll come up with a BM1388 chip in late 2017, squeezing another 25-35% efficiency from it through improvements in process node tech and more work at optimisation - in which case there will be an S11 much sooner, but it will be more of an S5 to S7 transition on the same node with quite a bit lower percentage improvement on specs.
BTW - anyone else notice that the BM1386 is missing in action? Gotta wonder if they started work on a 14/16nm not-full-optimised chip design and aborted it when they realised it wouldn't be efficient enough over the BM1385 to be worth producing (Hello LK-1401)....
I think the 3 board design is here to stay aswell for them to have it on S7 and now S9. I personally like it with a mining area, but can see why home miners would want a more S3'ish miner. But likely remain odd numbers aswell I don't see a full all in one like S4's coming again. I think selling AntMiner APW3-12-1600 separate is a pretty good bet for them as that is heck of a add-on sale if you can get people to buy PSU with miner. But as far as efficiency I think they will manage to squeeze some more efficiency out of S9 chips. Going to guess 30-45ish percent increase enough where it where people want it basically. And i'm pretty sure Bitmain will stick to current TDP. 1400W~ make sense and that by itself take up a whole typical 120v circuit. I also think they will come up with something else before the end of the year. Maybe they will keep churning out S9's... but i don't know. I'd be inclined to see them release a S9+ thats the same thing, but lower voltage, so they can farm more money off silly miners. |

Bandwidth shouldn't be an issue, although use increases the higher your hashrate is. What connection do you have?
Hashrate has nothing to do with bandwidth usage. Your hashrate is not submitted. Only the shares over the selected difficulty. (And a bit of talk back and forth) The bandwidth use is very minimal. |

what is the equivalence of rx480 (280x 380 390 7970)  ? Cooler blower is so loud.  The Nano scale step being so big, it would be close to r9 390x but using much less power. |

Pretty similar, yet still worse. You will literally hit the halving just as you start mining with these. Then the diff will skyrocket and make it even more pointless.
Why should diff rise after the halving ? I think that many of the miners turned off, if the BTC price stays the same or decreases. Bitmain mining with this (S9 blades) type miners already long ago. Patch1 sales not affect difficulty very much. This is a small amount of very expensive and highly effective miners for home users. What is important , what happens to with the all old miners. Turned off or still mining . I think it turned out the majority of S3 and S5 and very cheaply sold a lot S7 in the whole world. Do Bitmain will sell S7 upgrade KIT? This is the big question. S9 Dimensions: 350mm(L)*135mm(W)*158mm(H) S7 Dimensions: 301mm(L)*123mm(W)*155mm(H) As shown, the S9 is longer So I think , no upgrade KIT for S7 Because China and Data Centers/BTC mines that hold most of the hashrate don't care. They already have 0.01-0.025$/kWh. Because Bitfury has stuff too. Because Bitmain is going to pump tons of these. The hashrate will probably drop a little at first and then its going to spike as 0.06-0.1J/GH get rolled in in masses. Because in the best case scenario, the S9 will still ROI in 1 year, which is absurdly long. |

I saw the price, and then i laughed. Remembers me the days Bitmain announces the S7...deja vu? Nine months from now you can buy them for less than 500$. Pretty similar, yet still worse. You will literally hit the halving just as you start mining with these. Then the diff will skyrocket and make it even more pointless. |

it depend, if one 1080 will do 40MH at 180w, it would be good to get
here you have 20MH guaranteed maybe 25 at 120W
still the better choice for nvidia is the 1070, at 32(maximum possible) with 130w, but it will cost more
Nvidia didnt fix their low speed on OpenCL so... no. Would be nice if it came to be, but don't hold your breath. even without the fix, a 1070 is doing 27MH on linux at 125w, pretty good to me, ig uess with tdp lowered, it can be even lower than that We'll see, this is on par with undervolted AMD card efficiency. Whats left to see is how the "twice the power for the same price" from Polaris translate to in the mining world. |
