I have been using faucet list from this site; http://bittikolikot.com/ilmaiset/It is not in English but the list below Faucetbox header gives currently 44175.4 satoshis in one hour. Pretty good, I think. That is high for faucets actually it normally is much less. But if you look at it even at today's value that is around "$0.1844897230 cent's". So you worked for entire hour just to get this. I don't think it's fast or a really good way to spend time. Faucets just pay way to small. For me it is enough to earn $0.18 per hour...if I can earn it when I want... So say you put in a 40 hour week and get 7 dollars is enough for you? That just is so tiny i mean one hour of real work and you get the 40 hour of faucet. And keep in mind this is considered good for faucet... most don't get near this level even. It's just a bad way to spend time. |

profit 0.00373 from trading  small profit for this morning but im sure i can reach 0.01 BTC today hope i can get profit everyday Can you tell us where do you do your trades and which what porpose? Wouldn be great to know regards lama-hunter you can trade at huobi  im use 0.1 BTC to trade at huobi and use leverage 1:3 with LOAN, huobi give you 0% fee it's amazing, but he take 0.001 for fee withdraw Trading with leverage scares me personally. You are right it could add huge to profit, to get leverage investments you really need to research. How have you done overall with leverage? I just am afraid if wrong down goes the investment even faster. |

Good News - Just received my Avalon 6!!! Bad News - It's missing the LED Dongle that I see you guys showing so I can't connect it to the PI controller! Just called the vendor to fix the issue ASAP. <a href=" http://s482.photobucket.com/user/nhando1977/media/20151210_190023_resized_zps2grlorgb.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src=" http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr187/nhando1977/20151210_190023_resized_zps2grlorgb.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 20151210_190023_resized_zps2grlorgb.jpg"/></a> Newbie question - Is this a proprietary dongle / connector or is there some other places I can grab 1 quick to reduce my lack of patience waiting. Next Question for preparation is : 1) Is there a specific order that I need to power up these things. (i.e. Controller first and then the Avalon / Hashboards) 2) Does it really matter which of the 6 VGA / PCI-E port I connect from the back of the EVGA G2 1300W PSU? I'm currently using the bottle 4 and single PCI, skipping the dual cables. 3) To connect to the Avalon 6, I only need to look up the DHCP address on my router and then point the browser to that IP address like the Antminer or is there a different procedure for these PI controllers? 4) What does the LED, Blue, Yellow, Red on the Dongle you show means. Does it matter which port, top or bottle from the Daisy chain connector from the Avalon to the LED controller / PI? What does the LED color below these Daisy chain cable represent? thanks for your help. hmmm, did we buy from the same vendor, I wonder. Mine was missing the data cable. 1) Is there a specific order that I need to power up these things.

What does the LED color below these Daisy chain cable represent? ---anything but red is ok, port doesn't matter. You might check on who you bought from see if same re-seller it's not vendor but possibly re-seller. I have gotten from BlockC and Ehash and there were no issues at all. Sorry, I meant same reseller. It appears that resellers are doing the packing before shipping out the miner, mine came in a homedepot box but the miner was in a nice small box inside. RPi was outside of the small box and it is where the reseller failed to ship all connectors. Ironic that it's a benefit to use the Pi instead of a proprietary controller, yet the Avalon is dependent on some proprietary USB converter board that nobody can locate... I have always gotten 2 I believe per unit on special board. I could be wrong but I'm thinking 4.1's and 6's I got 2 per one unit. But I could be wrong as I'm not 100 percent sure. |

ive been scorned by spondoolies and i have 10 antminers (1 s5 and 9 s3) now. with my budget im either stuck at getting two s4's (not having to buy a psu) for roughly 1300 for 4th or spend 1700 on an s7. going the s5 route, your spending roughly 400 on the miner plus another 80ish on a server psu and that lands you at 3.4ish th
my situation is a little different, i do truly have free electric i just dont want to abuse it. i had a sp30 running and sold it my bill is used to the <3000 watts running.
with an s4, i could potentially use the leftover to buy more btc as well.
if you have other ideas, im wide open.
Being in a similar situation as you, i set a smallish # of AMP(@120v sadly) i'm willing to put toward mining and after having maxed it with small miners, i'm left having to offline some miners to online new one, so in this case i would save up for a S7. If you have plenty of room on your electric grid, i would go for S5's at 300$ish + shipping, i prefer them over S4 for modding down the noise and better efficiency, also easy to overclock stable. (You can change the fans for the S4 but its annoying to "extract" and then open up, then merge the long wires with the new fans.) The S5's are also a good middle ground between efficiency and hashrate density. At the moment i'm torn between S5, S5+ single "cube" and S7. It will depend on the deals i can get. I am lucky my miner area has 100 amp which has always worked for me. I have an additional 200 amp for house where I can put some if I ever run that much. But so far 100 amp has always been enough for me. I can say the S5+ was one the greatest least talked about miners. I love mine and would not trade it. But with one batch limited it is less sellers so not as much competition on price. |

PM question: You post some newbie question on your thread. Forgot to add, will this device show up on the Network as Androidxxxx for hostname or what is it to give away it's identifier?
Mine does not have a device name. Best to take a screenshot of attached devices on router before plugging it in. Then you will know new IP after plugged in is the Avalon 6 controller. |

This is a open forum feel free to compare/contrast hardware wallets. And what features each one has. Even the prices of hardware wallets. These are very valid opinions and good information in general.
If post just is something like "Hardware wallets suck" it chances are will be removed. But I have no problem with comparisons with other wallets its pretty much meant to be a open forum about hardware wallets. But if your against hardware wallets in general this is not the place as it just is clutter.
And if you have used other hardware wallets specifically your input is appreciated.

problem
chrome extension
hacker makes a extension that looks the same but says "error on device, please type in backup seed to restore device"
... and then your coins are gone..
trezor/keepkey still havnt solved this very easy exploit
Good infos! It also works with MultiBit HD with just downloading it. I have tested it and was able to successfully use the KeepKey. So you can do things that are not using the chrome extension. Seems like MultiBit HD using it would fix that for Trezor and KeepKey but I could be wrong. There are patches it looks like to get it to work with electrum. But I have not dove deep in it yet. |

Is this sponsored content? What did I just read? In my opinion I would say it takes some of the features many of you are use to with Trezors, and made a better hardware platform. It is a much larger screen, which is very nice on viewing compared to a small screen. Also the feel of device it feels more substantial then most with aluminum backing. Do you have one? That is my opinion. Yes I do have a KeepKey I still am early as far as testing. I like the bigger screen specifically and the feel of the body. You really need to pick one up to feel that it really does feel substantial with the aluminum case. It is not for all I realize it's a premium price point on a hardware wallet. But this is my opinions. I realize some will like trezor for price point. With hardware wallets I realize one does not fit all. There are a few different ones as there are different needs and prices points some want to hit. |

That's what I'm looking for too. Maybe I'll end up using the 2000W PSU and be very careful about picking quiet fans? Not sure.
I'd still love to hear how to add the two fans to the top of the 2880w PSU I have right now. That might solve the problem entirely.
Keep in mind it's still a server PSU so it will not be quiet. But yes it's more quiet then that beast of 2880w server PSU. Most server environments noise is not a big deal... so most server PSU's quiet was not a concern specifically on higher wattage ones. |

I'm trying to find A1's on ebay, and I'm not able to find any... Are they BitMain or made by another company? Yeah, You're right, I am looking for a bigger bang for my buck, but also if it's using more power then I will need to buy more PSU's, so i'd need to calculate that too.
There is a BUNCH of companies that made them. A1 is the chip that they used. The most popular was lketc Dragon 1T's. But I would do some math between that and S3 see which is best. The S3 will hold value better. But I'm not sure on current market I have a feeling one of those two will be cheapest per GH and still viable miner. |

I have seen in the near past some review of KeepKey and seems fantastic. Sometime i think that it is more advanced than the Trezor hardware wallet. If i ever choose to have a hardware wallet of course i will buy any of these two. I really have just started to give it a good testing, so it's early. It does have some huge pros right out of box. The screen is beautiful and big for a hardware wallet. It makes it where no little letters scrolling or other pains with small screen. Also second is it being substantial. With it's aluminum case it just feels like your holding something in your hand. But just holding it you will notice that and no cheap plastic feel. I still have a lot of testing to do and add to thread. But as far as out of box impression it does a good job. |

oh i see! i get it now..
i just transferred the wallet.dat file into my laptop to test, and which already has the block chain downloaded, and volia!!
it shows my bitcoins, that's great, i will just keep copies of the wallet.dat file,
awesome! i'm starting to get the hang out it now,
one last thing i need to test, i would like send you some bitcoins from my laptop, this way i can test to see if it asks me for the passphrase and if my passphrase is correct.
I will send it to this address in 10 minutes: 16mT7jrpkjnJBD7a3TM2awyxHub58H6r6Z (which i found on your profile)
Please let me know if you receive it so i know it works! You can take it as a donation for your help.
After that, i feel i am confident with bitcoin, and can start buying more bitcoins and buying things online!
Keeping that file safe is key. Do not store it online, on a computer harddrive. Put it on thumbdrive or something offline. And have a copy. Also having the private key is a good thing. You can make a paper wallet and with private key you can pretty much import it into any wallet out there, which is nice. |

Hey guys, I've got some money sitting in a savings account making low monthly interest (well below 2%) so I thought I'd invest in some bitcoins instead I remember hearing about Bitcoin when it was first released and loved the idea but didn't have the funds to play around with it back then...Now I do. Anyway, I already have a long time friend who is in the bitcoin buying/selling/trading "game" and that is really all I am interested in as well. He strategy is something like this; 1) He buys bitcoins on Circle (from a U.S VISA debt card tied to U.S Bank account) when price is low 2) Holds on to them until price rises (from Circle, he transfers them to a wallet on his local PC for storage, Electrum) 3) After price goes up, he sells them on Localbitcoins 4) For example, in November he bought 5 when price was ~$280....Sold them yesterday for ~$420 each ($700 USD profit in 30 days) He pays very little sending/receiving/converting fees along the way and everything is almost instant he says, and relatively safe. Any thing wrong with the above? Any better suggestions? I'm not a U.S citizen but I do have a U.S based bank account and debt card so only want to buy them with USD funds I have on there...No paypal/gift cards/etc. No dealing with chargebacks, invalid codes, etc. Aren't bank transfers the best option anyway? Does your bank account allow you to buy off circle? I'm not sure I have heard of not us citizen but us bank account using it. So I don't have a clue does this work buying there? Your number 3 scares me. I like selling at a proper exchange you have FAR less risk, but yes you get less money by a small bit. But look up money laundering it may sound crazy, and might be but in us if you do localbitcoins on selling it's possible to be considered a money launder. Will people do it and most not get in trouble ? Yes... but still keeps me away from it. |

Thanks again eveyone from all the kind words. Does anyone happen to know total number of certain ranks?
I'm just curious on how many hero's, legendary, etc. If we could get number of all ranks that would be awesome just not sure if easy way or if this is a lot of work to get a breakdown of it.

Hey, no chance, i send back the miner to the seller. he send me a new one he has testet before. now it looks fine  best regards paD He can send you another but they all zombie out with U3's. It's just a fact. Granted some do it more then other's and some argue linux less then windows. But I can guarantee the one he sends you will zombie out at some point after mining... and it will do it over and over. This is why automation is so important with these. Listen to notlist3d. He's telling you whats up. This WILL zombie. It just might last longer. You'll need to automate a reset of the U3 or whatever device it's plugged into. When I had one I didn't ever have a consistent uptime so I couldn't assume that if I reset it every four hours it'd be ok. Sometimes it'd go away minutes after a reset and others it'd last a few days. The best option is to just return what you have and pick up a few stickminers if you want to mine with the small hash. If the seller sent one for free that does make it a little better. But it does not matter what it does zombie out, just part of it's nature. You really need automation which means find someone who has written it for a RPI. Or easiest get a crazyguy custom FW R1 to fix U3 zombies. |

Great, Thanks for your help! I think I'll shoot for the S5's then.
Head's to eBay
It's not a bad option. I would do some ROI math first though. As free electricity S3 might get you more power for your buck. Or A1's like I mentioned. S5 is still not bad of efficiency so you will pay more then older tech. But with free electricity sometimes it's not needed on new tech. |
