It is pretty impressive how big the prize is, and it really does seem to bring people in even quicker picking guesses.  I will be honest I hope for a roll over again Smiley.  Just as it makes thread fun to watch.

I'm suprised price is at 416.  So hanging strong above the 400's no diving up and down.  Will be a interesting period to watch.

Best value for money will be either S3 or S5 based. You just need to do the maths and take account of the space, power and noise of the chosen installation.

Rich

If it's not in a room you use or have extra room's S5 is not bad.  But it runs hot and loud so not bedroom/living room material.

S3 can go much quieter.  If you truly have "free" power I would be comparing older machines.  I think I would compare A1 machines as they are powerfull but use a lot of electricity. But if you don't care on usage... might be a option.  S3 would be the more popular choice and hold value better then the A1.

1) One thing that above did not come out above that some wanted mentioned is that Trezor code is what it's based off of from the Trezor.  So some R/D costs, research, etc Trezor foot the bill on and KeepKey benefited on it.  KeepKey does have some differences but it was based off Trezor.
2) Is this "Is this sponsored content?" no I have no deal where I make money off sales.  Links are direct to keepkey and amazon.  I provide info but get 0 dollars if one or tons are sold.

3644  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / [Hands On] KeepKey Hardware Wallet - Notlist3d on: December 10, 2015, 09:22:12 PM
KeepKey - Hardware Wallet

0) General information
1) Unpacking
2) The KeepKey
3) Install
4) Using the KeepKey Wallet
5) Conclusion
6) How to purchase

0) General Information + Hardware Needed to buy
As said by the Manufacturer: KeepKey is a USB device that stores and secures your bitcoins. When you entrust KeepKey with your money, each and every bitcoin transaction you make must be reviewed and approved via it's OLED display and confirmation button. It now becomes nearly impossible for virtual attackers like malware or viruses to steal your valuable bitcoins.

Specs:
Materials- Anodized Aluminum Case, Polycarbonate Front
Technical- USB HID, micro USB connector, ARM® Cortex™-M3, TRNG (Hardware Random Number Generator), 256×64 3.12″ OLED
Dimensions- Height: 38.0 mm, Width: 93.5 mm, Depth: 12.2 mm
What’s in the Box- KeepKey, Woven Nylon USB Cable, Recovery Sentence Backup Card, Genuine Leather Backup Card Sleeve, Quick Start Guide

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.

Video to show general info:


1) Unpacking
Your KeepKey the most important thing is it's easy to make sure it has not been tampered with.  It really has two layers to do this.  First there is a plastic wrap all the way around it.  It's easy to see it has not been opened.  The second layer is more secure it's 2 separate special stickers so if it's been cut to be opened you will know it.




2) The KeepKey
Below are images to showcase the KeepKey Wallet.





3) Install
Install is very simple it uses chrome to do the install within.   There are three main parts:

1) In Chrome, install the KeepKey Wallet extension from the Google Web Store. This extension is a lightweight bitcoin wallet that let’s you send and receive bitcoins using your KeepKey. After installation, an icon is added to Chrome’s toolbar- Link
2) Next, install KeepKey Proxy Chrome app. This app provides device communication for Chrome so that you can use KeepKey in-browser. You will need this app in order to use the KeepKey Wallet Extension. - Link
3) Initialize KeepKey it is very easy and a step by step video is below:


As you can see install is a pretty easy task with the three steps above.  The one thing I want to stress is on part 3 make sure to keep your words stored safely.  They are used for recovery if needed, the keepkey comes with a nice little slip to keep them in safely offline.  The good news is you only do this once after it's all set and ready to be used!  

4) Using the KeepKey Wallet
You now have a very secure hardware wallet, that you can send and store bitcoins safely with. (And a few other coins aswell).  It is very simple to use after set up. To show this here is a video showing sending bitcoin:


5) Conclusion
So far the usage of the KeepKey has been very good.  It's easy to install and secure, which is important for storing bitcoin.   This wallet also feel's substantial when you use the KeepKey it does not feel cheap or flimsy.   It has a high quality build.    And what might stand out the most is the screen.  It has a very nice screen with the 256×64 3.12″ OLED.  You can tell the size of it the first time you use it.  If you are in the market for a hardware wallet this is for sure one to check out.


5) How to purchase
You have two main options and that is to order direct or to order from amazon.
1) Direct - https://www.keepkey.com/checkout-keepkey/
2) Amazon - https://www.keepkey.com/checkout-keepkey/

Please don't bash others.  This thread is meant for info on the KeepKey.  If your topic is just bashing hardware wallets in general it will be deleted.  That is a topic for another thread.

okay people 3 new members  all joined the forum  this month  they are marked above.

I realize the prize is very good so new names are to be expected  but I will track and make adjustments if this pattern turns excessive  in fact I am inclined to not let any more new members pick this adjustment.
  The three in can stay in but no more new members is looking like it may happen here.


I'm sorry but those 3 new member should be removed ... check their post history, it's complete bullshit

the 3 post in the same thread for nothing (How much time have been logged into the forum ...) and one of them also posted a nude selfie of a female.. Nothing about bitcoin at all.

EDIT: I'm sorry Phil, I didn't put the 0 in my guess ! 15.0 ... /failed

Last week when I did it I marked lower members, and did not have any new accounts.  Lowest was 1 junior member.   I think someone is gaming system with the new accounts... on the highest prize so far.

I would agree at least this time with prize so high remove new account's and keep watch on lower the full-member.  But so many new so quick is not normal compared to other weeks.
3646  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Mining profitability, total noob setting up first farm on: December 10, 2015, 06:41:18 PM
I am surprised if you can get 40-50KW of electricity for "free". That's quite a bit in my limited experience.

Butterfly Labs is a complete non-starter for mining gear. They haven't been viable for the last 18 months or more.

This seems like quite an undertaking as a first time mining farm. It will be at least a month before you an get the infrastructure setup and the miners delivered I'll bet. That's two difficulty increases. My expectation is that those will be at least 8% each (if not more).

You are also aware that the reward of 25BTC/block will be cut in half, roughly in June of 2016?


I would not believe in free 40-50KW of "free" electricity.  Maybe cheap in some places but not free.

OP I think  you really need a business plan.  For 6 figures you need to really have that plan very solid, and trusted.

Why don't you travel with ID ? Just wondering

That way when stopped you seal your lips and silent treatment the fuzz and there is nothing they can do except beat you. Its just an opsec strategy i.e. no ID all cash swallow paper with wallets written on it proceed to detention refuse prints release from ice unit proceed to secondary opsec location and gather papers.

I'm not disclosing any more of my intelligence. Those in the know in this field know it could get a little sloppy and at home mining is much easier then dealing with the headache of commercial.

Also its kind of fun displacing humans with hobby equipment for profit.


What kind of dystopian hell hole do you live in lol

Probably somewhere like Alabama.

Hey I'm not from there but the ones I have met from there were pretty nice Smiley.  Granted I met them outside of Alabama.

I really wonder where OP is.  That price is just hard to believe.
3648  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to start or participate in a "Signature Campaign" ? on: December 10, 2015, 05:03:12 PM
Hello there Grin glad to see newbies interested in signature campaigns. However it's a little hard for newbies to earn with signature campaigns but that doesn't mean you can't! just get to services section you can find a lot there post a comment in a form that OP require and wait for their acceptance then you finished signing up!

Just that they can in the two or so that accept them does not mean they should.  Honestly new users need to learn and get use to forum before doing this I highly suggest.

So many jump into a beginner one and ... bad small posts.  They get a temp ban.   It is to common for my liking.  So it is much better for them to wait till the time they can do full good and useful posts.   Until full member they really are not missing out on to much pay.
3649  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: sent btc to a wrong wallet address. is it lost? on: December 10, 2015, 04:59:33 PM
i am just new here because i got a big problem: i sent btc to a wrong wallet address.  Cry    actually the receiver gave me the wrong address and it was not my fault.

OP, have you considered the receiver may just be claiming he didn't get the coin?  To get you to send again?

He got super scammed, clearly. The "receiver" sent him a BTC address, then went "Oops it was the wrong one." *roll eyes*

Please, common.
Yup I feel the same. Whom received his BTC from him If he loyal person. I am sure He ll return it back, another possibility also there If that wrong btc address guy may be Not active using his wallet. This two may can apply for him.

But its a lie. It was a clean BTC address never used before, which means the person who sent it to him was the person to generate it. The odds that he came upon a clean address, never used, that is not owned by him... and then mistake it for one of his and give that instead of his own address... is a joke.

the problem is, i dont have much info. wanted to purchase something and bought btc on localbitcoins. and sent from my localbitcoins wallet to the wallet i was given. yes, many will say that it was not that big amount. but for me it was all i had and now nothing is left. no btc, no $ and not anything. i also tried to find out with typing the wallet address in the the browser. but nothing. as one of you confirmed already that the address was fresh new and never used before.
my hope has gone, my trust in people has gone. just don't know how to proceed.  Cry

I really cant stress enough you are not giving enough info.  What was the person's username that you dealt with on localbitcoins? Can you make screenshot's of him saying wrong address?    Just really go through story once start to finish with all details.  So far you still skip so many details.

If you do it all you might have a scam report... we dont know if you just keep posting so little of story. 
3650  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how can i earn with bitcoin please? on: December 10, 2015, 04:56:31 PM
By trading or joining signature campaign

to trading at least you have expertise in analyzing, if not you will always lose.
signature campaign should have good quality posts .

very good if you can do both Smiley

I think a lot say trading but it is harder then it sounds.   Look at BTC and it's big gain over last few weeks.  If you had invested in atlcoins likely you missed a big jump up.

So even if you win at altcoins BTC might be a better bet depending on what it does.  Also altcoins there really are a lot of pump/dump coins.  Not all coins are even worth investing.
3651  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Please Help Me Understand BitCoins on: December 10, 2015, 04:54:25 PM
Nice forum. I have read through a lot of it and I'm afraid I still don't understand BitCoins.

If anyone has any advice or suggested reading for a novice such as myself it would be greatly appreciated! Where do you buy them? Where do you keep them? How much is a BitCoin worth? Are they safe to buy/use? I would love to have a better understanding of the whole BitCoin scene so I can share my new found understanding with my friends at nodepositfoum.com. I get asked questions about BitCoins all the time and have to tell them I don't understand how they work enough to answer. Help?

Thanks in advance!

You can search on the google though, there are so many explanation about bitcoin. about this forum first you read the rules in this forum first. How much is bitcoin worth ? its so much worth, for today it's around  400++ usd. search google for more accurate.

There is so much asked it's kinda hard to anwser it all.  If you don't understand forums I suggest looking at youtube.  There are many good videos explaining bitcoin.  You really need to understand bitcoin and blockchain which a lot of videos or post's do.

Price is always changing.  But the time we posted exact price it would have changed.  It's a free market so does not really stay in exact mark.  Sometimes it is stable other it can gain or lose value.

The new antminer s6 wil come this mont
The antminer s6 gone have 4500 gh/s
Power 1000watts
I can not wait to order
What I find funny about this thread is he wasn't very far off about the next miner from Bitmaintech the S7 (4.86 Th/s 1210 W).  It could have been a pure guess, but also could have been rumors of goals being set around Bitmain.  I hope someone predicts the S8 as 10 Th/s 1500 W at the wall  Grin in the next few months.

S8 will be a big step for Bitmain as I think first we may see a 3 bay S7+ with 14-15TH.

S8 will then need a BM1386 and we are into uncharted territory as they probably the need to go straight to full custom on a 14/16nm Technology to get the speed & efficiency needed to make it worthwhile and be efficient enough after the halving. However agreed 10TH/s and 1500W giving 0.15J/GH sounds about right.

That said I would prefer to see a miner with 10TH/s taking 1200W, 0.12J/GH as you get a bigger choice of PSU's and the heat in their standard form factor is more manageable.


Rich

I think a S7+ makes sense first from past history.  They easicly can do the S7+ one day if they decide to.  So I think it is a easy extension.

S8 ... who knows not much talk as they are good at keeping stuff internal.

Hi I have a problem with my Avalon 6,
the red light on the controller board is on.
Does this mean it's broken ?
And is there something I can do to get it working again?


What does it show on controller?  Is miner being detected? What settings do you have setup?

We need more info I think.  Is it something you had working and stopped or never worked yet?
3656  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Did you earn some bitcoin today? on: December 10, 2015, 02:22:13 PM
I think I didnt earn now. The bad thing is I lost some. Damn gambling it really is addictive once you start. But the good thing is I just lost the ones I earned from faucets. 100k satoshi earned then lost.  Sad
wow you lost all of your effort for gambling? That's a little wasteful I have to say. It is advised that you shouldn't gamble to earn at all

The house always wins.  So many claim gambling is a way to earn, but it just is not repeatable.  Eventually you will lose.

Don't gamble your hard time earned money.    It might work short term but not a long term solution at all.

Hi guys. We did this interview with a mining facility in Romania. Now, we had some technical difficulties with the sound, and yea...I know it s not our best work. I just wanted to show you this cooling system they had, I thought that in spite of the video not looking at its best it s still something that might get you interested.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZHM8-3RxF4

The giant fan in the video is scary and it sounds really loud. Isn't it better to have multiple smaller not so dangerous and noisy fan?

Most commercial size need multiple big fan's.  Yes they are big and loud but they need a ton of CFM.

Not sure about this one looking at video lot's of empty rack's just there.  So not sure not sure this is best example.  But two main way's are evaporation or lots of CFM's as far as commercial farms.

voltage is adjusted by rotating the resistor.
PSU is very quiet, you can connect 2 Avalon6

If you were a bitcoin miner in the early days you might have profited a lot from mining. You cannot expect to make even 10% of that today.

Its better to buy and hold bitcoins for profit.

Mining still can be done.   It just is not as easy.  It was almost guarenteed 3 month ROI.

No it just takes longer.  And a lot of factors determine it.  But it still can and is being done by many.
