37521  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: 10PHs in 1 day vs 1PHs in 10 days on: May 13, 2015, 01:18:30 AM
Id ask more of what can I afford to risk, since its based on what you can afford really.

Say you go with the huge performance 10 PHs, question is that can you still continue even if the value drops? lol. As oppose to the other smaller hash performance you can since, its less intial risk and can be made for the loss.

Leverage is just accelerated risk, if its not done right which is the 10 PHs.

yes this is true.  if I rent 10 ph for 24 hours at a bargain rate (.0095)  say at our current diff of 47b    point it at antpool   I should make a profit.

If I point 1 ph at antpool for 10 days I should profit (.0095) same bargain rate  I should make an identical profit.

That is rate world of 0 variables other then 10 x = 1 x 10

real world the 10 ph rental has almost 0 chance of being (0.0095)  as it is too big and will raise the price = a problem 10 x 1


you will also fuck your share up  since 10+70 = 80 ph  of which you have 10 so your share is ⅛  or .125% x 1 for 1 day

1ph is  1 + 70 = 71 your share is 1/71 x 10 days = 10/71 or 0.140 %  so if the mining is to a pool and not solo  1 ph for 10 days is absolutely better then 10 ph for 1 day. = a really big problem for 10 x 1



So solo may be =.

But shared pool is not =  

so A simple question needs a complex answer.  any shared mining 1 for 10 days will be better.

10 for 1 day needs more analysis.

my bolded statement is something big farms have realized  thus they hardly add hash with more hash.  they swap  higher cost power hash for cheaper  cost  hash.  but don't increase their hash rate.

ie 10th of s-3's swapped  to 10th of s-5 =  8000 watts vs 5200 watts

In our  op's question  10ph is almost  certain to be more costly  then 1 ph over 10 days

I'm told $12.50 for shipping. Coulda swore when I looked at that page a couple hours ago it said about $4 for shipping.

USD is too volatile for to be used as a real currency.

that is pretty funny.  yeah the shirt company deal got weird ,  It fits in a padded flat rate envelope goes to all 50 states for 5.95 a package.  

 the post office delivers the padded envelopes and picks up the mail to ship it.  So they turned a good idea into a bad one.

oh 2 shirts 3 shirts maybe 4  fit in a medium flat rate box cost is 11.95.

12.50 to ship 1 shirt is too much.

I was charged 3.99 to ship my order for 1 is below

It could be luck pushing hash difficulty of low negative to low positive.

Bitwisdom now shows:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    47,643,398,018

I would be extremely happy with a negative this week.  If we got a negative and price over 240 I would consider it pretty great week.

It would be even greater if we get

Interested in joining the group if you set-up another round, let me know Smiley

well I for one am pretty crushed doing this.

3 team shots  

7.0 btc spilt 2 ways I lost 3.5 btc
6.0 btc spilt 6 ways I lost 1.0 btc
4.5 btc split 9 ways I may lose 0.5 BTC

And at least 2btc in other rentals all in the last 2 weeks

 I need a break.

Sorry I got you started in this Phil...I am out the same as you on all 3 groups but only about 1.5 alone....I have 1 more BTC that I had sitting to do but may try a group if anybody is interested.

well wait a bit  as of right now the group has about 5 hours to go.  once the group is done prices will drop some for you.

Yea I did 1.5BTC with the group and 2.1BTC solo. It hurts alot

Also sadly the group lucked out.

we still have some hashing power left.  I was grilling steaks and then eating them not watching nicehash.  Then nice hash had a front end stoppage meanwhile some one out bid us.  So we froze for a bit we are back hashing at a .0103 per th price which is just over priced.  anything udner 0.01025  a th is under priced.  our order number is #385281  on this page:

https://www.nicehash.com/?p=allorders


#385281   Standard   Alive   0.0103   0.93831740   ∞   500.00   0   0.0000

#386597   Standard   Alive   0.0102   0.32065793   0.70   No   1058   1076.3521 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> he is right under our 500th order .

also I have a bonus order I am running at the pool  so 385281 or 385240 (on my dime)  could still win coins for us.

they are nice quiet gear.  pricey but they are the quietist miner I owned.  I ran my 3 pack at 850gh each for 2550-2600 gh it used 1300watts on my 1500watt evga platinum psu.

If my summer power rates were not 18 cents I would have kept my 3.

I kind of regret selling them.

some more reviews


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=951758.0    an avalon 4.1 is nice but costly and quiet .  if you found these cheap like 375 shipped to you home they would be good.  these can be purchased new for 500

at www.ehash.com  these need a psu


my s-5 review.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=907219.0

jonnyb is correct in mentioning sp30 and sp31 if you have power at 205 volts or more.

and yeah the s4+ uses 205v or more power.  but I do not recommend it.

I can not do more stress on needing to know

your power cost
your power limit

If you have silly cheap power under 4 cents and you have 10kwatts available the s-3 second hand could work since it is very cheap
37530  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Bitmain s4, s5, and spoondiles sp20. I need nonbiased reviews on: May 12, 2015, 07:26:17 PM
yes i can give info on them.

The sp20's I ran up to 12 at a time.
The s-5s' I ran 3 at a time.
The s-4's I never owned and have been plagued with psu issues that is why I never purchased them.

The sp 20's scale watts per gh and hash rate.   they can clock as low as 800gh and do .45 to .47 watts a gh. they can scale up to .7 watts a gh at 1600gh.  Do Not for 1 minute consider them over 1600gh

They can only be purchased used without warranty they stack well I have stacked them 6 high with 0 issues.  they have a really good gui .


The s-5 runs pretty flat .50-.52 watts per gh 900gh to 1300gh   to go to 1250gh -1300gh you need quailty psu's with a little cooling help

the gui is not as good.  

The s-5 can be purchased new with a warranty .

If I were you I would get some of both as they work well together.
I would want to pay 375-385 max for an s-5
I would want to pay 400 -425 for an sp20.

I would not want  and s4
Do you have any psu's on hand
LASTLY  what is your power cost per kwatt.   10 cents or more do not do it.

teams odds are 1:8 to hit?
A bit better than that... assuming 500TH/s for 24 hours, it's about 1:4.7

Our rental overall is about 18 hours I believe (at 0.0099 per TH), we still have 7.8 to go, so we still have time Cheesy

FRICE AND TIME VARY.  We were as low as 0.0097.

hash has been 475 to 530..i do this the get odds.

4.5 x .97 = 4.365 btc  divide by 24.75 = 17.6 percent. about 5.68 to 1

it is an estimate since price moves around a bit.

the btc paid in was 4.365 btc that is constant

price has benn 0.0097 to 0.0099

and payoff could be 1 ,2 ,3, 4 ,5 blocks even more.

i used a one block payoof to get odds.

in a perfect world this order done time and time again would pay 23 coins for 5 plays

or 23 coins back for every 22.5 coins paid in if we could stay at 0.0099

technically this is an investment rather then a gamble since we are paying under the rate of  0.01056 x.97 = 0.001024


sidenote TheAnalogKid sent the .5 coin I fronted.

and we have about 6 hours to seven hours left our hash is up to 585th which sometimes happens due to miner over lap
37532  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: 10PHs in 1 day vs 1PHs in 10 days on: May 12, 2015, 04:06:19 PM
Speculation over rental prices, pool luck, etc really has no bearing on the question.  Generating 10PH/s in 24 hours, or that same 10PH/s over 240 hours ends up giving you the same number of hashes, and therefore the same number of chances of finding a block.

At the current difficulty, you'd expect to find a block every 5.684 hours with 10PH/s.
At the current difficulty, you'd expect to find a block every 56.84 hours with 1PH/s.

Whichever way you slice it, at the end of the hashing period, you'd expect to find 4.22 blocks, given the difficulty remains the same.

in a perfect world with 0 variables  beyond 10 vs 1 you are correct.

I suspect there will always be variables.  which will make one better then the other.

I just did 100th for 7 days = zip 6 btc put in

I am doing 500th for 1 day =?  4.5 btc put in


@ notlist in a world of many variables that can go wrong or right ie the real world I agree with you

but if you say no to any outside variables  and just  10 x 1 vs 1 x 10

 both = 10


There are certainly variables that come into play in the real world.  Pool rejecting shares, pool down, hardware failure, software failure, malicious code that prevents block finds being submitted, stratum redirect attacks, DDoS attacks, etc.  All of which will have an effect on your hash rate and the blocks you do/do not find.

Heck, we all see the real-world statistics... in fact the vast majority of us have at one point or another talked about a pool's luck... complaining when it's bad and rejoicing when it's good.

If we look at the pure statistics, your 100TH/s rental for 7 days didn't stand a chance, since at the current difficulty, that 100TH/s would expect to find a block only after 23.6 days.  Yet, I jumped onboard that ship and hoped it might hit pay dirt.  We might have gotten lucky.  We saw a miner do exactly that... hitting 5 blocks in a timeframe in which he should have maybe hit 1.

no question our math  was 3-4 to 1  10-15 to one on 2 blocks

this new shot math is  6-7 to one   on 1 block 35-50 to 1 on 2 blocks  very rough numbers.

In both cases prices were cheap and you can still do poorly.    you can miss 5 or 6 times in a rwo.

Home depot does not have any great coupons though, and Lowes might or might not take coupon as Home Depot does not have item.  Also its special order it to store or home no stock as most don't need this CFM so high.   So I it's a very YMMV on getting them to accept a competitors coupon on this.

remember   I have 2 of these   I can send them for shipping only  maybe 30-35 bucks.  Helps me clean my garage.

these fans do 550 cfm each or 1100 cfm for 2

37535  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Antminer or PSU issue? on: May 12, 2015, 02:54:12 PM



The PSU you purchased stated it was rated "Bronze", meaning that it is lower quality than of a "Gold" PSU. When mining, especially 24/7 you will most likely need a "Gold" rated PSU, the cheaper ones tend to overheat, not be able to keep up with the constant demand of power, and puts you at a small risk of a fire.
  This may or may not be true.

 But Bronze is more about   percent of energy wasted. Not whether it will run 24/7/365


The ratings on a PSU are just about efficiency of conversion.  The better the rating (bronze, silver, gold, platinum), the more efficient the PSU is in converting the AC power from the wall to DC power to provide to your gear.  You can have a gold rated PSU with crap components, just as you can have a bronze rated PSU with stellar ones.

Rosewill PSUs are newegg's house brand and are generally pretty decent.

This is more accurate.

I do wish op did not buy this unit not because it will burn or melt (which it may as I do not know the quality of the pcie wires)

The real problem is this will burn about 50 watts more then a good platinum psu

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151120&cm_re=seasonic_platinum-_-17-151-120-_-Product 

I have paid under 100 for these from newegg.

Also there are sellers of platinum server psu's on this site.

I fear the op will spend 1 kwatt a day extra on power that is :
3 bucks a month at 10 cent power
6 bucks a month at 20 cent power.

Yeah this is it I have to move on.
every time I start thinking im about to give up I hit another one, so this is a good sign, it makes it that much better when you work this hard for it Smiley

Don't give up hope though... The last block I hit I had a little over 3PH and only four minutes left with a best share just over 1G, then it hit and within seconds after it hit a share over 21G

We got this! Stay positive!

It would be really cool if we did pop, pop, pop  within a 2 or 3 hour span.  Unlikely but cool.

Still shopping around might see if any local hardware stores have coupons.  I don't have any good ones.  On the two big ones I got 50 off 250 so a good coupon.  Nothing like that so far.  I'm all for a good deal Smiley
