Can I asked what the check for payout processing means? Just never heard that before and wondered what it meant.

Thanks

How is this not illegal. I mean buying a bank account under some one elses name. Sounds pretty illegal to me.

Awesome info. I think those are both the same. I took that information and ordered one amazon. Should be here on the 3rd. Thanks for the help.

I was thinking the same thing at first, but a fault on the PSU wouldn't cause the voltage to go to the heat sink.It would have to be a fault on the board it self. The psu would be providing the power only unless one of the wires coming from the psu to the 6 pin molex connector was cut and touching the heat sink or the out side of the case.

I posted this in the market place but thought I also might try here as well. I am looking for a capacitor for my bitcrane ultrahoist board. I bought it used a couple of weeks ago and it came broken off. I borrow one from another board for testing but still need to replace the broken one. Any one have a board or a capacitor laying around? Or know where I can get one? Here is a picture.  Thanks!

You are correct mining at home is always profitable with the correct hardware and free electricity. Like me.. but even if you dont have free it can still be profitable with again the correct equipment. I wish I could get some more equipment. Only running 3 currently trying to fix to bitcrane cards i just bought.   

I don't know is that would be enough to cause the voltage ride through the heat sink. Take the screw out and turn it on and test for voltage on the heat sink. If it is gone go to your local radio shack and get a spring. ( Dont know why a spring would cause such a problem. If the screw is not the problem and you have some thermal paste pull that card look it over before taking it apart looking for anything that doesn't look right. Or post some pictures. If everything looks good take the heat sink off and look under the hood and see if there is anything missing broken out of place. If there fix it or post pictures. Maybe we can help. If not clean old thermal paste and apply new. Clean off heat sink and put it back together. Carfuly not smearing the paste every where. Out the card back in making sure everything is where it should be and test again. Let me know how it goes.

It sounds like you have a ground fault some where. This means something that some that has electricity is touching the heat sink when you turn it on. could be a bolt for the heat sink or a bad chip or something. Did you measure the voltage might help to lead you to the fault. Did this just start happening or did you get the miner from some one else and it was there from the beginning. Look at your fan wires and see if they are cut any where or anything else that might be touching the heat sink. More information would be nice and maybe a picture of the boards.

As requested here is a picture of the capacitor. Let me know if you need any more information.

I have a bad capacitor on my miner. Any one got a 802 sepc 270 16 laying around? I found some online under the model number 16SEPC270M but I dont see the 802 anywhere in the specs so I do not know if I am getting the right one. So figured I would ask around here.

Thanks,

Better coming in at  290.423% than at 372.958% like the last one. We are at the half way mark compared to last month.  Would sure like to hit couple more before tonight but with our luck at 56.62%  I do not foresee that happening. This was the worst month out of the last 4. Was really hoping to make enough for another s3 but maybe next month.:/

Could some one explain the difference from P2P node mining and stratum  pool mining? If there a difference?

Does my Latency matter where I mine? Lets say my current pool gives me a ping of 100ms but a node closer to me gives me a ping of 25 ms should I which to node mining? Does it even really matter?

If my pool is having a hard time finding a block what should I do in general. Wait it out or switch to another pool? How long should you wait before switching to another pool?

I only ask because I just don't know these answers and would really like to learn more than just buy hardware and point it here. I have only been mining for a couple of months really but still know very little of the back end of bitcoin mining. Which I want to change. So flame me if you must. But if some one would be willing to take me under their wing per say and teach me that would be awesome!

Thanks in advance for help.

I hear that. I think I made more off my signature campaign  than I did off mining. Makes me want to cry, but at least my signature campaign brought some btc in this week. I had Chicken Alfredo tonight so lets hope that will do something for our luck!

Not trying to take over the thread but I sent you a PM Sobe. Good Luck on your purchase though.


*edited for spelling*

Yea I know we need some short ones to make up for that long one for sure



Lets just hope they keep coming. Hopefully no more reds for the rest of the month. Green only please blocks gods and some one eat more chicken:)

Thats gotta be the oddest thing I have ever seen. Makes my imagination wonder what the chicken looked like before it was cook. But if it helps get this block every one should be baking some chicken tonight.. I had General tso's for dinner.. 

Whelp looks like the month of October is going to be red block month it seems. Come on Green blocks find us again please!

Why would you refused if you have free electricity. Hook a bunch up and run them untill they get you enough for a s3 or s5. I wish some one would give me a bunch of s1 for free LOL I have free power.

It has taken me all most about 150 days to earn a full bitcoin. I really wish I would have learn about bitcoin sooner. I would be so further down the rabbit hole. Do I still have it no. Only because everything I have earned I have put back into earning more.

I started out with faucets and signature camps, and bought my first s1. and with that I  mined and fauceted till I was able get my first s3. Which now has turned into 3 s3's 1 s1 and soon to be a Bitcrane 110T. I still faucet and even made out playing in some HYIP's but so far I am up to about .05 per day as long as my pool hits a block.

So not to bad only starting out with faucets and not spending a penny of my own money, I gotta say.

It is working just fine over here. Logged in and played a couple of rounds. lost my faucet but speed seems ok with very little lagg. Have you tried a different browser?
