3801  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Miners Won't Work After Installing New Router? on: December 06, 2015, 04:01:17 AM
Oh, and "use these DNS servers" was unchecked, so I guess it was likely using ones automatically? ISP? I changed it to use the ones you supplied. I'll report back if anything changes.

DNS servers should not really effect it.  And ISP for sure wont your miners really are not set by isp but by you or dhcp.

If you know old networking you can set a computer to a static IPV4 address different then miner uses.   Turn off IPV6 during it.  And you should be able to connect from computer to miner just connect with cable.  Again you need to know old network settings used such as gateway, and such.

That being said some ISP routers really suck.  After I got one it blocked at the time a rental site I was using with asics, and also my security system.  Even if all firewall and all rules off on router it blocked it from outside.   I  got them to turn it into "bridged mode" where not that thing just passes internet through and bought a netgear blackhawk which I love to be my Router.

But that is just my feelings on some ISP routers.  It should not be stopping you from seeing other miners.   But if you look at the internet on computer static IP on IPV4 I think you will figure out how to connect to miners assuming you know old network info.

Really great idea.   I guess it covers more then coins this way.   But love having a collectible area.

I had to go read meta after looking at goods thread that is a lot of moved collectibles.

China is awake and were at 395 on price.  So close to the 400 I want to see.

Maybe later ... I hope.  Still nice to see 395 even.

I would highly recommend Oregonminers. Tom @ Oregon sent me a complimentary USB to miner cable after seeing my post here, even though I bought the miner from a different seller, which didn't include the cable with RPi kit. I wasn't able to run the miner for 3 days after receipt until I got the cable from Oregonminers. I believe they sell it directly by phone or pm.

I remember that it was also Thanksgiving weekend when they did that.  I have not dealt with them but I thought that sounded pretty darn nice of him.

He was doing a good dead for sure.   Like seeing resellers more like that.

Looks like LordPaco and them worked up a business arrangement:


Nicely done on spotting the place.  Sure enough in the corner exact same power and looks the same overall. 

I wish I knew what a operation like that is getting their KW at on price.  That is the bad thing about bitcoin and private owners is there is a lot you just will not ever know.  Although I'm sure some see that as a advantage and it could be in some points.

$55 is a damn good rate per kW demand each month to host.  Very hard to beat that.

That is what I'm thinking to.  And if they are making money at that rate... dang they got something good going.

As that rate looks pretty attractive I have to admit.

3807  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BITMAIN AntMiner APW3-12-1600 PSU Series on: December 05, 2015, 11:44:57 PM
There's a Vadj pot at the bottom. The max output voltage is around 12.6V. Need to remove the screws holding the PCB to get access to it.

Nice job on spotting that.  Interesting that they have it hidden in there.   I do like that it's there.

They have made it pretty much the best out there for the S7  with those 10 PCIe cables needed.  Nice to see a little secret to their PSU.   It's not a bad PSU at all if you have 220/240.

Coinbase is at high 380's it's kinda fighting to get up to 390's.  Hopefully it makes it.  Guess we will see.

But it's a good day as far as price. Hopefully China wakes up and decides it's worth more.  But guess we will see.
3809  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Review] Avalon 6 Miner - Winter Mining - Notlist3d - Also FAQ and Help on: December 05, 2015, 11:25:47 PM
So what are the chances of Bitmain or Avalon lowering their prices of these miners anytime soon?

Hard to say BTC is headed up again 389 right now.  It's hard to go to them on a price decrease when BTC is rising like it is.   We will see what happens on difficulty over next few periods.  It's kinda those two things that effect the price as much as anything.

I mined at 230 for a long time and was profitable so I'm pretty darn happy right now as far as price per BTC.

If you are in North America what is the current price for these Avalon's? $1500 + Shipping ?

they sold out at ehash




they are 1449 at zoomhash plus shipping plus a rasp pi
http://zoomhash.com/collections/bitcoin-asics/products/avalon-6-3-65-ths-shipping-from-stock-in-us



they are 13900 for a ten pack at block-c
http://www.blockc.co/collections/bitcoin-miners-shop-avalon-blockc-co

If your in china I would email them still at Ehash.   And I could be wrong but I think website might be a little off it shows even adapters as sold out, which I don't think they ran out.   But if China that is best not sure MOQ with not having stock on site, but does not hurt to ask.

For most of the world it's BlockC and MOQ is 10.  So a groupbuy might be cheapest way as far as most people.

But there are re-sellers zoomhash as Phil mentioned.   OregonMines.com sold a few to a person or two in the thread.  Any other resellers other Avalon6 users are using and have successfully bought one or more at?
Scott at holybitcoin.com has them listed ( I know it's the wrong pic but he is a reliable reseller), and I am sure you can contact him if you have any questions.  He carries some of sidehacks compacs and had the 4.1 a few months back as well.

He's a tad high on it might by why we have not seen people mention buying from him.  I don't like how he put regular price at "1,999.97 " and acts like "1,599.97" is a price cut.   He could be good but that makes it where I would go elsewhere.
3811  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Nov 11 to Dec 11 SIDEHACK compac stick pool club. New run. on: December 05, 2015, 10:02:01 PM
Can I add a couple of R-boxes to the pool?  Would only be around 65 Gh/s but every bit could help!  

Let me know


you do not seem to be on the list as a stick miner.

so for now the answer would be no.-- I could have missed something.

I may be missing you on list so let me look a bit more.

we now have a full list of 40 stick miners and a few as waiting room.

please let me review the waiting list and mining list.

waiting list:


wiefever
notabeliever
AJRGale
munky666
Searing


Kinda the point is that all have at least one stick as the cloud kinda is a fun social way  to support sidehack and his projects.   If your wanting to do this and do not have a compac I suggest going to his group buy thread soon, as I'm not sure how many are left for sale.

And a lot of us are looking forward to his pods next.  Still not a lot of info on those yet.

I came across the forum by accident and wanted to try some mining (Newbie), read a lot of threads on here to get familiarized with the basics and decided to buy 4x Gekko Compac's. I got them today and am having a great time trying to get them setup. I have three of them working but only on my win 8.1 Laptop with cgminer - gekko  version. I have a Rpi and just cant figure this one out yet but I will eventually.

Anyway, better get back to it - lots of learning / reading needed.

Later All
Garpsky

What part of RPI have you been having trouble with using compacs?  Have you looked in support thread its got some good info.

I use a RPI and switched to RPI2 just for fun and it works great.  I have not had any issues and it's nice to run it vs a full pc.
3814  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How earn Bitcoins fast and free?? on: December 05, 2015, 08:43:02 PM
its impossible to earn a lot of bitcoins fast and free though you can try faucets

Save yourself some time and don't waste your time.  Faucets just don't pay enough.  My saying is pay cents for hours of work.  Which is very sad.

Remember BTC even though digital is a form of money.  You need to do something to earn money digital or not. The best is signature campaigns if you use them right.


3815  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Review] Avalon 6 Miner - Winter Mining - Notlist3d - Also FAQ and Help on: December 05, 2015, 08:36:52 PM
Looking forward to the extensive review especially in Dual miner mode with same controller.  How many miners do you have in your Mining area?  Thanks for letting me know about the Avalon 6 needing each own PCI-E cable instead of sharing the dual connector.  I got the issue sorted with the Ebay seller, he's going to send me a better power supply cable and 1 more PCI-E cable.  I will just use this used EVGA G2 power supply for the Ant Miner.  The new Avalon will get a new EVGA G2 power supply so I can have better peace of mind.

Not a problem!  I'm glad to hear seller is making it right.  I did use a EVGA 1300 again it works very well at staying pretty steady at 12 volts input.  So far they did a great job just like the 4.1's it was plug and play.   I did not have to do any configuration just plug it in.  I went ahead and used USB to both, but I could have ran power to the shelf and did the chain.  

But so far working great no issues adding one to make it two mining.  As far as my miner area I have 100 amp just for it.  It was made for more a work area but I repurposed it into area for mining. Currently have around 8K watts but I'm adding more slowly.  I did have a good amount more... but I sold during 230 day's of BTC as I was not making enough but now wish I would have kept them.  I got rid of my A1's a 1T dragon, and 1.5T dragon.  And then 3 S4's also got sold.  

They all went to lower priced electricity miners.   I sell my miners at end of life for me and it really does help with extra ROI.  I do plan on using these Avalon 6's for a long while.  I still have my 4.1's running great to.
3816  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Placing machines outside on cold winter? -20 on: December 05, 2015, 08:21:30 PM
Hey why would you want to put it outside ?  Use it to heat your house, voila, problem solved ?  If noise is a problem, there are ways to deal with that.

I think it is noise for a lot of people.  There are some miners that just run hot and loud.  Running hot is not a bad thing in winter.

But I think it's the noise of some of them that is the issue.  Could also be they have a outlet outside on a different breaker.  Maybe overloading one rooms breaker with miners and other items.

But I agree outside is not a good solution.

I am thinking the guys above are closest

 https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty (+8.19%)

we have 209 blocks left   and we are pushing for over 160 today based on

https://blockchain.info/blocks

122 blocks in 17 hours 20 minutes rather then  104 so 18 over for the day  which is a 160-165 pace.

 so we are drifting towards 9 not 8

coinbase is at 377

Were approaching my short term hope.  I'm hoping within a few months (hopefully much sooner) we see BTC over 400. I kinda like the slow and steady moving it makes me feel like the floor wont just drop.  But I know it still could.

This was a interesting one I though for sure we were over 10.  But looks like a little better, I'm still not sure if I will consider close to 8 a win.  I want to see next period go to even less... hopefully.
3818  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Where's the catch with this? on: December 05, 2015, 08:07:44 PM
If you were buying this much chances are you would want hardware and buy new.  With a order that big it's likely there is a discount as they can make less per since big amount.  It does take bulk to get discount on most but for most 75k would do it I think. (Two I'm not sure is Bitfury might take more for them to even sell to you, and SP50 once release I expect to be quite high and bulk buyers).

But you would want either your own hosting center (which is hard to start) or go with someone else already doing it which with that amount again chances are hosting will give you a discount with 200T worth of gear.

I was talking with an IBM employee today about data center costs. It would be roughly $1,000 per sq ft to do a raised floor data center. So if you by chance have some capital. That's a rough estimate.

They would be a completely different type of data center.  Your talking about server farms where AC is what's cooling them down.

Asic data centers are massivly different in cooling.  They just have a lot more heat exhaust with so many watt's being used.  Some do fan's and try pumping new air in and old air out with shear force of CFM's.   Whall best chances are the environments that allow evaporation cooling (does not work in all places).  So it really is too completely different things.
I completely forgot about the heat output on ASICs. Servers run like 10 to 30 C less than ASICs.
Anyways having a 50 to 80 C chip could be bad if you are thinking long term. If anything burns out you either want to consider replacing, or just hashing at a lower speed.

Yea they tend to spend more on electric power and cooling on asic farm.  Regular server farm can be very expensive though to.  Server farms a lot have to have a hot or cold disaster recovery site... so two sites for most important things.   And the fire suppression in some of these buildings is just amazing.  Asic fire supression... not so much.

So IBM I would say focuses more on quality of service, as the industry is pointed at this.   Some asic farms are very very simple as far as info-structure.  There are a few that are pretty amazing though to that they spent a ton on with asics but for most part I think asic farms remain simpler to keep costs low.

Got to add part two to miner review I have been wanting to do. It is dealing with running multiple Avalon 6 Miners.   So far both are working very good, but I still will run them and test them over time.

I did move them to my mining area.   With dealing with 2 miners it just made it much easier then in my bedroom.
3820  Other / Meta / Re: Public list of yobit spammers(this one's gonna be long boys) on: December 05, 2015, 04:33:46 PM
Great list. Just a question staff, do you guys judge harsher against people with signatures than people without? I've been watching a few people who have been posting frequently without a signature, but as soon as they applied the signature, they haven't posted since... Banned, maybe?

Yes they judge people wearing signatures differently than people not wearing them. Although some of them say everyone will be judged by the same rules in the end it's not really true.

It is fair though to judge at a different level.  One could say someone with a sig has a financial gain for having more posts, so there is a reason for posting.  And sadly a lot of the newbie ones (like yobit) seem to bring out a lot of spammers for a little pay.  It's not we think it's happening it's face look at this thread of spammers.

When you wear a sig make sure to not do one liners or usless offtopic over and over.  And it's fair I acccept my posts are judged harder as I wear a sig.  If you want to post "+1", "I agree", etc do not wear a sig it's simple.
