This mechanic of charging at S5 prices while running S7 or something unknown is also probably applicable to most hashrate on hashnest. Milk users at 97% of Revenue/Cost while in actuality they're running some other(more efficient) hardware while the obsolete hardware are boxed in storage somewhere. Pretty smart.

Where did that guy live? In a gave for 1 year?
I'm not sure how you can have missed the train wreck that started in 2014.

How to mine ultracoin with this cpu miner, please?
Can someone paste cmd line. It is scrhypt-jane algo. Thank you.
Launch it through cmd.exe, start cmd first, or add a pause at the end. @pause i think it is? |

Really? That's pretty disappointing. Only some perif cables are 18awg on the EVGAs i have. Rest is all 16AWG. Goes without saying they remain cold to the touch.

Can a single pcie 18awg be used to power a single dashboard?  Yes, if the connectors arent crap and the pins properly connect to each other, basically plug it in and touch the connectors a bit later, if they're burning hot then they're no good. If its cold or lukewarm after sustained load there should be no problem. You should be able to put both plugs on one board and it should split the load on the connectors just fine. |

I only know of fusion power in experimental stages, but would be interested to see if someone had a viable over-unity fusion power generation process even in limited deployment. Also on the subject of fusion having nothing to do with bombs... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_BombaAlso on the subject of the Antminer S9... actually wait I have nothing to contribute there. But Bitmain's apparently working on a full-custom 16nm chip we'll probably see on it. Yes... the power we can harvest from fusion is incredible. If we start using top end ICBM against each other, there will not be much left of current civilization. But anyways. In controlled environment to harvest energy, we're at a stage where we get more energy than we put in (to do the fusion). I think the numbers were 500Mw in for 2000Mw out in a fusion reactor that is being built in Europe by 2020. |

This thread is a trap designed to make people angry.
the op has done many others.
A new poster puts in a post on nuking Japan and I feel this is an attempt to get us to fight on this thread.
I stated that nuclear fusion which has nothing to do with nuclear fission and bombs. We dont have viable nuclear fusion technology yet. And i replied that's inaccurate  A fission detonator is used to ignite fusion fuel. Its viable nuclear fusion. Its also possibly a bomb. Maybe you are referring to "Cold Fusion", however "viable nuclear fusion" are very much viable and very much in existence and very much in use. The fusion power plants are very green and much safer. Even tho a possible meltdown is still a possible meltdown. There aren't many yet (was mostly small one as PoC at first), as its fairly new, (few years), and there are some industrial grade one under construction right now.  Ok, show me one commercial grade nuclear fusion power plant. I can show you hundreds of nuclear fission power plants. Sure, you can start here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power first "commercial" reactor is in 2014. Which is the only one i need to prove your fallacy. But regardless, nuclear fusion isin't new so this is a moot point. Even though as a commercial element this is very new, nuclear fusion it itself is not that new.  |

Another ckdb restart - again as usual no miners are expected to be affected since ckpool isn't/wasn't restarted.
Anyone wondering about how long it takes, at the moment to load the entire history of the pool and then do a catch up on the last hour or two back to the state it was when I stopped ckdb, and then rolling forward to the current point in time, takes about 13 minutes.
This change fixes the block stats "Age" field (and renames it "Time")
The field states how long it took to find the number of blocks so e.g. the last 5 blocks includes the time it took to find the 5th one and not the time since the last one was found (the time since the last block is in the page header of course)
I also added a red line on the shift page showing the start of the last payout.
Thus below that line shifts can not get any more rewards.
Some of the trailing shifts above the red line also will not get rewards as time since the last block increases, but none below can.
Restart completed and block found Hmmmm maybe you should restart* more often? |

I get that lua error when i mess up with cgminer launch config parameters. To fix it i had no choice but to revert to default. But then i solved the inherent problem by changing firmware. i just upgraded firmware to latest one, it had some custom, i don't remeber now wich one.  Did that solve it? Because it probably kept the same config files, which you will have to restore to default. If you have a S3 that work, copy paste that config. Or ask for someone here to pastebin it for you. |

you don't understand why a builder with 10% of the hash loses money by expanding to 15% of the hash you think he makes more money if he does that.
the problem is 4-6 guys all have 10 to 15% of the hash each. they all can build bp and then the other 4-6 guys match them.
So what hey have been doing is swapping gear with out really expand hash by a ton.
they have s-3's at .75watts they have s-5s at .50watts now they have s-7s at .25watts
so they ⅓ their power so many think they will 3x their hash . if the top 6 builders all do this they all gain nothing and they spent money to make the gear.
so they try to ⅓ their power and 1.5x or 1.2x their hash.
if the top 6 builders do this. they keep the same share of the network and they spend less on power.
This is what has stopped the crazy growth the last year.
unless your gear is god like say .01 watts a gh and really cheap to build expansion of hash matching your efficiency gain is a loser economically.
so s-5 at .5 and s-7 at .25 for example does not pay to 2x the hash power
if the other builders can match you. but if antminer ½ the power and 1.25x the hash and are matched by the other builders antminer makes more money.
this is very simple math.
I believe there are several errors in your analysis. You have assumed everyone pays a similar amount for their miners, has similar costs and does not try to drive others out of business. 1) Not all miners pay the same for their miners. The mining hardware with the highest efficiency is not likely to be sold to the public. It is more economic for the manufacturer to keep it to themselves and mine themselves. This is what KNC and Bitfury do. They manufacture their own cheap hardware and do not sell to to the public. It is in their interest to increase their hash rate as it increases their profits. 2) For similar reasons miners in areas with the cheapest electricity will try to maximize their hash rates. Anyone who pays more than about $0.05 per kWh is likely to be ultimately driven out of the mining business. 3) Finally you have assumed people would co-operate if they all had the same costs. But people are not always that rational in an unregulated market. See the Tragedy of the Commons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commonsThe entire mining game is a zero sum game. There is only a fixed amount of money available from Bitcoin mining. The best way to maximize your profits is to not share your competitive advantage and to keep your costs below your competitors. Ideally you would like most of your competitors to give up and leave the market. So I expect the battle between the miners to continue and the hash rate to continue to increase for some time yet. I think there is a flaw in your counter analysis, because in reality, if a side push for tripling their hash, the other sides will keep the pace and in the end they all undermined themselves. And this is not speaking of the production limitations that simply cannot be overcomed in such a small time span. So no, we won't see 1000PH in a few months. It's not that easy to produce 2 billions chip at the technological edge. The more you try to get in a small time span, the higher to production cost. Exponentially. |

I hope not. 1k PH would be insane growth. I can't imagine it happening at all.
If it happened it would really suck because i very much doubt BTC would go up to 500$.

LTC rewarded dropped in half and price didnt go down. Diff plummeted but somehow its skyrocketing again. I really wonder what's up with that. Profitability is down the drain, i'm not sure why there's so much hash on the network.
I get there's some very efficient SCRYPT ASICs but err...
Cheap Chinese power is keeping miners going. Yeah sure but i doubt 95% of scrypt mining power is in China. Then again maybe its all running on super efficient FPGPA or something. |

how can i be assured that the miner is sent after purchasing?
Will give you a tracking link in the next 24 business hours. You can also use escrow, in this case OgNasty is accepted at your cost. |

An IP is not a person. NSA knows the entrance to internet, but they dont know who uses this entrance.
Now if only they didn't have easy access to who own what ip, then i'm sure that'd make me feel safer. But sadly i don't know of many ISP that you connect to that doesn't have Your name, your address, your bank account #, etc. |

What kind of cooling would we need to keep a stick at 250mhz? xD A small fan will do. I've always been a fan (hah.) of the Arctic Breeze Mobile [arctic.ac] - a USB-powered fan on a flexible neck for easy positioning with plenty of air movement and relatively quiet. Though at 250, it's really not getting all that hot and even more silent options are available. As long as you keep the hot air moving off of the heat sink, there's not that much difference between a gentle breeze and a hurricane. Very nice then. I got 2 of those exact artic usb fan as a bonus for buying some hardware from a user here. I'm guessing its not exactly efficient to run one for one usb stick but hey whatever. Lottery ticket man! |

I agree that Bitmain seems to be making it more difficult to undervolt than they could.
Side effect of their "keep it cheap" string design, doesn't seem to be deliberate. The old "pencil mod" was about changing an on-board regulator that doesn't exist on their current designs - and was STILL far inferior to Spondoolies methodology. Seem pretty deliberate to me when the hardware design support voltage control but the option get locked in newer firmware, even though if you dig enough you can unlock it again. |

So about 5% huh? I really hope we don't keep that pace, or do wish that the BTC price keep up.
Then again i should knock on wood, its not like its double digit stuff...
