Also, I'd have to verify with Novak but it's possible the cgminer-gekko does not recognize bitshopper sticks. BFG has no problem with them. Stock cgminer should work them as U3 just the same as a Gekkoscience stick, pretty sure.
I have not tried the EU one on cgminer-gekko. I treated it as a collectors since I only have one of the design. I have it, the reviewer, and pre-production all running in stock current cgminer as u3 (icarus). Have no issues with it. On the one's I got from sidehack i have them running cgminer-gekko and OC'ed. But have not tried EU one on the cgminer-gekko. |

I am not sure the question is not answered by one, but I'll elaborate just so we are clear. If you can find a block with an rPi ZERO then you'll agree the mBTC is covered by that block, or am I missing something here? Then again, I am not sure one rPi ZERO can not mine an mBTC and still be re-useable, be it for tinkering or as an expensive controller, and that in effect being the proof that cpu mining is not dead.
But you are right, you started this thread and you must be correct.
Me starting the thread does not make me god. But it doesn't really matter here, i'm just pointing out; You can't say "To get millions of USD, just go buy a lottery ticket." and its what you're saying here. Every time this would be applied, for nearly everyone, this would be false. Therefore saying a RasPI0 can be used to mine BTC blocks is wrong as well. I think the you are correct the RPI will not be used to mine even as lotto. It needs a secondary miner hooked up to it, you can use U3's, Compac's, etc. But a RPI alone is not enough CPU/GPU combo to really mine alone. Although I would love for someone to prove me wrong and do a mining unit with 4 in a stack: http://www.amazon.com/Qunqi-Acrylic-4-layer-Enclosure-Raspberry/dp/B013SSA3HA . I love that case just never have had a use to get a case for multiple working together. Thats really cute, but unless you need to use multiple raspi to control different kind of miners, i dont really see a point. Its not like it ever become a cost-effective solution when it comes to obtaining processing powers. They are just amazing because when you do not need much processing power, the individual cost of your computer become extremely cheap. Now from 5$, to 20-40$ for a deluxe one. It's not cost effective. I thought kinda the same way that it's a really neat design. I would love to have a use for a stack... but for most part my RPI's do a lot with just one I don't run multiple unless needed. And I keep one or more in project pile. I have a few RPI projects I just have not gotten to yet. I have 0 need for a RPI zero... but I still want one to play with. I just can't justify overpaying when I have other projects I could be doing already. |

But then only get power during sun.
You produce at day and sell to electric company. When You consume at night, you bought from electric company. No batteries need. But you would need around double the panels correct? So you save on battery but spend more on panels. Have you done any math to see cost of this? I still think it would be pretty high specifically if you are producing enough to sell to power company normally that is not a tiny amount. panels last a real long time. As of today all batteries die too fast. So mixed use with your power company is best in most USA states. A panel working for 15-20 years A battery working for 3-5 years. So larger in house systems don't do battery they mix with power company. What is ROI time on whole system except batteries. Seems like with panel's and wiring new box, etc. Still a lot of costs. Are we still talking 10+ years before ROI? Just in most I have seen it's a pretty long term bet. And it truly is really hard to beat low electricity price. I think even without batteries the cheap electricity likely wins over time. |

I would not use the Antminer s7 out there on Hashnest :/ Ive tried them again and invested half a BTC. After several Days is simply lost more than i mined over the market price change. Now iam in in Miningsweden with some VIP packages of the Antminer s7  I think this is quit nice regards lama-hunter The upside to this is the coins you mine are worth more (assuming value stays, which hopefully it does). But there is up and down side. This is part of the reason I try to get people to not put all eggs in one basket, unless just totally sure. I at times did go all in on mining equipment. But at a point I started to do both. I like both personally. I keep some in mining gear some in cold wallets... so either way I feel pretty good. |

this guy has done this more then once. I don't understand the rules and why he thinks overpaying at .0076 vs .0066 and for 10ph this is a lot of coin. maybe someone could explain why it is worth it for him to overpay. or if he is just a nut job pissing away money? I think it's likely someone who thinks they know what they are doing but has no idea. I am willing to be he has a spreadsheet or something where he added up and thinks profit... but eventually he will realize hes losing unless he's is a nut like you mentioned and does not monitor BTC. Not to often do you see people send hash there on rentals. I had not been monitoring nicehash looks like up at 7% , was under for the longest time. Is nicehash starting to stay above 100 percent again? |

Woops, i copy pasted ezminer's line and intended to change the name AND the number. I got distracted and forgot to change the number by .1. Attention deficit for the win? xD +7.8 = VirosaGITS If you please. No problem at all. You have been added to list with picked number. It is about 2 posts above. |

I have had more then usual but it makes sense. On one it was a moderator I reported someone bumping a old thread for sig spam. I had posted in thread to person to let it die and how they did not read OP.... but mod deleted their post which renders my post usless. So I see the reasoning. One was deleted by self moderated thread. It appears he deleted whole thread as he wanted most likely did not want to pay out - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1165675.msg12277071#msg12277071 . For the record I talked to him on skype and did not think he was a serious business person by questions so I did not take on helping him. I'm guessing someone did and never got paid. Second one deleted in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1165675.0 . Again I said he needed to know more before going deeper in business plan. So I had 3 in a row which is huge for me as I try to make my posts helpful and don't spam. But I did get those three in a row. As others said look and there is multiple ways to see by who. |

Please. Stop spamming the forum. I've seen your name enough times authoring so many shitposts to last me a lifetime.
There really shouldn't, because done people actually contribute to the forum, instead of spam it. I just guess we'll have to live with spammers.
Koff koff
I guess spam means "posting a lot" to you. With that being said, maybe a post restriction is your best bet. Either way, I am placing you on ignore for the rudeness. Well generally when you talk about spam here means someone who posts a lot of non constructive posts. What tarsua said it's a pretty valid point too. Site owners will often post a lot in the same thread to communicate with their users. If I do recall correctly, the meaning of constructive from the English language is doing actions that can help people. In this case I am creating a way to possibly stop people who post a lot. In the OP, I quoted somebody that didn't appreciate somebody posting a lot. So, I came up with the idea of a post restriction. I would say that is me being constructive. Unfortunately, your idea of constructive and my idea of it would be different. That doesn't mean that I deserve to be insulted. Insulting people would be trolling them, which I do not condone. If you don't appreciate my posts, it doesn't make sense to continue reading them, which means they only click on them to upset me. With that being said, I have placed those people on ignore. The board is not your parent. Should it stop after X post... no as some are very active and do have useful posts. It has things to prevent just pure spam such as posting limits with time in between. This is something good as chances are after a few you are reported and deleted. Do I wish the board would stop you from posting in huge bold font? Yes I do... but they leave it open in case there is a good use of it. FYI your using to big of font, and bold on post's that don't need it. |

Their site is back up, looks like the prices stayed the same. By pegging the price to bitcoin I don't think they will do much adjusting anytime soon. Either you want one in a month for 4.7BTC or you don't. I don't think there will be a batch 9 or price adjustment announced anytime soon. Not till January.
Interesting that they kept the same price. I like being wrong in this case. This one does not ship till: Batch 8 scheduled shipping date is in Dec. 18~Dec. 28. If shipping out 5 days later than the scheduled one, it won't be considered as delay. So they really could use this batch for a while and not lower price. If price goes up sales should go up to, so they chances are don't need to lower or change unless they finnaly change price (higher or lower) or need to change specs. They have changed specs a crazy amount of times. |

+7.7 = ezeminer
This time i'll go with;
+7.7 = VirosaGITS
I am pretty sure the Diff will go under what its estimated at right now, but i don't know by how much, seeing how well the BTC price is doing.
Just Saying  Thanks for spotting already! VirosaGITS please let us know what you second pick is as it was already taken. Below is current as of posting: +6 = Last of the V8s (member registered March 15) +6.6 = Tmdz (Jr Member - registered October 21) +7.7 = ezeminer +7.8 = VirosaGITS +8.3 = The Young Turk +8.5 = valkir +8.6 = Herbpean +8.8 = tss +9.2 = edonkey +9.3 = Lituation +9.4 = UfoRia (member registered September 22) +9.8 = vortexz +10.0 = Tupsu +10.1 = zebedee +10.4 = adaseb +11 = mavericklm +11.2 = dukeneptun +12.3 = EternalWingsofGod +10.2 = cakir +10.6 = DanDan +10.8 = ingiltere +11 = Quickseller +11.4 = artibg (member resistered December 03, 2013) |

I had zero freeze/zombie issues and a "set it and forget it" mentality with this config:
RasPi 2 (with freeze watchdog enabled)
MinerA (with auto reboot set when miner stops hashing)
One U3 would be solid hashing then die randomly; and within 5 min it resets itself and bam. back hashing.
I didn't rely on the solid red LED up front because sometimes when it went zombie or simply went to a zero hashrate; the red LED was still lit solid....
Mine was pretty accurate with the red light. But this could be due to using windows I was on a windows machine with them just as I had it on. So not sure how much that effected it. I went from it to the R1 from crazyguy. Mine has the LED on even when the PC is in sleep mode. I can say I did not try it during sleep. Why would you not have sleep mode off with a computer mining? I had sleep off as PC was on always. It is actually a PC I mainly use for teamviewer. But it allows me to use it as a controller if needed as always one. |

So......................bitcoin price is up, which makes the batch 8 (maybe the final form of the s7) quite expensive. over 1700usd. any regrets not ordering ? I got one at around 1500usd. In any case bitmaintech site is down. Hopefully they will start shipping batch 8 in advance like batch 7.
When the site goes down, a lot of times this means they are editing and/or adding something new. We'll see... Wooohooo! I am excited....What could it possibly Be? It could possibly be a raise in price... it was pulled down I think early work day in China. Which indicates the China team is doing it. But with BTC at 370... chances are they raised prices of machines. We will know in a few hours most likely I hope I'm wrong but I doubt I am. |

thanks for letting me join
i still got some problems to get the EU-Gekkos to run on my RPi - at least the work on Windows 10 but that was not the way i wanted to take
What troubles are you having with the EU-Gekkos? I have one mixed in with my US ones and it seems to be working fine. I'm using a RPI with raspberian. Most will be running it as a compac. I put mine as an icarus as I'm running it and the reviewer, and prototype at lower speeds. I treat them as collectibles. It's the US versions I really have been pushing hard with the cgminer-compac. And it seems to work pretty good. |

+9.3 = Lituation
It's quite possible to see less than 10 percent but still high numbers in difficulty. Bitcoin price is rising to over 370 dollars right now, that would be a game changer.
Both of the above have been added to chart of picks on previous page. But you are right coinbase has us just a tad over 370 which is a decent jump. With difficulty going up like this I was hoping to see this happen but it's not a sure thing. My biggest hope is within the next few weeks we break the 400 barrier. I really would like to see it go above there again. |

Hello and welcome to the forum and to the Bitcoin world! I suggest you to read, learn and research this amazing technology until you don't understand it enough!
As for the earnings, there are no too many places at the moment. There are signature campaigns, but for this you need a decent full member profile. Faucets are waste of time for example! Try to offer goods or services online for payment in Bitcoin! Be creative!
Cloudmining is a waste of time as well!
Good luck!
You cannot classify all cloud mining as a waste. There are a few good one's out there. But cloud or hardware there is no guarantee of ROI. Most do it as they enjoy it. Did you log into Bit-X much? You do notice it has hash confirmed with bitfury and is a "Ghash Exchange"... which is cloud mining. If you feel that way about all cloud mining you might think about switching signature campaigns. |

gotta love the lego  nice small rig btw ... even if its for playing only What you mean those are not the miners?  . Lego's really are great for all ages though. I know I went for a bit with a lego case on my RPI. Eventually I just got a cheap case to put it in, but as kinda fun to have the mini figures on top. |

From what you have said am I right in thinking that it is not correct that the "chip needs to run at 75C for optimal efficiency" but more that 75c is the Max temperature?
Rich
For safty, we test it under ~ 85C, okey for some days. But ~90C is not good. For performance, we find ~65-70C maybe better for both performance and efficiency. ng Sorry to be a pain but can I seek further clarification. Understand about not wanting 85-90C but are you saying that the chips are better at 65-70C than they would be at say 45-50C ? Rich That is what he put. If it's long term... not sure. He has put they are working on optimizing on certain things I would guess this is in it as looking for best performance and efficiency. I don't think you going to get all the answers you want today, but it's good to see we have a dev reading up. Likely the key to alot including best operation speed and running temperature are in the "smart speed". Which is still pretty new and were still learning about, and it sounds like it's still being optimized. |
