i think your dream to earn  bitcoins
without spending money or bitcoins
is not so good .
since there are some sites like freebitco.in that gives free bitcoins per hour to visit & enter capatcha . but the amout of btc that paid by these type of site is very very less to 1BTC .
To earn btc you should have invest some btc .
Duh... no freaking sites will give you 1btc for free Huh So it give under 1btc is normal actually. And you dont have to invest just join a signature campaign or a captcha team or even sell your services. If you are good at trading you can try to invest some to trade.

Keep in mind BTC is money.  Some think it's digital... so it can be free.  But look at current price of BTC 322 each.  So if you earned 1 per day that is 365 days.  So take 322 X 365 = 117k per year....

There is just NO way to get a 6 figure income for free each year.  It will not happen.  You can do things to earn some free coins signature campaign is the best but don't expect 6 figure income out of it.

Blockchain.info is the best online wallet. Try it, set a 2FA and you will not have any problem to enter in your account, and at the same time there isn't any risk about some thief.

2FA makes it harder to take your coins yes.  But it in no way with a hotwallet makes it where there is no risk to being taken by a thief.

How much have you researched into this?  Just a lot of the statement is flat out wrong.  A hot wallet (what blockchain is) always has a possible threat that is not near as safe as cold wallets.

A paper wallet done right beats your online wallet every single time as far as safty.

how about trading bitcoin and take 1% profit everday ?
i think if we can do it everyday we can get 30% /month  Roll Eyes

at this time i see more website give analys

Easier said then done by far.  What are you trading BTC into to get this 1 percent profit?   How do you know it's repeatable and reliable?

It sounds good in theory.  But there just is no magic investment to gain quick cash.  Anyone that promises 1 percent profit per day I would need to see lots of proof before I ever believe it.

Just buy LED lights online, they last super long and should be immune to this. They are around 4$ a bulb, $3.50 online with free shipping.

I suggested the same thing.  I think try one and see how it goes.  The LED use a very very small amount of electricity.  I don't see them being killed, but I would start with one just in case.

And if your electricity does kill a LED bulb honestly I would get a electrician.  It is not normal to kill lightbulbs with only pulling 1k watts on same circuit.  So having him/her look at the wiring and circuit breaker might be good if you do kill a LED.

Are u guys retarder Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy LOL
This is the stupidest setup I've seen in a while Tongue

It's actually very clean as far as a GPU setup.  I like the look of it.  Only part is it does  appear to be a little expensive on some of the special cases and such used.

It's nice in my eyes to see these sometimes.  Brings me back to a earlier day Smiley before asics.

Follow up on under volt. The gear will run as low as 9.6 volts .

The problem is smart speed it comes enabled so  no matter what you set volts at smart speed  lowers the hash rate to make no hardware errors.

Some one with good ssh skills will need to get in and figure out how to turn off smart speed.


the gear does over clock if you set your psu to 13 volts it does over 4000gh


Yes it's a bit odd from the numbers I have seen posted it responds more like a Miner does when you just turn the frequency down and leave the volts unchanged, giving a constant J/GH. Make me feel that the algorithm continually turns the frequency down further than it needs to?


Rich

I have not gotten to play with the undervolting and overvolting.  But as far as just changing frequency it does stay pretty darn close to their J/GH advertised rate.  I did a little test and have it in second post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1257327.msg13028512#msg13028512

As far as just changing freq it seems only reason so far for a freq only adjustment would be if you wanted to run with a lower power PSU.  For most I doubt they do this though as we like to get as much as possible, unless there is a good underclock.

Thanks for sharing!  What does watts used look like when hitting 4000 GH, that is a decent OC from 3.5.

That is a 14 percent overclock.  So better then a lot of machines as far as OC with your nice PSU.

i was really wondering if these are the sorts of things that can be programmed eventually to do other algos - like x11 ...

ASIC = Application-Specific Integrated Circuit. the silicon is built for once purpose, SHA256D.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_integrated_circuit

there is no available asic for x11 to what I know. If I recall correctly, there was a little hack to make Scrypt ASIC do some of the calculation of x11, I could be wrong, never looked it to the idea, it was just one of them things passing me in the forums here..
No I think the idea was a hack to allow an asic to do an scrypt N but you would have to be able to change the N variable in the end I don't believe anything happened.

This was a big one a while back multiple miners that turned out to be vaporware claimed to be working on multi scrypt algo asic.   Nothing ever came of it and it's just straight scrypt so far.

If anyone did manage it they did not make it open for public.  But considering how long ago people were saying they were working on it and we heard nothing in a long time I don't think even in secret there is a asic doing N and X11, etc.

Really it comes down to you either buy some S7s now, or wait a moth or two till the next price drop/new model. If your going to buy now, do it. If not, wait.

Or you just pass on mining all together.

"Now pick up your skirt, grab your balls, and lets make some money" "Your gonna pass? The only people I see making money passing are NFL quaterbacks and I don't see a number on your back" -From the movie Boiler Room, one of my favorite.

I view passing as a valid investment strategy as far is someone want's to hold BTC vs say mining.   I don't view valid the people who always say " wait a moth or two till the next price drop/new model", in my eyes a lot of these are just talk.  They always say they are waiting on next gen and never pull the trigger on a sell.

The two current ones are S7 and Avalon 6.   OP should do some ROI math before any investment.  And never invest more then he is able to lose.
4190  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Looking to start Mining on: November 24, 2015, 04:43:58 PM
What mining power do you actually need to profit from mining coins with a lot of difficulty like bitcoin or litecoin?

I suggest starting with Bitcoin.  It just is a little simpler then altcoin in my eyes, and value is more stable with BTC.  So start here.

On ROI it's not as much about how much power you have in mining power, but more the cost of your power.  You need to make a profit to make ROI.  What is your electricity (with taxes and all) divided down?
4191  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Way to build up a savings account... on: November 24, 2015, 04:40:17 PM
Or how about you just exercise a little bit of self control and don't spend the coins Tongue.  Avoids the whole "I printed a paper wallet out and handed to my Auntie who lost it".

I think OP needs to re-evulate the current plan.  The one with aunt holding coins and a big jump in hash at beginning seems to be in wrong direction as far as mining in my eyes.

I think get sold old miners start small.  Try it out see how it goes.   If good then expand, and expand slow.   And I would re-do the wallet and make one your aunt does not hold the private key for.

If you're looking at bitcoinwisdom:

Estimated Next Difficulty:   80,053,971,267 (+10.08%)

and feel terrified... well you should be  Grin but also please keep in mind that bitcoinwisdom seems to be doing a simple 2016-block average for its estimate, so at this time it's including that massive mountain of hashrate from the previous cycle. However if you look at the 504-block average:

6 blocks: 58.7 minutes

It's 1.3/60 = only about 2% above the target 10 minute/block rate.

I like your description much more that is for sure.  Bitwisdom scares the crap out of me if we could do 2 big ones in a row.  With such a big hashrate overall I was betting we would not see big jumps like we did last period.

But I was wrong.  Hopefully it goes down though.

faucet/gambling(thats how I earned 0.4btc in few days just by reciving faucet/ sig campaign

Faucet's are horribly slow were talking cents per hour (less the computer takes to run during it).  How much are you saying you made off faucets?

Gambling is risky... so yes it could have big up's and down's.  Just don't count on it being consistent. Something like signature campaign is much more consistent and normally no loss like gambling.
4194  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best way to earn Bitcoins? on: November 24, 2015, 09:10:18 AM
I recomemded to earn earn btc trade in some altcoins
or if do you like risk, you can try to gambling fast earn btc if you a luck

Well the one way you posted is risky too. I really can't considered trading altcoin to altcoin. Promising coins sucks. I still considered btc to usd and vice versa exchange. Im getting profit here.

Altcoins just have to much pump/dump coins anymore.  It seems that they are mined at launch and sold.. then coin goes away.  Not all but a lot do this.

LTC is the one most liked.  It tends to follow BTC in price in my opinion.   If you go into pretty much any other coin it could be great earnings... or huge loss.
4195  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Looking to start Mining on: November 24, 2015, 09:05:17 AM
there are a bunch of antminers on ebay that are sold with an included power supply you cna buy one of those

otherwise i would go with corsair mostly(fully modular), and maybe cooler master

My experience with cooler master is not really good. But that is related to the merchant i bought it at.

Corsair however are the best i experienced. Very reliable and they honor their warrant. I sent 3 back and they sent me 3 new ones.

yeah usually after corsair it is recommended to buy seasonic, which are even better, they ar enot manufactered by flextronic, like corsair
If your running a large scale farm buying multiple Corsair PSU's will only add more time to your ROI so I prefer the BITMAIN ones.

if they are included why not, i was thinking that you need to by them separately

but keep in mind that corsair psu have a great resell value

I tend to keep all my PSU's.  I ROI on them then keep then after a sell a miner some day.   Then when I get a new miner or miners hopefully I don't have to even buy a new PSU.

Only thing that messed this up is bitmains new 10 PCIE shift on gear makes it much more specialized on what options are.

I printed out the private key and passed to my aunt and partner in Malaysia and then deleted

 Pray they don't lose that key, or NOBODY will ever be able to spend the coins.


Better yet, split the keys in 3 parts and store every part on a seperate location.

It's safer then to count on a relative this way.

Don't forget will she still give you the key if BTC is worth: 4000/USD? Wink

Hopefully they realize that piece of paper is worth REAL money and won't throw it away later thinking its trash when they forget what a bitcoin is.  I would handle your own keys and keep your cold storage somewhere safe, is it that hard to control yourself from spending them :/

You are a brave person giving control of your keys over to someone else, especially family as I know my family with bits of paper it would at some point get thrown out, suppose it depends on how much BTC you're talking about but either way I would like to keep the keys close.

It is crazy to give your paper wallet to someone else.  This defeats the entire purpose of doing the paper wallet.

Is there a reason you gave it to here?  I would suggest security box at bank.  Or heck even a good hiding spot at home compared to giving to other person.

Missing the most important information.

 Price.

If this is another "introduce at $9995" miner design it's not gonna sell worth beans.


Price and where to get it.  I'm guessing it will be a re-seller in us.   

But still great news as far as scrypt I hope it's fair priced as I really want to get back into LTC some more.

The precompiled windows version is there, he just has to click the download link, but I guess I can copy paste it here as well: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/

I never found the precompiled one before.



Many thanks.


I am however announcing that I am selling my U3 (too much hassle for me not being home enough to keep it 100%) to someone on craigslist, supposedly for testing the gridcoin network, and a new coin for a gaming site... they want to be able to test the network and algo =)

Good to know its going to a good use after its leaving me;  and I think my ROI is 125% now that Its being sold.    I have made just about a few bucks in mining with it on altcoins, and selling it for close to what I paid.

So for anyone who said you would never dream of reaching ROI with this miner is sadly mistaken Wink

I still recommend the U3 for people who want a lottery machine, and can get it set up on a controller like the R1 with the modded firmware, or my recommendation of a PI with Raspbian and Minera... its VERY consistent.   With Minera and defaults (normal cgminer fork);  it saw a solid 57Gh average on the graphs.  Minera supports auto miner reboots when zombie, and Pi reboots when freezing (os watchdog setting).  I had zero problems with Minera until I was stupid enough to not configure bitcoin core properly and it filled up the SD card in a heartbeat; instead of storing and using the blockchain that I had on a USB HDD.

I had the best results as well with: --bmsc-voltage 0830  --bmsc-freq 0982


Honestly look into CrazyGuy's R1 with his firmware.  It's what has kept me from going insane with 3 U3's.  The fixing of zombies automatically is great. 

If you don't have it you just have a lot of downtime unless you check it very often..... which is a pain.

As a general rule I don't like to do self moderated threads.  But if you know your doing a topic or discussion that has been trolled in the past self moderated can help.  You can get rid of spam or trolling and not wait on a mod.

I wish it was not needed.  But certain topics will always have trolls no matter what is put into place.

Thank you. Much appreciated break for me.

Not a problem at all! Just let me know if you see anything needing changes. 

And as said above I am helping monitor this thread.  If you want to thank people Phil and suchmoon are the ones that deserve the thanks!
