just had my email re hosting fees.
Anyone here who has had already made a payment advise whether I pay for my 3 miners on a full month or just the days I have mined?
Thanks
you should have a bill and it is prorated .. my bill is 1 miner for 31 days at 7.50 a day or 232.50. did you get your bill? at lee I will send the btc in about 5 hours. |

here is the deal for r-boxes if you use a plat miner they pull 36-38 watts for 32gh. if you use a little dc wall wart they pull 45-48 watts. I have done long term testing of 6 units with this plat psu  I use these cables purchased from cablez note the side mount which lets them run cooler. this a link to cablez. I will next do long term testing of the break out board with 3 of these r-boxes. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74397.0 |

As of today there are 2 solo pools that I know of .
|
|
|

They are now at 80,000 gh or 80 th. One miner is sending 62 th  I am sending 6 r-boxes and some fury sticks at it.  |

Today marks 3 years of Bitminter ! A big thank you to all the current and former users. I appreciate your support. It's been a great 3 years.  It's also nice to see that some who joined during the first few weeks are still mining here. Over these 3 years we've had 271725 users mining with us. But there is room for more, so tell your friends! I came August of 2012 still here. Hope to be here for your 4th - 50th year birthdays. After that I would be pushing 104 years old So I will take up to 50. |

Just an inquiry, another vendor is offering a G-Black unit (which appears to be five GS 'blades' in a self-contained tower), does Zoomhash have any plans to have inventory on these? The price with shipping is really close to just picking up 5 G-blades from here and being able to split them up on pools as I choose, but if you guys will be carrying them... We just updated the next batch of 4 blades here: http://zoomhash.com/products/22mhs-door-to-door-within-5-business-days-guaranteed-no-accessoriesProbably not going to do a tower of 5. that is a great price, while I would love to get more I am waiting for orders 6247 and 6281 So far I don't have any tracking info on them. I have the ability to buy more from you along with the space and power , but I don't want to have 3 outstanding orders. Please hurry with my order numbers 6247 and 6281 so that I would be willing to order again. Thanks |

Just asking, if 500GH/s requires 390W only, then CX750 can handle the OC'ed S3?
I have right now 2 S1´s overclocked to 200 GH/s and 2 CX750M also. And i think that they consume 420 W each one, so if S3 requires just 390 W.... would be great if we can overclock them, we have still 360 W left. I would like to know how much will be that Kit for upgrading S1 to S3... and more important.... will soldering be necessary? S1 upgrade kit will only be available after 1 or 2 months as per the guy visited BitMainTech booth. The price will depend on the exchange rate of BTC that time and the difficulty. Since its BitMainTech we can hope it will be a fair upgrade. Regarding Upgrade Method: Most probably it will be plug and play. They will maximum avoid such soldering things. As per their statement the upgrade hit will be the 2 pcb boards. They said the new heat sink is compatible with S1. So, I assume they will be supplying heat sink along with the upgrade boards. Thus the upgrade will happen when we remove old blades and screw up the new blade, plug the cables to controller, done. All are assumption, there may be very different from reality. ok nice hehe. but 1 - 2 months later its too late  I agree with the idea of the upgrade kit . As to whether it is too late. If btc stays under 600 it is all a big mess. But rallies can happen. |

hopefully we will hear how one of our fellow bitcoiners were solomining with 1 rockminer @ 33ghs and solved a block.....
while it is possible (probability is greater than zero), statistically it has terrible odds of happening. 32 gh is .001195 btc a day. divide that into 25 = 20,920 to 1 for a 1 day run at the current diff level. run at the current level for the next 6 days odds are 20,920 / 6 or 3486 to one. any miner that plays the 3 or 4 digit numbers at the local lottery
rather then running 1 of these units at solo-mining is pretty foolish.my frustration is no major pool offers this option with the exception of oz-coin's solopool.net .. Since that pool's op had a major money issue I do not want to use him and running solo in house cost too much as I need to dedicated a pc to run as a server. I really want to offer these as 3 packs on ebay with an easy setup to run two in a standard pool and one as a solo miner. Sadly no pool that I would trust wants to do this. So a good promo is lost. Actually, to do you calculation correctly, you'd have to actually compare it to the total bitcoin mined in a day, since you're using your daily output, not a block. If we were averaging the spec of 1 block every 10 minutes, that's 3600 btc per day. You're likelihood to mine 1 block would then be 3600 / 0.001195 or 1 in 3,012,552 to mine a block over the course of a day. Estimated time to mine 1 block is actually 20,913 days at 32 gh/s as calculated here: http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator/?h=32&p=0.00&pc=0.10&pf=0.00&d=13462580114.52530000&r=25.00000000&er=570.00000000&hc=0.00So your odds are worse than hitting a pick 5 lottery and better than a pick 6 (at least in NJ). So you'd probably be better off pointing it at a pool than wasting the hashes trying to hit the lottery. your math is wrong. think about if you math was correct merged pool mining would not work at a profit and it does. 672 th mines 1 block a day at the current diff 672th/21000 = 32 gh so if a pool had 21,000 32gh r-boxes it would make 1 block a day (perfect variance assumed) this means 1 r-box is a 21000 to 1 shot at pulling a block …… it cost 15 cents to run it a day and you lose 68 cents in pool hash earnings. total of 83 cents…… so 83 cents gets you a shot at 25 btc = 14560 usd . the odds to hit are 21,000 to one. no state 3 digit or 4 digit number pays that well 14560 usd for 83 cents when the real odds are 21000 to repeat I am not saying it is easy to hit. I am saying it pays off closer to true odds. then any state 3 digit or 4 digit number. if you play 3 digit and 4 digit numbers and you are not playing an r-box at solo mining you are mathematically making the wrong choice by far at todays diff and todays btc price. a fact that you think is not true . BTW it is cool if you keep thinking that way. you are entitled too believe what you want. I know I believe more then one thing that is not correct at all times, but not this at todays (June 26th 2014 )numbers. |

does anyone know how long it takes for shipments to arrive from china? and does anyone have problems with customs?
thanks!
for the usa 3 to 5 days from when you pay. custom issues happen.. for the usa : orders over 2500 can some extra have problems. orders under 2500 usd go pretty well. ie no duty or taxes. europe ; has vat tax and it can be high. |

Don't forget Black Arrow has started to ship x-1 with x-3's soon to come. = ? ph
Sp30's do exist = ? ph
BFL yeah the monarch = ? ph
KNC = ? ph
AM rk-box = ? ph
Antminer s-3 = ? ph
So if we are at 120ph right now real pool numbers. Not the 96ph diff number.
There are 6 on the list that are do some of the 24ph.
Diff will be 22 to 28 % jump or more. Hopefully the entire 24ph is a mix of the above 6 listed since diff will go flatter if that is true.

Read the article thanks for the solo mining plug. Right now I have all 6 of my r-boxes pointed at bitsolo.net They finally hit a block and paid a block. So I will try my luck with the six crazy guy sold me. powerwise I am spending about 260 watts at this. gear wise 210gh NOTE :I run 1th at btcguild with a miner hosted in china and I run 25mh soon to be 40 mh at wemineltc in house. I will run the 210gh worth of gear solo mined for a while I really wish it was offered by more pools. my hash rate at the bitsolo.net site six r-boxes and some fury sticks the fury sticks. and I am too lazy to walk down and take a shot of the r-boxes but do the math with the shot above and here I am doing about 192gh in r-boxes  |

if only 2Ghs i think never do mining by your self more better if you use cloud mining for mining
because for now 2 Ghs its very small if you compare with BTC diff now
Eh there isn't a cloud mining solution that has a compelling price these days. Pick up a rockminer rbox for like $60. 30+ gh. Nice littl units What is that miner, do you have a link to them ? They can be found slightly cheaper but that's a reputable seller. I bought 3 from them. Working great. this is a product that will likely never roi No product available today looks like it roi's……. Not a one. By available today I mean pay and they ship it not a pre order. Now is not the best time to buy a miner. buy a little bit of coins instead. |

okay I recommend a multi prong attack.
40k for 60th is a monster amazing stone cold bargain .
Buy the gear sell half and host the other half.
You could sell 30th for 30 to 35 k no worries. this means you have 30th for under 10k. just mine the 30th. and pay the 290 x 5 = 1500 a month to host. you roi in under 30days.
hold those mined coins for 1 year and then decide if you want to sell them.
But if you could sell 30th for 30-35k, why not just resell 60th for 60-70k and use the 20 to 30K profit to just buy Bitcoins. This would not take more than 1 total day of your time and you could move onto the next venture instead of having to babysit 60TH for 9 months  [/quote] yeah but mining is such fun. Or As my wife says the fans are too loud it is too hot in the garage. Frankly I am drifting into holding btc and ltc more then mining right now. I think I have more in coins then in gear right now. Not sure . |

I have had issues with windows 8 with a lot of different miners. So I rolled back to windows 7.

Finally got my rock miner but I'm getting some strange behaviour from cgminer. AS part of the set up instructions you have to replace a driver - http://www.eyeboot.com/rbox-setup-guideTherefore if I run bfgminer and cgminer at the same time i get the following messages in cgminer  Can anyone help in resolving this? thanks so did you download zadig and enter the driver? better yet are you running windows 7? |

Just an inquiry, another vendor is offering a G-Black unit (which appears to be five GS 'blades' in a self-contained tower), does Zoomhash have any plans to have inventory on these? The price with shipping is really close to just picking up 5 G-blades from here and being able to split them up on pools as I choose, but if you guys will be carrying them... Since I have been treated well here and prefer buying here. a 5 blade combo unit seems interesting. I ordered here quite a few times and I would not mind doing another order soon. Ditto, mainly for the self-contained power supply and controller. Love my G-Blades and all the farms I manage around the area for colleagues, but less wires and power supplies would be a win. Would be easier to manage, but does it have a r-pi built in. I use my little asock z77 chip itx-e pc with a nice i7 3770t cpu and this pc just fucking mines everything and anything. |

Why be afraid of buying s3's?
lots say buy coins instead.
I can buy both. Most likely I am staying with gridseed blades as they seem to work well and be gentle on power.
4 gridseed blades = 340 watts
1 s-3 = 390 watts.
For me I never have more then 10k in mining gear and coins . I juggled gear coins around and wait for a good buy.
mY first choice is buy a well priced gridseed blade.
my second choice is buy a coin or 2 or 3
my third choice is get a few s-3's
Waiting to see this unfold from now until the first of july.

The sticks normally don't make ROI. They are only to test mining and have fun.
A antminer u2 costs about 20$ for 1.6 GH/s that's 12.5$ per GH/s.
While other miners cost 1-2$ per GH/s.
Well, that explains a lot And yet, I see a lot of people have made some massive USB mining farms. I guess they too are also "having fun" I ran up to 127 of them sold most off but I am mining a few on bitsolo.net these sticks are pulling under 35 watts |

look like the x-1's are out they are nice but outdated 120gh at 120 watts. would have been nice gear in jan not now. the x-3's have not come out.
frankly if they are 1 watt 1 hash they won't be much lets hope they are better .
Assuming they are using the same chips, then be prepared to be underwhelmed. Having said that they look quite nice bits of kit. Oh if black arrow had delivered the x-1 on time or early people would have loved the gear. reminds me of the fury usb sticks always to slow to show up and get shipped then the antminer usb sticks crushed them. |

One last thing, has anyone , anywhere, actually been able to get the R-Box to run at 300 Mhz ? The only freqs I have found that work are 270 and 290, and I have tried every conceivable variation in the config files and even swapped out a couple of different drivers and pushed the voltage a bit. Nothing I tried had any effect on freq, the only change from default I have been able to get to work is the 290, anything else just drops to 270. cgminer.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --rmu-freq 290 -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u YYYYY -p XXXXX using the rbox version of cgminer (I downloaded it from the Chinese site - a real pain, but it should be available on an English site by now). ANYTHING else and I do mean just about anything at all, and the device will drop down to run at defaults. The code blacklists frequencies above 290 and just ignores your settings, that's why. If you had been using my official version of cgminer and not the fork you would have been able to read that in the ASIC-README included with cgminer but there are as per usual no docs with forks. yeah this is a funky device… set it and forget on the fork build of cgminer at freq 270---- that was supplied on crazy guys thread basically nothing else runs great so far. don't tweak don't do anything . and take 32.5gh at 37 watts with a plat psu , and pcie to dc jacks. I run six pretty much nonstop perfection with a windows 7 pc. and the custom fork. in fact i am getting a little better 6x 32.5gh since I switched to bitsolo.net |
