guys it can very well be that a common miner such as the s-1 could have a flawed batch. in theory 16ph of the entire network consists of s-1's. 1 chip run may have been for shit.
Or someone ran a batch of chips behind the back of any major chip/gear builder knocked off a ton of gear . Lets say the dragon miners had a 'sneak batch built'
Anyone that has worked in a small factory knows what I am talking about. Do A run of product behind the owners back. So I am in China I knocked off a ton of bootleg dragon miners... I set them up to solo mine lets say back in feb. they work .. I feel good as I have a great score. then they stop working lets say at the 2.4 level mentioned. I now have good money and 1000 dragon miners that don make blocks... Since I am a clever weasel I decide to mine my gear at BTCguild or cex.io guild leaching off the backs of the good gear miners most likely this has happen and is true.
Just not exactly the way I just said. But I theorize there is a lot of dud miners that can't make a block.
Now hear this the best way to combat this is for all major pools to offer a solo fork. why because the scumbag weasel dude with his 1-2ph of shit gear can never make a block solo mining ........ he has to mine on shared pools to earn money.
So once again I ask all large pools known to pay off and not steal the blocks to do this offer a solo fork to all of us..
In fact force it on us for a week every 10th week at least for that one week out of ten the weasel won't steal from us.
Sounds radical but it only mathematically hurts a guy with 'dead for blocks- live for hash gear' If the dark miner or the 2ph of 'bad' gear is out there this method kills it while it is used.
Obviously pool ops have the truth about how hard it is to do my suggestion but one thing is for sure a rouge miner with shit gear gets fully burned since he has no one to leach from while this happens.
Anyone that has an understanding of game theory should see my suggestion works. So I ask all big ops why don't you do this or a variation of this.

Will pay in BTC.
Hero members only. I will send first.
Well I don't mind selling an amazon card and I am a hero member, but why do you think I would give you an 18% discount. It is not easy to get one that cheaply. |

These laws do not apply if you are not running a btc business, but i am so I have to report any 600 usd of btc transfer.
Finally, I got it, before that number of $600 that you cite was a complete mystery. I know that any business that pays a person more than $600 in one tax year has to give out form 1099, but that's all. I was not sure that purchasing something qualifies as well. Such purchase does qualify as expense on a yearly tax report, but that's trivial. I am not sure what exactly you gain by NOT having your RK-box booked as an expense which could be used to offset the revenue, but i am not a tax expert. I do not have to fully explain the history of the btc transferred if it is under 600usd. I can say purchased a rx-box for 580usd. if the price was 580 usd the day i purchase it. now if I buy a 3000 usd sp10 all in coin I need to completely explain the full history of the 5.2 btc I paid with. Or I am not compliant with current law. So Lets say I purchased 3000 usd worth of coin from coin base wait 7 days for it to transfer I have to list price paid. I have to list price it was worth when transferred which is not to complicated if I bought from coinbase and moved it 8 days later….. But if the coins came from 6 sales here of .1 or .2 btc and from 3 miners and from coinbase it is a lot more complicated. So until irs gets it shit together I no longer do coin movements or transferers over 600 usd. I will use paypal which is how I purchased my 1th dragon miner…… I will use cc's which is how i purchased 5 gridseed blades. at about 650 usd each. I have a lot of back history with fed tax law so I really try to cross the t's and dot the i's |

Shipping, in stock.
Little OT, but having bought from you several times in the past, do you intend to stock the RK-Box? First off a good psu with good cables + very stable gear. Second off yeah like you i am thinking i want a rk-box. Third off canary did one thing for me is I went out and purchased 1.2btc at around 570usd. due to his post above. so I am ready to pull the trigger on something. I do have 6 of the r-box already see this shot of them with new custom cables here is one of the two pcie cables note yellow shrink wrap to stop confusion with these and my gridseed cables here is a shot of the same type for gridseed. note the black shrink wrap all cables are from cablez on this site. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=54059https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74397.340 |

I got my cables from cablez. They work nicely cablez made up 2 sets for me. They fit well and he shrink wrapped them in yellow to allow for easy difference with his grid seed cables. These are 16 gauge and 3 per pcie cable. so if you run only 3 r-boxes they are a good choice. My break out board comes on monday. I will post the cables in a few. the break out board next week. here is one of the two pcie cables note yellow shrink wrap to stop confusion with these and my gridseed cables here is a shot of the same type for gridseed. note the black shrink wrap |

road stress has the best gear available in the world the sp10 and eventually the sp30 will be better gear. But simple math shows buying the rk-box is a better purchase . I can earn from June 30th to Sept 30th ... The sp30 is delayed too long.
Also if you are in the USA and buy a rx-box at .9btc you are not subject to US federal reporting laws.
A transfer of .9btc x 600 usd = 540 USD UNDER THE CURRENT 600 TRANSFER LAW. So I am looking to buy these and not worry about extra tax reporting.
I would have purchase an in hand sp10 but was offered a deal in btc only not paypal. I was offered to buy an sp30 and that was also btc purchase.
I trusted the seller but with reporting laws I did not buy the gear. My last over 600 usd purchase was a grid seed blade I did this purchase via paypal.
I did a purchase of 2800 for a 1th dragon miner and that was paypal.
What make these rx box items interest me is the sale price will work with btc reporting laws of the USA.
These laws do not apply if you are not running a btc business, but i am so I have to report any 600 usd of btc transfer.

Assume a few things.
It is 6 amps . It was made to spec.
The r-box pulls 38 to 46 watts.
So
a 5 amp x 12 volt = 60 watts.
A 6 amp x 12 volt = 72 watts.
To run gear 24/7/365 your safety factor should be 75 to 80 %.
75% of 60 watts = 45 watts
75% of 72 watts = 54 watts.
Since I may be pulling 46 watts non stop. A 5 amp brick is borderline A 6 amp brick is not borderline (Assume they are correctly made)
If I used bricks to run my r-box units I would want 6 or even 7 amp bricks just in case.
I run mine using an atx power supply they use about 40 watts each and run very stable so far.

Doc, is it possible that multipool is cheating the pool? Koi has about the same hashrate and has solved several blocks over the last 3 days it so. Multipool has solved zero. Its odd.
This is something we need to be vigilant about. It was happening at BTCGuild where 2,000TH/s "did not know" they had a flaw and could not solve a block yet could provide "work" so they got their share of the pool. It is early yet, but I am certainly getting concerned which is why i posted. Multipool has had about 200TH/s at bit minter (they seem to ramp it down right after someone else solves a block for a while but then it goes back up. 200 / 84,000 (network) X 144 (blocks per day) = 0.35. Which means on average 200TH/s right now should solve a block every 3 days. They have been here how long? I think only five days but someone can correct me. At this point, it could be bad luck. But if it goes 15-24 days, I think we should vote them off the island and doc should withhold their "share". What happened at BTCGuild, is that the person "that did not know they had a flaw in their miners" received their share of the blocks BTC guild solved so everyone was shortchanged by about 20%. You can argue this a lot of ways but that is how I look at it. I still believe (and people have told me I am insane/stupid/crazy/"just do not understand") that there are flawed miners out there that are free riding on the network pools because they know they can never solo mine and solve a block. You really think someone that had the money to build the facilities to put in 2,000TH/s of miners (facilities would cost around $2-4M) AND pay for all those miners (another $1.5-3M) DID NOT PAY $5,000 for someone to write them solo mining software? Sure. That is believable. So, that would mean after solo mining and not finding a block for a few weeks, they KNEW the miners had a problem but they were "hashing", just not solving blocks. What do you do when you have $4M on the line and cannot solve a block but you show bashing power? Go to a pool and get paid for hashes from the blocks that other do solve. It is too early to say this about multi pool but I am very suspicious and watching. If they do not hit a block soon, I think I will move. You do not understand what you are talking about. And at the same time you do understand what you are talking about. Wow that must be very hard on your mind. Here is what I agree with. Your theory is: multi pool's gear sucks and they jump all over the place with broken gear they are stuck with You may be correct, they could have had terrible gear built solo mined for a while realized the gear sucks and they are stuck with it. So why not create multi pool jump all over the place hurting a pools luck and leach off those of use with good miners. They should mine a block every 3 days it is now 5 days. that is nothing. I have seen pools that need 3 hours a block go for 25 hours . So if multi pool does this goes 24 or 25 days you may be correct. You even said that in your thereoy . So actually you are not wrong so far. and you have pretty good understanding. up to all of the above. You then say 2 more days and you leave 2+5 = 7 days not 24 So all your understanding above gets fully lost by wanting to wait for 2 days. Also why did you warn multi pool that you are on to them? If they are truly villainous mining with terrible gear leaching off all the network you let them know you are on to them. Why didn't you wait for 20 days or 30 days to say something. If they are the bad guys you say they are they will now jump more and hide better. This is what I mean when I say you do both you understand and you don't understand. Must be painful at times. I used to have that problem .. I found it to be very painful. |

expedia is a nice company. the acceptance of btc by them is good for us. Although right now coins are drifting down a bit. I could see a solid up spike this fall. much more likely then a drop. I may buy a few coins today.

I see the Rbox price as quoted in dollars. Without going through the process of trying to buy one on the website, what are actual payment methods? Something that converts to Bitcoin, or actual dollar transactions. It might be good to elaborate on payment methods and shipping cost, prior to actually getting too far into the order process.
I paid for my miners on the asicpuppy site using paypal. I do know what you mean you do not want to join the website with an email to check everything out. I suggest creating an email for all your asic buys. I wish I had done that 2 years ago. My paperwork for keeping records is a mess. |

the breakout board has an on off switch. it will allow for an easy power testing of the 6 r-boxes
crazy will you be getting x box or rx box ?
Yes, I also put in an order for the RKBOX. I will release pricing and allow orders once the shipping date is solid. sounds good I can add on 480-500 watts and not be too hot for the summer. |

I also hooked the 6 up to the sea sonic 1200 watt plat I pull the last few usb sticks I have out of the circuit
I am running 4 grid seed blades and 192gh of the r-boxes total power use for that a few fans and my i7 3770t/asrock itx-e pc is 630 watts.
I am using about 230 watts for the 6 r-boxes .
I am using about 340 watts for the 4 grid seed blades
I am using about 60 watts for the pc the fans and 2 powered hubs.
At 15 cents a k-watt 610 watts = 610 x 24 x 30 = 439200 watts a month or 440 kwatts x .15 = 66 dollars or 2.20 a day.
My r-boxes earn 4.93 a day
My grid seed blades earn 18.23 a day my net after power = 21 a day
What is nice is my power is low for the summer no extra ac.
I get 1 more grid seed blade maybe on mon-tue. it pushes power to 700 watts in house.
an x-box will max me for the summer.
these r-boxes should keep ahead of the power curve for all the summer into oct-nov.
hoping to see btc go up to the 1k-1.5k level in the early fall.

please let us know. BTW my pc crashed yesterday, not sure why but this problem comes and goes this pc's mobo has mined 24/7/365 for 20+ months.
So far so good on my end. I decreased the temps a little by moving some fans around (now running ~37ish) with clocks at 280 and so far running solid at 33.6GH/s. No signs of a memory leak yet, but I'll keep my eye out. Sorry your having issues with your PC Philip, but it sounds like CrazyGuy is working on some updates. I think you may have solved your issue 37 c vould be the cure. I may have figured out this pc issue. I set no windows 7 updates since I don't want the updates to interfere with mining and this pc only mines. The last 3 times it crashed even with the no windows updates within 2 hours after the crash it does a windows update. So I am thinking my no updates choice gets over ridden by microsoft. Does not happen much every 20-40 days. I thought it was an aging mobo but I think not. This would be good news since this pc has mined so long and so hard and so well I do not ever want to lose the mobo. Asrock z77 -itx-e with an intel i7 3770t low power quad cpu. |

downclocking it to 880gh and getting an 850 watt power may have been a better choice. runs cooler quieter.
1100gh is nice but the 1390 watt pull is meh.
Of course if the price of btc jumps to 900 usd your gear would be fine.

It's not your fathers XBOX! When will we see a price? I'm anxious.
prices needs to be under 1 btc not sure if it will be that low. I get a 12 usd profit if it is 630 usd coins stay at 630 usd hash is 450 gh and watts are 480 gh with diff growth at 15% and I staet mining it today. problem is i start to mine it on june 30 so it needs to be priced under 630 usd to work if coins are at 630 usd. around .9 btc works |

I've been running 4 on a beaglebone without any slowdown after 4 days. You may want to keep an eye on cgminer's memory usage in Windows, perhaps there's a leak?
Crazy, I'll have to keep my eye out for a memory leak. I'm also planning on booting up a linux box to see if I have better results there. what is temp in your mining cave. I have been under 83f at all times. If you are running at 95f ambient temp that could be the problem.
also what is on that corsair psu? a lot of power draw against it?
same goes for the hp brick just the 1 r-box on a 120watt brick or other gear.
checking system processes for a ram leak is a good idea.
MY pc has
cg miner
cpu miner
bfg miner all running and my ram numbers are good
My ambient temp is around ~80F in the Minecave (essentially a small workroom in my basement), so I'm guessing that's not the issue. The Corsair PSU has 2x Technobit Hex16A miners and 1x Asicminer Blade on it along with 1x R-box. The HP brick only has the 1x R-box. I'm planning on reworking my power supplies to put both R-boxes on another power supply. I just restarted CGminer, so I'll have to wait a few days to see if there's a memory leak. please let us know. BTW my pc crashed yesterday, not sure why but this problem comes and goes this pc's mobo has mined 24/7/365 for 20+ months. |
