Generally any wallet will work, as long as it allows you to watch a certain coin; for example, Mist or Parity is a very easy way to do so. Just make sure that you watch the token on release day, which is tomorrow, or else you won't be able to access your tokens immediately. They won't be lost, but stuck in that wallet until you watch and withdraw the tokens.

No, you just won't be able to see it unless you add the contract address and the rest of the information on launch day. It'll still be there if you don't tamper with it.

If you're truly unsure, just keep your ICN on the site and withdraw it to an exchange once they provide addresses. Better safe than sorry.
It's what I'm doing.

Always stick with trusted brands if you're buying a miner. I wouldn't even buy the first batch of a miner, you're taking a risk with even trusted brands. If this had stats like this, i doubt these guys would even be selling it. They'd be taking over the bitcoin network.

pretty obvious scam even if we didn't have evidence. 60ths isn't completely unreasonable, but a new company coming out of the blue, promising incredible performance. No shit it's a scam, especially when they're reusing pictures that have been used in pretty much all known mining scams.

If you're ever unsure, stick with brands you know and trust. Can't usually go wrong.

I'd still consider the S7 even with such a low electricity price, but you can generally find good deals and work them out in the Computer Hardware section within Goods- always make sure you use escrow when dealing with any user involving money.

S5 can be made quieter by replacing fan, if needed. It's not as quiet as the S3, though, but it's good enough if you want a miner that won't be too loud for daily usage.

So something similar in design to the Antminer U3?  CPU heatsinks sounds most interesting- maybe i'll finally have a use for those old intel cpu coolers.
TypeZero sounds great so far, even if it draws 200w per board, still sounds fine assuming the chips are okay. Sounds like you guys are doing some hard work- we might have another source to buy miners from besides bitmain, which is even better Good luck, i'll be buying into a few of these this time around just to support you guys.

Because of the potential reward they recieve. Chances are, you do something for instant rewards as a writer or a translator. I don't know very many people who hold rewards as one of those people.
Expect price to go down after bounties and the 11th of October for sure, nobody knows how low it'll go, but my guess is around 0.0004 on already established exchanges.

There's also the fact that price drops hard after the ICO and some cryptocurrencies just fail to recover after that. Some just have no reason to be good and are simply ICO coins that get instantly dumped and have no reason. You can invest time in a coin and it won't be successful if investors and users see no reason to invest in it or even just use it; look at Litecoin, it pretty much lost its momentum and the price is going down constantly.

That's true. BTC mining is becoming more and more volatile, and in just the next few years hobby mining will be all that's left from home miners. You might want to look at a few altcoins if you haven't already, not going to say much more because this is the bitcoin forum but they can be pretty profitable. 0.3 BTC seems pretty low; might want to try another pool.

Solo can also be fun if you want to try; chances are you won't hit anything, but I have with my tiny 6TH/S rig at home. I'll probably also sell them off for a few RX 470s, I'll mine for as long as I live in some way.

it's not completely over yet, I bet there will be more small 16nm sub-100 watt devices in the future. If larger companies realize that there's actually a large demand for them we might see a product elsewhere. I'm still hyped for something to come out from sidehack, the dream is still alive hopefully you guys get a good chip provider and things next time around, I still believe in you guys ^^

It's how they've done their job, and you should just accept that. Half of the translations and blog posts are just copy-pasted anyways, and the person processing the bounties have done an excellent job of making sure nothing gets through. You've already got a pretty good profit from just initially buying from the ICO assuming you sell your ICN at the marketed price as of now; that's more than you can expect from most other ICOs. I've made a blog post and am waiting for it to be accepted; if you have an issue, contact them. Otherwise, it's your fault for not realising the opportunity in this at the beginning.


They're probably sorting through the shitposting in the bounties at this point, we'll be lucky if the funds become withdrawal next week.

Honestly, it's looking good but not as good as some people think. Obviously there is some potential here, but I personally think it's being exaggerated a bit. Then there's the fact that funds have not bee withdrawal yet. We still have a lot of speculation before the funds get released.

Because manufacturers see no need to create more equipment; mining is already more centered on datacenters and people with cheap electricity, so alternatives are now less useful(at least what they think imo). Bitcoin mining has moved off of the home mining scene steadily in the last few months, and we should have seen this coming. I don't forsee any major alternatives to the S9 and A-series miners anytime soon.

Altcoin mining has become pretty viable for most people (GPU coins like ETH and Monero) and it's where home mining is moving very rapidly. Looking at it can't hurt.

The potential profit is also huge; it's a coinflip in this occasion, but the S7-LN could also work just fine, as well as the regular S7.
Anyways, i'll go ahead and say that this thread is probably dead already due to the OP not responding in a very long time. With nearly free electricity, which I expect will probably happen due to OP living in Venezuela, it's possible to get very quick ROI on pretty much any miner not any older than the A6 or S7. That said, as of now, mining with bitcoin really isn't the best option for many people even with good electricity.

I have a few S3s running at my house and also a few modified S5s with replaced fans that made them quieter than they originally were; unfortunately, quiet miners have mostly disappeared from the market with the exception of the Bitmain R4 and the Avalon 6. There's also the S1 if you don't mind the insane hashrate to power ratio; it runs pretty well and is average in terms of sound production.

Besides that, stickminers also don't generally sell as well as full miners in most cases; i'm sure that's one of the variables that lead to this. Hopefully there'll be more in the future, stickminers have always been great things to toy around with. GPU mining ROI is relatively quick and offers a good resell price; it's an okay idea to try gpu mining if you already haven't. Used GPUS also make great gaming rigs if you decide not to use the gpus anymore, that's what I did with my old rig.

only issue with that is the fact that solar panels are easily damaged and the fact that they'll need lots of maintenance. Lots of forum members have tried using solar, and it just doesn't work very well at all. THe general rule of thumb is that if you can't mine with your current electrical rate, you probably won't be able to mine anytime in the future. Solar doesn't cut energy costs at all in most cases with mining.

Won't lie, been away for a while but i'm back and posting again.

No real stickminers go up too high, and in terms of hashrate, the gekkoscience compac is the best you'll get, like many others before me have said. The main reason is that USBs can't use much electricity and therefore don't create much hashrate with the little power that is usable, and second, the usb miner market has shrunk so much that it's not worth producing(at least what companies like bitmain and Avalon think).

If you're looking for just a quiet miner, the Antminer S3 can do. it's not terribly efficient, but it's quiet and pretty fast. The U3 is also an option if you're looking for even more compact machines. Otherwise, the USB market isn't looking good at all and i'd be surprised if any more from a manufacturer will ever be released.

It's inevitable that fees will increase; if we increase the blocksize right now, fees will indeed lower, but this will have a negative effect in the future when blocks are pretty much all mined. The price of bitcoin is uncontrollable, and although it's highly likely that will increase, it's not guaranteed. Most of us won't even be alive by the time blocks are all mined in terms of block reward without transaction fees; it's not a huge issue to us at the moment.
