Its not code (sort of), its man hours.

I was really referring to if you have to move your DC on short notice and you literally end up with a container + temporary generator on someone's lot and you still need to be able to mine.

Wouldn't be surprised if they had some encrypted version of 4G or satellite as backup connectivity and make sure 100% uptime. The great thing about mining is that the bandwidth requirements should remain constant regardless of the size of hardware!

If there is legitimate reason, ie because only negative comments are being deleted during a scam, then yes a non-self-moderated sister thread would be appropriate.

Good luck.

You're complaining about a problem which isn't a problem, the temperature probe could be wrong for all we know. There is no risk at running at 57C and if it gets too hot it will turn itself off.

Should be be allowed? No.
Is it done? Yes.
Is anything done about it? No.

Those temps are still fine, thermal cutoff is way up there at 80.

The trustnetwork dumps come once a week so I'll have to wait until next Sunday then.

You're stating the ticker sale price, not the cost price. If the containers cost $8m for Bitfury, what would be the point selling them at $8m?


Why is everyone so hostile tonight

I don't know, and I don't know what happened to the US repair place and why its not being used as much. Seemed a good idea but I guess they didn't like the cost.


The S5 was manufactured on a scale we'd never before seen in Bitcoin land, so the 'high' fail rate mainly just more units existing. And I mean a lot more.


The fans are a shame. I repeatedly asked them to reconsider a model as there were many reports of the same premature failure method - the bearing failing and making the fan assembly literally fall off. I reported it on the S4, but it was used again in S5, S7 etc.


Money before + money in = money out + money after. We all know they don't have much money after so either they didn't sell enough or their costs were too high (more likely).


No one would buy a miner at a 70% price premium in the hoep of better support. As we've seen with re-sellers, customers are price and delivery sensitive rather than support sensitive, as re-sellers inherently increase the warranty risk.


I have worked with far too many pre-startup mining companies, unfortunately enthusiasm doesn't pay the bills.


I don't know, its a hard job dealing with markets across the entire world on a budget. I have to say though, the volume of support requests wasn't that unreasonable for the amount of orders going out so at least a size-able majority would never require contact again.


Chinese vacations are very, very different to anything we can imagine over here. People don't just 'take' holiday over these periods, the entire COUNTRY goes on holiday simultaneously. I guess the only comparison would be from Christmas to New Years but there were no gaps in between and no one did anything. This includes couriers and distribution on top of staff.


You can manually set width, height or both:

And make the image a link back to the full size:

Since they bought Allied control I doubt they're still charging themselves $8m The thing is, they have the data and they've decided its the best choice so its relatively safe to assume that is the best choice. And if not then it doesn't affect us anyway. Also worth considering that its a lot easier to ship bare chips ready for OEM integration than it is to resell weird form factor, second hand boards.


Are you seriously that unable to have an adult debate? Calm down already.

That only applies when the newer generation absolutely demolishes the old one in efficiency and when electricity costs are tangible. They are not and neither is Bitfury's 28nm obsolete.

No, throwing out or selling 28nm stuff to replace it with 16nm simply doesn't make sense. They have a limited amount of hosting capacity so its 16nm OR 28nm and the other has to be sold. While they can get a better capital $ / GH with replacing the 28nm with 16nm, minimizing capital expenditure isn't always the sensible or most profitable thing to do - especially in a company as cash rich as Bitfury.

So they're going to spend money to buy 16nm, spend money to retrofit 28nm, spend money to sell 28nm, spend money to install 16nm..... and that's all going to cost them less than just selling 16nm?

Because that's even more cost to repurpose hardware that is perfectly fine, already paid for, already mining and still profitable.

If they're in immersion cooling board form, they're certainly not going to be selling them.

Meh seems the news moved from meta to reputation which no one really uses.

If a cat is appointed to DT2 then I will perma afk.

Why would they remove 28nm stuff when its already paid for and still profitable? The answer I guess is capacity and just how many data centers you want to build, but that's part of the reason they want to sell these to others.
