Last halving, miners still ran for up to a week before the hashrate really fell. If at all difficulty or hashrate overall falls, it'll be very slow, as S9's will replace a lot of the network hashrate. Bitmain themselves probably runs their own S9's right now as well. S7s will still mine for a little given that Bitcoin rises just a bit above where it is now. Avalons could, but generally people sell their miners before they stop earning for easier sales, rather than selling when they stop earning altogether. Miners are often in large pools, so you'll see chunks going down instead of whole pools.

I'd buy one depending on the condition of each knife. Damascus is interesting, but please provide an inspect link and condition. I expect it's MW, but you have pretty decent prices going around.

I'd really be more interested in this if you paid in btc instead of a service fee return, but it seems like a good deal either way. I'll start working on this sometime today. You'd also attract many more people than you would if you continued with a refund, but I'm sure there'll still be plenty of posts on blogs about this.

Are these still available?
He's on vacation if you read his last post. Email him at the address he stated. Maybe if you actually read everything before posting you wouldn't as questions like this

I tried to purchase another item from them via ebay, tried to return because i didn't want the item after ordering it, 2 days later no response, no confirmation from both bitcoinsberlin and all4btc. Their phone number doesn't work either, so i'm getting pretty impaitent. very slow service, i doubt they'll ever respond. With the falling price of btc, by the time my order comes, it'll be the halving.
Somehow, just like last time, right after i post, they respond. Still very slow service if you live in US like me.

Interesting site. I don't really know any other sites providing individual statistics for a specific gambling website, so maybe this could help us see what sites are up to Some reviews are not that current, but a few are pretty recent. I see some written a year ago, and those might not be as good right now. I probably just enjoy watching people win and lose overall

It's pretty simple, but you need patience. Get a good account with good posts, apply for high paying signature campaigns, look for good jobs in the services board, and you'll easily earn more than 1 btc in a month if you do multiple jobs and such. Just keep an eye on your expenses and set a goal for yourself; if you start getting careless, 750 turns into 500 which turns into 0. As people have said above, the high paying campaigns are getting more strict about posting, so be sure to at least try to have good English and posts. Writing reviews and making videos for various betting websites work; generally a website will pay up to 30$ for a review or video, and it's great for you and for them; as an example, Rollin.io offers 0.05 BTC for a qualifying review (CHECK THAT YOU QUALIFY IF YOU WANT TO REVIEW) and 30% comission for referrals. With higher referrals come more $$$. These are just examples, but you get how many ways there are to make easy bitcoin.

Another good start point is several millions of dollars.

You heard it guys! buy boatloads of 1200w PSU boards from the guy to fund the Community Miner.... Like a gazillion of them. (Have 3 of them powering 6 S5 and they chug along rather nicely, pretty solid PSU and board). Now speaking seriously, unless we get an angel investor and someone with the know-how of ASIC development on board, dreaming about a community ASIC is just that, a dream. You've noticed, haven't you? All the community miners on this forum that have ever been made (for the most part, 99% sure correct me if I'm wrong) have been made from existing ASICs. We could get some guy that knows ASICs, all right, we just don't have the funding as of now for any projects, and even if they successfully made the ASIC, I doubt it would be cheap. They'd have to have a pretty high price to even roi themselves.

Yeah, I meant 2.1Ths. Good little miner.
24 Hour Earnings: 0.00459576 35,216,384 Accepted 3 HW Errors
42 Degrees on the boards, and it's not super-heating my office. It's also sitting on the floor right next to my desk and the noise doesn't bother me at all.
I really hope that they make a S9-LN model as well! The way it looks right now, the S7-LN is a really hot item. If they ever make an S9-LN, it'll probably be like how the S7-LN was made- right after the last few batches of S7. I think Bitmain will continue in the future with normal Sx miners and Sx-LN in the future instead of their old rackminer and U series - it's earned probably a lot more than either of those for Bitmain, and good for us too- the power supplies alone cost a ton, and the price is justifiable where you can just remove the psu when the miner's spent or you don't want to mine anymore. Great combo miner imo, better than the cheap 1 fan S7s they made.

Lul, funny to see that Finex has so many problems right now. I'm seeing normal prices on all the other exchanges. I forsee a dump at 900$ when we get there, pushing us to 750 again. Nothing bad happened yet, so I'm assuming we're safe... for now.

Ordered one last night and it's scheduled for delivery Monday! Pretty good service!
Came today as expected. Well packed in foam, all parts look brand-new. PS still had protective plastic on it. Got it underclocked to 2.1Ghs to make it quiet and not so hot - though it was pretty quiet out of the box. 2.1GH/S??? I think you stopped all the ASICS but one. Good to know that the PSU'S are at least in good shape - was worried they could just go to the trash dump and find some random 87+s and put them on their miners ready to ship. Hot is something else- was it running hot at default? There's probably no space for oc then.

Even if lketc has these 14nm miners (even chips), it's useless for us because we can't buy it. Bitfury has stopped working on it's 14nm most likely, and Avalon will possibly keep working, although at this point they should start at least researching the next generation chips; it's all they can really do now. No other company owns 14nm ASICS for bitcoin for now, and at least for a short time, Bitmain is the only provider of current generation chips and miners.

When sidehack says stuff like this, you know it's good. I used to regularly track this thread, but as it became the same stuff every week, I stopped. Looks like I'll be keeping up with this thread, and if any more information comes up, or even pricing (if ever) I'll be the first one to hop on I would much rather support a community miner than one made by a bigger company. Seeing people do this is great!

Amazon or eBay. Plenty of people willing to buy from there. I've seen miners go for 100 over the price they are here at the forum. Amazon has less volume for miners (I think), but either way, these two are the best options. Most people look for a listing with free shipping, so raise your prices accordingly. Of course, if you'd like to cash out in Bitcoin, there are plenty of people willing to buy with escrow here. S7s are in high demand right now, so either way, your miners should sell pretty quickly.

I'm looking to buy some hardware for mining bitcoin, since I have no spending power, then wanted to know what would be the best hardware to be able to mine?
If you have no money, then why bother buying hardware? Better use that money on a nice suit and get a job. Bitcoin mining, even with free electricity is fun and fun only, There is no way you make ROI, and with the halving coming up, you will overpay on any miner you buy. Not entirely true. If he does have cheap electricity, he could be making ROI with even outdated miners. We don't know the details, so he might as well be asking for a car when he has ten bucks to spend. If your electricity is cheap enough (lower than 0.1$/kwh), you could make a profit with the S9 if you chose to buy it. S7-LN may work, but it really does depend how much your electric rates cost.

Pmed you. I will update this post when/if I get accepted, and my experience.
OP is very nice, offers better prices than most. My first payment has been paid in full, and by chance if anybody looking back on the services board looks at this, I'd very definitely recommend this. Needless to say, prices are more than fair.

I suspect some S5/SP20 generation miners WILL shut down at the halfing, due to high power cost making them unprofitable. S7/A6 and later should remain profitable - that generation at this point is the majority of the hashrate - so any hashrate dip at the halfing should be fairly small, and won't last long.
IMO the S9 is still overpriced - I'm waiting for competition for it to show up and drive the price down, given there have been A FEW announced 14/16nm generation miners there should be competition fairly soon.
On the other hand, I'm still waiting for pricing info and final miner specs on the Innosilicon A4 too - so many options once I get moved (I'm got the van mostly packed for my first load "grab stuff I don't need right away and move it, find a place to move TO if possible if not toss it into storage temporarily 'till I DO find a place" planned run, probably will be on the road sometime tomorrow).
Most people still running S5s are SP20s either have free electricity or extremely cheap electricity (0.01$/kwh) so I don't expect many of those to turn off. The dip will happen, but it's overhyped, and who cares? Lower diff is good. S9's are a great investment right now for anybody- their cost is pretty high,but their performance is good, AND you'll make a good profit before the halving. If you bought B1, you might have made about 200$+ before the halving, which brings the price down a bit. The later batch prices will fall, but at a price.

OP has no spending power, meaning no money, no moola, no cashiola. The best hardware for someone like him is an air miner, only thing is he'll get air bitcoin from it.
Lul. Seriously, I think he has free electricity and if he does, if he really has no spending power [which would be really, really unfortunate since he cant buy anything] and he has at least 100$, aim for an S3. S3+S are unnecessary, because why overclock? it just uses more electricity, but if you use less, it feels good. If you can snag a SP20[there occasionally are ones below 100USD], they are reliable, and use relatively small amounts of electricity. They also have a large amount of hashpower, more than a S5, which usually costs around 100$ as well, at least on this forum. The reason I don't recommend S1s anymore is because they cost so much to ship that people just price them about the same as a S3, and that's pretty dumb. If anything, an S1 is a collector's item, along with the block erupter usb and U1 and u2. You get the point.

t's also available directly for sale from Bitmain, and will actually make you some money after the halving, but not enough to roi. If you're loking for ROI, try the S9.
I find this statement of not being able to ROI not entirely truthful. If your electricity is good, which I think you have already done the math on because you're interested in mining, then it should be .07 or around there. Yes the difficulty will rise from s9 and that is more efficient, the s7 should still be able to ROI depending on price and difficulty after the halving. I'm assuming his electricity is 0.10$/Kwh. The majority of people mining these days see around 0.1$/kwh. 0.07 is already more cheap than half the people of the US pay for their electricity, and assuming he comes from America, then he could very well pay for more than 0.07. Price is highly debated, but the current pump brings the price to near 777 as of now, and difficulty should face a narrow drop before rising. Of course, each day that passes lowers the reward, so if op were to buy the s7ln, he'd better do it soon- it's a possibility they'll stop selling it soon. If that happens, most resellers are selling the s7ln at 500+, so he's screwed. Bitmain shipping also has to be calculated, and depending on where he lives, the rates are different. I'm just assuming he's an average guy with average electricity. He didn't state at all what his cost for electricity was, so I'd think 0.10 is fair.

I may buy a few S3+s,but it depends how expensive shipping is. I recently got access to really cheap electricity (0.02$USD) and I'd like to expand my tiny farm. I have pmed you for a shipping quote for 1 miner
