Honestly we have done this dance to many times.  You need a hobby sir.  A payment shows almost nothing as we don't know you are not 3/4th of people on list.  Your 3rd  party is a blog... and not a well known one even.

Hardware is a huge deal you get mad as I tell people to research and see if there is hardware.  You have never once tried to talk about hardware you want to have people not research it.   The fact is if people research it it prevents a LOT of scam's.  No not all GAW and AM did have trouble.  But 2 compared to who know's how many scams in total is a petty good metric on seeing if it's a scam.

I honestly do push research I have put my items I look for.  But it's up the the investor to figure out what they want to see.   You can bash me for it.  But at end of day I feel good that I did not push anyone into a investment, only helped with research.

I suggest you stop trying to make point of thread a fight, and try to show you are legit instead.   You spend to much time on 2 sites saying they don't release payment.... which payment shows nothing as we don't know it's not you on 3/4 of payment or paying your own accounts more then others... etc.  We just don't know with your system.

I just suggest focusing on showing why yours should be one a investor want's instead of bashing same people and sites over... and over.

You would need to be on the forums a pretty good amount to hit 50 dollars worth.  It is possible but if your doing posts just to get posts chances are you lose content and will get a temp ban.

If you are on the forum like me all the time it's doable.   Just takes some time.   Also you really need to be full member or higher to get that much.  Less then full member pay is a decent amount less.

I cant decide if a lot went to CK's pool and just modified it or if they were limited at launch and sold out quick.  It seems they sold out quick, I'm assuming they will have another batch but I'm guessing they are focused on S7 ATM on next batch.

Antrouter is small in scheme to them compared to getting next batch of S7's up.

I'm not sure seems like they ran out much quicker then I thought. Crazy Guy has some in stock last I heard and was selling - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=612390.0

Might hit him up if your wanting one, that is where I got mine from.

The anwser is no it's not worth it.  You are better of almost all of the time mining BTC and buying some altcoins if you want them.   Btc just is the most common sha coin by far, pretty much everyone is mining it.

I don't think there is another sha coin that currently could get me to invest.   And if you look at nicehash you will see people are not paying huge premium so not really anyone doing sha altcoins.

It's already in winter air now so it's actually pretty cool.   Mine got hot during summer but I pushed it with lot's of CFM's.   I don't live in a area evaporation cooling would would work with humidity.

This is like 15k CFM pushing air through where miners are:



Then the problem was I needed more exhust so I used a lot nicer gable fan - http://www.homedepot.com/p/QuietCool-Professional-3013-CFM-Power-Gable-Mount-Attic-Fan-AFG-PRO-3-0/206047381

But on temp it was 80F ambient maybe some day's in 90F  at it's hottest.   But with all the CFM's it made it through it no problems.

This is far from truth.  You really need to do some more ROI math.  Many were profitable home/hobby miners at 230 per coin.... and we have had a 70 dollar jump up per coin.  So that is really good.

What is your electricity rate?  Assuming 10 cents or so with new gear you should be doing pretty good.  Only way you were hurting is if electricity was to high or using to old of gear.

The only thing is I predict it to run loud.   Even if they do have a lite coming out and go to 2 blades .   I don't see it being quiet.

And now the warranty is so tough if you mod fan's on bitmain gear you lose warranty.  So I'm not sure I would go with a new miner if he will be modding chances are.  just a high dollar item to lose warranty on.

And this is HUGE for miners I was profitable at 230.... so I was not hurting to bad during then.  Bring it up to 300 a coin... and I'm doing and feeling pretty good right now.

Mining is far from dead.   I think it's a pretty good period for it during this change.

I thought in first post it said "free" power?  Is it free or what is price of electricity?

We just need to know more to be able to anwser the question.

Avalon 4.1 is most quiet there is as far as recent miners.  Nothing compares to it as far as stock miner not modded. It is more expensive though.

You really need to look into modding.  I have a feeling you might end up with a S5 again an do a mod this time.

I would not invest based on this.  Same could be said on Ponzi first in... has best chance of getting money back.  When they make a pyramid of money a little goes out as long as more is coming in.

But a lot of these once money flow from people stops.... they ride into sunset with what BTC they did not pay out.  Don't trust HYIP or ponzi schemes.... it's not a good long term investment.

It seems decent for ATX PSU's.  Wish they were a little bigger then 850's.   I like having fewer PSU's.

Ever since I figured out how well some server PSU's work I have not paid near as much attention to ATX psu's.  Server PSU's are just hard to beat on price and depending on which one you get they can have impressive power ratings if they were to to rated.

We seem to have 2 threads indicating avalon 6's in early November.  We will see how good the sources are.  It will be interesting to see BM and Avalon both making gear.

It should be a good thing as far as price on miners (I'm hoping at least).  But it could be a bad thing on difficulty rise if both start pumping out machines.

On a good note coinbase hit 303.... impressive hopefully it stays and does not go down below again.

I would highly suggest doing what you feel comfortable with.  Do some ROI math and look at difficulty and try to do a good  estimate on what it will bring you.

There are some with lots of GH's in cloud and some with none.  I personally love playing with gear so I have a lot of hardware and a little cloud.  But some hardware is not a option, so it all depends.  You should not base your investment off what others say on a board.  I like having my own ROI it makes me feel more secure.

It's a really individual thing as everyone's risk they take is different.  And amount they are able to use is different aswell never invest more then you can lose in any investment.

The heat is a challenge for anyone that setup's a decent amount of miners.  I had to do a lot off CFM's of fans to get through the summer.

I'm lucky winter is coming and it's cooling down.  But for initial investment I now can mine during summers from this point on with using fan's and not AC which saves a lot of money.

What are you referring to with guaranteed profits?  It's pretty hard to find a investment that no matter what happens it's guaranteed ROI.

Sounds to good to be true to me.

I'm not sure either I had good luck with ehash. So if I could stick with them chances are I would.  I'm would really need a announcement to switch companies.

But it is looking like possibly a GB item.

Thanks for sharing that is very very scary to see.  Only thing funny is photobucket offering prints of photos.... i doubt that is a memory you care to mount on the wall.

Most likely I bet Bitmain say's no and asks to ship it back looking at the damage.   If they do surprise me and let you open it up please share.

Some PSU's are so cheap it's asking for trouble. I have burnt one PSU cord and ever since have paid for quality PSU's.  It's a little scary seeing the after math I got lucky and just the cheap adapter the PSU came with burnt.  But It made me think... do I want to sleep with that worry? I don't.

So get quality PSU's.   A new trend is server PSU's only thing is a lot of them tend to be loud.
