Option for computer restart when seek GPU found would be very useful. Seek GPU could be determined if 3 (or more) consecutive hashrates of GPU are identical.

I've been overall pretty satisfied with my uptime on the miners. I do wish the hosting price could come down some, but that was known coming in. Yeah it does take some time to get a response but it is normally resonable. I haven't experienced selling my hosted miners yet so in the next few months I will be interested in how that process works and what value S7's are going for in the China market.
I'm satisfied too, but also expecting lowering the maintenance prices. Right now, Bitmain's Hashnest maintenance is roughly 20% lower than Li's maintenance fee. With new generation of ASIC coming 20% could be the decision is it or not profitable. |

Withdrawal cost to EUR is flat 9 cents. Normally takes 4-12 hours.
Could You share the exchange where BTC to EUR fee is flat 9 cents? Thx. |

Compensation received and,... S7s are online from this morning. Thx Li.

Hi All,
MESSAGE FROM LEE.
Following is the information passed to me by Lee by email and asked me to pass to you guys as he can not connect to VPN and can not able to connect to forum.
He will send mining according to 100% pps as last difference.
Thanks
Sky
Did he mentioned till when is start of last batch delayed? Compensation is OK, but what will be the money source for very long delay? |

My S7 stopped hashing at Antpool:  Backup pools are not getting anything also. Please check. Thx. |

first, 950 donot include psu, second, this price is only for foreign customer, bitmain need add 17% tax for Chinese customer, so they canot set the price as 950 for me BTW, i will pay the compensation to the next diff now, the next diff should adjust on 8th Feb， so total 12 days from 27th Jan. according to 100%pps, 0.0042 btc/T/day, so each s7 will got 0.0042*4.73*12=0.2384 btc will send to the btc address of each customer who buy the s7 in this batch. Update: sent  Compensation received. Thx Li. |

I am considering to turn the current host mode to cloud hashrate mode and send mining earning to customer each day according to 96% PPS,
then you will not need to worry about the mining status and i donot need to calculate downtime compensation.
meanwhile, i will still show the miner status on our website, when the website is restore to confirm the miner is real
Personally don't like the idea, because almost all "cloud" mining operations couldn't resist to possibility of confirming one miner is real multiple times. I believe that You are very honest person, but I don't think I would ever joined Your farm if it was "cloud hashing" project. Too many sad stories with "cloud hashing" till now. Anyhow, it's Your farm and Your decision. One that is not satisfied with conditions can always sell or deliver the miners. |

seems my both S7 are down . Any one have same issue ?

We aren't using the same technology that they are using. Are you familiar with Reed-Solomon coding? It makes storing files online substantially more fault tolerant. Currently, we store 5 copies of the file across 10 hosts. The original file can be recovered from *any* 2 of the hosts, which means that you just need 20% of the hosts to be online when you want the file. Host uptime on our network is over 90%, so the chance that a full 8 out of 10 are going to be down is very slim. These numbers will get substantially better as the number of hosts increase, but already they are good enough to not be causing problems.
Interally, most datacenters do you 3 redundancy, by the way. Additionally, as you can see from our pricing we are able to compete on price, even at this early stage.
Still 3 times more space needed. Meaning, SIA hosts should level hosting prices being more than 3 times lower compared to existing cloud services. I don't think that profi high-capacity data centers could offer 4 times lower price. Hobby hosts could do that. And SIA needs many of them to be able to knock on Mega's door and say "look what capacity and price I can offer"... |

One can't compete Amazon, Google or Microsoft using the same technology they are using. Just because of X-redundancy, storage price will be X-times higher. Unless army of unused HDD parts jumps into equation with Y-times lower price. Competitive condition is Y to be significantly higher than X. My imagination of future SIA network was massive number of small hosts.
Lets not forget that they all use X-redundancy, huge storage facilities, cooling systems, tech engineers to maintain it all, managers to take big salaries.. I seriously doubt they use 4 or 5 times redundancy for storage like SIA is considering to use. |

Personally, I would never save on SIA network nothing more than a THIRD copy of my files until I see thousands of hosts running.
Why? There is absolutely no need for that. I think you have a mis-perception about what is required to keep data secure. Amazon doesn't have thousands of hosts, they put your data in single datacenter. The next version will have better redundancy information so you can see how your files are doing, but to the best of my knowledge no file has ever been lost on the Sia network. Our algorithms have improved significantly since the last release, file will be even more secure on v0.5.0. One can't compete Amazon, Google or Microsoft using the same technology they are using. Just because of X-redundancy, storage price will be X-times higher. Unless army of unused HDD parts jumps into equation with Y-times lower price. Competitive condition is Y to be significantly higher than X. My imagination of future SIA network was massive number of small hosts. |

I think you are mistaken. IF there is money to be made, hosts will figure out how to make it. Sia's big problem right now is NOT that it does not have enough hosts. Sia's big problem is that it does not have enough people uploading files. You don't need to do any port forwarding at all to be an uploader on the Sia network. Don't need a static IP, don't need any fancy configurations.
Chicken and egg problem. Personally, I would never save on SIA network nothing more than a THIRD copy of my files until I see thousands of hosts running. There is huge pool of empty HDD space existing at average Joe's computers. But average Joe doesn't want to bother with fixed IP or dynamic dns services by himself. He will be very much interested in clicking one button that will make his empty HDD space available to the SIA network and makes (SIA) credit for his next HDD purchase. External HDDs could be packed with SIA installation wallet for hosting, installed upon connecting the drive. Perfect if it could be bought or discounted with SIA. It could be arranged with worldwide supplier that is crypto visionary (Overstock.com) or with HDD manufacturing companies. Only my two cents in order of making SIA start. |

Wanted to dedicate some terabyte for hosting, but can't: Ports 9982 and 9981 already forwarded manually, so something wrong with wallet. Workaround for manual announcement is unusable, my IP is changing every day.  Don't host if your IP is changing daily; clients that upload to your host cannot retrieve files if your IP changes and then you will not be paid. Set up dynamic DNS, or get a fixed IP. You could try announcing from the command line: siac host announce [hostname]:[port] where [hostname] is your IP or hostname and [port] is the port Sia should listen on (this port may have to be forwarded to your PC). Thx for the clarification, but I doubt in expansion of SIA hosts with the fixed IP or dynamic DNS requirement... |

Can You provide pictures of fallen heatsinks? I'm interested does only bigger heatsinks are falling or smaller also. Thx.
Edit: wrong positioned question mark.
Small radiators are tinned. They can not easy way fall off. So if S7 is positioned in a way so big heatsinks are at the top side, there will be no "falling heatsinks" anymore. |
|
|

It is very frustrating also because desperately want to just leave the miners alone. Every time you touch them, the more likely they will drop heat sinks it would seem.

5.4.1 binaries for OSX anywhere? Link from OP is non-functional. Releases there stopped in March at 5.1.
