501  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: People so upset about the difficulty they are SMASHING their miners to pieces on: February 09, 2016, 03:45:20 PM
Okay, turns out this thread is trash. The descriptions from the images that were posted 10 months ago suggest its nothing to do with difficulty and the dude is just a bit crazy.

Quote
Destroyed bitcoin miners (1.245th/s) plus bonus s1 blades

Pic 1: A few bitcoin miners that were smashed (2Antminer s1(240ghs), 2 antminer s3(900ghs), 1 blackarrow prospero x-1(100ghs) and 2 corsair cx75m). BONUS: 4 antminer s1 blades smashed too! All of these were taken after being destroyed by a very mad parent. Devil worshiping magical internet money making machines

Pic 2: Even PSU's go! it all goes, nothing stays when you find bitcoin gear. Devil worshiping machines.

Pic 3: Bitmaintech, blackarrow, it makes no difference it is all evil

Pic 4: Antminer s3 upgrades and broken corsair cx750m. Everything must go

Pic 5: Antminer s3 upgraded, smashed with it's old blades and updated controller board. See you in hell, devil worshiping magical internet money making machines

Welcome back Roger. Are you aware of the fact that Mircea Popescu has said he'll flood the market with his stash if Classic wins ?
It his highly likely that the majority of the holders will start selling everything. I'll join them as well. Classic is an abomination almost rivaling the case of the recent outbreak of hearnia. I'm not sure how this exactly is relevant to the thread. If anything this thread should be trashed.

I'm a Bitcoin 1%'er myself and will also be dumping my holdings if Classic wins.

Fuck anything involving Roger Ver.

I'm a 0.0001%er and I will dump ALL my holdings if we start forking all over the place. You have been warned.

Are they all S1 ? one looks like a s3 or C1 .

No C1s there, but several of those are S3s. They've got the bracket that lays the controller horizontally between the two hashing boards.

Use the heat to warm water that moves a turbin to make electricity

Or use this: http://gizmodo.com/5972587/thermoelectric-pipes-can-generate-electricity-from-hot-water  Grin

All low temp heat recovery systems provide such pitiful efficiencies that its just pointless. If they weren't, they'd be strapped to every server in the world.

No quite ... there a companies making a living out of it: https://www.cloudandheat.com/en/index.html

Building a settlement around something like an incinerator with heat recycling is a great way to help the environment, but its not something you can just decide to do. Its also entirely different from That's different from low temp heat -> electricity, they're just doing heat -> heat.

506  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs on: February 08, 2016, 11:10:47 AM
One major worry for anyone selling HW now is that there is a real chance that mining will flatline for a couple of years.

If it doesn't flat line then someone is doing something wrong.

508  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitfury: "16nm... sales to public start shortly" on: February 07, 2016, 07:31:45 PM
it's 14/16nm for sure but the question is who.
I don't think so ... I is just a massive sale of the Antminers going online now. BTW what happened to Spoondoolies beast .. SP50 (or whatever the name was).


Was probably just designs published to try and raise investments. That was back in September so if they had a chip order in we should have seen it by now.
509  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH on: February 06, 2016, 06:49:23 PM
Bitmain sells S7s for the price the market will buy at. Its capitalism 101. Don't be mad, its the way of the world that we live in.

Exactly. If the market rate went up or held (like in the SP20 vs S5 days) you wouldn't be complaining. Some people will win, some people will lose, this isn't Bitmain conspiring to get you.

1) Great way to get people scammed.
2) No.
3) This would not in the slightest make money.
511  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain Antminer S4 Setup [HD] on: February 06, 2016, 11:51:19 AM
Hi dogie,

Where do I go to find the tx/rx data on the s4?
I'm still having issues with my verizon hotspot for some reason its logging 3 to 4 times the data that it's transmitting but I need to prove it to them

I'm not really sure what you're asking. Have you got an example you can show me of what you want in another case?

If you go to the Network tab in an S3 you will see the data transfer real time log in tx/rx. I do not see this feature in the S4 Network tab and hoping there is a way to locate the tx/rx data usage log of the S4.

I guess you could find it via putty, but I would have zero idea of the commands required.

Thanks problem here all that is Greek to me...

CK might know, you can find him in his cgminer thread.

At the moment you only need 1 post per potential activity to turn it into activity. Or looking at it from the other way, you only get a maximum of 1 potential activity per day). Because the average person posts 5-10x as much as this, it means that "activity" isn't measuring any form of activeness, but just of how old the account is.

For example:
Account with 1500 potential activity and 1500 posts = 1500 activity
Account with 1000 potential activity and 50000 posts = 1000 activity

Is having an older account really a better metric when its capped at 1 potential activity a day?
Well your argument does make sense. Someone who has not used his account for a long time could easily jump-start the activity by posting. This is what I also dislike and this is what makes the metric invalid for me. What is your proposal exactly though?

The simplest fix which could be tried first is to increase the level of potential activity per day such that your number of posts actually becomes relavent. Ie 5-10x what it is now. Then you would inflate the level requirements by the same amount to prevent inflation.

Ie for accounts of the same age from the previous example:

Account with 7500 potential activity and 1500 posts = 1500 activity
Account with 5000 potential activity and 50000 posts = 5000 activity
513  Other / Meta / Re: What's above Legendary? on: February 05, 2016, 02:05:56 PM
I'd still prefer a rework/uncapping/higher cap per day to the activity than just more tiers. Ie someone can be on 10k posts or 1k posts and have the same activity - it doesn't make sense.
Care to elaborate further? I'm not sure what you are trying to suggest here.

as it performs as advertised with the typical real-world specs when sold.

Which is why I exist around here. Consumers need protection the from unscrupulousness, probably even more so now that we have a mix of hyper-corporations and OEMs.

AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You should take that act on the road.

What is your problem now, and is it Bitfury related?

As with many things: If you have to ask the question the answer is probably no.

The chances of your voting system being used for evil is high.

Wonder how I'd rank on here.

I'm not sure, I'm not a fan of adding the smaller OEMs on the current system. (like Yiazo) because the size criteria doesn't count string enough. A company like Bitfury - with otherwise identical performance - is far less likely to run off with your money without recourse. 9 points doesn't really do that justice.
