As enthusiastic as I am about a contest to maximize a stick, I don't know that I'm up to it now. I found these comments in the stick support thread- meech - steadily running @300mhz 7.2 v adj. @ 1.52a with 4 hashing about 16-17ghs edonkey's getting 16GH @306 Mhz chig reports running at 400 Mhz with no errors in 24hrs (no hash rate mentioned) phillipma1957- I did run at 400 and got 22gh but was pulling over 2.1 amps or just about ten watts a stick. (and i bet if phil unplugged the other 19 sticks in his stud(ly) hub, he could shoot lightning bolts into a stick and manage to keep it alive for 24 hrs.) and this- Did you see we jacked one up a bit yesterday and got it to 488MHz? Most of the high-power parts were actually still stock. Keep an eye on sidehack, he might just want to win one of his sticks back. I'm excited to see it happen for 24 hours. I have not modified my hub so I know my chances of winning are slim. But just to watch this for 24 hours if someone jacks it up and runs it for a entire day will be impressive as heck. |

i bought sidehacks compac sticks for batch 2.
i will be working on porting cgminer-gekko but he said they should already work.
Should be possible to port mainline cgminer to it so that it can run all types of USB miners. This item has a TON of potential on modding. We are just starting to see the first ones. It will be a interesting ride on the modding. I predict we see a cgminer for others usb modules. We have seen ports on other bitmain miners where they update cgminer. So there is already history of this happening, so should be very doable. I think modding will be part of the fun with these R1's. We kinda owe bitmain for not locking down any device, and we can void warranty on these things for not a huge risk. So another Day in the Life of the R1 Community. It's interesting to see the number connected, 112 at the moment, and still There are 0 miners dug 0 bitcoins  Yes Modding is the big draw for me. OpenWRT has so much support that things can happen very quickly. As well as supporting other USB Miners, given that it supports a single BM1384 I wonder for instance if it could be used as a Controller for an S5 Hash Board? Although it has been written off by many as a useless Toy I think that a few generations down the line this could be looked back on as being a breakthrough device. Let's hope the concept takes off and they follow up with an R2 with the BM1385 Chip. Rich I didn't think about the possibility of this being able to be a controller, maybe they will make that a standard option in future miners. I got my R3 today (thanks CrazyGuy!). But so far it's really fun to play with. It seems to be a good controller for U3's. I have 3 hooked up to it right now no issues. I will test it and see how it goes. So far I'm very happy with it. |

If someone corners the market by hoarding pods from a bucket of trade-ins, within a few weeks I'll have turned those trade-ins into between two and three times as many pods.
Also, the only people that should profit from this venture are not GekkoScience, but GekkoScience and its customers. If we're the only ones coming out ahead, that means the product is not worth buying.
A company that cares about its customers investments.... this is part of why I really like your products. Some companies do not share this mentality to say the least. I am excited about these Pods though. I think it will be another fun toy and if you do the same as compac's it was amazing the efficiency you got. So cant wait to see that. |

I should have listened to my hunch. If what wolfen says is true - I'm going to cancel & get a refund......these things are too expensive to be messed about by bitmain shipping delay nonsense.
Don't know if you will be able to based on price they say below: The price of bitcoin mining machines must be adjusted frequently according to many factors, including BTC/USD exchange rate, the network difficulty, and expected difficulty increase. Refund requests based on price changes cannot be honored. Also: All sales are final. No refunds will be given. Defective machines can be repaired for free under the Bitmain warranty policy. After the warranty period, machines can be repaired for the cost of parts and labor. Both are on the sales page: https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=000201509290954354994vrQh8di06E6So I would honestly be surprised if you got a refund. I think they will avoid refunds at all cost. If they allowed it everyone would want BTC back and re-order. But I could be wrong. |

Last thing to keep in mind, if your PSU is pulling 1200watts at the wall, its not running 300watts per pci-e, since you need to deduct the watts wasted by the PSU conversion and also the fan's usage.
Partly correct. The fan usage DOES come out of one or more of those PCI-E connectors (I think it's probably split between 2 of them, but haven't pulled my SP20 apart long enough to actually check it). DON'T count on 1.7 TH - you have to have a very cold room to even have a prayer of achieving that. 1.3-1.4 TH range is achieveable easily even in somewhat warm rooms though, and is quite a bit more efficient to achieve. Do NOT under any circumstances try to run 2 connectors from one cable, unless it is a VERY custom cable with something on the order of 12AWG wiring. SP20 does not have wireless. Standard twisted-pair Ethernet only. The official spec on the MOLEX connectors that the PCI-E power specification uses works out to 288 watts per connector (the pins are rated more, but have to derate for use in that particular connector style). Exceeding this tends to lead to issues like the KnC Neptune and some Titans had with MELTED connectors and resultant fire and damage-to-unit risk. Most power supplies use 18AWG on their PCI-E connections - this is plenty for a SINGLE connector at 225 watts (per the PCI-E spec), it gets a bit marginal at 288 watts. I wonder, what is the highlighted based on? I run Sp20E very downclocked at ~1200Gh using ~640-650W at the wall from a single Corsair CX750M, which has 2 split PCIE cords providing 4 required connectors. The cords or connectors never exceeded 45C and I have a lazer temperature probe. I grant you that you have to first connect a more powerful PSU (like EVGA 1300) or two CX750, then change settings on the machine to downclock, check power usage, achieve stable hash and then optionally changeover to a single CX750, but it is doable. I run a machine like this for almost 9 mo with no problems whatsoever. I'm doing the same thing. I have been running underclocked for quite a while now. It just made sense. The 1.7 I don't care how cold you won't get this. But for everyone except "free" electricity it makes much more sense to underclock you make more BTC mining this way on SP20 Jackson. I have never had issues with PCIe cable's. But I have had nice PSU's on my miners and always been careful. |

I think that the main problem with bitcoin mining is its block size limit. The network won't increase the limit but will continue to increase the difficulty (somehow) and will reduce the payments. (Apparently by around June next year the reward will half).
You can speculate all day long and we don't know what will happen at having. Us miners hope BTC goes up in value (which it has been doing). But it's so hard to say. I mean by having they might have a miner with 2x the efficiency of today... we don't know. Factors like better miners, higher btc value, among other things could make having not bad. Or it could suck and be horrible.... we just don't know. |

*edited to make not so long.
Also his value is not near the price on Avalon 4.1's. I still am waiting to see where he got the 200 number.
For that price it would be a bargain. I have never seen one near this for sell.
I bought mine when people were liquidating their miners for s7's (300$ s5's shipped) and paid 1.4btc for mine, 200$ would be insane deal for a 4.1 That is why I asked where he got this number. Honestly I hope I'm wrong and he can show me some 200 USD Avalon 4.1's. But I don't think it will be happening. If they truly were 200 USD I would be adding some new miners to my collection at that price.... |

Got my R1 today. Really neat new toy to play with. Have it up and running with CrazyGuy's amazing firmware.
Have 3 U3's hooked up to it. It's working perfect right now! I'm really liking this device.

< 3 months old < 300 bullets put through it Excellent condition Original box, case, packaging, accessories and documents included Originally purchased brand new at Cabelas MSRP is $900, I'm asking $690 http://www.beretta.com/en-us/92-vertec-inox/The Beretta 92 series is a solid gun. I enjoy mine it is a nice addition to a collection. I think the MSRP is a tad high don't think you will find anyone selling for that. But great gun that is for sure. |

Not sure, there were multiples starting oct 3 I think. Ordered and paid.
Was selling s5's to get cash for s7's. Bought all batch two starting october after buying batch ones beginning of sept, they are sending batch 3 for 3 batch twos so far.
Are you saying that you purchased Batch 2 miners and Bitmain is shipping you Batch 3 miners instead? How do you know they're Batch 3 miners? I was told. Emailed. I dont know if i will be able to tell at all. Who emailed you this? You seem to be claiming a lot of firsts. First to report shipment, and now to claim batch 3 instead of 2. That almost sounds to good to be true on giving batch 2 batch 3 quality for same price. |

I heard many mixer services will make our transactions untraceable by using different bitcoin addresses. very much useful services.
Mixers are centralized third parties. This is not a trustless solution You can use different mixers and gambling sites to lower the probability of it getting linked together. You could potentially send it to a trustable mixer which delete logs but still it may be possible that they are keeping them.You can also exchange the Bitcoin to Monero using exchange A and send the monero to exchange B to withdraw. Many exchanges do not require verification. Sounds like a lot of work and on mixer your trusting someone else you have no idea who it is. I still think mining sounds like easiest way. Mine through a proxy or vpn you know does not keep log and mine directly to bitcoin address you want. It's a new coin so no real history but from pool sending it. |

Hi!
I set up bitcoin long time ago, and have 0 BTC. I just re-installed the Bitcoin-core and it is syncing; how do I add my account from the past? I have the public and private key written down.
Also, I would like to buy 0.1 BTC, will pay USD with $300 exchange rate, just for kicks. I'll pay cash in person to whomever is willing to meet me in NY - downtown or brooklyn - so I know how to do this...
Thanks!
You might look for Bitcoin Atm's I'm guessing in NY chances are there is one. Also look on local bitcoin for something like this. To be honest I doubt anyone will meet up for a .1 sell. You could buy online not in person much easier. Also this should chances are be put in another thread. |

How about if my current rate is 0.238$ then how much is s5? it will be profitable in my electrycity current rate?
With electric THAT bloody expensive, your probability of achieving RoI on ANY current or recent miner is pretty much zero - in fact, the ONLY currently available miner that would show ANY profit at all would be the S7 (possibly a SP20 if you clock it WAY down for max efficiency or an S5 if you can undervolt it enough - many S5s CAN NOT undervolt at all though), but you'll be spending so much on electric to feed the miner you'd never pay the thing off or even come close. NOTHING other than ASIC has a prayer of being profitable for Bitcoin mining - Pi don't use a lot of power but they would hash in the KILOhash/sec range, even slow ASIC are multi-digit GIGAhash/sec and current ones are pushing into the multi-TERRAhash/sec range. Your Pi would be trying to compete with the Thrust SSC in a max-speed race in your Model T Ford that has 2 cylenders not firing and thinking you have a chance of being competative. All current miners and most recent ones already have controllers built into them, no need for a Pi or similar to run them with. The Avalon 4.1 was LESS efficient than the Antminer S5, which was LESS efficient than the Spondoolies SP20 could be set up for (though the SP20 at stock settings was both a little faster and a little less efficient thatn the S5). I'd tend to ignore it unless you can get one VERY cheap ($200 or less + shipping). New miners have been anounced both by Lketc/BW and by Avalon - I'd wait a month or two for them to actually show up with real avaiability and pricing before I made a decision. Innosilicon also announced they achieved tapeout some months back on new gen SHA256 (A3) and Scrypt (A4) chips, and they have a history of building miners around their own chips - I expect to see something out of them at some point too, probably late this year or very early 2016. You obviously didn't read our post at ALL, no one said to mine off a pi but to stake with alt coins and also having the ability to reuse it as a controller for asics later. Also his value is not near the price on Avalon 4.1's. I still am waiting to see where he got the 200 number. For that price it would be a bargain. I have never seen one near this for sell. |

Will your amazon listing or any others possibly ship to US? I am interested in getting one to complete my set once you start shipping.
Just wondering what my options are as far as possibly getting one of these.

Dude it is impossible to make the transactions intraceable....  it's very possible you can read all post above you can choose 1 way of all tips to make untraceable transaction It might be described at hard to trace. I mean I think a lot that think they are untraceable if a government threw enough money and time twords finding them they could. I mean if someone is watching it's pretty easy to follow the chain once it starts being sent. There are a few way's like my favorite of anonymous mining that might make you untraceable on storage. When you go to use it you lose some of that being untraceable. And again I hope people are doing this as they don't want others online to see their holdings, or other legal reasons. The big issue with that is that like you said, as soon as you use it, you become traceable. Use eventually leads to personal identity -- whether you're using it for web hosting, to buy something, pay bills, etc. you create a trail at some point. Bitcoin was never made to be anonymous; it was made to be decentralized. I would agree once it's been used bitcoin is amazing with blockchain. It creates a trail. So you could have multiple BTC address's and keep some more anonymous. Blockchain technology is part of what makes bitcoin so great. So as long as you don't use it yes you could store BTC and remain unknown. Some would argue maybe a digital good you might be able to do and remain anonymous... and it could be true in some situations I guess. I just think it's a bit much to do for most if you are eventually going to use the BTC anyways. |

Hi Guys! I am probably just too dumb, but I have configured my CGMINER but it just won't start. It always tells me that it can't find no devices and that it wait's for an USB hotplug...  I just got a PC and Laptop that keeps running at my university for nothing (it has to be running) and I just want to use both for mining. Pls help! Cheers Stefan  Don't do this on your laptop. Honestly you will thank me later on. You are not going to be mining much with cpu at all. Pushing a laptop CPU is not good longterm they just don't have the cooling as desktops have. They are not meant for high intensity 24x7. I would not risk it and keep the laptop for just regular use. And after you mine with desktop you will see CPU will make you barely anything. |

I don't know if there's a best site.
I suggest researching it. My personal first thing is hardware, I would verify hardware as this get's rid of a LOT of the crap sites. They just don't have any proof of hardware. Next I suggest looking at history. Read about it and other peoples experiences on the board. And third make sure they don't use things that are too good to be true. This sounds stupid but it honestly is a good idea. If it say's like "lifetime", "forever", etc. Chances are it's to good to be true no miner lasts forever. They have a timeline depending on efficiency, and charges. But research these and you can cut down a lot. I personally don't push people into investment as I have said many time's I make 0 no matter what you choose on cloud mining. I just push for research before investing I think for most you will end up with just a few sites after above. But feel free to add other ways to investigate if you have them I would love to have more good ideas. |

i removed it compeltely a long time ago, because bitcointalk itself, was pointing me about the dangerous part of having one
i just write down my pass on a A4 paper, which is not hackable, and i'm done
I always warry of doing this, so i don't instead i write down a reminder sequence that will let me rebuild the password safely, but without being me or going through massive efforts, its not possible to just check my drawer to find my password. I figure if i leave home for a while or lose my wallet, i don't want to have to change my passwords too. A piece of paper is honestly pretty hard to beat, just a little bit of a pain if you need it as it should be stored in safe or something. But if you combine paper and code only you know you are right that is pretty much unhackable, only if keylogger or something then it could be taken from other things. I really like some of the 2FA things out there. I have been looking at a few devices thinking about trying it on a site or two. I want to give a yubikey a try but haven't yet - https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/ |

On hub it was in a different language I did not translate. Main thing to look at is power it provides to each port or overall. You want a good amount of power.
According to the specs it looks as if this hub can deliver up to 3A per port. Regards, Jeff. You might want to double check that 3A per port. I think it's the power supply that does 3A. This is honestly the best comparsion on hubs still. I'm sure there are some other ones not on list but here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253749.0You can look at all those hubs. And a modded hub could go higher. I personally have not modified any of my hubs though. |

philip
you are putting a lot of time in this.
this contest is not for a prize Im doing this just for the lulz and because I love hardware, and love competition. if I dont smoke at least one chip into a puddle slag with this well, its not true competition in my eyes. ill order more
thank you but please dont think you have to do this
bro don't you think the prize has to be wait for it :  a compac stick I cant think of a more perfect prize then that! Seems to fit perfect with this group. Thanks again for all your work you are doing with group. |
