I dunno if this is in the right section or not, so if it isn't, feel free to tell me, or report so it'll be moved. Please understand I am going to sleep after I post this, thanks!
I have a solar powered laptop running windows 10 and I just made my own altcoin for fun( why? to find blocks. The joy of finding blocks is just too great). How do I set up nodes? I have no idea how to.

I have just invested in hashflare, everything is going good. I don't care if it's a ponzi or not, no risk no reward. Sure, the maintenance fee is a bit high, but the fun part is you get to change pools to find different rewards. This makes all the difference from other pools. That's the one thing that hashflare is different from than other places, and I plan to stay and invest more in the future if hashflare remains stable. Great service, I would give 9/10 for now.

Actually, bitshopper is a licensed EU manufacturer. He builds and sells, rather than buys and resells.
Sorry! Thanks for correcting me. Haven't checked the info about gekkos for a while. I remembered that they resold, but in reality they build. |

Looks like to me EU has more stickminers (just looking on amazon with their fancy little 8+ gh bitfury sticks). I kind of wish I lived in the EU now.. it must be a great place for (some) stickminers. Here in the US all you have are gekkos, overpriced bitfury sticks, overpriced antminer sticks, and overpriced block erupter sticks.
Thanks for the answer. Which stick miner would you recommend? Gekko 8+Ghs Best place to get it? EU or international Depends. Resellers can go from super overpriced to a mere 20 euros. These guys are resellers and sell the latest (and last) batch of gekkos. https://www.bitshopper.de/shop/sha-256-miner/usb-miner-bitcoin/gekkoscience-compac/ |

 Hello Is making new bitcoin faucet is profitable ? Thank you . Big nope. Fuacets are never profitable, only faucets owner and faucets rotator are profitable. Better you stop earn bitcoin from faucets, because it's really wasted your time. I don't think you understand at all. This guy wants to make a new faucet and is asking if it is profitable. Yeah it is, if you put up enough ads at low enough satoshi reward. Probably not, though. Faucetbox is your best bet for faucets. |

I'd bump this just to keep this up for other people wondering about what a node is. Great information on your part. Unfortunately the reality of life is that data centers DO host miners, and also companies are moving towards having their own data centers with their own chips. Heck, there are probably chips that exist out there that we dont know about. its all a mystery:)

I didn't know you can really some bitcoin using twitter. Thanks for the info everyone.  It's generally more than a signature campaign will ever pay you (for me, though, I tend to earn more from a campaign). Keep in mind that there are also ways to be banned from a twitter campaign, so don't spam or crap. |

I finally decided to upgrade my S3+ to an S5 because I found one used for about what I paid for my S3+ used. I only run 1 machine at home due to electricity costs, and new hardware is just too expensive for me to justify buying for a hobby.
Question: I've scanned through several threads but cannot find a simple, definitive answer to "the best" fan(s) to use. I want it to be quieter than the 70db stock fan, but I want it to stay cool, too (about 25*C ambient). Could anyone recommend me a fan or push/pull fan combo to use? Thanks.
If noise is not a BIG issue, then try these. http://www.centrix-intl.com/details.asp?Parent2ID=1&productid=13257&gclid=Cj0KEQiAxrW2BRCFidKbqKyq1YEBEiQAnMDWxqwAlFvsRE32V0jYyad3sjzCFVa1jWH8zmjNMEpnlRsaAi1Z8P8HAQI use this on my single S5 and it's comparable to the S7 fan. Very similar design but EXTREMEMEMELY good cooling. Centrix makes really good fans, generally. Great for the price and a really high rpm PWM fan for the price. To compare, most pwms at 20$ only go up to ~2000. This goes to 4500. |

I've just finished an enclosure for 2 S5's (Thermaltake Core X5 with 2 Titanium power supplies). They're running a 140mm Noctua 3,000rpm fan in the front (running at 2,400 rpm at 88% power) and a SilverStone FHP-141 v.2 (on Performance mode, 2,000 rpm) in the rear (to reduce noise). They've been running about an hour overclocked at 375M (1,240 GH/s avg. each), it's about 80 degrees F. in the room. They're running at about 61-62 degrees C. 1 HW error each (0.0001%). Both pulling about 1,280 watts on 230v (includes 6 additional case fans and a fan controller, the temp. probe shows it's about 30 degrees C in the case). These have been slightly modded with heatsinks added to the boards and they're in acrylic enclosures.
80 degrees in your room? Wow. Fans must be pretty loud even on performance mode. I run my 1 S5 in the garage at 85F though, and I can't afford to overclock at all. It's a miracle your S5 isn't putting out more HW errors than that. |

We're mining ourselves to oblivion.Even when quantum computing comes out, it wont be much help as algorithms like sha256 just dont work as well. Efficiency will eventually peak and we'll start seeing a transition from regular mining to solar and wind powered mining. Efficiency will peak eventually and when that happens, we'll start turning to "free" power sources and hashrate will be all over the place.

leowonderful = +1.43
My sources tell me that the hashrate will soon cumback and we'll be seeing business as usual. Y'alls predictions all wrong. Negative? pfft.

The 21 ASIC chip itself good, with relatively low power to hash ratios. Bad thing is as all of the people above said, it's a raspberry pi with an asic that cost them about 60$ to make and resells to us for 400$. Bitfury lightbulbs and any appliance would never work because it would simply provide too low of a hashrate to ever profit. There's no real point either; its not like the electricity is free, and its not like the air circulation for an ASIC is better inside a lightbulb.
Both of these things are novelties and will never become mainstream enough to have a impact on the bitcoin community. Meanwhile, we're seeing the mining hashrate move from home miners to private companies making their own superpowerful asics and data centers. We're screwed and nothing will help us.

CPU mining for bitcoin became defunct 4 years ago. On average you will earn 1 cent worth of bitcoin for every $1000 dollars worth of electricity you dedicate to bitcoin mining.
In short: Don't even try.
Sums it up perfectly. In other words, unless you like the smell and taste of capacitor popcorn and fried cpus, please don't try. Your computer is begging you to stop. Besides the load of the pc, running cpuminer will shorten your computer's life. Heat is a processor's worst enemy. |

It's not my job to say anything officially, but someone higher up the food chain has been working and it looks like Bitfury actually likes my project idea so it's looking more possible now that it'll actually happen. Got a lot of design and prototyping to do before anything's for sure, but it looks more possible. So that's pretty exciting. Don't ask me for details on the politics of anything, because I don't know. Like I said, someone higher up the food chain's doing the talking.
That's not surprising. Bitfury has always been fond of stickminers from the BPMC Red Fury to the Nano or Twin or Ice. Even the Hex-Fury! I just think it's weird how Bitfury just loves stickminers... |

Does Bitmain have the NEW S9 fully developed and installed in their Farm?
When would they be releasing the S9 to the public?
Intriguing thoughts!
What are your thoughts?
BITMAIN, you are welcome to chime in.
im very sure they will release kind of s7+ first... maybe 10THs @ ~2000w to sell more BM1385´s IMO they will release S8/S9 only when an competitioner like Bitfury is selling more efficient Chips. There's almost a 100% possibility that they will. They could (probably will) create a rackmount "S8" miner next with BM1385 chips. The rackmounts are made mostly, imo, to offload the amount of last-gen chips they have. Look at the S2 and S4. Both last gen chips, with barely improved power useage. |

Miners are beginning to shift away from home mining (almost completely, in fact). Miners are getting louder and louder and require more cooling and the reality is that most miners are simply not meant to be in a home
anymore. Yeah, we can fan mod these miners and crap, but the miners we see today are more meant for places like data centers.

I have been thinking about the same thing for this campaign too. I'm always thinking that today or tomorrow campaign moderator will say the same thing to us about poor quality posts, but thankfully we haven't face it yet, but you are right. This can happen any time, as there are too many users on this campaign who post nothing but shit for just increasing their post count in the campaign earnings.
Hi, I came from that "another signature campaign" and I think its fair enough to say that hilariousandco's decision create quite a stir on our thread. But surprisingly I found it is necessary because we are also aware that there are a lot of spammers on the signature and we got a slow but sure impact from those spammers that numbers keep growing. And to share you my thought, I actually think yobit is also vulnerable for forced-spamers-cleaning action from any moderators because yobit also accept new participants without considering their posts beforehand. Yes, yobit sig campaign managers should also do something against spammers that are earning for their meaningless posts everywhere on the forum, campaigns should be cleaned and should have no spammers so that no one say that sig campaigns are bad for the forum. Yobit is both good and bad. Yobit offers new members a way to earn some bitcoin for quality posts without the hassle of waiting sometimes days and days just to get into a signature campaign. The bad news is that spammers are indeed flooding the campaign and now the yobit signature is somewhat looked down upon. Mods of this campaign should consider posts before and after joining the campaign, but still letting people join automatically. That way the versatility of the campaign still exists but spammers will be removed quickly and efficiently. |
