Just noticed a trend in Meta of people getting locked out of account for resetting and using secret question.  It will actually lock your account do to security and you have to get admin and prove ownership, so a pain for you and admins.  I'm hoping posting this here will slow the number of these we see in meta.

I take no credit as far as figuring it out read more here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1206977.0 

I just figured it would be good to have here and hopefully save a few members some time.

The question I don't get is why do it at all.  I am doing nothing illegal, so I feel safe.  I don't care if exchange knows one of my address's.  It honestly does not hurt me.

If trying to make untraceable I just trust myself more then anyone else.  Weather it be currency or a service like a mixer.  With altcoin you can lose value or gain, highy depends if you are holding it.  BTC recently had a nice jump up.  So by holding in BTC I feel more safe value wise.

And if I wanted to be untraceable. I would mine through a known proxy or vpn that does not keep logs.  Some pools you can mine straight to address no signing up.  So you can do it all yourself.  

So why count on others to do it when you can do it all yourself?  I personally would feel better doing it myself then someone else doing it or even holding alt currency,

There must be a miss-communication.  As we see a coinomat sig on someone who is not full member.  So I'm guessing they read fast and saw member possibly.

But full member is biggest pay jump.  You could honestly work on posing and quality till then and it will pay off a LOT later down the line when you go to join one of the big signature campaigns.  Some get to worried about joining one right away.  And honestly some activity levels just don't pay much.

If there is a database someone could give up I don't consider that a untraceable option.  If you want untraceable you should not have logs.  There have been many places that people thought would not share but if right 3 letter agency shows up a lot of things change.

I still think mining a new coin, and sending to a new address is the best cheapest way.  You can run through proxy or VPN with no logs.  And mine to it if done properly no one should know who it is just see coins in a address.

I don't see point of bringing in mixers or other services when you can do it all yourself.  And trust yourself 100 percent.

With some settings this is very true.  For example networking modify wrong one, or wrong settings it becomes possible to make it not talk on the network.  Luckily a reset can fix a lot of things on most BM miners.

When you change networking setting it should be like that old motto "Measure twice and cut once".  If you are not sure double check or even ask on forum.

It shows promise.  I'm not sure if Bitmain supports this kinda open project community or if they did not want to spend money to try to harden R1 where it could not be modded.  I kinda think we are lucky that they would have to spend time and money building and testing a more secure software on only allowing official firmware and such.    I hope this continues through all their products so far they have all been left pretty wide open for community.

And the price of a R1 compared to a big miner makes it a easy choice to mod.  I don't mind a brick of small money, a brick on a 1k miner I would loose a little sleep over.  This I would not.

So I'm excited to play with it hopefully tomorrow.

I would agree I would make it clear difference from hot and cold wallet.  Warn if done wrong cold can be wrong.  But not teaching it really does not do much good for learning.

I would add a section about security and specifically hot vs cold wallets.  Even if they don't use it at first, I hope one day they do so they are safe.

Today was my favorite time off the week.  It's mining + signature campaign.  So a little fun money for doing the posting I would do anyways.

If used properly signature campaigns can be quite fun.  And mining I love so always will be doing that.

I personally don't find a need for mixer or being untraceable as I'm not doing anything wrong.  I understand some are paranoid and want to not be known that is understandable.  Exchanges in us for example must follow KYC or they are money laundering that is a pretty big crime if you do it wrong,so they have to know.

About as untrable as you get I think is mining.  They are new coins coming from a pool.  If you paid someone somehow to mine into a address for you.... hard to beat that as long as your payment to miner is not to traceable.  Or you could mine it yourself even through a proxy or something if completely paranoid.

The anwser is most do both.  Not all but some do.    It allows them to make miners in bigger batches so cheaper in price for them.  Plus they make a profit selling.  As a company that is a win/win if you can produce a miner for cheaper with more quantity and make a profit selling some off, and mining others.

Sadly some are scams so do your research.  But there are still a few good ones, you can decide that after research.   And no one can guarantee profit cloud or hardware.  If anyone guarantees profit they are lying.  Do your own ROI math.

There is not a set time.  I would email admins maybe twice a week.  If you do it to much it does not help.

Have you sent them a signed message form known BTC address?  Also did you use email that you registered with to send it (yes that helps).

You wont like  like it but only anwser is sit and wait.  It can take a while.

This should be true as it should not have a lot of electricity going through molex to fan.  You can buy a professional one cheap though:

One amazon 9 bucks from one molex to 6 fans: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007S3T4O0?keywords=molex%20to%20fan&qid=1445303953&ref_=sr_1_5&sr=8-5

I used two of these with C1's at a point they are as solid as it gets and works good.

What is not working?  Are you able to connect to them now?

We need more details to help.  You don't need a video.  Just describe it and show right screens in screenshot and post it here.

Thanks for explaining.  I love the honest answers and insight into the fab process. No other product shares like you do on fab, which is amazing to watch.

That does suck that someone being flaky is effecting your business.  It's hard when some people don't share priorities.   I like things to be done on time so going away for day's or weeks when owing me money would definitely get under my skin.

At first I dismissed this.  But I tried one with just power .... and it worked.  If they all would be power that is a interesting fix.   

I am going to just unplug power for next day or two and see my results.  If truly works I will consider you a genius.

Much better idea. Do not use a molex to PCIe if that was what you were talking about.  They just cannot handle that amount of power.



It should be good on the Lightning 1300.  It is their "premium" PSU and top of their line.  So it should be good if you get a bad one with it then it's a dud contact company they will replace.  It should be very good.

But you are right not all are the same.  They make some utter crappy PSU's in lower levels as show here - http://www.rosewill.com/products/21/14/395/0000/series.htm

I agree aswell read through it a few times at this point.  Seems like solid guide. 

I should get my R1 tomorrow so hopefully I can test it out then.

That is actually a nice PSU.  The maker does have different quality of PSU's.   The lightning 1300 I have one of and never had an issue it's running right now. The only part that scares me are you saying you will go from Molex to PCIe? Im guessing you mean that as PCIE to molex is not needed for S3. If it is molex to PCIE don't do it. 

Now if you look at the lower price Rosewill has some utter crap psu's.  The one PSU I burnt cord on was a cheap Rosewill the cords were just not up to par.

They do mention that is for pre-orders.   So they could hope to get big customers on pre-order.   Since 333 units is more of a data center order.

I'm hoping once it's truly out they lower the amount to order.  Guess we will wait and see.

I love my server PSU's at this point they are nice that lower cost.  But I really do love the RM1000 I have ROI'ed on a few so still have some i use.  I think it's my favorite some call it a gimmick but it really did get quiet.

I also liked the lightning 1300 for fun on one just as hit has very nice leds .   I just wish there was more options on a 9 PCIE cord PSU.  I think if I went to most computer store and told them I need 9 separate PCIe cords it would be funny to see response.  Wonder how long of reading boxes before they say they don't have anything.
