No problem. I do have a second batch in the works. I'm not sure what the holdup on MacEntyre's sticks is at present; the last I heard from him, I expected him to be selling any day now. He's had trouble with the fab house screwing things up, ordering the wrong parts or PCBs coming in broken. That's another reason (besides being a self-sufficient cheapskate by nature) I prefer in-house manufacturing, is if something goes wrong I am probably better equipped to solve the problem than anyone else, being as I designed the thing I'm trying to put together. I made it a priority specifically to have the time and set aside the resources to build a manufacturing infrastructure, but not everyone is able to do that so a fab house is usually the way to go.
No worries I'm not pushing for second batch to be shipped. I know it will come when it comes. I'm just curious what are the main parts we are waiting on? I just was curious as far as if there was big ticket items holding it back, or bunch of small cheaper items. I like to understand the process better on fab. Which you thread has done for me so I thank you very much for that. |

-1.51% to -1.75% Questor
I can dream, right?!
yes you can. and not to crush a dream but https://blockchain.info/blocks379678 (Main Chain) 2015-10-19 22:58:15 379517 (Main Chain) 2015-10-19 00:00:44 162 blocks today with 1 hour left Bitwisdom slowly going up: Bitcoin Difficulty: 60,883,825,480 Estimated Next Difficulty: 62,215,600,618 (+2.19%) Adjust time: After 1342 Blocks, About 9.0 days Hashrate(?): 446,987,746 GH/s I wonter if we will see a little bit each day of S7's. I wish we could run a scrypt or something and see all miners in air. I think there must be quite a few on batch one about to owner. And 2/3 really have not been talked about much. Price is pretty good going up to around 265. If we can get a solid slow upward trend it would be nice. |

take a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOyrCut0y30also you can rise the miner on some stands and put other 2 fans under it. total of 6 fans for a quiet miner problem will be that the controller wants its own high rpm fan Very interesting idea to turn idea. Problem I see is that still did not sound quiet. I think you would have to do a mixture of low sound fans. Since they are lower RPM then regular S5 fan it will take multiple. At one time there was a 3d printing set to make the S5 have a enclosed case. I wonder if you could 3d print one and add fans from bottom to top. Use quiet and push from bottom and pull from top. And quiet on front/ back of miner. Only thing is that is a lot of quiet fan's so would add up on cost. |

Bit x cloud ,someone said 1ghs gives around 130 satoshis,soo these value are fixed or volatil?And the roi calculated at btc is around 3 years.Altcoins get pumped and dumped if lucky the coins mined can turn into profit but well is a shot in the dark the same way as rent and wait to roi .
I don't know current price. If you sign into Bit-x you can see the hash market. I suggest taking a look at it if interested. I would not base it off what someone say's. There is a lot of info that is crap to be honest. But do some research and see what you think. I know I have trusted 2 sites with a little on cloud. But I always say don't let me push you into it. Well im member of there already ,but not interested at all at cloud since i know that is almost impossible ro roi,if the website doesnt allow you to resell the hash to others,i had used cex.io and well i were able to roi since the hash market is like bitcoin up and down. Bit-X has a hash market. I don't know the most about it as I have not sold it. But it has open buying and selling. So I would think you could sell. But I am still a lot bigger in hardware as I enjoy to tinker. I have a little in the "cloud" but not tons. |

The big fact is who were at bitcoin mining on the start made some good income and most had roi on that time,nowadays the roi is hard to achieve but,not impossible as bitcoin keeps getting more value,and well it should keep growing slowly.Soo mine now can be a small profir or return montly,but on the next months or years it can turn into the roi thats why bitcoin has soo many interest on it.
Keep in mind selling rig in the end. A lot don't consider this in ROI. So technically if you get enough to pay off rig and sell you get a decent profit most of time. But yest it takes certain electricity pricing. Mining is far from dead though. |

My payment did not go out at normal time. Could use help please  Fixed! Thanks macro and bitcoinboy. Really is best campaign around, I have been part of it for around 7 and 1/2 month! Don't find many campaigns like this out there, to be in same campaign 7 months is nice. |

Well, 3xU3 give me enough BTC so I can actually pay for something I have a bunch of 333Mhs and they're still running for fun, because the fractions of BTC they make will never be useful. The U3 will pay for themselves if not the electricity they use (i'll post a screenshot of their power usage tomorrow as I monitor them closely) when I say stick miner I'm saying like the Compacs where you can get 16 GH with very little power used. Not the 333 old asic miners. 1 of these Compacs can be ran at speed of almost 50 of the 333 MHs old usb sticks. |

Today i know is the best safeist bitcoin wallet note online. I will suggest coinbase because you have a very secured vault to transfer your coins in 48 hrs .... than the others....
i don't like how with coinbase you're 100% tracked, if you hold something, there and also i suspect there are fee for retiring your fund, better to stick with local wallet dunno why people can't handle them bitcoin was meant for to be used by you only, not by a third party also... The tracked part does not bother me as I do nothing with it worth hiding. They would be bored to tears with mine. But most of mine comes from mining... so really it's pretty good as far as not being tracked, I could mine into any BTC address an start a wallet. A cold wallet still beats coinbase I think. But coinbase is a good one no doubt about it. But paper wallet and hardware wallet I still think are the winners. I know your I am not doing anything wrong argument but tracking still worries the s**t out of me. What will happen in the future if even the people that did nothing wrong get these tracking informations misused? Our society is slowly turning into a tracking mania and all of this thanks to the technology, smartphones, Internet, GPS, etc.. And I just hate this! Honestly you are just way to worried about it if your not doing something illegal. If doing something illegal... yes worry for sure. But with legal use I don't see some huge operation tracking my info and seeing me spend BTC. And again if there is one ... they are wasting their time on me since no illegal stuff so I'm not worried. |

Well, you could always tap into your neighbor's line.... that would probably be the cheapest. But other than that, the cheapest may be to start a company and register as commercial. Most places have a preferential commercial rate. Obviously this has other overhead costs as well. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
That's kinda common here on our country (mostly known as jumper) especially on most of the squatters areas, actually it's free of cost but its illegal (you can bribe policemen here though whenever you've been caught  ) and they are more likely prone to fire. I've heard that's what also some miners here on country do cuz electricity here was so expensive. What country are you in? Seems crazy to screw around with the meters. Let alone add theft to it. Are you saying they are just bypassing the meters? Scary stuff. I'm from the Philippines and that scary stuff was pretty common here We are living on a poor country with high cost electricity so that poor people used to do that just to have an electricity, not only poor people. Also people that can afford to pay electricity do it just to have some savings on their income. Thanks for telling story about it OP. Interesting to say the least. Hard to imagine people doing this. You could not pay me enough to work on live wire bypassing a meter for safety reasons. Let alone the legal reasons on not doing it. |

mining if you have free electric  Free electricity doesn't mean it's profitable. You're burning up your video card/CPU at the same time. Factor in those costs. when i was instamining alt in the past, it was basically with free electricity, because i was mining for 5 min and then repeat for another coin, and it was everything but not profitable also if well cooled, usually custom gpu are the best, you can be assured that your gpu would last very long, and anyway gpu are not like asic, they have warranty... This is one edge of gpu mining: the warranty of the card itself. Nowadays, altcoins mostly are GPU-dependent on their algorithms thus making GPU mining profitable (if in case these coins hit the exchanges). Also, a few cards would probably give you some profit if you mine a low-difficulty coin already out in the exchanges, it's also a plus if you got a cheap electricity. Actually GPU mining is done at a loss in most cases these day's. Finding a new coin with low diffiulty with value is not a everyday thing. And even if you make money chances of having ROI on card are pretty much zero. It's the days of Asics now. GPU's just are to expensive to run. |

I looked seriously at cloud mining for a while as a potential investment, but came to the conclusion that they were either ponzis, resellers, or legitimate ventures that want to raise capital (there is no other reason to sell profitable hashpower) and have control over how much interest they were prepared to pay.
None of those situations appeal to me.
So, you are not only against cloudmining.website, but also against any cloud mining website? afaik, there are only three well proven to be legit, clouds, hashnest bit-x and genesis mining, the other are pure scam and nothing else None of those so called legit services provide payment history. Nor do they provide their mining address and sold hash power in real time. But, www.cloudmining.website at least provide their payment history and they are paying for almost a year now. Hence, it is my favourite miner. I just received another payment from them. Anyone can verify that on the blockchain... https://blockchain.info/tx/17385ac56805f91adf1d65c9b15b9bed22018d08739cc5d5e7865e099b59a087are you kidding, hashnest is the most trusted cloud mine out there, they have a shitload of experience in mining and i think you're joking, because you can't be serious about the reliability of your site, you're also carrying a nice -2 in trust, who the hell can trust you? Trust me don't even try to ask for facts. I asked for equipment they use or a verification from a manufacture and he each time does not anwser but tries to say something bad about me. I still want to see equipment verification that is more important to me then a weekly payout as a payout really does not show it was mined and not ponzi. But I have given up with him. Chances are he will attack you and even me for posting this in a post. There are legit sites. I as always suggest for people to research any investment especially cloud mining. You should not be pushed into buying. But do some research find a company you feel comfortable with. Then after that work on ROI see if it's a fit for you. |

why not? they can always click the link on the quote to find the real quoted post.
having this in mind,how is possible to have a fake quote? well ofc people can be confused while they didn't check if the quote link is wrong, but after someone check it, there is not a possible confusion. btw, if i find something like that that only want to hurt, i will press the report button faster than the speed of light  , this is what everybody should do. It is from typing in the message when you quote it. It uses text in your post it does not go to post you quote, so you could edit it. Doing it to change into a fake quote is bad and I highly suggest not doing it. It does come in handy though on the ability to edit quotes. Like in miner picture threads you can edit picture out and save a ton of space. This way you don't have multiple of same picture in posts right together. So there are good uses of this. But unfortunately sounds like a bad use OP dealt with. |

I use 3x Antminer U3 (60Ghs) and a BFL 30Ghs on a Raspberry Pi2 running minera. I believe the U3 has a much better cost/production ration than the USB stick And I live n France too :p They are cheaper then USB sticks on price per GH. This is true. I like the U3 it would be even better if I could get rid of zombie's. But sticks like the compac are much more efficient, so you can run them with very little cost over a long period of time. But the reduced Ghs of the stick along with the increase in block difficulty means they'll never pay for themselves The U3 is just a bit better as you can actually get enough BTC to use. Zombies are a non issue if you restart them once a day, which is cheap and easy with a programmable power plug  You can run some ROI math but a U3 I don't see paying for itself. It is like 1 watt per ghash I think somewhere around there. So it does have a cost although if mining with one or two doubt you notice much of a increase in electricity. But it is hard to ROI on small miners due to cost per GH. |

Hi Everyone,
I love the idea of running my S5 at home but HOLY crap! This is a loud unit and it runs hot! I was able to make the unit Wi-Fi and I can but it anywhere but simply the unit is just too loud for in house use. I can't but it in the garage because that has no air flow.. I am thinking of selling everything for $371 any ideas? I would love to keep it but I have no idea..
If you sell on forum that would be twords the high side if in US. That is closer to a ebay price before fees taken out and shipping. Your other option is to mod the fan. Or even add 1 more and do push/pull with 2 quieter fans. But it is a hot unit, you can underclock it to help. But if ran at standard spec it just is a loud hot machine. |

Bad News:U3 zombied out after a couple days on the R1. Although it started back up with a cgminer restart and no need to unplug usb. May be an easy scripting solution... Good News:I've added a configuration page for the R1 pools, so changing pools should be a bit easier than manually editing the startup script. I'll work on the R1 stats page tonight.  Few days is not bad. I love the configuration page you added! I can't wait to play with mine. Thanks for doing this group! *Edit I don't see that in thread on R1 unless I'm missing it. How did you add that screen? I had to edit the Luci interface. I'll provide an updated firmware for my customers this week. That sounds great! I should get mine tomorrow and should be able to play with it. Thanks for looking into mods. That looks sweet on the configuration page. |

Ow this is very unique pc and it can save alot of current... But i think i dont need it because i have a laptop... and i just want the miner as my extra income while doing something in my laptop... Honestly I would look into the RPI 2. You get a LOT of computing power for your money. And takes very little to run. Only thing is you need to be conformable with linux. Which is not to bad (there is a windows version for PI I have not used it yet). But not messing with drivers with cgminer I really like linux after you get use to it. |

Ow nice for the link i saw the how to do overclicking the usb asic miner.. thank for this sir.. This extra another income for me... You will need to have decent power, most use a powered hub to get this. Also use a Y-USB connetor ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/221661361513?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT ) Allows twice the power as 1 usb cord would. Use the compac-cgminer and it's pretty simple from there. I would suggest a little fan if you are doing this to push air. |

The Electrician just finished up and left after he installed a 30 slot box with 5 slots still open, finally got my 220 30 amp line hocked up to the PDU with monitoring , it's awesome . I had a 220 30 amp put in a while back but didn't feel safe with it, so it never got used, i was using a few 120 20 amp lines, because of the mess the main box was in, now I feel a lot safer . , will use it. Nice the S5's run better . cya I think you are about to fall in love. 220/240 is so nice on the amount of power it has. Having a PDU and some devices on it really is great. I don't see myself installing any more 120. If I need any more I will do 240 again. but hopefully my mining area does not need any more wires ran for a bit. |

Hashrate(?): 442,544,990 GH/s
Monday is a delivery day. So will be interessting to see some S7's possibly hit peoples door. Price is hanging around 262, so not bad. Hopefully a slow nice incline in price.
And here's the difficulty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSLlZh9yelkIt's about midday so far not a big spike on bitwisdom: Bitcoin Difficulty: 60,883,825,480 Estimated Next Difficulty: 61,898,624,915 (+1.67%) Adjust time: After 1372 Blocks, About 9.2 days Hashrate(?): 444,236,570 GH/s Maybe after work we will see some upwards movement. I am thinking in mail it has to have some of batch one today. |
