you just have to be a jr member+ first...then reach out a signature campaign thread and post your details in desired format as in the OP postand wait for the approval of your application ....when OP accepts it you can go on posting then...
being Jr Member first isnt really required as some campaign accepts newbie like 777coin and steadyturtle but ofcourse the payment will be much lower than higher rank accounts Full member is actually biggest jump in most campaigns. I think that is goal I would aim for as far as earning from signature campaign. And you can hit it within a year and make a BTC or 2 chances are all within a year. Assuming you have decent posts. Look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0 Jr. Member does open a few other ones. |

All my miners suddenly stopped hashing at about the same time. There was no power failure, power surge, or Internet problem. After power down and power up again they cannot resume hashing. No amount of diagnosis or trial and error has succeeded in my being able to bring them back online or access their IP address. I have not yet re-initialized their SD cards.
I suspect this may have been a cyber attack. Has anyone had a similar experience, or able to share information about this phenomenon?
If this is a cyber attack does it mean my modem/router passwords have been compromised? As well as the passwords to access the miners?
Any input will be appreciated.
If someone was able to do an attack on a bitcoin machine I would suspect they would change mining settings, not hurt the rigs. What miners are they I don't see that? We really need to know more but I think if just miners are down, nothing else chances of attack slim. But run anti-virus on PC and anti-malaware to see if they did get to computer. |

Mine is to do with eclectic and a insane bill. I called a established electrician company. Told them I wanted to go from a breaker box to a 240 line. This was before I had my mining area. The electrician walks in to where I have 5 -6 miners. You should have seen his eyes once he saw them and the noise... I should have turned them off before but I thought showing actual condition was better.... he instantly started talking about getting a 2nd quote from a different company..... it was like ok but what is your quote? He then realized he did not look at anything so hard to do quote.
The guy got there and thought the subpanal where I wanted was the main box..... it was not. He got more worried as it was like he had never seen a sunpanal before. At this point I did not know if I should laugh or cry. Again he already starts saying he would get a 2nd quote from another company. Ok 2nd time... I'm getting the hint he does not like miner's. He say's he will be back with a quote, I hear his van haul ass out of my yard.
So at this point i'm dying laughing. I thought it was over. It got better later in the week I got a quote for 2k. This would include 1 240 breaker. About 10 feet of proper wire ran outside of wall. So easy less then 100 dollar's in parts easy..... but it was for 2k.
I thankfully got help on 240 from Phil on the forums and ended up being great as I built a miner area just for them and now have a 240 after putting it in. Which now has 240 for far less then the 2k. But all worked out good in the end as I turned a work area into a miner area, and it successfully mined through summer which was my goal.

Hello, Thanks for your message. It looks indeed very interesting. I'm going to dig deeper into the subject thanks to the links provided  Regards, To be honest there is not much to research. If you want a stick miner to mine. Go get one of sidehacks compacs. No other usb stick can do 8gh let alone 16gh when oc. Raspberry PI is nice as it uses very little power. |

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 than 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... Some have a AMAZING warranty like some are year if not years. It's crazy long I still am surprised. It's meant for gamers not miners, but miners benefited from it. I still remember the day's of GPU mining pushing a card to hard... and smoke from a cap.. it was like damn but sure enough they would fix it and ship it back cost you shipping to them was it. I had quite a few GPU's twords end of GPU mining I had form letters for two different companies making it easy to get RMA. It was pretty amazing. I most of all miss my 90 day ROI I had during some of it. |

if you make your own cable, like combine two with solderingiron, is electrical tape enough?
when no shrinking tube available?
I'm guessing you could wrap it enough times. But sounds like a horrible idea. Don't make a cable with electrical tape. Shrinking tube would be so much nicer. (I'm assuming you mean entire cord not just a tiny spot) |

OP created a new account then posted this question on 4th October, 14 days ago and hasn't been back since. Why do people do that, it really fucks me off  . they are farming account, there is no other explanation they know that posting in the off-topic section alone, is not seen well by signature manager Only other I can think of is they did not want to be looked like as a "newbie" on a question. If they are farming it they are doing so well. Although you could be right. I think if they get 1 post in activity they can eventually gain it. So that part sounds like farmer. Which I don't understand I get enough of the boards on my one account. I can't imagine trying to farm. |

Hi guys i just want to know if mining is profitable in my country.. My electricity cost is 0.53$ what do you think what asic is good to be profitable?
The rest of the guys are totally right... i have 0.27€/kwh, and i'm mining at a loss (i'm mining just for fun with very old HW). I wouldn't recommend cloudmining tough... There are only a handfull of companies i would trust, but the amount of coins you make is so low it's hardly worth it... What hardware are you running still? I have to give you some dedication points for still mining at that rate. That electricity price is rediclous. |

I think this kind of project is fantastic and there is no doubt some of the world's next best things may come out of someone's heated bathroom floor, or you name it.
I am getting into Solar and now I am starting to see how people do it with a long payback. You start with small amounts and use it for everything which makes sense in your domicile, or wherever. It isn't for everyone, just as many of these situations are not going to be, but for the people who are something like heated bathroom floors or heated floors in general are great for miners.
Figure out how to make them heat and cool, along with a temperature control system which almost any homeowner can integrate to their own central heat and air system. Why not start at the bathroom floor?
Good stuff man, keep it coming.
I would agree. I have seen this talked about many different times. But no one ever ended up doing it. But OP is actually showing a process of making heated floors from miners. I cant wait to see what it is in the end of project. |

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 think you are reading a little to much into bribes on trains.
Dunno about trains, it wouldn't surprise me at all, but it's quite possible regarding trams in cities. Some say the car companies and other industry players destroyed the tram system in the US to push car adoption by buying up the companies and dismantling them. If you look today trains are shrinking. You can take a Semi with a LOT of goods and go from point a to b. And b can switch every day. With train you have fixed points so much harder to grow. You are probley right there chances are in some point some bribes, I suppose there are a few bad apples in most industries. But this is a industry shrinking on trains. But yes some coal places still use it and it is very efficient. |

till today, i am still using coinbase.. have more than 2years.
I use more wallet, coinbase, blockctrail, block.io, blockchain, mycellium, also xapo but my main address at blockchain and mycellium  dang you use a lot of wallets, personnaly i use coinbase but im not too sure whether im gonna continue using this or start using a single address wallet Having multiple BTC address's a decent defense to make sure not all you BTC disappears if hacked. This way you only loose one wallet which is good. If you have all your eggs in one basket. It's kinda a single point of failure and you are done. |

Honestly you should not really be surfing the web or downloading things on a computer with a wallet. It's asking for trouble eventually.
I suggest looking into cold storage if you really are going to download a lot to it of anything.

I can confirm Hashnest and Genesis Mining, i have to check better bit-x but in the first view looks legit.
i agree with Hashnest but not on genesis mining. bit-x looks like trusted too coz they are under BitFury are they confirmed it AFAIK Im not trust genesis mining, "lifetime contract" is very possible running ponzi scheme also if you calculate "the fee" and "reward mining" different if you calculate with mining calculator I'm sure some will call me bias, but honestly I'm able to state my opinion. But I do not like anything that say's "lifetime". As a miner I know all machines have a lifetime. Reminds me the promise E-machines made "Never Obsolete". I had one just like this... one day it was obsolete. |

I knew a guy in a neighboring country who bought a solar panel because he lives in a house and then they made him pay VAT tax on the electricity he generated, with the general electricity cost which i belive was about 1$/watt.
Someone told me that in Florida once upon a time if you went solar you had to pay the power company compensation. I find that hard to believe but anything's possible if profit is on the line in the US. Good old America! All they do out there is looking to save their a**es and their profits so this doesn't surprise me at all. Here is another one that I have heard! Why there are no trains in the south of the US and there are in the North? Oil companies have bribed the government not to build any tracks in the south so that people must drive and they can sell more gasoline. I think you are reading a little to much into bribes on trains. Originally it was going west was the goal... so east to west ... which was huge in it's day. But it is expensive as heck to build new tracks. I forget what our town paid when they bough one "safe" stoplight with the arms that warns train coming it was huge though. A lot of the rails are going to places that had to be a booming town long ago. I know some spots in Midwest where they have actually picked up rails and stopped certain places as it's did not have enough traffic. It is really impressive when they do pick up the rails they take a LOT of metal in shorter period of time then you would think. But I don't see trains being the massive problem on electricity price. |

Well I think that is also for security purposes. If one gained access to your secret answer, then you know the rest: they can get access to your account. This feature should be removed imo so that things like hacking wouldn't be a that much of a problem when it comes to secret answers.
One day there will be a "new forum" not sure on timeline of when we see updated forum. I suspect then it they might possibly address it or remove it. I think that chances of spending time programming on this forum to do it is slim. Just have it in meta and people will know not to use it. |

Still working on the PCB layout. Not sure if I mentioned or not but we expanded the board size a bit to make it actually possible to manufacture in a single-sided board and still have room for a CPU cooler with mounting and clearance and stuff. Current dimension are 10x15cm, about 4x6 inches.
The mount holes I'm putting in are the proper spacing for LGA115x coolers. One thing to note, however, is that our ASICs stand between 35 and 40 thousandths of an inch (about 0.9mm) above the PCB. An unmodified CPU cooler is likely to sit well above this point, being as it's used to mating with a fairly thick processor in a fairly thick socket. With this in mind, I've added some extra holes which line up to some direct mounting on the Freezer 7 (since that's what I'm referencing) and also making sure to keep clearance around the chips to use lower-profile coolers like stock Intel i-series (which I don't recommend for near full speed operation since they have a round core and corner chips will probably run hot). Basically, I'm trying to give options without going crazy.
My test board will have some added instrumentation like output current measurement and extra pads to directly measure and manipulate. It's likely some of this won't be on the final version, unless y'all really want the functionality (at slightly added parts cost). If I don't run into issues with time management, I should be able to order some prototype boards tomorrow and they'd be in by probably middle of next week. During that interrim I have some other design tasks and some manufacturing to take care of.
After we have some working prototypes and the firmware is finished and tested, I'll raffle off at least one of the prototype pods and start taking in funds for a full batch. I don't know yet how big a full batch will be, but it looks like there's interest and materials enough already to merit about 100.
I like the sounds of this . Sounds like making good progress. There is not a lot of companies I say take my money I trust you. But I feel the pod will be fun just like the compac. |
