any known issues with bitmain site
It is currently down. Reason and how long are not currently known. I'm guessing updating batches. Possible price increase with the BTC jump. We will see. |

Bitman Site is down. I have four orders waiting to be shipped since September 9th. I have a need for quite a few more, but am wondering what is going on?  ?? Another big question is.............Will the price of S7s rise with the rise of bitcoin? In past in this big of difference they have been known to raise it. But no one really knows. They did manage to get to where there are no coupons right now, so there is already that difference. That was 100 dollars right there. |

Once you get time Steve I think you should add this one. It appears it is not very limited that pretty easy to get as far as Chinese market. Only thing that stopped me from getting one to play with is it appears program is all in Chinese. I did not see a English version. I hope someone finds one of it though. |

dmwardjr that is great to know. I didn't know you received your miners...(I guess I missed that but am glad to hear your happy with them) will have mine Monday the 19th.
I think you will be very well pleased with their performance, aurel. I certainly am!!! I will be posting screenshots in about another 2.5 hours to show the performance of all rigs after 24 hours of use. Yes, BITMAIN, has had its up's and down's. However, without them, we would not have the opportunity for decentralization in mining we require to keep the blockchain healthy. I'm thankful for their contribution to the bitcoin community and look forward to supporting them further in the future.
Cheers... I agree as Bitmain has been a great supplier to the home miner with great equipment. I am so looking forward to receiving the miner Monday but am also very thankful for Bitmain to say he will compensate us for the couple of days it was late. What most need to remember is if Bitmain can not make a profit then he most likely will not be selling equipment to the home miners and then what? Cheers to you sir as well... I am happy they are as some companies forget about home miners. Bitmain is not doing it for free though. They know how to make a profit, they make business decisions. Fore example I'm sure they ran a ton of models of what compensation could be. And they decided with one that was cheap. They lost very little money compared to a nice coupon. So they are always making business decisions. If there was not profit they would not sell to us. |

Thanks! Yes, I forgot that it took a few seconds to turn on. I successfully turned it off for a about 8 hours so I could examine the power cord to make sure it was the correct one because it was getting very warm. It was the right one. Is that normal for it to get hot while operating - the cord? I can still touch it, but it doesn't feel right. Could this be an issue with the amount of power the outlet is providing or is it possible the cord is too old and I need a new one? Thanks!
Getting warm is not really a great thing for a electrical cable. Are you sure it is original cord? And can you define "very warm" that is not something good if it's as hot as I think your saying. Yes it could be the amount of watts of a S4 if cable is not right gauge. So check cable and see if it is original. And even if it is if getting "very warm" might be worth getting a new better gauge wire. Thanks. It sounds like it is too hot to be good. So you think it has more to do with the cord than the wall if the S4 has been running just fine at full hash rate for a 5 days now? What kind of power cable would you recommend for the S4 if I need a replacement? The problem is I cannot see or really help with wall. Could crap wire be a problem and cause issue... yes. Your talking 1400 watts if you had cheap wire in wall... yes not good. Only way you will know is if you are good with electricity and can look at wire and see if your lucky it is not to hard to tell guage. Unlucky you will have a harder time. Other option is call an electrician for a quote and ask them. Be careful as some electricians are great others will charge way to much. One of the electricians I wanted to put in 240 he wanted around 2k for around less than 100 dollars in parts. Luckily I live on a farm with no zoning on it so I was able to do it myself and save almost 2 grand compared to the "bad" quote. |

Price is doing pretty great around 270 nice little bump. Will be interesting once we hit weekday's to see if bitmain kicks it into high gear on S7's they have to do it sometime soon.
Yeah I am thinking next Monday to Friday will all be 155 blocks a day. It has to be coming they really don't have a choice but to finish batch 1 or look even worse. I predict they make more then needed for all 3 batches to. I don't see them making same mistake of making to few. So I see ton's of customers shipping out, and them putting a decent amount sitting in there for "burn in's" until sold. |

Most signature campaigns that pay a high amount is for full members only.
Actually not only most but all signature campaigns pays a high for full members and above cuz they have more characters allowed on their signature. With more characters, there is a larger space for the sig ad and it will be more noticeable by people so they will receive a higher payment rate. I think that's how it works  It is kinda a dual purpose it allows bigger signature. Which is important to the signature design. It allows more options which allows better advertising. Also full member acts in a way as a buffer to stop someone from creating multiple alts. If they have full member alts they put in a lot of work (or purchased them). But it stops someone from easy alt's which helps stop spam. |

you can change your fan, if i'm correct the s5 mount 120mm, you can some artif fan f12 or the one with the pwn and install that instead, i've done the same thing with those scrypt miners, and they working fine, and were very quite
or you can undervolt it, but it require a little of experience with electricity
yep, he can always undervolt it, but process seems a little bit complicated, i dont know if this is your case or not, but here you can find a guide about how to do it with an S1 -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=526060.0i hope it helps you  You can not Penmod a S5, however. My tip would be to set the fan down to 25%-40% depending on the ambient temp. At 25% they are pretty quiet imo. I would watch ambiant temp before doing this. They can get pretty warm on S5's. They do not have a full case and only 1 fan so you should have a cold ambient to turn down that much. S5's just run warm and are not quiet by design. For reference, at the moment they are taking in air from a outdoor stream pulled in by a box fan. The outdoor temp is 10c, i have put 2 S1 fan on it running at 2k RPM, which is insanely quiet compared to one stock fan at stock speed. The miner's temp is 50c~ With 1x Stock S5 fan, i get same temps at 2.8k RPM which is still much better than full speed and bearable if in an other, closed room. You would have a low outside temp to count on this. If it is still warm in OP or others area it is not near as good with 25 percent fan. But I admit it's getting cooler in many places at this time of year. I'm not sure if most can count of so low temps yet all day to run so low. Yup. 40% with a box fan blowing air through worked for me during summer, however. I was able to run the miner at full OC with temps ~60c. During some crazy hot day, 30c+ i had to raise sometimes during the day to up to 65% to stay in the low 60c's. As long as OP and anyone else make sure to temps dont go to upper 60s or 70s, then the miner should be fine. Atm my temps are in mid 40s. During most of summer I had around a little over 12k actually around 14k when looking at my spreadsheets. I forgot about the C1's I was running in a different area. So i had to use a little more I used 2 of these in front of miner's to push hot air away from miners - http://www.lowes.com/pd_416730-11292-SFDC2-600T_0__?Ntt=416730&UserSearch=416730&productId=4755305&rpp=32I had one of these to help push air from window - http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-2265QM-20-Inch-Performance-Velocity/dp/B0073CQ9XA/ . And a second window I had a homemade fan with an attic fan. So it really moved air. So that worked great on moving air in and through miners. But the problem then becomes you need to exhaust the air. I did this mainly with a big gable upgrade - http://www.homedepot.com/p/QuietCool-Professional-3013-CFM-Power-Gable-Mount-Attic-Fan-AFG-PRO-3-0/206047381 . And with this some vents in ceiling. But all that got me through summer mining which originally did not think I could do. So very happy in the end. I will enjoy the free winter air to save a few bucks coming up. Thats pretty impressive, that must of moved air. I use 2 of these, different brand, 15$ each; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Holmes-Box-Fan-White-/191637946943One as intake, one as outake. I really wish i could use something with serious CFM for summer time, but i'm assuming the one you used are kinda noisy and probably not fit for an apartment? Correct you would need an area just for mining. With that many CFM the fan's are louder then the machines. But it really does push a LOT of air. It was kinda a lot of testing and trial/error to get it to work great. But it eventually worked great for a mining area. The exhaust I was hoping to use old, but it just did not keep up. It took a pretty big upgrade on exhaust for it to handle pushing all that air out. |

looks nice.
I am checking out all details. on the list below you do not need lastupdate
ck explained what it is (I forgot what he said)
but it is the same for all of us so it is not needed.
the rest looks good.
Dont reference this image. I was just showing what data is logged incase we wanted to see more data. The link shared with you via PM is only the shares per worker, with the most recent share time at the top. Thanks for all the work your putting into it. Very cool to see a product support a club like this. Cant wait to see it and try it out myself. |

super good news everyone!!!!
with the help of LDP and some trial and error.. i got wired <> wireless bridge working and im seeing if i can do a wireless <> wireless bridge.
ill keep you guys informed.
That is good news. Now can you figure out how to change the pool? thats easy. just ssh into the device and change the /etc/init.d/cgminer script to point to another pool. That is good news. Does it reset if power is lost I'm guessing? Also what does status screen look like when you change it to another pool? |

1 btc a day is really hard to have.
There is no way to have this just for one day.
Or maybe, you can have this by trading.
This is only possible with trading you're right. And therefore you have to be really really good at it and also need a lot of luck. The risk is very high to end with nothing. You have to remember BTC is money. In general money is not free. So getting 1 BTC in a day is a LOT unless a decent investment. At 270 each your talking about high 90k per year. That is just a dream without investment or a really really good service your selling. I would not count on 1 per day though. |

You can easily earn dozens of BTC each year just by participating in Signature Campaigns.
Honestly you can probably earn 1BTC/year just by filling out captchas or by heading over to a faucet.
I've earned probably close to 1BTC just cashing in on sign-up bonuses on Casinos!
On faucet/captchas your talking about a LOT of time to get 1 BTC. I'm not sure it could be done without a massive investment of time. What casinos did you earn that off of? I find that a interesting sign-up bonus if you can cash out. |

Join my signature campaign (see my signature). You won't be paid anything but you will get satisfaction from doing the right thing.
My signature isn't a condemnation of the services provided by Bitmixer and Bit-X. I've never used either of them. Just like the overwhelming majority with a paid sig ad: they don't care one way or the other about the company they're whoring. It could be an obvious scam in the making and they still wouldn't care as long as they get their paid posting crumbs.
So it is only your opinion that these campaigns are unfair, or you have any evidence? This is very untrue. I have passed on some content even with good pay. I do care if what under my name is something I don't agree with. For example the most skipped thing by me is Mixers I had a good offer for one. But supporting a new mixer.... I felt was not a good thing for under my name. I just could not be sure service did not leave one day and people who clicked my sig would be having a horrible time. Bit-X is mainly a UK exchange they are quite big at this point. I have no issue with them as I do not believe they will leave customers like a mixer might. They have put in a lot of time to become legal in UK, and also bought a PH for cloud mining that bitfury has acknowledged. So I feel pretty safe at the moment with my signature. I can say I put in more research then most when I pick a sig campaign. They have to make me feel safe for others. Also I'm not pushing it. I don't want anyone to feel pushed to a product from my add. Yes maybe look at it and research it, but not pressured to buy. |

running debian jessie in virtualbox 4.3.12 in a freenas 9.3 jail on my server in the basement. I can compile and run cgminer-gekko. the compac is seen fine in debian. cgminer fires up and sees the clubs solo pool and connects. I get the welcome and block found messages. but it wont mine. the errors are as follows: no valid hashes for over 10 secs, attempting to restart.
compac 1 attempted reset got error:(0) LIBUSB_SUCCESS
device failed to respond to restart
HOTPLUG: Gekko adding compac 2 it does this over and over with the compac n number increasing each time. any suggestions? this compac runs fine on my windows HTPC. EDIT: the compacs led stays steady green. no frequency arguments so it should run stock speed. this stick runs at 185Mhz on the HTPC so it should run fine stock frequency.. I had the same issue when I was trying to push my compact with a regular USB from my PC. I was running at freq 150 and it was just too much for the usb. I dropped it down to 125 and it runs perfectly without any HW now. 6.867GH/s What is your voltage set to? It has a example here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173963.msg12359541#msg12359541Assuming USB has enough power it should hit 8GH pretty easy. But not all USB slots are equal as far as power they put out. |

Nice experiment man! Don't forget to write down the results you get for yourself and for public knowledge as well Specifications usually mention 0 deg C as a minimum, because equipment is not tested below that, but this doesn't mean it won't work. Maybe you can even give feedback to the manufacturer saying that you tested it for X time and worked / did not work. As for your cables, others said as well, look into them. Burned cables are no good. Also, 4A/mm2 can be taken as the rough measure on how much current you can push through a copper cable. Don't go above it when operating continuously.Cables are not that expensive they really need replaced with proper cables. It appears like it burnt through coating on parts and is covered with electrical tape. Just almost asking for electrical fire with that. You will think us one day if you spend the money to get new wires. |

Also OP if you are unsure do not change the settings. If it was DHCP leave it if you don't know if your doing it right. You can make it where you cannot connect if you don't do it right. But Rich is right reset is best option chances are if you did make it where you cannot get to it. |

with radiator like that, what about the miner temps? still high or?
That is a huge area with fans on radiator. Thanks for sharing I have not seen anyone go to this level before. How many do you think you will be using with that? Also with running through floor and miners what coolant are you going to use? |
