Don't know why Bitcointalk admins are so busy or so rude ?
They can't even reply messages ? We are their member that doesn't mean we are their Slave..  Cry

admins get hundreds or maybe thousands of PM/email everyday. so its better if you can just wait for them to unlock your account if they see you really own it and the account didnt get compromised

They might get hundreds not thousands per day
And I already sent him details as he asked with writing a signed message to prove ownership.

I feel the same thing. He might be busy or because of hundreds of PMS my pm might get lost

I think you are underestimating the size of this forum.  I would say it's in thousands most likely.  They get reports of bad posts, spam, meta, emails, etc.   But there are multiple staff so it's split (not sure how it get's split).  But it takes a team to run the forums.

It is the biggest bitcoin forum by far.  And with that comes many many items needing staff.
Admins are the only ones that can reset passwords, and there are only 2 of them. They can't possibly be able to get to everything. Also, they probably get thousands of emails of random crap every day regarding the forum, so they can't possibly have enough time to sift through all of that to find your request. They aren't ignoring you, they just didn't get to your email or PM. I'm fairly certain that they also have real jobs, so they don't have all day to run the forum either.

One problem I have a feeling they have a problem with chances are a lot send multiple emails.  This is a compounding problem the more repeat emails the more time wasted. 

So when someone does not get password reset for example in a day or two, they send a email, wait a day or two send another... etc.  I have a feeling this happens a lot since things can take time with limited people who can fix the problem.
5542  Other / Meta / Re: this crap is getting old on: October 14, 2015, 03:19:07 AM
this is the second time i have got this error and no email response on how to fix it. soo ill just have to keep creating new accounts each time it happens.

Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!
For security, your account has been locked. Email acctcomp15@theymos.e4ward.com
Read here:


Also don't expect a fast response from theymos or badbear. I learned my lesson when it comes to patience when I had my account locked before because I reset my password with the secret question. Both the guys are busy with their stuffs online and they do have their real life out of the web so be more patient.

If you did do something bad to get your account banned then take it as a lesson.
Ive got better things to do than to keep emailing and begging those 2 to get off their duffs and run their business. there's enough guys like that offshore that i have to deal with.

Then stop comolaining. That wouldn't help at all. It's not encouraged to send multiple emails to them, you.just.have.to.wait. Wink
whats the f'ing point of a forum if i cant complain and pester others?HuhCheesy

If you are nice normally you get better results.   If you goal is to complain and pester until you get account back, I have a feeling you will have a longer wait then someone who is nice to mods.   They are only a few who can do this... they are busy.... so it takes time.

Also you can prevent this by storing your password somewhere safe.  That is your best option.  Instead of counting on reset and wasting time each one of these, just store password safely.

Ok everyone, time to switch your miners off and give Phil the chance to win this one.

Of course if we all do this then we might overshoot it, so I'm going to keep my miners plugged in just in case  Grin

Bitmain is doing their part in helping you.  They went so far wrong it is considered a delay even.   So they are trying to help you as much as they can.

One of my U3's chances are will zombie out during the night that is my help Smiley it is not near as much as bitmain helped.   And I like what Phil said a slow steady rise to 300 would be nice.  I'm hoping with less than year from having we have a slow steady increase for a long period.
5544  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience Compac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread on: October 14, 2015, 02:49:21 AM

In the compac thread there is also a pre-compiled Minera version to work with compacs.   It is a image to burn to SD card, I have not tried it.

I kinda like having my RPI on raspbian and being able to control everything there very easy.  I can also use multiple different items through it easily by running multiple CGMiner instances.

I'm using it to run 3 Compac's. Set-up was easy and I can manage minera from my PC. Highly reccomend edonkey's minera

And I should clarify I meant nothing bad about his image. I think it is awesome he did it, and great for the community he saved many people time.

I use the raspbian OS as I have 2 types of miners running.  It allows me to control them, and I don't mind controlling by terminal.   But for most the GUI with minera Edonkey did chances are will be like by more people then what I'm doing.

Price is just a tad over 250! Hopefully it will continue and go above.  But hard to tell yet if will stay or go back under in 240's.

Interesting to watch though. And good to see upward movement.

I'm not sure you'd have enough power with your 800A 480V setup to drive the 5PH of gear.  If my math isn't failing me (it probably is, so I apologize in advance if I screwed up my calculations), that setup would give you total available power of 664.32kVA.  If you could covert that completely to 208V power, it would give you 1846A at 208V.  Even if you could get that at a 0.99 power factor, that would give you an absolute total of about 658kW.  5PH of S7s would require about 1.25MW for the gear alone.

Just food for thought...

No I think this project really was a idea that came out to early.  Really you need to find cheap electricity first.  From there build the data center and make sure you have proper cooling and steady electricity.

The range of power though is not possible.  No electricity company really will be able to provide this range.  You would have to do upgrades to get more.  Really set a plan out OP.  Even then if you set a goal of this big it's going to be hard to get initial funding.

Adjust time:    After 333 Blocks, About 2.4 days

yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Philipma1957, i hope you win!  Cheesy

I do too!   Grin

This will be a nail biter. Good luck to whoever does win whether it be this week or next.

I would love for him to win aswell.   Would be great to see him win it with using same one each week.  If he wins that would make his guess better then my speculation.

Makes me feel stupid Smiley.  But in this case I would happily feel stupid.  And with a neg really we would all win.

I had some issues with the second node's reset that took me until after lunch to figure out, but when it lit up I immediately did several pelvic thrusts and then ran into the office to excitedly request multiple high fives. Why wouldn't I want to share stuff that exciting with you guys?

I'd consider pushing this thing to 300MHz/66GH and see how much it beat the U3 by at its own hashrate, but the chips aren't heatsinked well enough. We'll have to wait until I have a better setup.

The highlighted is part of why I love your products, and I am a am a fan and buyer of them.   Look at lot of the companies to see what your  sharing they would want NDA and sue the crap out of you for releasing it.

I honestly am not a fan of NDA's.  But it is great how you share dev process with us.   I get to see awesome product development and see it along it's way to market, without signing my life away.
5550  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH on: October 14, 2015, 12:18:37 AM
I'm happy to announce I got my order of S7's today!
you be more happy when return your invested money

I wish.. I don't even want anything Antmain anymore. Even if it were 10x efficiency, on principle I would give them the middle finger.

Sadly right now there is one brand to buy new.  It is much harder then it sounds to go F Bitmain I wont buy from principle.

Until there are other miners out Bitmain kinda owns the market.  And can do what they want. For better or worse.
5551  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience BM1384 Project Development Discussion on: October 14, 2015, 12:16:46 AM
Thanks for sharing!  I love seeing the dev stage.  Thanks for sharing it.

This is one thing I love about your dev instead of other companies that keep it all secret and don't share the makings of.   16.5W to get 44GH for a start is not bad at all.  Compare to U3 that gets "1Watt/GH/s".  You are already kicking it's butt.
5552  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [2900 TH] Kano CKPool (kano.is) from the cgminer devs [0.9% PPLNS] on: October 14, 2015, 12:10:22 AM
I'm throwing some U3's over here for a few days for fun.  Figure it will be a fun way to test my results without using to much money in gear.

I'm looking forward to trying this pool though.  Always found it intresting to say the least when it has great time with blocks.   Looks like last few blocks have not been to friendly though.

Don't forget this pool reward at full potential  only after 5x the total share of the current difficulty.

That means you may have to let your u3 1+ week before you get the full reward on your payout!

Happy mining Smiley

Thank you for this!  I would have wondered what was happening.  Guess I missed that.

Is this to reward those who stay long term with pool?  Or what is main reasoning?

Hey notlist3d

Check out the kano.is site, and at the top right there is a help button and when you hover over it the Payouts button pops out, click there.
It has an excellent description of PPS.
It is extremely informative by sharing several details but also simple enough people get it. I'm sure in all your mining time you have seen some unique payment systems, and understanding some, well, many great people don't have the patience or some don't have the know how to run it on a calculator, and no offense, don't ask my help for Calc when I have a headche either haha.My daughter loves to help though. We practiced on miner ROI. She had more fun than I did looking at the numbers. :/ badump bump.

Anyway, check that out if you feel like it and if you want to run through it PM or chat sometime I'd be happy to. Kano made it easy to run through when you've done it a bit.
The same goes for anyone else. I am not a mathematical wizard by any means, and I see people here everyday who can probably do a better job on the math, but I can do well enough  Wink

Also, I wanted to pickup a Pi, or something Pi like. I don't mind spending a few more dollars for something which has a tiny bit better hardware, but I also understand you can get into spending some bucks quick when you put a display, etc on them.
Do you or anyone have any advice on which Pi, with all the fixins, or another device which can run anything setup to be run for a Pi, minera and such. I have a couple of other projects I want to learn with one or something like one, I especially like some of the remote monitoring applications and the flexibility of different add on hardware / peripherals.

Gekkoscience compac sticks gave me an even worse bug and the only cure is a stinker. After playing with these sticks for two weeks all I want to do is be a tweaker.



Tanks for typing this out.  I appreciate the formation.   I just suspected on payout... I should not have assumed. 

As far as RPI I really like it.  If your using compac sticks I suggest Linux and raspbian on RPI is a form of debian.  It does great with the compac-cgminer package.  If your just using compacs RPI is a pretty good bet.  You really don't need to make it fancy with moitor I just use a monitor to set it then let it run.  Only if power goes do I need to touch it after getting it all runing.

Only thing that you should wait is if you have some U3's.  They are kinda a pain sometimes.  I am hoping the antminer router will host U3's without as many zombies.  But it is not really known.  So if you are using U3's I would wait to see what the router does.  If it's great get it, if not go RPI. If using U3's.
5553  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: BTC Guild is CLOSED! Withdraw Your Funds NOW!! on: October 14, 2015, 12:02:17 AM
The issue I have here is the implication that people losing their coins should be just discarded and that you'll basically tell them they deserve what they got. Things can come up. People forget (my case).

The fact that I should have been more responsible is a given, but to say that someone like me would have deserved it is kind of heartless. Doesn't mean there's anything you can or should do about it, but to not feel even slightly bad about it, is quite an interesting type of moral character.

Justify taking people's money because they were given prior notice. If it were in the mail, suppose the bank sent a letter saying your house was being forclosed within the month and you didn't get it. And all of a sudden, there's a padlock on YOUR house (that you were behind on) with no real prior notice, etc.

You can only justify so much.

Edit: Oh, and everyone spends all day on BitcoinTalk. I mean, if my life revolved around it, sure. But it doesn't. So once again, a topic being bumped here once in a while, is totally irrelevant.

Your life does not have to revolve around bitcointalk to know this.  They have been mentioning it for MONTHS.  A hot wallet on a pool is not a spot for long term storage.   You should use a real wallet.   

People have got prior notice.  Your situation is rare at this point.   Your comparison is bad to.  If you get months notice about being  forclosed ... that is pretty fair.   

Please stop bumping this thread with your posting.  It is not saving anyone.
5554  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Do I need a Faucet? on: October 13, 2015, 11:48:46 PM
just to dive into the faucet info more, theres other ways to earn btc.

but yeah most are a waste of time, unless you have lots of referrals like for freebitco.in which is the oldest known one.

And to be honest almost no one but very very few have lots of referrals.  With referrals on a faucet yes you would get paid without doing anything, but this is unlikely.

I highly suggest just buy even a few bucks through a exchange.  Save your self days and day's of faucet use.

I would highly suggest getting a breakout board -https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=893159.0

Also you might contact OP of it if need info he has mastered using this PSU.  With manufactured these things he knows pinout.
5556  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitmain "warranty" on: October 13, 2015, 11:33:28 PM

Still nothing useful as to proving a board was "burnt with flame and smoke". If you're saying its due to the smell then its probably from someone unglueing heatsinks off a dead board with a torch. If you're saying that the dark ones are a different color because they've been in a fire, that's even more ridiculous - its nickel plating.

The dark one are different color , because they are not cleaned and sooty.

New and better pictures with macro  shot will come, if I get a few more S5+ blades  back from  China.
5pc have not been shipped yet.  Expect new surprises, and the  miracles of Bitmain Repair Service.


I still am not sure if I was really lucky or you got a dud.  I uploaded a image again I'm at 16 day's without issues.   

I've had great lucky with my S5+.   Still all hashing modules work great.   I have had no issues.  Only weird thing is if I run it for 2 weeks or so with low hardware errors it shows negative hw errors.  So it's equation long term has a error in it when low HW errors.
5557  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience Compac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread on: October 13, 2015, 11:24:04 PM
Anyone familiar with Minera?  I have 1 stick throwing multiple hardware errors and would like to single that particular stick out.  All Minera shows is Compaq0 to Compaq8



I'm using it with one stick but all you have to do in minera is set once the speed with either BFG 5.3 or CGMINER by novak you may need to compile and put in your own copy's, if you know how to do it with one software miner it's the same way with the other one with the custom folder or replace the default miners all to gather in minera. if you need a walk thu let me know .


In minera you should  be able to plug all you have in at once then it's list them all with BFG or CG. no need to run it with two or three mineras, unless you run separate controllers.

In the compac thread there is also a pre-compiled Minera version to work with compacs.   It is a image to burn to SD card, I have not tried it.

I kinda like having my RPI on raspbian and being able to control everything there very easy.  I can also use multiple different items through it easily by running multiple CGMiner instances.

Well sure there are some people that keeps profit from renting plans otherwise the rigs wouldnt be running and the websites would be down.

Not really some people just assume they are getting paid more look at Nicehash.  Currently it is paying 5 percent less then if the owners would have got 100 percent of BTC mining.  And its under the amount they would get on the 24 hours on pool if its getting 100 percent.

Yes a site like betarigs is better but they have been shrinking on renters and amount of rigs it seemed to be as I looked at it.
5559  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: How good is 10TH/s? on: October 13, 2015, 11:15:32 PM
Virtually no online calculator will give you an expected time to find a block inclusive of predicted difficulty adjustments.  The simplified formula they all use is this:

Code:
Difficulty * 2^32 / hash rate / 86400 = days to find a block

That's a snapshot in time formula.

You can get a decent estimate by using bitcoinwisdom's calculator (just be sure to put your costs to 0).  For example, if I put in a 2% difficulty increase, it'll take somewhere around 400 days for 10TH/s to find a block.

Even then though it is pretty slim chance of fining a block with 10 TH.   I think only way to hit it is pretty much big rentals, and it's still a gamble.

10T just is very small for the overall hash even now.  And we will have weeks above 2 percent.  When S7 rest of batch 1, and batch 2/3 ship its going to hurt on change.  And eventually there will be other makers with chips and likely higher difficulty changes.
5560  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Tips for running a successful Signature Campaign on: October 13, 2015, 06:39:46 PM
Do you want to run a signature campaign or do you want to enroll for a signature campaign? it is not clear i find.

You need to change topic.  The topic and first question in thread are completely different.

My suggestion is don't worry about sig campaign till member or even full member.  Use this time to learn about bitcon and the forum.  Most importantly how to make posts with content.  

Once you get that down enter a campaign down the road and pay is much better at full member, there is a decent jump.
