This morning I had 1/3 running at 29C, and 2 at 30/31/32 and almost hit under 2900 RPM for all 3 of them.  Later things changed and RPM increased but CPU temperature remained the same.  I will get some help in a few days with testing out better venting out solutions. 
62  Bitcoin / Hardware / Quiet older miners? on: July 09, 2017, 08:40:37 PM
Hi guys,

I have friends that have electricity included in their rent and I want to host some older, quieter miners there.  It would be awesome if I can run 2 older miners off 1 EVGA G2 1600 watt PSU.  Something that can run in apartment at below 3300 RPM.

How much (%) of your mining income (or profit) goes back into expanding/replacing mining capacity? I know mining is for people with money but I wonder what's the smallest investment that can actually be self-sustaining in mining?

Myself I have free hosting (paid in bulk by another business of mine). but even so, the total returns on my mining are not enough to get something more than an S7 after several months, an S9 at the moment would mean putting some of my own money into this..again. So I wonder how much I should set aside (10, 50%, 100%?) to replace old hardware like S4,S5.


Free hosting? I would suggest, and this is just me and what I do, without free hosting, is take the money I get from mining, move it to an exchange and trade in alt coins to make more Bitcoin, which I am getting really good at, and then use the coin to purchase another S9 when I can, rinse and repeat.

If you have free hosting then you have no electric to cover like I do so you should be able to get going in no time at all as at the current Bitcoin exchange rate an S9 costs about .41 Bitcoin.
If you actually have "free" hosting, there's no reason for you to not make money in the present market. I have a couple of 741s on free power here at home; there are 3 S7s in Labrador that I pay hosting on; and I'm sitting on a pile of S3s, an S2, and there's a 721 and another 741 looking for a power outlet.

To answer your basic question, though...I don't "set aside" anything, because I do not use my BTC income for general expenses; I save all my BTC for future needs. I may tap into it for an emergency expense, but that's it. If I need a "new" machine, there is generally enough there to buy it if I need to. Bottom line? 100% I guess.

I'm one of the "we don't need no stinking alt coins" folks, I'm afraid. I have no interest in that sort of trading, but I don't fault those who choose to. It's your fiat...so to speak...   Kiss

Mine on...

@ firetreeactual - I'm like you and run 2 741's at home now and looking to try running 3rd soon and shipping few to Labrador soon. Wink I wanted to know how you handle several 741's running at home (ie. sound / heat).  I had friends with free electricity that wanted to host some of them but in this summer heat miners are too much for apartments and they bailed out.

I recently started with mining, have a few miners running at home now and looking to host the rest.  I already learned a lot of lessons of importing miners, setting them up at home and now working on getting hosting (not as easy as it sounds).  My overall budget is very similar to yours and you can learn from what I learned & also from my mistakes.  PM me if interested.

Hello,

I'm selling Turkish Airlines tickets for BTC or proper altcoins with a 3% discount. Only with escrow. You can ask for any ticket with PM. No class restrictions.

Crashing the plane with no survivors is strictly forbidden. Even if you're a big guy.

Is there a way to show or prove how the ticket is paid for? If you are simply transferring miles, I am all for it and would be interested. But I also need assurances that the ticket is not paid for by CC. Can one call turkish airlines to confirm?

Each ticket has its own class fare code.  Reward tickets (bought with miles) have a different code as compared to purchased tickets of different kinds.  Even in economy there could be 5+ different codes for different tickets sold (ie. economy without seat assignment, sale economy, etc).  I dont fly on Turkish Airlines and not familiar with codes they use.

I'm new but like it so far, now I need to find place to host all of my other miners.

What kind of reward does one get when it finds a block? I'm new to the game but always hoping I will get my day at fame some day and be at Acclaim Board Smiley

I am looking for hosting of 4+ Avalon 741's for 6/12 month.  I know most places are over capacity but if something frees up do keep me in mind.  Thx!
