No.

From e-mail;

One S7 hold can receive one coupon.

For S5 hashing holders, you can claim the coupon for purchase S7 instead choose to redeem them. Also, One S5 redemption can convert one S7 coupon.

A bit hard to understand their broken English though.

You should really stop necroing threads left and right. + Like i said before they're being given away for free because they're worthless.

I did not expect this thread Necro. You're quite a few months late. Now... 100USD coupons arent even sold for 0.005 BTC Sorry your 0.18BTC ask made me chuckle a bit. Bitmain is flooding everyone with coupons.

I'll lock the thread to prevent further confusion...

Here's my thread with the ASIC i have for sale;

I'm 5 hours away on car so unless you planned on doing a trip to Ottawa soon, it would have to be shipped, though within Canada its not bad at all.

Well for altcoin minings, you can mine with GPU, but you're still not going to get anything done with a crappy one. Ethereum is worth checking out, i got links on my sigs for the tools needed.

Well, i guess there kindof is. There's tons of watchdog software for this. I used CGWatcher at some point, but now i just run a command line. Beside SG/CGMiner's UI work just fine, even though its just text.

Just use newer miner, probably cgminer or sgminer and use a very very very simple command line put in a .bat, its not hard. But with a CPU he's not going to earn anything anyways.

The electricity cost on the hosting. It make a serious dents on the profit and when the profitability go down, the hosting cost does not so you're left with mostly worthless hash.

Yeah... and as short as it was, there is'nt much to add. There should seriously be a sticky with the super common questions that get asked over and over everyday, though.

TLDR: You cannot mine BTC with such hardware anymore. Look for a Gekkoscience sidehack usb ASIC for 25$ or so.

Sadly, it look like my Pick isint all that crazy anymore, eh?
Hopefully it will remain too high for this round...

Yes, its up to the person that would necro the thread to make sure its sensical to do so and he's not just spamming a generic answer to an irrelevant 6 months old comment. Locking the threads preemptively just mean more threads will be opened which is not ideal.

Yes. But do you?

Using a different client that support 2mB blocks won't actually allow it. A Fork need to happen first. For this to happen you need Antpool, BTCC, F2P and most of every one else to agree. Meanwhile in China, AntPool is indeed SPV mining empty blocks because they dont care.

You can't contact any of the big pools by posting here so you're wasting your time.

Now all you're doing is actually starting the 420th threat on the Bitcoin fork topic, which has been talked through and through several time and doing it in the wrong forum section.

May need to clear out sooner than expected, dropping the price for the kit to 1170USD.

Because Bitcoin has a 1mB limit and a hard fork would be needed to change it, along with all that this entail.

No the BTC machines don't send money to each other. If they find a block solution, the pool will include some transactions in the block found.

And no, if BTC keep up, mining will always be profitable. If its not for 90% of the machines, then 90% of the machine will drop and the rest of the 10% will get 10x more.

Considering he just created another thread about this;
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1415897.msg14346129;topicseen#msg14346129

The answer is the same. The more S5 hashrate he gets, the more money he would lose. Considering i already said even a S7 would be bad, i thought it would of been obvious that anything lesser would be worse.

Um, maybe you don't understand how this work? Its Earning vs Cost.

It doesn't matter how much hashrate you have, you won't profit. Use a simple calculator;

It works good to calculate today's earning. For the S3, you're running it about 2 cents cost per 1 cent worth of BTC atm. As such even a S7 would be bad for you.

Dropping price to 1230$ for the kit. PM Offers.  Thanks

Well i'm talking about the monitoring led next to the Ethernet cable. There's a green and a red LED. The red one turn off and the green one blink slowly when its working normally.
