I guess a mod didnt actually read this and moved it here because it looked like another newbie asking another newbie question.

How about a rainmeter skin with bitcoin statistics? From the obvious price ticker, last day trend to the optional TX rate and TX backlog count. A cool feature would be recommended fee per kB.

We're shop talking about the item you wish to buy, very on topic. Also, there's a link to buy what you want in my sig Don't be shy.

AISC, sound scary.

ASIC is totally possible, but what's the point with Eth going PoS soonish? Also, i'm not a low level code/hardware engineering so i can't say in full certainty, but i'm fairly sure the cost for development would be high and take quite some time. It sound like a stupid venture. Eth could die, if it doesnt, ASIC will become useless at PoS/algo update. People may even flat out agree to change algo if an ASIC come by.

Anyways, when you spam this stuff and you can't even get the term's acronym written right, you dont have much credibility.

They're a management mess. The USB are much cleaner for cable management. They are also superior because the PCI-e power connector from the mobo connect to a deadend.

That exactly where the 3 resellers i know get them in bulk, at 2.x to 3$ per. Bitcoinware is the dirtiest though, i bought with them because they said they were in stock, then they said oops, they're not. Been waiting for 3 weeks for that order. I could have ordered from China myself without the markup.

But they refuse/ignore request to resolve the issue.

The ram is DDR2, so doesnt work with current high PCI-e slots DDR3 motherboards for mining either, sadly. Maybe someone may want this for a (very) budget gaming computer.

Right, they're 60CAD on the forum, so two month ish ROI. Assuming diff is going to stick to the +3~4% range for a while. If you can haggle them down, it's even better, but you need to pick them up yourself. If you have them shipped, you'd need to have the seller eat the costs. Otherwise S5's are just better deals by far, even for free electricity.

You're not even providing any information, you're just plugging your ears and saying Nonono not true.
I'll elaborate, since you, honestly, don't know what you're talking about;

-Hydro IS that cheap. This means that you can pay a flat fee for access to it and not pay more for a higher usage. It is near Free as in you won't pay more if you use it, its so cheap its included in rent. The downside is you have a amp cap on your sub-panel.

If you don't pay more for higher usage, this mean your access to the electric portion you will use for mining is effectively 100% free. You're not consuming more fuel or any fossil fuel. Using more electricity does not equate to the Government spending more money. No one is shouldering a higher bill because you are using more electricity.

Saying you're not mining for free here is just incorrect.

-Solar array equating to free; You are also wrong. Look at phil's setup. There is an upfront investment and the goal here is to Zero out his complete electric bill. Then he can run miners on his array to recoup the cost and soon profit on a repaid array while it last.

I'll give you an example since the concept of obtaining free electricity with an investment on an array seem to baffle you: If you do $50k USD out, then receive $50k USD in... your + or - at the end is 0. 0 Seem pretty free to me, since he then have electricity he doesnt have to pay for 20~years.

The actual numbers are more complicated but thats how it is conceptually. If profits with mining just get that bad, he can simply sell the portion he'd use for mining and sell it back to the grid.

Yes there's an upfront cost. Yes he's able to mine for effectively free at one point. The portion he'll use for mining, he won't pay more for it versus his mining earning, therefore it is effectively free.

-Turbines, you have no idea what you're talking about. You can get compact, long turbines, they're really not that big and they generate the electricity 24/7, so no need on a big expensive battery setup. Its cheaper to setup and a solar array as well.

This is the option i know the least about. But I guess it doesnt matter, since you didn't actually provide any actual information to support your claims or your logic.

If you have something to say beside repeating what you seen other people say about free electricity, as in actual details, please share. Otherwise you're just wasting people's time repeating misinformation.

Like i said, i don't know. Ad Campaigns make use of it with a bot to do it, yeah. Blockchain.info is buggy as hell though. Maybe check blocktrail.

Is there a particular reason you want the entire blockchain downloaded? You can just use a SPV wallet like Multibit HD and you wont need to download the blockchain then. There's several options on bitcoin.org;

On a USB stick it would be even more excruciatingly long to do and sync and use ongoingly.

Hmm, i've run high quality fat retail EVGA 1600 cables at close to 350-400W though. They never browned. On the Avalon6 i'm using standard retail PCI-e and they are still fully cold.

How long did it take for your jacks to brown?

The guy was out of line, like others replied afterward. You really should not pay heed of that STFU thing.

But anyhow, thats one of the thread. The home heater is a bit gimmicky, since every ASIC already do that

Bitmain has shit service, to say the least, so i may not be inclined to buy from them anymore. However they do deliver their short term pre-order, if not a bit late or DOA/crap hardware.

I'd advise to anyone to reject any scam/rip off pre-order thats 1 month + ahead of time, however. In other real life scale, pre-ordering ASIC... is like pre-ordering a 2018 car, to be received in 2038.

It is possible, but i dont know a wallet with such automated function. You'd need to trust a 3rd party with software that would manage received transactions to a certain address and then generate multiple outputs.

Exchanges and services already do that, but i don't know if there's a non proprietary/open-source software that you could use.

There's a guy selling for about 60CAD not too far from where i live, so ROI there is about 2 months. They havent been selling, so could probably haggle them down. But directly locally i've gotten them much cheaper. Even at our cheaper electricity here, they don't profit anything. (1.7USD per month @ 0.06).

Within Canada to ROI them + shipping, they would need to be 30$. Getting S3's at 20$ locally was kind of a fluke, but at the same time, S5's going for 120$ or less, its not all that much of a stretch.


Electricity is just really that cheap in places with Hydro Electricity. Or maybe someone live in a place where electricity comes down to near free... Or maybe he has a solar array setup, that once bought, the cost of the electricity over the estimated period of the panel's lifetime, it comes down to free, or he has a small hydro turbine.

TLDR; there is such thing as free electricity, copy pasting the typical ad sig campaign reply isint helping anyone.

Its hard to reference, i've also seen it mentioned several time. Its not a new concept either, to say the least, but a plug and play heating solution could be nice. Its basically a water cooled miner however, it already exist.

I'm guessing it would need to have an integrated shunt on a thermostat built in to dump the heat outside to actually be a home cooling option. From looking at the designs it doesn't look like there is one, in which case it would be nothing new.

The heat seem to be sent directly to a main Radiator which use ambiant air to cool itself, which mean you would not have a way to direct the heat where/when you need it.

I would not run the cable inside the wall, i'd hang it by the ceiling. Why would it matter if there's a twist lock preventing the connection from being pulled live? As far as i understand thats how it would be set up in an industrial warehouse or a Datacenter?

Is the danger that the cable somehow get ripped off from the electric panel?

You asked for a loan. A big one too.

Your account is pretty much burnt forever. Some campaigns won't accept you in the first place because of neg trust.

So, you're basically asking Female to sell their gender anonymity for 5$. Sound a bit whore-y xD

No, max activity is 14 per 14 days. Posting more than 14 posts per period won't give you more activity.

Yes, the fee per TX would go down if "we" increased the block size. Or up if not as people compete for the same limit size per blocks. I particularly do not see a problem with this however.

Anyhow, the TX fee is more tied to available space than BTC's value.
