Ok, so here's the deal:
I'm mining with a cellular internet connection, so data is expensive. I understand I can set up a proxy and aim my miners through the proxy to the mining pool (in my case Slushpool), thereby minimizing the share request and minimizing bandwidth. Hopefully I'm on point so far? I'm so far out of my skillset here...
Anyways, I want to host other peoples equipment one day as I have access to relatively cheap power, but I can only do so if I can aim their equipment through a proxy / do something to minimize my bandwidth use. Currently, on Slushpool, if I set my Antminer S9 to the minimum difficulty, I consume about 14 mB / day and if I set it to max diff, I consume about 4 mB/day. This is still too much if I want to host mining equipment, not to mention I will not be able to control what pool the hosted equipment is aimed at, and what difficulty setting they've set their Worker.
First - Considering what I want to do, is it possible to aim hosted equipment through a proxy (let's assume Antminer S9's are the hosted equipment)?
Second - Can anyone point me to any resources on how to solve this problem / set up proxy?
Any help / tips at all is appreciated.
Cheers
Edit - darn, I should of put this in Mining Support, sorry.
i can confirm you who mining don't use internet connection heavily. You can check it with a simplest traffic monitor, or if you have Windows, opening task manager and checking network traffic. |

Good day. May I ask how mining really works technically? And what is the composition of the mining equipment? What is the difference in mining equipment of bitcoins and altcoins? I would like to learn how to make one, just for the learning and fun. Thank you.
hi Ctstrphy ! Basically, are all the same: you need a machine suitable for Heavy calculation. then, you can have 2 big Group of miners 1) ASICS 2) all the Others, mainly GPU/CPU, and HDD ASIC, is suitable to do just one thing, but very welland fast All the Others, can be used for mining and other things... another big big difference between the two groups, is who when you stop mining, ASIC will be used just as door stoppe or if you prefer as paperweight CPU, GPU, and hdd, can be reused or reselled... |

One of my best trading days ever  sorry but you are saying nothing... if you have started with 0.1BTC, and you are closing the day with a 10BTC gain... sure!!! it'a memorable day!!! if you have started with 200BTC, and you are closing the day with the same gain, this is a lowly, 5%gain... 5% gain in a day is pretty damn good anyway. If you were able to compound it you would be talking about owning dramatically more than the entire market cap of all cryptocurrencies within a few months, but unfortunately you can't put so much in to a thing at a time. It's pretty unlikely he has over about 100 Bitcoin if he's just randomly posting on this forum without making very long, investor-y comments. did you never heard about ping pong trading??? no??? if you find the right pair with the right volume you can gain 50% per trade easy... and 5% become not so good!!1  |

I think simplefx allow you to open a demo account and a free platform for learning. Trading is a games of professional and it demand skill and high intelligent for you to really succeed in it. You should be advised that trading be it margins, arbitrage and buy and hold is very risky and you should not venture into it without proper skills and knowledge on how trading work
yes. is another site who offer a demo account with fake dollars :-) https://simplefx.com/ offres metatrader software to implement trading systems... just like avatrade The software, is the well known Metatrader 4.0. |

... BTC translations were fast enough you could easily buy on bittrex and sell on poloniex. but BTC is so slow.
BTC will always be seen slow against arbitrage trading because it takes 6 or more confirmations at both the exchanges to credit the BTC and make it available for trade. Though, the difference, like you think, is not even that much to curb with the fee that they normally charge over a buy/sell trade, so leave the idea of arbitraging at these two exchanges and find something else. I think every exchange sites are put a single confirmation to confirming the funds already received by the exchange site. I don't ever see the exchange site which it puts 6 confirmation just for confirming a funding from their users. 10 minutes for every confirmation with $0.5 fees. But it will get a lot of the fees for every arbitrage trade. The volatility has made it impossible. here, i not agree... if you want to do spread trading, you need to have an huge capital. And you divide all this capital between the Exchange where you want to do spread tradin. if you are focused in spread trading between USD and BTC, monitoring 10 Exchange, in all this 10 Exchange, you need to have, USD and BTC... and when the spread opportunity appear, you put 2 orders at the same time, in 2 Exchange... thats all. |

Either there is something wrong at DarkWallet (in which case you will not be able to access your bitcoins until the developer of DarkWallet fixes the problem)
Or you have been scammed and DarkWallet has stolen your bitcoins (in which case there it nothing you can do to get the bitcoins back unless you know who operates DarkWallet).
...I did not consider all this two possibility... It is obvious, that, do you have downloaded just from a trusted source!!! if is not so, all the two possibility above are legit! |

I am pretty much new to bitcoin trading, so I want to learn bitcoin trading. Since I am new and won't be able to invest any real money into trading. Can anyone please suggest me any website to learn bitcoin trading in realtime with fake coins or any trading site that provides free satoshi to start trading.
It would be of great help as I have watched several videos online but I want to try it our first in real-time basis with no investment.
there are many brokers who give you the opportunity to open free demo account with 100000$ or whatever you want... to try their platforms... here is an examples... www.avatrade.com, is one of this... here is the link. http://www.avatrade.com/trading-info/range-of-markets/bitcoinenjoi ;-) |

...usually, when it appear a good opportunity for spread trading, you go to place the order to Exchange, and you see who there are no volume on the chosen pair...
and the opportunity vanish in a second...
with all this BOT around, spread trading is dead.

I used to trade crypto back in 2014 but left it since. Heard bitcoin talk on the radio few days ago so decided to get back into the game. Read up about recent tradings and notice that polo seems to be the IT trading site now with a very high volume. So is polo the best trading site?
there are a lot's of valid Exchange around..... you can choose by volume... here you have an huge statistic: https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/ |

Okay, I know at a glace this could come across as a stupid topic but I would really appreciate it if an articulate discussion came of this...
Cryptocurrency mining hardware is very expensive, and we should look after our rigs as best we can. After all, the build up of dust reduces air flow, raises temperatures, kills blades/miners.
However in my (limited) experience, the components that get killed on the boards aren't often the mining chips as you may think, but the often disregarded power regulating components. Mosfets, capacitors etc. Without this becoming a rant at some manufacturers that under-power their boards, over-stress the power supply circuitry, so it runs fast until it out lives the warranty. Some of us are doing this at a hobby level and don't have the high turnover of constantly getting the newest model of ASIC. We need to make our units last.
So my next point is regarding temperature. For one, people refer to overclocking ASICs and state the temperature that their interface is telling them the unit is at. Often this is wildly inaccurate, giving a surface temp of a PCB or once again measuring the mining chips and neglecting the Mosfets. Yes, when you overclock a mining chip it may raise in temp from 60 to 75, and you'd think with it's upper limit of 125 that'd be fine. But what's the temp of the Mosfets, capacitors etc we're stressing driving this equipment? As I said before it's not often the mining chip goes pop.
So my last point and the punchline really. The power supply components are often smaller than the mining chips in terms of surface area. They are also of unequal heights and this makes it very impractical to fit heatsinks. The designer places them in the airflow as best they can, but as I mentioned, with the enclosure around them this can be partly obstructed especially over time if not maintained. Is the answer not fluid cooled systems, immersion I mean, that give even heat exchange across every component? No matter how small?
I get that could be a logistical nightmare to ship. But I've seen very few hobbyists adapt their miners this way too. Am I missing something? Or if it ain't broken don't fix it?
But lets be honest on a technical level it would be no more complex than assembling a simple frame and dropping it in a fishtank of mineral oil. (A kind of gross simplification).
What about people that want to mine with an S7/S9 at home but can't put up with the noise?
A few thoughts.
Dan
Some interesting examples on youtube.
hi!! nice to hear this topic again.. at the beginning i was fascinated about this kind of solution... With the same power consumption you can push S9 frequency to the limit... but then i have stopped all my project when i'm not been able to find a valid Novec fluid alternative... here you can find a lot of data avout this fluids data: http://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/novec/products/product-catalog/?N=8708160&rt=r3last time i have checked the price, was at 125eur for 500ml and 215eur for 1Lt.. too much expensive... |

So i just ordered 6 new S9's from the latest badge but i wanted to know some things:
1) What cooler system should u look up to, do i need to buy A/C's or thats to low for 6 S9 at the same room, what do you guys recommend me to do.
mostly, it depend where do you live... 2) What pool should i join?, im pretty new to bitcoins and is my first time i will buy a antminer. Sorry for the ignorance.
here you have a list of actual major pools: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTCbut remember: centralization is never a good things... then look at the distribution type... 3) How can i exchange the bitcoins in my current currency? Im living in South america.
you could use a bank account, who is able to manage USD dollars... 4) In actual Difficulty and with my s9 13 TH how many Bitcoins i can farm a month?
here you can do an easy estimation of your income: http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator |

Hello everybody, first of all, I am pretty new in this stuff :-D. Yesterday I transferred 0.09885 BTC from bitcoin.de to my unused addresse: 1Jr15PwD9UvvXe823gVUY9f3Zy2UKZXZuL at Dark Wallet. It never arrived. Does anyone know what might have happened? Here is a screenshot of my wallet. As you can see, there is no BTC. https://www.dropbox.com/s/e9lvq71qcbum6jq/btc%20not%20arrived.PNG?dl=0Thank you for your help :-) hi nouras.. i dont know well how darkwallet works... but i think, it have a local blockchain like Bitcoin-Core, ex QT-Wallet. If yes, maybe, you need to synce your local block chain, before to see the right balance |

Veramente un ottima recensione jpp!
Grazie mille!
Il problema qua in Italia oltre al costo del singolo kwatt ora, e anche il consumo. Infatti nel singolo anno se superi i 1800 kWh di consumo, il prezzo del singolo kW dal 1801esimo, praticamente raddoppia....
È vabbeh. Siamo in Italia.
Cmq grazie mille di nuovo!
Beh però con questi apparecchi il costo della corrente è veramente l'ultimo dei problemi, gli antminer per bitcoin e litecoin quelli si che hanno consumi di corrente proibitivi. speriamo tornino presto online disponibili alla vendita se ne hai uno si. Se hai altro sali velocemente verso la soglia di raddoppio.. poi dentro la soglia devi metterci tutto.. lavastoviglie, lavatrice, climatizzatore, luci, tv... poi vedi che fai alla svelta a raggiungere la soglia. sono praticamente 4.9 kwh al giorno per stare sotto... se hai 2 cube, che sono 150watt/h, accesi 24H sono 3,6Kwh solo loro.... e vedi che i 1800 arrivamno velocemente. poi oh, è anche vero che sfori 1800kwh il primo dicembre, non è che il raddoppio, ti inciderà molto sul totale annuale. |

I have a full node and it crashed due to an apparent disk read error.
"ERROR: ReadBlockFromDisk: Deserialize or I/O error - CAutoFile::read: fread failed" etc.
What is the proper way to recover from such an error and get the node running again?
if you are using Windows, open dos shell, and type "chkdsk /F" the "/F" parameter still for FIX. it can repair bad Sector. just give it a try... |

Ragazzi.... ARRIVATO!!!!!!!! Dimensioni 13.5 x 13.5 altezza 11 ventola da 12 cm.... questa sera poi ne parliamo meglio.... ma prima di tutto una cosa..... Vi posto l'adattatore che hanno inserito nella scatola..... Spiegato perchè continuano a dire che e' alimentato attraverso jack!!! Domanda..... Mi fido a collegare un connettore 6 poli pci-e di un alimentatore atx?  come sono le polarità? perchè non hanno usato i 2 pin centrali? ? ( benchè siano collegati alla scheda madre) L'interruttore quando è arrivato il miner era su 1 ( on..., prestate attenzione quando arrivano i vostri!!!) qualcuno ha lo schema delle polarità del pci-e 6 pin? Help Me!!!!! questo è il link della foto!! http://imgur.com/a/7Wg4gAltra cosa... il controller ha integrato l'antenna wifi..... vuoi vedere che si puo connettere al router senza bisogno di cavi di rete? Prima però devo capire come alimentarlo.... Ciao! posso chiederti un favore? puoi raccontare per filo e per segno qual è tutto l'iter per portare a buon fine un' ordine con 'sta baikal miner??? Hanno un sito così mal fatto, che manco riesco a registrarmi... mi da errori su errori... grazie. italianminer te lo dico io, fare l'ordine sul sito serve a poco, perchè poi per il pagamento devi fare tutto in email o su skype, non hanno un pagamento diretto tipo bitpay. puoi contattarli direttamente su skype e gli fai l'ordine, io la prima volta avevo ordinato su sito e non era andato bene, quindi li ho contattati su skype e ho acquistato direttamente lì ecco... me lo immaginavo!!! hai voglia a star lì a rigirare il sito come un calzino per registrarti e cercare di portare in fondo l'ordine. ok.. vedo di spaccargli le palle su skype.. io ho questo contatto è quello giusto?  |
