Bump with new lower prices.

Anyone?
Is $100 shipped too much for this thing?

Got my 2nd pair in yesterday. Have them hashing away. Love them.
Some thoughts on future OS updates.
1) 1 to many. Using some push API to other miners on the network, if you make a change to one you have the option of updating them all.
2) EMail alert if something fails. Yeah, I know usually it's the pool that will tell you if you are not hashing, but I have always wanted to have the miner let me know if *it* things there is a drop, or if the fan is not spinning, or if it can't connect to pool "X". Probably a lot of programming for it to do that but, I can hope.
3) All LED off except for issue. Walk in, look at rack, red LED on. OK, that one has a problem.
Thanks,
Dave

Title says is all. I tested all the ports with a USB drive, read and wrote a small file. $100 $80 as of 4-April shipped in the US. I really do not want to deal with customs forms on this. If you have any questions ask.   The only payment address(es) for this are: Legacy:14omg4wFTmbQrNXtFL7f4sLfSpF6Pif4P7 SegWit: bc1qun6thhj2th9aac4r0057gxnrkg0lw22xa7wxzx As of 4-April no power supply is included to save on shipping costs for the lower price. Thanks, Dave |

Do you have the actual wattage pull at the wall @ 110V for this running the S15? Just doing some rough planning for new runs in the warehouse, but I can only pull single phase 110. Thanks, Dave |

3 were mined by Nanopool one was mined by SparkPool so that is a no to being mined by the same miner.
Also if you look at the sending address it has over 18,000 transactions so whoever controls it I would assume knows what they are doing.
Off the top of my head I have no idea what or why they are doing it.

I updated the website to use the new wallets and added a link to the number435398 github.
If anyone sees anything wrong please post here to let me know.
I think I have everything but more eyes are always useful.

Does anyone know how difficulty readjusts on this?
I have seen as low as 0.6 and as high as 80.5 in the last 24 hours.
I am wondering if it counts staked blocks the same as mined blocks and how big a range it looks at to determine the difficulty.
Yes, I could probably slog though all the code and figure it out, but I figure asking is quicker. And oh yeah, I'm lazy :-)
Thanks,
Dave

Yes, it's one issued through Coinbase.
Last time I looked, if you wanted to go through all the grief you can still get the money back from Wavecrest for the card. But you are correct, for that little it's probably not worth the time.
-Dave
I'm sure in most cases you'd get your money back, it's more the being left in the lurch. I remember lots of screaming from people travelling abroad and using those cards as their sole form of payment and waking up to find they were instantly unusable with zero notice. At least this card is giving a grace period. Without taking this too far off topic, if you are traveling and only have 1 form payment you are asking for trouble. Lost card / stolen card / Visa-Master Card - Amex whatever network goes down for a while, etc. Close to home, it's a pain. Far away it can be miserable. -Dave |

Some other things to think about.
Although it would not change the reserve requirements, frequency of payouts do matter a bit too. Once an hour vs once a day vs once a week etc.
i.e how much the pool could wind up owing you if they go broke. If I don't trust you and I only get paid once a week, I'm gone....
Cash / fiat reserves. If I want to start a pool to dominate the mining world and I have a big enough bank account I can do just about anything I want. 105% pay out, no big deal if I don't mind taking a bath buying BTC on the open market. Think venture capitalists throwing money into it.
Using the theory of a 10,000 ph paying 415.00 BTC a day at the price of $4k a BTC that is $1,660,000 (using round numbers here for BTC now at $3800 and a 105% payout)
So if the pool *never* finds a block in 30 days and I get $50 million USD of venture capital I can still run for a month. How many pools would I kill in the process who saw their hash rate drop to 0.
Just my thoughts.

Just got an email notification that Shift is shutting down their card as of April 11th:
Is this the Coinbase card? What with Bitpay losing some banks the other day keeping money on a crypto debit card is starting to look like an even sketchier bet than the average crappy exchange. There's still £16 of mine out there somewhere stuck on a Wavecrest Bitpay card that I couldn't be arsed to reclaim. Yes, it's one issued through Coinbase. Last time I looked, if you wanted to go through all the grief you can still get the money back from Wavecrest for the card. But you are correct, for that little it's probably not worth the time. -Dave |

Just got an email notification that Shift is shutting down their card as of April 11th: Just as an FYI to everyone in case for some reason you did not get the email. -Dave Dear Shift Cardholder,
We hope you enjoyed using the Shift Card and truly thank you for your loyalty.
We, unfortunately, will be retiring the program in April of this year. All Shift Cards will be officially deactivated on April 11, 2019. Don't worry, your Shift Card will continue to work until that date. Feel free to email support@shiftpayments.com. if you have any questions and we'd be happy to answer.
We hope to re-launch the program and issue new cards in the near future. Thank you for your patience!
Sincerely,
The Shift Team |

Thanks guys for keeping this coin alive and kicking.
Do you still have access to the domain? It's now just a redirect to some ICO site. -Dave |

Mine just came in.
Look great. Thanks for making these.

So sometime overnight mine locked up. I could get to the GUI but nothing "worked"
I could SSH in but after entering the password nothing.
Did a full power cycle when I came in and I could ping it but not much more. Burned a new SD card and now it's happy again.

A few options on the table. PM May makes a deal (P2P will depend on said deal), No deal happens meaning WTO trade rules, leaving process delayed meaning status quo and finally don't leave at all. P2P won't change for any of those options.
Thanks. -Dave |

Or there are no stupid questions just stupid people...
I'm US based.
Anyway, I do a fair amount of trading (old PC / techstuff on another forum) with some people in GB. I know B2B stuff will have to deal with some things if Brexit happens (hard or soft) Is P2P going to have any changes? Seems like a VERY simple answer but nobody can tell me. The other forum was useless as I think I am one of the few (only?)active P2P people on there.
Thanks,
Dave

Previous wallets will no longer function at that point. Even if an older wallet is coded with the new pchmessage, all blocks generated by it will be rejected and a small percentage of its sent transactions will actually be accepted (due to DER encoding).
(...)
I am still not sure what truely happens here. To everyone here: The old members do get more and more quiet, as there is heavy (and plausible) uncertainty, what will happen to existing funds (despite that ones of one person) in the future. Shortly: Just why should ANYONE ELSE look at this inception as it would be an improvement? I only am citing from the above: "Previous wallets will no longer function at that point. Even if an older wallet is coded with the new pchmessage, all blocks generated by it will be rejected and a small percentage of its sent transactions will actually be accepted (due to DER encoding)." Now: What is the implication that should be a benefit to NDL-Holders, is this a win-win case or another robbery? So far there has not been a single positive argument for the less negative cases, so I still don't know what to think about it, - and because of that: Please everyone do your own dd. Greez. n. PPS: By the way, my announcement of sending 30 Million NDL to someone who creates an up to date wallet for this coin is still alive. It only should be a benefit for everyone involved benefitely ... so, perhaps we will have two chains in near future. The only difference is that if you are mining you have to mine with the new wallet. If you have funds in an old wallet they are safe. If you want to CPU mine now instead of just dropping to the console and typing setgenerate true, you have to put in a conf file and run a CPU miner. If you were mining with a video card nothing has changed. -Dave |
