Yes on this miner I want to keep warranty in tact.   Chances are I would run on spec so I don't want to ruin warranty to get specs.   If bitmain gave me permission without losing 90 day warranty I would try some other things, but I am not expecting this.

It looks like its aluminum but I could be wrong.  Is it the fan you were saying is not aluminum?     But yea hit up bitmain - https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us and get a new fan.

Your talking about pennies a hour in most cases sadly.  A faucet just is not worth the time for most.

I suggest looking at other options as faucets will waste a LOT of time for little pay.  Inveting, sig campaigns, mining, tons of options just faucet alone is really not good.

+3.01% to +3.25% please!

Yes please take pictures no aluminum body is very surprising.  I don't think they showed a unit without it on S5+ so please share it with us.

Mine is still working great. 

Sadly people will to to extreme lengths to scam people.   I did not click any of it as I don't want to possibly get infected or other bad things.

But if you clicked it change your password.   The good thing is I think you have to accept changes on payout in email.  I could be wrong but I think email confirms it.  So if I remember right that would help stop him.

What ever that site is using it's not looking great this period:

Conservative: 3.1% 4% Continous: 6.5 %

I hope that is wrong I'm missing our 2 percent changes we had.

Not sure Dogie let us know long ago that we were going to do it.  (I could be wrong but I think he was first).   But it seems to be true and no one really knows when S7 will be released yet.

But the S5+ could have easily had a S6 sticker slapped on it.  But they choose to do the plus model instead.

Sadly I would agree apartment renters are at a disadvantage.  Last time I was in one was college and I did not mine there I have always been lucky to have other places to keep my miners. 

You pretty much have to own it.  Most landlords will not want a ton of electric wires/equipment in apartment.   Luckily in my mining area I'm able to do pretty much what ever I want and that is a big advantage of owning the place.  I basically turned a garage/work area into mining area.   So far has worked pretty amazing made it through a summer so I'm happy.

And after trying 240 I'm not sure I want to do another 110.  240 with a nice pdu is just a heck of a setup.

Sadly that would be an example of someone trying to get a post without reading thread.  I hate when it happens as it makes all signatures look bad.

Chances are he will get looked into for poor quality.  He has a lot of short posts.  Chances are he is worried about post count not quality which will come back to bite him.

CK gave you a perfect anwser.  There just is not one fits all.  Each model has it's own personality.

What brand/model are you looking at?  You need to narrow it from all miners to model.

You will not be making 200 for mining on a computer these days.  Alt coin mining just is not there.

You really need asics at this point.  Even with cheap electricity CPU/GPU mining is not coming back.

Well it definitely passed the no networking/internet test.  Still getting it all kinda setup with my faster internet.  Was at least 30 minutes without like I said earlier.

No issues during that 30 minutes.  And after I fixed it up no issues at all today.  Working great still a very solid miner.

This is like a dream.  Being able to do "high-yield" is also a way if it goes wrong to have a high loss investment.  And in trading it can switch each time.

The chances of this working, is very slim.  And chances of getting others to trust you on it pretty much zero.

I think I am seeing a movement to 240.  Even hobby miners it seems like it is more popular that it was a year ago.

I know after putting a 240 in I love it so much electricity coming in the PDU.  I might go with a second 240 sometime instead of the 110's I had planned one day to finish wiring my main mining area.

To do this would take a LOT.  Remember bitcoins are money.  Money is not free.

You could have a massive mining setup and pull in 1 btc per day, but were talking a LOT of setup cost.   Easiest is to find a job and buy BTC.   At current price 225 or so times 365 your talking over 80k per year.

You just cannot get 80k per year without working or doing something very special.   

Depends on offense and how mods feel.  In this case it's pretty clear ban evasion with second account.   So it could be perma banned.

If he waits a few months and PM's admins possibly he gets them to unban.  But with spamming and ban evasion I think it's safe to say he is done.

This is a partial guess but I'm guessing since he had a low activity level they were talking about forum.  If you are new and go to loan forum without collertal you will almost 100 percent of time get a negative.   They do it to prevent scams so I can see why, but a new person wanting a loan here is good chance of negative.

As far as btcjam avoid it.  If the person decides to stop paying they give you the other persons information.   You are on your own to go after the person in court which depending on how you do it could be costly.  Not to mention some are different countries so it just gets complex if they don't pay.

The part I don't understand about his campaign is the:   

Legendary/Hero: 0.0013BTC - 0.002BTC per qualified post
Senior: 0.0011BTC - 0.0018BTC per qualified post
Full: 0.0008BTC - 0.0013BTC per qualified post

There are some big jumps on what considered quality posts.   Do you know before payment what your posts were rated at?   Or is it at time of payment you learn what they were rated at?

But as far as thread yes with member and full member you can easily make 1 BTC per year no problem on sig campaigns if used properly. And higher ranks yes even easier to do.
