may all be a moot point don't know what will be asking price and shipping price of the big one.
Yeah, it could become a rather pricey experiment to conduct (big $$$$). Yep it is a pricey experiment. Although I did risk more one my first dragon. I would love to have a S5+ running on my 240 line. It just is hard to predict when next gen effects it. If I order one and next gen comes out in a month or two I will feel like an idiot most likely. But if they put off next gen till a certain point yes it's worth it. So much unknown it's really speculating. |

What do you think about Uranus I think it doesn't exist, making any and all follow-up questions moot and potentially lending legitimacy where none should be given. This is the truth. Wonder why there is just a rendering? It most likely is since there has not even been a prototype produced. Right now they ship a scrypt miner for 4x or more then other site with same miner just different sticker. They most likely are waiting till someone else produces chips and chances are design then they might ship a Uranus. Or they keep selling pre-order and give reasons on why it is not shipped. So either they wait till far down the road and ship making massive margins, or they wait and don't ship and go into the sunset. No one really knows on Uranus. |

I think the biggest market for a "100W USBx port" will be for device charging (e.g. phone, tablet, etc). While a higher power port would be great for USB stick miners, it won't drive the adoption.
Most devices will not handle near that though. There are some that the quicker charging stations with more power but I don't think it's near 100w. I think it will be years if they even do release something like this. I mean usb 2.0 hangs around on a lot of devices still even with 3.0 out there. It's hard to get people to move to next gen. Takes time for them to get enough devices to do it. |

For the last month or so, the speculation has been that Bitmain was replacing used S5's with "as yet unreleased" S7 miners. It could be that it was actually S5+ miners rather than S7's. While the S5+ has it's advantages, it's really a repackaging of the S5 technology, and nothing like the previous increases (e.g. S5 over S3).
If the actual replacement has been s5+ miners, then that suggests to me that the S7 will be even later than many had expected/hoped. Right now it's hard to see what will motivate Bitmain to actually release an S7, assuming it has actually got the ASIC work and other engineering completed. It's possible folks have been assuming Bitmain is further along than they actually are.
Just my $.02.
yeah more then possible more like it is true. In fact they may not release the s-7 until nov this year. The S5+ surprised me on releasing. It is a way to get rid of ALOT of old chips. So makes me wonder if they have a stockpile of chips, or just can produce them cheap at this point. I think it will be a bit till next chip. I think it will be based more off when it makes the most financial sense for them, not when we need it. Also other companies could push it to be launched to. |

you can try data recovering tools if you had some significative amount of coins, or even professional data recovery if you had a big amount of coins and no backup
but nothing is warranted
It all depends on how many coins OP had. I'm guessing with this mistake not a ton, but I could be surprised. If you had a lot (were talking enough for a data recovery expert) then shut down computer and don't use it. You will pay a LOT and have a chance of getting it, again it is far from guaranteed. And in 99 percent of these the cost of the expert would be worth more the the loss of the amount of BTC. |

hello my frineds
iam on the internet since 2004 and iam web dev and there is not many works those days
so me and frineds mohamed and ahmed we tried to earn with faucets and we earned just 13 $ btc in like 4 weaks pleas guys
help us to make bitcoin easy i dont find anything to help so you do
First off you might as well stop on faucets. You will spend hours for cents, you would have to live in a horrible economy for it to be worth it. My best advice get more involved in the forums. Bitcoin is not "easy" to get it is money. If you have services which sounds like you might then look into selling those. I think that is your quickest way. Or doing job and buying BTC. Either way it beats faucets. |

I don't know I see a lot of problems in this. First the whole part about getting it into space.
But what radio freq are they going to use? I see getting the freq and also getting ability to encrypt traffic as problem. A lot of freq such as amateur radio range have lots of rules. If done right some can bounce off space station, etc. But a amateur radio operator cannot encrypt the traffic or big FCC problems.
All this can be solved. But the will need a backer with deep pockets.

Missing some information. What Antminer miner model are you using? There are MANY different ones.
Also what firmware are you using?

lot of people are "receiving" these but no one can be bothered to post some pics...
Maybe they're too embarrassed?  It's been weeks since sfards commented on their product - I'm beginning to think they screwed up & it's now dead in the water. Either that or they're shipping miners to their own farm & there won't be any public sales until they've mined the f*ck out of them themselves - then charge stupid prices for used units. Dejavu? I think they sent out batches of just 5 each to people that pre-ordered and they are running the rest themselves until the halving for LTC happens. I vote for this as to what they did. Which was why I knew I would not be getting one anytime soon. It is interesting the amount that received 5. I would agree this was some sort of planned shipment, no way it just happened. Also it seems it was strategic on who got the 5. Seems big buyers and resellers. Resellers are interesting as SFards most likely wants to make them happy for future batches, so sold some of them 5 to have them carry it. Wish I would have had the chance even at 5 I possibly would have done it and split it up to a small GB. Not jacking up prices on resell. So I'm hoping someone will do a fair priced GB in future. |

The spec, as described in what's linked above, first tests the connection to see what kind of current the cabling can handle. The peak current delivered is 5A, which I find pretty high for USB since most jacks I've seen are rated for 2A or less. The voltage increase (from 5V up to 12 or 20) gives you a substantial power transfer increase without a substantial increase in resistive losses (which would be based more on current throughput). Sure you'd need a solid cable to run 100W but a "typical" cable could probably handle the 18W through 60W profiles without a lot of trouble. A fully-USB 60W pod miner would be pretty smexy.
I don't disagree about that. A pod that had power specs around that would be very nice. Espically if you could do lets say 10 of them on a hub. Would be a great thing for miners (assuming price is not horrible for hubs, and new gear that are up to spec to handle it). I don't see this moving fast though. Consumer gear just does not need near this in most cases. Most people will be using keyboards, mice, usb drives, etc. Us miners sadly make up a small section of market. |

I just toke a look on those threads , this looks like a bad investmet for individuals lol ,the concept sounds easy and profitable but the reality is a whole different story The problem is the amount of power most miners use. If you have a decent amount it just leads into a decent amount of gear to do solar/wind which means its going to be expensive. I wish it was cheaper I would love it if it was possible for a reasonable price. But as far as now it's really out of reach vs finding cheap electricity. Maybe one day in the future, but we are not there yet. Thats sems to be our case here ,finding cheap electricity is far more convenient for now, I don't think its a for now thing. I think it will remain cheaper for the foreseeable future. The initial cost will always be there, and miners will need more then standard house doing it. Only way it will change is if big tax benefits that bring price to cheap. I don't see the gear such as battery's in quantity a miner needs going down soon, so tax benefit is main possibility. But even if that happens I think it will be limited to less then miner needs. |

I received mine. Minor and Potential issues aside, the unit perform well, and is very efficient. Overclocking a bit does not reduce efficiency, it actually improve it by a little bit. I'm running longer tests now but i think this is because the Hashrate/W efficiency stays the same but the fan does not run faster, so there is a very minor efficiency gain while overclocking to up to 400~ Also its loud as hell. I posted a graph with numbers if you're a number person. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1151326.0Thanks for posting and letting us know what this "used" batch is like. It is a interesting batch to say the least. And yes the S5 has some sound and heat to it. It is not made to be in a area needing a quiet miner really. |

Faucets
Sign up for every single faucet you see online and use them everyday.
report back after a month. Drops make the ocean
But if they did something else with that time they would be so much better off. Imagine if they worked for a few hours and bought BTC they would be so far ahead of someone who did faucets all month. Even looking at services they find one good one to do I bet it makes more then a month of faucet. Or sig campaigns even the small ones, you will be doing normal posting and make more then faucets. |

well u can also invest in cloud mining services ... genesis and bit-x seems trust worthy ,even though they r a long term shit
the only way to earn bitcoins that fast is through "GAMBLING" muhahaha i love gambling
you said the only way to earn bitcoins that fasts is GAMBLING, but i think the fastest way to lose your money is gambling ( hahaha just kidding ) by the way what kind of cloud mining services that you invested your money? prolly scrypt.cc and on side zeus and genesis Most all ponzi scheme. Better to buy a hardware mining/ or maybe build a mining farm for yourself, if you want to invest in mining. better don't advetise cloud mining companies if you know that they are ponzi schemes that will steal people's money sooner or later Be careful with cloud mining most sadly are scams. It is just to easy for someone to set up a website and make it look like there is mining gear that does not exist and turn it into a ponzi. Ask questions when investing. My biggest is what gear is being used. I personally only trust 2 different ones. But I will leave it up to you to research and make up your own mind what ones are "good" |

Combine all the possible method of earning bitcoins and that is the best way. In exchange it will consume most of your time in your lifetime.
Combine all GOOD methods. I would agree a mixture is best compared to picking one way. But some methods are not so good. For example I say for most skip faucets, pennies for hours is a waste. But combining mining, trading, etc could lead to good profits. |

For USA customers , ITOP Shop will Ship locally from NY , thanks. Will that price include shipping? If Bitmain is selling direct for $2750, I'd rather go there, ship direct and take my chances with customs. Your price is too high to yet add shipping on top, if their price does end up as stated. You can bet his price will be higher !!! . AND NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING . Yea it's the new thing to do it seems to buy miners and jack up price and resell. Just look at SFards people going from 1200 to 2k. I guess at least this seller did not do that extent of raising price. But resellers might be the new trend they buy run it and sell at profit. I hope Bitmain sells the S5 Plus to the rest of the world to keep price down some. |

Ouch I really hope we don't go in the more part. We have had a good summer on low amounts. But i guess it depends if it's a one week raise or if we get it each change if who ever pumps out a lot of them. I know it is going to happen I just was hoping closer to winter. *Edit after thinking It could also be S5+'s. Bitmain is and has sold S5's that were "used" on latest ones so that leaves holes on their racks .... so the easily could have put S5+ in slots where S5's were. Also some could be customers of S5 +. |

Yeah, you could even build a Rockerbox stickminer. It'd still be stupid, but at least it'd be possible.
Also, every stick you just mentioned would catch fire unless the hub regulated input power down to 5V. Spec says full power comes at 20Vin which would smoke pretty much every USB device ever made.
I would agree going to 100 watt vs the amount on usb 2/3 is just crazy. All old usb cords would also not be up to par to do 100 w. So devices and cords not made for it. I don't see it being adapted. Yes a miner might use it but most consumers just don't need it. I would rather stick with a PSU on that many watts anyways. |

Mikestang - going to change the IP address as it is currently set to what you suggested and hopefully that will work.
I have an old laptop I use for just this task - I change it's IP address to match the miner so I don't have to mess with my good network computers, then change the IP on the miner. Once you do that and 'save and apply' you'll no longer have access to it on the laptop, but you should be able to bring it up on your regular computer. Using a laptop or extra network router is a great way to do it. Laptop if you know what your doing makes it nice as it does not take long to setup. And can change to normal very quickly. Router is also not hard, if you have a extra and on normal router use a weird IP address range worth having around. Took both your advice, got an additional router but changes the IP address of the S3 miner manually before connecting and somehow still managed to login using the default IP (may have been luck) password and IP have been changed and i've managed to connect to the miner through the router. I've had a look at two different YouTube tutorial for configuration and a little confused on the "miner configuration", at the moment im registered with slushes pool; Pool 1 - stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 / stratum+tcp://eu.stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 Pool1 worker - dumbasstest / os1234.dumbasstest Pool1 password - anything this is the information i'm inputting (tried different combinations)but it i'm still getting no response within the "Miner Status". i've also tried to use my waller address as pool1 worker but same outcome, is this not the correct information? Can you post a picture of miner pool configuration? And also network configuration? With pics of those two we should be able to better help. |
