When will these be available for non bulk ordering?

And how are sellers such as zoomhash getting 5?  Some are selling.  We just need to find out way for us non-resellers.
7562  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Antminer S4+ isnt turning on and they are under 1 week old. Help! on: August 01, 2015, 09:35:49 PM
You told that you cheched voltage and it was ok.Did you check it on boards or ac from wall?

I just rechecked it from wall and shows 110.7 and 117.8 volts


Read the second post again:

Ive had 3 of them for under a week and for some reason, after restarting them (unplugging and plugging back in) only one started and took a bit longer than i took when i first installed it, the other 2 only turned on the psu fan. What should I do? Might it be a couple of defective units? I just checked the voltage and everything seems to be alright.

To have 2 out of 3 defective is a lot.  Did you get them from Bitmain?  Or somewhere else?

Also are you using 110 or 220/240 electricity?  This is very important to know.

You need 220/240.   Yes you got lucky and one psu happens to work with the 110, but it was not designed for it at all.

Once you get the proper power they will run fine.
7563  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: cooling 12 miners s5 on: August 01, 2015, 09:32:42 PM
Thanks guys!  I do have use of relatively large amounts of space out of town where there's some good potential for power and cooling (none of it currently in place).  The general idea was to run these guys at home where I can keep a close eye on everything, and in the event of scale up move it all out there. 

It's winter now and ambients are 0 - 15c, noise becomes a non issue, for the minute I'm planning to move the 12 I have out there now. I'd be trading heat / noise issues for less reliable power (for the minute), and potential network issues, plus an hour drive if anything needed to be checked.  Come summer I'd be looking at ambients of 30 - 45c, large space and lack of insulation would bring new heat challenges to the table, but I've got a few ideas if I were to put em on water.  I expect much will have changed by then anyway, so probably best to cross that bridge when the time comes.

Hopefully will have everything online soon, will let you guys know what I come up with!



Power is not that hard to be honest.  But if you do not know what your doing get an electrician (in some places its required by code aswell).   

Cooling is a little harder.   You will have to refine it a little bit depending on the location and how you set up the miners.
7564  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Cooling the Antminer S5 With Mineral Oil - Is it Feasible? on: August 01, 2015, 09:29:30 PM
Your looking the wrong way.  Get a C1 and an S5 if for some reason you cannot use the fan's.   Mineral oil just seems like chances are a lot of work and I doubt it's made for it.

If you want silent look at Avalon 4.1's used.  They are VERY VERY quiet.

What do you pay for your power kW/h?
Why do you Need so much buttery packs?

It takes a LOT of battery's for that many watt's.  I don't know what hes paying though.  I think it is hard to justify solar.

I wish it was easier but cheap power going to it beats solar/wind as far as short term.

Badbear and Theymos, where the hell are you?

You should only wait, nothing else to do.

STFU. Am waiting for long time. Am loosing temper now. How will you feel if your account is locked for fucking silly reason. Just tell me  Angry

Talking to them like that will only slow it down.  I still think part of problem is you are not going back far enough on signing BTC address.

When you say you lost access to original email, and all old BTC address, looks like possible bought account.  I'm guessing that is slowing them down.  Looking into if it was a bought account or original owner.  I have no idea how in depth they want to get.  But they could go looking at IP's from beginning compared to recent, just a lot of things that could take time when they are already busy with many thing's.

I'll refill the wallet within 12 to 24 hours. Bitcoin boy will process the missed payouts once I've funded it. Sorry for the delay once again guys, everyone will be paid!

i hope there will not be any mistake, because besides the last missed payments, my post count for this week is being added to the last one causing a big confusion

It wont be a big confusion.  Most likely it will lead into us having a new payment day though.  It will pay out once refilled.   And a lot of us will have new payment dates most likely being one week from when this payment is.
7568  Economy / Services / Re: [BIT-X.com] Earn Bitcoins by Posting | Signature Campaign on: August 01, 2015, 03:16:44 PM
He is better off doing monthly payments in my opinion. Not sure why everyone is so worried though as they always pay. If he needs someone to hold the BTC and fill the wallet I can do it for him.

I like weekly payments.  I'm not worried I know he is limited internet.

Part of the reason of weekly is keep a hot wallet with less BTC.  If once a month hot wallet would have more BTC.    I think weekly works best for people and the hot wallet.  Its the limited internet that is slowing it down, but Macro will come through.
7569  Economy / Services / Re: [BIT-X.com] Earn Bitcoins by Posting | Signature Campaign on: July 31, 2015, 07:24:12 PM
The hot wallet is out of funds. I'll be refilling it as soon as possible. Your payment will be correct and your posts will continue to be counted.

Macro any word on when hot wallet will be funded?
7570  Other / Meta / Re: Account Hacked Ann. on: July 31, 2015, 04:02:00 PM
I've quickly searched through your posts and it does not seem like you have posted any address ever. Have you messaged anyone and posted it there or anything?
Unless you can provide a signed message, theymos can't do much for you.
I see that the only address he posted is for an altcoin. Do you think it would be acceptable if he signed a message using that altcoin's address?

It's far better then nothing.  BTC from a staked address is preferred, please anyone if you have not staked a safe address go do it now.

OP are you able to sign with the alt coin address?
7571  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Cloud Mining - Please help a newbie on: July 31, 2015, 03:56:49 PM
cloudmining today is either scam, not profitable or both. I'd stay away from it, there are better investments with high risk / decent rewards

Could you please suggest some better investments with high risk / decent rewards ?

Mining where it is cheap electricity, or a good cloud sites.  Not all are scams, I trust two personally sadly yes most are scams.

But other is investing in altcoins (highly risky), or other trading.  Or if you have a good skill you can sell it to others here.

Except for Cex.IO, which own the pool Ghash.IO, all other cloud mining site are equally shady.

Alt coins are just gambling. They are not investment.

Selling skill is earning. That is not an investment. I asked where the earned coins can be securely invested. By security, I dont mean that I can not lose. I know every investment comes with a risk. I only wanna make sure that the service wont evaporate overnight with my coin, the kind of guarantee I get at services like BitPay, CoinBase, Circle etc.

I only trust 2 sites on cloud.  On this I always say make your own choice, do research.

I trust hashnest which is controlled by Bitmain and has Bitmain Hardware behind it.  So we know some about it's tech.

Other is Bit-X it is known to be ran by BitFury Hardware.   So again know some about it's tech.

Those are two I have a little.  I mostly enjoy hardware in my mining areas though.

^^This does not prove anything at all. PB mining also gained initial trust of having hardware by selling some hash power on eBay. They, in fact, had some hash power in early days, but that is not anything compared to what they sold. What is needed to verify the authenticity of a cloud mining service is their mining address and hash power sold in real time. That is how you actually get to know whether they have real hash power that they are selling. Unfortunately, no cloud mining service today offers this information and hece all are equally shady. Please be responsible as a hero member and do not spread wrong information among newbies.

There is a huge difference between selling a few things of hardware and having a full datacenter of gear.  Most do not have a full data center.  I only trust 2 services myself.  And most I mine with my own hardware as I enjoy it.

I am not spreading wrong info.  Please do your own research before buying any investment including cloud miining.  I think you will find cloud mining is full of scams, and selling a few things on ebay is NOTING like having a data center of hardware.

PB mining is nothing like Hashnest or Bit-X.   You need to do some more research and stop spreading half truths, or even worse if you believe what you speak.

Most are going to make cents a hour.  It is sad but yes it is a start I guess.    The only ones that really make decent money are those who somehow refer people to do it. Or the biggest is the owner in most cases.

I stick with buy even just a little bit instead of doing faucets.  Most cases you will be far better off.

iTop up to $1500 now.

Yeah why not   Grin
Oh what a joke, they decided to go the hash while the hold and wait for buyers and especially while they're the cheapest currently. That is not how you make new customers when you are a small shop.

Honestly I hope all the scalpers get stuck with these and are forced to lower price.  I've seen stores lose value by having inventory before.  SilverFish 28, A2's, etc dropped in price so fast it was not funny.

I wish sfards well.  Just wish it was easier to get one at a fair price.

You can make more than 1 bitcoin if you read this forum.

actually there's no need to read the whole forum to learn how to make 1 btc a year. just read this thread. you can find like 50+ different ways of making 1 btc on this thread  Grin

This is very true.  One great thing about bitcoin is there is not 1 way to make it.  There are many different way's.

For example I still mine, and enjoy it.  Combine that with a little trading, and sig campaign, it can be a fun way  for me.  But everyone is different on what they enjoy.  Do what you enjoy.
7577  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Just a friendly advice for the new guys on: July 31, 2015, 02:30:53 AM
I assume that, when all of us first heard of bitcoins and started reading about it, all of us made our first few satoshis on some faucet like freebitco.in or any other, and everything was like "I'm gonna make so much bitcoins with this!". But when you use if for some time and get a little bit more into bitcoin, you'll see that that amount you've collected over a week or so, is barely worth a penny.
So here's the advice, when you first come here and read all about them faucets, don't get your hopes up (like I did) thinking you will make something out of it. Owners of those faucets are the only ones who will profit. Faucets are there just in the beginning to help you see what it's like to receive, own, send bitcoins and how to use your wallet.

Use the faucets, see how it feels to have bitcoins but don't expect anything more than that.

Well I consider a faucet as a starter, once doing 0.05 BTC or so move to invest in cloud mining ( and here expect no miracles either). I tested a package from Zeushash which returned the invest after 30 days, and the purchased 5GHz (for 0.062 BTC) just yielded around 0.00136 BTC. Now purchasing the same 5 GHz in the next package costs even more than 1 month ago!

thinking to test trustable HYIP with some low amount, 0.035 BTC and see what happens

Don't waste your time with faucets.  You will get paid pennies for hours of work.  It just is not worth it.

Buy .05 BTC if you need it and save your self day's/month worth of faucet.
7578  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] Sfards: SF100-the first 28nm Dual-Mode Miner gets into mass production on: July 31, 2015, 02:25:03 AM
Someone posted this on bitcointalk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1134060.0), I have never heard of them before and it looks like they haven't been around that long from the twitter account.

I also do not see any good company info

They claim to be selling sfards miners http://www.itop-corp.com/

Looks fishy to me

I suspect not to be real they show stock: Units in Stock:100

If they had some I don't see that site having backing for 100 units.   Were talking around 100k usd or more... i don't see it.   Also  the site is weird as far as variety of items.  

Hi, thanks for your feedback. You're right that 100 items was incorrect and you're right about the Twitter and website being quite new. We started on Taobao and Alibaba then later eBay and have had a lot of growth in the past few years so have decided to test the water in the rest of the world. We're starting up independently where we have more control of our products and services and more direct dealings with our customers to offer a more complete service. Case in point - The Silverfish miners had a problem when the authentication server went down. Through Taobao/eBay, there wasn't much we could do (they like to stop sellers and buyers from communicating directly) and we had to put a message into the store page to our customers and hope they got it to let them know about an updated firmware.

Going independent allows us to communicate directly with customers and avoid these problems going forwards.

The Sfards miner: http://www.itopshop.net/sfards-28nm-sha256-and-scrypt-dual-miner-p-243.html (we have 2 with more coming very soon)

The stock levels on the website aren't all correct right now as we only have a small team transferring everything from Taobao and Alibaba to the new website but if it's on the site you can at least know that it's in stock. We're working hard to get everything up to date and added. You'll see our product catalog grow as we get more things online.

Here's the recent thread I started to introduce the company: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1134060

If you notice any other problems or have any questions then please feel free to contact me by PM here or email (see my profile). As I said before, we're committed to excellent customer service and we have a proven record on Taobao, Alibaba and eBay. It'll take some time to get that reputation after a fresh start so of course we'll be trying even harder.

Biggest red flag i see is they are still selling SilverFish miners.  I'm not saying they are scammers just selling crap gear. 

But the SF-28 I had was a pain as time went on and I think they had a license issue as they connected to server.  I know they fixed it now.  Not to mention I had to baby that thing and even right a batch file to restart it.   

Most good mining sites have stopped selling SF miners.
7579  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ASUS Chromebox M075u on: July 30, 2015, 06:55:53 PM
This isn't exactly a mining question, as I know that these days you need and ASIC for that.  However, I'm trying to figure out some stuff about hardware and I think you guys can answer some questions that I'm a little confused about.

I was looking at this ASUS chromebox which has an i3-4010U processor (with some kind of onboard HD 4400 graphics).   I've sen online that you can remove some screw and then flash whatever system you want, so I'd be running debian on it.  What I'm trying to figure out is if this kind of machine could run openCL stuff, like, for example, vanitygen-ocl.

In the past I had an ASUS zenbook which supposedly had an Intel HD gpu, but I couldn't actually use the GPU for gpu mining or OCL because apparantely it' wasn't the same thing as the "standalone" graphics card.  Is that coing to be the same deal on this chromebox?

Thanks for the insight, hardware gurus!

The GPU is the important part in the openCL things.  This is some stock junk intel.

No it will not be great for mining or vanitygen.   Look into real desktops if you really need to do this kinda thing.  But it's hard to justify the GPU cost unless your a gamer or something and this is just on the side.

Thanks notlist3d.  I understand from your reply that opencl would work on this box, just not very quickly?  That's a step ahead of what I experienced on the ASUS zenbook.

Follow up, I also saw this ASUS chromebox: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-CHROMEBOX-M107U-ASUS-Desktop/dp/B00O1A4OBQ/ and it's listed as having the same chip i3-4010U, but it has an additional line in the specs "Grahpics Co Processor".  At least at first glance, this is the only difference between the two chromeboxes.  Do you think this second one has a "real" GPU?

I guess my goal here is to get an "okay" linux desktop.  I've been living for a long time cheap-o laptops and these function well for me 95% of the time.  The other 5% of the time I'm trying to compile a big program and I have to wait 10 minutes per build, or I'm playing agar.io and my CPU is maxxed out, or yah, maybe I want to do a vanitygen and a 5 character address is going to take 5 days.  Does this make sense?  I don't need a really great GPU, but if I'm going to spend some money on a desktop, I want to at least have something.  For the record, that ASUS zenbook I had was just a loaner, it was a great laptop, but it wasn't mine.  Mine (currently) is a three year old Acer Aspire One 722-bz545 (AMD C-50 APU).

I wonder if you have any suggestions, then, about a "real desktop".  I'd be running GNU/Linux (most likely debian) and I'd like to keep the cost < $500.

Thanks again!

I think your looking at two different machines.  Those are good chrome boxes that will run linux fine.  Could be a media machine lots of possibilities.

But you really want to get a dedicated GPU.  Just for example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?sdtid=7992957&SID=7097dbd451dd474182611a99ea14d64b&AID=10440897&PID=1225267&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na&Item=N82E16814202145&cm_sp=   will blow away CPU/onboard intel.   But it's hard to justify cost's anymore since GPU mining is pretty much dead.

I have a few 270X's I kept from GPU day's incase I wanted to do like vanity gen.  I have pulled them out once for vanity gen.  It sounds neat... but it is not something you will use often I will guess.
