761  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Now that usb sticks are being sold by sidehack here is a new usb hub thread. on: December 12, 2018, 04:31:24 PM
What is the spacing of the usb slots like on the Tripplite?

Mainly interested in how many Newpacs it can support?

It looks like it could support 16 @ 300MHz or less with 5v per slot if the spacing is adequate otherwise only 8 if they are too close.

Spacing should be good if they're all facing the same way I'm told. This listed to work on 110; 120; 127; 200; 208; 220; 230; 240 and there is a 230v and 110/120v 32 port version as well in a 2U design. All are 2.4A per port.

200 is stock I believe. Try there after a decent break and maybe separate instances with --usb :1 if you haven't.

Could use a high end desktop psu with 1200w if looking for quiet psu for in home for 1000w or less. There isn't much that is "competitive" anymore for in home mining that is quiet though, imho. Just older hardware.

No, I'm losing money if my income from mining is less than what I have to pay to do the mining.
You are confusing "investment" and "mining" - and I don't have the LUXURY of just hanging onto my mined cryptocoin as an investment, I have bills to pay and no other income source to pay them with.

It's true you're losing money. What most don't see is the benefit to mining at lower diff if your time preference is low or lower or lowest. Or simply have really cheap power. There is no point for most to mine if there isn't profit. Fact. Power down now. It's understandable, is sound, is good business. If you aren't equipped to weather the storm as a business or hobbyist, power down. Really very simple. The beauty of bitcoin is in the simplicity.

People want to debate about a death spiral. Not happening. Mass computation. Not happening. You want to protect the network, run a full validating node with some hash on it.

Bitmain got greedy, which is understandable actually. Is what people expect if you're not a steward. Hash means nothing if consensus doesn't follow. And consensus is more than just running software in the world.

This would be the best way to sell gear actually. NOT MINE AS A MANUFACTURER.

I would always project 27.6% at this point.

Cooling was on all night (case fan) aimed straight at the pcb and heatsink.

I'll check it again once I get home

I had a 2pac with this same issue. 419's advice is solid. Even a quick unplug, replug didn't help right off but eventually it started hashing. If it's OC'd I reset to stock after a rest and drive it back up slowly.

Yea, the T15 and S15 have LPM setting as well.

Philip and Mr Li, keeping the gear in China avoids the US tariffs correct? If so your ability to provide the gear at good price AND hosting is a VERY attractive offer. I might be interested as well, pending your hosting details.

Duties are only applied on imports, if you host in China that is a best case scenario with a trusted entity since they are not leaving or entering another country.

I imagine we'll have a burst of celebration posts to inform everyone.

A shipping company has given us a "free ride" on some orders to a certain dollar amount. We're looking at verifying, but there are some stipulations we have to follow for them to soak the duties for us. We'll see how that goes, let me know if you want to be guinea pig.

You're still getting paid for every, single, hash here regardless of ramp up. If anything it's just more BTC per block as we sip some on some good shit. Personally as a hobby miner I'll be able to soak one more month of all four of my units online after that I'll be fine with one s9 LPM and some newpacs running. My gpu's will go offline before those.

65 dollar coupons

and Know your customer is in effect.

I do not want my passport info in their hands.

Yea, reason I don't shop personally with huge companies as much as possible. Anything I need I just ask them here to get it for me. We have some buyers who pay more in shipping just so the deliveries are routed through us and not directly to them. Even a little buffer goes I a long way I suppose.

This is really getting off topic now isn't it? Bitcoin is a currency, a store of value. The freedom is that you're sovereign to do what you wish with it like any other money. The great thing is that it's yours if you hold your keys. As far as mining for profit, I do and I don't. I'll be excited for the day when there is no reference to a fiat market.   

Bitmain looks like they're taking notes and releasing more gear. All said and done the S11 should have been release earlier this year Q2. They may be better off, then their fun with altcoins really is what killed them anyway. That and budgeting for a market/demand at 20k. I suppose my philosophy is about establishing roots, not growing branches. Leaves, flowers, fruits will come if you're able to sustain them.
774  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer D5 and DR5 on: December 11, 2018, 03:22:26 PM
Bitmain listed the DR5 and S11 on their English site now. Enjoy.

About 50 days or so I believe.

I sent him 6 points for that 3 for you and 3 for  me.

What a guy! To early for a beer on the west coast but a little dab for ya this morning philipma.

Looks like Bitmain is adjusting to market at least for the new gear. Still holding back DR5 for just Chinese market can't be helping their numbers since most miners are hungry for profits. Though Q3 shows a dramatic loss, obviously with Q4 releases they're recouping some of those losses. Still their budget is shot for the year. With news of the closure is Iran or was Israel? I imagine they've been trimming fat since Q2.
778  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Now that usb sticks are being sold by sidehack here is a new usb hub thread. on: December 10, 2018, 06:47:09 AM
Well this showed up on our site. https://www.minefarmbuy.com/accessories/tripplite-usb-hub

Though I'm really happy with the Gekko Science demo sidehack sent and I heard there's going to be updates to it before release. Thanks again for the nudge to have them let me test btw sh. I guess I did sneak away with all the 2pacs before and this round they just told me to keep the newpac demo's we did our media with. 2% commission only goes so far for these guys. Keep them busy for me. mineon.

Oh if I had merit to give to that. I'll just open another beer, cheers sidehack.
