I would like to start advertising bitcoin more and put stickers on birthday gifts, Christmas presents, etc. so people will know the items were bought with bitcoin. I am looking for something like this:  But with "Bought with" along the outer edge and be about 1.25" in size so they can easily be placed on small items even gift cards. Anyone have this or something similar for sale? Or know where I can get them. TIA |

Is the gateway correct? Sounds like it can not contact to the pool to get work.

I never thought it would ever free me from taxes.
Only 3 things for sure in life; Birth, Death, and Taxes
Disagreed for me  Only two things for me and they are Birth and death like you said but without taxes . Bitcoin will free me to pay taxes or any other Online payment method , in my country no one basically use Paypal etc ... and they don't really care so any kind of digital money you have is safe and they won't know about it at all . and Bitcoin is even better then Paypal so yeah ... BTC forever <3 ~ Madness. You have no income tax, sales tax, fuel tax, etc etc in your country? I want to live there, just our of curiosity what country do you live in? |

Bitmain is probably retiring old miners, maybe a hall of S2's?  You all should be happy about this, this means a difficulty drop in the future |

Anyone ever have problems using thei Bitmine Coincraft Desk G2's on the Eligius pool?
I set it up correctly, it gets work, no errors, but the pool it not seeing the miner nor the work it is performing. Switch it to Ghash.io and every thing work as it should.
Anyone run into this or have any ideas?
Thanks.

I would not try solo mining unless you are >1Ph, the law of averages just work better for you in a pool till you go really big.

Nice being able to pull all of that at home!
My home was built in the 60s, and had some serious wiring modifications done by the previous owner.
The garage was converted into the Master Bedroom. While I haven't figured out every detail (I will) but the other night the breaker blew which I thought was the main breaker for the main box. Everything on the end of the house with the converted garage / MB went black but the other end of the house kept chugging right along. (Half my miners went down as well).
Fortunately I always check with a meter before performing any wiring, and have a bud who is licensed.
I assume I only have 100 amp service and that is what my friend said, but he works with me now and hasn't been "in the field". He also hasn't looked at everything outside. I wonder if I do have more service.
The breaker which blew was a 70. It is HOT here for freaking January, almost 80 degrees now!
It is funny you mention the washer and dryer. I do not know what others have done and I'm sure mine isn't the craziest, but at the moment the stove is disconnected so I could use that 240 circuit for my S4. The S4 is sitting on the kitchen counter with a DSP2000 and some monster fans. My daughters are not pleased. Wait until they see what I have planned for the oven which is separate from the stove as it is a cooktop. The bigger wire must be ran to the Oven as both it and the cook top are on a 50 amp breaker.
There is a 20 amp breaker which also kills the same lights int he master bedroom / bath / renovated garage as the 70 which blew. I am going to have to pull the panel to figure out exactly what they did. Moving the rest of the miners to 240 anyway, but I want to know where every wire is connected.
Very much off topic, but I have a question about power:
I am trying to decide whether I should purchase a PDU for the 240, or simply build a junction box with terminal strips inside and handy plug-ins. (I will make sure everything is rated correctly and checked by a licensed Electrician).
Money isn't the biggest concern, but it is important, but what is the thought process for miners with 20+ units?
My 20 will change to less units with more hasrate over the next couple of months so it is hard to predict what I will need, but what do you guys put together or buy for home use on 240?
I just had deja vu reading your post. My house is built around the same time, and yes the garage was converted to a big master bedroom. Yep my breaker box is located in what is now the bedroom. Only difference is I concentrated all my miners in the utility/laundry room which is across the house. I started by converting two dedicated circuits taht were 120V 20A in the utility room to 240V 20A, one was washer and the other was for a deep freezer most likely. I then ran 4 - 30A 240V circuits recently from breaker to plug with all new wire, yes some of the wire running was a pain and tore up some sheetrock but that is easy to fix. Nice thinking I never thought of using the stove as I do have a gas stove so I may have a spare large circuit, but with all my circuits I have 160A of 240V which is enough for the next month. I use PDU's this way I can monitor amps used and try to keep them below the 80% code requirement also to troubleshoot breakers that pop. |

Usually the profit is a percentage of how much you spend on miners. Your profit can be 20% in 6 months, but 20% of $100 is not much over 6 months.
You can profit mining at home, I do and my ROI is usually 60 days or less otherwise I do not buy the hardware.

I would of bought an anteater and named him Fred, but that is just me.

If your not comfortable hire an electrician.
Also the biggest advice I can give you, run your outlets at 240V this decreases then thickness of wire needed, the amount of amps and the heat generated given a set amount of watts.
Example: 20A @ 240V = 4800W if you run 120V you would need 40A for the same wattage and much more expensive installation.
Good luck.

I will answer one of these cause I do not own any R-Box's.
4. Always try to use a wired when available, wireless can work but wired is always the best bet.

1. Install Wireshark on a laptop
2. Connect the laptop to the S3 via a crossover cable
3. Start wireshark and select the interface connected to the S3
4. Look at the packets, find the arp hello of the miner, and it asking for it gateway arp
5. Set your laptop to the same network to the same as the miner and reconfigure it

How does your house handle that? Did you make custom changes to the electrics in the house? Are you worried about an electrical fire?
I ran a total of 4 30A 2 Pole circuits, What you see in that pic is about 2 30A circuits, but you could probably use the 30A dryer connection and convert the dedicated 20A for the washer to 240V and do the same I am doing without running new wires. Nope no worries about fire at all. I used 10-2 Romex Copper which is within code, wire temp is a comfortable 42C well below the 60C its rated for. Currently pulling 104A on each phase at the main breaker for the whole house, I currently have a temp problem with my main breaker that limits me to 120A or it overheats and pops. Probably just old and has a poor connection to the bus, I will be replacing it with a brand new 225A as my bus is rated for 225A and ramping up to 180A per phase or 43KW hopefully this week. |

Every time that I read "kWh / hour" it hurts my eyes, and "kW/h" even more, so let me make this reminder: - Energy is a given amount of power over a given amount of time
- kW quantifies power
- kWh quantifies energy, like joule (1 kWh = 3600 kJ)
- kWh are kilowatts times (multiplied by) hours, not kilowatts per (divided by) hour
- kWh/hour is kilowatt × hour ÷ hour, so 1 kWh/hour is simply 1 kW
Thanks for your attention  Mathematically you are correct but we were saying or at least I was Kwh per hour. As since electricity is billed in KwH it is more of a reference to a unit of expenditure. So if I say 1000KwH I have to include the time at which this was billed by the power company cause you can have 1000KwH in 1 minute or you can have 1000KwH accumulated in a year. So since it is a measure of billing a reference to the time frame it took to bill that must be included at least in this thread, |

I run about 550 Kwh per day. With 30 S3s, 18 BTC Garden V2 and a pile of S1
Posted From bitcointalk.org Android App
Wow, there is no way you do this at home is there? Do you rent out a place to mine? This is 22kw/h, its quite possible to do it from home(depending if he has the infrastructure to do it) but its not likely. Where I work, only a very small office nearly residential size, we drink around 20 - 25kw/h on aircon, lighting, systems etc. Unless of course he means 550kw/h... in which case it would be industrial. Sarge is correct you can do 25Kwh per hour pretty easy at most homes, I have ran more circuits and currently can provide up to 40Kwh per hour and soon in the future will be able to do 75Kwh per hour in about a month, after that it will be Data Center or industrial location for me. |
