I think we all know that whatever statics shown by the solo pool are practically useless. they do not reflect our chances of hitting the next block. but it is emotionally encouraging  to see people on the same "SOLO" pool finding blocks . i don't know how to explain it well enough but i am sure most of you can relate 

So after the Sia hardfork.  a dozen of Bitmain A3 and Innosilicon S11 became worthless paper weight.

so last night i was helping a friend of mine , trying to find if he could still mine anything with his door stoppers ( he has a bunch of A3s and a few S11s).

so after some research , I found this > https://siaclassic.org/

you can also read about it on this forum >  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5056837.0


all you need to do start mining sia classic is

1- Download the wallet > Sia-UI v 1.3.5 https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-UI/releases/tag/v1.3.5

**make sure the wallet is v1.3.5 or lower.


2- Connect to one of these mining pools.

MINING POOLS

You can mine SiaClassic in the following pools:

- Poolin.com https://help.poolin.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018798311-Poolin-com-Announcement-about-Sia-Hardfork-and-Poolin-Mining-Service-for-SiaClassic

- SiaMining.com https://classic.siamining.com/      > there is currently 25.4 PH pointed to this pool , so kindly support smaller pools .

- f2pool.com https://blog.f2pool.com/en/announcement-en/sc_hard_fork_en

-------------------------------------------------------------

Sadly, there is no real $$$ value for Siaclassic, but the project seems to be promising, so you will be mining at total risk , should this coin became of a high value, you will end up with lots of $$$$ , should it go no where, you will end up paying your electricity bills for no reward, but seeing such huge hashing power pointed to this coin, only shows that people have faith in it. again DYOR and do it at your own risk.

39$ + 95$ psu + 100 $to 140 $ shipping . we will take 120$ as an average.

that is 254$ of total cost.


so , if you are paying anything above 4 cents per kw  then your profit is NEGATIVE.

according to what to mine, assuming you pay 4 cents per kw you get 17 cents mining dash ( do not bother about what Nicehash show or those other coins on cryptopia that you can't even find a proper pool for.


so 17 cents daily. for the sake of simplicity , we will assume difficulty stays the same, and dash price spikes up real good almost 100% . and you make 25 cents a day


.25 * 30 =  7.5 $

ROI = 254 / 7.5 = 33.8 months .


in plain English, even with free power you will never ROI on this thing, i bet a horse that the hash boards will be bricked long before you ROI.

good luck.

says the newbie .  you clearly don't know shit , bought sia ATH and now waiting for moon. good luck  

I do not think this will last for long. many D3s miners are running at a very tiny profit, same thing goes to A5 miners " slightly better profit" pretty soon those miners will have to be shut down. leaving the whole network under control by the spx36.  i feel bad for those people who recently invested in inno a5 and bitmain D3 miners. many of them will not be able to ROI , and i am pretty sure even the Sp36 guys will not be able to ROI as this product is insanely expensive and it will not be too far before greedy bitmain/inno release a much cheaper and more efficient x11 miners.

why do  sia fans get butt-hurt when someone tries to spot the light on a wrong behavior ? everyone is defending the fork and i am pretty sure most of you do not understand the reason behind it, but it's there. it's stated by the dev on their blog saying;
https://blog.sia.tech/sia-proof-of-work-reset-24b5ec439625

the fork was mainly done to brick Inno and Bitmain asics so that the dev team who are heavily invested obelisk asic can protect their investment in the mining world.

the story is there , it is simple and everyone can read it. Sia dev team came up with a great project , they did a great work in raising the price making use of the last bull run. sold a huge amount of their hodlings for a good amount of fiat , re-invested that in the Mining world, spend couple millions in their Sc1 miner, things were starting to look so bright for the devs / investors . only for a little while before Bitmain dropped a bomb "A3" on Sc1 , and not too long after that Inno dropped a bigger bomb "S11" which was technically/economically  impossible for the obelisk team to compete with. so then they had millions of dollars in worthless ASICs , while sia price is not doing any moves due to the overall bear market. so what to do ? !Hardfork! .

i am not hating on SIA as i do believe it is a great project " i am supporting the SIA classic project now" , but if any of you use your common sense, you will understand that this hardfork has no benefits for the project itself.

now unless you are a noob in crypto, or stuck with bunch of obelisk miners then you should understand that a fork which is technically unnecessary is bad for the overall project.

-the Sia community is now split into 4 groups > https://siamining.com/chains.
-the network is more centralized than ever.
-the total hashrate is too small given the bad performance of the SC1 miners (550 GH/S ) as apposed to (3830 + GH/S) for inno S11 which costs much less than the SC1.

the network is now so vulnerable, all what Inno needs to do to perform a 51% attack on sia is about 700  S11s (based on current network hashrate of 4.73 PH/)  that can mine on the new fork.

now if this does not ring a bill in your head, then nothing will. but  i am sure one day you will wake and smell the coffee.

 

i am not angry, really, do i seem angry ? lol ok i just read my comments and ya i do seem like an angry whale who has got a huge farm loaded with bitmain and inno miners. but really I am not affected by this fork by any means. I just do not like the way the dev went about protecting their investment and they put on a show of how they are trying to protect us while they were only and mainly protecting their investments !.

anyway as for the hash rate .  i do not know , but i think siamining.com is the biggest pool for sia. and it shows 251 TH/s for sia and  24.7 PH/s for sia classic.
PH=1000 TH .

 






------------------------------

oh ok i get it, now. i am sorry i just did not know that you are so clueless to think that more hashrate = more coins generated = more supply = lower price.

i thought you knew this equation is wrong because my 6 year old son knows it. but since you really are this naive. i decide not to reply to your comments anymore, and i advice you seek immediate help from www.google.com  

so you know this topic is for hyperspace only why are you talking about something else ! !

https://blog.sia.tech/sia-proof-of-work-reset-24b5ec439625

the dev clearly say 
it's there ! they admitted it ! whatever i mentioned above was just another way of saying what exactly written by the SIA dev team. so when you try to make me sound wrong ,you are only denying their words ! . and you sound dumb when you defend the intention of someone who clearly admits it !

it is very stupid to believe that bitmain mine for them selves simply because
1- there is only so much power/space bitmain can afford to have/risk
2- there is a competition factor that forces asics manufacturers to RELEASE their asics before they become obsolete.

also what makes you think obelisk can't/won't do the same thing if it was technically and economically possible?.

I hate bitmain much more than any other thing on the planet, but let us be honest ! . every company is there to make profit ! . obelisk is no different. the only differnce between obelisk and bitmain is that bitmain know what they are doing while obelisk don't !. make a very expensive ASIC and try to sell it ! fail ! do not worry a hardfork will save you for now !

talk about control and centralization ! ok there you go it is worse than ever for sia , 99% of the total hash-rate is now under control of obelisk!  .

bitmain has well over 60% of the total BITCOIN hashrate for YEARS ! , they can simply perform a 51% attack and finish this crypto market for good !. but what for ?

 if Siacoin team really believed in fair-mining they would either have forked against ALL asics , or never came up with their stupid obelisk in the first place.

regardless of how you try to convince yourself that SIA team are trying to protect crypto, they are simply only protecting their INVESTMENTS. i know it is hard to see the truth for someone who has a big faith in SIA or for someone sitting on a huge bag bought at ATH but one day you will wake up and smell the coffee.

how do ASIC miners kill SIA price? you must be so naive to say such a thing, the price of anything on this planet is driven by supply and demand. so here came the hardfork , what's up now? will the supply decrease? of course not, other people with Obelisk miners will mine the coin and of course MANY will exchange that to BTC or FIAT to pay their power bill and ROI on their investment ! . 99% of POW coins are mined using ASICs . not a big deal !

what you should ask yourself is this, why did SIA hardforked against  ASICs that they do not have a direct $$$$ from their sales? very simple !

The SC team joined the mining business, invested a lot of money and of course expected a huge return ! what happened then ? they get f**d by innosilicon and bitmain ! why? simply because those giant manufactures are a couple of million years ahead ! .

so what to do to protect your investments? simple, hardfork !

if SIA forked against every ASIC like XMR did , then ya it would makes sense when bring centralization /51% attack  and whatever other bullshit. but when a hardfork goes against X,Y companies but allowing Z to mine it, then you should know the answer yourself.

this hardfork only shows how immature this coin and the team are.

what do you think they are going to do if bitmain or inno drop another bomb on their Obelisk miners again ? hardfork and hardfork and hardfork.


take ETH , ZEN , ZEC and many other coins that had recently started being mined on ASICs , what did the dev teams do about it ? hardfork ? nop ! they are busy with improving their project. while the SIA team are so busy trying to make $$$ of their poorly made ASICs. see you can't do so many things at the same time, you either focus on the project or on manufacturing ASICs.

as for the SC price, it has been declining since the fork. while most other coins that are mined using ASICs are gaining some good value.

Throwing more hashing power at solo.ck .  it has been 3 months. someone needs to cast out devils

the easiest way i can think of would be using Awesome Miner, it is free if you are going to use a single asic. i have not tried whatever you trying to do "because it does not make sense to me" but i know that function exist.

also if you are doing this just to test which pool is better, then it's not the best way to do this , 12 hours will tell you nothing.

try going on e-cigarette , and slowly walk your path from there. i did it this way after a decade of smoking.
also keep your month busy with  sunflower seeds,gum or even lollipops if you have too.

i realized it is all in the head, all the bullshit about nicotine addiction is bullshit to me, it's just a habit.

Late entry, i am supposedly known as an IT GEEK to people who know me, and i think I am, i was suppose to be in btc before 2012. i wasted so much time questioning the future of bitcoin.

the best experiment would be walking non stop on the same direction, if you go back to where you started then it's round, if you "fill" somewhere at the end of the "flat" earth then you know it was flat, too sad you will not be able to tell us about your findings .

God almighty.

As far as i know paybis is a business model, it does not provide any kind of charity. therefore when you ask for 'Professional Arabic Translation Services' you should not expect to get it for free.

I also hope that you are aware of the level of complicity in Arabic , the average person can not help you with this kind of service, in fact most Arabs will fail in the  basic Arabic exams.

if you need a professional service then you got to offer something in return.

changing the DNS will probably solve most blocking issues whether it is mining or something else. i assume most people will do this on a router scale, meaning that whole LAN will be using that DNS, which is pretty risky if you are accessing any type of online wallet, be it on your mobile or a pc. using a public DNS is associated with great risks, tons of coins have been stolen from people who use a public DNS.

read here > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3458297.msg35990380#msg35990380

so what you should do is change the dns ONLY on the miner itself from the network tab.

some people argue that the controller is responsible for controlling power draw for the hashboards, therefore a failure of the PSU which is connected to the controller will put those hashbaords which are connected to the other PSU at a great risk of burning/dying.

i am not aware of whether that above is technically correct as i do not have the tools nor the knowledge to monitor how is power draw done on miners. but i hope someone who knows these stuff quite well can confirm.
