7901  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: How to mine over Network Cable with S1? on: July 22, 2015, 06:40:43 AM
How do I get a S1 to mine on the network cord? I can only get it to mine on the WiFi?  I changed the Network settings to my router like it said in the guides but will only mine when the Wifi is turned on? I would rather have it mine hard wired to the router. ty!

Can you tell us a little about your network on IP and settings? And then post the LAN settings via a pic on here.

That will help a lot.


The settings r,  

IPv4 netmask  255.255.255.0

IPv4 gateway  192.168.1.1

IPv4 broadcast  192.168.1.255

Use custom DNS servers  192.168.1.1

 It is set to  STATIC addy




Change DNS to 8.8.8.8 (googls DNS).   Is your router giving out 192.168.1.X numbers?

If so try ip of pool and see if that makes any difference.  Also instead of typing next time try screen shot as mentioned Smiley
Change DNS in the router or the Miner?   Yes the Router is showing them numbers. 192.168.1.1

As I asked before can you please take a screenshot of your network page?  A screenshot not words Smiley

they are selling somethign that i can buy on the supermarket, not really worth it, they should focus more on electronic thing and gaming, those are the two that people look more when buying online

I would rather them have a niche of something and be able to get things very cheap.  With them going for being an amazon type site.... just a lot of way to go.

This is the second time this week I've heard of it so i guess the site is spreading.

I could be having a moment of not remembering something.  But what language did your write the script in?
AutoHotkey http://www.autohotkey.com/

Thanks for adding another method to make it run.

I suggest going for batch file for most.  With it you dont need any other software on windows and can change arguments with CGMiner.

But definitely thanks for addition!

It's worth getting a checking account to use for buying bitcoin.  You will find it's cheaper to do.

Also most will release BTC sooner with checking account then credit, and credit normally have more restrictions.

I`d get a checking account for coinbase, but do you ever get nervous since they ask your routing #`s and everything right.

Or either sensitive info like that can someone dig in your funds and withdraw without your consent usually if a business needs ot settle things.

Yes actually I do that is why I opened a checking account just for paypal and bitcoin.  I don't let them have access to my main checking accounts.

Depending on bank you can do 25-50 dollars minimum and open a checking account.  With that use it for coinbase or different exchange.  But only transfer money into the account when needed.  You can sleep pretty safe with this method.
7905  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Methods of growing your Bitcoin? on: July 22, 2015, 04:08:33 AM
Hi! Cheesy

I recently created a thread asking for the best methods of gaining free Bitcoin.

Most popular results:
  • Signature Campaign (High Paying)
  • Faucets (Low Paying)
  • Trading (Variable)

Now, I'm asking a different question.
What are your best methods of growing Bitcoin.

Only refer to safe investments!

Thanks

Signature campaigns can work well for everyone.  And bring good content to the forums, and you make a little BTC during it.

Faucets just are not worth it.  Typing in capatchas does not teach you a whole lot if any about btc.

Trading can be really good or really bad.  Start slow on trading do not jump into it with a lot.


I also enjoy mining if you have cheap electricity it can be a fun way to earn some BTC.  But not everyone has the right conditions to mine.
7906  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many friends did you recommend bitcoin to? Did they accept it? on: July 22, 2015, 04:05:47 AM
I really stuck with family.  And have had a pretty good reception.  I think a lot depends on the technical level of the person you are trying to teach.

For me one family member loved it and now enjoys BTC as much as I do.   But it was a technical person.   Also they got in cheap and have a profit, if they see profit they like it even more.
7907  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is wealth boring? on: July 22, 2015, 04:03:16 AM
I heard there's a guy in Moscow who charges a lot to teach billionaires how to pan handle for a day on the street.  im serious.

That would actually be a very interesting idea.  I would love to see them talk about community before they do it, and then after.

I would think the action would make one more willing to donate and help good services. 
7908  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Setting up a bitcoin business on: July 22, 2015, 04:01:13 AM
Hi everybody. I'm currently working on getting a bitcoin broker business live in the UK. We are in the process of finalising the registration process at Companies House. I think the big hurdle is going to be finding a business bank account. I know UK banks in general are resistant and that other companies have had success with some of the banks in Eastern Europe (Coinbase, Coinfloor, Bitstamp etc) but I wondered if anyone had any new knowledge on avenues that might bear fruit? Keen to hear anything anyone might have to offer, thanks! Grin

Part of it is finding a exchange that works with your bank.   You might ask in your community what others are doing.

Also I would suspect it depends on how much you do in BTC.  A very large business might be harder to do then one who takes small amount of btc.
7909  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: LKETC 5T 1000W is it real? on: July 22, 2015, 03:57:55 AM
Clearly if such miner (i.e. 1000W, 5TH) did exist, and was for sale, then the closer to $2000 it was the more compelling it would be.

Is that enough speculation in the Hardware sub-forum?  Smiley

Look at prices of SP35's we have seen some miners will spend a pretty penny on a miner.   I hope it is closer to 2000 or less.

But if they come out with this they really can charge a good amount.  Part depends on what computation is doing.
7910  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] Sfards: SF100-the first 28nm Dual-Mode Miner gets into mass production on: July 22, 2015, 03:56:02 AM

yeah this is it and with  the coupon it was 2 for 2279 including shipping.

plus they take paypal.

these are supposed to be 110mh  with 6 blades.

http://zoomhash.com/collections/asics/products/110mhs-scrypt-asic-plug-and-play-1000w-a2mega-door-to-door-within-3-5-business-days


last year I got in over my head with scrypt.  I had a house full of blades  and LTC tanked.

But zoomhash sold working gear and shipped me more then 7k in gear from April to Aug of 2014.

I gave the coupon out and someone purchased 2 getting 800 off.

so he gets 220mh for 2279 and the gear should show in under a week.

while the sfards here is 55mh for 1280 plus shipping and wait 6 weeks if lucky.


So if you have low cost power the zoomhash deal is better.  your 220mh will be working in 6 days or so. 

Sfards is pretty much a bust if you can't get them until late august.
Zoomhash charges and addition flat rate of 200 for shipping so the units are really closer to $1500

I'm really hoping we can order direct from manufacture and not mess with zoomhash.  If zoomhash is in the middle just means a higher priced model.

The good news is SFards is pretty decent sized company I think at this point.  So hopefully we see ordering direct.
7911  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S2 upgrade kit? EDIT: BITMAIN WHERE ARE YOU?!?! on: July 22, 2015, 03:54:14 AM

It was possibly a design, but I don't think it made it farther then that.  I'm guessing it never made it to prototype phase.


No, it was prototyped over four months ago. If I'm thinking right, 8 of these boards clocked at 200MHz would get you over 3TH off 1KW from the wall.


These are the S2 upgrade kit hashing PCB displayed in Burin, Germany and Amsterdam, Netherlands last week.





I did not realize it was 3T on 1 KW.   That is more impressive then I thought it was.   I could have seen them wanting to sell out of S4+ before releasing them if those specs are close.

But with S4+ sold out.  I'm not sure what they are really waiting for.   I think the silence still means a good chance they will not end up doing this.
7912  Other / Archival / Re: July 11th to July 25th diff thread. Picks are now closed. on: July 22, 2015, 03:51:31 AM
127 blocks instead of 144   -17 for the day  very nice.

still keeps us alive for a negative number!

we have 541 blocks to  go  a 127  a day pace would be great!


That would be amazing if we get a negative number out of all of this.   Even a small positive is not to bad.

I just wish BTC price would jump up a little.
7913  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: jet.com is accepting btc on: July 22, 2015, 03:49:41 AM
I speculate jet.com will be the best shopping site in the Milky Way and they accept bitcoin.

I don't know it's awful hard to beat amazon.  They have amazing customer support.  And also I normally only buy if it is a deal on a lot of items.

Can you show us some good examples of what jet have that make it so good?
7914  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New to bitcoin and eager to learn on: July 22, 2015, 03:46:39 AM
I'am not that famillliar with mining but last time I asked and I got a lot of answers ... so I will tell you what I know .. Mining isn't really profitable anymore , at least not like it was before . you will most likely pay for electricity more then you will earn unless you are looking for long term investement of course . Let's say BTC  1 now costs 280$ , in five years maybe it would costs 10k $ . you see how it works and how make it profitable ?

So it depends on several factors for the profit too (lets take off long term thing) , for me it's like 0.05$ / kw and I don't think most of the countries have the same rate , I have so cheap Electricity .
for miners I don't know a lot , check the thread I gave you , people gave a lot of useful informations . Most of peopl are using ANTMINER S3 - S4  - S5 etc. .. If you want something used and not new (works fine) check the Hardware section and you will find some people selling it . however those miners are nothing near 0.1 BTC AFAIK .

Yeah I looked at the prices ( 4-500 USD) on some site. That's a lot but I just wanted to check if it was even worth looking into. I could make an investment like that if it would be likely to pay off in the long run.

Be careful with cloud mining there are ALOT of scams out there sadly.  Ask questions if you are going to invest in one.

There are only two I consider legit.   If they sound to good to be true chances are they are.
7915  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How To Make Money With Bitcoin? on: July 22, 2015, 03:44:47 AM
BTC is not a get rich quick scheme.  If you find a place that offers get rich quick with it it's a scam.

Best is try to get the most BTC you can and hold it.   Over time we hope it gains value.   So look years down the road, not weeks.

Op, I dont get it.. arent you contradicting yourself when you say no gamble?

But the method shown is gambling.. Huh

Original version was even worse.  Yes this is gambling throwing money at alts with no research. 

Original version he suggested taking a loan and investing.   So .... no not a good method at all.

I don't think we can take credit on this happening.  I think it is much more complex reasons.

And don't think BTC closed a big bank.   I just don't see it.
7919  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your first bitcoins came from.. (faucets aside) on: July 21, 2015, 11:47:33 PM
Good old GPU mining.  That is where I started and where I got my first one.  Mined Scrypt and traded to BTC.

Eventually scaled up and did ok mining with GPU's.
7920  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin as a national currency? on: July 21, 2015, 11:46:18 PM
Dont see it happening anytime soon.  A country giving up on their fiat can cause panic.   I mean look at Greece trying to stay with euro.

Your country's will lose a lot of stability in minds of investors changing national currency.  Also BTC still has some variance making it hard to be only currency. 

A store for example would be a nightmare to put new tags each time BTC went up or down.
