hi guys
is it possible to mine any other coins than bitcoin with the dragonmint?
if yes where? BCH e.x?
It says on the Halong site: "Bitcoin miner". BCash and other altcoins can not be mined, and support for altcoins was never promised. I just hope next batches will be sold with shipping on payment, enough with this pre-payed stuff and shipping dates in the future. Any other sha256d coin should be mineable, provided the pools can be bothered providing version rolling support. What shitcoin pools do, though, is really off topic for this section. |

I think they will be putting in 1 chip in their TV sets sooner or later.
This, I'm sure will NOT happen. How can you be so sure? Maybe they'll install it and give you, the owner, the right to chose if you wanna mine a little while watching GoT.  The new line of TVs will be Smart BTC Edition.. How can I be so sure? I do believe I'm qualified to make that judgement. Because one mining chip provides pitiful amounts of mining and a lot more consumes far too much power for a generic consumer device. Power consumption is a huge part of a consumer device. Many chips require ridiculous amounts of cooling and TVs and other consumer devices do not usually have any significant amount of cooling; a few heatsinks and maybe one small fan at most. The one chip pitiful amount is seriously not even worth a few satoshi of mining and there is no "generic way" to mine. All mining happens at pools and even at pools one chip won't provide enough to get a payout even once per year. Samsung isn't going to start running their own mining pools to allow people to earn dust amounts of mining that they can never actually redeem, nor will they waste effort and time developing their own chip for such a futile exercise. Samsung will happily press chips for other morons because that's what their chip foundry is designed to do. They don't care what crap designs they get given, they just have to press them at ever decreasing sizes for ever increasing costs to get their money. Forget it, the equation doesn't work. |

Stopping by to say hello - operate a reasonably large farm of 12p, pointed just over 1p to get a feel of how the process works.
Keep up the great work CK!
Great, good luck! |

Hello,
I found a block on Thursday (on solo.ckpool.org:3333) !
I would like to know how much time it takes to receive the block reward ?
Thanks!
No you haven't. I got A:1 in the miner, 0 rejected and 0 errors. How to check/track further ? What are you mining with? A BitMain miner says BLOCK= ? From the magnitude of share he got accepted it's either a CPU or a GPU, hence my response... |

No you haven't. I got A:1 in the miner, 0 rejected and 0 errors. How to check/track further ? Welcome to bitcoin mining. You found one 4000 diff share. If you find about 1 billion more of those, you might find one block on average. I suggest you do some more reading... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.0 |

Antpool use LIGHTNING NETWORK?
Not sure that makes sense. Lightening is for off-chain transactions... and besides, Lightening isn't really production yet. Light ening is when the baby's head engages during pregnancy usually around the 36th week of gestation. The lightning network on the other hand is in production, heavily in use already and has thousands of nodes. You are confusing minimal app support for it with its production ready status. As for this pool, it has absolutely nothing to do with the lightning network. |

I got a success as you can see, and it looked clean, but the miners rebooted and did not come back up. The miners are remote so I'm having them rebooted hoping they come back up (will report back). Hoping I don't need to factory reset them...
-ck - Any advice?
Anyone else had success with using the API?
Sorry no idea. I've had nothing to do with that API. |

Can somebody tell me with the latest firmware update what the power consumption is on all 3 modes?
Also, is there any reason to NOT run on performance mode if I'm paying a flat rate in a datacenter?
It depends on whether you're using 120 or 220/240V and what efficiency your PSU is. They're usually around 1200,1540,1640 here for 14, 16, 16.4TH at 240V with 94% titanium PSUs. I would not run them in performance mode unless 1. you had a lot of cooling (ambient at or below 20C), 2. your PSUs were rated above 1750W and 3. your electricity costs were extra low and efficiency did not matter; the Myrig PSUs are rated at 1680 which is cutting it too fine. |

Will -ck provide firmware to this gear?
No |

i was not able to the pool i wanted
is it only possible to mine on slush and ck? i dont like these pools at all there are more profitable o es but if i enter the details it keeps loading and not connecting is it hence only possible to mine on 2 pools
The public pools it currently works on are: ckpool solo ckpool slush bitminter f2pool |

I think it would likely look more like 1000 and earn $0.10 a year and use an extra $50 a year in electricity
or 800 and earn 0
so after 24 months you have a $1099.80 TV.
An appliance miner is never going to compete with high density mining farms, we already have CPU's but no one use's them to mine to "reduce" its capital cost's.
This is absolutely correct. The equation can't possibly work in an appliance's favour in any way. The only thing that remotely has a chance is a space heater that mines to generate its heat. To that end, that's what I use my T1s for now that it's getting colder here, but they need to be dedicated to doing so in a fashion that is meaningful in normal households, not somewhere with tons of power and that can tolerate noise. There just is NO market for that kind of hardware though; it's all aimed at super giant fucking massive farms, and selling 10s of thousands of miners at a time, not a handful to the regular public. There's no money in making hardware for everyone else, so it's just not going to happen. |

That same version is now in the official repo and is the one you'll download if you choose update from the interface.

Why is the API in Restricted mode?
You choose the settings for the API. Not sure what you're talking about but my guess is you're talking about some hardware specific implementation of cgminer; that's nothing to do with me. |

Well I'd say that's very good. I'm going to ship it. Thanks for the feedback. |

Ok here some results: Here you can see post update hashrate history. I deployed the firmware just before 08:00 https://m.imgur.com/a/vKNpv6ZAnd now after 10hours running the new firmware. https://m.imgur.com/a/A28N6StI don't notice the 2 hours hashrate drop anymore. The hashrate even seems to increase a bit. But it seems to run hotter, fans are running at 10% more than before for the same temps 73-75°C That is odd, but it does look significant. I guess you can't have extra hashrate without extra heat, but it does imply something funky going on internally if the hashrate changes depending on the diff the hardware is running at. Either way, keep running the faster firmware to confirm it remains reliable for days and I can push that firmware as official. Thanks for testing. |

No need to autotune after update right ? Right, just let it run with existing tuning. |

Here's the thing though, the Bitcoin will likely be surpassed by another crypto-coin and another and another etc as people with the knowledge start their own block of coins buried in the digital ether....
And that's bullshit that dreamers always keep going on about just because they want another coin to make them rich by capitalising on first mover advantage again. Guess what, the first mover advantage is over. Bitcoin isn't going away. |

I noticed something else.
~2 hours after a reboot. Hashrate drops ~10%.
This happens every time.
I am talking about both hashrate readings : on DT gui and on slush dashboard
Not sure how I can provide proof, logs or anything that can help
Are fans below 100% ? |
