I seriously hope there's some jail time in the future for Josh at a minimum but there are some others who are clearly deserving also. I don't know if the FTC does jail time penalties though so maybe we have to wait for the IRS?

Problem is, it's easy to sell on ebay than anywhere else. I posted 3 S5's and sold them all the same day on ebay. I could put them out in the forums here and not get any real interest for weeks since nobody wants them anymore.
This. And you can get high prices on ebay that nobody on this forum would ever pay. I sold some miners recently and I was a little nervous when a person with only 16 ratings bid on it but they sold to people with more than 30 ratings. Are you allowed to put in the listing that you will not sell to anyone with less than 10 ratings (or whatever cutoff)? In the buyer requirements you can only select to block users who "Have a feedback score of -1 or lower" which basically means they already misbehaved in at least one transaction. Also it seems to me that if they gave positive feedback they should be essentially giving up any right to bitch about the sale later. |

Not sure what the rules are and maybe I'm too late but I'll take 10.7 if I can.

a few hours ago I was in crypsty chat and one of the mods ..Nordman....indicated that the problems they were have were stemming from xt fork. I don't know enough to know if that's true. I thought that really only affected miners and wasn't a real issue. Could someone enlighten please
That's laughable. Might as well blame BTC withdrawal problems on the existence of LTC. The one has nothing to do with the other. |

Hey Kano, any chance we can get the idle timeout on the webpage extended? I like to check back every so often throughout the day but it seems like if I go more than an hour or two I get logged out. I would love to see something more like 24 hours before it logs you out.
I simply use the system wide php setting to time web connections out. To extend it beyond (my setting) would mean I'd have to actually timeout early everyone and have the web server keep the sessions long for everyone up to the higher limit. Thus it works the same shorter time for everyone. If you use FireFox or Chrome there's an add-on/extension for both FireFox: ReloadEvery Chrome: Auto Refresh that will refresh say every 5 or 15 minutes (whatever you set)  I should have thought of a plug-in. I went with reloadplus. Seems to be doing what I need. Thanks for the suggestion. |

but it's running at .5% hw errors.
Did you typo that? I have never seen HW that high on any of my OC'd ants from any generation. Usually if I see .01 or .02 I consider it about the max for that particular machine. If I see higher than that I lower the freq. |

How come we aren't seeing listings on bitmain's website for used S5's? I would have expected they would be switching over their own farm to S7's and have a bunch of S5's to get rid of.

Exactly! Users could send in $1,000 worth of coins and before even one trade it will take you 10 months to get your money Out or off the Exchange... This limit should only be on your profits! And it is worded $25 a day so people will not realize until it is too late that $100 is the real limit. This is deceptive!
Let's not exaggerate. Anyone can get to Tier 1 and 2000/day simply by filling in a name and address. Any name and address, it's not like it's being actually verified by anyone and the upgrade is instantaneous. Annoying but hardly impossible to "comply" with is it? The real issue is that the coins with decent volume and market depth have insane delays to withdraw. In every way it appears that the hot wallets of those coins simply don't have enough in them as small transactions work better than large ones and the "queue" can skip over an earlier larger one and process a smaller WD as I noticed myself. That doesn't necessarily prove that Cryptsy doesn't have the coins, they could be in a cold wallet, but then the question has to be why aren't they topping up the hot wallets. I am not sure what the cryptsy verification tiers look like since I have never bothered verifying there since I had already decided not to use cryptsy at all after they were found to be acting less than honorably with the whole paycoin fiasco. Here is what my kraken verification looks like without ever having sent them any documentation. They did at one point however lock my account when they detected me using an IP from a state other than the one I live in. This is because my work uses a business class ISP so the way the ISP has it networked, it all goes to a NOC in another state so it appears to be a public IP address in that state. I explained it to Kraken and they looked at their records and saw that I also connected regularly from an IP in the state where I claimed to live and they unlocked me. My Kraken limits without any documentation are $5k crypto and $2k USD a day. And 5 times that amount USD and 10 times that amount crypto per month. Of course a major difference also is that if you do a withdrawal from Kraken it just goes through right away without weeks of excuses and support tickets with generic bullshit stories in them.  |

Diff will cross 82 bill in 10 days.
I am a bit skeptical of this (and frankly hopeful that you are wrong). I am hoping that last 10% increase doesn't mean a return to regular 10% (or larger) increases like we had in most of the first half of 2014. I feel like with the increase in BTC price the price of the S7 is too high. I mean it was probably too high before but now it's like clearly more than I would pay. I want one more of these and I want it soon so it has time to work before the halving but at this price I just won't do it. |

Terk hasn't logged in to this forum in almost 3 months. Maybe this thing has been running on autopilot this whole time and something happened to him.

Here is a pic of all of my miners shown (11) right now. I had 3 overheat when the internet went out and I have shipped them back to Bitmain. I am waiting for their return. Electric is about 25% of my total cost per month. That comes out to be about $3700 per month with a ....
Bitmain didnt fix the internet problem yet ?? Did smith already have done a upgrade of the firmware to fix this ?? Wasn't it determined that putting the fans on a manual speed would alleviate this issue? |

... The pool is configured to start you mining at 1042 difficulty.
The pool adjusts the per instance difficulty to maintain a share rate of approximately 18 shares per minute.
However, there is a lower limit set on the difficulty of 42.
Could you please a little bit explain this quote above. "42" Of course! This is the answer we have been looking for! |

it looks like
In fairness to all users, we have now shut down markets until ddos has been mitigated. So wait, withdrawal problems for what like weeks (being very, very generous since I had withdrawal problems going back a long, long time there)? Then wallets down. Then back up but withdrawal problems continue. Now everything is down? |

However that 91.4-91.6% luck absolutely does not describe a miner that has had a stable hashrate and been mining continuously for a year on this pool. my hashrate has varied a bit here Well, this is a bit self-contradictory... Umm no. In order to be worse it would have to vary more than mine which has varied a little but not a lot (sometimes miners stop hashing, sometimes the internet goes down). Ergo, a number worse than 94% indicates someone who was mining less consistently than me. Regardless OrganOfCorti already made the same point using the maths. |

Again, apologies for taking some offense. I get so many people who have been so misinformed about mining that look to blame the pool or me for their ignorance, directly or indirectly. Your post read a lot like, "my balance changed for no reason, the pool must be cheating me."
I agree that the stats and website need a full overhaul to make some things more clear and better looking overall. But they are correct as they are. The balance numbers come directly from the reward system and are just parsed and displayed.
My post actually said that I was puzzled, and then you explained (in more pertinent part of your post) how estimated change is handled. I stayed, but now actively considering leaving for the following reasons: That long term account which you referred to has luck of 91.4-91.5% right now, which should have almost never happened according to this: http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/2015/07/faq-bitcoin-mining-and-luck-statistic.htmlthere is only 1/1000 chance of luck being 91% in 1000 blocks solved by a particular pool. The account that you referred to, again, has 91.4-91.6% long term luck (more than a year). In the last 12 mo your pool solved 1644 blocks or close, if I am not mistaken, so probability is even smaller than 1/1000 (organofcorti has no numbers for >1000 blocks). basically, it can only happen less than one time (one year period) in 1000 years. I know that you have some ad hoc timing explanation, but ad hoc does not explain statistics. While NOT suggesting or implying (directly or indirectly) that something is intentional, it looks likely to me that some calculations are not done right at the back end. I don't know what it is-stale shares handling, manual payout cutoffs, higher than 100% luck calculation, etc, but in the end it is just not right, and by not right I mean that these numbers are very unlikely to happen. Well you are right about one thing, bad luck is at the root of the explanation. However that 91.4-91.6% luck absolutely does not describe a miner that has had a stable hashrate and been mining continuously for a year on this pool. You would have a number closer to 94-95% at least. I can't tell you what it would be exactly because my hashrate has varied a bit here and there but my long term numbers on two addresses are both over 94%. |

Yes I had seen that. I wonder if they are essentially the same with the exception of which freq is default. My batch 5 came with the latest firmware on it. |
|
|
|
do you need new firmware for the 625mhz?
No it's configurable since way back on the S3. Those are the options on the dropdown list in the web gui.  |

Batch 5. Not too shabby.  |
