That make sense, if you ever get some watt waste numbers at different temperature, that could be cool too. I'll stay subbed to the thread.

Cheers, you're new but you seem to know your shit. Welcome (again?) to the forum and thanks for the lesson.

Thanks for humoring me. In depth technicalities is a bit beyond me but i like amassing the general/conceptual knowledge. 100F seem pretty close to body temperature i believe? Thats like 37C? That seem cool to me.

So you mean its a power waste issue? But it would be how much? 2-3watts waste?

 

Did you miss J4bberwock's stuff or they're the breakout boards you're saying are bad?

I find these boards completely dope;

I think one of his versions has volt reading on them or something.

What? o.o;
What is the miner. What is what is it? An S1, S2, S5, etc?

But since you say you're getting the hashrate on the poolside, its most likely you're using the wrong ip. Connect to your router to figure it out.

I offered 300$ and you said no. You're not an authorized retailer so how can you transfer the warranty to a 3rd party? The only company i know transfer warranties is EVGA and its for 10 years PSU, you get 3 years instead.

I see. Sorry, you can't mine Bitcoin with that. You really need dedicated and competitive Sha256d ASIC to make anything. If you have free electricity you could look into getting some obsolete Antminer S1's. For 10$ that would be nice and give you a small bit of Hashrate.

I get Kilo17's error when i didnt use zadig and installed the right drivers and also for unknown reason. When it is "unknown reason" it is typically once at boot time which is fixed by hot replugging the stick.

To point your SHA256d ASIC, i would strongly recommend https://www.kano.is/.

Aside the fact the pool has had amazing luck for a long time, the theoretical return at 100% luck is also the best(vs other big pools) with Kano due to pool code efficiency.

You're way off on a tangent here. I'm going to give you concise and clear facts to help you stay on tract. Then if you want to shove your head into the sand and just ignore me, i dont mind;

You;
-75$ for 455GH/s at stock = 0.16$/GH/s at 0.7x efficiency.

Forum, here, not ebay, not kijiji, not craig. Right here, right now in this forum, even i would sell my S5's at 0.17$/GH/s which would be a better deal than your S3;
-150$ for 1155GH/s at stock = 0.13$/GH/s at 0.5x efficiency.

Bitmain;
-720$ before coupons for 4730GH/s at stock = 0.15$/GH/s at 0.28~ efficiency.

So i'm not making a debate here, just giving you facts, you're asking for more for your S3 per GH than better/more efficient hardware.

You can do whatever you want, but replying with insults and "you dont know what you're talking about", isint going to change said facts. If you want me to unsubscribe from your threads just say so.

Definitively Bitmain as mentioned. For the pools i strongly recommend "Kano.is".

How much does the electricity costs where you live? I expected it to be rather expensive in most of South Africa.

DHCP mode tells your router to automatically assign an IP to the miner. IF you're on static, it will always give it that address and typically not resolve an IP conflict issue by itself.

Also what is the miner? Are the LEDs on as normal? Is the miner beeping? Are you getting hashrate on the poolside?

Regardless you need to go on your router and check what ip the device is connecting with.

Nothing. The miner output is processed and submitted to the pool youre mining to. Your shares are calculated by the pool which will share the earnings with you. But if you're not mining on specialized hardware strictly for Bitcoin mining, you will not earn one cent.

You just let Cgminer run forever. Until its not longer profitable for you to do so i suppose.

Someone offered to sell me two, actually. They are used, but still, i just meant to say that people here will go for best performance for the price, which is why you have people posting in all your threads arguing your prices are bad. The problem is mostly because your stuff is from unknown provenance, second handed, and you're asking for retail price or even higher. Your flashy red trust doesnt help either.

You dont need to listen to them, nor to me though.

I just offered you a price and you said no. I went ahead and bought from retail instead, since it was cheaper.

Also, i don't think warranty is transferable? If so, as far as anyone here is concerned, your GPU's youre trying to sell are "used, like new" condition.

I was stating facts, which seem to be hard to grasp for you, considering i neutrally replied to your comment and you're throwing insults like this is kid school all over. For your convenience, i took a screenshot of an S5 at 0.06$/kWh.



I trust i don't need to circle the relevant values in red? Profit per month is indeed under 5$.

It is also fact that you're asking 0.16$/GHs versus the S5's 0.1~0.12$/GHs. So you're asking easily for 50% more for it than a S5, which is more efficient and more compact.

Well you're on the Bitcoin forum, not Ebay

There are better GPU here at better prices. Even on Ebay. Can probably get a 7990 for the price you're asking.

Well its a strong card, but its not a workshop card. I dont think it really fill that niche here. Unless you're talking about gaming, in which case its excellent.

It would be 182$shipped for me in Canada, because of Newegg premier, but those are 280, not 280x. The 280 are about 25% slower than the 280x, so a rather significant difference.

The problem is, winter is ending, so the heating is no longer needed. And with 0.06$/kWh it would profit 5$ per month... And with the insane diff increase, that will probably fall to negative soon.

If you have it just idling, maybe i could run it here soon for a while, but considering you can get a S5 for just a bit over 125$, 75$ for a S3 is quite a bit too much right now.

Closed a few deals since then, i'd be interested to hear some more offers.

Since when? Always? Are you on the same subnet as the miner? If this is a new occurrence connect to your router and check which IP the miner is connected to. If its on DHCP maybe it received a new address.
