9882  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: Okay selling some L3+ with Apw3++ psu five to sell on: July 26, 2021, 06:18:17 PM
My single hashboard sales are doing well on ebay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/164980585543?

i sell for 288 and clear about 240 so 960 if I sell four boards.

I get about 140 in selling the shell and the fans and the controller.

so a unit pieced out on ebay is around 1100 net.

Of course returns and scammers abound on ebay.

So realistic guess is I clear 900-950 at worst and not 1100.

These units were purchased in part direct from bitmain new. In spring of 2018

or used on ebay and this site in dec 2018 to feb 2019.

They are mixed and I cant tell which one I am selling.

ebay
bitcointalk
bitmain.

I ran them from freq 350 to 400 depending on the mines temps.

Testing cleaning and selling three pieces is doable.

I rate them B or B+  not A- or A

Not sure what price should be. what do you think you would pay for 3 of them?

 3 x 700 = 2100 free shipping .

I clear 2000

vs parting out on ebay Slower but I clear 2700 to 3300.


There is something to be said about selling the three to you and parting the others.

I am ballparking the L3+ prices but

 2100 for the three cleaned and shipping is about as low as I should offer. I would take btc ,ltc ,doge ,eth coin escrow my self and offer you 48 hour testing.

If you are usa based I can build you a modded s9.

uses an apw3++ psu which will work on 120 volts.

Runs braiins firmware

you can set it to 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 th

higher the louder.

You can control the fan speed as low as 1800 as high as 5200

5th setting is pretty quiet. pulls about 400 watts

How loud is it compared to the Apollo BTC? Turbo or whichever mode. just curious how the noise compares. Quietness is very important to me. People are flipping these Apollo's for so much I was thinking of selling my standard units and ordering a modded one from you or modding one myself. Actually have an S9 just laying around cause I've been to lazy to play with it
if you use an atx psu and set to 5th it is as quiet as the apollo at turbo

the youtube link above shows how loud it is.
9884  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: 2021, time for a new general & diff speculation thread... on: July 26, 2021, 03:06:06 PM
So here we are at block  1282. and up 2.98%. still in my 2-4% guess for this jump.

Andddd we moved to 38k for coins. I wonder if this puts some pressure on the diff and we do close to 5% this jump.

Best case is 38-42k price slot for next 3 weeks

with a +4%  for August 1

followed by a 3-5% for august 15



this keeps us under a diff of 15.0 up to august 29th.  That is 60% of the high of 25.0

I actually think the above case of a 15.0 diff or under til August 29 and a price in the 38-42k slot is a viable guess for august 28th

would be a very nice  33 days if that happens.

I've never bought anything from alibaba before and im about to drop five figures on what will probably be s19s or s19j/s19jpros.

I know to use trade assurance, and look for a verified buyer, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips about the process.

Also, I was wondering if most people mine exclusively btc, or is there more splitting of resources.  Thanks.

9886  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Is it possible to run S19 Pro with a second or a dual PSU? on: July 26, 2021, 02:50:37 PM
I have been thinking about this. Braiins after market firmware allows you to pick voltage .  

An aftermarket firmware could bypass the custom psu and run the gear at a set voltage.

No auto  tuning

say 3 freq choices and 1 voltage choice. 13 volts for sake of argument.

this means you could run s17 or s19 with a 13 volt  psu but underclocked.

Now off the top of my head. the minimum voltage of the s19 psu is 12 volts.

and the minimum voltage of the s17 psu is 14 volts.



I will go back and check that

s19 psu is 12-15 volts

https://shop.bitmain.com/product/detail?pid=00020210302152412332Xrq3G3E60644

s17 is 14.5 to 21 volts
https://shop.bitmain.com/product/detail?pid=0002021022213584950310xD5QtJ0652


it would be possible to use any psu with say 13-14 volts for the s19  with a properly done aftermarket firmware.

and a 16 volt psu would run the s17

you have less frequency choice but it would work.



All this is the industry making good gear trash due to no psu availability.
another way to fuck the miners.

I have 4 units over 200th dead due to psu issues. so I have 1.45ph not 1.65ph mining.

oh the diff is in the 2-4% slot I was hoping for.

So slow but steady hashrate recovery.

This was a nice weekend.
9888  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Powering an S19 in the USA on: July 26, 2021, 01:59:18 AM
I just pulled the trigger on an S19. I was planning to plug it in instead of my dryer on the 220 outlet. I notice it has two power inputs. How are people powering these in the US?

I don't think too many people are using these in the US in their residences.  The ones that do I would assume have a custom power setup they've installed specifically for mining.  Let us know how it goes if you do choose to follow philipma1957's advice and purchase those 3 items to make your dryer plug work for your S19.

Thanks philipma1957 for the advice on parts.  Have you tried to do such a thing with your home's dryer connection?

No as I have gas dryer and stove.

I did put in three 30 amp  240 volt circuits.

As in the state of NJ a home owner is allowed to wire the hime they live in.

I used older L6-30 receptacle it is cheaper to run.

I have two 120 volt leads and a ground from the street transfomer.

So wiring three wire 240 inside the house is cheap and easy.

Altough My whole  house is 150 amp box. so using 72 amps to mine very rarely happens in the summer as the ac uses  a 50 amp circuit.

Having gas for cooking and drying clothes along with hotwater lightens the load on the main circuit.

My winter mining grows quite a bit I burn close to 60amps on the three circuits if it is cold.

9891  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: Okay selling some L3+ with Apw3++ psu five to sell on: July 25, 2021, 10:00:02 PM
Okay picked up the 'good' mini L3 these are 1/2 power of a L3+. they do about 225-260 mh.

Very Nice gear and quiet. they burn 400 watts a good space heater.

So I have 1 good one and on that is not so good. see screen shots above.

I sold more L3+ hashboards on Ebay

So I only have 4 full L3+ miners with ant miner apw+ psu left.

this ebay seller wants 1130 with an best  offer option and a psu free shipping

https://www.ebay.com/itm/174838991973?


this seller wants 1000 with a best offer option and no psu 55 to ship
https://www.ebay.com/itm/324726663664?

I would beat either one

over 800 under 999 for one with psu.......... make an offer for it
over 700 under 899 for one with no psu....... make an offer for it.

BTC
LTC
Doge
ETH pay up front ship to USA only.

The mini L3 that fully works is rare But I would sell it 444.44 to 555.55 with a psu make an offer.

the flakey L3 that has a mind of its own not sure what to do with it make an offer under 333.33

So far the ebay sales are working so this gear may not last.




I would escrow it and take a return in the first 48 hours you have it. If they do not ship well
9892  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining rig on: July 25, 2021, 07:01:03 PM
Hello everyone,

I am discovering the world of mining. I wanted to buy a GPU mining rig not too expensive and noisy to get into the game (For instance 2 or 4 GPU would be perfect).
I saw a lot of people build their own mining rig. As i am not extremely handy i wanted to buy a mining rig ready to use. I see in many websites that mining rigs are sold out. Have you got any suggestion for me about a secure website where i can buy a GPU mining rig ?

Thank you very much for your help !


what country are you in?

9893  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 25, 2021, 04:27:35 PM
I am not sure I can teach you the whole concept of thermodynamics in a reasonable amount of time in this thread.

That's fine. I believe my o-level and a-level teachers and the lecturers that contributed to my physics degree have you covered.

Then why ask?  And I am not particularly impressed with degrees bragged about on a internet forum to be honest. All I am getting from quite a few of you is that you just want to argue. I am done at this point. Zero sum game.

------

Good night.

... nobody is getting argumentative except you, when you got called on the bogus "earth is a closed system" claim ... probably the original sin of that quasi-religious pseudo-science know as "climate science"

Its all good...I dont want to be more of a dick than I already have. Fuck the maths of it all and just go outside and look around...really look. Things are changing...things have changed just in my lifetime. I have seen it with mine own eye. How many species have gone extinct the last 100 years...how many tons of toxic waste has been dumped into land fills and our oceans? How many extreme weather events happened over the last 20 years? How many glaciers have melted affecting water supply..how much have the polar caps melted affecting the jet streams? Putting a stick in a pot and stirring things around and expecting no noticeable effects is ludicrous in my opinion. My whole point was that I think we can do better. Plain and simple.

... and here you've engaged in another of the green marxism misinformation tactics, conflating many different pollution problems, some real, some ill-perceived anecodotes, into a mish-mash of "the earth is ending, zomg!" to justify some crazy idea that shutting down C02, CH4 emissions will 'cool' the warming 'earth' ... a) it's not proven it is even warming particularly that much recently or b) that it is due to increases in "greenhouses gases" and by how much and by which percentage of the gases that are anthropogenic.

... Earth has always had extreme weather events, statistically the last 20 years are not particularly unusual in the recorded history, which is exceedingly short, and the geologic record suggests there have been far greater extremes in weather

... the meteor that hit the Yucatan penisula and wiped out the dinosaurs sent a tidal wave 1500m high! into the south coast of the USA and sent up a plume of debris into the atmosphere that blocked out sunlight for 10 years ... want to explain how relatively dangerous humans are to the earth's closed system is again?

So the earth is supposedly 1.2C above per-industrial temperatures, no date is ever given for the end of the pre-industrial era.

Lets assume it was 1750.  

Dutch Inventor Fahrenheit had developed a fairly accurate mercury thermometer by this date.
While the two fixed points of calibration, freezing and boiling point were assumed to be accurate the points between these two were merely interpolated.
These early capillary tubes varied in diameter throughout their length and affected accuracy, a variation of a few degrees was certainly possible.

No standard method of recording air temperatures was in place for another 100 years into the industrial revolution, when Thomas Stevenson in 1864 developed his Stevenson's screen which standardized how temps were measured. In a slatted white box 4 to 6 feet above ground level.

Whilst with modern technology and satellite surveillance, earths average temperatures can be published with certain accuracy, those of pre industrial times cannot. There is insufficient and accurate enough data to do so and to publish as fact the figure of a 1.2C difference is disingenuous.




The problem is the earth was really warm with no ice caps and we can all argue that we are or are not going back to that point.

But we are not doing simple basic moves.

Solar
solar
solar
solar
solar
solar

mine coal and store it do not burn it.

That simple move is just in case the sun gets colder.

At the moment the sun is warm and giving use 'free' energy .

Burning coal is moron move.

What happens if the sun cools a lot and solar truly sucks. forcing more coal to be used.  oh that's right we were burning it when we had plenty of 'free' sun.

The above idea to put solar on every roof top means we burn less coal.
We mine the same and store it just in case we get cold and not much sun.

Unfortunately the idea above will never happen.

Due to the false fight over whether or not global warming is real and caused by people.

It does not matter either way yes to global warming or no to global warming  my plan above is sound.


Yet no one talks about on the left or the right.
So we are fucked and will get fucked more.
While the rich have mars and moon bases incase the earth has a really bad crash. In 50-100 years.

Thank God I purchased an extra one 2 weeks ago 😅 in will come today, the problem is one of the screws isn't the original dose it make since its the reason that this power supply dies?

you are not making sense who told you to update the firmware.

Yeah, it is almost a week since the adjustment at this point and from the flat numbers I start to believe that:
- we won't have a spike of 5-7%, nice breather especially with the price climbing
- relocation of gear will indeed take a lot more, that news about miners flying gears to new locations was just news hype
- it's also probably a lot of gear will never mine with its current owners and if relocated it's waiting to be picked up or it's in transit, I see 35-40 days for cargo between Guangzhou and Houston
- maybe we underestimated the number of old gear that was mining at really really cheap if not for free prices that still can't find a buyer

ps
Price touched $34.5 back to under $34 for now


My biggest fear was two more solid drops 💦 say 5-7 and 6-8 it would mean more than the China shut down was happening.

So far we do not see it. we could have a string of 1-3% jumps say 1-2 on august 1 and 2-3 on august 15
followed by 3-4 on aug 31. price floats from 32-38 would be a very nice winter for kano. and my other australian friends.

Error loading address data.
Error: Connection to server lost, please retry

And as long as I retry, it never works properly.




As for this:


Have you understood how we run it? I mean, the green color means that it's running, the yellow that it's waiting, but the grey? That it's offline? I'm scratching my head (and googling), but I haven't found how so far.
