1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin surpasses $19,000 on Coinbase! on: December 07, 2017, 05:30:11 PM
This morning made me lol.  I put in sell orders in at 17k, 18k, and right above 19k (19,027) on coinbase.  It was pretty hard to get orders in since their site was crashing.  Knew it wouldn't sustain itself for more than a couple minutes.  Or, I could be the stupid one by missing a major piece of news that hasn't hit?

BTC purchases/sales are currently suspended on Coinbase at the moment... we'll see if they actually honor the orders and transfer the $$ to my bank account...

Alright i appoigise fellas, is there any chance i can get some one to break it down barney style for me? i am new to this and would really like to get my 4 2 pacs up and in motion. thanks guys

Where are you in the process that is outlined in the first post of this thread?  It would help tremendously to know what you've done so far, what equipment you're using, etc.
3  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Antminer S9 location on: October 23, 2017, 02:31:56 PM
Hi there. I`m new to this whole bitcoin and mining thing. I just searched for antminer s9 and I saw a lot of posts telling that it`s very noisy and you can`t run it in the house. What is your opinion about putting it in a colocation server room..like renting a space , rack for it? Thanks for any idea

I would continue looking through the forums for more information.  You're jumping in to something that I'm guessing is a lot more complicated than you realize at the moment.  Do you have a reliable source of power that would meet the electrical requirements of S9(s) without burning your house down?  How many are you looking to run?  Where/how are you planning on procuring them?  What ROI are you hoping for?  Etc... please don't answer... these are just some things you should be thinking of.  Noise is just one of many, many factors.

The answer is YES - you could host it outside of your home... but without knowing the terms of your potential arrangement it would be impossible to know whether-or-not it is a good idea!

I feel dumb, but I've been going round and round with my new 2pac for hours. Admitted noob. Received stick miner 2pac and powered USB hub with usb fan for cooling. I am on my MacBook pro and can't seem to get it to recognize the device. Having trouble with configuration as a result.

Tried running the code mentioned in the Q&A and it did not resolve. Getting varying messages when I run MacMiner. What am I overlooking here? My software is pointed at the correct mining pool address and when it connects it says No Devices Found. I have been digging through pages and pages on here trying to figure out what's wrong. Can anyone help with this specific issue?

The instructions in this thread cover different flavors of Unix and Windows. If you're looking for easy, you should run Bootcamp and install Windows in it, download the binaries on the first page, and go from there.

If you want it to run natively on your Mac, you need to build the version of cgminer from the source code linked on the first page. This requires some comfort with software development tools.

You could also install a linux variant (like Ubuntu) on Bootcamp and run that with the instructions. Most of the people in this thread run it on raspberry pi.

When I need to run cgminer on my Mac (when I travel, I'll take a few miners with me for the free electricity), I just boot up an Ubuntu VM using VMWare Fusion.  The Ubuntu instructions in this thread work perfectly to build cgminer from scratch.  No problems recognizing the 2-pacs (or other miners, for that matter).  Just make sure you have the VMWare USB and networking settings in order.

7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many people left their full-time employment to go into Bitcoin? on: September 25, 2017, 02:37:53 AM
I'm sure almost most bitcoin users who already know 2 or more years they will leave work and focus on bitcoin, this is because the rise in bitcoin prices is very significant in a year.
...um what does that mean in English?

Don't worry about it.  A lot of these posters are the same individuals, posting only to get traffic for the links in their signatures.  They start posts and then log in with a bunch of other accounts to reply to their own garbage.

I may have passed this but where are the log files located? When i was running the 2pac i did not see any hw errors on the screen but when i exit it out the summery said ~8k.

LOGGING

cgminer will log to stderr if it detects stderr is being redirected to a file.
To enable logging simply add 2>logfile.txt to your command line and logfile.txt
will contain the logged output at the log level you specify (normal, verbose,
debug etc.)

In other words if you would normally use:
./cgminer -o xxx -u yyy -p zzz
if you use
./cgminer -o xxx -u yyy -p zzz 2>logfile.txt
it will log to a file called logfile.txt and otherwise work the same.

There is also the -m option on linux which will spawn a command of your choice
and pipe the output directly to that command.

The WorkTime details 'debug' option adds details on the end of each line
displayed for Accepted or Rejected work done. An example would be:

 <-00000059.ed4834a3 M:X D:1.0 G:17:02:38:0.405 C:1.855 (2.995) W:3.440 (0.000) S:0.461 R:17:02:47

The first 2 hex codes are the previous block hash, the rest are reported in
seconds unless stated otherwise:
The previous hash is followed by the getwork mode used M:X where X is one of
P:Pool, T:Test Pool, L:LP or B:Benchmark,
then D:d.ddd is the difficulty required to get a share from the work,
then G:hh:mm:ss:n.nnn, which is when the getwork or LP was sent to the pool and
the n.nnn is how long it took to reply,
followed by 'O' on it's own if it is an original getwork, or 'C:n.nnn' if it was
a clone with n.nnn stating how long after the work was recieved that it was cloned,
(m.mmm) is how long from when the original work was received until work started,
W:n.nnn is how long the work took to process until it was ready to submit,
(m.mmm) is how long from ready to submit to actually doing the submit, this is
usually 0.000 unless there was a problem with submitting the work,
S:n.nnn is how long it took to submit the completed work and await the reply,
R:hh:mm:ss is the actual time the work submit reply was received

If you start cgminer with the --sharelog option, you can get detailed
information for each share found. The argument to the option may be "-" for
standard output (not advisable with the ncurses UI), any valid positive number
for that file descriptor, or a filename.

To log share data to a file named "share.log", you can use either:
./cgminer --sharelog 50 -o xxx -u yyy -p zzz 50>share.log
./cgminer --sharelog share.log -o xxx -u yyy -p zzz

For every share found, data will be logged in a CSV (Comma Separated Value)
format:
    timestamp,disposition,target,pool,dev,thr,sharehash,sharedata
For example (this is wrapped, but it's all on one line for real):
    1335313090,reject,
    ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff00000000,
    http://localhost:8337,ASC0,0,
    6f983c918f3299b58febf95ec4d0c7094ed634bc13754553ec34fc3800000000,
    00000001a0980aff4ce4a96d53f4b89a2d5f0e765c978640fe24372a000001c5

Actually, the WinUSB drivers are a lot easier and less annoying than in windows... so perhaps I'll just stick with cgminer on *nix.
Heh, that's a funny thing to say. WinUSB drivers on linux... think about what you just said (hint WINusb.) There is no such thing on linux, cgminer just talks directly to the linux kernel usb interface and doesn't need any driver at all.

Yeah, I don't know how it works.  I do know that in order to build cgminer, I needed to apt-get install winusb to resolve a dependency.  I guess I'd say "I'm glad I don't have to worry about WinUSB drivers"? Smiley

FYI -  I was going crazy trying to figure out why my sticks were going zombie almost immediately.  Based on this thread, I definitely thought that it had to be something regarding my USB hub / power supply.  I decided to fire up a Ubuntu VM and compiled cgminer as per the instructions on the first page of this thread.  NO ISSUES!!  I'll be running cgminer on Ubuntu until something is resolved.  Actually, the WinUSB drivers are a lot easier and less annoying than in windows... so perhaps I'll just stick with cgminer on *nix.

It is a much bigger celebration now than 5 years ago when I lucked out.  Nothing since, though I've sold off equipment.

Yeah I also see bitcoin working fine and it is really fine for me that bitcoin will still as it is. I agree that it will not change. I just want that bitcoin value will increase again. 😁

Yeah, no... that's not how this works.  Bitcoin will not increase in value the way you'd like unless something changes. 

The fees are already drastically higher than credit cards and transactions are extremely slow to process.  It will only get worse.  There is very little utility in a currency that cannot realistically be used.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Afraid of August One? on: July 07, 2017, 02:53:01 AM
The Bitcoin price is hovering from 2,580-2,600 right now and its not moving that area after a big drop from 3,000. Do you think before August 1 the price will significantly go down? What would happen more if something went wrong in August 1? Will you just watch while everyone is selling on panic? What if price went down significantly to 1,000?

For me i would buy more for my faith in Bitcoin is solid. What about you?

Agreed - I buy large amounts every time a crash occurs.  Good policy for all markets, including BTC  Grin. But a tax nightmare!!
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How could BTC be legitimate ? on: July 02, 2017, 03:32:34 AM
It is being used as a currency to exchange goods.  There is value, regardless of how much the person who created it profited or didn't profit on it.  Bitcoins don't appear out of thin air (there is work being performed to generate and exchange them).  As far as I'm concerned, that makes it legitimate.  Satoshi should cash a bit out, and it would make no difference.
16  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread on: July 01, 2017, 09:03:05 PM
Can anyone measure and post the (maximum) dimensions of the 2Pac for me (i.e. for the height, just measure at the heatsink)?  Doesn't need to be exact.  They have been harder to track down than I thought  Grin

Since I'm not using mine right now anyway:
length of the board, not including the USB connector: 3.117 inches, 3.783 [wrong] with the USB
width 1.006, thickness 0.608 inches

multiply by 25.4 for millimeters

OK, I put the battery in the pesky digital caliper
length 3.170 in (80.61mm) with usb 3.763 in (95.57 mm)
width 1.002 in (25.55 mm) thickness 0.605 in (15.44 mm)

Thank you so much!  This helps tremendously

Can I use this hub with 4 of 2pac sticks?

https://www.amazon.com/Juiced-Systems-Ethernet-Charging-Included/dp/B00OL2B17O/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1497790154&sr=1-1&keywords=Juiced+Systems+6%2B1%2B1


I want know require spec for using multiple sticks.

Is it enough only 12V 5A ?

Do I need to check each port how many support ampare?

Check out the USB Hub support thread:
