Hi guys,
are you able to download windows miner from google drive?

Because I only see:
We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms of Service.


Interesting. I did download it last week when it was posted, but I just tried the link now and received the same 'TOS' message you did.  Huh

I am 11 cents a kWh. What is your rate?

Right now it's at $0.0826CDN per kWh, but that will likely be going up soon.  Sad

Even at 107% litecoin mining operations are still losing money. The difficulty is still way to high. I don't see how these guys can keep going and losing money.

I suppose Hydro costs have a lot to do with it.  For example, at this difficulty I hit the break-even point at around $64CDN.

104%...woo-hoo!!  Shocked

You misunderstood me or I should have said that these Z9 mini miners are in addition to the existing GPU mining rigs (2.5kW). Do not forget that a house has lots of appliances and some of them also take up to 1.8 KW in peak. Temperatures this Summer are high and I had to add a portable AC (in addition to central air). I could not add a S9 without adding 220V installation.

Yeah, 230VAC is the key if you want to do something more than just a few units.  I have a 100A main with a 60A feed to a subpanel.  On that subpanel I have all of my mining and networking equipment as well as the lighting and HVAC for the room housing it all.  Right now I'm running 6xL3+, 4xL3++, and 8xA4+ along with a Z9 Mini and about 5ksol worth of GPU's spread over two PCs.  All of that equipment is running at 230VAC with no issues.  However, before I finished the room, I was constantly doing a fine balancing act with everything on 120VAC!

Some dude on Twitter opened up his Z3 and posted photos of dust found inside

https://twitter.com/KevinMuldoon/status/1002642807889244162

Hard to tell how long it might of been used for since in different areas there are different amounts of dust/dirt.



I worked for a company a long time ago that produced equipment for Vestax and dbx.  When we were wrapping up testing of a new build it wasn't uncommon to incorporate parts of test rigs if it meant making a shipping schedule.  However, we would always use 'Dust Off' or an alcohol dip before incorporating the parts before shipping.

Hi all,

Need help, last days my output seems very strange, the "+" that indicates one submitted share almost gone
please see my output, only two submitted shares from about 30 lines
Some suggestions?

Yeah, I noticed that as well.  I mine at flypool and the shares there track with what I've been used to, but the output shows only single '+' very sporadically.  Not too worried since the shares seem to track on flypool.

Well I ordered one, paid on time with LTC and it says order expired now.

Lets see how this plays out..

Same thing happened to me as well.  Sent a query using their 'support contact' feature, but haven't heard anything yet.  I'm assuming it's just because they manually move the funds from each payment address and just haven't gotten around to mine yet.

***Update***

Okay, just checked again and all is well now.

yes confirm scam, the website is down yesterday with no sign of recovery, place the order and paid by bitcoin, learned an expensive lesson.

I feel for you dude.  I went through that same thing with agobooks.ro last week.  Early this morning the website was taking down so I'm out the cost of two L3+ units.  Like you, expensive lesson learned.  Best thing for us to do is make sure to spread the word and our experiences so that no one else gets hooked.  The louder we are, the harder it will be for these unscrupulous bastards to prey on people!

Cheers!

******** IMPORTANT PLEASE READ ********

For any of you still wondering if agobooks.ro is a scam, wonder no more.  Their website was taken down early this morning, but before it was someone left a message suggesting that the person behind agobooks.ro is a prolific scammer.  I took a screen capture of the site just before it went down for good: https://imgur.com/QNHJTyd  Apparently the alleged offender's name is Bogdan Dragomir, but no way to know for sure if that's his real name or an alias.

Anyway, whoever the person was that put an end to agobooks.ro and took down their website, kudos to you good sir or madam.  I only wish you had been able to do it one week sooner so that I wouldn't have fallen prey for, what now looks like, such an obvious scam.  This $5 565.96USD lesson is one that I shan't soon forget!!

Cheers!

Well colour me a gullible rube.

I checked out their website on Monday, but couldn't find much on them. After some online chat and a couple of emails I felt pretty comfortable to place an order for a couple of L3+ units.  The "bitcoin only" thing tripped me up a bit at first, but I convinced myself that it was fine since even Bitmain themselves only accepts bitcoin cash.  Anyway, after the transaction was completed they sent an email saying I'd receive an invoice within the next 24-48 hours and that the units would be shipped in 7-15 days and that I would be receiving a tracking number as soon as that happened.  Problem is, it's now been four days since the order was placed and I haven't had any communication with them since.  I've tried initiating the online chat, but no one ever responds.  I've also tried emailing at a couple of different addresses, but again, no reply.

Kind of a tough one to take, but lesson learned nonetheless.  Right now I'm still in a bit of denial by telling myself that communications have ceased due to the Christmas break and that all will be sorted out merrily next week.  But I think we all know that's just foolish optimism.  Cry
