If not how do sites like primedice still exist?
Dose the us gov see BTC as money?

There is a script, CoinWheel you can look at. It costs a hefty 1 BTC but it might be worth it.
have looked at it and looking for something like it but unique and cheeper.

Cheaper, not going to find any. If anything, try and rip it, or hire your own coder.
there was an auction on a wheel script/website with ~70000 visits a month going for 2 or 3 BTC

hi,
im interested in buying a bitcoin gambling site.

requirements:
-simple to setup.
-easy to manage for a person who has no experience with coding (graphical interface preferred).
- no vps needed needs to be able to run. should be able to run on a simple hosting plan such as a hostgator Hatchling Plan.
-sites wallet should be an online wallet such as blockchain or coinbase.
-some support: help setting site up, address problems etc.

features:
-spin the wile concept
-Affiliate program
-life chat
-auto spin

I have seen some already finished sites going relatively cheap
What would the price be for something like this??

25?  Try 250.  You need to think way bigger than you are.  25 is hobby mining.

in the pictures those where not 250 miners max 120 s1 and 25 s2, how can u run and setup those miners and be profitable??
10  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: how can mining still be profitable even for the big farms on: October 12, 2014, 12:46:22 AM
but how do those that are not manufacturers make money?
 a farm like this:

How about a panoramic?

PIC OMITTED


That investment would never have been able to be able to pay back for the hardware and make a profit that is worth it.
How do they do it?? buy hardware then mine for some time and sell them on ebay overpriced?? thats how i did it when i was mining. however this is inefficient as u always would need to change cooling power management to fit new hardware stuff like that which would cause long down time if needet to be done correctly with cable management



Farms just like this are being shutdown as we speak because they no longer make money.

In fact, the guy who's farm that's shown in the pic... Here's what it looks like today.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=813649.0







he stated that he made some profit

Yeah, Price + Difficulty = S1 and Jupiter retirement.

All said and done about 50TH offline now. Dunno what I'm going to do with them.



Sucks, but yeah... Keeping all that running would be expensive. You could try to sell to some location with (extremely) cheap electricity for some petty cash.

Out of curiosity, did you make any profit with your setup?

Definitely

When he bought those machines he must have gotten a large amount off the retail price to be able to make a profit thats worth it? do u need connections to get that or do u just email the producer (in this case bitmaintech ) and ask for a discount for large number of miners 25+?

They don't pay "retail" prices for mining equipment. They can get a significant discount on the hardware because it cost much less to produce miners then they are sold to retail customers. The mining manufacturers simply let the retail customers pay for the R&D via higher prices and preorders and let the corporate mining farms buy the miners at a discount as there are less logistical costs involved in selling to them (less salesmen, less shipping to various places, ect)

so the person who owns this farm would have gotten larger discount for the units? It still needs to be significant to cover all the hosting, maintenance and power to make a profit that is worth the investment and risk. so do u just email the manufacturer and ask for a discount for only 25 units ??

Hi,
Was wondering how mining still can be profitable even with free power??
For example
the SP20 (1.7Th/s) goes for 1200$ and ships mid this month and will not earn the money back spent on the miner.
the antminer s4 (2 Th/s) goes for 1250$ and will not earn the money back spent on the miner.
how would this make a profit at all for larger mining companies and individuals?
Do they do special deals with the producers of the miners?
How do they still make money with overpriced hardware?
thanks

You need to search the forum. There is already a 30+ page thread dedicated entirely to S1 set up and fine tuning!
I already did, but no one has stated anything about the rate at witch the GH/s is seen on pools :/
You should be seeing ~ 180 GH/s (+/- 5%) on any given pool.  When you login to your miner, what is it showing as your current GH/s rate?


Everything is working now how it should. It is showing now the 180GH on the pool, so it just takes time for the pool to catch up with the speed.
Thanks, for the help everyone!!!

16  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Antminer not showing right gh/s [HELP] on: March 22, 2014, 01:20:20 AM
it has now been mining for over 6 hours and only has 90 GH. Is this normal that it takes so long for a pool to pick up the speec of the miner?? I have been doing script mining a lot and there it max tok 30 min :/
Hope someone has an answer to my questions.
Thanks

Hi,
Im new here. However, not new to mining!! I have been mining PPc a lot and have been active on the PPc forum for some time.
I would like a new challenge, and have decided to setup a new ppc pool. I have looked at some pool backends like Eloipool, but need some tips for front end stuff. Would wordpress work for the front end?? what would i need to get that working??
Thanks
