Hey there, I currently have 4 S3 miners. I am going to purchase an S5 soon. What do most of you guys do with your old miners? Do you guys sell your old miners or just use them in your mining software?
This is why people should turn to cloud mining, so that they do not have to deal with old hardware sales to recover initial investments. Except for the fact that 99% of sites purporting to be 'cloud mining' are actually ponzi scams. Just like the one in GG's sig. There are a few paying ones for now, but i'm not going to say anything because some person is going to -rep me for posting good things about a ponzi.. AGAIN. Cloud mining is very insecure and most people would just rather have physical hardware hashing shares that they can fully control rather than some service promising hashrate that may not ever have been generated. Simply go to a website and sell your miner, and when the next gen ones come out you'll be a few dollars closer to a new miner. Yea, I don't trust cloud mining. |

People buy everything on ebay. Even worthless stuff.
So but it there and hope for the best.
One of the best examples is the block erupters. They at this point should be very very cheap. They were mass made and a lot of us owened more then we ever would want at this point (I sold mine off long ago when the blade was new). But people still buy block erupters for collecting (which some do all colors) and learning. They bring far more then what is logical. I have sold MANY generations on ebay and it's worked out well. Only one I have gotten returned was a R1 router as they said it was not a reliable router.... which who buys a R1 to act as a router for other devices to connect to.... but that is another story. I'm actually thinking of selling it on ebay. Hopefully I can make $50 off of each one. They have made .1 bitcoin in the past month, going to sell one and buy a S5 to increase profit. |

Sell them on Craigslist or undervolt and use them.
What do you mean "undervolt and use them?" |

if you have free electric power, you can use then with s5, if not you can easily sell them. many newbies are trying to buy cheap antminers to learn basics of mining and how are they working. good luck in selling  This is great for me, I do have free electric power. I'm going to have to buy a better switch, currently using 2 routers as switches. |

I believe my HUB isn't performing to what it says. I got the superbpag USB 3.0 Superspeed HUB, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W4X3DAA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00, and when I plug a moonlander in, it wont read on bfgminer. My computer will give the error "usb device not recognized the item has malfunctioned", I thought I received a destroyed miner, but when I connected my other two, it gave me the same error. I connected the miners directly into the computer and they all work. Yet I'm having an issue of the speeds slowly decreasing and bfgminer 5.4 declaring it "SICK. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Should I increase the intensity? Also to get multiple miners working at one time, should I run two instances of bfgminer each with its own config or can I put in the config to use two login information? This is the hub I recommend. http://www.amazon.com/Superbpag-Portable-Charger-Transfer-Samsung/dp/B013OK10YM/ref=pd_sim_sbs_147_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41LaxmqTREL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0FW4KH14FP92J3MHA2XFIt has an internal really well constructed Powersupply, and is the only hub I found that can handle all 7 ports running full speed. The on you linked probably has an external crappy brick PSU which is probably not good enough. For the "Sick" issue it probably means you have the difficulty set too high...so it takes forever for the stick to submit a share, so bfgminer "thinks" its sick. Remember these are low powered devices and most pools think you are connecting high speed ASICs to them and have stock high difficulties. Make sure you are using vardiff with low initial diff, or forcing a diff of under 100. 16 diff per stick is a good starting point. This will give a share every second or so. Yes, I was looking into this one before I bought the other HUB, I thought it would push out enough power so I could save a few bucks...guess not.lol I'm going to return this one and get the one you suggested. |

Got a USB 2.0 hub and it still gives me the same error. The computer will recognize the miner until I start bfgminer and once it happens, the miner will disconnect and attempt to reconnect and my computer will give the same error. |
