Here's my analysis.

TL,DR is that we're fine now, but in the future we may be sucking a whole lot of power.

Currently, Redfury USBs are 1 watt:1 gigahash. But thats only 2.5 giga.

Antminers are 2:1, 360 watts for 180 giga.

I've heard rumors of a new avalon machine that is 950 watts for 1 terahash that should be out in a few weeks

125  Bitcoin / Mining / Cloudhashing questionnaire on: February 21, 2014, 08:43:53 PM
What are you looking for in a Cloud Hashing website?

What size contracts would you like? Yearly, monthly, daily...

Would you like a generated wallet to store BTC, then set a payout threshold, or just input a wallet address, and get payouts constantly?

We're working on a new site. I'm staying vague on purpose, we're not going to advertise until we're ready.  Beta testing will appear early April, then we can launch and you can start mining immediately. No preorders, no waiting on Cointerra or Black Arrow or Monarchs, when we launch the site, you buy, you mine.

Respond with answers, PM me, share your ideas! What would your ideal cloud mining site be like?
126  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) on: February 14, 2014, 08:12:19 PM
And the point in trying this? Without some serious Terrahashes, it's not worth it to even try to solo mine.

Its better then the lottery! You may never get a block, but if you do...

129  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Brag: mined enough to pay my rent this month on: February 02, 2014, 03:23:26 AM
Why the last one ever? If you have that big a hashrate,your earnings won't be going anywhere.

As difficulty goes up, the revenue (bitcoin mined) will go down.
Eventually, the revenue will not be enough for OP to pay the rent Tongue

That was my point. With him having a large enough hashrate to pay his rent,the difficulty increment can't possibly affect his earnings in a substantial way.


I.... What?  Do you understand percentages?

If the difficulty rises 15%, your revenue drops 15%.  If you have 1 gigahash, it drops 15%, if you have 10 terahash it drops 15%.

Difficulty increments affect everyone equally substantially.

Unless of course, you mean that he makes (for example) 10 000 a month mining, and only needs to pay 1 000 rent.  Then an increase of 15% difficulty would only lower earnings to 8 500, still enough to pay the 1 000 rent.  But looking at it that way, that's more substantial losses the bigger the miners you have!  10 000$ revenue dropping to 8 500$ is a bigger monetary loss then 10$ dropping to 8.50$....

But percentages don't discriminate, they affect everyone equally.

Title says it all. Want to trade 6 Redfurys (15 gigahash) for 7 Antminer USBs (11.2 giga +overclock).

PM me.

I'm trying to get 7 of each usb miner to fill a 49 port hub with a variety. I have lots of Reds, but no Antminers!

EDIT:: 6 reds offered to compensate for overclocking

I have lots of Redfurys to sell, paypal accepted! PM me to pay in BTC, 0.11 BTC each

They run at 2.5 gigahashes

http://virtualmining.com/shopping/ use the coupon code bitcointalk to get 100$ units.

EDIT:: added hashrate

You do not truly understand the phenomenal nature of what the future will bring us.

If it so suits itself, Wall-e could be 3D printing off specific objects for certain CryptoCurrencies or OT contracts funded by millions of Bitcoin users, maybe even gathering materials to sell to other 3D printers that need specific materials for manufacturing components based on per-arranged contracts, a mobile micro DAC network. Specific control of what Wall-e does and does not do can be controlled by market forces, with direct access by everything to everything around the planet, giving individuals a Control Console for the planet with accurate Real-Time Data.

Love where you're going, but one thing left.

If we have the power of Gods (basically, creating anything we want at a whim) why do we need money?

Not a good time to pre-order. Massive hashing power coming online this quarter, mining companies can't build quick enough. Network hashrate will be terrifying by May.

But... where will the power come from if the companies can't build it?

137  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Ubuntu only recognizing 32 USB devices on: January 10, 2014, 07:30:25 AM
Not sure if this is classified as a hardware issue or a software issue, if I'm in the wrong spot please move the thread Smiley

I have a 49 port hub running RedFurys on an Ubuntu machine, and it's not recognizing all of them.  I tried playing with it for a few days, no luck, couldn't even decide what the pattern was, but then realized.  It's only detecting 32 devices!  It sees all the devices, but when I start BFGMiner (I've followed this, linux instructions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319419.0), it thinks for awhile, and I can see the lights changing on them, and it gets through most and then starts up.

Now that I've been watching it, it always gets 32 devices.

How can I make it start the rest?  It is a bit of an old laptop, would that be an issue?  As far as I know, USB 2.0 has a max of 128 devices, and USB 2.0 has been pretty standered for awhile.

I use sudo bfgminer -o [pool name] -u [username] -p [password] -S bitfury:/dev/sda1 to start the miner.

EDIT:: Ubuntu 12.04, by the way.  Also, another problem, if I let it sit and mine all day (or all night) then come back all the miners have become sick and stopped. The computer has kind of froze up too.  I think this may be because it's an old laptop, and isn't meant to run 24/7, but any ideas?
138  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: 20% Difficulty jump...RIP BFL Jalapeno on: January 02, 2014, 08:00:47 AM
Man, do you know anything about mining?

30 watts, plus say 100 watts for the laptop to run it, is like 30 cents a day in power.  With a 750$ BTC, you can get to AT LEAST 10 billion difficulty before you spend more on electricity then you make in BTC/day.

BTC at 1000$, and enough Jalapenos running to make the laptop negligable (say 5+) the difficulty can hit 25 billion.

This is assuming a 5 gigahash Jalapeno, if you have an 8 giga one you can get to at least 40 billion.

139  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Pin Map of 49 port USB hub ATX connection on: January 02, 2014, 06:17:26 AM
Nobody?  Anything?

Do all I need is the 5v line?  Or do I need other voltages for the hub...
140  Bitcoin / Mining / Pin Map of 49 port USB hub ATX connection on: December 30, 2013, 05:15:47 AM
I was contemplating putting this into Custom Hardware, but I figured more people would see it here.  If it belongs there, please move it.

I have a nice 5v 40 amp power supply for my 49 port hubs, and I just got it working.  Now, I need to power the hub.

It connects via the ATX connector, but the ATX connector has all sorts of signals going through it.  Does the hub need those?  Or does it just need the 5v lines.
