PS:   This may be a newbie question but:   Are there large "hired gun" mining farms that can help small pools struggling with a big bad block?    Just was wondering.  Seems like a nice niche for a big farm.  You know - some pre-agreed arrangement for share calculation and/or a premium?   If you had a couple dozen peta-hashes and some good management software to make the redirects easy then you could be a white knight and make a few dollars more than you would ordinarily and minimize the effect of bad luck for resident miners:  Seems like a win-win for everyone.  But then again this may just be my newbie-ness talking.

Me and my single 741 are for hire  (-:

Does anyone know how to buy bitmain or bitfury chips directly? I am thinking about doing a group-buy of custom rigs. The Bitmain wait is absolutely insane.

What do people think about this idea?

I cannot imagine all that is involved with getting a pool setup in the first place, but it is amazing that you understand it enough re-verify every share.  I actually tried to "dig into" how sha256 works thinking that if the first part of the hash mechanism could be "cached" until it gets to the parts that are different for every calculation.  I suspect that the changing values are probably sent to be hashed first, then there is no caching opportunity anyway.  Anyway, I quickly got overloaded (did not have the multiple days needed to let it sink in).  And of course if I did figure it out, then I would have to spend weeks to learn how to "mod" my s9 which is not worth it to lose all the revenue.  Anyway, a huge bow to you Kano and we are honored to be "working" with / for you.

Is setting DHCP something that is done from terminal?  If so what command can i run - I'm not teh best Linux guy

Assuming Lady Luck accepts pre-orders, I did my bit for Karma 2 months ago when I donated 22x retired s7's to Sidehack to work his majik on and then sell through asicpuppy @ the damn good price of $499 (all sold out now of course). I don't resell as part of the proverbial ROI exit plan - I donate my retired miners for that Fuzzy Warm feeling A lot of Sidehacks 2PAC stick miners use harvested S5 chips from my farm.

Come on gal! Get more slaves interns to plow through your Good Deeds list!

How long does it take to get delivery in USA if order now for current date delivery?

I bought ten Ebit E9 Plus miner and six of them need warranty repair.

I've had some trouble getting the warranty repair process forward.

So I'm posting this here so that everyone knows the situation.

As soon as things go better and forward with the warranty repairs, I will post here again.

I hope they step up with this and do the warranty repairs.

Because bad handling with warranty repairs means bad PR, which means less sales orders.

Thanks for your follow-up!

PSU can take up to 1600W, so shouldn't be an issue.

What would you recommend for cooling?

The script won't even run with su at startup, but does also work if you run it from the cli after boot.

Hi there,

So a friend told me his friend (I know this makes a lot of friends) was able to overclock an Avalon 741 to 10 Th/s.

Is that possible at all? Been looking around for a procedure to achieve this but couldn't find anything...

I don't have enough knowledge regarding this specific ASIC to tell if it's the truth or not, so I'd like to have your opinion on this.

Thanks!

I rebuilt the controller for my 2Pac's and now a strange issue I've never had before. This is really probably more an Ubuntu 14.04 question.

Does anyone know why a screen session would show active in "ps -aux",  but not be listed with "screen -ls" (sudo and su don't work either)? The miners are connected to the pool and running but I can't connect to the screen session.
If I run the same startup script after boot manually everything works as expected. I use the same boot process on all my miners and have never seen this issue before, but is has been a while since I rebuilt one.

Was about 18.639   that's a normal big but less than the 21's and 23's that occurred over the weekend.  Quite a few of the most recent blocks are not showing who mined them, so not antminer, btcc, slush, nor kano.
