Cheers guys, i have no problems with replacing the server type 4 wire fans...

I am based in the UK as well.

62  Bitcoin / Hardware / ADVICE - Powerful replacement 120mm fan for miner ???? on: September 21, 2016, 02:18:08 PM
Hi All

As some might know i run a few Dragon/LKETC miners and they contain 2 fans for cooling.

A variable speed top fan (120mm/38mm -4 wire) and a smaller lower fan (120mm/25mm -2 wire)

I recently replaced a lower fan for one of these and it is ABSOLUTE rubbish compared to the airflow of the older fan !!!

New 120mm 2400RPM Black System Computer PC Coolant Cooling Case Fan | eBay

The OLD fan is generic LKETC one, 12v and rated as 0.6a, therefore it is 7.2W...

Is there ANYTHING compatable to this ?

Or can i 'FRIG' a bigger 38mm fan to run at full speed at all times ?

Cheers

Hi All

Had an email from Bitbond with link that i need to confirm ID via a video link.

I did not use the link provided in the email (in case it was a scam) but looged into the site and went to the identity page after logging in and it is asking for it.

BUT when i 'start' the process, it takes me to the window below and does NOTHING ??

I am running Windows 7 upto date and based in UK

Anyone else had this or advise ?

Cheers



 Huh

It all went fine for me and the company they use for identification are very professional and well established in ID verification....

I still had the blue screen after updating Chrome (as they advised) plus with all firewalls/adblocks off...

It worked fine with Mozilla, but i ended up using the App and mobile.

Yes, Bitbond now requires video identification for investors as well. This is to be in line with standards counteracting money laundering in Germany. It's mentioned in their newsletter.

My video identification went fine but im sure support will help you if the blue screen persists.
That is quite weird.If someone asks me to give video id,I would rather keep myself away from it.

Used my phone, all sorted.

Cheers

Could you post an update? Was this legitimate or not? Did you end of speaking with anyone at bitbond?

And d you end up needing to verify your identity via video?

Thanks

Not got all the info at hand atm, but googled the hell out of the company they use to confirm details....

The ONLY way i could get to the link to confirm was via the Bitbond website, all seemed very professional and legit....Only have 1BTC (with expected return of 225) in there so not really worried..

Just read this article, what are your thoughts ?

I have made a good profit on BTCJam.

As for as, I know in BTCjam plenty of people who borrow money will not return so I suggest don't use this site for the lending purpose. Any site you lend money without any proper collaterals, then you will end up in a lose instead making a profit. So don't ever lend anyone without proper collateral.

If you can take some risks then you can consider investing in few well-trusted casino sites bankroll, surely you will make profits over the time but remember to diversify your investments to avoid significant losses.

Well i just stuck 1BTC in at end of March, spread it over about 30 investors and set up auto invest - current value -

ACCOUNT VALUE         -$ 1,130.85
INTEREST RECEIVED     -$ 208.34


It now invests only 0.00667 BTC across 100's of loans, so even defaults are taking into account.

Hello slush,

Could you please add a feature to enter a secondary email for monitoring reports? I have my miners hosted and this would be a must have feature so they can get down miner reports to fix them faster.

Your pool is very nice I moved from Kano a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks

I did not know they even had email monitoring !!

You're not wrong in backing up the whole folder, but depending on your needs you might not need some of the files. The [name]-data folder contains your wallet backups that multibit makes automatically, [name].info file contains the description and labels. You can read more here.

I think backing up and then encrypting the whole folder would be a good idea. Just decrypt it if you intend to use the wallet. I use Cryptomator + Veracrypt for this purpose. If you want to store it in a USB then it would be a good idea to also zip it with a password. Even if you are hacked there will be 2 or more layers for the hacker to get to your coins.

Cheers FURY, was always weary of storing the file on a cloud service etc, i do have it zipped passworded on a few USB's/SD and that zip is in a passworded folder.

I just save the WHOLE multibit folder located in the position of my first post as i do not now which private keys precisely to save (makes no difference anyway i suppose as they are ALL removed from my pc).

I still like the look of the KeepKey though for ease of use and it's only $99 (still overpriced !!!).
71  Other / MultiBit / Re: Multibit Classic - Quick question on back-up ?? on: August 28, 2016, 01:44:21 PM
Cheers starting to understand it a bit more now.

Seems a bit of pain to remove and add them back for every transaction (i do a lot).

You were correct about the 'my documents' folder, it contains a wallet.dat file !!!!!

Think i will just install Multibit HD and get a KeepKey, bit wary of using the chrome extension on it though.

Looks ike i can run both Multibit Classic and Multibit HD on the same pc.

I really appreciate your adivce.

Thanks

Err... Multibit doesn't use wallet.dat file format. If you can't open it using multibit then it must be a wallet file from another wallet. Bitcoin core/qt uses wallet.dat, not sure if there's any other wallet that uses it. If you can open it (or maybe you just typed wallet.dat out of habit) then that's fine.

You're welcome.

I think it was from a Litecoin wallet i once used, it was last updated in 2014 so nothing to do with Multibit.

Cheers

Thanks, i am in the correct place place and i did mean open wallet. It is located at -

C>Users>Acer Black>Appdata>Roaming>Multibit>Untitled.wallet

Even though my one wallet has a title/name ?

I have just been saving the 'whole' Multibit folder to a couple of USB sticks....

My concerns are -

1. If my PC packs in and i install Mutibit Classic on a new PC there is NO guide on how to recover your wallet coins ?

2. My private key or are there keys ? Are still on my laptop and could be hacked !!!!!! Can i just delete them ?

I am seriously considering getting a KeepKey hardware wallet and upgrade to MultibitHD, but i think i will start another thread on that.

Cheers

1. The .wallet files have all your private keys and bitcoins. So if you'll be fine as long as you have saved them somewhere safe.

2. You can safely delete those files once you have copied them somewhere else. Of course this means that you'll have to copy them back if you want to use them again (or open them from your backup directory). Also multibit keeps its automatic backup inside the folders so if you want to delete all traces of your wallet you'll have to delete them too.

BTW in case you didn't catch it I've edited my post above while you were typing (the one about the documents folder).

The 'add password' tab can not be selected as i have already added one years back.

If you can't pick 'add password', pick 'change password' instead. Both of them will bring up a window where you can see the wallet description and filename (and its location).

What wallet SHOULD i expect to see when i select 'Open Folder' ?

I don't know what 'Open Folder' you're referring to. If you mean 'Open Wallet' then you should see all your wallets (files with .wallet format).

Quote
I presumed all i had to do was select the 'multibit.wallet' ?

Any files with .wallet format, to be exact. multibit.wallet is just the default wallet multibit creates when you opened it for the first time, you can change it at anytime by renaming the file. untitled.wallet is the default name when you created a new wallet but didn't specify a name.

So if my laptop (all i use) broke and i wanted to recover my wallet, do i just select 'Open  Wallet' and select the correct one ?

Yes.

Quote
When i goto the whole folder i have backed up it has 4 of them but NONE of them correspond to the name of my wallet ??

They are -

Ghash.wallet   -I think iused that site years ago !!
multibit.wallet
P2p.wallet      -I used to use P2P mining nodes, but was a pain since i could not monitor my miners.....
Untitled.wallet - HuhHuh?? Not sure what this is Huh

I now use Slushpool as i can easily remotely monitor my miners BUT there is no sign of this in the folder ?

I don't know why a wallet is missing. All wallets should be there unless you moved them.
Try checking the "add password" tab to see the location of your wallet. I think you might be confusing the description as the wallet name (both can also be found in the "add password" tab).

77  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: S9 with chips appear as XXXXX on: August 27, 2016, 01:18:14 PM
Hi guys.
Well you not really the only one. I had some xx but after restart most of the time it goes well. How ever IF i used the stock firmware. After update i got even more weird stuff going on.
My psu is antminer 1600w so no problems there. I even use another fan on it to keep it real cool.
But i just been talking to support about my last weird thing... After like two days of using the s9 like to get slower and slower... Huh? wtf

Temp is not a problem right now. As when the temp was at around 90C the s9 pushed on really well.. Untill now

Also one hash board gets pretty much hw unlike the other two. I changed the port on controller and got more better results but now again.. back where i was before :S

classic example of a hot tired psu.  drop your clock freq  say 550 is stock drop to 500  see if the hash rate drops after 2 days.

But while i tested the psu on S7 and it worked well??? I have a different fan on the psu also so it is alot more cooler than before.

BUT they are still hitting 90 !!!!
78  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: HELP - Have a Antminer S7, not leds on controller board on: August 22, 2016, 07:40:23 AM
You probably needs a new control PCB set in this... Return to seller if it was via Ebay, or ask Seller to get you the replacement Control PCB set.  Im sure its cheaper for the seller to send you the replacement Control PCB set with BBB than to deal with Ebay Return.



Try swapping your network cable to check if it's working. Try to swap with another Controller board+io board. Reset and replace with latest firmware before you proceed.

Network cable is 100% ok, not swapping anything as i want to return it for refund !!!!

I do not have a compatible i/o board or controller BB board anyway !!

Cheers

So you are stating it would require a new I/O board (what the mining cards plug into) and the smaller BB board that ethernet plugs into it ?

How much would that be ? Do you have a price/direct link ??

Thanks
