None of what we are talking about is even approved by the board yet. So there isn't anything to look up. It is nothing more than a proposal, but I told you all of what I know and got from the PUDs.

It is a proposal to be voted on in March.  The place will be available in March.

EDIT:  Would you hate to sign your name on something, only to find out a few weeks later you will not get 3 cents per kWh?

Again, I'm NOT trying to be difficult.  I only want to KNOW what I'm getting into without something hanging over my head.


Told you this guy was a Blow hard! He just lost most of his Bitcoins playing poker. He is one of the WORST poker players I have seen. Plus he left his wife and young son home as he gambles away his wife 401k.
We don't care about someone's personal life since it has no importance to the post. 
I do applaud people who ask the difficult and relevant questions.

Small deployment they said was slated for December this year give or take a month or 6. 
Kudos for the presentation, alas far from complete with no prototype available just a render.

So LK Group broke up and seems BW is trying to mend the wounds?  ( They sounded a little discontented about the operations at LK - Could be a bad sign but hopefully not.)

Still adviseable like always to wait for more info.

Eeek!  Sounds like a broken record or am I in the Matrix.  Good news until they said they need money upfront (something FREE)
Oh and the whole hosting stuff. 

Do these broke companies all get together and read off the same script.
At least they want to keep selling vaporware and continue to sucker the people who are unaware.

Too bad when they first announced their product it was at the right time and at a good price.
205  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitfury: "16nm... sales to public start shortly" on: January 26, 2016, 04:27:49 AM
At least we finally have a date. March 2016. Only a month away or so.

I think its a bit optimistic and while we'll likely have an entire fleet of machines announced, I can't see anyone but Bitfury themselves having a unit ready. I mean the OEMs are only just getting test chips now so unless they use the reference design and work flat out...

Also that immersion fluid is crazy. To give you an example of just how dense those chips are: If you could make a hot plate surface out of them (all pushed together), it would be a nearly 7,000W burner compared to ~1,500W of normal.
HOT DOG! Grin  Sorry couldn't help it.
Yes, crazy but about time.  All those millions and no R&D on cooling, sheesh.

I'm sure he plans to stick to the Litecoin/Scrypt market.
207  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Hot to make an asic miner from scratch using 16nm Finfet chips from TSMC? on: January 24, 2016, 09:48:45 PM
You simply cannot make an ASIC miner without any knowledge in the subject..
Why? Most started that way I'm pretty sure.  This was all new to most hobbyists, which probably had little capital to begin with. 
But yes it's a vague statement and post.
208  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitfury: "16nm... sales to public start shortly" on: January 22, 2016, 11:43:53 PM
I really hope they call sidehack and work out some sort of deal.

NEW POD MINERS PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That would be sooo awesome.
If that does happen it wouldn't be much of a price war.  $ for $ I would bet on sidehack's miner.  Tired of inflated prices, yes even Gpu prices.

My risers are still sitting on the shelves.

They did mention pricing would be beat current offerings.   Tongue

Anyone dare to try the Keshe Magrav unit on a hub running sticks?  Interesting if it works small scale and these sticks ( if it works ) could in turn reduce power consumption for a larger miner.  Note:  I don't assume any responsibility or approve of this even working but thought I would share this.

 hey did any one see the new bitfury chip do 50 gh on 3.5 watts  

there is a youTube video on it.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zPpj1JYw38

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1331111.msg13583080#msg13583080

They have a high power link

11 watts does about 100gh

now a stick using

2.3 watts for 36 gh
3.5 watts for 50 gh
11 watts for 100 gh---------------- would need a big heat sink and a y cord

could be built

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZPum2zqGPE   high power video

better yet would be a 4 chip pod  :

10 watts for 144gh low setting
14 watts for 200 gh medium setting
44 watts for 400 gh high setting

With all (some) of the gates down maybe sidehack will be able to acquire these.  Now these chips would be worthy competition as a pod or small miner.  Of course he would need some funds upfront even if he's against that.

cut
It was me and it's not available at Amazon under that name anymore but the identical hub is named PAG now.  Do a search for pag usb hub on Amazon.  These are great and do run on the Pi using usb3.

Yes. I seen it mentioned some where (but couldn't remember by who) and gave it a shot.

Been working great, except for if you push it hard, it gets way to hot.

Been thinking of opening it up to see if I could cut some slots and maybe add a little 5V Pi case fan, to get some air flow inside the hub to help keep it cool.
It gets hot? What are you running them at? My 4 have been at 300 since the start.

It would be great if sidehack could get a hold of some of them, he could probably make some very nice miners out of them.
Yes.  Can you imagine these efficient chips in the hands of sidehack.  You probably could finally buy the latest tech without paying a fortune, well maybe.  Nice Phil.  Why can't  more companies post these videos it helps sell their product.
213  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Jan 11 to Feb 11 Sidehack Compac Stick pool new 30 day run. on: January 20, 2016, 04:56:07 AM
anyway going to switch the miners from the HTPC to the rPi B and the suberbpag with the artic breeze in a few days.
when you get it going please post a few photos.

will do. probably this weekend during our big new england blizzard we may or may not get.

I hear good things about that superbpag 70w hub.
Its very stable but Amazon carries it now under the name Pag

Haven't these exchanges learned anything?  CoinEx did the same thing by blaming someone else but this is worse by not mentioning it to anyone before now.
I understand not leaving coins in an exchange but for those who trade repeatedly it's hard to remove them each time. 
What can an exchange use as a guarantee that your funds are safe?
Gox, CoinEx and Cryptsy need to be fined on top of everything else.
215  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience Compac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread on: January 17, 2016, 05:58:06 PM
yea I have the A-300:

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Cool-style-USB-2-0-HUB-Charger-10-ports-with-CE-ROHS-FCC-certification/1938705_32513481030.html

looks according to the specs only 600mA per port...sucks.

I would still like to know if there is a way in general to test the max Amp per port on a US hub manually?
Thanks!

someone said (sorry don't have the proper reference handy) that Superbpag usb 3.0 works fine with Raspberry pi and Compacs.
it has seven ports with 2A per port, apparently, for a total of 70W/14A, but costs $36, similar to 10 port Anker.
http://www.amazon.com/Superbpag-Portable-Charger-Transfer-Samsung/dp/B013OK10YM

That's the hub (Superbpag) I used for the 24hr over-clock contest run in the compac solo club. Ran one stick with Y set-up at 435MHz got/getting 23.87GH (I haven't shut it down yet and in about 10min it'll be 36hrs run).

can usb connector even handle the Y setup on this hub (rhetorical question, of course)? doubling from 2A to 4A per slot?

yea I have the A-300:

It looks like a nice hub.  Only problem is a lot of us RPI users are using 2.0 , USB 3.0 Hub's don't seem to like RPI.   Hopefully they come out with a RPI that can handle most usb 3.0 hubs someday.

Until then I will be gettin 2.0 for the most part.  Just hard to beat RPI as a controller.

actually, someone (Jake36, probably) specifically mentioned that this particular usb 3.0 hub (Superbpag) handles raspberry pi well, if I am not mistaken.
It was me and it's not available at Amazon under that name anymore but the identical hub is named PAG now.  Do a search for pag usb hub on Amazon.  These are great and do run on the Pi using usb3.

Any pics to get a better idea of space for those interested?  Or would that impose on the other tenant/s? 
It is a great opportunity for someone just wished I lived on the other side of the mountains.

Yes, pool info is always available to check at home but miner control from home would be up to your I.T. dept to ask.  I try to reach my kids but alas it's just my hobby.  Its a great tool to learn some basic programming, electronics and how the blockchain can change currency exchange and ages old concepts.
Have fun with them... It's a very addictive hobby and very rewarding to see your first payments.
