Any of the Antminers are a ripoff and you will not make your investment back unless you hold your coins and hope Bitcoin someday rises.
402  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Bitcoin farm in PC case? Anyone done it yet? on: April 02, 2014, 02:52:55 PM
Okay, I'm getting the impression that no one has made a USB mining farm inside of a PC case so it's hidden from unknowing eyes with optimal air flow.. and since we're off topic today, what's the deal with video cards? Why does everyone use these ATI 5830 or 5870 video cards? These things are hundreds of dollars and don't perform nearly as fast as one of the Bitmain U2 AntMiners, Any reason there are so many builds like this and none that I've been able to find like what I'm thinking of?

Those were the cards people used a few years ago.  R9 cards are what people use now and they are more profitable than USB miners because they mine scrypt coins which produce a steady consistent stream of income unlike bitcoin mining.

while all fun and cool you'll barely make a fraction of your investment back.

usb miners are a complete rip at this point in the game

also those cheap 7 port ebay adapters likely aren't powerful enough

I don't know but doesn't that thing make less than 25cents a day?
405  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Speed Controller Fan Humming Noise on: March 31, 2014, 11:51:00 PM
I have this speed controller and it's hooked up to a box fan that blows air out of one window while fresh air is being sucked in through the other.  The thing is if I use the speed controller instead of the 3 presets on the fan it makes a loud humming sound. 

How do you hookup/wireup a capacitor or something that will get rid of the sound?  I heard of people doing this.

^Are you doing scrypt-n?  I imagine the profits wouldn't be as good if most of the coins are doing anything like the ones on coinwarz.

all you have to do is click statistics and the last column on the very bottom it will tell you estimated 24 hour daily btc.  if you use auto exchange.  My estimated kept going up over a 3 day period before it finally averaged out.

I've switched to X11 as it's just a major relief for me in my setup significantly reducing the extreme heat and noise.  But I am and always a supporter of DigiByte.  I take half of my profits made from other coins just to keep buying more DigiBytes. Cheesy

We LOVE DIGIBYTE   Grin

That said though even if you guys don't change, I'll have a Titan this fall and would be happy to dedicate the mining to DigiByte in help of securing the network. Smiley
408  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Attention Coinmakers (X11, Scrypt) on: March 31, 2014, 09:06:38 PM
My farm of GPUs has been converted to an X11 only setup.  Clocks, voltages, and even number of cards per breaker have been changed to maximize X11 mining potential, that said I can no longer mine regular scrypt coins because of such.

My point of this post is to encourage coin developers to start making more X11 coins and hey even change your current algos if you wish.  I am sure there are many out there like myself and many more to come.

That said I am still a supporter of scrypt coins, just not until Titan comes out.  And my GPUs will only ever see X11.

It's been a little while now so I know all of you regulars are aware, but for the other people who aren't yet aware X11 is a new mining algorithm that uses about 50% less power draw.  Which equates to significantly lower temperatures, much lower fan speeds, less noise, less heat, longer card life, and more cards per breaker and or less power bill.

FanFuckingTastic.

Here is the thread for more info.  Much love and respect for all those involved in creating this aglo.

All those in favor of whatever, speak your words to keep this thread alive so more and more developers get the chance to see it.

Cheers

409  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: LIGHTNINGASIC SCRYPT ASIC miner ready. BTC+LTC ASIC miner; LA1THS, stock ready. on: March 31, 2014, 08:58:23 PM
With the current drop in BTC price are these miners even profitable right now?
I think there would have to be a big price drop to help reduce the ROI. There
was one supplier that was selling for $175 US currently but think it would have
to come down much more and hash power will have to increase. Still holding
off on amy purchase until new higher power miners come out.

Agreed.  I would consider buying at $85 each or 3k per 40.  Maybe $2500 per 40 and they've got themselves a deal.

You guys have made good product and good cash is worth your efforts, unfortunately the markets just suck right now and the long ROI period just isn't worth it from a buying stand point.

At this point, nobody should be buying these little 300KH/s gridseeds, anymore...they will never see a ROI. The window of time before the large-scale ASIC mining hardware rolls out is not long enough and the market price of coins is too low. Basically, if you weren't in a month or two ago, you shouldn't get into anything but a pre-order on the larger hardware. The same thing is poised to happen here that happened in Bitcoin. History is going to repeat.


Also if someone could actually stop the release of new Alt coins on a almost daily basis the value of the current ones
would actually start to rise. I do not know who originally had the code or how people come up with the coin and the
algo to do this but with the almost weekly releases I do not expect the market to go anywhere but down due to the
flood of new coins. Please someone stop the madness as the new mining rigs will not be viable and the ROI will be a
very long time line!

New alt coins will always be coming out, there is no stopping it.  Even if they are banned from the forum, there are already other forums dedicated to alts that are on the rise.

That being said, I am a supporter of new coins as fresh coins with the lowest difficulty offer the most profit potential.

Agreed, my money is going to knc for titan

Though for a low enough price with say an ROI of a month or so I would buy in just to increase daily/weekly/monthly revenue stream until Titans come out.

Interesting pool, can you someone posy scrypt-N profits MHs per day (last one please), it will really help miners to make a decision  Huh

what he says.
Anyone?

I also want to know

Yes they need to update members every day but no response is creating more problems for them and more frustration for coins holders

Agree. What they doing is quite an unprofessional approach.
I was upset with these rumors and lost my 75% of all total holds at this exchange

Ouch man
415  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: @TheCryptoRush -What the hell is going on on: March 31, 2014, 04:22:02 PM
Thank god for Dogecoin.  I took the loss and managed to get everything out in time.  And now they are down. Shocked  Had previously tried LTC, but I guess they shut that down too as it wasn't working.

Dogecoin is a good investment anyway, I just would have preferred to do more trading in the meantime with those coins before buying in and at the lower price of course.  But it's all good.

I would have loved to do more of the batcoins but 1 sat orders weren't getting filled and 2 sat is a big gamble atm.

Please look at this transaction and fix.  I sent coins yesterday and they are still 0 confirms

Status: 0/unconfirmed
Date: 3/30/2014 20:10
To: mintpal HMmEP9kdYXikNWCxMKiPbGhEgkFtMmSVUp
Debit: -1200.00 HIC
Transaction fee: -0.01 HIC
Net amount: -1200.01 HIC
Transaction ID: dbc65e9bc3aab600c1b7b9727def21986bc4172751d0dc4c504b515c8f726146

I've since raised my transaction fee, regardless these coins are stuck and need to be fixed.

I'm guessing that you have closed and reopen the client a few times?

If all else fails you can import the private key for the sending address into a new wallet.dat file. It should import without the transaction and allow you to send the funds again. PM me and I can step you through the process.

Thanks for the tip and fixing.  All 6 confirms came through.  Yes I opened and closed it a few times, I didn't know that would have a negative effect.

I think it's safe to say this guy isn't really processing withdrawals and these accounts that say otherwise are fake.  I still haven't received my digibytes back

What the hell is going on why do I have a 0 confirm transfer from 2 hours ago.  And I pay fees

Dogecoin is a huge loss on their exchange
