I am new to this bitcoin community!!Please correct me if I am wrong!!
But,
I have heard that there is limit that 21 million bitcoins will be generated!
What happens when no more bitcoins will be generated??
No more bitcoins will be generated and mining with continue like always to collect mining fees. Though that won't happen in our lifetime, so not much point worrying about it. |

Hey guys, i just started mining over at slush and was just wondering how i set up my miners so they all have seperate worker names so i can monitor them individually?
cheers!
On the miner's config, where you input your pool/username/password to mine to, you input "yourusername.yourworkername" instead of "yourusername". Nothing to do on slush pool per se. However after they've been autoadded you can go to your worker tab and change configurations for them if you want. Wouldn't you have to create the workers on slush first? Or is it able to do it automatically? It is added automatically and does not use a password. The pool will create a miner for ".whatever" you put after "username." |

Thanks Philip, I value a lot the time you spent trying to help. I learned alot. It saddens me that one of my S5s lost one board, I will consider sending it to sidehack after holidays.
Id also like to thank everyone else who tried to help. Have a merry christmas and a happy new year.
Sorry, beside messing with cables in case something is loose, its hard to say if there is anything else to try to fix it. The next thing to see, if i missed it, would be to swap the controller to see if the problem follow the blade or the controller. Just to double check its really the blade thats gone bad. And i also did not see anyone reply for the EVGA G2 1300w. The answer is definitively. You'll lose 1%~ AC/DC conversion efficiency over optimum load however. I'd run two of them at 393hz on one. I have another S5 and its working perfectly since day one, running OCed at 400M. Needless to say... proof is quite clear that we are looking at a dead hashing board.  I asked the EVGA question since the first reasoning seemed to be a dead PSU (I have a couple of spare EVGA 1300w). I thought that if my Corsair died I maybe could've run both my S5s on one EVGA 1300w. Well, yes you could. Most of my S5 do 393 for 1.29TH/s. One of them do 1.32TH/s at 400, but the others don't get the right voltage it seem, so i leave them at 393. |

No...no....I would not do that.....a 220v line needs two 110v lines. It doesnt matter whether the little chinese fire box outputs 100000v, what matters is that your antminer is pulling about 1300w or more. So what really matters is what wire you have going from the plug to the breaker box, including all other appliances/things that are plugged into that circuit. So lets say you have a standard 14 wire, with a 15A breaker..you could put an antminer on it, but you are cutting it close to 80% load, which is pretty much the maximum always on load for a 15a circuit. Better be safe ! As for chinese made stuff....I wouldnt trust that stuff unless it has real certification, idk what they are, like CE or something like that. my2cents
Well an S7 on a 15a 120v breaker is going to max it. If you plug that thing in a 120v outlet and you run a S7 off it, its going to take about the same juice if the step up is 98-99% efficiency. Any less and its pointless and its only a super expensive way of running your PSU. The best bet is to put that money on a good 120v PSU. |

Hi,
I have been in Bitcoin for while now. But now I want to get more into it and contribute to the system. I want to setup a mining area. I live in a cold area year round, cheap electricity 0.058 Kw/h and cheap rent. I need some help on which miner to buy? how many? will I make some money? should I solo or go with a pool? and more
Your help is much appreciated. You can pm as well!
Thanks,
Of course mine in a pool. At that price, anything that will generate heat you need anyways is pure win:win. What miners to get depend on your budget, electrical capacity, etc. S5's are a good place to start looking. S7 soon, i think the price will be where it need to be at. (Antminer) Also where you plan on putting them matter because of noise. |

Is there any statistics or comparisons of trade volums between Bit-X and HashNest?
You'll have to check individual stats but they would be hard to compare because HashNest sell shares of specific miners at different rate. HashNest would probably also have many time more the volume, but i did not verify that myself. |

sound logically that next gen to be after halving. maybe even in 2017 if condition arise!
There's going to be 0.06 stuff before then, from gridseed i think and they're not the only ones working on "next-gen stuff". With Bitmain's motto being cheap and loud, i'm not sure they are going to beat that, but we'll see. |

I also have a friend who went out on a trip for 15 days and when he came back he had one board full of xxxxxxxxxx. He tells me he just rebooted and it went back up.
Well the first thing one should do is power cycle it. Then swap the connectors. Then swap PSU. Someone with a genuinely new broken S5 board happen regularly, so that could be the case. But i see people with not actually broken hardware more often. Also, what is your PSU? Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by power cycling it? Im running it on a Corsair CX750 You unplug the PSU for 10-20 seconds waiting for the power already in the circuit to dissipate, then you turn it back on. Its the first thing you do, equivalent to restarting your router when your network is acting up. (Though power cycling the router might be a more effective way to trouble shoot networking issues as well) |

I don't agree with restrict users from opening self moderated thread. Users many times try to post off topic replies and spam sales threads by asking silly questions and to stop them from posting, this option of self moderation is given which is not given on any other forum.
Scammers would continue scamming even without self moderated threads so that's no an issue as DT members leave trust ratings on such accounts.
Beside, scammers tend to either do quick impulse/pressure scam or obfuscation, lying in wait. Meaning they will either post in another's thread or send a PM trying to push the other person into sending BTC quick. Or hide that they want to scam people by creating a sale thread and locking it.If they self mod and delete comments against him, he is going to get red trust *really* quick since its easy to justify red trusting someone that delete your posts when you tell everyone else he is being scammy. Meanwhile if you don't say anything and the thread is locked and you just ignore PM's of people that want to use escrow, its much harder for others to justify giving you red trust. So a better thing to do in this area would be to prevent new users from locking their own thread. Negative side effect aside, that would accomplish what OP intended, i believe, much more than self-modded. True. The inability to lock threads can be a solution as even if the user keeps deleting replies, his thread would still be visible and people could post their reviews in the thread (no matter if they are deleted or not). It could be a warning to others to not deal with that OP as he/she is a scammer. I think so. If someone wish to post information about that op/alleged scammer and it get deleted, i don't think anyone will blame him for instead posting it on that user's trust profile instead. In big red. |

i QUOTE HIM (chentron vs chemtron)
This new scammer going with the "Then it is genuine!" thing is cracking me up, might as well blatantly yell "Hey, i'm a scammer." Anyways, nice catch, make sure you post this in the scammer accusation section. |

I have recently registered at bit-x and saw I could buy gh/s.
Can I use those gh/s to mine bitcoins, or is it just trading only?
You can't directly use the GHS. Think of them like any other currency holding, you can trade or sell it, the value goes up and down. However you get paid by its GH/s income minus the "hosting/maintnance"+whatever fee. Its a share of a miner, instead of share of a coin. |

Hi Notlist3d
I downloaded CGMiner 4.9.0 and made a notepad file the details i am looking for are like these below...
cgminer.exe -o us1.ghash.io:3333 -u DebitMe.U3 -p 123 (these are the details debitMe Used.)
Do i just replace DebitMe with Huntbit?
Cheers
If you have an account at ghash.io by the name of Huntbit, then yes. That will work. |

Got the official response back on efficiency: "Currently, S7 is fixed with frequency to make sure the hash rate is more stable. but the voltage can be adjusted. The power consumption is 0.25 J/GH + 10% as marked in website."
So it appears the 4.7 is constant. And that efficiency is the +10 marked in specs.
They say the voltage can be adjusted? That make it sound like the software control is back in. But what do they "actually" mean, since we know they blatantly mislead with whatever they say? That you can undervolt it at the PSU level? |

If you have the right amount of money to be invested in renewable energy.. You can get free energy..
Its not free if you had to invest money in order to get it. To get free electricity, you need to find a deal where you pay a flat access to your electricity(Included in rent that you need anyways) and then consuming more electricity does not cost more money. or find someone with very cheap electricity and rent your miners in his location, still undecided if this could be better than cloud legit cloud might also be a solution, i don't see any difference in a home mining with 0.05 electricity and cloud with the same rate, actually there will be less troubles with cloud And you know of a legit cloud doing it for that cheap? All i have seen is 0.08-0.11. |

I messed around with firmware for the S1, no problem there.
I updated my couples S5 to Fan control, no problem there.
I messed around with S4 firmware to re-enable firmware, however i ended up installing smit's firmware unto a certain version of old S4 firmware to keep volt control. Since it was not Bitmain's firmware this probably does not count, but considering it was easy to just reflash the SD card when i fucked it up, i'd say not too much problems with the S4 brick wise. Still the fact that it was needed to go through loops if you wanted to keep volt control is pretty dumb in the first place.
It kind of seem like from the S4 Onward they started purposely limiting features related to controlling the miner, however.

After much debate I went in with 3 S7. I want to own the Avalon 6 badly for whatever reason, but it's price point really doesn't make sense for me if I am going to host it somewhere and its main advantage is sound.
Indeed, now with the coupon, S7's are breaking under 1000$, meanwhile the Avalon 6 is still super expensive and it's been slower and less efficient than the S7 from the start. Make more sense to just mod your S7 for sounds instead, if you're ready to pay a premium for silent miners. |
