Just my 2 cents but we all know they run/test those machines before they ship it. They had PSU failure and they closed their eyes ...
This is really sad ...

Doc, if you're looking for other improvements to make to the site it might be nice to have a date and time stamp on when blocks are found / solved. There is a "Time" column in the latest blocks section of the full sized live stats but I can never figure out when (the date) blocks were mined. I know there are other resources to keep track of this but that is one small and easy to fix area that could use a little tweak.
https://bitminter.com/blocksYou'll find the full date and time of each block found. Fahlcor, Thanks I totally forgot this this was on the site. You're welcome  |

WoW, the shipping is killing the deal ... i would prefer to buy used now from a close location for an older batch.
Is there any way to get a better deal then like 75$ Us per unit to be ship in Canada ? (0.46 BTC)
I checked a US distributor ... it's 75$ per unit, seems like horribly costly.
Is there any distributor in Canada ? I wish we had one in Montreal, i would go buy them directly ...

I don't know if you guys follow the general Macro metrics of Bitcoin but I like to see what's happening at a high level. Here is a chart I've been watching closely. The wat I see it, more transactions spread around the network means more adoption. I feel as though this could be a good leading indicator of where the BTC market is heading. Obviously we all look at the current price but with that aside, do you guys have any charts that you watch? https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions-excluding-popularHeavy Hash rate folks, I'd be particularly interested to see what you're watching. I follow quite a few, but as a small-time miner (~ 1 Tbps + or -), I am partial to: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficultyThis shows both Bitcoin and Litecoin difficulty metrics and predictions -- both of which I am mining (FYI: my one and only pool that I've mined BTC on for almost a year is BitMinter) And it just so happens, that as I write this, it predicts the next difficulty at just+0.91% above current; however, that has been falling all week. Will we see a difficulty DROP this time? It's still looking that way, but of course not guaranteed until it happens. I also follow the same. The estimation follow a trend where is over-estimate the difficulty for the most part until like 2 days remains. Then, most of the time, the estimation is really really close to reality. There is another important trend to know too, it's that most of the time, at the end of a difficulty a bunch of Hashrate is added into the network. So for now, we are close to 1-2% but more hashrate could be added until the end of the difficulty. BTC is going down tho, might not happen. EDIT: all indications for now tell us that we might see the first negative adjustment since a long time. (maybe forever ? can't tell) Once again, big hashrate push at the end of difficulty cycle ... It will be an increase I guess ! |

It would be great to catch a break. Even if only this once...  Since BTC is going down, some will just stop mining. Another 10% drop and it might be more then once  |

Anyone else got their miners jumping in and out of the Pool ?
I tend to as electricity prices are high here and I have them come on in the day (sunshine) so I can use the salar panels on the roof.... Been considering selling off the USB block erupters (333) and the cubes I got... as it is starting to become non-ecconomical... even with alt coins... Sorry for the confusion, all my miners points here on Bitminter, all the time. It's just that yesterday, they were jumping on my fail-over pool for no apparent reason. |

Much as I'm not a Pool Hopper ( I'm a bet-spreader, not a luck chaser ) I can now no longer make a profit mining BTC. I bought at £1 / GH, and mined at 1w / GH, but this price crash ( £380 is now only £230 ) has got me. I'm having to switch off. A 40% price drop is a killer. Even with kit only 2 months old. I mine at break even now. And all that running around for zero cash seems pointless when there are bills to pay and other sources of revenue I can chase. Very disappointing I have to say. Let's hope enough other miners survive. Thanks for the good service Doc! I know that my wording is not ideal, but averaging over a months is how this pool does best  If you're still break even at the moment, you should keep going. The price should rise up again. (just my 2 cents) |

While I havent mined in years, it breaks my heart to see this pool unable to keep up with the network  Doc, would it be feasible to work something out with the other old but now small pools to share blocks? Im thinking eligius, btcguild, slush,.. we were, until we hit two 99% block in a row, we went from 1600TH to 1000TH. |

I just buy 2 pcs of B9 today, and I hope they
send it as soon is possible.
In the mean time can I ask something please ... can I use only 1 PSU
in order to overclock (just to arive at 500 + 500 ghs) ?
If yes... witch one is a good for this please ?
Thanks a lot
Denis
best bang for bucks are always server PSU's with breakout boards. If you prefer a standard ATX, search google for PSU review. There is also a PSU review from Dogie, if I'm not mistaken. I use a Corsair RM 1000, solid rock PSU. Not cheap but silent. |

has anyone thought about making a cloud server here? i for one, do not have much available space for the hardware, but would like to increase hashing, would it be possible, or even thought of?
You can find lots of places where you can have you stuff hosted or you can buy hashing power from a cloud hashing outfit. Here's a link to a place that hosts mining equipment. http://bitcoinasichosting.com/Here is a link about Cloud Hosting http://www.coindesk.com/information/cloud-mining-bitcoin-guide/I know of couple folks that get friends to host their equipment either at their homes or in their places of business as well. I have 400GH running in my son's dorm room at college. He has recruited a friend to host another 400GH for me starting next week. I send him 30% of the BTC we earn each month to help pay his beer expense Great use of my old S1's. I can even overclock them EPIC !!! |

That koi guy removed almost all of his hashing power  He was always 1st now he is 2nd From over 200 TH to 15 Yep. Where are people moving to? Btcguild? Just 1002 Th power right now Fixed: 996 Dunno but it sucks |
