I wish it was a dns issue..but from reading other threads for asicminer tube https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735728.200 ..its looks more
like buggy software connecting to the pools and errors out and it won't hash.

With some testing these are some of the pools that worked for me which might be useful for other newbies like me.

btcguild
stratum-lb-usa48.btcguild.com or 50.31.189.48
Bitcoin Affiliate Network
mining.bitcoinaffiliatenetwork.com , east1.bitcoindigger.com , west1.bitcoindigger.com
ghash
according to this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=768500.0 by WBF1 and the asicminer tube owners
this other pool works
mmpool, slush pool

Pools that worked with bfgminer proxy with this setting
bfgminer.exe --stratum-port 3334 -o pool url:3334 -u userid  -p password --set-device PXY:diff=512
eligius,bitsolo,f2pool but unfortunately not too stable...bfgminer would error out from 1-3 hrs and the miner looks like its connected but it wont hash.

Pools/leasing service that I can't connect to
p2pool,westhash/nicehash,miningrigrental,betarigs

Anyway we can connect this to a rasp pi like btcgarden amv1x2? Looking for alternatives here...

Is there a list of pools that are currently working with the Rockminer T1?

I'm having issues with the block erupter not hashing on pools aside for ghash..not even stratum.btcguild.com works only with the 50.31.149.57 ip address. Is the T1 gonna be limited to the same pool selection as Asicminer Tube?

So for a newbie to look into buying a miner and start mining would not be a viable idea?


It's a good hobby.. you only invest what you can afford to loose in terms of money and it depends on your location( house/office/warehouse) where you gonna run the miners.

A good miner like the antminer s3 (0.58 btc or $278 direct from manufacturer/ $400-450 in ebay) that with any btc profit calculator makes you around $3.81 per day less $0.75-$1 electric bill/day@0.10 cents/kilowatt plus a decent 750 watt atx powersupply +$79.99 corsair cx 750. With the next jump in difficulty(every few weeks)...that $3.81 will be $3.34 or lower...until the next hike in difficulty.

So if you invested $278 antminer s3 direct buy+$80 powersupply= $358 or bought it from ebay $450+$80 powersupply=$530 .... it will take you 111 days or 164 days to get your money back untill you see any positive income. Yes thats $3 per day @ current $470-480 btc price.

Plus if you live in a 1-2 bedroom apt with only a  100 amp main breaker and you decide to plug 6 of those suckers with 2 1300 watt powersupply with a 15 amp outlet and burned the place up..it would be really bad.

My advice ...do your research, ask more questions and never do an impulse buy...people buy tons of asic stuff and don't even make 1/5 of their investment and it usually loses its value pretty fast. I still mine bec even with the risk I'm around 1/6 of my investment in 2 weeks and if btc goes past $700-800 range it would be even better.
