I pointed a second stick to my club address, this one also only at 125 freq. I need to get a second hub so I can up-clock these a bit.

If you haven't noticed, BITMAIN adjusted its pricing for batch 3 S7's in relation to the time before block halving more than the difficulty. Batch 3 S7's are at $1,658 instead of $1,823. Each month that passes by before the block halving apparently is affecting the price of their rigs with the price of bitcoin virtually unchanged.
So, if Spondooliestech does not want to miss the boat for selling the SP50 with optimal returns, they might want to have them up for sell relatively soon.
It will be interesting to see how the block halving affects the pricing of rigs [If at all] as it approaches.
Read btcs news from sept 28. They had to lease their own (SPT) equipment. I am not sure about the rationale for it. eventually, they will probably have to either borrow money or do a preorder to start producing these units in bulk. I don't think they plan to produce them in "bulk". They are only selling to specific customers, I'm guessing they may build to order based on the demand from the customers they plan to sell to. Or at least it will be a limited build quantity based on their projected sales. I don't think they plan to have a large stock of these units sitting around for the reasons surrounding the upcoming halving.

no but think 7- 16 per stick
you don't want ck to auto start the diff at 1k diff it takes 20-50 minutes to adjust.
so 7 to 16 per stick will show shares faster
But at the end of the day "showing shares" is purely cosmetic; your stick is hashing the same regardless if your diff is set to 2 or 2000 (as long as the pool reports back it's hashing, that is). Solo mine your own node and the old share you will ever see would be one greater than network difficulty. Diff won't affect your chance at solving a block, but it does look more reassuring to see the low diff shares float by.

Received, thank you! I need to leave + trust for you both, good campaign so far.

I'm pretty damn far from having solved a block, this is a lottery i'm not likely to win, damn.
You neither farther nor closer than anyone else, you just have less ping pong balls in the lotto machine.

1 block every 10 mins is 6 blocks an hour* is 144 a day, <snip>
This may be a horribly stupid question but how do you get the 144 number that it should have been? It seems like it would change which each difficulty change. <snip> *6 blocks an hour x 24 hours a day is 144... The expected blocks solved per day is irrespective of difficulty, it's what you would expect if a block was solved every 10 minutes exactly. and cakir explained the other part already.

I paid $.65/watt including shipping (bought from a wholesaler on eBay), $2800 for 2 inverters, installation was $1.10/watt (1 inverter would have worked if I went with SolarEdge w/optimizers). I had to take a break from mining when my Edison bill hit $900 last November for running about 8 TH.
I'm guessing you did the ROI math for the solar factoring in other uses at your home, because otherwise I fail to see how spending thousands of dollars in solar equipment is a good "investment". Don't get me wrong, I think it's really cool, but the finances rarely make sense to me.

I always love your updates thank you for doing them. I have wondered how do you get the number we should be at? Is it a website your going to or are you doing some math by hand? 1 block every 10 mins is 6 blocks an hour is 144 a day, so start at midnight being 0 blocks for the day and depending what time of day it is you can easily figure out how many blocks "should have been" solved already. At least I'm guessing that's how he does it. I really enjoy this thread and the updates, too. Watching the diff is just part of the fun of bitcoin. /popcorn

Price had a nice weekend, picked up almost $10. Currently closing in on $240, if price can keep climbing and diff stays flat this will be a good adjustment period. But the tidal wave is coming, I can feel all those S7s getting unboxed out there...

I don't think limiting to one per person is the goal. After a month it should be based on GH by Compac's. So if someone OC's to 16 gh it is rightfully counted as more then one at 8gh. Also does not limit the amount of compacs one can.
That's the way I think it should be, too. Your contribution to the club hash via compac sticks is your share of the block reward should we ever happen to solve one. I had to steal one of my sticks back, so I'm down to 1 stick @ 125 freq again.

I wish I had a 1-2 PH mine in my back yard that I could just flick on from time to time, like rolling the dice. Would be more fun than renting a big chunk.

Just got back home it is just too hot
Next mod, cold water jackets for your exhaust mufflers. Cool down that muted air.

What happened to 1NYwWrwcYYWE45HPo66nKb7xagvvdpXXqW ? Why a new address? Sign a message to change your address, that's kind of one of the main points of this thread.

Well, no software changes are necessary with my version, I've put a large range of clock speeds in the web page. If any of those pages have hardware voltage change info, for S3s that ignore the voltage, that may be helpful. Right, I neglected to mention all those links were from before Kano wrote updated cgminer software for the S3 that makes overclocking much easier, but they still make good reading. And yes, if you're going to OC then you should have all 4 pci-e connectors plugged into a psu. I use an 800w gold rated atx psu, it's overkill for 1 S3 but gives me room to power other stuff as well.

then it required zlib.dll, so i'm not sure if its just W8 sucking and not having that dll by default. zlib 1.dll, I think? It should be included with cgminer and bfgminer - probably missing from the custom cgminer binaries package that novak prepared. Should be an easy fix on their end Have fun! Correct, nice catch; zlib1.dll 5,20 MB (5 457 642 bytes) Maybe bundle it with the windows binaries if that's "legal"? This would make it even more plug and play. Or at least add the zlib1.dll url bellow the windows binaries? Download cgminer from ck's official link and you can take the zlib1.dll from that package. It's only 83k on my system, I'm not sure why yours is almost 10x larger at 5200k.

If anyone is good at programming it seems like we could do a google document. Have something that scrapes the data off of those pages and lists it in google doc. Long term we could also look at it easily. Anyone i group a google doc guru? That's a really good idea, if I knew how to do it I would! Flash hash s-7 power!!! Sweet.
I like the sound of this . Have you heard how loud the S7 is? You wouldn't like the sound so much if it was in your house, lol. We have what, 3%~ Chance of getting a block in 30 days now?
Except the rental is only for a few hours, so you'd need to calc the % chance based on the rental time frame.

I added a second stick to my address for the weekend. Old laptop can handle 2 sticks @ 125 ea., but only if they're not in a hub. Old computers are weird. {"hashrate1m": "13.9G", "hashrate5m": "13.1G", "hashrate1hr": "7.86G", "hashrate1d": "7.1G", "lastupdate": 1443163313, "bestshare": 1113872.5243269121}

Phil, what was the dB reading before the muffler? I didn't see it listed in the thread.
