(and hopefully teaching the robot how to handle the pot)
Well, you need to smoke every day for a couple years to build up a good tolerance.  |

In fact, it's actually the most power-efficient publicly-sold bitcoin miner in the world at this time.
Is this statement from the first post still accurate in light of the release of the S7? Finally got my BTC lined up, will be placing my order shortly.  |

I'd rather have 100 S7s, your electricity bill would be much, much less.  |

Back to back mega elec bills with my AC running and I've had to shut off all but my USB stick miners. I'll fire the S3 boxes back up this winter. GL, solo miners!

Remember that miners are the ones that suffer from deflation. They should be the only ones voting.
Congrats to the miner that got the BIP100 block!
Congrats indeed! And miners do decide, they vote by mining at a pool that supports whatever their choice is. |

Me too, but I think that fall is approaching and miners are coming back online. And the S7 announcement gets everyone excited. Time to get as much ROI out of those miners as they can before they get replaced with the next gen stuff.

I am using BFGMiner 5.2.0
What is your command line to use the U3 w/5.2.0? Do you use the timing function, or ignore it? Thanks. |

Well the thing is, BIP100 is a mechanism for going up if and when we need to, up to a maximum of 32MB which gives us likely a decade of breathing room before needing to be revisited. It is not a block size choice in and of itself. As far as the mining community goes it's the most popular one for us, since it actually hands the block size choice to miners...
Is BIP100 an "ultimate solution" to the block size debate, or will developers continue to work on other solutions in the mean time? It seems to me like the best solution has yet to be developed. I do like that BIP100 lets the miners decide rather than 2 developers all by themselves, and it gets my vote for the best solution at this moment. Hopefully this will be our near-term future, XT will go away, and price will start climbing back up. This much turmoil next year when the halving approaches could be disastrous. |

I only have a S3 connected to the pool. But payout seems really low compared
You're getting paid for 94 and 43 GH/s, your S3 should be more like 450 GH/s. Therein lies your low payouts. |

bitcoinwisdom.com still appears to be hung. BTC seems to be crawling back up to $230 at this time.
I've noticed it's been following the fiat market trends during this recent downturn. Markets are up, bitcoin is up, and that means difficulty will be up, too.  |

Kudos and congrats! He hit one last last week as well. Good way to finish your summer. |

Why not use an S3 instead? It uses the same/less power than a S1 and hashes more than twice as fast.

Can the device be reset programatically from within cgminer?
Cgminer tries to reset it every way possible - watch for the reset messages which occasionally work. This cannot be fixed on the software end. Cgminer will succeed, too. You'll notice this as the AU3 # changes. It starts at AU3 0, then AU3 1, AU3 2, etc. But eventually only a hard reset will cure the ZOMBIE. |

even with CPU you can be lucky and find a block
well there is lucky and then there is unreal luck. but you are correct it could happen. It could, but it won't. Lucky is solving a block solo with <1TH at today's difficulty. Unreal luck is the guy who earlier this year hit 5 solo blocks renting hash in a matter of a few weeks. Solving a block at >50,000,000,000 difficulty with a cpu ain't gonna happen, let's be realistic. |

I need to upgrade my Bitcoin 0.7.2 BETA
it has been updating for a week now with no new blocks and stuck on 67.0%
Back up wallet.dat. Download Bitcoin core 0.11.0: https://bitcoin.org/en/downloadInstall over your old install. Run executable and wait ~5 days to sync the blockchain. I run BOTH, that is how I handled the choice.
You handled the choice by not making a choice? How ambivalent of you. |

Most places that you already have a relationship with (work for instance) won't mind you running a tiny S3 under your desk
You've never worked anywhere with an IT department it would seem.  "What do you mean you want to use a non-company issued mouse?!" |

Sounds like a fun idea.
However, right now, a separate setup to run just 1 stick and another setup to run 4 sticks (got 5 sticks coming), is not in the budget.
Unless there is a way to separate out 1 stick to point at it, and have the other 4 sticks running at the same time, on the same Pi?
Could it be done running two instances of cgminer and blacklisting/whitelisting opposite devices on each instance? As soon as I get my sticks I'm in, sounds like fun. |

buy a stick or two and I will try to make a compac solo mining club. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1157503.0admission to the club would be point 1 or more sticks to a proxy that points to ck's solo pool Since a stick costs about .11 btc if we point 100 sticks to a proxy and hit a block we split 24 btc well maybe 24.5 btc 100 ways which is .245 btc for the stick = profit all ideas welcome on that thread. That's a great idea, I love it! Had some surprise bills show up so I'm yet to order my sticks, but when I do count me in. |
