The best price is 0, if you can find free electricity then hardware is your only cost.

Anything less than $0.10/KWH seems to still be good for mining based on today's btc price and network difficulty.  There are several online calculators that can tell you if mining is profitable at your location.

My S3+ best share as of a solo block solve on ck's solo pool yesterday, almost a billion share:

Rather than saying you can provide sources, why don't you just provide them the sources they're after?

Trading involves two parties, but the trick is the second party has to actually want what it is you are trading.  Good luck?

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but seems to me you need to know how to walk before you can start asking how to run.

I'm betting it'll be a slow climb for the remainder of the summer as Bitmain rolls into it's new gear.

I'll take +1.76% to +2.00%

That's good for default, I used to see 42GH on default settings.  Try stepping up the voltage in 0.005 increments and change the frequency per values listed in the manual and you'll find a happy set of numbers that gives your machine 63GH.  250freq and 800volt do the trick, but you may get away with lower settings like 243.75/785.  Play with yours and see what works best.

Besides having those voltage settings in the gui, the update also makes your machine run more efficiently, update today!

Are you connecting to if from a machine with the IP address of 192.168.1.xxx?  If you did not change the ip on your computer chances are it is 192.168.0.xxx and so you wouldn't be able to see the S3.

Indeed!  I was very busy all weekend but I noticed my solo miners best shares reset a couple times.  Congrats to the 3 solo solves, way to go!

Follow ck's advice, but also know that U3s are notoriously unreliable and they could easily have both just died.  In fact that is much more likely than there being any problems with cgminer.  But try 4.9.2 official release and associated --au3 commands.

There was a guy a few months back that hit 5 solo blocks with a little rented hash.  Sometimes the lucky are extremely lucky.  Me, I'm not greedy, I just want to solve 1 block with my S3+ like you did.

Picts look fake, Bitmain is quiet... 

You're an idiot or stupid, maybe both.

You post the info specified in the first post, which includes you post count and activity at that point, which is the point you add the signature to your profile.  Once added to the campaign you are paid for your posts starting at the count you provided in your application post.

Instructions are hard.

Uh, of course it matters, it's a signature campaign.

derp

A high number is what you want, you have to have a share higher than the network difficulty: 52,278,304,846 as of this posting.

Did someone not read the directions first?

You have to change your signature first, why would they add you to the campaign when you have another sig?

Most people that redo the thermal paste (make sure it's non-conductive!) do so specifically to remove the overflow.  Thermal paste is designed to fill microscopic gaps between a chip and heat sink, it's not meant to bridge large air gaps.  If your heat sink is that warped you should probably look to thermal pad (3M makes some nice ones) between the chip and heat sink - trying to use thermal paste like caulk is not effective or recommended.


10^6 to 10^7 are pretty normal shares to an S3, 10^8 happen frequently.  I've only seen a >10^9 share on mine twice.

And an hour after posting that, after more than 2 weeks of this U3 working with comm errors, it has now died and bfg doesn't even see it any more.  God, I hate the U3, why do I keep torturing myself with it?
