I bet we'll see many S1s' for less than 200$ in the next month on ebay.
Thats the magic.... They will sell for at least double that on ebay in late April. |

Im a bit confused why you simly repeated what i posted as two seperate posts.
underclocking is simple, opposite of how you overclock - SSh into the unit, and change in the hex variable you want. If you go too low, harware errors may start to spit out all over. I think you could do 300MHz (~160GH @ 260W if i had to guess), not sure how much lower than that though
I think he wants to undervolt primarily not underclock. Some units (if they are like video cards) run fine on less voltage and therefore use less power for the same hashrate. Underclocking and undervolting at once could make these units use far less power which would be great for the long term and if you are power limited. I am assuming the voltage control is purely in hardware and not available with software so you would have to change SMT resistors. |

Anyone having really bad smells from the antminers? I had one running in my game room, and I got a horrible headache, could be cheap glue or something?? These things are going in my garage as soon as I have some wireless antennas. Probably breathing in some mercury/glue mix.
My guess, you also broke in a new (low cost?) power supply at the same time as your new Antminer. It is the power supply. I have not noticed a smell coming from any of mine until I put on a NEW power supply. |

Finally that long ass one is done....let's sacrifice to the gods, and hope our luck turns to good!!
Well we got a second block almost instantly so yes, at least for the moment better! |

All I can say is that the luck has suuuuucccckkkkeeeedddd, but I jumped to this pool from slush a while back, due to the merged mining, and more steady payouts, and not to mention the good Dr. is very responsive and active on the board here....I don't really want to leave this pool due to the fact that I just think its a streak of bad luck, and the fact that my low has rate <=30GHs nets me more here than on the bigger pools where I am a rain drop amongst the Mississippi River of miners, yeah I don't have high hash rates, but I am not doing it for the money, its more of a hobby to see what I can do with limited funds for hardware (and what I do make I put to upgrading hardware or buying other cool gizmos).
Right now i am waiting to receive 2 more blades, and that will push me to the 50 Ghs mark...give or take....thats quite a bit to me considering I started with just GPU mining on a laptop in November out of curiosity, and slowly collected hardware....(really I should have just started with blades, but the way they were described kind of put me off of them, then I got my first, and was like well these are easy....). I want to save up my bit pennies and maybe be able to buy a big miner when they are fresh and new, but right now I am satisfied with the equipment I have and enjoy seeing it just work away....
I already know that pretty soon (as if they already are not) my first gen usb block erupters will be useless, but I like watching them blink sometimes, and the fact that they have a lower error rate than my one blade that is running (which will be soon rectified once my new network switch comes in and I can hardwire its server rather than wifi which I know is bad). This is more of a long term project for me, learning watching, and seeing what I can do with what...
So I have no plans of jumping pools anytime soon (like my hash would really make a difference)...but it would be nice to get some blocks a little more often, so I can get more pennies and add to the network with those pennies...
ahh the good old days not much invested more fun then anything else. for me I have 7k in btc and ltc mining as I type even though It is all paid for and overall I made maybe 11k since 2012. Running all this gear I need to earn or the power bill is a killer. I spend about 2k watts an hour to mine my 850-870gh that is about 35 cents an hour or 8.40 usd a day or 250 usd a month. This slow speed is a killer for me. what are we up to 30 ours plus? 40 hours |

Post your efforts to get Amazon to accept Bitcoin here.
I vote we put and end to trying to get new merchants to accept Bitcoin just to convert it into USD. Yes, it is OK for a merchant to convert BTC to USD, but to just gather huge merchants who will only do a 100% conversion and never have any stake in BTC is not gaining the community much ground. It is now time for B2B uses. If Amazon accepted BTC AND offered to pay out commission sales and Amazon payments balances in BTC that would be QUITE DIFFERENT. That would be a huge boost to the ability to use and spread BTC usage as a payment method much further. |

My efforts include buying from Overstock instead of Amazon.  Ditto. Even when not paying with BTC. |

10 blocks is very little. It will happen once in a while that there are a few bad luck blocks grouped together, just like it will happen with lucky blocks. Payouts over the last 500 shifts: https://bitminter.com/stats/rewardsWe are a small pool now and considering that fact the luck has been remarkably average. Sure we had a few lucky and a few unlucky rounds. But all in all it's very close to average. Thanks for the pep talk Dr. Needed that, LOL! I'm gonna stick it out this time around. Last time I left for a couple days, I regretted it. Missed out on a couple quick blocks. Right. Luck is luck. It makes no difference if you switch now or not so long as both pools are honest. Past luck is not a predictor for future luck. When I was with slush we had periods of weeks that were super lucky and weeks that totally sucked (like this one). |

1Million?(Didnt read the article recognize the story and video)
12,500 BTC per month at the current rates.
~$8,125,000
His hardware investment was a million, I think.. ? Hes a really lucky(smart) man right about now then Nope, let me explain to noobs Hes the authorized North America reseller of Bitfury..... He competes directly with his customers.... and guess where are all the preorders money went to? Many ppl was "waiting" for their mining gear.... and eventually Dave just offer to "refund" anyway who cant "wait" Yup, the asshole use his customers money to fund his mining farm..... after he recoup the cost of the gear, he then shipped them out. The first batch he did ship them out fairly and it got him TONs of money for "second" batch..... There you go noobs, learn your lessons yet? I've warned ppl of not giving money to anyone thats building their own farm (Avalon, BFL, ASICminer....etc) but no.... idiots are blinded by greed. Megabigpower is one of the only companies that DID deliver on time or pay for it. My order was a few weeks late, I was paid the full BTC amount I would have earned. Problem with a board? Fixed! Compare to BFL and others where current pre-orders (some paid almost half a year ago) are more expensive per GH than immediately available hardware yet no solid delivery date is in sight. I stopped buying when I understood he was competing with us and have switched to another company with better pricing. A few weeks late ..... because its sitting on one of his shelves that you saw in video. Your order makes him enough money for a free mining gear. Well not really? His huge farm does, but he paid out my order as if I had it, without paying for power. So unless his power is free it cost him money. |

It also got kind of quiet about the supposed 180 BTC that Mark "found" and started splitting up to smaller amounts. Nothing more about this on Reddit either. I'm getting Bitcoin News withdrawal symptoms.
I think you are missing a few zeros or a K. |

So Ripple (RTXP) will do for money, what SMTP did for email. SMTP was and is not a competitor of Gmail or Outlook or AOL or any other email platform. It's just the protocol that allows them all to communicate and exchange information directly. Just as RTXP (Ripple) is not a competitor to Bitcoin or Litecoin or DogeCoin or any other digital or fiat currency. It's just a protocol that allows all these things of value to be exchanged directly.
https://ripple.com/ripple_primer.pdfNo. Bitcoin is the SMTP for money. Ripple is a company marketing a new incompatible email system based on closed standards partially opened up just to say so. |

And constantly the guys from ramforumz.com were coming in and saying that your Corvette can't tow shit or carry more then 1 or two logs with the top down. Then posters coming from Priuschat.com were making the main forum on why your car was not green. Later in the day the guys from vtec.net were on posting crap.
Please don't think that because you put a spin on your post that it is ok, like how it is better in some way, or you sneak it in a conversation. The forum here provides an alt-coin place which is doing FAR MORE then they should feel obligated to do. Do you think Priuschat.com maintains an active forum for non green cars on the site or that vtec.net has a non Honda hybrid section.
Yes. It was the dreaded car analogy.

I do not believe in ripple and wonder why it is so succesful on the marketcap charts.
The market cap charts are not a lie, but they are a good trick. If I have 100 special stamps and I sell one for $10, using that logic the market cap would be $1000. But what if I had 1,000,000,000,000,000 of them hidden from view or off the market so they would not be traded. Certainly the market cap is now not really $10 times that huge number. |

Today, I want to discuss about Ripple and bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a digital currency, but do you know about ripple? the most promising digital currency in the future. Ripple is not meant to replace the currency that we use everyday, it is more than that. Ripple is more efficient than Bitcoin, it only takes a few seconds to transfer your Ripple and complete the transaction, before you get bored when you are using Bitcoin. Ripple is more valuable in the future. In the near future Ripple will be the most popular digital currency around the world. it will play an import role in the economic world, since the price of it will be smooth rather than the Bitcoin. so, I prefer ripple more than bitcoin.
Please take this to rippletalk or the alt coin board. We have enough ripple spam now already. |

I'd say worst case scenario 4 months+. There is a lot of hashrate coming from the late asic manufacturers.
If difficulty is max 20% difficulty increase per week, then there might be a chance. I am betting that most ant miner customers are small and medium sized miners. The more of them the better as it helps keep bitcoin decentralized and also may keep the price up. Ant miners are now a huge part of the hash rate drowning out the two super manufacturer miners who are not keeping up. This is good. |

Figures, I get some new hardware, and now we are on a block that is taking its time to build....getting tired of the daylong+ blocks.....they kill me....
Ditto. I add and blocks slow.  |

Honestly clenell I saw your posts on the "official" AMT post. We had our differences there, BUT I get your frustration with them and I TOTALLY get what you are saying about it being a huge bitchfest. It gets me nervous seeing all that too. BUT for my part I tend to keep a level head until I have all the facts in hand not speculation as it tends to cause more harm than good from experience. I already got burned waiting with BFL. But as far as your title...I think its spot on. Yea they are par for the course. But there are points being made that the company that builds on-hand miners meaning available day1. Whoever that is, THAT will be the company that dominates this industry. And that is where companies will be moving to because its the model that works best. Noone likes to wait longer than they have to.
It sucks to have to wait so long on this hardware because in the mining field lost time is literally lost money for us.
so, all bitcoin miner companies are pathological liars and have shit for customer service? No, Bitfury gave me good customer service, made up for lateness (minor lateness at least in the Bitcoin world) and over delivered in the end. The problem is that they decided to raise prices high enough to take them out of contention. They were never dishonest though, never ignored customers. |

I think I have a troublesome unit. It says it is 42 degrees and the fan is running slow but it is running physically quite hot. It is better now that I added a second fan but it makes me think the temp sensor is out of calibration and tricking it into running the fan slower.
My other unit is physically cooler with a higher fan rate but reports similar temps.
Anyone else seen this?
