Did you notice any difference in the rom file that you edited for Termie? Haven't found a rom that works with my Gigabyte Nano yet, but I still need to try the -106mV, -112mV and -118mV ROMs.

sudo shutdown -h now - shuts down the computer instantly
sudo shutdown -r now - reboots the computer instantly

FYI- The warranty doesn't transfer, so once these are sold the warranty ends. From what I've read so far from each manufacturer, Gigabyte cards are the only one that has a warranty that transfers because it goes by serial number and not serial+original owner like ASUS, Sapphire and PowerColor does. Not trying to dump on your thread, just inform all parties so there aren't any surprises.

PowerColor:

Brand New Products:
PowerColor offers a 2-year limited warranty for all brand new graphic cards purchased within US and Canada *ONLY* (unless stated otherwise). This warranty is valid for 2 years starting from the original purchase date (verified through invoice) and only valid to the ORIGINAL owner of this products and may not be transferred if the product is to be resold or transferred ownership. In order to qualify for this limited 2-year warranty all the conditions under “Terms & Conditions” must be met.

GL with the sale!

I don't see in my post where I said the prices are set in stone. It's just a starting price and since I've ROI'd on them already I'm more than willing to negotiate a price so I don't have to sell them on eBay. However, thank you for your comment as it was very helpful to this thread. Have a good day!

First off I would like to say Thank you for releasing this modified bios for those of us comfortable enough to flash our cards, but not 100% sure on how to successfully mod a bios rom. I'm looking to purchase some Nanos and wondering if you prefer a specific manufacturer over another? I know you said since they are reference designs they are all the same for the most part, but just wondering if you've found a certain brand is easier to work with than others?

Say maybe ASUS and Gigabyte > XFX and Sapphire?

I've got x6 Sapphire Dual-X 7970 cards that I'm looking to sale for $170 each. I purchased them off eBay around the middle of February and have been mining ETH ever since. I've upgraded to Nanos and no longer have a need for them.

I also have the following that I'm thinking about selling to help finance additional rig upgrades since I've ROI'd on these cards:
x6 XFX r9 390s 8gig RAM ($280 each)
x7 Sapphire r9 290 Tri-X ($250 each)
x1 ASUS r9 290x ($290)
x5 MSI r9 380s 4gig RAM ($175 each) (2 cards have broken fan blades that I will be sending off to have replaced by MSI)

Unless you have over 1gigahash I wouldn't recommend solo mining. Use ethpool with qtminer or eth-proxy instead. Setup instructions are on the ethpool website.

As the title states, I'm looking to sell my Batch 7 S7 from Bitmain. This was purchased brand new when the 2nd round of ordering was opened for the batch 7s. Miner has been running at the default 625 freq connected to an EVGA1300 Gold in a climate controlled commercial office, but now I need the space for new servers and the S7 is to loud for me to run at home(fiance). I will post pictures with my screen name later today when I'm onsite checking on things.

I'm asking $775USD OBO with FREE shipping within the US. Buyer responsible for the difference in US shipping costs if shipped to Canada. Again, shipping only to USA and CANADA

Escrow accepted via OgNasty with buyer paying the fee.

Payment via BTC or ETH if buying direct or BTC only if using OGNasty. Current exchange rates will be used at the time of the sale.

Please PM me with questions or offers.

Thanks,

Go with ethpool and their qtminer or Dwarfpool using eth-proxy. I've tried both, but would suggests you not mine at dwarf since they have over 45% of the network hash. Proxies work fine, as I have 3 rigs each running their own instance of qtminer with an uptime of 2+ days with only a few invalids here and there. Shoot me a PM if you need a hand in getting it setup.

I'm interested in picking a few of these up. I have some GPU rigs that I would like to be able to reboot remotely, and I like the fact that I can hook these up to relays and reboot them remotely.

If you break them up into smaller even lots I'll take 2...

No worries. Just started mining ETH and just wanted to make sure I didn't miss an announcement with other changes to come.

Just checking to see if I missed an announcement anywhere since I see there is a 1% fee for mining on your pool now.

If that's the case then why are people still buying BTC ASICs when there are all kinds of threads talking about how unprofitable it has become. I plan to buy and build rigs until I start to see serious talk about moving to Serenity. Anyone claiming to know how long the POW system will last has no clue as the devs themselves don't even know. They could get into Homstead and find issues that take them months to solve. I mean after all Frontier was only supposed to last 3 months and here we are now 6-7+ months later and we are still on the Frontier release.

Once POS finally goes live, I will sell my GPUs and take the proceeds and buy either BTC or Scrypt ASICs. GPUs don't depreciate as fast as ASICs. I mean 7970s are still selling for $180-200 and they are 3 years old. I can spend $1,300 on 6 R9 390s and make $600 in one month and still sell them at a 50% loss and only loose $17 a card. In a 6-10minth time span how much will the resell value actually drop? Even if POW lasted 6 months and you only made $200 a month, you could still sell at 50% mark down and come out close to the top.

As I've said before the only way to loose is if price tanks...or the devs skip Homestead and go straight to Serenity

You can certainly do 5+ GPUs on Win 7, it just takes a little work to get it going....

Light reading for anyone interested in future Eth profit potential. Boost VC is moving away from investing in BTC companies to invest in companies building upon the Ethereum network.

Isn't the BTC price volatile? Might it not be profitable to mine in the future?

I have to ask and I'm sure I'm breaking fight club rules, but if plans haven't changed from Vinay's blog post here (https://blog.ethereum.org/2015/03/03/ethereum-launch-process/), why would it be a bad time for me to buy GPUs if I'm a speculator, with a conservative slant on pricing and not paying inflated prices? I know everyone is talking about the move to POS, but that won't happen until Serenity that I feel is still a ways off based on the fact that we are still waiting on Homestead, and even once that is rolled out, there will be at least 1-3 mini releases after Homestead before we actually see Serenity. However, it seems the same arguments being made against Ethereum are the same arguments that were made against BTC and it's mining efforts. Then the price spike/collapse(Mt Gox) happened with BTC just like I expect it to happen with ETH. The only difference I feel is that ETH offers a value above and beyond what BTC has to offer. I mean BTC can't even get past the block size debate, yet people still pump thousands/millions into mining efforts. BTC doesn't have Fortune 50 companies as well as Banks investing in the technology. Everyone wants the blockchain, but don't want BTC. I see ETH filling this niche market quite nicely.

I don't advocate anyone emptying their bank accounts to buy GPUs, but certainly it's worth diversifying your mining efforts in todays environment. I mean look at BTC and the amount of money that one has to spend on ASICs in order to turn a decent profit, can you not contrast ETH to BTC in this aspect? BTC of late has had insane difficulty adjustments, so why are those difficulty adjustments okay with the same can't be said for ETH?

Even if gamers will love the upcoming market if/when people start selling their GPUs, but isn't part of the ROI model for BTC selling your ASICS to someone else? Seems the same can be said for ETH as I know I plan to sell my 7970s for 50% of what I paid ($108 USD) when they no longer produce for me. Thats the exact same thing I did with my BTC ASICs.

Even if the ETH price tanks down below IPS sales, I would still mine at a loss because I believe in the technology. I mean BTC traded at the $200 level for over a year from it's highs of $1000, so even if ETH takes a dips from it's highs of today, do you honestly believe the markets won't recover? If anyone feels they can answer this question, can I TX you some BTCs to invest for me as you can clearly have a crystal ball and can see the future. As I stated in my earlier reply to this thread, a price crash or move to POS is the only thing that I feel can stop this train. I'm not naive to think that a price crash won't happen, but a price crash happened for BTC and now look at it. So how can I not think ETH can share the same fate, especially since it has more functionality than BTC, and people don't have to worry about getting burned by ASICs like they did with LTC gpu mining.

I'm a noob and may have my rose colored glasses on to tightly, but this is just my observations from mining BTC, Scrypt and Ethereum.

Do you see this as being a fair comparison though? I'm sure the BTC crash would have happened at one point or another, but without Mt Gox the ROI period would have lasted a little while longer I would have to believe. Who is the equivelent to MT Gox today for ETH? Are there any signs, as was the case with recent exchange crashes, that they are on the road to insolvency? As far as ASICs go, unless someone has been developing an ETH asic and kept it secret, I don't think we have to worry about them crashing the GPU mining scene like you did with Litecoins happening anytime soon.

I do think caution should be exercised when deciding how much to invest into ETH however. Nothing that I've read has indicated a reason for the price action we are seeing now, so any calculations have to take into consideration that we are in a ETH bubble currently. Most of the money was made by the people who've been mining since the beginning, with the rest of up playing catch up.

I think the biggest concern any "mining" ETH investor needs to take into consideration is if the ETH price can sustain a price point to make mining profitable with a decent ROI and when POW ends and POS period will begin. Short of that I'm not concerned about much else.

Wouldn't that still encourage large scale miners to take part? The potential for a reward is the reason all big players are in the game. Just some games offer lower variance rewards than others. GPU mining from what I read isn't incredibly profitable, but there are still people/farms with 150+ GPUs still taking part.

Even if a lottery system was setup, wouldn't it still be worth large farms time to add just enough hashing power to trump other miners in an attempt to try and increase their chances of winning? And doesn't someone still have to control the lottery system that is used to reward miners? Maybe it's my lack of brain cells, but I don't see anything short of a centralized system that would provide incentives for small miners while discouraging large mining farms without some sort of human control.

And to your point, if people spend $50B a year on lotteries, why wouldn't a large scale miner spend the same said money on said lottery system?

Not trying to knock anything at all, I'm just trying to figure out what incentives a miner would have to mine/secure a network and not receive some sort of profit for it? The only way I see this working is the issuing authority and the mining/securing are all done under the same rough, or umbrella but spread out over the globe.
