What do you recommend printing for the return or "ship from" address when generating a shipping label?


 I put my address to and from.

 I use the canary's zip 60181 (double check that) as a different ship from zip there is a spot where it asks is the ship from different then return address. 

I would date it for tues and make sure to print/save it to pdf before tues. 

At least pay the extra 2.40 for a signature.  priority has 50 bucks free insurance.

 So if you order 4 sticks or less you pay 5.xx plus 2.xx = 7.xx  to the post office.
 After 4 sticks use your judgement as to more insurance. But the signature is your only good proof you got it.  When I order 20 sticks or more I add 200-300 insurance.  I don't ever add more then that.  I have had 70 sticks with 300 insurance and a signature.  I have had 3 blades with 200 insurance and a signature.

ldfive          = 5 off 50  
ldten           = 10 off 100
ldtwentyfive = 25 off 250  


 if you buy 2 psu's and the meter with the coupon it is 113 - 10 = 103  


 those psu's will run  6x  10 port hubs     they would run 3x blades   no issues.


 they are meanwell psu's same as these but usa company.

Hey Guys,
This is all exciting news, I vote amateur. All the collocation proposals from GB members looking good, my preference still goes to philipma1957, Keep in in Jersey, woah! Smiley
I am also really happy to see Sam, voxelot, and Bobsag team up. I am interested in some shares so who do I talk to? Diff rates are going up so we better go big or go home. I am working on a pet project that might be a help to us, might not too so I am still working out the details before I open my mouth here.

So SaVoBob get in touch and we can talk.  
 

I AM GOOD   for lots and lots of spare parts.  

The wife will kill me if I host. In house I am going to stick with sticks.

 In fact I just sold 3 blades at cost on ebay as the wife said no go.

i will run about 100 sticks and maybe 2 jallys as mining is very addicting.

I myself have a 5v 40A PSU running 30 USB miners on some cheap 10 port hubs and am adding more hubs when my next 13 come next week. once I max out this 40A PSU I do have another 20A unit ready to go. just was wondering how others are handling large amounts of USB miners.
How do you setup a PSU to power a hub instead of the AC adapter?

Here is the 40A 5V PSU I am running http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDJW76Y/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then I am running cheap 10 port hubs (about $8.50 each on Ebay) http://www.ebay.com/itm/360671869028?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Then ordered Barrel plugs to power the hubs from the PSU http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/27-5990&green=2080D86A-1E61-5ADA-0A80-D4A5A758D0D2which I cut down to about 2ft in length.

 So far I have 4 hubs running and will start to fill them up and add another hub when my new miners come next week. Will see how it all works out when I start to max things out. But with the cost of the PSU at about $35+hubs at $8.50eax4=$34+ the barrel plugs at @$5 each x4= $20 I have $85 in running my 30 USB miners right now and should be able to run another 45 more only by adding a few more Hubs and barrel plugs.

Update: I forgot that I do have a couple of these fans running to keep the miners cool:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XN24GY/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
 

 may be workable at 6 sticks a fan   with 10 hubs you would be okay with 60 sticks.  long term 24/7 365.

  if you get that psu to run  75 sticks and a few fans longtime I would be impressed with the quality of it.   60 sticks = 150 watts 4 fans = 10 watts that is 160 watts out of a 200 watt psu.  that is about the limit for long term use.  

 still 20 hubs = 170
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360671869028?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

2 psu's = 70
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDJW76Y/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

20 wires = 20
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S7AQF4/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1


you would be at 250 usd  for 120 sticks and 0 overload issues.

  I forgot the fans  so 300 usd for 120 sticks and no overloading.  possible that you could do 7 sticks and a fan which would be 140 sticks and no overloading.

  let us know how it holds up with more sticks per hub and per psu.

240 delivered today.. got some of the new blue and yellow ones.. the blue looks really nice

Thanks for the quick delivery!!
Kind of wondering how your running so many at a time... what kind of set up do you have?

that's like 27 usb hubs required. dam. another £30 to £45 per hub or are you selling them
I myself have a 5v 40A PSU running 30 USB miners on some cheap 10 port hubs and am adding more hubs when my next 13 come next week. once I max out this 40A PSU I do have another 20A unit ready to go. just was wondering how others are handling large amounts of USB miners.
 
  okay I can do 100 on one pc.



first this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-Port-USB-Hub-for-Bitcoin-Mining-/271268038403?pt=US_USB_Cables_Hubs_Adapters&hash=item3f28d5c703

 with a better psu  i found one for 30 bucks.  this is a 135 watt vs a 90 watt.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-GENUINE-LENOVO-THINKPAD-135W-AC-ADAPTER-FOR-MINI-DOCK-PLUS-SERIES-3-/130881117762?pt=Laptop_Adapters_Chargers&hash=item1e791f5e42

hook it up to  2 usb2 ports in the pc has 2 cables 10  ports for each cable

put 12 sticks in it.  6 on the left 6 on the right.

next plug in 8x   10 port hubs  I like these

http://www.cooldrives.com/index.php/10-port-usb-3-0-aluminum-desktop-hub-with-led-activity.html

  note the  psu is too small   so I use 2 of these


http://www.amazon.com/Meanwell-Switching-Constant-Ledwholesalers-3251-12v/dp/B007K2H0GI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377983894&sr=8-1&keywords=meanwell+nes-350-12

with these.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S7AQF4/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1


so I have  only 3 psus.

 this will run 12 plus 80 or 92 sticks  

fans you can use these  

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XN24GY/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

okay first off I got the 3 old style blades yesterday fast shipping from the canary I looked at the packages  all new all sealed.  I am thinking I don't want them. I like the sticks better.   

 The old style were 10-13gh   cost 5btc 

the new are 10gh locked cost 4btc. 

I am thinking of ordering more sticks at .18btc each.   But I would like to use a new blade if it was plug n play like the sticks.  So far no info on the new blades.

 I use bitminter and java  the old blades will not let me do this. So before I order new blades or more sticks I need to know the story as to  how the new blades run.
45153  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: .10 promotion from ASICMiner distribution by CanaryInTheMine #2 on: August 31, 2013, 05:46:12 PM
okay I just got my last 6 coupons fulfilled they came today.

 
  I got my 3 old style blades yesterday. I have decided to sell them and stay with sticks. I prefer the sticks and even though the older blades can push 12gh or 36 sticks I like the sticks better.  Canary  has been a really good seller to me I think I have purchased 200 sticks and 3 blades I have to go back and add it all up.

So enjoy the Labor day weekend and thanks for good business practices.  Phil
45154  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [19 TH/s] BitMinter.com [ASIC support: var diff, Stratum, GBT, rollntime] on: August 31, 2013, 02:20:04 AM
My 3 blades came today.  Does anyone run them with bitminter/java?

The ASICminer blades have their own mining client built in. But it is rather primitive and only supports the old getwork protocol. The recommended way to mine with them is through a stratum proxy. You can set up Slush's stratum proxy on your computer, pointing it at BitMinter, and set up the blades to point to your computer running the proxy.

You can get the proxy from: https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy
And run it something like so: mining_proxy.exe -o mint.bitminter.com -sp 3333 -gp 8332
(if you already have something running on port 8332 you may have to change the port number)

In the blade configuration for user name use something like: username_worker:workerpassword,username_worker:workerpassword
So if my user name is DrHaribo, my worker is Blade1 and its password is abc123, then I put DrHaribo_Blade1:abc123,DrHaribo_Blade1:abc123
This data must be entered twice.
For host/IP put the IP of your computer running the stratum proxy. That IP must also be entered twice with a comma between. So if I am running the proxy on a computer with IP address 1.2.3.4 then I put 1.2.3.4,1.2.3.4

Now you are set for efficient mining. The Stratum proxy will receive block templates from the BitMinter server and use it to generate work for the blade(s). With the blade and computer on the same network the blade will be able to fetch new work very quickly.

I believe you can enter data for another pool as backup as the data after the comma, instead of the exact same thing twice. You'll probably need to set up two stratum proxies on different ports to make this work. Maybe someone can confirm whether this is failover or 50/50 mining.


Luke-Jr's latest bfgminer release has support for blades.  It's basically running an internal GBT/Stratum proxy for the blade.  Not quite sure how it works, or if it's known to be stable yet.  The new blades also can connect via USB, but I'm not sure if that has opened up any new ways to communicate with the hardware or if it's still requiring a getwork->gbt/stratum proxy.

UPDATE: Looks like as of right now it isn't yet included in the windows binary releases, so you'll have to build it yourself.  README.ASIC has the instructions for using a blade with bfgminer.

 thanks to both of you. .  for info

 I have new old stock voltage unlocked miners. No usb only ethernet.

 I do have a mulit port switch for the 3 extra ethernet connection that I will need. I will try to do Slush's stratum proxy on sat morning. I will get back with results. I have a quality pc (i7 3770t cpu) with a quality mobo  asrock z77-itx-e fast ram and a ssd. pretty quick powerful pc.  it runs the 90-100 usb stick well.
If i get it all setup I will be back up to 60gh

A friend of mine is getting the same error about 3 times a day with the latest mining client.  He only runs two SC Singles.

The auto rescan isn't finding them I guess because they don't work properly for a while after they come back. It sees a new COM port, probes it, determines there is no mining device. After that it doesn't try again, but the single starts working again a couple minutes later. At least that is what this sounds like.

I think I'll need to put in a new option for the auto rescan to keep retrying all ports not just new ones. It will produce a lot of errors on computers with COM ports that are not for mining. But it seems useful in this case.



doc I got 3 blades today  I only use java and bitminter  will java probe an ethernet jack I know it looks at usb ports and will find asic miner usb sticks pretty well or do I need to use a different client?

I have been reading bfgminer trying to figure out how to setup with bitminter pool.

canary, i understand that your busy, but i havn't recieved a response from you regarding the most tecent coupon offer, last time a lack of response cost me a week as after a week when i enquires about my order you finally told me i didnt pay enough for postage, so please give me the heads up that you have recieved my payment and your sending my shipment
LOL, when the price is 0.15 Bitcoin everywhere else, he will ship the miners that actually are supposed to be distributed at 0.1 BTC? No regulation because it's BITCOIN. I see the use of bitcoin here.
I saw someone at 0.17 BTC at some other threads if you guys want to buy, unsure if that was a reputable vendor.

  well .15 btc includes shipping and handling.  So if you got 2 or 3 sticks he makes no money.   
Many people were entitled to only a few coupons.  Your argument is less then perfect for many of his customers. 

 Myself I got 36 coupons so I paid 5.4 coins rather then 3.6 coins and say .3 -.4  for handling/shipping.  So some would say he over charged me 1 to 1.5 coins.

 I say fast shipping,  a few returns accepted for  dead sticks. 2 out of 200 how arrived doa. the  orders correctly filled. More then 70 btc paid to him with no issues.  Well that extra 1-1.5 btc should buy him and his family a nice dinner and the treat is on me! Happy to buy from one of the few btc people that deliver the goods on time.
45158  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: How does a new person break into bitcoin mining? on: August 30, 2013, 12:49:44 PM
I am curious about opinions.

Just say you have a person today that wants to start bitcoin mining. How do they start and be able to at least ROI their investment? Just curious about what your plan would be.


 No one  can give  real chance of ROI  as a certainty.. But I would tell the buyer if he has BTC buy a new blade from Canaryinthemine cost is 4btc plus shipping. so about 500 usd. set it up to a low powered piece of gear. use a simple pool like bitminer.  If you have the other gear the investment would be under 600 usd. you may or may not make roi. 


    If 600 usd is high for a new guy and if you do not have any btc.  Go on ebay there are very good sellers with 10 year 1000 plus perfect feedback selling the usb sticks.(a shameless plug about myself)   One guy sells a 3 pack for 102usd in hand .  another seller sells 1 stick for 34 usd  .  And the prices have dropped a lot on ebay.

 or buy a 6 stick kit with a quality hub and fan for about 260.  (shameless plug again)

you won't get your money back with the kit but you will get in the game.

at 65 mill diff the kit would earn .0154 coins a day or .154 coins in 10 days
at 75 mill diff the kit would earn .0133 coins a day or .133 coins in 10 days
at 85 mill diff the kit would earn .0118 coins a day or .118 coins in 10 days
 
at 285 mill diff the kit would earn .0035 coins a day or .035 coins in 10 days   about 4.20 usd in 10 days and 1-2 spent in power


you would spend about 1-2 usd  for 10  days on power.


So at todays numbers of 65 mill diff sticks look good

at future numbers of 285 mill diff sticks do not look good. 

   

I think diff will will not  shoot up to the 200 mill  fast like by sept 30.  we are at 65 going on 75 right now. going to 200 in 30 days is no way going to happen

your are correct that ups with battery would only work for about 4-6 hours for one unit.  So in a long blackout (think hurricane sandy)  we could be down a week.

 I lost power in NJ on and off a total of 3 out of 17 days after sandy and I was lucky compared to many.  One thing I always had was the net. But next big storm who knows.  with amateur hosting two or  3rigs could be moved to a backup (hoster) in a big storm power outage.
