Do you trust your calculations to be from a 15 post miner.  What is he talking about 12 GPU without even mentioning what GPU and where and at 1.8gh.  1.8gh in ethereum is closer to 100 GPU so he probably means 12 x 6 GPU rigs, which is something I would not invest in if money was free. At 10 GPU be prepared to move out of your room or basement. At 100 GPU you can't even enter the house.

That is just a simulation. With the 1.8GH, 14kW, it is achievable by 6x12 x390 undervolt and underclock. But the capital cost is high.

You need a commercial unit for that. The poster would have to rent a place because its pretty tough living in a house with 72gpu. I guess he could spend another few thousand on AC and fanning and noise suppression.  So far the OP would be tens of thousands in the hole along with a move and a couple of new leases, services, etc.. I think he's better off with a truck and a lawnmower.

Moving provinces is for doctors or oil workers. Moving provinces for mining is about as smart as buying a cottage in nunavut.  Do you plant to relocate to a new town and sit an house with no friends or family so you can make $10 a day for a few months.

Please try to grasp what mining is and understand difficulty. It increases daily and even you think the numbers look good on paper they are not realistic results. The calculators online are broken on purpose to attract people into mining. They are run by the big players in the game who have in interest in propping up the crypto currency. Even if the calculator show you today you can make $500/month then its more like $400 in reality but that is only for this week. Those same numbers by next week will say $375 and keep on going down daily until you hit the point where power costs more than return.

The S3+ sold locally.  Still have a few scrappy S3 units left and one R9 270
65  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: Antminer S3 ++ Asus R9 270 on: May 26, 2016, 08:45:52 PM
Too expensive and some of the cards like the 7970 are long and heavy. I would rather keep it Canada/US only.

Bitcoin is a pain in the ass to withdraw. according to me, we should have a bitcoin visa card and bitcoin bank accounts so thay we can withdraw bitcoins as fiat anywhere and anytime we want.

That's all available. Where have you been.  I have withdrawn bitcoin from poker sites and trading accounts and got it to my bank in hours sometimes.  There is no issue in withdrawing BTC, if you have this issue you're probably using a shit service because withdrawals happen as fast as the site decides they should happen.
67  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / How do ** you ** run ETH-PROXY ? on: May 26, 2016, 07:02:55 PM
Here is a topic that isn't discussed often. Eth proxy and when and how to run it.

I'm not looking for help because I already run it, instead I'd like to get an idea of how you guys run eth proxy and at what point does it make sense to run eth proxy on it's own and for what numbers of miners.

With one or two miners running EP on each server makes sense. But what about after 3-6 or let's say 20 miners. Does it makes sense to run one proxy and point all local miners to it ?  How do you guys do it and what is a safe number of miners to point at one proxy.

I'll start off by explaining how I do it.

At home I run two miners with their own EP each and a third miner which is just a test box doesn't run EP and points to Miner 1 for access.  At another location up north where I have a couple of hundred MH/S and poor internet access I'm running them 2 for 1 but would like to change that as it grows.

So let's hear from people on how you run EP with your rigs.

Mining is a hobby. Calling it a career is a stretch of the imagination. There is no way you can compete with anything in a small town or a place where power isn't cheap and hardware isn't easy to come by. Only a small percentage of miners that I know are making money and they are usually the people making money in everything else. You have to stay on top and have good finances, constantly keep up with tech otherwise difficulty will swallow you up before you mine your first coin.

I will be breaking this miner down in early June. Any buyer of S3 or R9 can have first dibs.

They are 7970 and 280x.

Thanks and good choice. The 270 is the unsung here of GPU mining. You would have to pay twice as much to get only 50% more hashing power. They are also dead quiet and only need one power socket so you can run them on just about anything. Let me know if you need help with it. You should be able to get this going in a few minutes, all you need is the AMD drivers and the 10mb ethereum package. Then run with it ethminer -G and pool address and its off to the races.

Why not just resend it as a double spend with a few extra bits.

He certainly has a right to ask and I have a right to answer no.

Video cards are easy sellers and its as good as cash so why would I take a chance at less cash later while spending my own cash now to ship to somewhere where I didn't even want to ship and not to mention I was swallowing some of the shipping too. Yes I do expect BTC to go down but that's not the point. He didn't ask for escrow, he said deal and then 5-6 hours later asked for escrow.
