[lee group]1150$! The group buy of hosted bitmain S7 @4.73T online on 27th Jan!!

[sjc1490]

Thanks Lee,
Compensation received and miners on line all as promised.

[squall1066]

4xs5 for only $600 for the lot, this is because hosting is now up, offer valid for 48 hours, after it will be $180 a unit as I will have paid for hosting.

Regards.

I've got 2x S5 hosted with Li that I'm ready to sell.  Make a reasonable offer.

Got my hosting bill today... why do the two new S7s need to pay for 54 days? Is that to pay for the "hosting" we've had waiting for them to come online? Thanks.

Good question, i completely missed that part of the bill that said we must pay more than a month worth of mining for each device. Especially, since the invoice period is documented as 2016-2-21— 2016-3-20.

He added the 2 compensation periods of 12 days per period.  So 24 days miners were not online for us but compensated + 2/21/16 - 3/20/16 30 days gives us the 54 days. 

I was hoping to get a hosting cut on the compensated period to make up for the price we got locked in to when Bitmain lowered their later Batch prices.

I agree + I mine on Kano where return is more than 100%.

This. Of course he compensated, but also did not have power cost for the miners. In the end this lowers our compensation to the PPS value - hosting. We could have earned more depending on the selected pool.

EDIT: Essentially what sky said.

Did ya'll pay hosting yet?

[mxnsch]

I will today. Not really happy but at least my two S7 are running with 100% uptime with an average hashrate of 10.5T.

Agreed. I've had a very consistent constant hashrate with no dropouts so far.  So I'm very pleased with that!  

Edit: PAID 2/24/16

Absolutely! Apart from this - if anyone is interested in the stratum-proxy configuration referenced by superbull a couple of posts before, i am currently building a stratum-proxy[1] setup in my AWS account to support easier pool failover / switching without bothering (and waiting for) Lee.

It already kind of works, but there are some issues with the configuration that i am not 100% happy about and testing. I am still testing before doing the final switch and also asked superbull for some hints he might be able to share.

If there is enough interest, i will do a write-up.

you don't need a proxy if you don't mine at nichhash, because (1) they run port 3334 for sha256, (2) you need to define a price


simply use CNAME for those 3333 pools

miner config pool1 [<your-hostname>.ddns.org:3333]   ->   DNS Alias (CNAME) map to sg.kano.is for example


register your own hostname at no-ip.com, free for 3 hostnames, $19 a year for 25 hostnames

some of my s7 are running CNAME other are using proxy, because Li is not willing to change the settings for me, sad...

That's a fairly working hack for sure, too. Did not think about that one yet and the good thing about this is, that it can even be monitored easily ;-)
Only caveat: worker names and stuff have to be consistent across pools.

Thank you, that's the proxy with extranonce support i am using.

The main reason i want to go via this proxy is that i have one central web interface (the stratum-proxy has a decent one) under my control where i can tell Lee Team once to point my miners to the proxy as first pool and change all pool priorities, worker settings and more myself after that. It's really a win-win.

Thanks for the pointers and config, superbull!

mxnsch,

if your proxy is outside of China you'll end up against the Great Firewall of China and your miners will not be able to reach it (stably at least).

So you'll need to have a pool inside China at least as a backup.

I'm mining with Lee since the beginning of 2014 and in the end I was forced to use Chinese pools to have reliable mining (I was using Slush's proxy running in a datacenter in Europe).

Regards.

Be assured i know how to get around that, thanks for the warning!

still got 4 x s5 up for grabs paid hosting this month, write to me any offer, I will consider.

Thanks.

[yuckotheclown80]

@pcfli i paid the service fee.
But the service for this month was c**p !
The highest rate what i got was 200 ghs with a S5.
And that was only a couple of hours a day !

Here is the form to report miners down / hashing slow:

You shouldn't worry, Li will compensate any downtime exceeding 14 hours a month.
