pushtx.btc.com cost $6 but got the job done in 3 hours as advertised. The transaction backlog is brutal now.
Used .0005 tx fee, not enough at the moment.
Did wait about 3 days until I kicked it with pushtx.
viabtc would not take the tx, was full up.

viabtc has an hourly limit of 100 so you can try submitting every exact hour. I never paid for any paid services. I do 2~5 transactions a day with @ 0.0001/kB. Not a problem for me. Longest one i got stuck was 8 hours. |

Must need my head examined - just plunked down the coin for an S9.  Fingers crossed it has no issues since it's headed straight to the DC. |

These aren't the Droids you're looking for: S5 & S7 (Sold), R4B2, R4B4 (RIP), 2x S9 obsolete, 2xS15-28, S17-56, S17-70

Did not get a coupon. As the Donald would say sad. So sad.
@ bitmain
so purchasing 7 s-9's
and buying 2 r-4's
of which
1 dead board for the r-4's
6 dead boards for the s-9's
1 or 2 dead controller for the s-9's
means no coupons
total of 25.038 btc
plus about 600 in repairs sent to bitmainwarranty
and not a single coupon.
Damn....out of 4 AMD 380's,none are faulty...... Out of 1 AMD 390,not faulty...... out of 95 video card purchased for the last 11 months 100% good. out of 30 mobos 27 good well 28 2 doa 1 shorted after 6 months . out 30 cpus 1 bad first intel to ever die on me I have installed 100's every hdd and or ssd good. yeah the gpu gear is way better then the s9 or r4 gear. every ram stick works I think 1 melted 2 melted risers every psu used since april 2016 is still good. |

I am familiar with altcoin mining but haven't been familiar with btc mining since the btc gpu mining days, what are the estimated ROIs looking like for the currently available asics? (s9? r4?) with free electricity

Options to get into the Mining Business: (I always lean to the Conservative side) Bitcoin at $1275: * S9 AVE 12.5THs = Gross $10.00/day * Genesis Mining = Gross at about 12THs = $4.50/day * Hashnest is another option. ETH at $19.75: * 7 GPU RX470 RIG = Gross $12.50/day DASH - Baikal Miners are the way to go on this Altcoin. With your electric rates and Purchasing Cost, I will let you Calculate your ROI. Hope this Helps, Mine for a Bit. |

One of my 6x470 rigs gets about $6.6/day mining eth currently although I undervolt and have hynix mem which may be the slowest. I appreciate all your input though! |

Buy from them directly. http://www.baikalminer.com/There is also a group buy thread in the altcoin section. |

Update: These miners are real putas - at least software wise! The hardware seems ok sofar, although the forum may tell a different story. So, the miner freaks out if a hashboard is not powered, but has its data cable connected! single-board-test takes a full hour to test each asic's best config (voltage and frequency) after a hard reset - (tail -F /tmp/search). Once that is completed it launches bmminer. But if a board is not powered up (but data cable connected) it reads 0 asics, and instead of just getting on with it, it does nothing (as far as i can tell). single-board-test is running but not doing anything. Once the data cable is diconnected it does not detect the missing hashboard and happily mines away with 2 boards. Quirky. In the beginning (before the hard reset) the miner would happily hash away with two boards AND the data cable connected...  Can anybody confirm one or the other behavior? Thanks! Starting bmminer manually with a data cable connected but board not powered up causes bmminer to search for the board and eventually reboot - not sure which script does the reboot yet. |

You need to do your own calculations based on your costs (electricity etc.). Also there is already lots of info here at the forum because everything has been asked like 100 times. |

Yes if it works and you have cheap power say 6 cents or less No if it breaks. And the,s9 has been know to break. Maybe. If it works and your power cost is say 9 cents. If your power is 12 or more cents no Other cases of yes no and maybe are possible |

With GPUs the only part that usually fails is the fans. Those are the highest point of failure. And melting wires from risers and modular PSU pins. Also box fans fail also for your rigs. But its usually $20 and they last 2 years or so. Generally they werent designed for 24 hours a day of use. |
