Well, I hope the R4 I found is legit. Just bought one, so I guess I'll see if they actually have it IN HAND in the USA & will ship it within 10 days... Antminer R4, 8TH/s Designed for home use.NOTE: We ship the miner after 10 days http://www.ebay.com/itm/162307697540The seller has sold Antminers in the past, both used and a new one with positive feedback, so hopefully I'll have a new R4 to start mining with in about 2 weeks. Had to pay a premium price, but if it will be months b4 the next batch comes out, I'd rather have one now & hashing so it can pay for itself sooner rather than later when the difficulty increases. People are paying $2000 USD for a batch 1 so you didn't pay too much. Good to know. Thanks dogjunior. Sure hope I actually get it. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread since others here are expecting theirs to come in this week. Hope the R4 Batch 2's can be overclocked to 650 like the Batch 1's. We will see. Well dogjunior, things are looking up. Looks like they actually shipped my new Antminer R4 today! Coming from Michigan to Florida. Scheduled FedEx delivery date is Fri 12/16/2016. Hopefully this Batch 2 unit is a good one that runs cooler & not like some that run over 100. Guess it's time to pick out a Digital Wallet, and a Pool. I've read that it's a good idea to shy away from AntPool since they are approaching a monopoly, so I'll try to find a good one that doesn't charge a fee & has a decent web console to see stats, etc. I'd like to belong to a pool that is able to send e-mail or text alerts if my miner goes down, or is not hashing normally. Any ideas? Hope to be mining soon. Thanks all for your help & information. Cheers! My R4 arrived today. It's up & hashing in kano.is pool @ slightly over over 8TH/S. Looks like I got lucky and have a cool running unit on both boards.

how does it show after power cycling? are there idle ports for you to try switching with? Sorry I am too lazy to check my R4B2. Mine just stopped hashing this morning where GH/s(RT) read 0 but everything else looked correct. Every share was rejected. Tried switching pools via MRR, no improvements. Tried flashing 1202 fw, it errored out and i freaked out too. but it rebooted itself and now everything's back up right. I don't know what to say about these rigs. I hope they are of decent quality.

Same here. Below Bitmain advice on the issue: Mine also do not light up tiny red LED at the end of faulty board (opposite connectors). Sorry I am too lazy to check my R4B2.

Lucky you - mine shows same (GH/s(RT) read 0) but several flashing went ok with no change.

HW refers to hardware errors - hash that doesn't compute properly for some reason. As long as your overall percentage is nice and low (mine is currently 0.0002% so nothing to worry about) then you're good to go. I too have a good order of magnitude difference between the two hash boards as far as HW is reported - 112 vs. 1764 after 5 days. Not sure of the significance of that since overall HW percentage is low, but they are quite different.

Agree. Unless electricity is free ROI difficult
Disagree - Home miner is NOT an investment to be measured for ROI. You buy it (cheap) from maker., you run it at home or office where you pay less for elec. than you make BTC. And (most important) you sell it high before it's totally obsolete. Do it right and get right profit - timing is an essence from start (having in mind 45min purchase window

There hasn't been a Block found since 2016‑12‑12 13:30:39 As a first time miner (almost 3 days now) This is getting frustrating to say the least. Is there a better pool that anyone can recommend that is one of the smaller pools? I don't want to join a huge pool that will contribute to the monopoly of hashing by one pool. Thanks all.

It's totally understandable given your relatively new status. It's more fun watching steady payouts occur even any particular one of them does not make a meaningful difference. If you are looking for other alternatives, you may start with blockchain.info and see their pools status. Pick one from the list that ranks, say, between #5~#10, should ensure you can expect a less volatile payout stream, while not contributing to the top dominators. I personally like ViaBTC. especially if you are seeking for steadier income. Weigh between PPS and PPLNS and see which one works better for your personally. and they also have transaction accelerator function, which is absolutely great! I have used that tool a few times to consolidate several mini wallet balances with only paying 0.0001 btc for each.

I joined the kano.is pool based on the pool history of getting 2-4 and sometimes 5 or 6 blocks per day. More than a few people here also spoke highly if kano.is (CK Pool). There hasn't been a Block found since 2016‑12‑12 13:30:39 As a first time miner (almost 3 days now) This is getting frustrating to say the least. Is there a better pool that anyone can recommend that is one of the smaller pools? I don't want to join a huge pool that will contribute to the monopoly of hashing by one pool. Thanks all.

I have used that tool a few times to consolidate several mini wallet balances with only paying 0.0001 btc for each. Checking out ViaBTC & Slush. Thanks. Another noob question... So, how does this work... I've been mining for 2d6h11m40s and the pool I joined (kano.is) has yet to find & process a block... If I abandon this pool and join another one, will I receive any % of Bitcoin reward for the over 2 days of work? I don't even know the reward/payout schedule for kano.is I'll have to go look that up. I've read that your first reward/payout doesn't happen until after 5 days of constant mining. I thought there were pools that had reward/payout schedules in as few as 5 hour increments?
