LOL  From cryptominingblog: The last part of our initial impressions that did not leave us very happy is the fact that there was quite a bit of dust buildup inside the miner, way more than there should be from a normal testing of new hardware before shipping to customer for example. The outside of the miner makes an impressions that it is new (cleaned well), but on the inside – the fans and the heatsinks of the blades with chips have dust that is hard to cleanup with just compressed air without taking the device apart. The amount of dust we should normally be associated with at least of few weeks of usage in normal everyday environment (non server room) and we don’t think that these devices are tested in a very dusty room. So it seems that they have been “tested” for some more time before being shipped to customers… hehe! if someone was still not convinced that they lie when they say "we do not mine" ;-) There are two parts to that comment. Do they have their own farm with their own mining equipment and do they mine with their customer inventory. The latter is assumed to be false while the former is likely the target of such a claim. Miners don't seem more likely to be passed off as new when used than other electronics. It was probably a production sample that had been stress-tested before shipping to be reviewed. Assuming they knew who they were shipping to they would make sure the unit wouldn't die during the review tests. Either way the reviewer and the producer should have been explicit about the unit's status. And not cleaning it was simply sloppy and unprofessional. It takes a lot of time to build up dust, especially in a good environment such as a datacenter more so if it's already been pressure dusted and there is residue that wont come off. This isn't flipping it on and testing it for a week. I'd definitely say it's more likely for miners to be used before being sold compared to other electronics. Cryptos are a completely different market. SHABBY BUSINESS MODEL-- I agree with Bensam1231. These mining machines are being dumped on the market when protoypes of the newer models are being used by the company for "testing". The dust accumulation may be a result of highly polluted air, however. A month in a foreign polluted environment will deposit significantly more dust than 6 months in a highly regulated environment. One of the motivations, perhaps, for a poor business model. --scryptr |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Either way the reviewer and the producer should have been explicit about the unit's status. And not cleaning it was simply sloppy and unprofessional. any of the machines are tested for two weeks before they are integrated into thefarm ... so even in our own farm - we test machines outside - before they are permanently placed inside the server room ... even if the miners are sold - they are tested for two weeks ... but there is NEVER that much dust buildup that would cause the dust to be 'stuck' to any parts of the inside of the machine ... that is a 'test' of large magnitude of time - and has only been seen in our systems after something like 6months worth of mining ( not 'testing' - as it were ) ... but they can get away with lying - as no one can prove otherwise ... its a trust factor - and so far - the factor for them is around 1 ( from a scale 1 - 7 ) ... #crysx |

387MHASH was a bit low for an Asic. Gen II is probobly doing 10x more hash. |

387MHASH was a bit low for an Asic. Gen II is probobly doing 10x more hash. At half the power. If it's anything like BTC ASICs, these will probably useful for another six months, which is still pretty good if you get in on the first 'batch'. After that it's all a matter of time before difficulty catches up. Either way GPU X mining is done, private kernel or no. |

Etherum just passed 1 billion dollars in market cap. Who wan't to be the first altcoin billionaire?
2 Ethereum Ethereum $ 1,033,758,698 $ 13.30 77,701,680 ETH $ 44,587,500 17.83 %
Jump on the train. A ticket to the moon.
One etherum coin can be worth 1000$ in a few years just like bitcoin.

But a pain just to build it. I once started on ccminer integration but gave up. Too many dependecies. Too much work.

which is the main reason i dont mine it ... almost impossible on fedora 23 x64 ... though when i get some time in the next couple of days - i have been discussing how to build properly with another dev ... still difficult though ... #crysx |

980ti: 2,5GHASH 300W
750ti: 0.5GHASH (30W) (tdp/OC)
2x more bang for the buck with the 750ti, sp-modded kernals & configuration.
You should really know by now how much power a 750 Ti really uses. i need a private ethereum miner lol, with 10% increase
Oh yeah, that would be quite lucrative for any dev selling it. |

You're saying it like as if you'll be doing it for free. I have 1000 checkins in ccminer sp-mod opensource. 1.5 years of hard work spare time.I get a few btc for my optimized kernals. More profit for the miners, little profit for me. |
