Turning off miners

[trendax]

The only time you should be turning your miners off is to power cycle them, lol.

Also, It's heading into winter here in Australia, so of cause we stacked a few s3's around the house to warm things up. BTC

8 x Antminer S3's
6 x Antminer S2's

Location NY willing to do local pickup or deliver in the NY Metro Area

[silversurfer1958]

Switch em all on again, agree to mine to a specific address and use the money to set up several Solar Power / alternative energy hosting facilities so you can host your and other people's (for a fee) rigs and run them till they fall to pieces.

You have better luck posting it on the computer hardware and auctions thread then this one.

And the sale is only successful if you have a damn good price since you have way too many units.

Why not go with people who are legit in the cloud mining services?

Spoondoolies has partners like genesis mining that accepts all payment providers.

And you can still be in the mining game, and catch a break to get back in slow amounts at a time?

Sorry this does not exist.

The whole cloud mining concept is made to separate idiots from their money. Its so obvious  don't even understand how could anyone not see it.

because some of them are risky even if they are legit, due to the fact that contracts last a bit too long, and you can't resell them in many cases, also maintenance fee is high in some clouds, and on top of that you should add the fact that if bitcoin skyrocket, or begin to rise in price , you can't resell your contract for the same amount at which you bought it

they are done in a way that will prevent you practically, to earn something significant

you know why? actually for same reason is somebody able to sent thousands of dollars to some fucker thousands of kilometres away and wait for some "money machine" couple of months..

reason is obvious, and same, again and again. GREED.

and because of this, bitcoin is still alive. not because of some "haha cool, freedom, tech, idea behind), just because of pure greed. (well, some of guys around bitcoin just believe it, but maybe ~5%, no more). rest is just waiting for easy money.

As the difficulty of BTC mining is changing, you may turn off unprofitable miners but most of these turned off miners are solo miners and still there are networks that are profitable. You must calculate for yourself wether your miners still worth working or not.

Mining is getting more and more centralized. I don't mine anymore.

edit: nah.. who am I kidding, can't stop 

[Xialla]

Mining is getting more and more centralized. I don't mine anymore.

yeah, because of prices of mining gear and other needs like placing miners to DC..in good old times with GPU and FPGA, it was somehow suitable to run it at home/garage..actually, it is quite scary, because there is nothing less secure then some kind of centralized cloud:(

I also stopped and I think that this will be worse and worse..

[Kyle1836]

It's almost a 100% safer bet to just purchase Bitcoins than mine for them. With the rising difficulty, increasing hardware costs, and electricity prices being a burden, not to mention heat/cooling, you will likely break even, or even lose a little. It's sad that Bitcoin has moved on to ASIC-only mining, I remember the days of GPU/CPU mining, the key to a great, usable currency is to make it obtainable from anyone who owns a computer.

[Eric Mu]

We are expanding our facility and looking to buy large numbers of secondhand miners.
Requirements:
Efficiency: > 0.8W/G
Price: <0.6 BTC/T
Quantity: >500T
Interested parties please contact me at eric.mu@haobtc.com

Set 1:

Ant S1 - half board working 90-100 Ghs
Ant S1 - perfect condition 180 Ghs

without PSU

never overcloacked just updated stock cgminer to get extra nonce

looking to sell both of them excluding shipping for 0.5 BTC

Set 2:

6 GAW furys with PSU
avg hash rate 7.5 mhs
0.5BTC excluding shipping


can take reasonable offers.

are big farm making money, with the current price? would be interesting to know if they will shut down too

The company that I work for owns around 9P hashrate and is looking to expand until hitting the 50,000 KW max limit. The hydropower price is very competitive, but on the downside, we have to go to the mountains.

After one year of mining, I just stopped my small time mining operation In the past 4 months, I was paying so much for power, my bills were so high, and I was barely making anything. Not even close to breaking even each month. Now I just buy direct, and cloud mine. I have to keep the feeling of getting new coins each day. I think I will turn on my miners maybe for a week each month (maybe).

But I will say what a year experience it has been. From being ripped off and miners never coming that I paid for from minersource/blackarrow (prospero x-1), and from cloud mining sites shutting down after 2 months of offering service (GAW miners).

I am on the fence of shutting down my 7 S3's - I live in SF and feel like I am actively losing money, but I enjoy doing what I can to decentralize the network.

I wish it wasn't so slanted by silicon/ASIC producers with access to cheap power.

I also got ripped off $6000 by bitmine in 2014 with a miner/refund that never came.

I wish there weren't so many bad people motivated by greed in this world.

I still believe in bitcoin.
