Thanks for the replies.
Yes, I meant SD card.
I was under the impression the newest firmwares have drop downs? And additional power modes. Or maybe those are older firmwares and the latest one just simplifies all the settings. My miner settings just have 3 pool options and a low powermode checkbox. But now looking at the bitmain site I see the firmware was published august 8th, with file date of July 31st. So has to be the latest. I swear I'm getting old and with a few drinks in me, my IQ goes to 0. Went right over my head.
Ok, no nicehash
Been on ckpool switching between solo and their pool, but I think the pool is no good, they found 1 block all year. I will certainly try the solo from time to time. I know this miner isn't profitable, but a good intro for me to asics. We'll see what BTC price is looking like end of summer. Lease ends in october, will make sure my next place is like a 2 flat where the building owner will let me upgrade the power and get s17 or s19. Pretty sure a dryer outlet would be able to handle those anyway. Will have to research down the line.
Would love to find a pool that is pplns and finds 3-5 blocks a week. I used to love mining on 2miners. The first day I mined there we hit 3 zec blocks. Same what flypool was paying for a month. I was psyched. There were certainly dry times though were it would take 1 week+ to find a block. So I guess it all averages out. But it was such a fun pool as we would totally celebrate when we found a block.
If anyone knows of a smallish pplns pool like that, feel free to pass it on. 3 day weekend for us at work so have plenty of time to try out all kinds of pools. Will check out the ones above as well, thanks for that.
The thing about pps is lets say a block takes 2 hours to find. A miner that mined for the 1st hour will still get a payout. I feel like once you disconnect from a pool, your shares should go to 0 within 10-15 minutes or so. That way the rewards are bigger for the active miners. I guess pps+ is pps for block reward, and pplns for tx fee.
Lots of fun to make enough BTC for a starbucks a day, and then shit your pants when electric bill comes.
