I have full version and hash board version.

Do I need another power supply for hash-only?  I'm guessing that's a redundant question and the answer is yes.  Don't know why I did not understand that on order.  Probably because I saw the picture with 3 units daisy-chained together via USB.  Pics are powerful and can override common sense, I guess.

More importantly, I obviously do not know what I'm doing.

Connected included power supply to full version, connected ethernet (wired straight to router - line is good).  Pulled power from Router and rebooted it.  THEN and only then, did I power up the Futurebit.

SPECTRUM is my provider - 300Mbps. 

I see by the Ethernet Port's indicator lights on the FutreBit that it is "talking" to the router.

I cannot find an IP address for the FutureBit to set it up.  There are NO "not-connected" devices listed on my Router gateway. 

I do not have an HDMI monitor nor wired keyboard/mouse, so was relying on Ethernet connectivity @ router to setup.

I can find IP for everything else - wireless and wired - on my entire network. 

Spectrum has obfuscated most settings by making you go through a phone ap now.  Yes, I am using their equipment.  Yes, I know I should tell them to shove it and buy my own, but that's another day.

Any suggestions beyond:

(1) getting another power supply for the hash-board only version (duh, I think)
(2) cannibalizing my 3 screen legacy desktop setup and buy a DVI - HDMI adapter and cheap-0 wired keyboard and mouse?

This is my first mining experience with anything.  I have traded crypto for years - but the hardware side of things is a bit confounding to me.

Spectrum's router nonsense is very annoying as well.  Used to be able to go in and easily do DHCP/Port forwarding, etc. - now that's difficult.

Thanks to whoever can help.

Not true.

If your mining at 3TH/s (turbo mode) you have ~ a 1/340,000 daily odds of hitting a BTC block.

Way better odds than the lottery, but of course the cash prize is "only" 200 grand 

Will be adding a direct solo mine option to your node in the coming months.

that is not exactly true.

depends on what type of lottery.

besides.

if you simply set it and forget it for a while it will add up over time.

this is all about mine and hodl

my plan is to mine and hodl a coin for a year. while it does its thing as a full node.

How does this thing Mine SOLO??? And  estimate when can 1 find a block? Makes .56? a day in pool...

Going to send out an update email this week. All components and materials are on order and no major delays currently. Hashboards will probably start production and testing next week. We do have a shortage on the wifi chip for our controller, but trying to resolve ASAP. This might push full node unit shipping into May, but well know better by the end of the month.

Does anyone know of a legit website to purchase the gold shell kd5 at? Everything seams out of the country but paying with BTC?
I rather use my CC per not looking to get scammed.
Thanks

I am buying the full package I still have my 2 apollo ltc miners and I will now have 1 apollo btc miner.

Dear friends,

Ive been mining for more than a year now, using ethermine shared pool.
I heard about solo mining like 3 months ago, so I wanted to try!
I am currently mining on eth.solopool with 1.0gh/s, it have been 1 week and I havent found a block or uncle.

If anyone is more experienced with solo mining , some other solo mining pools or whatever that would help I would appreciate

Thanks!

has anyone been able to mine the new ravencoin algo with these cards?

The efficiency is definitely the same as the hashing chips (the xilinx fpga) are the same exact modules, it's just that they decided to research new heatsinks and cram three hashboards in single tube miner versus the previous two hashboard and thus the f1+ was born.
