A question about these Avalons - is the single fan an intake or an exhaust? Want to have an idea of how to handle ventilation should I pick up a batch.

I think you are correct on the cost effectiveness, however these are cheap. For a newb it is a way to dip your toe in, learn about mining. Possibly have a little faucet. Buying an L3+ for example, is a big endeavour. More cost effective for sure, but it really is a big ticket item.
I think these will pay themselves off, and after I break even well, that is a bonus. Over time Litecoin will go up, and I think I can make some $$. I'm not depending on it though. I'm just shooting to break even and learn something in the process.
What is the benefit of these things? In all seriousness, the larger ASICs are far more cost effective than these.
True enough. Good luck, hope you learn a lot, and make a little money to boot.

Any ideas on how to get a worker name issue I am having fixed?
Using ethOS and claymore to mine ETH using a remote config.
Can't get ETHproxy to submit shares using the ethOS assigned rig names. This would be helpful to easily identify rigs that are crashed / not hashing as my pool sends me email alerts when a worker hasn't sent shares in XX minutes.
Thanks for any help.

Does this software contain a stratum proxy? Can multiple stratums be configured and run simultaneously? For instance, if a user has GPUs and various algo ASICs in a farm, can three or four different stratum proxies be run and managed?
Thanks.

Hey guys, I ordered too many PSU's that are 16 6-pin PCIE. Brand new and Gold Rated. Let me know if interested - BTC, alt coins accepted, & PayPal. $160/unit is what I am looking to get per PSU.
Bitmain owns BitcoinCash and it is 30% up today when they released their new batch
It is very likely related that they released a batch at ATH for Bcash, and btc on a dip.
Doubling the price is just another slap in the face.
We will see within a week how BTC and BTH price will flow and how much real influence Bitmain has.
Overall, a price increase by +110% will inspire a lot of existing customers to change to the alternative mining equipment supplier once one becomes available.
This.
Go Canaan.
I was set to purchase 100x S9. No way with this BS. Money is going elsewhere now and in future expansions.

If they price these comparably with S9s, I am going Canaan. We've got to let our buying power do the talking and break up this monopoly.

Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
I was planning on putting in a rather large order S9's but given the price... I might have to wait and see what Avalon and Canaan is doing. Definitely not buying at this price from Bitmain.
My opinion is that they got overly excited because of the high demand the last few months- maybe the price will cool off the demand and they will come to their senses.
Why is there no manufacturer in US?:/ all of a sudden crowd funding looks like a good idea - God knows we have the brain power and resources - all we need is a good plan and financial backing.
Same here. I'll just hodl for now. There will be dunce caps that buy at this price but hopefully they dry up quick.

Fuck these greed bags. $2725 per unit on the new batch. Save your money.
Hi Folks...Has anyone figured out an easy way to keep the transaction fees and not pay 4% to antpool? I know that mining with Antpool you don't get the transaction fees. But how is everyones experience mining with pools like Kanopool and BCMonster? Thanks.
If you really want to keep mining BTC on Antpool, use PPS+.
I recommend mining BCH on there using PPLNS though. The transaction fees for BCH are next to zero and you still get 0% fees. I'm actually surprised they run it that way, their making next to nothing.

Interestingly, the Chinese pools show no data about traffic on each of their servers - US, China, EU..... I seem to remember that they used to. Its difficult to gauge how much Bitcoin hashrate is coming out of the US.

Antpool is actually a good place to mine BCH using PPLNS. The transaction fees on that blockchain are next to nothing, so 0%?? Sign me up.
Why does it matter where regionally the pool's owner is based?
Almost every major pool has multiple instances spread across the world to lower stales. Even if the owners are in China, the miners themselves are globally distributed.
It is pretty trivial to setup a pool these days - so in the event that one of the Chinese ones were shut down, it'd be easy to setup a pool in another region.
The matter is how the pools are run, the high fees, and where the profits are going. Right now China dominates Bitcoin mining and this lack of competition affects all miners that aren't in a position to reliably solo mine.
Did not create this thread to start a philosophical debate though, interested in feedback on what feature(s) would motivate you to switch from your current pool.
I actually always mine on pools that are not necessarily the biggest and most popular, but those who have a decent size of miners and a reasonable fee.
Spreading the hash across many pools and not concentrate all the hashing power into the hands of few is healthy.
So you have any specific features you'd like to see in a pool that would draw you away from your current one?
