Which is better for an S5 miner, to put it on a mining pool like KanoPool or rent it out thru MRR,ebay,etc?
Kano is a great pool, but not for a single S5. You would probably be better off with a pool that does consolidated payouts because the transaction fees to move your earnings will be very high compared to your earnings
Re: Speculation on newer bigger badder gpus. How far can we go?
Hi Phil,
What software do you use to mine? I'm keen to try my hand at mining alt coins.
Edit - question 1 answered I read your signature
Also, is it feasible/possible to slap one or two of those into a machine which currently acts as a home server and keep its current function and just use the Gpu to mine?

Okay amd is smOS
smOS is a dedicated linux you lose the pc for other stuff
nvidia is
EMBF_ in a windows 7 pro box . If you mine zec the pc can do other shit.
the better the cpu and 2 sticks of 8gb or more ram in the server you can run the nvidia in the background.

If you want amd in the background mining you need a windows box or a linux not dedicated to smos
there are at least 4 dedicated linux setups
nvOC -- for nvidia

Thanks! I've got an oldish I7 with 16gb ram and a gazillion hard drives, a 1000w PSu Windows 10 and no Gpu, primarily use it for Plex - I am terrified of reloading an OS for fear of losing 20+tb of media in my clunky old raid setup
I'll try an Nvidia in there - just need to check that I have a pci slot that doesn't have a raid card and I could be in for just the price of the Gpu

Do you have any real world experience in advertising?
The organisation I work for is a medium sized retail chain in a relatively small country (ranked 41 by gdp) , and around 20% of our media spend is with Google. Our annual Google spend is close to a million dollars, so those numbers are not just numbers on a page.
They are very realistic numbers!

Luno is a South African company that has gone multinational- you can do deposits and withdrawals into local South African accounts. Pretty much fuss free.
You do need to register and Fica , they are fully licensed, and as I understand it Naspers has a large stake in them. (Owners of DSTV, Multichoice, tencent,)
I've been using them since 2013 they used to be called bit-x
There is a big premium being charged by most traders in SA on localbitcoins

I don't find the advertising argument very convincing.
If you were the advertiser, be honest, how much would you pay for Google Ads? Considering how effective it is, I doubt it would be very much.
And think, Google have a huge amount of R&D, some of which is never commercialised, all of which requires top professionals in their field. It doesn't seem to add up. How can Google really be the biggest technology company right now, and probably the biggest ever, just from the advertising revenue that 80% or 90% or users never engage with?

Are you kidding. That's one of the funniest things I have ever read. You should consider a career in standup.

What is the temperature of your miners?
+-80° except for one chip that is 95°. I'm a bit worried about that one2 Blades on My batch 1 S9 with auto tune firmware frequently run above 110deg in a well ventilated room, even when set down to 600mhz
Great growth guys
thanks man! 
Hard day, but happy. Don't know how to post the picsLoad them up on imgur, then link to them
I think they are being DDos'd because some players don't like their agenda, but even when the frontend goes down the miners still connect.
I've had an S9 pointed there for 13 days and every day like clockwork at 8:00 am my time (except for 2 days when it came at around 9) I get my .0078... BTC
I like the pool, I hope they last - if they don't oh well I'm at risk for .0078... Btc

Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
I think my complaint about bitmainwarranty was premature - I didn't factor in that they probably have chinese staff - and chinese new year
They seem very slow to me, they have my S9 board since 18th Jan and still waiting for a quote
I'm pretty pleased with the service of Bitmain Warranty in Denver, CO. 
Even though the board they repaired for me didn't work properly after all (it keeps dropping to zero hash rate and shows a row of x's),
they handled fixing the situation very well.
They will send me a working hash board in exchange after I have sent (I just actually came back from the post office) the faulty board back for them.
I can definitely recommend them for fixing your miner.
And thank you Phil and the others who have shared previous experience with them.

Is there any problem with the pool, my miner shows dead connection on 3333 and 81 to kano -- has failed over to antp00
Nope.Edit: the account matching your username shows no shares
Edit2: checking the IP ... the other account that seems to be yours, the IP address is OK, no banning - so I guess it must be at your end.
Shares to that account stopped 15 hrs ago (as your workers page shows)
Hi Account is batminer. tried a reboot still fails over to ant.
My internet connection was very sketchy last night- not sure if that would cause a banning."?
Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
it is the most advanced machine of its kind with cutting edge technology--- with Chinese "just good enough" engineering
It is bound to have a few catch fire. ---- nothing to see here ,,, move along
It is still hands down best Bitcoin machine available at any price
Do you really believe that this can not happen with S9 ? I already sent one S9 B1 blade to China. Costs for me 70 euro.
Blade works maximum 2-3 hours since the arrival with lower hasheate. Fortunately, he was not burned. But I have some S7 boards with fallen off chips with radiators.

will monitor the miners closely.
