I wish inno would start releasing miners that are actual competition to bitmain. Yes this is more efficient sols/watt but a $10k usd price is silly. Zero chance at break even for anyone other than those with the cheapest $.02-$.04/kwh power.

You're going to need to release the source for anyone to install this on their miner.

Has anyone tested what each incremental decrease in voltage translates to? I underclocked all my L3+ to 0xf0 today and across 9 units seemed to have saved about 3-4a at 208v. Curious if anyone has tested what this correlates to on an individual unit.

Anyone aware of what the next voltage step down from 90 is? A0?
Is there a decent hexadecimal guide online somewhere?

doing this on mac, and not very experienced, but running into an issue
download, unzip the files from github to downloads folder
try the scp command to send to antminer. set_voltage not found. Have to enter set_voltage_new.c for it to be found
then I get the same error as above
I tried chmod u+x /config/set_voltage_new.c as well

Your trying to run the source code which wont work  Tongue...all you need to download is the release binary (click on the release tab on GitHub). Transfer that over and try again.


EDIT: https://github.com/jstefanop/bitmain-tools/releases/download/v.1/set_voltage.zip

Well I feel dumb LOL! Will try it and let y'all know the results

Edit: set  power value to 90 on all boards across 9 units. Everything seems solid for now. Need to figure out what the next incremental step down in terms of voltage is and try that when I am physically located by the machines.

Advice needed on scaling hobby mining into small farm
by
farmerjake
on 29/04/2018, 00:59:20 UTC
I've reached the point with mining where I would like to scale up from my hobby operation into a small dedicated facility. I'm not looking to make this my full time job, but certainly have enough time to dedicate to building it. I'm looking at under 100 units, likely starting out around 40 or so and reinvesting profits. Not looking to build a huge farm at this time. I understand now isn't the best time to start this in many ways, however I've spent some time on risk/reward and it seems worthwhile to me.

The state I am located in has high power costs, so I'll be renting space in a neighboring state for better power rates. As such, I want to make sure I have all my bases covered so I don't have to make more trips out than needed. I understand the basics of what I'll need in terms of permits/licensing from my other businesses, but mining has higher power requirements than what I do now, so I just don't want to miss a step in my planning stage that I wind up paying for later.

The steps I have, in chronological-ish order. This doesn't include obvious things like buy miners, shelves, fans, form LLC, etc...

1. Reach out to power company to determine exact rates and availability, make sure the use is permitted in the area I'm looking at and that adequate power is available.

2. Contact the city I'm planning to locate this facility in, ensure that there will not be licensing issues. - Not sure if there is anything special I should be looking out for at this step. Some cities I have businesses in have been very problematic with licensing for various operations. On the fence as to whether I should present it as a bitcoin mining operation, or a datacenter.

3. Find/rent a space. Looking at industrial flex space-type properties. Most of what I am familiar with is typically equipped with ~ 200A/220V power. This probably is sufficient to start, barely, around 40,000W of power for miners and 1500W of power for cooling. As far as scaling beyond this, is there anything specific to look out for as the ability to bring in more power?

4. Set up skeleton of facility. Racks, PDUs, etc. Schedule inspections, fire marshal, etc... while property is in the process of being set up, before the installation of additional outlets or modifications to the building.

5. Install 30A outlets, start up units.

I figure this initial setup should take around 3 months, and cost somewhere around $50K all in. Planning on running the current gen bitmain hardware, mixed units.
I don't really intend to sell anything I mine other than what is absolutely needed to cover expenses. Break even should be somewhere around 180 days with a 15% avg difficulty increase monthly and 2% increasing coin prices monthly according to mycryptobuddy calc. Power cost should be around ~.06/kw

Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

Dear friend
the tracking number is XXXXXXXX(I removed this, he sent me a legit one)
You are also welcome to visit China my bro

Told him I was going to fly out and “pay him a visit”
I don’t think he understood LOL

Also as a side note. Bought another one from James at itop. Very quick. Very professional. Already received tracking. 10/10 will buy more from them.

asicminermarket.com send me FAKE DHL NUMBER Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

lost my 3800USD
Mine is not working either.

why do you order from asicminermarket.com? They have very bad reputation and a lot of claims of scaming ppl.
Because there weren't another options that day, with delivery to EU and only 1 pc.

Any update?

Is your tracking number still showing invalid?

I ordered mine on the 13th of March and no contact since...

Same shit. Fake tracking number. At this point flying out there and picking up my miners in person may make more sense.

Well, price of x10 is finally going down to realty. $2099 http://asicminermarket.com/product/baikal-giant-x10-dash-coin-miner-2batch/

Feel bad for the people that paid like $6k-$7k just couple of weeks ago. Maybe next time, they'll listen. Live and learn I guess.

On topic, I think the $1900 was for the Baikal Giant N.
just now 3100USD. what is that?Huh? Angry Angry Angry

Asicminermarket starts to scam people... he got so many bitcoins from last weeks overpriced and probably he closed for ever .... check your orders ...

So Baikal when you drop the price to $1200 let us know .... 1 YEAR OLD miner and instead to drop the price they sell it for $2699 and you have to order 2
This is a proper scam in front of our eyes .... BAIKAL come back to reality !!!


While I am concerned about my order I think it's unfair to accuse them of scamming without any basis. I have requested a tracking # from them, we will see what they say.

Is that a scam website? I was going to order from them.

Has anyone had experiences with them? do they scam and run? Or they sells for real?


Have the same question. I bought 2 Giant N, want to buy a Giant B since they're super cheap but concerned they'll never send them. Anyone actually receive something from them?

Just switched one of my rigs from SMOS to HIVEOS. What a night and day difference. SMOS feels so limited compared to the depth of HIVE.
The initial setup is a bit of a pain but overall I'm extremely impressed. I'll be switching all of my rigs over asap.
Shame I just paid for a few months of smos  Angry

edit: If anyone has a guide to flashing AMD bios using HIVE I'd love to see it!

Re: Old laptop for mining?

Hi Guys & Girls!

In the next days i will be buying a new laptop.
I have no experience in mining but i would like to hear your ideas about using my old laptop for mining.
It is an N76V ASUS - Working memory 8GB, 1 TB HD, NVIDIA Card 740 M, Intel core I7, 3630 QM, 2,4 GHz

Is this enough for mining? Would it be any profitatable? We are in the Netherlands and pay quite some for electricity....

Look forward to hear your experiences/opinions!

Completely useless to mine anything. Sell it on ebay.

Rig keeps disappearing from my riglist on SMOS but is actually mining when I go and look at it.

Sometimes it'll reboot and wind up mining an algo that I've never mined(neoscrypt)

Thoughts?

you might be getting hacked.
make sure you dont have mport open ,
example for claymore "  -mport -3333 "  as long as u have a dash in front of the port number your ok , but if remove the dash then claymore can receive commands from external source.
but it could totally something else, just wanted to help.

That was my first thought. Fairly new to GPU rigs, can I check mport by SSH in or do I need to do it on the actual rig?
