P.S.: the project is being drowned by competitors, don't trust anyone, check the information yourself

A simple example is at https://boxmining.com/outbreak/
Michael is kind to help everyone get valid information about the pandemic, however one post on the page is targeting people who don't know about bitcoin mining claiming they can make much larger profits than is reasonable. Just email a guy who only calls himself Mining Expert bitcoinminingexpert11 @gmail.com and doesn't talk like he knows about mining. Just send them money so he can acquire things like GMO miner B3, and you'll get great returns in 72 hours because of his expertise in solving the difficult algorithms, yeah right.

In case anyone reads this and still wonders, here's a follow-up:

It was only because the luck was bad longer than usual. Now has been pretty good. I had been confused whether my current pool pays more like variable predicted average based on how they've been doing or just when we find blocks. Actually I prefer this way, just got confused by reading so many articles about all different ways of doing it.

Thank you, it is certainly more exciting to think somebody took over the stream beyond my computers. That sounds quite easy because the security of the whole thing is pitiful. Also I recently changed ISP because internet started failing every day, possibly related to mining but not directly.

It's good to check a bunch of things regularly. Here is what I know to check on the S2:

1. Passwords have well-known defaults and SSH reverts every time the miner reboots. Avoid defaults when possible. It's not safe to assume they can't get in by remote even if it only claims to allow logins from the local network. The web access couldn't be changed for a long time but a recent firmware upd finally fixed it. I've wondered if it broke something else because that's when this started.

2. I can see hashing on the LCD often as I walk by and on web interface I check /cgi-bin/minerStatus.cgi GH/s (avg) currently 1000.31. Correct stratum bitminter URL and user name where all the work is being done.
Now I'm forgetting what was normal before with these in case it shows the problem (seems a lot discarded anyway):
Getwoks    34286
Accepted   436643
Rejected   7702
HW         153499
Utility    26.25
Discarded  15199392
Stale      161
LocalWork  283898707

3. Bitminter numbers should agree with the miner(s).
Last payment still 2014-08-10 15:48 in the transaction history, the typical amount. Compare in Statistics -> Shifts with completed shifts:
2014-08-11 09:57  Your Ghps 967.4  score 0.063493% work 5,012,480
2014-08-11 03:46  Your Ghps 973.7  score 0.064371% work 5,088,256
2014-08-10 21:31  Your Ghps 979.6 ...
(all around 6 hr apart)

4. Keep dust out of heatsinks. It stopped getting over 1TH during the hottest month here but I found dust balls clogging the edge where fans blow into the heatsink fins. Dusting the boards jumped right back up above 1TH (avoid static buildup when cleaning them).
 --

Well, I was sure we get paid relatively steady by the shift but I notice a post on bitcointalk 8/9 that says "longest block ever", "Almost 3 Days !!!" and wonder if that has something to do with it. I haven't been able to comprehend how many different ways have been worked out in all kinds of pools to handle payout.

Thanks again.

Antminer S2 using Bitminter (backup Slush's but doesn't say it switched to that).  Has been running nonstop the past week. I started wondering why I didn't have the next payment when I should have by now, so looked at the transaction history on bitminter.com...

Was getting payments each shift multiple per day but suddenly nothing between 8/7 12:29 and 8/10 15:48? How is that possible?! Averaging near 1 TH/s and stable, what could be going on or something I don't know about payments?

I know I have a lot to learn about mining but don't know where to look now. I picture someone routinely changing my miner to work for them instead over some period of time but how to find out..

Hi all, I started yesterday mining primarily on slush's pool. I'm too new to know what happened but I woke to alarms from my AntMiner S2 in the middle of the night (06:00 GMT). It was practically stopped, not recovering but saying both pools were still live. Not thinking well I didn't save details (how is the best way?), thought I saw things like one fan rpm too low, but the max temp reading was 53c so not overheated.

Finally rebooted the whole miner then it came up saying slush's was dead and went to work on my backup pool (wasn't about to swith until I manually rebooted). Hours later I checked, slush's was back up hashing.

Could this be related to trouble seen by others or just me?

Thanks. Yeah this topic/question can really only be about past experience with them. There is not any bank, company, person, etc. In the entire world whom we could assume will never do something dishonest in the future. Not talking only about Bitcoin.


P.S. Have lot of trouble with bugs on the forum... Fine having to wait longer to log in after mis-typed pasword but it keeps blocking each post claiming I just posted recently. I've not posted in DAYS but certainly 100 seconds earlier I hit 'preview' on the message I am now trying to send! Then I added this note and waited several minutes to send but it told me I have already sent this. Yet I don't see any sign of it on the forum. I trust 112BIT more than I could trust this forum to simply work! 

It's working. 112BIT responded the same evening (maybe an hour or so), then their expert responded almost instantly while I was working on it. All the slots came loose in shipping but after still no display they helped me know which lights should be doing things and what it could mean. The problem was just the SD card data and didn't take much to re-image. It started ramping up hashing, so I'm happy

And I just got my Antminer S2 from 112BIT on time from his group-buy deal. I would have got it yesterday if I was there to sign for it. 3-day UPS from China seems amazing 

Now to get it up running, which I've heard can be tricky if things rattled loose but I heard the fans work so far and saw some LED inside...

Thank you that was quick; I wonder why someone had said you didn't respond to them in so long, because you're doing alright here  

Juan I just found out on the wire they wrote a typo, with all my luck they typed my order reference wrong on the payment! Do I need to do anything else besides PM you?

I am glad to hear that, because from what people had said I suspected Juan (112 BIT) was making honest efforts, and I'm impressed he would be willing go further to help you when you had extra delay in returning it. It's nerve-wracking to me when I invest with high risk and then suspect that I might have been fooled.

My conclusion yesterday was that 112 BIT LLC is a trustworthy company, though he's had hard times because this Bitmain stuff is real shaky (saved all expense on previous batches) and gets rattled coming from China. He has nothing to do with manufacturing or packaging. Basically he takes USD or bitcoin which he converts to USD, makes sure they get it to you, then deals with RMA if problems.

I'm going ahead with them is because 112 BIT offered a good deal buying in groups and passing on the discount so we get a discount price on just one. As pointed out, even that may not be perfect because of the fast-changing bitcoin value, but the group-buy can be less hassle than dealing with coupons.

The important thing to know about Bitcoin in general is that it isn't who has the most money that wins. It is generally who is smartest. Part of that being that smarter folks can get their own bitcoin miner working, don't rely on a company except maybe designing faster new miners.

Xelpherpolis, you certainly do sound like a fake forum user to me. Juan was only half-joking because you fit the profile. I haven't done business with 112 BIT yet but your comment is quite the wrong thing to say if you have no experience with them either.

Nothing there looks like a scam, if you know the standard practices. The only reason I see that you would want to degrade the company by saying it is if you are trying to compete but they have better prices than you. You think somebody should be able to take a picture with a couple of cards pulled out and the company must issue a full refund without returning the unit or giving any hard evidence that there is even anything wrong it?
I only learned about them two hours ago but it did not take much effort at all to see that they appear legitimate and have a good reputation.

I hope you'll learn to never suggest a scam on a board where people are just trying to find whether the company has a reputation, unless you actually have experience and evidence of a possible scam!
