I use the vinyl coated paperclips to make a small jumper.

CrazyRabbi, How much of that hash is from people you scammed?

That's the wrong antenna. You want a SMA male. The connector on the ant is a SMA female. No Reverse Polarity. You will likely have to source one from china since regular SMA seems to be common there. You can also search for a foscam antenna. Here is an example of an antenna that will work.

I uploaded the client one more time. Can someone host it somewhere more permanent?

Anyone got a windows binary? Main link doesnt work.

I have 2 from the 1st batch that are still hashing with zero problems since I got them.

I have ran S3's oc'd on CX500 for over 1.5 years with zero problems.

Thanks alot guys I was trying really hard to block the BFL part of my life from memory.

I would rather buy an S5 at current prices than to have the memories of BFL come back.

I use the CX500 on my s3's. It's way cheaper to buy many of them. I ran my s3's at 250 until recently went back to stock to accommodate summer heat. Cables would only get mildly warm. You can get a CX500 for $25 currently after $20 rebate.

Let us know if you buy an island and throw a btcguild party

People seem to forget you can't just scale up without spending way more money. Sure the farms might get bulk discounts, but a home miner running a single miner is much easier to manage and requires no extras that a farm would need. Farms need a place to put the miners, shelves, power equipment, wiring, networking, breakers, list goes on and on. A home miner with low power cost is going to have a higher profit margin than a large farm. A home miner with the same miners as a farm may be able to run much longer than the farm. The problem right now for home miners is a lack of choice of ready available miners and the longer initial break even point. Mining for quick profits is unlikely to happen again. You may come across short events like the paycoin fiasco where lots of us made extra coin for a few days, but I doubt there will ever be another large spike in bitcoin price that isn't followed by difficulty increasing rapidly to compensate. Mining will always trend towards barely profitable.

I already gave up waiting for the upgrade. I've already retired the miner and will probably put it in storage with my retired S1's. Even with my cheapish power at 8cents/kwh, it would only clear $10/month. I figure shipping would be too costly and time consuming. Maybe I could ship everything minus the case? I haven't had any issues with the psu. I ran it less than 1 year. I think 9-10 months??

One of the cards has a faulty temp sensor and 1 card seems to fail if it gets to hot(maybe the slot tho), you can reinsert the card while running and it starts working again. I also have trouble getting it to boot. I think it's the microsd card slot pins causing the issue.

The best use I can think of for my dormant S2 is to use the power supply for a S5 or S7.

You could start a real farm with that much and probably make more long term.

Mining for large profit is no longer an outcome. As time goes on profit margins will fall to barely profitable.

I understand. I was speaking to the ones who believed in double digits.

If you understood the mining ecosystem you would know double digits were a long shot and near impossible. I don't get how someone can do TA on bitcoin and not include the cost to produce one.

It's usually said to be the opposite, that difficulty follows price. I think it's more convoluted than that. If price shoots up then more miners are added to compensate. But if price falls then miners will leave. But if too many miners leave then this leaves a lot of unused hardware that someone could scoop up and use to destroy bitcoin by 51% attack. So I think if price falls too much and some miners leave, then remaining miners will want to save bitcoin from attack and will either mine at a loss or stop selling mined coins so low causing price to go back to an equilibrium.

So price can shoot up and difficulty can easily follow to very high numbers. But if price falls enough to cause 50% of miners to turn off then we have a problem. I hope that we wont let that happen which also seems to create a price floor that gradually moves up.

I've posted this elsewhere before, I think this chart shows a sort of equilibrium now
