you guys and your stick farms, must of been a nice light show...... outdated yes but I wanna find sticks and set them up and let them hash for fun.


litecoin stick 1.2 mh


https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=28279.msg291710#msg291710

(legit imho only asking 2 LTC down payment per stick at max price of $32 a stick with $5 buck shipping usa)


sidehack 8gh btc miner stick

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1126705.0

(legit got 3 of these sticks. 8gh usb stick you can OC higher. Price is $25 a stick with $6 buck shipping up to 3 of them. I already got 2 got another on the way)

Again above is just to have something running in the basement when my home mining goes poof and my KNC Titans become doorstops.

my setup

The last toy I do have up just so I can feel like I'm gonna contribute something back when home mining dies in my house. (At 13c kwh it is gonna die guick) Smiley

I got a Bitseed v2 w/250gh hd version as a 'bitcoin node'. You likely 'could' build your own with a pi for 80 bucks less, but I was lazy it works good. IF nothing
else read their weekly blog they have a summary of the weekly IRC chat of the bitcoin core devs. I don't understand it at all but fun to read.

here is the link to this toy

https://bitseed.org/

plenty of toys with pretty lcd's to keep me happy when my home miners die. Will likely make a LTC node too....so nerdy....so fun Smiley

Im at .13 per kwh as well. I love the new sticks but cant really afford to make a farm with them, I do have gear to trade for usb sticks though. I could possibly do a farm with the cheaper used sticks like bitfury, antminer and be sticks but I have to find someone selling first.

uh... hmm. talk about hard to price. i mean, we're talking like 15 gighash. it's nothing. so we're talking purely collector's value, i guess. i don't even know where to begin. uh... 1 btc? obviously, open to negotiate.

Interested in buying a couple of these off you if they still work. Will drop you a PM =)

see, that's the kicker. i am not sure i can check. i don't have any idea how i'd set up mining on win 10. i'll look into it though. why not, right? if it were colder i would say i could use the heat, but we've had no winter here in texas.

Could use a rpi and let them mine solo. Unlikely but you never know, they shouldn't use more than a 100 watts total. Iirc these use 2w each? The going rate on ebay is $8-12 each but then you have to deal with scammers and may get ripped off. If you even sell at $5 each here that's ~.6BTC most here are buying around $10 but to complete sets.

anyone built an outdoor mining cabinet? I want to put some S1 or S3 units outdoors for the winter, but am afraid that wayward snow/slush/debris on my balcony (its an apartment) might get sucked in or otherwise contact the equipment.

The solution in my mind is a 4-walled box (bottom,top,sides) with 1-2 fabric filters over the inlet/exhaust sides of the box (mostly the inlet). Main concerns are the inlet fabric icing over (if heat removal is too effective) or being the target of pigeon intrusion (yeah these guys are a messy problem - and a huge source of dust and debris on the balcony)

you can plumb it to a universal car intake (cone) filter and if need be some have optional shielding or do some DIY.

Edit: something similar to this:

I'll make sure it's compatible with S3 housings too. The thing will be USB-connected, so it might take a header adapter or something to still plug into the boards inside the case but I'll make sure it's possible. S1 and S5, being fairly open, should have no trouble.


S3 to S5 is the same other than the location of the pcie plugs. On the s5 boards the pcie plugs are slightly further apart and a bit lower.

It would be nice to use a s3 cover without any mods but Im sure most would be fine without the cover. Honestly one could just run the plugs in there before they close it up or a jumper cable mounted to the cover. Not a big deal IMO.

Do you have a running list for the 2pacs yet? I want to order a few while I have the cash in hand and will get the BF stuff once taxes come in. I want at least 2 minimum so I can run one modded/oc'd against the modded OG stick and one to leave untouched.

Because of buck overheads and other things, the low-end hashing efficiency of the 2-chip BM1384 would only be at best a marginal improvement over the existing Compac. However, overclocking is where it'll really shine. The old stick's 5W performance was around 12GH, where 15GH is hopefully a conservative estimate for this one; 7W should see over 20GH instead of 16GH and the top-end 10W would get you about 27GH instead of the old stick's maybe hitting 20GH if it didn't burst into flames. Cooling should also be better because of the reduced heat density of two chips.

Looking foreword to this to push it to the max, hope it don't let out the magic smoke. I will at least get 2, one for normal mining and one for "testing". The one chip compac didn't seem to get too hot anywhere as far as I pushed it. Only had the IR temp gun but I think it did very well considering I topped it out at around 25+Gh.

Tentative pricing for a Bitfury 16nm pod is around $125. My reseller friends are worried that >$100 is too much for a pod miner. With an estimated stock setting of about 650GH at 75W DC, would folks still buy it? That's priced high even by Avalon721 standards, but it also has better efficiency - and with integrated undervolting, it can get better still.

I'm still mining with 2 s5s, the wattage difference alone would pay for themselves quickly. 150 watts for the same speed as an s5 yet quieter, yes please. If I have the funds I will surely take a few.

It'll be built off the well-tested BM1384 Compac power design, with some improvements to improve stability at extreme overclocking, and with an entirely new controls set that should allow for temperature monitoring and software voltage adjustment.


Oh boy, cant wait to see what I can do with this. Had a bunch of fun pushing the 1384 compac with that huge modded heatsink with a fan. If you can build it....I can push it to the edge! GL

but I thought I would share this A4 listed on ebay 136Mhs@520W
(you get 2 units per buy it now) says its in hand

Have been solo mining for over a year with 2 s5's. Literally had a share on the first block of a diff change that would of hit a block less than 10 minutes earlier.

Go to ebay and look up usb to uart. Just connect similar pins with the included jumper wires.
