Miner resets to mine for bitmain

Hey all, I have an Antminer A3 setup on antpool for 3 days now. I regularly check that it’s hashing well. Today is the second time that it stopped working. When I go on my awesome miner software, it shows that it’s mining for the worker antminer.1 and it would continue to do so until I switch it. I lost 9 hours today and 11 hours before yesterday.

Anybody else have or had this problem? How can I fix it?

If you believe in BTC, mine on!

There's a reason why Bitmain is dumping s9's on the market....new stuff is incoming (and is probably mining already)

They are selling it for 2300 instead of 1400(November price). I wouldn't call that dumping.

Bitmain sent 1 S9 with a different exhaust fan

I ordered a lot of S9's (January Batch) and all of them came with the Y.L. D12BM-12D Fan (yellow colored sticker). But one of them came with a Nidec Ultraflo fan. Putting my hand in front of the fans, it is clear that the Nidec is not as powerful as the Y.L.

Should I be concerned? Anybody else have that fan? It just seems weird to me that machines from the same January Batch have different fans.

I've found WhatToMine to be pretty accurate - there is some variance as people pointed out with tx fees and pool fees, but beyond that it tracks well.  Nicehash is a bit tricky, as their listing on their is also an estimate based on them coin-hopping, so one something like SHA256 it's probably more accurate than something like equihash where the field of coins is a bit more even.  I haven't used antpool in a long time, but back in the day it used to be PPS, whereas Nicehash is PPLNS, so that would also affect your returns as you will have more 'luck' playing a factor with PPLNS.

The biggest thing to keep in mind with WhatToMine, especially with alts, is the market volume - some small alts can show awesome returns, but the volume is like $1000, so even if you mined it, it would be difficult to sell in any meaningful amount.  Beyond that I think it's a great tool...

What pool do you use for Bitcoin mining if you don't mind me asking.

AwesomeMiner has nothing to do with speeds or pools or anything. It just controls your machine.

You need to do some more research to understand what you are doing because it sounds like you dont have a firm grasp on how pools and such work.

There are a ton of pools out there with various fees so it depends on that as well as if you are mining bitcoin, bitcoin cash, or some sha256 altcoin.


Also remember whattomine is just an aggregate site giving you estimates.


You have a bitcoin miner, just mine bitcoin. The max daily profit is meaningless since you are not converting your coins the second you mine them anyway.

Correction, I have a SHA-256 miner!

 Hey guys,  I just recently started mining with S9s. I've been using NiceHash pool through my awesome miner software. For testing purposes, I decided to switch one of my machines to whattomine.com's  recommendation,  which showed bitcoin making 70 cents more per day than nicehash. So I  switched to antpool. However, that machine was making just as much as the nicehash assigned machines according to awesome miner. So is whattomine.com inaccurate or it is the awesome miner?

by

on 15/02/2018, 14:00:00 UTC
As tittle says, im looking to get rid of my miners because seems like my electricity can't handle them.
I have 10x A3, 25x S9 and 15xL3+ for sale.
Uploading screenshots of A3 because i just unboxed the last one, will upload the screenshots of the other miners soon as possible.
I see people selling the A3 for 3000-3500 so i will consider the price with serious buyer.
About the S9's and the L3's, they will go just the same.
A3's been working for 2 days and the other miners for almost month (not full month).
Shipping is from EU and all taxes are paid.
Escrow is welcome.
Can ship world wide via DHL Express (2-4 days)
The best way to reach me is skype, because i barely check the forum, so reach me there for fastest respond.

Noob question about remote mining
by

on 13/02/2018, 03:33:14 UTC
Hi all, I wanted to know if it is possible to use the awesome miner program to remotely manage my S9's that will be stored in a data center far away from me. I heard of Firewall/VPN but I am very unfamiliar with how it works. If I have a firewall, would I be able to remotely manage awesome miner software from my windows laptop? If yes, would I need a computer constantly present at the data center as well, or just the firewall?

I'll give you $1,125.00 per. Offer only good for 8 hours. Daily revenue on these is $7.50. Better hurry. Going lower every minute.

Oh look who it is, the same prick that trolled my post, now trying to instill fear on the seller. Nobody will sell it to you at that price. Beat it!

Good for you. I hope you realize how lucky you are to find such idiots to pay that kind of money for a soon to be "old technology" machine that is swamping the network just prior to a new technology release. While price goes down and difficulty goes up all these morons that buy from resellers are going to get their ass handed to them. It sure is fun to watch human stupidity.

If you think the price is gonna keep going down,  there is no reason for you to be interested to buy these machines at all.
I don't "think" I know. I'm not interested. Just trying to help some of these stupid assholes in this forum not support price gouging reseller scum like you. BTW daily profit on S9 now $7.50 p/d. 13.5 month payback for your crap. Beat it.

And go read a book about supply and demand, you Jabroni!

In my original post I said send me offers, but everybody is asking for the price on PM and on this post lol... Right now I might have somebody pick up 6 from Craigslist in a couple of hours,  so I have 2 left if that happens. I'm selling it for 3300 each so I'd like to keep it in that ballpark.

Re: Bitcoin Difficulty Increase what's going on ?
by
vk985
on 26/01/2018, 23:55:31 UTC
I am afraid with the level that difficulty is increasing it will be hard for the little guys to really benefit from mining in the future. I have debated on buying S9's now or just wait for the next generation of miners to come out and save my money in the meantime. Id hate to buy 20k worth of S9's and then something new comes out. Looks like the E10 is 18Th/s . Certainly other companies will have to step up to compete with that.

People have been saying this since 2013!!  Cheesy

Seriously though difficulty will follow price in the long run.  The reason diff has increased exponentially is quite obviously because coin price has as well.  If coin price was still $100 do you think we would have this much hash rate LOL?  It's not hard to see that the more profitable mining is the more people want to do it!  As it becomes less profitable less people are inclined to mine.  If coin price ever stabilized for a long period of time we would hit a soft equilibrium where only those with the lowest of overhead prices would be able to mine profitably.  Believe it or not the system was designed as a near zero sum game and is working exactly as intended.

The problem is that this motion of diff following price is really really slow compared to how fast coin price fluctuates.  Diff is always trying to play catch up.  With such massive volatility in coin price the old slow train diff just can't keep up.

You can't predict what will happen to diff because you can't predict what will happen to coin price.  What we do know is that if coin price explodes or trends up for a "long" time that difficulty will move with it... eventually.  2017 saw both, it makes a lot of sense to predict diff is going up.  If newer machines are made available it will only go up faster!



What amount would you consider to be a low overhead per S9?

Hello,

I just checked the difficulty and it seems to increase a lot lately.

What is the reason behind this?

At this rate and if the price doesn't increase an s9 will not be much profitable by the summer....

I'm struggling whether I should invest in a dozen of S9 but things are not so motivating now compare to sept/oct when i first look into it.

Thanks for your insights.

We can all agree on one thing, everybody and their mother is talking about mining, and it will only be EXPONENTIALLY increasing from here. Current mining difficulty is 2.2 Trillion, and it went up 1 trillion from exactly 3 months ago. So If I was to predict the difficulty rate by end of 2018, considering the exponential factor. I would do it like this:

Apr 20th - 2.2+1.5=3.7 Trillion
Jul 20th -  3.7+2=5.7 Trillion
Oct 20th - 5.7+2.5=8.2 Trillion
Jan 20th - 8.2+3=11.2 Trillion

This makes the average difficulty for the 12 months at 6.7 Trillion.
Being optimistic about bitcoins price, we can say that it's 12 month average will be $30k. After $150 in electricity costs, that will leave us with with an average monthly profit of $300 per month per S9 from now until January 20th, 2019. That is my prediction. Any thoughts?
Well it's currently 2.6T with about 19Eh/s in gear. For the diff to get to 11.2T, there would have to be another 70-75Eh/s in miners manufactured. Which would be a shit ton more than has been produced since the inception of the s9. I don't think the chip foundries could even keep up with that demand.

Well it already went up 0.4 Trillion from my January 20th posting. Believe it or not, it's happening lol.
