So ... I went ASIC last night
-
Interesting thought there wrapper.
-
I picked up another Fury today thanks to a couple of people clicking the affiliate link (thank you!) I received $45 off + 10% discount for the 4th of July, sweet deal!
Only 67 more Fury’s to catch up to Calem! ^-^
-
ANyone else noticed that the ROR is dropping almost daily as more and more ASICs get plugged in?
Glad I got mine when I did.
-
I’ve got 8 Blizzards im putting up on ebay soon. if there’s any ozzie takers who wanna strike a deal with me, let me know.
-
Im having an issue getting my 4th asic up… I need to do the same with the other modular seasonic i have and hook it up to a dummy mobo. The pin bridging trick works with my 2 other psu’s/asics cause theyre semi modular (thermal’s).
Once i have a new set of cables sent out (i chopped up seasonics proprietary modular mobo cable trying to make dummy plugs which all failed) I’ll have the full 100MH/s online.
At the end of the year, my GAW Vault Breaker will put me up by 500MH/s. It only eats 1000W so I’ll be selling the 100MH at that stage.

Examination and use of the Gridseed has been very enlightening. The Scrypt ASICs, by needing to be more complex (than the simple Bitcoin Hasher), may be indicative of a change in computing.
Up untill now single purpose hardware has been expensive to produce. Now we have a situation where a single use chip has been quickly integrated into compact form, by using multi use auxiliary systems, to produce rapid development of a very powerfull single use device.
What if that device was able to do hardware MPEG decryption? Or better still fractal decompression?
Where, because of the speed of operation, the unit could add extra detail to films or pictures or be used to simulate 3 D from a 2 D film?

:P

Lol… sorry…
That is provided they deliver.
Currently, when multipool mining, my 70MH/s generates about 0.05btc every 24hours… a few weeks back it was more like 0.1btc a day
-
I received mine on Monday … without the ZenController. The owners brother said it was a mistake that the CEO emailed everyone past week 2 purchases with that offer. =/
I have mine at peak performance as far as I can tell using …
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o pool:port -u username -p pass --zeus-cc 6 –zeus-clk 333 -S zeus:all
Using 333 I’m getting a 3.7% HW error rate vs the 5.8% I was seeing at 328 or any other setting (like 340).
Just spent the last our battling to compile bfgminer on my pi, but it appears to be worth it, I was getting huge amounts of stales with cgminer, should of done this weeks ago
-
Adding another 3.9 Mh/s today thanks to that **GAWMiners affiliate link **where you can get $20 off your first purchase! again).
So, I’ll be up to 6.5 Mh/s total (officially), but considering I avg 1.4 Mh/s on my current Fury’s I guess I’ll be up to 7 Mh/s when these 3 come in.
I thought about getting the new “Bee” @ 3.6 Mh/s, but chose to go w/3 Fury’s instead, which are cheaper for 3.9 Mh/s and according to my rough calc’s, even w/the extra watts (~45w more) I come out ahead.

I bought two Furys with your referral link Tuck - just to watch the prices drop almost 50% a few weeks later. OneMiners keeps emailing me to buy more stuff too - with some pretty nice looking deals. But I’m a hold off.
ASICS make a lot of sense - so quiet, so much less heat, so much more hashing power. Slowly pugging away on getting their ROI back. We’ll see if it ever happens. I actually don’t think GPU mining is both economically and environmentally worth it.
I’m using BGMiner - going to try and use the 333 setting to see if I can get things up. Anyone here try tweaking with the voltage?
Another thing I wanted to run by those on here that actually might know, but - isn’t it possible to use ASICS as powerful cracking machines?

Hey thanks, I really appreciate everyone that’s used that link! I’m no longer a 300 Kh/s ghetto miner thanks to you guys/gals. :)
I have not tweaked my voltage, but here’s a good thread if you’re wanting to do some tweaks. I’m more of a plug it in and forget it kind of guy.

If it was scrypt, i don’t see why not…
I’m planning on holding onto my 2 cyclones and thunders after they become redundant incase they can be used for other stuff in the future.

Paperweights? Door stops? The possibilities are endless.
(Ignore my sillyness)
-
lol
It’s like that ahy.

What to do with your old ASICs?.
Well they can still mine Litecoin (LTC), with more efficient electric use : it’s worth a try (currently). My idea is to trade them for FTC later and cut out the multipool middleman. I’ll be gradually getting the old site back up, now we have fully updated.
point your scrypt ASIC miners at : Amsterdam
http://pool20.neoscrypt.de:10327
I’ll consider expanding the p2pool later for a good scrypt asic coin, eg catcoin?
-
I’m into buying ‘old’ Zeusminer asics for low cash and use them with Nicehash and still make a nice BTC profit :)
At the end of december they all have made their ROI and i’ll upgrade them with new blades. -
Well done
+1 for math
Mine’s collecting dust… It’s too hot and costs to much to run em now…
I hope we can resurect the hardware for something one day… but for now, theyre collectables.

My power is expensive, but i might try setup a solar system that could roi in about 12 months.
If I can, ill get my “off the grid” asics a spin…

re: more p2pool choice for old FTC ASICS
ok, I’ll add that (catcoin)to the list. I’ve noted that catcoin +1
