Hi folks,
May you advise if it’s woth getting one of those and if yes, which one?
I have a asrock h110 btc pro+ with 6 Vega’s

Thanks

Sure why not?

As long as you can afford  to lose the money  getting one to play with  is  okay.

Mineority exit scammed?

What is this you are talking about?

They're just flapping their gums to hear some noise in the room.  I haven't seen any signs of such a thing and I followed them pretty closely for the past month.

yeah  I figured this.

Although  some actions by squirrels   show an attempt to protect its parent company.

in theroy airsquirrels is legit and the parent company

squirrel research  is the subset.

Well squirrel research  no longer takes  coins only bank orders

to use coin  you have to go to mineority to order  which is not a subset of airsquirrels  so suing airsquirrels on an order from mineority is harder.

also the payment company for coins   coin payments acts like a coin mixer (many do this)  so you can't tell  from the btc addy if 1 or 2 or 100,000 units were ordered.

My family has a lot of IRS trainign and accounting background.

My wife was a 33 year employee  a revenue agent now retired.
My mom was a  26 year employee an auditor now retired .
I worked in collections for them back in the 80's when I got out of the USN I then went back to school and got  a degree in accounting.

So  I can see concern and fear on this gear. For more then 1 reason.
I grabbed 2x 215+ and 1x nest x2g  total  785 usd.
I can live with that.

But  I can see the rumors happening.

So, when it comes to Ethash, the Acorn will increase Nvidia's UP TO 10%, and AMD's UP TO 15%. And you need minimum 1 acorn per 4 GPU's, so best case scenario is you're getting about $0.45 per day boost. the Cle-101 is $200, so it'll take over 400 days for ROI.
Am I missing something?
I know it may save some energy, but most people run at 75% TDP anyway.

I was very pleased with the overall experience.

I placed two orders with SQRL on 7/13. I sent an email requesting a change in the delivery address on 7/13 to the support email address in the order confirmation email and received confirmation of an open ticket within a few minutes. On 7/17 I received a status update email, and then on 7/19 an email confirming my address change had been made and the first order was linked to my account that was created when placing the second order.

If you have issues, make contact and then be patient and let the support process happen. No complaints here.

Used Mineority and paid in crypto, no problems for the two Acorns.  Bought a Nest x2 from SQRL with no problems using crypto.

@philipma: How did you paid for squirrelsresearch site with coins? I have option to pay only with ACH, what is not to easy from Brazil cause of hourly USD value changes.


I did it with great difficulty.

Payments failed three times and on fourth try. Payment took.

But the website cancelled the order.

I then reported the issue here in this thread.

And to gpu_hoarder via pm

And to squirrels research email

And on the accord website.

I did this on the 14,15,16,17,18,19,20 of July and the order was fixed .

At this point you may be the lucky one as your coins are in your pocket.

They took down the option to pay with Crypto, only ACH.  Mineority accepts Crypto though.

Hi, thanks for response. I see Mineority site too, but purchase function are down, always getting erro after add product to cart, also shippiment are too expensive my needs are 2 adapters card and 4 acorn's but shippiment are over $370 for Brazil, on Squirrel site have option to pay "only" $75.

Do you know if Mineority shipp includes custom tax?

the cheap one is us post office flat rate   medium box I think  that is about 6 to 10 days  to most of the world.

fedex is fedex one  is faster then the other.

one is about 6 days the other is about 3 days

what country are you in?





I am in EUROPE, so I don't know If i can take that flat rate 75 USD shipping, also I don't intend to pay tax to them because tax will be payed to my customs when it arrives to my country.

Also because my customs will be charging me TAX on complete value (Goods + shipping) it important to say that if i buy something for 200USD and shipping is 150 USD, customs will be charging TAX on 350 USD.

Because of that I don't want to for someone to return me overpriced shipping later because my expense would be expanded to bigger proportions because of VAT.

I think this is so unprofessional to start major operation without testing the web shop.






I am also from EU. GPUHoarder said that the VAT you pay on their side includes the import tax, so you should pay only once and customs should not charge you. Hovewer i have no hard evidence that it is really that way.

I really don't understand how they could pay TAX for me?
That doesn't sound right at all.

No one can pay tax in your behalf, only thing they must do is provide papers that states how much are the goods in USD, how much is the shipping in USD and state of origin that goods came from.
Otherwise it could happens that you pay TAX on all that together and that would be very bad.

And that is something that usually happens with USA companies that doesn't give a crap about EU market.




me neither. Something is wrong.

They can, there are procedures for that, as long as they pay the actual VAT rate. There are something like 8 differents standard VAT rates in the EU.

Sure they can pay the import tax, I dont know how it works for your area, but here they could just send all the shit thats going to europe to some warehouse in europe, pay the import tax themself for it all, and then ship it to customers from there.

It is, but choose the CLE 101 if you don't intend to mine non CN (or ETASH) coins.
One CLE 101 will will you a 33% boost on ONE Vega. That's the minimum promised. If the ARCON usage is 100%, that's all you'll get. If it's 50% usage, you'll get 33% per GPU on 2 GPUs.

Squirrelsresearch is yet to release the figures.

I am mining CN7 using Vega cards. All my rigs have one mini sata and one pcie slot empty. Each rig with 7x Vega is hashing 14+ kh/s. Is this fpga viable for me or not?
