So far my highest yet Grin

Been pointing miners (S1/Sidehack) at solo.ck for a week now, Best shares is 8m and 3m. I'm pretty damn far from having solved a block, this is a lottery i'm not likely to win, damn.

Hopefully someone else in the sidehack pool club will do better than me lol.

if I count with the array then I down at 0.025 but it also depent how strong the dollar are to swedish kr
how much do you pay for one kwh in dollar?

when I looking in the diffrent antmine s4 have a higher gh/s then s5?
are s4 better then s5?

if I go for s5 should I mine in a pool and wish one?
and how much bitcoins will the s5 give me? dont need bo be exact just normal nr

That depends on your electricity cost, budget, housing location. Give me/us more information and you will get a recommendation. The S4 isint bad, just the price its listed at is. And unless you're looking for a lottery, you will have to mine in a pool.

Okay
I'm living in sweden
my electricity cost it 0.08 dollar/kwh
I have also 10kwh Solar array
my budget are little open depending on what recomendation people give but max 1200 dollars.
Internet connection are 100/100 mbit.
Something more you need to know?

Not really 0.08 is a bit high and kind of in limbo right now with the S7 coming in but being too expensive and the S5 soon to be devalued. Depending on how much extra power you get from your solar array, then you could go for S4/S5 if obtained at a good price.

I'm not sure whats your true expense is on your solar array but if you have wasted electricity that you dont get to use. Go for it. There's also SP20 units and such. S5 is just easier to quiet down a bit.

Daarn, You may not like it but - my friend - you don't know enough to start buying anything just yet. I'm sorry, but I want you to be successful and you won't be if you just jump in with both feet and eyes closed. The only thing you should do now is read, research, and learn. A good start is reading the first 2 pages of the forum here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0

And here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=81

And finally the first two pages here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=40.0

This should take you 2 days if you stick with it. A week if you like to sleep.

After that you will be able to ask good questions and we will be glad to help! Good luck!

P.S. I envy you living in Sweden. Beautiful country and beautiful women

Thank you for the additional info. Need to brush up asap. Good source of info, methinks. Now I won't be that damn n00b down the road.

I have been solo mining all night on CKpool solo version and found a new block on Stratum 0. Does this mean anything, or just verbosity of the cmd.exe doing this?

Wow! Congrats on hitting a block! You've inspired me to switch my miners over to CK's solo pool, which are 2 S3s and an S1. Happy solo mining!

i think if you find another block you should sell the miner for around 10k usd as a lucky miner. or maybe its just you Cheesy

no but seriously i hope you hit a block

Three chips aren't working right now....I suppose taking it apart and re-doing the thermal paste is an option?

No, that won't help for anything other than thermal conveyance. I've had chips show as 'x' on my S3, I usually just power off the machine for a few minutes and fire it up again and they have always come back.

I'll try that out, I just purchased them used. Most are ok, there are a couple miners that show a couple x's a piece, nothing major I assume. How do I know if the chips are over heating? They all have temps of around 39C.

Because of this thread I put one of my miners to work doing the old yolo solo. Just this morning actually.

Well now we can choose on the time of firsts miners who enter in the begining of th process had earned some bitcoins ,on the time of the 1000 dollars and above 500dollars people invested into equipment dreaming to roi in 2 months or less,and well too many bitcoin mined and price went down in a short time,now new bitcoiners can choose to buy them or to mine them as looks bitcoin is stable on the 200 mark and able to reach 300 .

Solo is currently like strategy game,at the moment ,with solar energy you can start your strategy investment.If you will be able to roi,yes you will but how long and how many days or weeks will last...i had almost bought a miner but i invested those and i own more bitcoin then if i were mining i suppose.

Coins are pretty cheap right now. I'd say buying is great at anything under $300 if you intend to buy and hold, or "hodl" as the kids say Cheesy

Nice to see this still going

Good luck for all who are still mining!

4 GHS and still going strong, best share so far is 744425, which isnt too bad on 2 usb miners. hoping to get my hands on a u3 sometimes soon

Nothing wrong with that! I've been stuck at 600k as a best share for days before. If I get stuck at a low best share for more than a few days I restart now and watch it climb from 1000 up. It probably doesn't help, but it makes me feel like I'm doing something Grin

This thread is awesome by the way. So may people say its not worth it to solo mine. I just think they are impatient. You dont make much mining in a pool anyways. And the electricity you use is really minimal.

Why not draw a lotto ticket and see if you can win.

Iv been thinking about it and I may just do this. As I do waste a load of money on the lottery anyways. And coffee. lol

Amen to the coffee bill. Grin

And we all wonder why we have anxiety and heart issues, am I right? I say go for it. Most people quit after 2 weeks because when you're watching the machine it feels like two months. Just turn it on, let it ride, and think of it as a fun little project just like I did here.

As for Sparky, which is what we're calling my lucky little S3 as of today, his best share is only 54,505,143 after a grueling 5 day run in heavy heat. I'm making excuses for him but I'm going to restart his little butt tonight LOL! Nothing special to report yet I guess. Just chugging along...

Oh yeah way to much caffeine. Lol

But yeah when I get some extra cash I plan on buying a few miners. Not sure what I want or can afford yet. But do want to solo mine. What all can it hurt besides me being out a few dollars.

Def gonna do hopfully here soon.

That's true. You'd have to be good at brickwork etc to plug up the hole when you move unless you vent it out underneath the rolling door. It's an interesting thought. I guess you could put glass in it and make a window!

Sure but then again, its your garage, so nothing prevents you from having the exhaust from the miners go straits outside, getting rid of absolutely all the heat, though not the noise ^_^".

If you keep it close, you would only need a couples of units to make it "toasty" thus unless its a cold winter, you better figure out a way to dump the heat regardless of how big your setup is.

Meanwhile 20 S7's is not that much. I just hope the construction is thick enough to block the sound from entering the rest of the house!
