I'm planning to get a siacoin miner like those of bitcoin antminer. Has anyone ever ordered one from overseas? I'm just thinking whether there will be any custom tax which I'm thinking there shouldn't be because it is computer equipment.

i asked my friend working in logistic about paying custom tax for importing antminer S9.

good news. there is no tax to pay for importing antminer S9. BUT. you would need to pay 6% GST on the value (insurance, product cost, shipping cost etc). unless your seller are able to declare it at lower value... biggrin.gif

you're welcome.

but somehow... trezor doesn't fit into the same description pool as antminer S9 lol.

i bought 6 trezors at 1 go and when it reaches me at office, DHL request extra RM200+ for custom tax. mad.gif

The breakeven for Antminer L3+ is around 2 months if order from Bitmain website.

Attached with ROI calculation for reference.  biggrin.gif

the 593 kwh includes the airconditioning cost? hmm.gif

would like to know more on what are the total items that consume that 593 kwh.

after trying out winminer for 2 days after nicehack and frustratingly trying to make it run some of my cards (it doesn't, don't know why) I just said screw it, just download xmr-stark and mine ETN. malas nak pikir dah lel
in other news..... BTC is freefallingggggggg! tak sabar nak cash out altcoins

how did you make xmr-stark work? i only managed to code ccminer to mine but xmr-stark don't wanna behave. sad.gif

did you get the all-in-one xmr-stak?

seems to be simple enough really.

1. run xmr-stak
2. set tu monero (etn is a monero fork) & wallet address
3. set ETN pool, don't use nicehash & tls
4. let it run, then stop
5. edit config.txt change to "verbose_level" : 4
6. cpu.txt to add/remove cpu cores that you have
7. nvidia.txt or amd.txt and change/add/comment out (remove) the cards as you wish. change bfactor to 6/8/12/20/whatever number and see if it runs.
example:

CODE

/*
* GPU configuration. You should play around with threads and blocks as the fastest settings will vary.
* index         - GPU index number usually starts from 0.
* threads       - Number of GPU threads (nothing to do with CPU threads).
* blocks        - Number of GPU blocks (nothing to do with CPU threads).
* bfactor       - Enables running the Cryptonight kernel in smaller pieces.
*                 Increase if you want to reduce GPU lag. Recommended setting on GUI systems - 8
* bsleep        - Insert a delay of X microseconds between kernel launches.
*                 Increase if you want to reduce GPU lag. Recommended setting on GUI systems - 100
* affine_to_cpu - This will affine the thread to a CPU. This can make a GPU miner play along nicer with a CPU miner.
*
* On the first run the miner will look at your system and suggest a basic configuration that will work,
* you can try to tweak it from there to get the best performance.
*
* A filled out configuration should look like this:
* "gpu_threads_conf" :
* [
*     { "index" : 0, "threads" : 17, "blocks" : 60, "bfactor" : 8, "bsleep" :  0, "affine_to_cpu" : false},
* ],
*/

"gpu_threads_conf" :
[
 // gpu: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti architecture: 61
 //      memory: 3381/4096 MiB
 //      smx: 6
//  { "index" : 0,
//    "threads" : 88, "blocks" : 18,
//    "bfactor" : 12, "bsleep" :  25,
//    "affine_to_cpu" : true,
//  },

],



config.txt - the first few lines are the only ones that are important imo, specifically...
CODE
"pool_list" :
[
{"pool_address" : "asiapool.electroneum.com:3333", "wallet_address" : "etnkGY3JwgMK63aaLx8qjuYewBVeY32cvAMYewUfr4tWDv2Z41zn6G3FWMVjSkQyu3EMYYM8t4KNKbL8jnNVqKyf6rV1V7WyjC", "pool_password" : "", "use_nicehash" : false, "use_tls" : false, "tls_fingerprint" : "", "pool_weight" : 1 },
],

/*
* currency to mine
* allowed values: 'monero' or 'aeon'
*/
"currency" : "monero",

*
nanti malam i try. thx! thumbup.gif
