there is no--shutdown button
AppleMiner · · #41991
or turn off, sleep nothing
AppleMiner · · #41992
its either plugged in and working, or no power and off
solidnetmoney · · #41993
i see a small black button on the back of my l3+
AppleMiner · · #41994
OMG a computer thats binary! impossible!
AppleMiner · · #41995
do not press the shiny black button
AppleMiner · · #41996
actually press away its not easy to activate
solidnetmoney · · #41997
what is it for? I almost push it last time
AppleMiner · · #41998
if you like...static the wrong info, and cant connect to the miner, that lets you go back to DHCP
AppleMiner · · #41999
but to activate it, you have to
AppleMiner · · #42000
turn on the miner, push it 3 times, stand on 1 foot, hop around the room backwards 1 time, press it 3 more times, do a cartwheel, then hold it in for 3 mins.
solidnetmoney · · #42001
what does it do? I don’t get it
AppleMiner · · #42002
it resets the miner
solidnetmoney · · #42003
lol, you’re kidding
AppleMiner · · #42004
when you put in the wrong STATIC network info
AppleMiner · · #42005
and can no longer access the miner.
AppleMiner · · #42006
you have to do all that crap to make it reset back to DHCP so it can get back on the network so you can access it again
solidnetmoney · · #42007
then, I won’t touch that crazy button
AppleMiner · · #42008
again you can touch it all you want
AppleMiner · · #42009
as long as you arent hopping on 1 foot backwards and doing a cartwheel it shouldnt activate
solidnetmoney · · #42010
it can drive people crazy. almost did, out of curiosity. i’m glad i diidn’t
AppleMiner · · #42011
you have a better change of hitting the lottery than resetting your miner by pressing that button randomly
solidnetmoney · · #42012
i guess
AppleMiner · · #42013
unless you are hopping on 1 foot doing a cartwheel
AppleMiner · · #42014
if the miner is running, and you have both feet on the ground that button should be totally safe
solidnetmoney · · #42015
haha
AppleMiner · · #42016
ill see if i can find it

thanks
solidnetmoney · · #42019
You set your password on: n, or d
AppleMiner · · #42020
so within the first 10 mins of turning it on, you have to press and hold that for 5 secs
AppleMiner · · #42021
n=myminer
AppleMiner · · #42022
you can set all of them
AppleMiner · · #42023
a=scrypt n=myminer d=131072
AppleMiner · · #42024
just put a space and any other augments you want to pass in
solidnetmoney · · #42025
hold on. this is good stuff here
AppleMiner · · #42026
its on the help pages
AppleMiner · · #42027
under password augments
solidnetmoney · · #42028
yes, but I didn’t want to mess up things
AppleMiner · · #42029
that help page has lots of good info in it
AppleMiner · · #42030
you cant mess anything up
AppleMiner · · #42031
you may not make as much as someone else
AppleMiner · · #42032
or not do your full potention
solidnetmoney · · #42033
give me an example of how you use your for more profits
AppleMiner · · #42034
potential, but you cant screw up unless you overclock and burn it up
AppleMiner · · #42035
i mine on here?
solidnetmoney · · #42036
i didn’t overclock it. too risky
AppleMiner · · #42037
so others mine elsewhere
AppleMiner · · #42038
thats how I use mine for more profit than they get
AppleMiner · · #42039
some other people may know of a better pool than this, they use their miners for more profit than me
solidnetmoney · · #42040
ok, so what do you put on password:
AppleMiner · · #42041
n=myminer
solidnetmoney · · #42042
you wrote this earlier » a=scrypt n=myminer d=131072
AppleMiner · · #42043
examples of what all you can put in the password field
AppleMiner · · #42044
a isnt needed, its understood as scrypt
AppleMiner · · #42045
so optional if doing the defualt, scypt
AppleMiner · · #42046
but it can be included
solidnetmoney · · #42047
but for more profits, you use » a=scrypt n=myminer d=131072
solidnetmoney · · #42048
or just » n=myminer
AppleMiner · · #42049
i use n=myminer
AppleMiner · · #42050
i dont know what more profits is
AppleMiner · · #42051
if i did id be using those settings
solidnetmoney · · #42052
got you
AppleMiner · · #42053
my problem is I only have the 1 miner
AppleMiner · · #42054
so its hard to test anything
AppleMiner · · #42055
if I had 2 i could put 1 here and 1 at nicehash and comare them
AppleMiner · · #42056
and then swap them the next day and compare it again and see if its the pools or the miners
solidnetmoney · · #42057
me too. when did you begin mining
AppleMiner · · #42058
id love to have 2 miners and set 1 with d=131072 and 1 normal and compare them
AppleMiner · · #42059
5 years ago
solidnetmoney · · #42060
wow
solidnetmoney · · #42061
u must be rich now
AppleMiner · · #42062
nope
AppleMiner · · #42063
understand until may of 2017 the coins were worth dirt
AppleMiner · · #42064
3000 litecoins and a buck could buy you a coffee.
solidnetmoney · · #42065
i wish i had 10 litecoins
AppleMiner · · #42066
i had....3100 of them
solidnetmoney · · #42067
had to take a personal loan to buy my L3+
AppleMiner · · #42068
never never do that
AppleMiner · · #42069
only invest what you have on hand and can afford to lose all of.
AppleMiner · · #42070
so if the coins go belly up tomorrow you owe, and owe, and then owe some more?
solidnetmoney · · #42071
hope I get to pay it back on time.
solidnetmoney · · #42072
yes, i hope not
AppleMiner · · #42073
no, its a good 8 months from now
AppleMiner · · #42074
hopew you got 1 year no interst
solidnetmoney · · #42075
I was with Hells Fargo
AppleMiner · · #42076
condolensces
solidnetmoney · · #42077
3 years , and I think interest was at 15 or more
solidnetmoney · · #42078
i hate this bank. I call it Hells Fargo, instead of Wells fargo
AppleMiner · · #42079
i got that.
AppleMiner · · #42080
cant believe people take out loans to play the lottery
AppleMiner · · #42081
if this was 600 mill lotto powerball jackpot i could get it
solidnetmoney · · #42082
do you setup your URL like that: stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 or you just use: prohashing.com:3333
AppleMiner · · #42083
i use the stratum
AppleMiner · · #42084
but i think its put in for you auto by the L3 if you omit it
solidnetmoney · · #42085
on the website it says: Point your miner toward prohashing.com:3333
AppleMiner · · #42086
yep
solidnetmoney · · #42087
and dalu told me to simply enter: prohashing.com:3333
solidnetmoney · · #42088
what’s the difference?
