They must not like me then, i pm'ed back and forth about half a dozen time now and never got my missing payouts. I just stopped caring so much.
Well you can always open a scam accusation  Seriously though, payment issues in Bit-x seems like something that comes with the signature campaign package, if it had been another campaign, people would freak out and start pressuring the campaign manager. Well, i dont know i've been here for months and its always been like that. But at the same time, overall, its still pretty nice. |

Well wouldn't come as a surprise, but my payment was delayed again
Yeah. Its late by about a day for me atm. Same here. We're all paid at the same time anyway no? Well, last was perfectly on time you can't get a perfect every week ^^ It was but it was short 10-15% or so. Or maybe that was the other 2 before. Not sure anymore. But i guess its fine. Yeah, they always make the payment in the end. They must not like me then, i pm'ed back and forth about half a dozen time now and never got my missing payouts. I just stopped caring so much. |

I actually looked into this before because I was in the same situation as you but these parts are expensive like $200-$300, and Winter will end in about 2 months.
I dont really mind the winter thing, i'm not going to stop mining during summer, but i will have to setup some solid air flow this year because i have more stuff than last summer. And thats indeed too expensive but i seen some 30A PDU go for dirt cheap, maybe i could just change the plug or something? If not maybe there is some 40-50A solution we overlooked, which would be worth it for a while, because i'm thinking of slapping one big breaker for the server room in my next appartment. That way i'd have less cabling needed and if i already have a 50a PDU then i just need to install a 50a breaker with the 50a plug? |

A 30a pdu will come with an L6-30P, you need a L6-30R to plug into. Then you need a c13 to c14 cable for every psu you plug into the pdu. You can easily make an adapter that has the right male plug for your existing stove plug, and the L6-30R female receptacle for the pdu.
The available plug is NEMA 14-50r. Any chance i can get a 40-50A PDU that would be i guess NEMA 14-50p ? |

I have a few Seasonic 1250w with at least 1 burnt connector each that I haven't gotten around to RMAing yet. Might have a few other high end supplies also.
Burnt connectors are very easy to repair, just buy the Pins and a new PCIe connector and a crimp tool and you can fix them yourself. I know, I'm just lazy. Really, I'd just have to call Seasonic and get them replaced for the cost of shipping them back to Seasonic. I'm guessing the burn connector is inside the modular PSU side, so not easily replaceable? If its just a cable's end PCI-e, its def not something that would make me sell the PSU for cheap like OP is hoping. Cost like 30 cents to fix a pci-e connector. |

Deleted previous bump. This time i added a bulk price for all 4. 2.3BTC
Priced lowered to 2.1 BTC for all, shipped. Priced to sell this weekend. Reply or PM. Cheers.  Saturday Bump. PM me if you're interested in some S5's. Last Bump. I get nobody wants to buy anything because of the big bad difficulty, but i figured i'd try one last bump. Cheers. Yeah, terrible time for sellers with old gear. I'd only risk half of what your asking to buy them with difficulty going the way it is.  Yeah, at which point that would be ROI in less than 2 months and thus not something i would ever do, since i have limited but free electricity. ROI is still good. But if i need to offline them, i will considering selling them 25% cheaper since miners not being run is where you really lose money. But nobody even offered me lowballs (beside your indirect one just now). Maybe i should just buy a 30/40A 240V PDU and use my oven's plug to run them for now, since my limit is the low Amp cap on my panel. Yeah, that's probably want I'd do. Pick up a pdu and run them into the ground. Hurts to much to sell them so low. (at least for me) Mhm. Well time is running out, so i might really just do that instead. I'm not sure what to buy. Does a PDU already come with the proper plug to connect into the oven 240v 40a plug? And what/where could i buy it to get it sometime this week? Maybe something i could post in the mining support section if you dont know. Then like you told me, i can use the EVGAs on it, but then i would need 240v power cords i suppose? |

Deal closed, i got all i need for now, so i will lock. If you see this and have a spare LGA1150 + 4gb+ ram for sale, still PM me if you can beat 30-40$ shipped, maybe i'd grab some spare hardware. |

I'm not new at all, i remember you posting here repeatedly every days when we had a bad streak where after a pool hiccup/restart, we would find a block. (My first block was the 666.66666% block)
It was rougher back then because we had only 1.X PH/s. We would find a block within low %CDF after a restart and you would start telling people that since it happened after a restart, it (restarting the pool) actually did something.
I told you then it didnt make sense then and i'll tell you again; It doesnt change anything whatsoever. No valid block found share were loss, Kano can track that. Dropping your miner's connection and reconnecting to the pool does not increase the probability that the miner will find a share with a difficulty high enough to be a valid block.
But i usually just smile when you do, because i think its cute, make me smile and who knows, maybe lady luck will smile unto you also.
SO you agree AFTER a pool restart we would usually find a block. I don't care about explanations to the contrary, if it happens, it happens. Simple as that. Why bother trying to argue against the fact then? On another note, why argue against faith? Would you rather everyone would just shut up and expect to not find any blocks? Not to even try to make an effort to think of anything crazy and out of this world, to make things better?  You sir. are sad , sad... Sometimes it's nice to just say something and be the comic relief but not so nice to get put down from someone who rather stick their head in the sand due to statistics and not having the vision to look past the straight and narrow.. *SMH* LOL Not starting a faith debate here, sorry. And because the statistical chance of finding a block within 100% diff after a restart is the same for every 100% diff increment, and if i'm not wrong, that means 50% chance. So thats pretty damn likely that you will find a block after a restart, because its pretty common that you will find a block within that timeframe already. And i'm not trying to shoot you down, ask for pool restart all you want. Tho this is going off on a tangent so i'll drop this topic for now. |

Is that so? You say 7.xx seconds but the farm refresh is actually truly every 0.2 seconds, you can see this on the screenshot. The 7.XX seconds is not the farm refresh, its the round running time. You can see on the screenshot, that (and not that i mind it) but you're just bashing for the sake of bashing, since on the right, if pay attention, you will see the .2 seconds steps.
7.107 s
7.31 s
7.522 s
Looks pretty damn close to 0.2 to me.
And i get some slowdowns when writing DAG only.
So if you want to pay 200$ for a CPU, thats you, but i dont have any problem with the 40$ CPU, especially since on the permanent setup, they will all be running on custom linux distro.
LOL fine. I'm done trying to help ya. Good luck with your crap bud.. PS. you're a little confused over there yourself with pretty much everything you just said. LOL. Dont be salty, the screenshot clearly show 5 refresh per second. I'm pretty sure that means the farm refresh 200 is working fine. If i'm misunderstanding, and you don't mind cutting the insults from your posts, feel free to explain. If not i'll be glad to continue using my crappy poor setup and let you be on your merry way out of my thread.  |

No offense, but benchmarks and comparing them on paper is useless. I'm talking real life. Being in the business I pretty much get to play with any type of computer gear on the market or coming out. Even the lowly G3258 (which is actually an amazingly overclockable CPU matching an i5 almost) will run circles around a celeron based system of the same specs. Loading even basic IE, chrome, MS Office software, forget gaming or anything intensive even. I never recommend celerons to any customers even if they are cheap as heck. You get what you pay for. Now if we were to compare an I5 vs an I7 based system, yes, there would be little difference. Between a celeron and an i5 as you mention is crazy to even compare.
I'm not sure why you're assuming i'm not. I have a i3 too, and i get 10% cpu usage. I get 0.2x refresh rate actual seconds on it. Just as i do on the Celeron.
If you have your farm refresh set at 200 but it still pulls 7.xx seconds, something is wrong. Does your window ever refresh/write the text slowly with a slight delay? That's a sign of CPU under-performance right there. You can make up for it with more RAM and fast SSD, but eventually it slows things down still.
On my rigs I have them set at 200 also, local network mining is under 0.25seconds and pool mining is under 0.45seconds.
I over spec my rigs, yes (all running on AMD FX-6 core, or intel I5 cpu's, but they are fast as all heck.

Too long ago. Should be every 5 hours to make sure we keep under 100%.. (at least try to be).  Considering restarting the frontend doesnt really touch any miners in the first place, i'm not sure how it could actually change anything?  Hence I said 'pool' not front end. You're too new to remember the times that after almost every restart we got a block in the past.. First it was restarts, then chicken, now it's the non believers saying nonsense.. Bah... I'm not new at all, i remember you posting here repeatedly every days when we had a bad streak where after a pool hiccup/restart, we would find a block.

Huh well they're low end but high end CPU's arent even twice as fast. Like right now its running w10 with 5 gpu + RDP remote view + monitoring + proxy at 11~13% cpu usage~ https://i.imgur.com/RImFL2t.png?1Actually you'd be surprised. Even a G3258 is more than a couple of times faster in everything than a celeron. Celerons get bogged down once you have disk access and cpu utilization together. Forget actual number crunching. Glad it's working for you though. Surprised, but cool beans. You might ant to change your farm-refresh times on your mining rig though. Looks like it's pulling new work every 7.xx seconds. Your chances of losing a block-find race are about 15x more than a local solo pool which runs at under 0.5seconds.. Just fyi. I'm using 200, do you have a recommendation? And http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G3258-vs-Intel-Celeron-G1820I dont think 10% more processing resources would matter much when the cpu is at 12% load. A high end i5 doesnt even have twice the per core performance. Though it does have twice as many cores. |

I wouldn't touch a celeron with a 10 foot pole. Slow POS. I guess it'd be ok with linux/ubuntu, but forget windows.
I never said anything about returning a CPU.
Thats what i run my rigs on atm. And i use W10 to bypass the W7 issues with limited GPU#. And I'm sorry i confused you and adaseb's posts. You run windows 10 as a GPU mining rig with a celeron!? When I tested 2-4-6 core cpu usage (windows 8.1 though) it had very high CPU usage unless it was 4 or 6 cores on ETH at least. Maybe other cryptos are more forgiving. Just as a systems builder / reseller, I rather spend a few $$ extra and get something that runs better than the bottom of the barrel I guess. For normal windows use, celerons are utter sheyt.

They need to make sure that transaction is accepted with at least 3 to 6 confirmations... That's a long time of 30 to 60 minutes. Can the customers wait that long?
Alot of people accept transactions with zero deposits, also, if they run their own local node, it will be safe to accept confirmations without deposits If its a small transaction, like getting a coffee, its fine, but if its something expensive, there shouldnt really be that much of a big deal either way. Its not like you need to walk out with your new car right this second, you need to fill papers anyways. Also sellers can deal with a payment processor instead of accept BTC directly to their pocket, which does the job of checking for double spend risk and that is also covered for fraud. |
