yeah i think he killed psu.

if he killed the psu it will be hard to get one.

as bitmain stopped selling them. or any other gear.

Op are you usa based?

i may have a source for psu.

first listen to mikey

set to low
check all power plugs to psu
make sure you have 210-240 power.

watching 90 day fiancée pillow talk with the wife.

tommorow i will post my rigs.

some stupid with a flare gun burned it to the ground

smoke on the water and fire in the sky.


frank zappa of the mother’s  studio was burned to the ground.

My first concert at long islands nassau coliseum.

1972 I was 15.

Its nice but deals for power like i have are really hard to find.

lots of buying and selling gear as if they are stocks or coins.

it took me more then five years to create steady coin flow.

and it is not like it is a coin a month

it is steady but 100kwatts of which 50 kwatts an hour is my share.

so i have a potential of 1.5 ph with all new gear.

I dont have 1.5 ph I have about .5ph after all costs.

as the gear,is a mix of s9 s15 s17pro.

I try to expand hash rate very deliberately.

and hodl part of the coins.

its a grind but more sure then what you guys do trading.

its why i think more outside the box of candles and walls.

wish i had the time to properly blend the two.

yeah i can them under $ 380

with a coupon or two.

I just got one from best buy

a 4% a 10% a 6% all stacked sales tax was 7%

so about 12% off list of 399 or 364 just came to my house today.

an msi 5700xt mech

i will hook it up in a bit

i will snap some photos

what price would you pay

i see them at 400 usd for a 2060 super

i see amd 5700 xt at about 400 even 379

the amd is doing better then 50mhs and under 150 watts

i don’t have a 2060 super so i have zero idea if it does 50mhs at 150 watts

anybody know?  i googled and found 36 to 42 at 125 watts

so the amd 5700xt look better.

i am looking at it.

unplug it let it sit.

lets play 20 questions.

did you ever use any firmware other then bitmain.

what setting is it on low normal turbo.

is it the s17pro 50th 53th 56th

do not use a different firmware but if you have always had bitmain firmware

which one are you using?

do not upgrade the bitmain firmware just tell which one you have.

Actually there is a very good reason to do what I am doing.

I am looking to encourage firmware development

Kano seems to not want to encourage firmware development

My goal is to help each and every btc miner in the world and it is worth spending 115th of mining gear for months.

Once I finish the theirry4wd testing I would move onto the vnish testing.

With luck a few others would point to the solo pools we would hit a few blocks and end the controversy of blockless aftermarket firmware.

I have more to do here. but that is it for now.

I have unlocked this as we are now experiencing high fees again.

Last 2 weeks 1 btc per block has been common.

Is this means you need to go for pools giving you at least some of that 1 btc.


https://www.blockchain.com/explorer?utm_campaign=dcomnav_explorer

some blocks below made this sunday the 2nd of august.

641927  0.537 in btc
641926  0.442
641925  0.728
641924  1.593
641923  0.617
641922  0.494
641921  0.297
641920  1.265


as you can see some fees are well over 1 btc smallest was .297 btc.

VIABTC.com is a pps+ pool they pay part of the fees

they are at 111% payout average right now due to high fees

https://www.viabtc.com/pool/state


solo.ckpool  pays almost all the tc fees to you
mmpool.org  will give the block winner the entire tx a huge bonus.
kano.is gives out the fees to the miners.


whenever we get to tx fees at 10% +  look for pools giving this out to you.

as to how long these .5btc to 2.0 btc  tx fees will last this time i don't know but pick pools that will share it to you.



I was asked if this applies to other coins.
It does but in each case you need to see how high that coin is charging for fees.

BTC = 112.06% at viabtc
LTC =.  96.16% at viabtc

viabtc starts at 96% many pps+ pools start at that point.

You can see just how high the btc fees are compared to ltc.

So 1.7 million, but the address has spent 9000 plus coins


To me the dec 4 2017  deposit is of interest.

I think I remember what those 12 coins were.

Looking at the wallet from Nov 24 to dec 31 of 2017 is fun

we will work more with the t17e

I have come up with an idea that helps everyone here it is


So if we get the 2 t17e's running I will do like the idea above. Fingers crossed that we get it worked out.

@ biffa a lot is not known about aftermarket firmware

I did see a clear cut piece of evidence that shows at least one block hit with braiins. Plus braiins has some permission to run its firmware as i understand it.

While I have encourage aftermarket firmware development I have been particular about what I use for my 1.7 ph of gear.

I use all bitmain and a tiny bit of braiins.

While I would like to strike a deal about using t17 s17 and all the letters that go with that  I have not.

If and when I acquire working aftermarket gear for the above it will mine directly to a solo pool.

with the address published and no funds to be taken in and out of it if it indeed hits a block.

I only have access to one solo pool  that is solo.ckpool.

My hope would be to use 2 t17e miners with 1 pointed to solo.ckpool and one pointed to solo.kano.is pool.

If they hit a block I would give ⅓ to kano ⅓ to ck and ⅓ to me.

I really want the war to end { no sarcasm} so  I am working with thierry4wd.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1656984

I can't think of a better idea than this .

But if it were to  work and mine to the two solo pools that would be good.
if it were to hit a block that would be better.

risk to ck = zero
risk to kano = zero

risk to me I lose 115th of mining earnings for months to come.

benefits to ck ⅓ of a block possible.
benefits to kano ⅓ of a block possible
benefits to me ⅓ of a block possible oh  I look like someone trying to help everybody
benefits to thierry4wd proof his firmware works and can hit blocks

benefits to mining community working software/firmware that helps with bitmain 17 gear.

Now here is my exact point.  Btc got to 12134 and dropped to 11920 weak hands sold at 12+

in olden days. I would have been weak.

instead I smiled at 12134

then looked at my doge which is up today and simply smiled again.


btw doge was a the leading indication of this run as it had a strong rise back in ealry july.

that prompted me to buy some btc miners on ebay using 24 months no interest

I get to trade paypal credit for steady cheaply purchased coins.

i pay 50-50 coins so

I am buying btc from these miners at 11900/2 or 5950 a btc.  add in the monthly payment of 35 a month.

As I rarely trade I look at it from outside the box of charts teacups spoons 🥄 etc.

as I am buying coins at 1/2 price

I don’t look in this section much.

As I end up fighting kano

I don’t want to fight him.

So I end up leaving this area alone.

Being called a criminal and threatened as a possible lawsuit when and if btc becomes 100k will do that.

Other then one point the video is great.

I read 1.4 or 1.5 amps at 209 or 210 watts.

which is around 50 to 55 watts.

my point is amps and volts on a meter can be off by 10%

in fact a meter can be adjusted or calibrated so the only thing in question is if the meter is accurate.

since I don’t have the ability to use my meter i’m simply not sure of the meter’s accuracy.

If he has an s9 doing under sixty watts he has a beast of an idea.

I would be willing to try his mod out to see if i can get good numbers like he did.

As i read the article I thought that it was copied or lifted.

My guess is the forum member is the poster from medium and that it is merely their own work.
Just as you point out.
@op please understand that the forum is USA based and is subject to copy-write rules.

So when posting copies from an other website  even when it is you own work it asks that you make note of it.

Btw pretty well written info I liked it.

my two braiins units point to solo.ckpool.

both are two board or about 8+8 = 16 th use around 1250 watts.

No think 13.0. always better to fudge in less profit.

Then if they average 13.8. you think the  .8 is a bonus.


Also 20c is a ambient temp 40c is not.

So they run better in 40-60f temps. then 90-100f temps

I would think you get 13.8 to 14 in the cooler weather.

and 13.1 to 13.6 in the hotter weather.

oh they run a little higher hash with four chains of four

then with four chains of five.

Hell having that coin lets me hodl all my btc.

I tell my self it has a huge upside. as it has only 500 million marketcap.

I only need  four or five billionaires to jack it up ten or twenty fold.  Like the Hunt bros did with silver when i was in the Navy. those shit coins allow me to stay relaxed about my btc.

hodl btc.

yeah i have three of them. i wish i had a few more.

yeah we will see how that goes.
