I run 10 of these 24x24 washable filters:

I build this extension to house them:





That's a 10,000 CFM intake fan and there is also another 10k exhaust fan.

Turns out one of the cards had gone bad during the night (one of 3 EVGA 1070 SC 5173-KR's) and once identified pulled, all the other cards were properly recognized again.

Never seen a card go bad in a rig manifest itself in that way before.  Learn something new everyday I suppose.

So I have about a dozen rigs running HIVE.  This morning one of them was no longer hashing.  This particular rig had 7x 1070 in it, a mix of EVGA 1070 SC's, a couple of FE's and a Zotac mini.  So I rebooted it and when it came back up, it still would not mine (running DSTM).

So I took a closer look and for some reason HIVE thought all the cards has transformed into P104's overnight:



As you can see from the above, they are not quite "there" as the power limits are not showing up.

Compare that to one of my other 1070 rigs that properly detects the 1070's as 1070's and not GP104's:



I tried a cold boot, still doing it.  Then I unplugged it for 10 minutes and when I started it back up, it continued to do the same thing.

Any idea what happened?  Not that I think it matters, but this rig has a Octominer mobo in it.

I'm at 128 panels, and plan to add another 24, which will max out my current solar breaker panel.  After that, I'll likely switch from micro inverters to larger 10KW inverters and run DC from the arrays back to where the inverters are located.  This makes sense since additional arrays past the initial 152, are going to have to be located further away from my shop where all the miners live.  High voltage DC power = much less power loss than 240VAC.


Your username suits you. That's a pretty large solar farm as it is. I'm wondering how you handle the excess power generated and if you're selling excess energy back to the grid (incase your miners shutoff and stop consuming power).

Have you ever considered venturing into a pure solar mining farm and selling electricity to the grid for profits?

I have a net metering arrangement with my power company.  So when I generate more than I consume, the POCO "banks" those kWh for me to use when I use more than I produce (i.e. nights and cloudy days).  So in essence I'm selling excess power back to them at the same rate they charge me.

I have not yet looked into a business arrangement with the POCO to sell back electricity to the grid (beyond my current net metering arrangement).  If I was to invest, I'd rather buy more rigs.  I just don't anticipate getting to the point where my solar production is ever going to catch up with the amount of power my rigs consume over a 24 hour period.  Maybe 2 or 3 Nvidia generations down the road I'll get there.

I was thinking of putting in drywall in my garage to help with dust from the concrete walls , how does drywall help with cooling ?

By enclosing the side walls and ceiling of my "room within a room", I force all 10,000 CFM of air out through the mining rigs instead of escaping out the sides and top where there is less resistance.  I also plan to do a better job sealing the openings on the shelving unit itself, again to do everything I can to force all the air to move through the GPUs.  You will notice on one of the pics I have an online duct fan blowing across my 8x1060 EVGA rig with a Colorful mining mobo with real close spacing.  Right now, that 10,000 CFM intake fan is not able to move air at a high enough velocity through it to keep the 1060's cool.  I'm hoping by sealing all other openings, I'll bring the velocity up to where I don't need any "booster" fans.  Also, be sealing everything, I'm hoping I'll only need to run the intake and exhaust fans at like 50% speed most of the time.  Both 10K fans are connected to a single VFD so that I can run the fans any any speed I want.  Getting a computer interface for it so that I can automate the speed at which the fans run.  At full blast they consume 900 watts.  But running them at 40Hz, they only use 400 watts.  So running them faster than I need to waste a lot of power.

glad i kept most of my gear on raven, seeing a nice pump

I have a sneaking feeling raven hit a dollar by year end , that would change my life lol

I heard thier github repository has 15k commits and 400 developers, add in the fact they are

commited to fighting asics and have a great white paper I think its a great speculative asset atm
 still holding 5200 of them

I have around 10k , wish i handnt sold so much , im mining a few 500 a day and holding hard now

Great news.  I mined RVN pretty much exclusively last month and have a little over 100k sitting in my local wallet.  I'll keep hodl'ing through the summer I think, to see where it goes.

I got all my rigs on ZEN now and plan to setup a secure node by the time the 20% reward kicks in and then possibly keep going and switch to a super node if I ever get to a 500 coin stake.  IF RVN really blows up, maybe I'll consider selling it for ZEN to get my super node going sooner rather than later.

On the solar, I have a 35 kWh system, and generated 3,500 kWh last month as the sun finally decided to come out here in Virginia.  As you can see from the below graph, having a month or two with lots of cloudy days make a huge impact:



And here's a power graph from yesterday:



I need to get out there to rinse the pollen off the panels as that does reduce the output quite a bit.  I also have several micro inverters I need to replace.  And the heat (it hit 90 yesterday), doesn't help.  Solar panels like it nice and cool (but sunny).

But despite generating 3,500 kWh in April, my power bill is still trending in the wrong direction.  The days of not having a power bill (prior to August of last year when I started mining) are long gone.  Sad



I'm at 128 panels, and plan to add another 24, which will max out my current 200A solar breaker panel.  After that, I'll likely switch from micro inverters to larger 10KW inverters and run DC from the arrays back to where the inverters are located.  This makes sense since additional arrays past the initial 152, are going to have to be located further away from my shop where all the miners live.  High voltage DC power = much less power loss than 240VAC.

Making decent progress on the "mining room" I'm building inside my shop building.  I got a 96" wide by 84" tall wide span ULINE shelving unit with 6 shelves.  That guy is able to hold all my GPU rigs and ASICs with room to spare.



I'm feeding it via 4x 30A circuits that in turn feed HP 24A PDU's that have 12A PDU's connected to them.  The 24A PDUs are a steal at around $25 and the 12A PDU's run about $30 for a pair.  Fortunately the breaker panel is close by, so the #10 runs are pretty short:



I built the walls and ceiling and put some cardboard up temporarily to force the air through the rack.  I hope to get some drywall up this afternoon.  So cold air is pulled in from the outside, forced through the rack, and then extracted from the gable vent.



The side walls are 96" wide, just like the shelving unit.  So once I run out of room on the shelf, I'll replace the walls with additional shelves except for an access hole for inside maintenance.

Yes, try --api-remote and/or --api-allow=  ( simple 0/0 )

Thanks.  Adding --api-allow = 0/0 did the trick.
190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Zealot/Enemy (z-enemy) NVIDIA GPU miner. on: April 25, 2018, 12:55:55 AM
I'm running HIVE OS and upgraded my first 3 rigs to HIVE OS 0.5-47, which includes z-enemy 1.08.  Those rigs are no longer reachable from Awesome Miner.

My HIVE OS still starts the miner with api-bind: 0.0.0.0:4068, but there's nobody home when Awesome Miner tries to connect.

I was running ccminer-enemy 1.0.5 before under HIVE OS with no API issues.

What gives?  Does z-enemy 1.08 not support api?
191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [DEVICE] SimpleRigResetter - Auto reboot freezed rigs - AVAILABLE NOW !!! on: April 22, 2018, 12:05:31 PM
I downloaded the new tool, but it won't connect to my SRR2 since it does not have the latest firmware installed.  And the link to download the latest firmware is temporarily disabled.

So I guess I'll just have to wait until it is released before I can use the new tool?
192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Happy New Years! Seventh alt coin thread! on: April 19, 2018, 10:59:58 PM
Have you ever thought about doing a water air filter? someone mentioned to me previously that larger data centers in dusty areas like in deserts use them to filter the air coming in, basically you use a chambered box so the air routes under a surface and you have basically irrigation misters spraying water across the entire opening and running back down into a water reserve. The misting water catches the dirt particles and keeps the air coming in pretty much as clean as the best air filter without the restriction of a media for the air to cross through..

That's a neat idea.  If keeping these re-washable filters clean turns out to be a huge pain, I'll definitely look into it.
193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Can I operate rig on generator's power? on: April 19, 2018, 11:27:56 AM
It very much depends on the generator.  I have run 15 rigs (about 20,000 watts between them which included 3 Antminer S9's) for 3 days straight during a major outage after a storm.

This was a very efficient 1,800 rpm turbo charged Kubota 30kw diesel generator and there were no issues.  My earnings were higher than the fuel cost, so it was worth it to me.  Besides, it kept the rest of my house running.

Would I do it with one of those big box store 3,600 rpm gas generators?  No way!
194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Happy New Years! Seventh alt coin thread! on: April 18, 2018, 01:03:15 AM
Porn, eh?

I got some for you'all.  POCO came out today and swapped out my 25 KVA transformer for a 50 KVA one as I'm was starting to push the limit on what I had.

So here's the new 50 KVA fat boy:



Bucket truck getting ready to kill the 14.4 KVolt line with his stick:



And the 25 KVA is down:



Up goes the 50 KVA:



All done:



Meanwhile, I got a 10,000 CFM exhaust fan installed in the shop building up high in the gable:



View from "outside" (the pole barn portion):



And here's the matching intake fan:



There will be 10 24x24 washable filters installed to filter the incoming air.  Now that the fan is installed, I can complete the "lattice" that will hold them.  Everything will be sealed to ensure all incoming air is filtered:



The 2 fans both have 3 phase motors and will be controlled by this VFD so that I can run them at no more than what is needed to keep all the GPU's at 70 C or less.



That all the porn I got for you guys tonight.  Cheesy

I can pick up a G4400 on eBay for $40 shipped, so I can't see paying more than that for one.  Also, on the 120GB mSATA SSD, that price is pretty high.  I can pick up Crucial 120GB mSATA's for $39 shipped on eBay.  The Spotswood frames are nice (I used to have one in one of my server chassis), but I'm actually making my own aluminum frames these days, so I don't need that either.

Also, I just realized that your Onda's are the version 1.0 ones, not the newer 2.0 ones that eliminates those 4-pin Molex and SATA power connectors so that you can use server PSUs.  So given that, I think I'll pass.  I wish you good luck with your sale!

I'll take the 3 Onda mobo's, the 4400 and 8gb ddr4.  Would you considder $550 for those 5 items?

Can do escrow with Phil (I have purchased a bunch of GPUs and other hardware from him over the last several months).

I'm in central Virginia, so pretty close to you.
