Thinking of trying this OS vs Eth OS , my main question is do they have drivers now on Linux for the Blockchain fix ?

otherwise there is really no point to using this with claymore since you get a way lower hash-rate withoute the blockchaindrivers

Main prob with master nodes mining is u need a ton of coins, Dash i think is 1000? and eth
pos will be more I bet.  Only the ppl who got in stupid esrly can do this

I think the cryptoworld attracts a lot of mean people. There's a higher chance of bumping in the scammers than in normal life. I've been burnt a few times on ebay too, but mostly it goes well, unless you're selling miners.

fuck ebay paypal , they banned my paypal account for the fact they claimed i was selling digital currency which they claim is
against thier TOS. but you can sell from coinbase direct to paypal? the fuck?

The real reason I was banned is one of of every 10 sellers attemted chargebacks on me , fucking croocks they. recive the bitcoin then open a dispute a few weeks later claiming they were hacked etc, happend a few times too with ebays sales

its not worth the hassle to sell gear anymore or btc just keep it
1904  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Below Freezing Point Temperature For Miners..What Would Happen? on: October 04, 2017, 07:20:12 AM
Great news. Yes I am putting 30 Antminers in a shipping container, sometimes it will have complete loss of power, so I have been very worried about possible thermal cycling killing the units.

Cheers Smiley

30 Antminers? Nice Smiley

Won't 30 units heat that container?

What is average temperature inside and outside container?

p.s.Loss of power sucks... how do you solve it with that container?

Yes they will heat the container when running, that's not the problem. When it shuts down the temp can be as cold as -40 deg C (live in Canada). I am just crossing my fingers that the S9's circuitry can survive that temp...
What about summer ? winter mining is trivial , its spring and summer than separates the men from the boys
1905  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Any yearly profit calculator similar to whattomine ? on: October 04, 2017, 06:48:36 AM
We have variance of ~20% on the daily run, every yearly estimation can only be completely wrong and useless, IMHO.

lol no shit its hard to calulate monthy profits and u are trying to project for a year?
you know what difficulty and price fluxtuations are?

heck week to week there is varince let alone yearly lol

best thing you do is lookat your expenses and costs to mine, power, parts gear etc

and project how much you need to make to ROI its useless to using a mining calculator to project
mining earings correctly, I guess you can take daily predictions and multiply by 365 but I will most

definitely be wrong
1906  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Don't focus on GPU panic. Focus on efficiency. on: October 04, 2017, 06:45:23 AM
just cannot agree more on the PSU part...
after i got two PSUs melt down...luckily the rigs are still fine, but only the PSUs... just because that I chose to buy the 150 bucks 1500w PSUs instead of EVGA which is 350 buck plus...
but my takeaways are I just wasted 300 bucks for the burned PSUs and two weeks mining time...
...
also, one more thing, do not run the PSU over 80% capacity, and my another lesson... Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad

I keep telling ppl not to buy those. cheap psu, either buy the server grade psu with breakout boards
or high quality japanese solid state cap
atx like evga, corsair etc 
1907  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU Mining - We will never die! on: October 04, 2017, 05:33:16 AM
Don't forget even a 2 year ROI is amazing in the world of investment. People on wall street lose their minds over on that sweet 5% , uncorrelated with market annual returns.


If GPU mining maintains a "terrible" 2 year ROI for another 10 years, we'll still be rich  Smiley

This , the days are 2 month ROI are over but im quite comfotable with a 6 month to 1 year ROI or longer on my gear as long at electricity is under control

sorry about the mess lol


right corner of room ,from door


rafters from same perspetive


other side


left side with the three fans


box to hold power switches to door and underneath it we will put the three sensors for each side
so its two boxes like this all off one 20amp breaker split two ways, six switches





two wires one for each side 12-3 AWG


The handy man did not want to work in the heat, and I did not want to turn off my rigs lol , so as a compromise we hooked up one of the fans
to an extension cord and within 2-3 hours it went from execisvely hot to a balmy 70 degrees, I checked again this morning 66 degrees , but I'll get a better thermostat tmw


his phone rings non stop lol
1912  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Good Network Switch? on: October 03, 2017, 08:00:59 AM
Unifi is the best price/quality in the market.

Currently running a Ubiquiti edgerouter, POE switch, managed switch, and 3 wifi AP's. They all just work.

 Oh, Ubiquiti

 That's another story - they aim at Cisco for their competition, not any "lesser" brands.
 I think they used to consider their only "peers" to be Cisco, Northern Telecom, and PERHAPS 3Com at the bottom end of their range.



Thier management tools are so awseome, you can see and control the switches wireless routers all from the same UI

Im buying another 24 port Ubiquti switch next week
1913  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Zcash (ZEC) price keeps falling, whats your opinions? on: October 03, 2017, 06:34:15 AM
all the profitably mined currencies are under pressure from a staggeringly high number of people that have gotten into mining during the course of 2017. For ETH, ZEC and some dual pairs, it looks like there are currently more miners than investors. So whenever there is a noticeable rally, these coins get smashed massively by the miners rushing in to cash their inventories...

That's why it's not a very positive outlook for ZCASH when it can barely hold at 400 USD for a couple of minutes only to get pummeled back 100+ USD...  

Not enough buyers of ZCASH market cap is too low
1914  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Sixth alt coin thread I forgot to mod last thread. on: October 03, 2017, 05:16:29 AM

These fans have humidistat and temp control, we are going to run the controlls for every fan down to where the switches for powering on and off each fan are so it is easier to access


 Definitely screw them into the boards they're being mounted to.

 Also, the humidity and temp SENSORS are in those boxes with the controls, are you sure you want to move them away from where the fans are at?
 Kind of a tradeoff if you do or if you don't, depending on where you DO mount them - right at the intake area for your miner shelves should work well.

 Gonna need more conduit though if you do move them, for core requirements - or some way to "hide" the wiring in the wall(s).

 A single 2x4 in the middle of the hole isn't going to affect airflow noticeably, shouldn't be an issue.
 Might have made sense to put a centering hole in from underneath FIRST though to avoid that.

Ok thanks I though I should screw them down. 

I will also tar them as suggested in this thread

Ugh I worried about the fact that the sensors are close to the fans for a reason, the problem is I would never be able to reach them if they were up in the rafters : garage roof is at least 15-20 feet high from the inside
I plan to mount  them right against the wall at the same level of the miners.

Yeah it was an oversight on our part , for now with the fan that is on , it does not seem to be and issue thank god

screws from the bottom seems a good idea but it will be hard to get up there because there are a ton of rafters up to criss crossed
I  guess we could but why is it different from screws from the roof side ?

No - screws down through the flange into the plywood from above.  That DAP roof sealant is good stuff, but it's meant to keep water out, not to really hold something in place. Depending on how wide the flange is you may end up putting some roofing nails through it anyways when you lay down the felt paper (ice paper) and shingles, but a few nails or flat head screws into it to hold it in place would be more then worth it.

Usually when someone says tar in reference to a roof it's what you would find as "roof cement" at your hardware store. It's good stuff and every house should have a bucket of it on hand for patching shingles, flashing, gutters, etc...

http://homeguides.sfgate.com/use-roof-cement-28831.html



I see thanks for the tips.

I though the same thing about the DAP stuff , no where on it does it say it is like a glue.  SO i still need to find some caulk or glue to keep the ventilator in place, could I just use the roof tar to glue down the vent AND the shingles ? after I put them on top of the ice paper ?

Or do you recommend another glue or caulk to hold the vent down before nails then ice paper ?

thanks again

I have 1 vent like that  I used 4 screws

I put down this under it

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Nashua-Tape-6-in-x-50-ft-Select-Window-and-Door-Flashing-Tape-1343003/206495170

then a thin layer of tar
then the vent with 4 screws
then the roll of flashing tape
then tar
then singles

it is more then 18 years old

3 hurricanes
winds gusted up to 95 in one of them

does not leak

I did have to replace the motor after 2 years the replacement  moter is  like 15-16 years old.

700 is a good price for his labor


do not worry about intake  my guess is  the garage  is not air tight and enough air will get in.

you kind of want a low intake  with a air filter on it

i will show an idea later

Thanks @philipma1957 I will grab the flashing paper and the tar and 24 screws later today , the installer gets off work at 4pm and will head here directly so I will be ready
I already ordered the low gravity intake  , but I can return it if your Idea is better, I figured I could put a filter on the gravity intake after its installed

my issue with the gravity intake is simple will you add duct work in the garage so the air goes really low to the ground?   if you do that  it will work well.

  gravity intake with an attached duct to the floor    >>>>> miners  >>>>>>> roof fans


the above will pull  air  from roof down a flex duct past a filter at the miners up to the roof


so how big is the gravity intake ?

here is a 20 inch flex duct

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Flow-20-in-x-25-ft-Insulated-Flexible-Duct-R8-Silver-Jacket-F8IFD20X300/302001685?


and a 16 inch flex duct
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Speedi-Products-16-in-x-12-ft-Insulated-Flexible-Duct-with-Metalized-Jacket-R8-FD-12R8-16/203393287?

attach the flex duct here


two intakes


The gravity intake I ordered is 19 inches ,vs the 26 inch one that is way to big for my roof.  So i need a matching size flex duct I see.

I see that makes a ton of sense attaching the flexible ducts to bring the outside air close to the ground, on the placement of the gravity vents ? Why so close to the edge of the roof ? I was going to put then in line with the exhuast fans just along the same end of the roof
as your diagram

Thanks allot for the tips

btw we turned on just two of the fans today and I kid you not it was AMAZING , the temps on my GPUS went down from 90 degrees and 100% fan to as low as 68 degrees 45% fan for most cards !
some cards are at 74% still but fan speeds can now be set to auto instead of the fixed 80% fan i was using.

room tempreature is basically equal with outside now around 75degress compared to low 100s

Another thing I notice is there is no more heat transfer to the metal racks, before i would nearly burn my hands on the racks sometimes they were so hot, not they are cool to touch.

My 4k PSUs also were very hot and needed powerful fans or they would shut down, now I can even turn off the fans and they are cool to the touch, I might try my hand at dual mining again when all the fans are running to see what temps look like.

All this is cooling around 100 GPUs with basically one 1500CFM exhaust fan , no gravity intake yet in a poorly insulated garage , these fans are amazing.  I say one fan because the other one still has a tarp over it, we did not finishing replacing
the shingles on the other two before it started to rain and rain was getting in the garage so we tarped it up till tomorrow.

One finaly thing these Dayton fans are high quality, super quiet , you cant hear them, I actually wonder if they are running at all or at full speed , I guess I'll play with them more when we bring down the controls.

I worked as a roofer for 3 years and in general contracting for a number of years after that. I would recommend screwing the roof vents (through the bottom flange) right into the plywood below the shingles --- use lots of roof sealant too of course ( I assume by Glue you meant that and not something like liquid nails?). https://www.grainger.com/product/5UFP4?cm_mmc=PPC:+Google+PLA&s_kwcid=AL!2966!3!50916684477!!!!91281356757!&ef_id=WYugCgAAA45Grdjt:20171001233511:s&kwid=productads-adid^50916684477-device^c-plaid^91281356757-sku^5UFP4-adType^PLA

1920  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Sixth alt coin thread I forgot to mod last thread. on: October 02, 2017, 01:10:43 AM
you better tar top and side of vent, rafter are 3 foot from out side if you have a 12 inch overhang been a carpenter far 31 years

Tar ? you have any recomendations for that ? all we got is glue , I dont think the garage roof was originally tarred





and what we call icepaper here since we are in a cold climate it prevents moisture and frost on the week
but this will go on top of the metal



screws from the bottom seems a good idea but it will be hard to get up there because there are a ton of rafters up to criss crossed
