must we do intel cpus?

I am looking for a new thread ripper with your m2 boosters and a 1080ti. or 2

I would get a board with 2x m2 slots.

I would then boost the cpu with one m2 from you
I would then boost the 2 1080tis with the other m2 from you.

Yeah .

 My thoughts would be 1 new thread ripper with a m2/fpga gpu booster and 2 1180ti gpus.

along with a 4tb ssd.

it does.   buysolar's field  sells excess power  during the day.

you want more then they are worth

you are asking about 175  for a 350 coupon

you should drop to  about  .2 eth  which is around 100 usd for a 350 usd coupon.

well that was hours ago   but it was a "lucky" block  well under 100%

would  be nice if it hits again while my lamb ribs are roasting in the oven and my wife and I walk on the beach.

We are just about to drive to the beach for a nice  pre diner walk.

here is the 6ft monoprice  14awg at overstock

here is the 3ft monoprice 14awg at overstock

please get 14awg

but    you will be using a mobo of some sort  to mine.  so having a top of the line cpu would allow  more flexibility.

Right now I am focusing on holding cash and coins more then any other thing.

maybe maybe not

are you usa based?

will you use 120 volts?  you will melt an 18 awg wire

will you use 240 volts? you may not melt  an 18 awg wire

 a 14 awg wire is dead solid zero issues

  with 120 volts  

or with 240 volts.

I never bother with 18 awg wires

and if it was up to me I would shut that link down since I know some will try to run that psu on 120 watts and melt the wire


buy these instead

good company good price

the array that buysolar  owns and I mine on with him is mostly on the ground 400 of the 500 panels are ground based.

and  the array is grid tied.  So the grid transformer  takes in x and the array does 1.5x so a grimy panel does not  mean much.

We can also wipe  down  400 of the 500 with ease.

Now this project uses 7 or 8 panels  with a ground mount  so if you have the  gear in a spot  that gets grimy  it is easy to wipe down  to clean.

The idea behind this it to make a 1000-1500watt power source for a miner off grid  that will run  5 full hours a day.

POP (pay one price)  up front  for decades of power.

right now companies are giving away gear  or close to it.  s9i's  are under 700  with shipping  and $100 dollar coupon.

I have 12 L3+  and 2 s9I coming
We want to set up an L3+ test doghouse  and a s9i test doghouse  and see how it goes.

We are in a power price is king stage of the game.
If you had cheap power  you would not give a shit  that a piece of gear does not earn a lot.
Power is cheap enough that it profits.

In december 2017  we were in a gear is hard to get part of the game  power cost did not mean much of anything.

and l3+  was   5%  on power cost and 95% in your pocket   if you had 8 cent power

it now earns 2.20 a day  and costs 1.34 to run at 8 cent  that is 60% for power and 40% in your pocket

but if you have 8 cent power  it makes 86 cents a day

if you have 4 cent power it makes 2.20 - .67 = 1.53 a day


but all the 20 cent miners  power is 3.36  so it loses a buck a day
all the 15 cent miners power is 2.52  so it loses  32 cents a day

all the 13 cent miners power is 2.18 so it turns a 2 cent profit.

very hard to answer .

 but for me  it is fairly simple I like -ck and want to support him.
To a certain degree i don't care what pool is best.
It is more or less  what pool operator I like and trust the most.
  As for the why of -ck vs kano or slush pretty simple math -ck is better then the 2 of them.

He pays all tx money and charges no fees

That makes him better  then any plns pool.

I would argue pps can be best but it is too complex to explain or calculate.

 It flexes up and down between this pool and some pps pool but I still stay here most of the time.

both f2pool and viabtc do better then -ck some of the time.  But most of the time -ck is better.

no  you miss my point entirely.

my point is very simple since we went from well under 20ph to well over 100ph

the luck sucks.

from  the beginning up to  the expansion  the luck was average. as you point out 106%  is fine  especially since we get block tx rewards and low and now no fees.

I am saying  150%  is not fine.

even with block tx fees and no fees.

it is not complicated  the turning point was picked by me only because we added the hash.

Surely you see that  means not a single thing in any way other then the luck was close to normal  and now it sucks.

It is hard for me to put this into words  as I am only an okay writer. 

But
1)pool got big in may of 2018
2)luck sucks since may of 2018
3)every block we hit is over 100% since may of 2018

there is no meaning or cause implied in that simple  set of 3 facts
that is all true shit not misleading in any way

Life  can do that.

Here is an example  I live in Howell NJ   it is near  New Egypt NJ   30 years  ago  a T-storm  stopped and sat on top of New Egypt NJ  only 20 miles from my town it rain 11 inches in 24 hours and the entire town flooded.  Some people  even in the 1980's  were spooked and thought it was the devils work

If it had been  1750  maybe some one  would have been killed  for being a witch.  Modern times  people said it was a freak T-storm.

So 6 blocks all over 120%  in a row are simply freaky bad luck thats all.  The luck started with  halong moving the miners here merely a coincidence .

Now  what hurts is the pool is now at the mercy of them.  They built the coin level to 10btc  and they could leave  now as I type  move all the gear to f2pool  get pps.
We would mine  here at 10ph and they double dip. If we hit one they get paid from f2pool and from us.

-ck  has a good relationship with them.
I have a good relationship with them.

I don't want them to leave us.
I am hoping for them  to rip a hot streak.
Rather then  the cold streak that we are in.

6 blocks at 963 = 160.5%

lets do 3 quick ones  and we all feel better.

well if you came here and raised yourself to 5n during the 16k to 19.9k time period you are kinda of screwed

if you got to 5n early when coins were at 4-6k you made out.

I like the pool I will mine here for now.
I like -ck he did nice work on the T1 drivers.
I like halong T1 miners.


I would like the halong whale to started kicking some ass and pulling off a hot steak.
At least a few 50% blocks or 75% blocks would be nice.

I have been with the pool since the beginning and aim to stay here.

Well  Jokes can fall flat.
here are the last six blocks


"diff": 195.6 ------------  "height": 521726
"diff": 171.5 ------------  "height": 524676
"diff": 181.4 ------------  "height": 526351
"diff": 127.8 ------------  "height": 526657
"diff": 164.0 ------------  "height": 526993
"diff": 123.2 ------------  "height": 527282

add to 963.5  should be 600

average luck we would have  9 or 10 blocks vs 6 blocks

the 1.5% is not included in my book as we were well under 20ph when we hit it.

I count all the ones from halong adding 50ph /140ph

So basically the  halong burnin has bad luck so far. (Soon to change as I think they will get hot)

Now internet Humor is a tough sell sometimes, I thought your comment was serious.

I am still here with my halong 3 t1's and will be adding an s9i soon.

if we maintain an endless 123%  we will be crushed

this time = quick  means nothing

we can all go to slush  and make blocks fast.

So far  every block  we hit since we expanded has been  over 110%

shares under 100% = quick

shares over 100% = slow

no it is not quick  it is 23% past okay speed

1   36JMs8rogpizjkkp6eeKMmm3SLbSNo5H9V   50.8PH/s   51.6PH/s   50.5PH/s   8265   289,649,696,453   5705566207315   100%   18,808,974,896,773   9.94030074


once that number passes  Bitcoin Difficulty:   4,940,704,885,521  the block is a slow block

we were at 6,000,000,000,000 +   so we were slow.

  the lead miner is at   294,553,225,084    which means  we would be a fast block.

bitminter did it in under a week more like 2 days.

and bitminter lets it mine NMC

he has yet to correct the difficulty so I can't rent at nicehash.

he set it to 250000   not 1000000

if he would only set it to 1000000 I would point 1ph at the pool for a day or 2

now when I do  rental it just drops off.

I will ask him  I am dropping gear off on thurs.

tomorrow is the dentist cracked filling oh well.
