If you can be bothered, have look at mine.
Mostly, helping people who are new to mining and new help tweaking their rigs and OS and settings.
Cheers!

this is nice, the frame looks like a "Spotswood" , i find myself wondering if thats where the inspiration was drawn from  @Phil, you said you tested it with your longest 1080ti, how about WIDEST? i didnt see reference to if this would fit say maybe x16 1080ti AMP! extremes, or if maybe dual-slotx16 is max width? or even less? thanks for the thread, loving it! Please I deleted your post. I have not tested it since It arrives in 3 days. The frame should use the same aluminum that my waterblock Spotswood uses . |

Can you apply all of the coupons to a single order?
Haven't tried but their email states you can't. Why do they give out so many then? They want people to split their orders up into a million smaller ones? they prefer you give them out to new people more then anything else. I now have more then enough 100 dollar ones. I think I could use 1 or 2 more 200 dollar ones. |

The key for DragonMint is to price a tiny bit high and not do a price war. Bitmain has more then 20,000 btc in 1 single address that is 200,000,000 usd DragonMint simply can not win a price war with a 16th 1200 watt miner. As bitmain could sell s-9's for a profit at 800 usd. They got into a price war with Spondollies sp20 and dropped the s-5 down to 350 usd plus shipping . So if they had to they could sell s-9's at well under 800. An 800 dollar s-9 looks better then a 2000 dollar dragonmint to anyone with low power cost. If Dragonmint prices at 2300 it will still be a bit high. https://halongmining.com/shop/dragonmint-16t-miner/it sold out at DragonMint 16T Miner $2,729.00 Or will they just come back and release it at 2000. Remember it was offered at 1400 or so back around black Friday. To me an s-9 for 1815 (with a coupon) in March vs a dragonmint for 2729 in May the choice = easy |

Do you still need a some Phil??
Let check what I got. Thanks |

I think anyone buying these right now are catching knives. Bitmain has a 10nm miner coming. They are liquidating their old stock, I'm pretty sure its not only me who knows this. But since no one wants to say it. I will, please don't ask for proof or anything, I could be talking out my ass, but honestly, you guys already know.
It is all about your power cost. I can handle a few s-9's or t-9's based on the idea of buy and hold. Also if I was to get a 200 dollar coupon for the t-9 it would be about 100 usd a th that is decent as I have 'free' power in the solar array. |

First off I wonder if anyone has some 200 dollar coupons
my bitmain id is:
philipma1957
I am thinking of buying a few units today.
Secondly more efficient gear is coming which is not a big deal if you have 3 or 4 or 5 cent power.
But if you have 10 or 12 or 15 cent power you may want new gear.
As to mining fucking up let me explain a few things about profit.
coins are 11,460 at coinbase on march 3 2018
coins were 1230 at coinbase on march 5 2017
that is a factor of 9.317 to 1
diff is now 3,007,383,866,429 on march 3 2018
diff was 460,769,358,090 on march 3 2017
that is a factor of 6.526 to one
this means 9.317/6.526 = 1.427
so a working s-9 right now is + 42.7 percent better off then it was a year ago on March 3 2017
This is why If someone would like to send me a few 200 dollar coupons I would buy an s-9 or a t-9 today.
my donation id is philipma1957
My advice to those looking to get into mining
the s-9
is loud
it is hot
it breaks
Please understand those risks before you buy them.

Phil,
I appreciate the trust. If I remember correctly, you are using the gen 0 board which is the worst case scenario. Since then we have updated part of the layout and the dielectric compound to increase margins!
I have heard from a few source that some of the L3+'s can pull huge amounts of current from 1 or 2 pins within a small amount of time. I would error on the side of caution when using some less than ideal ASIC miners since fault protection cannot detect single pin current draw (that would be incredibly inneficient unless we were maintaining spacecraft or something as equally as critical).
Have you played with those at all?
-Optim
I have not ordered an L3. I was considering getting one and some one told me they occasionally pull hard current killing psus. The hp 1200 which is a very good psu was fried by some L3s So I have not purchased any L3s For me I have drifted towards gpus due to the long warranties. I may be getting 5 dragon mints this month. |

The long warranty along with the solar power I access makes the gpus very attractive to me

well like everone in here the design looks great and doesn't take alot of space but i have some question regarding the mining rig, can this rig mine bitcoin and if it can, can it be better than asics or better just buy asics
I guess I take it at face value. As a legit question. It mines alt coins such as zcash you can hold the coins as zcash or trade to btc. here is a smaller miner with less gpus It is setup to mine at nicehash which auto converts to btc. this smaller miner is earning 0.0010 to 0.0012 btc a day after auto vert is done  |

I can completely turn off any 1 of the 3 PSU's while the rig is mining and it will not skip a beat and continue mining shifting the load to the other psu's  So, only one power cable for the psu in the middle ? or all? for what aim in the end ? No, you will overload the cable if all those GPU's end up trying to draw power through a single cable. example on my 1200watt psu rigs, 6 x 1080ti's 3 cables to 3 x GPU's from PSU 1 3 cables to PSU 2 from PSU 1 3 cables to 3 x GPU's from PSU 3 3 cables to PSU 2 from PSU 3 So i have 6 cables running from the spare PSU daisy chaining the 2 other PSU's I ordered this style breakout board from aliexpress for $1.90ea, i bought 50 of them at the time   I have boatloads of this BB and they are compatible with the Delta 2400w server PSU too, which made life easier in the farm. There are also variants of these breakout board, which has a "on/off" switch - I prefer these types (I use both types). These types are useful during troubling shooting and avoid physical power off at wall. I have attempted the 19 GPU riser-powered rig using the Asus Mining Expert 19 GPU mobo, with 8xP106s and 11x470s (and 11x1060s), it took 2 x Deltas to work and exceeds 14A out of my 20A rail. I have dismantled these rigs due to power draw and limited power supply in the warehouse. To do hi-density rigs like this (for a farm) and the one Phil is evaluating, a better cabling and power planning is required, IMHO. In the long run, this will be great for highest density, useful in farms. However, I have standardized 6 and 8-slot riser-less mobos in both my GPU farms. Maybe, in the 3rd GPU farm project, I will go for ultra-density and that will need custom cabling and redo my power setup. For now, my group's investments in 2018 are all ASICs... but that's another story all together. I was think of getting a few asics. I sold every s-9 I sold all the avalon 741's |

mine are working as I type zero issues with them.

Payouts are half the amount dollar wise and gpu prices are twice as much compared to last year. Yet people are still trying to gpu mine? There's plenty of bitmain asics that will give better returns.
asic = shit warranty gpu = good warranty most of my gear is now gpu due to asic warranty policy |

Has anyone had hashrates affected by CPU performance?
I have been helping my friend out on a GPU farm project of his, he owns a board game shop and in the past had 2 generic computers in the back that people would use with CCboot and HandyCafe software to charge them for the time they spent on the computers ($0.50/hr), these computers were not very powerful so most games it couldnt run past low settings and most people used them to play overwatch, but his computers were tied up 95% of the time due to school students being dropped off by parents after school and during the summer, so he wanted to expand this side of his business to increase the profits, so we setup 6 new computers with 1950x's w/ 4 x 1080ti's on each rig that he previously had mining at his home in open air mining rigs.
we found moving the GPU's over to the new motherboards, and running them on the same exact settings they previously ran at, we are seeing between 8-10% increase in total hashpower compared to previously on motherboards running cheap celeron cpu's
He is keeping the old dell computers at $0.50/hr, but placing the new rigs at $1.00/hr to see if it deters people from using them at that price or not and setting the new rigs up so they only have the most recent new games on them....
If your curious why he charges so little, its because he writes off the computers on his taxes under Section 179 and has been able to get 100% of what he spent on them back, he makes most of his money at his business from selling snacks, sodas, board games/figurenes, and card game cards....
Okay I assume win10 . I assume msi afterburner so stock setting for msi is sample every 1000 micro seconds or 1 time a second or 60 per minute. 4 cards and about 20 readouts for each card. so 4 x 20 x 60 = 4800 tasks every minute for that celeron it slows down the cpu. the 1950x laughs at that. still go into msi afterburner setting to the monitor page and set the sample to 12000 so the cpu does 4 x 20 x 5 = 400 less work for the cpu the msi graph show up slower but still works and the cpu has less work. someone told me this on the autominer.at review thread and this really help lagging and did boost the hash a bit |

Hi folks!
Is here somebody using a Corsair HX1200i PSU? If I ask kindly, could you please show me the pinout diagram of this specific PSU? I did not find it anywhere on the internet. As far as I know the PSU comes with only 4 pieces of PCIE cables, albeit you could connect 6 of them to run a 6-gpu rig. Am I right?
Thanks a lot for your input in advance!
you don't need the pin out you need cables i will get you a link type 3 dual head pcie cable only 6.99 each one cable runs a nvidia 1080ti http://www.corsair.com/en-us/type-3-flat-black-ribbon-cable-pcie-6-2-pin-dual-connectors-compatible-with-all-type-3-pin-out-psuyou can connect 5 dual head pcie for 5 1080ti's you need 1 jack for the cpu cable. six jacks 4 for pcie 2 for cpu or 5 for pcie 1 for cpu  |
