Listing a companys phone number is not violating anyone’s privacy policy and neither is divulging a company’s tax ID’s. Where did they teach you that in the IRS? I’m sorry my BS flag is waving hard at that statement.

That exact number given to me is on bitmain warranty’s site plain as day. I am not and don’t intend on giving a cent to this company on no one else should either.

Do you think I would say that My mother my wife and myself worked for the IRS and be lying?
21322  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: help to upgrade old mining computers + other questions on: February 02, 2018, 06:52:56 PM
Hello everybody,

My last try with mining, was few years ago (exactly when Litecoin was released).
I was Mining Litecoin and Dogecoin but stopped for private reason.

I want to get back in the mining and i know everything has changed ...


Actually i have this configuration:

POWER: 1200 WATT GOLD
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G45 (UP to 3 Video card)
CPU: Intel Core I3 - 3220 @ 3.30GHZ
Memory: 16GO DDR3
Video card: 2x SAPPHIRE DUAL R9 280X 3GO DDR5 OC
hard disk: 500 GB WD Greenpower (probably a 5400 round)

i understand this is too old (at least for the GPU).

so my questions ...

what do i have to change? everything or just video card? (i dont want to mine with the CPU)
Do i have to do somme upgrade (more ram?, what kind of hardware?, more power for the PSU?)
Wich coin to mine?
wich software? (Minergate? Claymore, Cgminer?)
Wich Pool to join?

actually with this configuration i'm minning XMR at arround 600 H/s


thank you for your help

You need new cards the rest will work

You are all ignoring a huge point my conversation made. Any company conducting business within the United States has to have a federal and state ID. It is common practice to request these ID numbers from prospective businesses that you wish to do business with. It is a way of establishing legitimacy by verifying with the government that they indeed exist. Bitmain warranty may exist at that location, but myrig certainly does not. They don’t have a location in America yet Halong claims they are their sole distributor to the US.

Yoshi told me I can order 4 to 5 of these via paypal or cc.

I can pay in late March for early April delivery. Until he fails me I have no worries.
The
I have no risk this way.  As to Yoshi refusing to give you id tags you gave out his number you would give that out to.

It is simple don’t buy a thing until they sell and deliver to me.

If they don’t sell to me and ship to me you don’t lose a thing.

I repeat I did business with him for years.  He has not done wrong to me.



I am shocked that someone such as yourself would find divulging a telegram phone number to potential buyers a big no no considering they have taken so much money from people. To me it just appears you are playing devils advocate or have more skin in this game than you are leading on. And as for divulging federal and state tax ids you know that’s publicly available right? There is nothing secretive about a businesses phone number and tax ids my God....where do you guys work?

  My mother worked for the IRS for 25 years and retired from them.
My wife worked for the IRS for 33 years and retired from them.
I worked for the IRS for a few years left them went back to college on a GI benefit got a degree in accounting.  Went to a big acounting firm was laid off in the 90's went back to my first love pc's
and have been involved with pc builds and designs for about 20 years.

You violated Yoshi's privacy and now accuse me  of being non transparent about this gear.  All I have said is I believe it is real and I have yet to pay for any gear.
So if I said wait till I order the gear and get before you order any gear from them how on earth do you think  you can lose.  You simply need to wait for about 52 days. And not open your wallets till I confirm it is safe.

So I’m playing with my s9 to quiet it down.  I took it all apart and mounted the hash boards so I could blow air directly at them instead of through them. Do both sides of the hash board need lots of air?  One side. Has dull allluinim plain heat sinks and the other side has shiny heat sinks with more machining?  Which side makes the heat?

I plan to use a box fan to cool the chips and then I need to add a pwm generator to fake the fans. Is there a way to do this without a pwm generator?



Put it back together now.

You can not do what you are trying to do.

Put it in a sound proof box. There are several threads on that .

Question to the SMos users: how do you set back up pools ?

I run to nicehash.  They have 99% up time.

I do have other pools set but I would need to set manually.

I do have a warning from nicehash if they go down.  They had 10-15 minutes down time since they re opened.

I don't sweat 15 minutes a month.

Coins dropped to 7600 usd today on coinbase. I almost decided to buy 1.

With the profitability of mining as we speak and alot of coins crashing down hard, im suprised that not more cards are hitting the used market such as ebay etc. Why are ppl not panic selling equipment like they are coins? Do miners generally got more balls then the avrage trader?  Grin

Many miners have good power deals.

I can mine sixty gpus at low cost.

did any of the buyers ever claim that something was wrong with the cards? did you do no returns?

thanks

eBay is hard to sell buyers are very difficult.
21329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Happy New Years! Seventh alt coin thread! on: February 02, 2018, 03:14:12 AM
Hi guys,

I recently bought 6 GTX 1080ti as follows:
2 Palit Jetstream
4 Palit Gamerock Premium Edition

The Gamerock editions are better cooled thanks to their dual fans (totally 4 fans).
I'm using SMOS and I'm currently running with +50core, +300 mem and 225W for Gamerock and +150core, +500mem and 225W for Jetstream edition.
Equihash gives me around 4350 sols, around 710-730 per gpu.

Those are my first 1080's. In your opinion over time, how is it?
If I go to 200 or under 200W, sols are around 680-700 per gpu.

Thanks

 All of the 1080 ti cards I have will do 700-720 hash/sec at 200 watts, +100 core +100 mem, using ebwf.
 Sample size is small though - 3 x Gigabyte Aorus (NOT the extreme), 1 x EVGA SC "black", 1 x Asus Turbo, 1 x Gigabyte "Windforce".

 Above 200 is where the "lower cooling capability" cards start noticeably losing hashrate vs the better cooled cards.

 150 watts more or less seems to be the "best efficiency" point at 620 hash more-or-less for slightly better than 4.1 efficiency - and all of my cards show the SAME hashrate within measurement error range at 150 or at 175 watts.

 Mem clock setting probably varies depending on where the "stock" clocks are set at as to what works best.

 I've not done as much "ringing out" on fine tuning on my 1080 ti cards as on some of my other cards though - YET.



yeah test with watts  and keep the ram core steady

Quint  is correct  that 200 plus and cards will fade

my best cards are my msi water blocks

I have 11 of these

I would have a few hundred of them  on racks like this

six to a rack  same onda mobo

using this psu

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/ax1600i-digital-atx-power-supply-1600-watt-fully-modular-psu-na


set them to 195 watts a card about 1250 watts a rig doing 4200 sols

I would want a 2 acre solar array allowing about 60kwatt per hour
of which I would run 30 rigs leaving overhead.  for the home I owned ion the same land.

the 30 rigs would pull 126,000 sols which nets to 750 usd a day .

or 271k a year.

I want to build a PC with 2 1080tis in them. I see online that people say use a cheap celeron chip to run the mobo and then I could just mine that way. Is there a  special kind of cheap PC I can buy that will run 2 1080tis? maybe a cheap brand that miners have used and recommend?

yes you can have this

a g4400 cpu = 50
a 2 full slot  mobo with room for  riser add ons   80-90
a usb stick program with smOS stick is 10 software is 0 then 2 dollar a month fee
a stick of 4gb ram is 30
a decent psu say 110
that is about 310  maybe less if you get used.

the one I show can do 2 1080 ti and has a riser for a third was about 320  with no cards





21332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining earnings are terrible, I'm shutting down for a while on: February 01, 2018, 11:39:24 PM
Profitability is surely low but is it actually low?

We mine because we believe that in future the crypto we are mining will give us better returns. So mostly it is about holding for long enough that we gain whatever we set out to.

You really need to start thinking in terms of BTC / ETH /whatever you are holding instead of fiat if you want to mine/trade crypto tension free.

good point

https://www.nicehash.com/miner/16yLHLoeyuCLPMXkVpC3gyrRYvwRGwjKJr

this account makes 0.0099  btc a day  or 3.65 btc a year

If I mine and hold all that matters is the price of BTC 1 year from now.

But this gear is paid off fully
the power cost is zero as it is all run on solar energy

Thus I can mine and hold for an entire year. If I need to do that.

Hello,

I couldn't find enough info on the forum for this gpu. I have on Evga 1080ti SC2 , I can get around 700 Sols with %75 power. Are zotac 1080ti mini's can give the same performace without any heating problem ? Does anyone have this card so he can give us detailed info about hashrates , temps etc..

Thank you

it runs hot i have 2 ant i tend to use 170 watt and 670 hash.

it is for small  spots  not for high hash

Here's a way better option IMO - buy one of these (Amazon Prime):

http://amzn.to/2EwdI7K

buy a short C13 to C14 cable like this:

http://amzn.to/2BLaM4d

Cut it in half, and wire it into the POW (super simple, I can take some pictures if people have any issues) - connect it to your WiFi, and voila!  You not only have a more accurate sensor than the kill-a-watt, greater load (16a instead of 13a), you can calibrate it to a known load, and it has live JSON output so you could log it if you are so inclined.  It's also tolerant from 90v to 250v, so you can run it on your normal household loads when you want, as well as the 240v ones.

I use these things all over the place, I think they're the best bang for the buck you can spend - plus it's a relay, so you can remotely reboot them.  Personally I reflash them with this firmware:

https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota

Which makes them even better - although I've modified mine to be more miner-friendly.

I have that  and have yet to wire it.

Standard USA spec Kill-A-Watts read 220v just fine. Just dont try to pull more than 8 amp through them.

nope  they do not   I have them and they do not work.

it may be you have a different one then me I have 4400p3 international and it does not work.

21338  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Using stove power outlet for mining? on: February 01, 2018, 04:20:48 PM
Exactly what he said ... That's what I was getting at.

There seem to be lots of confusion so my reply was more adding info that may help some people than aimed specifically at you.

As for what i know that 220-240v 40a are 3 wires plug and cable, which are 2 hot wire and 1 ground wire.  Each hot wire are still only 20a.
15a or 20a are normal outlet in most home in the US, which can hanle 1800/2400w.  I will reserve 20% of the load for safety due to if you are running the power consistently over 3 hours.  so you are talking about 1440/1920w per a breaker line (not each outlet).

With your kitchen 240v that really don't give you much if you running a 6-8gpu rig 1k-1.2kw.  which only allow you run 2 rigs or 3 max.   BTW most American home power line are 100a cable from outside, apartment that depend could be 100 or 200a.  you really  can't setup like mining farm, because you will max out your power line after 4 rigs that take 1kw+ each system.  Unless you not using any electricity at home, like Microwave, AC, Ranger, Fridge bla bla bla that draw power as well.



No. While 240v 40a is 3 or 4 wires, both hots are 40A, but at 120v, the ground and optionally the neutral are there but not any different from usual. Two 120v 20a give you 240v 20a, not 40a. Phil is correct as usual.

I am more then 90% of the time.  But In this case  I am really sure  he should do what I said.

I know that cost me more then this did.  In fact I dont rent much  anymore due to that 0.0001 btc fee

I can tell you they have cancelled and dropped off many many many many rentals on me.  Stealing that fee.

They should refund it when they cancel the order.
