Dust and heat is what killing everything ... PSU , VGA , CPU , FANS ...
If you are running your rig in dusty environment, and not cleaning them regularly included Motherboard/PSU/VGA/CPU Fan ...you rig lifetime maybe 1-2 years or less ...
If the same rig is running in the Air conditioned Datacenter , Server room with dust collector system , in a "virtually dusty free environment " it will be ok for another 5-8 years or more .
as for dust, i'm not that paranoid in removing dust, as long as they do not get thick enough to block cooler air flow and potentially conduct electricity when the air tends to becomes humid or when the accumulated dust tends to absorb water in the air..speaking of humidity, the air in my mining area is drier than any parts of where i live, there is a time when it rained and the water that came inside the window, about a cup in quantity quickly evaporated...i even dry clothes and stuff in my mining room, the temps even helps me defrost and ferment foods LOL  .. thinking about drying foods too hmmm.. dried a few nuts successfully lately. i use this  to remove dust without turning off the miners, just by holding gpu's and stuff with my other hand before i blow some air to them..majority of the dust is sucked by the exhaust fan and thrown outside |

Regarding fans...don't run them at 100%
Set a custom fan curve and let the software do it's job to maintain a temp that will allow for long life. These fans we have now can reach sometimes 4000 rpms and bearings spinning at that speed will not last long. Some people are misinformed and think if they can run a gpu a few c lower that it will last longer, the reality is as long as you have good temps the only thing you will do is reduce fan life. Of course when that heat wave hits let the fans spool up to keep the gpu happy.
there is a trade off too, it is not only the speed that can reduce a fan's life, the temperature in the bearing reduces the fan's life too, you may run it at low speed but the gpu temp might shorten the fan bearing life.. the most important thing is always find a way to cool your room..get creative  |

I need to keep the PCI riser connector into the PCI slot firmly (assuming rig is working with all PCI risers nicely seated).
I am thinking of putting some "quick bonding silicon, glue??" on the connector so that it doesnt move around.
I see same technique used in DIY PSUs so that the solder doesn't get disconnected.
Anyone knows where to get this stuff? Is it a glue gun... I doubt it after Googling it I may be searching for the wrong thing because I am unsure whats this glue or sealant is called.
Thanks
just by strapping them together (pcie riser usb cables) with a zip tie or wire strap(of any material) can give a bit of sturdiness to each connection. never had a problem with them getting loose, to add that these are old boards.  |

Amd miner yet?
wth, are you going to ask for this every single day, like a parrot? on: October 10, 2016, 02:46:56 AM Waiting for OPENCL. No more Cuda card here. on: October 11, 2016, 10:58:21 AM Still waiting for an AMD miner. on: October 12, 2016, 04:44:20 AM NO amd miner yet? anyone? on: October 13, 2016, 08:40:33 AM Amd miner yet?  Will ask again tom. wait and see. LOL.. maybe parroting will help..ANY AMD MINER OUT THERE?! i think the problem right now is the absence of at least 1 exchange, without BTC exchange rate/value, AMD miners developers might not prioritize making GPU miner for this coin because without BTC valuation, even a miner with fees will not pay off or there will be only few miner software buyers (if miner is sold per copy) unless they see that mining pascal coin even without an exchange (yet) will pay off or at least speculate that it will. so in my opinion an exchange plus people buying this coin will hasten miner developing for AMD and NVIDIA (optimization) |

The block reward is very little during launch, it will increase slowly, so there is no way you can make extra money by mining it early.
After a month or so it will settle off and most likely profitability will equal to that of ETH.
Look at what happened with XMR and its difficulty. It double/tripled in price and within hours miners started shifting their rigs. Same thing happened with LBRY, same thing happned with SIA.
This coin won't make any miners any richer, all it will do is dampen ETH difficulty for a short while. The people that will benefit from ZCash are the founders, investors, miner developers, cloud mining operation, and pools.
and miners with very cheap electricity and miners with free electricity (advantageous situation or stolen). |

Nice! Glad to see the original Dash(coin) listed on Cryptopia, now basically the only exchange I use besides Polo. can i ask why cryptopia is your trusted exchange besides polo? i haven't use that exchange yet...what makes them trustworthy to you? I have used them since unitus got delisted from poloniex, and maybe a little bit before then. I chat with both the owners in the trollbox and they seem like decent folks with some kind of principle - they refuse to list dash and dumped ETH after hardfork. They also commit to coins once they're listed even if they're not doing much/any volume, unless the network gets totally fucked or something. Coins I trade there: unitus, nyan, bitcedi, aeon, myriad, monero, groestl. They're not perfect. They have this shitcoin dot that they basically have a monopoly on, and some questionable listings like EDRcoin and leocoin, but overall I think they are pretty good and have been up and running for a couple years now I think. thanks for the input..exchanges start small and when they get bigger they tend to become more choosy..polo got their break when cryptsy fucked up.. leocoin lol, i've got a first hand experience with their MLM agents (in person), that's why i feel like visiting their thread from time to time. |

it is just a burned connection, if you can reconnect you are good to go
if you know how to solder, desolder and remove burned pins and solder wires to the board...this wires will connect to your psu 12v, just cut the burned wire and reconnect there
yes i can reconnect my psu, and now working normal, it's safe if i use it again ? but i hope i can buy a new psu to replace it in this month. i can't do it. i don't know how to soldier it, im not knoww anymore about electric. Check if it's warm to the touch (the plastic). If the connection is weak due to the burn it will be warm/hot in which case it's not fine. But with some basic cleaning and soldering you could repair that. basically i don't trust wires/pins/metals that already changed color due to burning...in my experience a burnt pin is crispy, it snaps and electricity don't pass thru smoothly specially when the power consumption increases..re using that connection will not put my mind at ease. here is an example of a burned connection to my motherboard, with wires soldered to the board.  |

WOW! that's a lot of markets.. i should have grab a lot of DSH before it was delisted at poloniex, when people are panic trading DSH for XMR..i have a feeling that was DSH all time low |

waiting for amd miner too

dead?
if they like it, BCN devs can move to dashcoin, its their code .. if they see 500k DSH enticing enough plus 200 XMR bonus, i'm sure the community will still add to that funds.

Here are some benchmarks from the Height problem.
One of my CPUs on Block 2300 now hashes at 8.3H/s, while at Block 23000 it will hash at 1.35H/s. This doesn't take into account the difficulty changes by then. Every CPU will linearly follow this pattern.
degredation will accelerate when memory is exhausted and starts swapping to disk. Currently its using about 460MB of RAM. At block 23000 it will use 956MB of ram. So RAM is not really an issue since most of us have 8-16GB of it. my i7 3770 don't show 0.03kh anymore..only hashing at 0.02kh now.. i remember when ethereum mining still depends on system RAM on mining instead of GPU RAM..might happen with zcoin GPU miner release |

zcoin too mr. claymore
it is still a cpu mineable coin....
and take a look at pascal coin too, there is already nvdia miner..we need amd miner.

awwww...how about my AMD's?

... or directly convert to BTC like in shapeshift ...
What about Changelly? my bad. i missed that part, i even post it in the previous page. LOL there is a huge gap in changelly DSH - BTC market(buy and sell price), hope this even out in time. |

a web wallet is nice..but i will remind people about the risk in storing your coins in places where it can be stolen or lost. unlike XMR, DSH has no market where you can use it to buy goods or directly convert to BTC like in shapeshift. so using a web wallet to become mobile(no access to your PC while you are outside your home) is not that great yet. i would try the web wallet though..with the amount i can afford to lose. I gave you an idea.
The rest is up to you.
that's not a very enticing news LOL..anyway anybody can grab a decent amount of DSH with at least 20$, and i got no problem with that. too bad poloniex delisted DSH, with XMR in hot seat DSH tends to become very cheap there, especially with the darknet XMR utilization. |

suprnova fron is down is the pool working at least? Yeah this coin is anti CPU-ASIC.
Basically if you got a Celeron/Sempron it will hash at the same speed as a 8 Core Intel i7 CPU.
mining with i7 3770 with 0.01 to 0.02 kh, is this normal? seems normal, my x3220 (Q6600) is hitting 0.01 kh too damn i got two old cpu's hanging around an e8400 and a phenom old gen of some sort..gotta put these babies to work i'm at 0.03 with 6 core utilized and a 4790k, with 8 core will probably be 0.04 update: after a while, my i7 3770 is at 0.03 kh with 8 core utilized suprnova is not down, miners are still mining |

WHO want to buy this token outside Philippines??? i dont!
how about "can i make money outside Philippines?" LOL |

Crypto mining blog is writing about zerocash launch. Funny is how they plan to start mining it:
"Since initial public mining for Zcash (ZEC) will most likely be limited to CPU mining on Lunux only"
Familiar? OMG it's same THAT Instamine! Go troleros that's yours bone.
They also took second good thing: "80% goes to miners and 20% to developers"
familiar?
with TRANSPARENCY and HONESTY |
