Understandable that he didn't want to put any holes in the wall. I hadn't realized it was probably built as an existing electrical room originally.

Yeah I'm still stuck in winter mode and heat conservation  - hard mindset to break with a steady low of -30C lately.

I was wondering what does the overall build have for air intake besides the warehouse doors opening and closing? Probably wouldn't take much to maintain ambient if you have enough exhausts, likely even get away with no fans and natural circulation if you do use the high hats for removal.

I've been reading any story that comes out and seems to at least have something new to offer.

This one has an interview with his former Quadriga business partner Michael Patryn - He also addresses the claims about him being that other dude a little. What I found to be interesting was his certainty that it would alll be sorted out by a posthumously sent message. I'm not positive the best way to arrange something like that securely with their apparent 1 person controls it all business model - as in who/what do you trust to hold this in the first place.

My real issue with the theory is why would it take so long. Barring whoever would receive this message just exit-scamming, why would it take this long after the death to deliver the message. This isn't like someones private wallet, this is a business handling massive amounts of investment.

OP hasn't been active since back in November. Most of the numbers/profitability have changed.

Anyone reading this in the future could also go to Bitcoin -> Mining Speculation board to discuss any BTC hardware.

Oh Quadriga... that'll be an interesting one to follow. Can't really blame it on the market until more comes out of it, but it certainly isn't going to help any other Canadian exchanges anytime soon.

I was thinking one service that is suffering are pools - specifically BTC pools. Most of the Altcoin pools are doing just fine as there's a new coin every week. Some of the smaller BTC pools have continued to shrink and all but died off. Considering it's tough enough to get started gain trust  and operate a successful pool, the ones lost aren't being replaced  This was already happening but with the continued pressure on mining in general more farms have pointed to low variance large pools.

That build out looks nice. Super cool that the warehouse owner has another location for a continued expansion.

I only noticed the 1 fan in the picture showing the red door to the warehouse. Had you considered using floor level intakes to bring the air into the space. It would help create a nice steady in from the bottom out from the top air circulation. I'm not sure what the quality of floor level air is there, but I imagine it wouldn't be much worse than what's floating by the fan. You would also be grabbing what would likely be the coolest air in the warehouse, bonus if it's a nice solid concrete slab.

Canada has an option I was turned onto not long ago.

They are obviously only acting as an intermediary in the cases of paying bills. It is convenient nonetheless, I used them for just a straight sale at the time. I don't think they do anything outside Canada unless you have a Canadian account or recipient. Given that this is available just north of the border, it's conceivable it's not to far off in the US, baring any legal reasons.

When we were talking about this I wasn't very clear I realized. Just didn't want to keep going off-topic there.

When we were looking at the trust lists, it appeared that allyouracid became trusted by phantastisch within the last week. I might have been reading it wrong but on the 2 lists I was checking they didn't show on each others trust page.

Is there a way to check timestamps of when someone was added or excluded from a trust list?

It's just above, it looks like a miscommunication, with a cooling off period to sort this out. In turn it's kind of been sorted as far as the trust part - for now you've been excluded from DT2 through the voting system. This may have been done if members felt your feedbacks are lacking in quality/reference; I think the new system went through a few days of people cleaning things up when it was implemented. I'm still trying to catch up on that.


All that is really left is for you two to sort out the personal matter of the feedback. Good luck working it out both of you.

Loyce I'm going to jump over to your trust viewer thread. I'll be referencing this scenario

Loyce

Just saw your edit that helps - I was getting very confused.

One thing I noticed is that they must have just recently added them to their trust list.

I foolishly was checking the old dumps, as opposed to the most recent. So far looking at at 2019-02-03 and 2019-01-29, it doesn't look like they were trusted at that point.

allyouracid - good of you to come by and respond. I also like the attitude of being willing to sort out the issue; not enough of that going around.

Kudos on the level headed approach.

It's tough from an advertising perspective to keep arguably good members around when they show up with a "Red Caution Sticker". Regardless though campaigns are a privilege not a right, and it falls to you and the company to decide how to deal, with it.

Luckily though I noticed it's now a non-issue. It would appear allyouracid is no longer a member of DT.

This is likely to come up more often now. Looks like the system is working as intended, I'm guessing - because I haven't taken the time to learn how to navigate the lists - that they have been removed from phantastisch's trust list or phantastisch has been excluded.

I'm open to making this deal. Just let me know if the following works for you.

I'd be looking to go Preev rate + 7.5%  in my favor. Payable in CAD.


Offer rescinded. I have traded with another forum member.

All I can say is PM them. The haven't read to much into the new DT system but it is more dynamic, and as I understand it more members cycle in and out.

It's a feedback from over a year ago, hard to say if they remember it without a reference link. I believe it's been encouraged to try and resolve older potentially "non issues".

I did ask about this a while back. They said it was just a variance between different batches of chips being produced.

It is weird the US tariffs play a big change for the manufacturers pricing. They have to balance out a price to still be viable in the American market, but not be giving it away to the rest of the world.

Unfortunately that was painfully obvious.

With the previously deleted batches, someone likely just used your thread to boost up their reports. Sure they were against the rules, but it was clear what you were doing and it wasn't harming anyone. That however wouldn't have necessarily attracted anyone who could provide the answer you want.

I still maintain that you've been ignored because you are being reasonable. Unfortunately it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease, or the crazy one depending on this place.

I remember theymos weighing in on multiple S9 threads being removed or locked. I think it was when the water block came out. So there is no reason you shouldn't get a simple explanation on what changes in the moderation policy. It's a fairly simple Q & A.

If you want you can start using the @insertusername to notify people if they are using the system piggy created. I'll link the thread later.

Yes I believe you could always use those coupons.

I was looking to buy some as i was on the fence between an S15/T15 with a coupon, or the M10. So at least going back to around the 12th of January.

I think you missed the premise of the thread.

I am using my mining to supplement my winter heating requirements. So it is definitely profitable for me to run any equipment that provides a coin of value.

And to the point of mining in general, with low enough electricity costs people are still profitable with some equipment.

I just got around to reading that.

I don't think they were subject to a hack of their cold storage. If so why not just own it, it's not like things get better by attempting to whether it and hope no one finds out it happened. Odds are you just get hit with a blackmail own the road from the original perpetrators, the proof would be the transaction ID. So the Blackmail would never end.

I do lean more to the falsifying of a cold wallet, especially if at no point in their legal route of registering it was necessary to prove ownership of the coins. This is a pretty big claim and at first glance resembles a Ponzi like scenario. The problem here is that they should have been able to amass a large amount of coins just in the collected trading/deposit/withdrawal fees. This would support the oddly terrifying claim that they hold less than 1000 BTC, which is less than 4% of the claimed amount.

All in all it's just a weird scenario. Quadriga was one of the sources I showed the wife when I entered crypto as a way of legitimizing it in her eyes. Don't think she remembers that after telling her about it the other day. Glad I didn't have any large losses to report in that convo.

Interesting to see what comes out of this after the 5th. It is cool to see the chain analysts going hard at this.

For me it doesn't change much. Just the added price. I have to pay PST + GST on everything I receive so 13%, if I had a registered business it would only be GST at 5%. It also varies by province, Alberta for instance only has the GST. Usually only gets worse when  CAD takes a dip, makes me long for that shortlived time at Par.


Nice, I had some Avalon gear that showed up and was well over spec. I love winning the hardware lottery. After the last reset and increase to normal mode - I am getting 30.8 and 31.7 TH/s from my units.

I was kicking around the idea of ordering another 1 maybe 2, but haven't decided on pulling the trigger yet. The price increase hasn't helped the decision either.

Well I've managed to get the house up to ~90TH/S
2 x M10 units - I jumped on these a few weeks ago, for the purpose of trying to ROI the equipment faster by offsetting the operating cost in my cold season.
4 741's already in place - These are now at controller setting -1

For this I had to add another 30 amp circuit for the additional miners.

This also required modifying my furnace ducting and switching the fan to continuous. The duct-work was really just opening up the return air on the south side of the run, and opening up the north side of the run near the miner exhaust discharge. This was easy as they were just using tin and the joists as for the run - Which I will be replacing in it's entirety. Upon opening this I found a disgusting crusty mixture of whatever has leaked through the floor boards in the last 20 years.

The M10's in normal mode, have made me consider additional sound proofing. Nothing major probably just play around with the rack I'm using a little more. The hum is noticeable upstairs when the house is quiet, but only I notice when say the TV is on - as I'm always listening for it.

I'll update with pictures soon - So far the wife is happyenoughish with the setup.  

The blocks have been great.

Just managed to get myself over the 100 TH mark. Hoping to keep that stable for the rest of Winter.
