Thanks for the idea.

The problem i have with tape is that it does not cover properly the led because of capacitors and such very close to the LED that gets in the way of the tape holding down.

And after time, the tape unstick with the air blowing against it.

Today i had a S5 throw thousands of errors in a short time, for the course of 30 minutes, almost all shares were Hardware errors. Does anything have any clues as to what could of happen aid if i should just overlook it?

I get his point and i watched until the end, but i think he is wrong. Buying btc/blocks from 0x address is like buying non sequential bills at a premium. Or collection piece coins. They are all perfectly fungible. What a weird word.

Regardless if you do a purchase online and you need to pay 0.69BTC' it doesn't matter if it come from coins with no previous history or if its the most used, whore-y coin ever.

The official core wallet is at https://bitcoin.org/en/
From there go to getting started, choose your wallet, then that has a link to all other wallets. I recommend a SPV one to avoid hours of syncing time and taking up tons of space for the Block chain unless that is not a problem for you.

Where are you located? I will help you find one. I know a couples that do worldwide and if you're in north american then its very easy.

Maybe they are trying to generate discussion for their main account? No i really don't know. Half the questions in beginner/help and mining support i reply to are single post account that post and don't even log back in after that.

Is it that hard to make a bookmark and come back to it later on? Or are they just giving up on BTC instantly because its "so much trouble"?

That sound like a lot of trouble for 28 led :S.

At this point i would had just spreaded canned paint on them if it was non conductive. So i need something a bit more one time that i can just spread over and not have to spend a ton of time and tape to maintain.

I do make money with GPU as well, but that is a discussion that belong in the Altcoin section. So it would probably be best to let this thread die or lock it, now.

Could you tell us what you were pointing on the solo pool? Maybe i would be inspired to put more hashrate toward this if its something i could spare.

Meanwhile, this only leave obtaining the tool i need. It look like i can get the tool for 9USD shipped from ebay, but i'd be likely to get it in time for Christmas. So if anyone know where online i could get on from a seller already in NA for up to 15USD~, i would like to know. Ironically, i can't find it on Home depot's website.

If not, then thanks you for everyone who participated in this thread. I may very well post the results later on.


Understood. Let see what kind of agreement we can come to, but this portion will be continued in PM lest this become a marketplace thread.

Correct. I bought half a S5, which is why i'm trying to find a working S5 blade to slot it in, it would be pretty simple, but so far no luck.

It look like the boards, at factory setting do perform nearly exactly the same however, but i do not know why when "we" push them down or up you start seeing differences as i'm not very knowledgeable about electronic fabrication.


It could, i'm not sure about the variation in temp, i think it just depend on where the sensor is on the board, if its closer to intake, it will read lower even though overall the board is at the same temperature as the other.

However i noticed that if you don't put two fans, one of the board is actually fairly hotter than the other, and if you put them on the side, the top board seem to heat up more, probably because of thermodynamics... i mean the how air likes to go up.

They're going to be fine for the next 8 months, especially since its going to be cold/cool for all that time, and then the halving. But thats going off topic.

I think i'll suffer the 75mWatt waste and just cover them. I don't want to actually modify any sort of circuitry. There has something simple and inexpensive i can slap over..

Stock. I don't have undervolt or overvolt capabilities, this show the difference between the boards. The 0.006% is over a long period of time, so its temps. Even though it does take a while to stabilize the HWE% over time, it does go down as well, not just start up. The S4 is like that. HWE tend to go down a bit after start. But that just seem to me like most ASIC like to start with some HW.

Here is the header, not that it will give much more information;


This just show that v1.91 has some capability to stabilize the chip's voltage slightly, which may be what the oscillator were intended to do when put in place. Enabling us to feed it down/over volted current is probably a side effect.

The input voltage is the same for #1 and #3 (and #2 is effectively the same too but #1 #3 has the same source and same reading) yet they have different HWE%. The chips are the same, controllers are the same, etc. You know better than me what that leave as reasons.

I want to add more observations between the different boards versions;

#1 = v1.91
#2 = v1.3
#3 = v1.5



All the 3 different board like the cold. v1.91 is showing 0%, its at 11 HW atm. v1.3 and v1.5 behave the same way, i don't know the differences between the boards but it does not seem to be performance related. The v1.91 does perform marginally better.

#1 and #3 is powered by the same, brand new EVGA GS, PSU.
#2 is on a EVGA G2 1k

Difference of v1.3 and v1.5 at these temps vs hot 60c~ is 0.0035%~ vs 0.006%~

Its not the only full verification wallet. Armory also is full verification, according to bitcoin.org. Tho most others are indeed SPV- Simplified Payment Verification.

It wasn't directly related to mining so i wasn't sure where to post.

I absolutely don't want to see their flash. With a layer of electric tape, i can see if the led is flashing when directly looking at it since a smidgen of light make it through, which is ideal. So a thin layer of whatever i could put on it should do.

Its just there's components around the led and that block the tape from properly covering it. I'd just need something non conductive.

If you ever had a Antminer S1, then maybe you would feel my pain. That bunch of S1 would give someone an epilepsy attack. Its like a crazy rave show.

Thanks for your kind offer, but as you already saw, Sidehack is offering me a nice deal.

However, where do you click when you,re on that page to check out?


Um, yeah, i'm interested, considering we're talking about fixing all my cables + fix all my PCI-e cables problem for a long time by making more, for a fraction of what a set of these cost from retailers or EVGA's own website.

I'd take the offer strait away, but its Sunday, so meanwhile i'm wondering if there's anything else i'd want to buy from you. Dont suppose you have some huskless working S3's you'd want to part with for cheap huh? Maybe some S1's fan lying around (JDH1238B)? A working S5 blade? Something you might actually have; Long S5 cables 18pins(I'd take 2* 16 pins too)?

Okay okay i get you're not a one stop shop but i figured i'd ask. Anything under 0.15$/GH even at S3~ efficiency is very good for me.

Whatever your answer is, worse case scenario drop me the Quote in PM with a BTC address to send the money to and i'll fill it before Monday. And drop me your address too if you want, i'd like to know what it would cost me to ship you the dead S5 blade, just trying to find more atm.

Just one thing i need to know, what is the tool i need to crimp those female PCI-e pins?


I believe i asked you for a quote for the long 18pins cable today, but no reply popped on my watchlist. I think i asked if you had a page with a list of everything you have and the pricing scheme for them. Do you have one?

Yeah but the cheap shipping disappear the second you add any significant amount of items to the carts. And it doesnt actually seem possible to check out, not sure if the site is bugged or what, but 50$ for slow shipping for 20 connectors and 120pins is insane.

It really goes from 8$ shipping to minimum 30$ the second i added 60 pins to the 10 initial connector. It would be cheaper to buy them separately, but the quote system and the whole checkout system seem bugged out.

Indeed, its easy to get upset at someone on this forum, there is always someone here that want and try to attack you for whatever reasons. Its very easy when you are not face to face, to judge and look down on someone.

I/we have to deal with people that aren't happy with your post and they either attack you and try to make you act out, or go behind your back and complain to the campaign manager instead of talking it out with you.

Its hard for me to not talk/attack back but this forum and the good people on it are worth it, so it would be best to suck it up and move on. Its what i try to do.

Its hard to properly vehiculate ideas in a way that won't be misinterpreted because English isint my main language, but its not worth acting out.

I think Marco is pretty understanding, so i would suck it up and move on with any issues you still have here and stay with this campaign if "you" still can. This campaign is definitively worth our "110%".

It look like they do, however;
USPS First Class International (15-30 days)   $7.99
or
UPS Standard   $19.20

A bit expensive or slow as hell for 14$ of stuff.

Also, they sell 4pack of female pins for 0.3$ or you can get 6 females pins for twice the price, 0.6$ as an option coming with the plastic connectors.

Did i miss something, like they need different connectors or its just a marketing trick?

Its too bad they don't do better prices for bulk orders, i'd be inclined to make my own cables from now on, but they don't seem to be posed for good deals for Canadians, and for the items i checked, they only have "pricing" for 1+, no 10+ or 100+.

Edit:

Also i can't seem to checkout, the shipping estimator doesnt make sense, adding some pins to the connector order make the shipping go up to 70$ which is plain derp. So i tried to see what quote they really give me but at my cart/checkout i can't seem to click anywhere to actually try to place the order.
