Er, B12 11.85 was $1442 and 12.93 was $1600, so at least it is slightly lower, NOT higher. It needs to be slightly higher with six month warranty. |

Good price raise means warranty is now 180 days like I asked them to do> Just kiddingBut it is what they should do. Raise price and 2x warranty. It has become clear to all of us that these chips break easier this is not a knock against bitmaintech it is a simple fact the the 14-16nm chips at ½ the size of the 28nm chips and they have more power leakage and defects. Intel has had more dead 6600k chips and more dead 6700k chips and reports of issues of the smaller chips burning up including the asics in the s-9. I have cheap power I can make money on an s-9 if it keeps running a long time. I can not make money on dead s-9's. Basically buying these with 90 day warranty is a no go at this price. Buying this with a 180 day warranty is a maybe at this price. Buying this with a 360 day warranty is a yes even if the price bumps up to 1450 from 1382 for the 11.85th Buying the 12.93th for 1600 is worth it with a long 360 day warranty. I simply ask to buy my gear with a longer warranty I would pay extra up front for longer warranty. |

wow the last one. Well thanks for all the fun times  Yeah I just am a little too stretched to run the thread anymore. I have the Solar Array going with the bad s-9 boards 2 of 18 so far. I do not know how long the gear will last. I have a lot in the ETH & XMR gear which takes time. I did my Kitchen and while it came nice the contractors took 3x the promised time 90 days vs 30 days. I also plan on 2 baths and a bedroom over the next six months and I don't want to get jerked around like I did this time. Lastly I no longer have a signature to use to fund the thread. We gave more then 6 coins away. Of which I did 3 the other was funded by a different forum member. I had a few donations from some guys that was good and made up for lost funds with bitfenix which was where I kept the funds for the thread. All in all this was a lot of fun. When we first gave away coins BTC was under 200 bucks it is now near 610. Diff was under 40 it is now over 225. blocks were 25 they are now 12.5 s-3 was 500 s-9 was 2000 Miners were .8 watts in the form of the s-3 Miners are now .1 watts in the form of the s-9 So diff went up 6 ½ is a factor of 2 gear price is a factor of 4 so 6 x 2 x 4 = 48 worse efficiency went 8 better price went 3 better so 8 x 3 = 24 better so mining profit is 2x worse |

Second board is on the truck and I will get it today. this was a 650 board I wonder if replacement will be same.
I will bring gear to solar array on tues and set it back up.
I have 2 boards one is marked as a 650m v2 the other as a v4 but no freq it should be a 550m but since the lowest rated board is a 550m no marking of freq should not be an issue.
I will install on tues.
along with sloppy/finksy plates for dual dps- 2000 psu's
I will post a phot or two here with the new boards in just a minute or 2.

R4 is back on sale but same 1395 price. I would like buy but price is insane ROI 1 year or something, warranty 90days and they don't seem to honor even that, mining GAMBLE.
Funny how it came back on sale once btc price dropped. I would get one with a better warranty but since I killed 2 of 18 s-9 boards while running them on a down clock the 90 warranty simple does not work for me. My first 2 s-9's lose their warranty in 2 days. My second set of 2 s-9's lost their warranty in under 2 weeks. My fifth s-9 has 50 days on warranty. I can not afford an r4 with a 90 day warranty. So since I mine I will get one more gpu to mine more ETH to sell for BTC. My 22 gpus and all the rest of the pc gear have 2 year warranties. Bitmaintech's warranty policy makes it very hard for me to buy from them. Avalon comes out with the model 7 if they simply give a 6 month warranty and does service for it they could compete very well. |

my 2nd replacement hash board arrives today.
so by tomorrow the solar array should be up to 5 full s-9's vs 3 full and 2 at ⅔
I should be at 57th - 58 th
Looking for a run of blocks by Phil starting tomorrow  I don't know about that a run of three in a week at 58th would be quite a long shot. |

But if you sell the hub and PSU, what are you gonna do when a newer better stick comes out?
I still have two 19 port hubs with better psu's so I am set for the newer sticks. |

So, on the CPU side, I am under the impression that a good one (like 6800k or 5820k) can mine almost as much XMR as 1 of the 470s i have coming. If you look at the list below, it shows CPUs like a very old i5-3520m providing a hash rate of 438 K/s and a i5-3570k getting 344. I have not seen benchmarks for any 5th or 6th gen 800k series like I mentioned above but would assume that since they are much more advanced than those 3rd gen CPUs on this list, they should be able to mine XMR in the 500-700 M/s range. If i had to pay the full $400+ for these it might not be worthwhile but since I can get them for $200, it seemed to be a good idea... if they will indeed get around 600. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MI-ic0Os25hgGUImW54sUIjZY_pUNQNa_W8Se5pRGBs/edit#gid=0Now that I looked up that g4500 CPU Phil mentioned though, I see that it only pulls 65W as compared to the 140W of the ones I was considering, so that obviously should be factored in. I'm curious... have you or are you able to ascertain what hash rate you are able to get solely from that g4500 mining XMR? I would like to try to figure out the difference to do an ROI calc but again, I'm also kind of speculating on the capabilities of the 800k's so might be tough. But, even my VERY old i7-2600k is averaging about 100 H/s, so seems as though a current version could get 5-6x that. I guess my other question would be, if I am dedicated to building a rig capable of 5-6 GPUs, could that g4500 even handle that? Do you have it running any of your 4-card rigs? Yes I have an i3-6100t and a g4500 running the two four card rigs they basically get 92-96mh doing eth coin they use about 590-610 watts the i3-6100t and about 615-630 watts the g4500 if you run eth only on the biostar z170 board the best cpu is a g4400t then the i3-6100t both of these will allow the four card rig to do 590-610 watts at about 95mh on eth only. I like the four card build due to its size. If I were to do all my rigs over again I would have all 4 card mobos from biostar and sit them on a wooden rack I have. I would also change out my storm door on the back of my garage as It would allow more air flow if it were a full size screen. I had 3 two card mobos with cpus left over from mining btc and ltc back in 2012. so I started mining eth with them. I had 2 three card mobos from builds of gamers for friends. (they were rma replacements) so I had 5 boards with 3 cpus for zero cost to start and I had 3 hd7970 gpus all idle. So my beginnings with eth coin were based on that 'free' gear. |

This is the final Diff thread Been doing this a long time and I am a bit burnt out.
I jump prize to $50.00
picks will start at 1116 and end at 716.
Last jump we had the rounding rule happen the bitcoinwisdom number was 2.30%
but actual number was 225,832,872,179/220,755,908,330 = 1.02299808819346
that is a 2.299808819346 % jump
so
wpt1wpt1 had 2.2 which covers 2.20 to 2.29999999999999999999999....
pusttiu had 2.3 which covers 2.30 to 2.39999999999999999999999....
so the actual winner was wpt1wpt1
I am awarding both the prize of $25
Since these thread were always meant for some fun.
I also bumped the prize up to $50 for the last thread.
And if the rounding rules happens again I will give two prizes.
I had a lot of fun here. So to all that ever posted here especially seriouscoin thanks for posting and playing.

Well you did not win actually wpt1wpt1 is the winner. Sep 12 2016 225,832,872,179 2.30% 1,616,574,667 GH/s Aug 29 2016 220,755,908,330 1.56% 1,580,232,344 GH/s 225,832,872,179/220,755,908,330 = 1.02299808819346 that is a 2.299808819346 % jump so wpt1wpt1 had 2.2 which covers 2.20 to 2.29999999999999999999999.... you have 2.3 which covers 2.30 to 2.39999999999999999999.... I have decided to award both of you the $25.00 since the purpose of the thread is fun-ness not mean-ness so at wpt1wpt1 please post a btc addy.I am also giving away $50 next jump which will be the end of the threads. new thread is here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1614824.new#new |

Date Difficulty Change Hash Rate Sep 12 2016 225,832,872,179 2.30% 1,616,574,667 GH/s +2.3 = pusttiu Congratulations I need to check if he won . While the number reads 2.30 . We don't round so 225,832,872,179/220,755,908,330 = 1.02299808819346 that would be 2.299808819346 percent jump which would mean the person picking 2.2 is the winner not the person picking 2.3 No one has 2.2 so we have a rollover not a winner and pusttiu gets to have the claim to be the first person to lose to the
rounding rule. 
Now since this has never happened until today and since it is only $25 usd I am going to award the $25 anyway
I am also going to roll the prize money over to $50 usd for next thread.
Why cause the thread is designed for fun-ness not mean-ness.So at pusttiu please give me a BTC addy to pay to. +2.2 = wpt1wpt1 is the actual winner +2.3 = pusttiu looks like the winner due to bitcoinwisdom rounding I will start picks -1.2 = philipma1957 I will roll it over if it hits. -0.3 = Veves1 +0.1 = cpfreeplz +0.5 = moe7865 +0.6 = merelcoin +0.7 = alh +0.8 = Lindin99 +0.9 = Notlist3d +1.0 = petahashminer +1.1 = blindminer +1.2 = edonkey +1.3 = HerbPean +1.4 = Leowonderful +1.5 = DanielRo +1.6 = Mikestang +1.7 = fr4nkthetank +1.8 = HagssFIN +1.9 = BBHex +2.0 = albertamining +2.1 = slastar +2.2 = wpt1wpt1 is actual winner +2.3 = pusttiu +2.4 = NeuroticFish +2.7 = gt_addict +2.8 = t2yax +2.9 = testerman +3.1 = tertius993 +3.5 = Last of the V8s +3.9 = VRobb +4.2 = Kexkey +4.7 = Biodom +5.0 = in2tactics +5.5 = vapourminer https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficultyBitcoin Difficulty: 220,755,908,330 Estimated Next Difficulty: 223,485,744,470 (+1.24%)

Get the biostar z170 and make two card rig then go,to four cards.
Use a low cost g4400 or g4500 cpu
|
|
|
|

Why must you use the i7 6800 CPU?

hi Phil,
How much would it be to send one to the UK? I can't get hold of the green ones here only the Bitshopper ones.
Thanks.
shipping is bad let me check it. maybe 14 usd to ship it. it they let me use first class and not prioity. small flat rate priority is now 34 which is nuts. if I can send it for 14. I would want 40 total |

Hello; I wonder if someone could help understand my results. Background( Windows 7, Sapphire Nitro RX 470 8GB, OpenCL installed, eth installed.) My first attempt at mining does not look successful, as eth doesn't seem to recognize the GPU.
I used the following command.... c:\Program Files\cpp-ethereum>eth -v 1 -a (my address) --client-name HashZilla -x 50 -m on -G
I got the following result....cpp-ethereum, a C++ Ethereum client
No GPU device with sufficient memory was found. Can't GPU mine. Remove the -G argument
So I set the OpenCL parameters and tried again....c:\Program Files\cpp-ethereum>setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.
c:\Program Files\cpp-ethereum>setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.
c:\Program Files\cpp-ethereum>setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.
c:\Program Files\cpp-ethereum>eth -v 1 -a 0x7643715CF78eB75ee857f7203B3365741205
6655 --client-name HashZilla -x 50 -m on -G
cpp-ethereum, a C++ Ethereum client
No GPU device with sufficient memory was found. Can't GPU mine. Remove the -G ar
gument
I checked the device list....
c:\Program Files\cpp-ethereum>ethminer --list-devices
Listing OpenCL devices.
FORMAT: [deviceID] deviceName
CL_DEVICE_TYPE: GPU
CL_DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEM_SIZE: 8589934592
CL_DEVICE_MAX_MEM_ALLOC_SIZE: 4244635648
CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_GROUP_SIZE: 256
I also specified the GPU device with the following command.... c:\Program Files\cpp-ethereum>eth -v 1 -a 0x7643715CF78eB75ee857f7203B3365741205 6655 --client-name HashZilla -x 50 -m on -G --opencl-device 0 cpp-ethereum, a C++ Ethereum client No GPU device with sufficient memory was found. Can't GPU mine. Remove the -G ar gument Is this the correct device information for the RX 470 ? Thanks Zilla Use claymore dual miner. Load Amd 16.9.1 drivers |

yes and if you are a veteran you can get a 10% discount.
I wish they would advertise that, didn't know about that discount. 8-( Lowes and Home Depot both give discounts for vets. |
