sorta interesting thing happened.. cgminer crashed last night. (vista32 on my 24/7 HTPC) so.. ran cgminer again and stick serial# 13 fired up but stick serial number# 24 did not, that is until I unplugged and replugged it back in and off it went. both were running before for weeks. not sure what happened. maybe windows  . it is a usb2 port. and oh not related to the above I bought a superbpag USB 3 hub from amazon - and a rPi B from crazyguy. also an artic breeze mobile (amazon again) and BTW that arctic breeze mobile says "virtually silent USB fan" umm no its NOT. it makes a hum. anyway going to switch the miners from the HTPC to the rPi B and the suberbpag with the artic breeze in a few days. when you get it going please post a few photos. |

@ BigRedButton good I am glad they arrived. 4 should come to sidehack today. Last set of photos. Note do not do a setup like this biggest reason is it is not code.This is for 1 week to 8 days. I am hosting 3 units for PPOC for about a week. So running them in my HT/den with the modded 2980 psu was not working. I made a l6-30 p to 15p plug------------ not code!! but safe since no kids or pets I attached a yellow 10 awg power cord to it.  ran the cord to my 90f sauna the attached garage is now 90f not code!! but power cord is 10 awg and not kids or pets  three avalon6's  open the door to allow for cooling with the really cold weather this needs to be opened about 1 hour every 8 hours. note the black power cord it goes to the ibm psu  the ibm is under the moving blanket  the insulation board allows air to the stock fans. lastly my ibm 2980 can not run 3 avalon6's it overheats considering it is a 3.1kwatt load I get it. so 1 avalon is ½ ibm 2980 and ½ evga 1000p2 you can see it in the photo under the ibm  |

Fixed the bug so you can now enter users with - or _. I have also added the user. Thank you.. So we have done it all cool. @ herbpean we are not changing titles again. We are all setup correctly in order so there is no need to reset the list. I will do a pdf of the list and then cryptoglance can remove the old names. |

Seems like this pool is growing more and more. Hopefully soon it will be the largest PPLNS pool besides Antpool.
The sad thing is, there's no a lot of healthy pools like this on the network.. Only chinese/private pools looking for quantity, not quality. It can easily be quantity and quality, just need to get a few 10ph+ miners on board, variance will further reduce and more large miners will come and help the network grow in a sustainable manner. I know Kano said no more then 10% of the network, but when we get to 10% then he will need to start KANOII or recruit a like mined individual to take under his wing and start another pool with the same code and same ideology about BTC. Anyone know 10ph+ miners? I wish my buddy decides to build something in washington state. I hope to get him too. I also hope to get the local 60k solar array setup soon. I just want you to not get disappointed after you install solar panels. I am kind of disappointed with my rooftop 10.76 kW system. At peak hours (between 12-2pm), if I run over 3000W (AC) of gears which is about 2 1/2 Titans, I start to pull from the grid. I hope this will change in a few months, I am in highest >6.5kWh/m2/day area. I do have 2.1 kW installed on north end of the roof which doesn't get much direct sun this time of the year. The person building the array is a solar business man. He has had a solar install business for years. It is on his property about four miles from my house. This is a ground install with perfect angles to the sun. And motorized panels that will follow the sun. It is a no battery mixed grid setup. So you juggle your power ie you do not use all 60 kwatts to mine. Remember he gets wholesale price on all gear. Zero install fees. Panels have a twenty five year life span . He thinks we can do 20k 24/7 and pay nothing. The 40k not used sells back to the grid and pays for all the dark time. So the power cost is zero. Obvious that is not counting the base cost of the system. So 20 kwatts of free power can do 70 th if you have all s-7 or 65th if you have all Avalon 6s |

My batch 2 freq rated at freq 575 is outstanding.
It can do as high as freq 631 does 5120 gh at .26 watts per gh.
On the other end if you run it with a titanium evga t2 at freq 575 you get 0 hardware errors and .246 watts per gh.

Had anyone troubles with mining with s7 on f2 pool.?
Looks like their hash rate is not stable and gives out 2-3 TH on 80% of observed units (b7).
Only few from 10 work as promised.
But When working on antpool they all hash 4,8 TH.
I guess the question is why would you be mining on F2 and Ant? Supporting the Chinese that don't care about the future of BTC and already own more then 70% of the world hash. So many better pools to pick from. Most big pool miners do not want the variance risk. On smaller pools. Sad as they cause the problem and do not realize it. I support a lot of small pools and when I look at the math of : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.0 just up to 12ph https://www.kano.is/stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=559011.0 lucky to get 100th http://mmpool.org/stratum+tcp://mmpool.org:3333 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1330452.0 stays under 1ph most of the time http://www.bravo-mining.com/stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333 all pay better then antpool or f2pool. but not enough people mine at them. They simply do not understand math . Sounds hard core but it is true. Now I have 1 s-7 it mines at f2pool inside of my friends old bank. He still leases 1 floor and I am teaching the game to him in case he decides to go large in Washington state with a few investors. Maybe 10ph in gear. I know they won't want to go to a smaller pool as they do not want variance. So I am showing him why I would use a pool like Kano's for now we are pointing where he wants which is f2pool. I hope to get him to move it to kano.is this thursday. Should be simple enough... Ask him: You: "Do you like making the most money possible?" Him: "Of course" You: "Well then you need to get off f2pool and join kano instead" Him: "Are you sure?" You: "Yes. You'll make, 3.1% more by switching" Yeah I can get him to do it this thursday. We mined at f2pool since dec 29th I will do a chart show him what it netted and then get him to to mine with kano. |

Only chinese/private pools looking for quantity, not quality. yeah size matters and this pool is just big enough to not make you wait forever for a block. There are a lot of pools that are far better then antpool or f2pool,but many people do not understand long term thinking with this game of btc. I have been pushing small pools like mmpool and the compac stick pool (subset of -ck's solo pool) But I have to make some coins can't keep feeding the smaller pools. So this is why I came back here. I know the Avalon6 was giving but I am still pointed here. |

Wow how much have you spend on power supplies so far testing them? Thanks for doing this. Also if you love the 2500's and feel like dumping the 2000's let me know.  my out of pocket to run this thread From finksy/j4bberwock I was sent 1x 30 pin board for dual 2000/4000 I was sent 1x 20 pin board for ibm 2880 maybe it is 24 pin I was sent 1 ibm 2880 I was sent 20 15awg pcie cables I was sent 20 16awg pcie cables All at no cost. My purchases 3 ibm 2980 total of 310 = 150 + 80 + 80 and I turned on people to the good ebay price on this. Two dps 2000 psu's total of 50 Two scythe fans total of 35 two nuctua fans total of 50 two 180mm silverstone fans total of 60 A few power cables total of 30 A few power plugs total of 20 A rack total of 20 Grand total 575 While that seems like a lot I returned an Evga 1600T2 and a Seasonc platinum 1200 They were close to 700 at amazon for the two of them So I am 125 ahead and I can run over 6900 watts vs 2800 watts. When I get the rest of the boards I can run 2880 + 2980 +2980 = 8840 GRAND TOTAL OF 15820 WATTS. I am supposed to go partners with another forum member on a 60k solar array. He does the solar I add the rest. Hi Phil, That's the one. I have one too many DPS2500BB and I was looking to get rid of it. I'd happily sell it to you instead of listing it. I'll beat that price on eBay by a bit, and you get a known good PSU. I ran it loaded at 2200W DC for a week and a half to stress test it when I received it. Could have it shipped out to you as soon as tomorrow. Let me know.  Do you know that the dual boards work with it? |

4000 watts and 3 S7's should run fine- you have plenty of headroom I am stable running 3 avalon6 on a single 2880, I suspect I will run into those issues without proper cooling.  I ran 17 amps x 240 volts = 4080 volts for 3 ½ days 2 scythe fans cooled the dual psu zero issues i was doing 2 avalon6's and one s-7 4080w x 0.89 = 3631w DC, so you were still under the 4000w spec. I've run 2 DPS2000 for about a week pulling 4500w DC from them and they didn't even blink. They are super tanks, massively overbuilt. The fact that you can adjust the OCP protection up to 196A via a trim pot should give you an idea.. These guys were overbuilt and under speced to 2000w in order to get higher efficiency I believe. When you're running at 100% 2000w capacity, it's likely that you're only actually using ~80% or so of the PSU's capacity. Great to know, thank you! No problem! 2 of these along with your dual breakout board is probably the best way to power miners today IMO. Could even make it a 5000w setup with your board using DPS2500 instead, and get slightly better efficiency to boot. I am looking for a link to the dps2500 I would be willing to test it here. http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-BladeCenter-DPS-2500BB-2320W-Power-Supply-Unit-39Y7400-39Y7405-/172011963911?this seems to be it . |

That is why I said touched here are the two dates. 12-27-2015 202 blocks diff of 93 rate of 668 202/144 = 1.4 x 668 = 935 1- 10 -2015 178 blocks diff of 103 rate of 743 178/144 = 1.236 x 743 = 918 both days were counted under 1000 but if you took 24 hour time periods from part of either day along with the day next to it you push right at 1000. today will be the first real 1000 if we do 178 blocks 178/144 = 1.236 x 811.4 = 1,002.8 looks like close again 173/144 = 1.2014 x 811.4 = 974.80 so the highest numbers ever done are 12-27-2015 935 1- 10-2016 918 1- 18-2016 974.8

Well I hear we have done 1 EH/s Today.... Who or what was responsible for the Big Increase not at all clear? A lot of Blocks from Bitfury F2Pool & Antpool, however that is sort of normal.. My spreadsheet still showing about 170 blocks for Today.
Rich
we touched 1000ph 2 times before this. So I don't consider this much different. Although we almost are over 1000ph. for the third time. Until we do it 3 days in a row I won't be too worried. my house can do 15 avalon 6's at 4000 gh on an overclock but 24/7/365 is a no go. bit fury may have finally cleared up the heating issues or we drop again in a day or two. ps 162 blocks with 100 minutes left on the day |

So we popped a block from a big boy . Thus contest goes on
the pool has 12,121.66THs
1) 1,156.78THs top gun
2) 811.13THs second banana
3) 640.76THs
4) 495.20THs
5) 430.80THs
6) 420.88THs
7) 383.36THs
8 ) 351.71THs
9) 298.93THs
10) 258.72THs
11) 253.87THs
the above have too much hash power to win and add to about 5500gh of our 12121 th
so 55% chance that a player can hit it vs 45 % chance a big boy hits it.
I am running 8th so I have an 8 of 6620 shot or about 12 in 10,000 chance
the dreamer has a 234 of 6620 or about 353 in 10,000 chance
I need more power!

ok so here are my calculations: assuming cost of electricity, real estate and labor all cost ZERO - and bitcoin price remains constant
both methods show big losses - so unless the chinese are getting these devices at 1/3 the price we have to buy them for, it makes no sense.
Average 2 week increase of bitcoin difficulty in last 48 adjustments of 2 week periods, is 6.1841667%
antminer s7 batch 9 is probably around $1200 at best possible price
so after 90 days:
Output Over 90 Days
Difficulty after 90 days: 171571712432.0.
BTC USD
Revenue 1.54586823 589.04
Hardware Cost 3.14927567 1200.00
Power Cost 0.00005669 0.02
Profit -1.60346412 -610.98
now assuming a block halving and mining for 365 days
Output Over 180 Days
Difficulty after 180 days: 244758616301.0.
BTC USD
Revenue 2.60425378 992.32
Hardware Cost 3.14927567 1200.00
Power Cost 0.00011337 0.04
Profit -0.54513526 -207.72
and then over the next 180 after block halves : Revenue 0.60896981 232.04
so after 1 year of mining with the halvening, i can count on $25 profit - by risking $1200?
your error is using 48 weeks for your diff average . it gives you 6% you could go from Sept of 2014 until now the average is different you could go from Jan 2015 until now the average is different. do 6% do 5% do 4% do 3% do 2% do 1% keep price at 400 any of the above could be true from now until July1 and any of them could be wrongBTW we had about 3.4% diff for the year of 2015 |
