Darn it, the right 70W Superbpag usb 3.0 is now unavailable from Amazon.
Can usb 2.0 slots actually handle higher current than 0.4A?
That said, did anybody used Plugable 2.0 powered hub to run sticks with or without Y cables with at least the default speed?
yes but in my case on really high quality hubs. a cavat I had 4 quality windows pc's and 2 good mac minis with vmware fusion windows None of these setups worked really well . So I used 1 of the pc's with linux and it has been close to perfect. I ran 20 sticks at freq 300 on my 49 port eyeboot hub. I ran 16 sticks at freq 350 on my 19 port eyeboot hub. So I have found that all of my windows builds could not do it correctly some did 4 sticks and the fifth dropped off. If you look at these threads you will see my posts and how I got it fixed with a linux build |

I just updated mine - sorry for the delay!
Mine is:
1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.Jan11SFMinersticks
Thank you missing these below 11) Chris_Sabianstick active with old address 15) baktegonStick active with old address 21) sloopysticks active with both old addresses 21a) sloopydonation 37) stef942stick not active You can prune the donation one for now, i'm not sure when/if i will replug a S1 for donation. Some miners may have old failover on it. Just don't track them, consider it a real untracked donation or such? you can merge it with the sticks if you want just change the address on it to the one above. |

Ok today is over and we finished the day at -9%
Looking good so far.
That is a pretty amazing number I wish that it would last. Would love a week with low or negative would be even better but I wont hold my breath. Price is in the high 420's. So dropped from low 430's. So BTC is going opposite direction as we want it to. well if we had -9 for diff and price drops from 435 to 410 that is -5.7 so its a win for mining. From all that I have seen we are not going to keep ripping 9 or 10 % last diff the worst day was Jan 10 at 178 blocks the diff before the worst day was dec 27 at 202 blocks We know bitfury did a really big mega farm say 200ph. We know they had tons of up and down days Well if they have settled in and no more ups and downs that is one less growth for now. My guess is 5% or less this time. (I hope) a 132 block day is nice 147 on the 13th 132 on the 14th these are good. |

@philipma1957 will I be getting a tracking number so I can track it and check on the status?
I will pm Yan he said he shipped the one to you and the pair to bigredbutton ups ground today. For the ones coming to me they arrive Fri via ups Most are being shipped via usps schedule c flat rate priority mail I will toss 200 ins on each. I am thinking I am mailing them on sat since I won't be able to get them out on fri in time. I will need to check that everyone has all wires etc. I will need to double check shipping addresses. I think I have time to run each one 1 hour with ckpool I would use your rasp pi put in 1 pool for 1 hour stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 with a btc address you control so if any one wants it pre-tested let me know if you want to pre-test mine you are more than welcome too whenever you need my shipping info just let me know pm sent |

your issues can be fixed a few ways but I need a lot more info to help. --- cool. I'm happy to provide more info. : ) first off you should have asked us before you installed with a pro --- agreed. so how many 240 breakers are put in? --- the breaker shown in the photo is the only one. --- it is powering TWO outlets (but I only showed a photo of one) if you have 3, 240 outlets all to the one breaker you could run 3 s-7 's and 3 psu's with 3 of the power cables you linked us to. --- ok cool. --- So, the power cable I linked to is sufficient for this job? Also... I did have the following chat with a sales rep from PDUwhips.com: Chris at 9:19, Jan 14: Hello how can I help you? You at 9:20, Jan 14: hello... I'm looking for: 20 Amp, 250V Power Cord Plug --- with 6-20P on one end and C13 on the other Chris at 9:20, Jan 14: We have these. Here is the page: http://pduwhips.com/products/2121-computer-power-cords.aspxYou at 9:20, Jan 14: That's 15a Chris at 9:21, Jan 14: Yeah but the C13 is rated for 15A max, so it will not even fit onto a 12 AWG cable Chris at 9:21, Jan 14: The plug is rated for 20A max, but since you have gear that has a male C14 needing to connect to that C13 it won't pull more than 15A. In fact, it probably pulls far less You at 9:22, Jan 14: see details here: http://www.boisebitcoin.comChris at 9:22, Jan 14: Your electrician here was wrong: "no, the cable needs to be 12/3 20amp 250v". Chris at 9:23, Jan 14: Trust me, if you have a device that requires a C13 it does not pull more than 15A Chris at 9:23, Jan 14: that is why you are not finding what you need Chris at 9:23, Jan 14: He is just assuming that since it has a 6-20 plug that it requires a 20A cord You at 9:23, Jan 14: ok... got it... so you're sure that this product will work? http://pduwhips.com/products/2121-computer-power-cords.aspxChris at 9:24, Jan 14: Yep You at 9:24, Jan 14: ok... that is cool. thanks for your help. Chris at 9:24, Jan 14: no problem --- so, Chris is correct, right? pretty much.. if you buy 2 cords each will be to 1 psu. the psu maxes at 1600 watts 1600/240 = 6.67 amps 1600/240 = 6.67 amps thus 2 safe s-7's with 6.67 amps to spare on that circuit no more outlets if you add 1 more out let you could do 3 s-7's and be pretty much maxed. one last thing make sure the breaker only runs to the two outlets you have. and no other outlets. unless you have the electric guy add a third to fit plug 6-20p. |

I can't see us doing 7.7% from now to July 3 it is still a factor of 2.8 so diif would be 113 x 2.8 =317
I just can not see how we can be at a diff of 317 and hash of 2.8 x 830ph = 2324ph
I don't think of it in terms of hashrate being a constraint, I think in terms of wattage... in my observation, availability of hardware doesn't seem to me to be the slowdown in the rate of growth; capacity for power does, since the megafarms are the ones driving total network speed now, and power/cooling are their primary concern when it comes to planning growth. Worst case: Assume half the network is .5 watts per gigahash/sec or worse, the remaining is .25w, and that all miners with .5w+ devices will be be turned off as unprofitable and replaced with .05w devices in the next few months. For the same power capacity, half the network goes up 10x, which means the whole network goes up 5x to about 4,200 petahash/sec. (Actually, it's closer to 5.5x, but I'm generalizing here anyway). That's the maximum power capacity of the current network in the short term. The restriction then would be the price of the sub-20nm devices we're being promised...if their prices are 5x higher than the .25w devices, there's no incentive for the .25w miners to adopt early by dropping their .25w devices for the .05w stuff. If their prices are less than 5x, then Katie bar the door, because there's going to be a race to the halving - and past it - like the widespread introduction of the first ASICs. If the exchange rate of BTC keeps pace with (or does better than) the rise in difficulty *after* the halving compared to the price they paid for the equipment before the halving, then the halving will be transparent to their bottom lines and it won't be a factor for large farm adoption of .05w devices. If the exchange rate doesn't keep pace at the halving, then network growth should effectively stop until the older devices are paid off. (Keep in mind, though, that it only matters to current revenue generation - miners that have a large stash of mined Bitcoins held in reserve will benefit much more to the rise in price, giving them even more power to grow immediately by adding .05w devices to their existing .25w farms.) It's definitely possible, then, to surpass your expectations - in theory. All that said, that is the worst case I see - I don't think there is actually enough manufacturing capacity with the existing vendors to deliver that much .05w hash in such a short timeframe. I personally think the non-manufacturer megafarms are waiting until after the halving to determine what risks to take next. I know if I had even 5% of the network, I'd be sitting on my hands right now hoarding BTC hoping for an exchange rate increase even more than it has in the last quarter... unless I was making my own hardware and already knew my cost for upgrading, then I'd be balls to the wall building more and more capacity in my farms. Poor us small potatoes, though...totally at the mercy of the hardware vendors deciding how much to mine for themselves and how much to offer for sale (and for what price). Lots of moving parts. Fascinating, and in some ways scary. I highlight that part. I come up with this idea if my power is 2 cents in China and bitfury has 4 cents in Russia Bitmaintech will build up to all the power it can get a hold of using .25 gear since at 2 cent power it is like .125watt gear. So I see growth but not 7.7% fo rthe next 13 straight jumps. Unless of course price goes up to 800+ If 230 to 430 price jumped us to a diff of 113 then a 430 to 800 price can jump us higher maybe to a diff of 200 or 250 |

Jul 27 current ½ ing guess
Why 27? bitcoinclock has it at the 17th now. I am not sure how they get the date. Are they basing it on 9% Are they basing it on 8% Are they basing it on 7% My July 27 is based on 0% My early July 13 is based on 7% So I am not so sure what % they use to get July 17 July 18th which I have on nextdifficulty.com is based on next difficulty estimate + 0% afterwards which is basically 0% minus one two days, the same as bitcoinclock has. So you must have something wrong in your calculations. edit: the simpliest formula halvingdays=(420000-lastblocknumber)/144 gives you when say last block was 393260 = 26740/144=185.7 days. Today is January 14th, + 185 days =July 17th okay so shift the 27 to 17 and the 13 to 3 and July 3rd if we do 7.7% average. I can't see us doing 7.7% from now to July 3 it is still a factor of 2.8 so diif would be 113 x 2.8 =317 I just can not see how we can be at a diff of 317 and hash of 2.8 x 830ph = 2324ph |

Hello everyone. I am new to the forums. I plan on spending some time here. Seems like a cool place. I'm hoping you can help me... see my post here for photos and details: http://www.BoiseBitcoin.com/I appreciate any advice you can offer. Thanks!!! BoiseBitcoin your electrician is wrong. (well a little bit) "Not wanting my miners to catch on fire or spontaneosly combust (whee!), I decided to ask my electrician if that power cable would work. His response was "no, the cable needs to be 12/3 20amp 250v". So... first off I have no idea what the 12/3 part of this means, but I believe the problem is that the suggested cable is 15v while the breaker is 20v. Is that the reason this cable wont work?"14/3 vs 12/3 wire the 14 is skinner then the 12 the 3 is how many wires in the cord the cable you have asked about in your blog is 14/3 15amp 250volt it can provide 240 volts x 15 amps = 3600 watts so it can run 1 psu with ease. as that psu only draws 1600 watts. your issues can be fixed a few ways. but I need a lot more info to help. lets go slow 1) first off you should have asked us before you installed with a pro as you may have did a bad setup. 2) you show us 1 breaker that is 20 amp for 240 volts or about 4800 watts. that is 3 psus' max 3 s-7's max 3) so how many 240 breakers are put in? 4) you mention multiple 240 outlets how many are there and if there are 2 are the 2 controlled by the one breaker? 5) if you have 3 240 outlets all to the one breaker you could run 3 s-7 's and 3 psu's with 3 of the power cables you linked us to. |

This was a great thread to watch.
I didn't have the BTC on hand to jump in but I'll start preparing for the next one. I already have one A6 (hosted). I could use a second and a RPi so that I can control both when I get them into the same location eventually!
I'll keep an eye out.
yeah I want to make sure this works well then I can think more about doing it a second time. |

Phil just to be sure, do you see my 2 sticks as 1 or 2 differents ?
http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.Jan11Valkir2stick works and shows {"hashrate1m": "7.33G", "hashrate5m": "7.97G", "hashrate1hr": "8.19G", "hashrate1d": "6.23G", "hashrate7d": "1.58G", "lastupdate": 1452793020, "shares": 248789, "bestshare": 1397695.1462792384, "bestever": 1397695} I only want your sticks on 1 address . I don't want multiple addresses. what are you doing with the sticks you have? Do you have another address? |
