Edit: nope, he all outta sMerits. No fellatios for me  I've still 70 left. Though being not a source, my demands are expectedly greater. (Who'd know that the merit system would turn into a sex slave trade.) 63 here. lemme know what you get offered so i can price myself accordingly. |

What's the longest time you have used an SSD for? I thought they were supposed to wear out faster than HDDs.
I'm pushing 5 years on my oldest one, and it has been flawless. Pretty sure I've never had a HDD last that long, or even close. My newest NVMe Pro is ridiculously fast. Friends don't let friends HDD  heh yeah i have an intel X25M G2 80 gig from 2009 thats still running in a notebook. 8 years, heh. beat the snots of it but it just will not die. i probably have a dozen+ ssds spread around my boxen, no failures yet. all OSs/data/games on ssd; spinners are for bulk storage (media) and backup (raid 5, then to offline). |

If a guitar player is immature, overplaying is sometimes just a lack of experience. If the player is insecure (no matter their age, especially if there are other good players present) sometimes they overplay as if it's a pissing match, and showing off. A jam, with a rotating cast of many is bad for encouraging this.
A gigging band should be tight, know exactly what is coming up next. No extra times around for an extra solo unless it is really happening, and the crowd is reacting accordingly Strong band leadership and rehearsal makes this happen. In a recording session, the producer is king.
One of the best guitar players I have ever seen has traveled the country several times gigging. He used to be in a band with Sheryl Crowe before she hit ("she wasn't that good, at the time", he says). Now he is a painter with a mortgage, wife and kids. He has a room of amps, another room of guitars. He says it is his 401k, but he loves them too much to sell any. He is a white guy, plays in an all-black soul band (and in several other bands), and in the soul band, he is magnificent. He plays a lot of our jams, and he is overplaying, arrogant, and way too loud on stage. The soul band has strong leaderhip, and he keeps it in line. In the jam, there is lax leadership. He is trying to be the biggest fish in the pond.
Music isn't a competition. It's all about cooperation. Any real musician's ears are far more important than his hands. sometimes, less is more. hate it when guitarists compete with each other. there needs to be definition between instruments and notes and it sucks when you cant tell the guitars apart, especially from a mixing point of view for live sound reinforcement and recording. me i just mess with bass and drums for a hobby. its fun to feel what you play. good way to keep wilderbeasts away from your house too. |

Forgot to switch off updates on one of my Windows machines and it downloaded some MS crap and broke my mining config.
I run DDU and installed latest Radeon drivers + run atikmdagpatcher but after reboot I'm getting only 16-17 MH/s on rx470 4GB.
I used to get between 26 and 29 MH/s.
Whats wrong? Also afterburner is not working anymore.
Mind that I flashed all 6 cards so theoretically I shouldn't need any afterburner tweaking. It seems almost as if the DAG issue is back for me.
edit:
Just checked in Radeon Settings, all cards are running on their preconfigured settings (1900 memory, 1090 GPU). Why am I getting only 16 MH/s???
driver set to "graphics" instead of "compute" in amd settings? |

//ZM-0.6 Win vs. EWBF-0.3.4b-BTG-edition Win//
DSTM's zm crashes more often than EWBF's with higher OC settings. With EWBF I can go with +100/+500 for a stable mining, but DSTM crashes after a few hours.
That is why you should stay with EWBF, at least for now. Many people complain about DSTM stability. And while it offers 2-8% increase in hashrate (depending on the cards) and a few W per card less power consumption, after subtracting 2% fee and constant crashes (you lose time on restarts) it appears to be less profitable than EWBF (at least for me). Been using it for 3 months straight and NOT ONE single crash. Get off Winblows and use a real OS for server purposes. been using dstm since 0.6 on win 10. no crashes. just keep sane clocks and power limits. its actually been more stable than ewbf with the same clocks/power limits. there is much more to a stable rig than the choice miner software.. |

Note: As the OP of this thread and the guy who has been supporting these things for years I am always concerned about changing the contents of posts. That can affect the accuracy of information which is why I leave all my research and notes intact.
If that data can be changed arbitrarially then I need to rethink using this as a source of record. Hm. Maybe we need a forum that is secured by some sort of chain of transactions, where each post is written on a sort of a chain of blocks and can't be modified after a certain point, by anyone. That would allow for a high degree of repudibility about the source of the information.
Any idea what we could use? I'd say some sort of block chain, maybe we can secure it with all these Titans lying around.
(And such begins another altcoin. Which is ok since this is in the altcoin section)
maybe something like copy the text of each post to pastebin, then post that link at the bottom of each post here. maybe sign it with pgp for good measure. dunno how long stuff stays on pastebin, never used it. or rent a web server and copy each post to that, again with a link and verified via pgp. |

ive not been effected by this.
when i set coinbase up several years ago i linked it to a new bank account dedicated ONLY to coinbase, just in case a hacker got in the damage would be limited. also in case coinbase went hog wild, which i never thought would happen but hey, lookee here..it did.
no way would i link my day to day bank accounts to an exchange. i keep very little fiat in the account and same with coinbase.. i transfer fiat in or out to buy or sell, then move that stuff out pronto.
oh, and no cards are linked to coinbase either.

love my onda b250 d8p v1. will never build a riser rig again.
some of those riserless boards have better slot spacing than others, the d8p v1 is very good with 2.5 spacing. i dunno how well a 2.0 spacing board will do cooling wise.
but the d8p with its 2.5 spacing will not fit in a server case whereas a board with 2.0 spacing would.
one thing i will always want in a riserless board is a socket for the cpu rather than a built in. just personal preference.

It seems the "old ones" doesn't understand what bitcoin is or the whole cryptocurrency. The so called experts are also old and calling all fud against bitcoin. Yet almost all crypto enthusiasts are the younger generation, mid 30's and below. There is the barrier. The technological gap between old and young. Give it a few years when we "young" are the old, then we'll see it flourish. Early 30's here. Steady. You will find in this august thread many fine gentlemen of the older persuasion. That said, you're right, it is hard for someone in their fifties or more to change their mental and personal financial model utterly to suit the demands of bitcoin. late 50's here. and when i heard of btc in 2011 i took to the concept like a dog to a bone. dont forget us old farts have seen how the government and banks play with money "for our own good" for a long time and many of us trust the government/banks even less than the younger generation. but maybe im an exception. lot of my friends around my age just dont get btc and wont get into it. but that may be because they generally arent a technology freak like i am. |

Why buy a HW cloner when you can do it faster with free SW? https://www.macrium.com/reflectfreeI have used this SW for over a year and love it. I use it to create nightly backup images of all of my Windows PCs to a backup server through the included scheduler. It can also clone any OS disk (including Ubuntu - nvOC) and even Windows Server if you boot from the PE image. If you want to roll out the same image to a bunch of machines, just create an image and then restore it multiple times. Hope this helps. yup ive used macrium reflect free for years. pretty much the same deal, all regular computers/notebooks get weekly image backups to raid 5 nas, and that is backed up to rotated HDs in my bank deposit box about once a month. nightly file backups are via syncback free to the nas. love it for mining rigs, once i change a miner config and know its stable i do a new image backup to usb. if something goes south when im messing with it i just reimage and its back up in 5 minutes. |

ouch. that would certainly put some hurt on gpu eth farms. most people were counting on eth not going away from pow for what, another year or so? |

ok stupid question time again.
what does "iT" stand for?? i see it all the time and cant figure it out from its usage.
With me its because of the stupid iPhone word correct.... make allways iT from it..... Damn Apple trying to take credit for the entire IT industry. lmao. ok, got it. i saw some "IT"s and some "iT"s so thought they were different. figures its a "iThing" |

ive sent the required kyc documents to coinbase, bittrex and Gemini. poloniex will be next.
i figure anything i upload will get leaked and sold at some point. thats just the way it is. computer security at most places is a joke.
i already had my info stolen from equifax so no big deal for some more stuff to be out there. i just put a credit freeze and placed a fraud alert at the 3 credit agencies.

Just switched from EWBF to DSTM this week and saw a nice 5-7% uptick in Hashrate on my 1080ti's
Better switch to bminer. You will be suprised i dont like that it keeps a channel continuously open to his server. until he explains more i will not use it. |

folks who are serious about security and hiding valuables certainly are not going to list example setups here, so i dont expect much conversation in this thread. just search online for what the security experts recommend. lots of good info to be had.
one thing though, an alarm and/or dog dont necessarily mean high value monetary objects are within, the most valuable things i have are my wifes and my lives. all the alarm system or dog does is give me warning enough to take appropriate measures. anything else in the house is considered expendable/replaceable.

That's nice you like those boards and risers. Calling the Octominer product a fail is a bit harsh, sure they might not work for your needs but each approach has pros and cons.
I have two riserless rigs (not Octominers but basically the same form factor). I'd recommend nvidia cards with them as they run cooler. Sure you're not going to run 1080ti's (ok hybrids would be awesome but that's going to cost a shitload) but cooling 1060s is no problem with 4 fans extracting heat and 1070s are OK with intake fans and smart heat management around the rigs. I don't miss risers at all on them.
If you are building a bunch of rigs riserless are less hassle too – plug in the cards, ram + ssd, connect fans and you're away.
i agree. i have a riserless 8 card board (not octominers but similar) setup and will never again use risers in a rig. much easier to work on, very stable. cooling is a breeze with 4x140s pushing air at them (open air rig) and its pretty quiet to boot. and depending on slot spacing (it varies per board) cooling 8x1080tis should be doable. mine has 2.5 slot spacing which is a plus, but that means it wont fit in a 4U chassis. but putting 8 monster delta fans in a closed case with a mobo with 2 slot spacing and 8x1080tis could be done (i believe, not seen it done but im sure someone will do it.. love to see that). air flow is king, force enough air through and you can cool most anything. if you can stand the noise of 8x 6000 rpm screamers.. perhaps i will be proven wrong though. whos gonna be the 1st to do it? heh |

...various redacted quotes...
Hi, Would you be able to quote here the links to some of the recent posts that got your a lot of merit points? I think that would be useful for everybody to see. I know i would be interested to know just click his user name (on the left of his post.. the name with the stats under it), this will bring you to his profile. then click "merit" it will show a list of merits received and given for that user along with a link to those posts. just click the link. |

This is totally off topic - but why did you name your company gekkoscience? I'm thinking you had the idea during on the beach in Hawaii sipping a tropical drink when a gecko fell on your head... Sort of like Isaac Newton and the apple...
i believe he mentioned it was based on the gecko pattern from the game of life if i remember right. could be wrong, if so im sure i will be notified of the fact  |

Jalapeno, owwww, you brought up bad memories..... Butterflylabs  aaaarg. i have one. but it was a very early one, ordered very early on the 1st day so mine shipped way ahead of most, so it actually made some fiat profit. lost in btc mined though. had one of their fpgas and that one actually made fiat and btc. the rare good bfl experience in an otherwise bleak landscape of scammed customers. yeah bfl was as deceitful and crooked as they came. imagine if bfl had survived. you think bitmain is bad.. man, nightmare city. |
