yeah he was cranking it up he appears to be the first 1p + winner here from nicehash but I am not sure it he is a renter

nicehash and westhash front ends are down so i can not confirm if he rented from them.

I think a block was hit

your question is all wrong.  it needs to be where can I get safe reliable 3 to 4 cent power?

  current gear is .4 to .5 watts

s-3 gear is .8 watts

new gear even if it is .3 watts  loses out to s-3's at 3 to 4 cent power.  why is that?  it will cost 2 to 3 times the price of an s-3

play with this calculator

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator

if you understand the math you will see why  500k worth of s-3's in a 3 to 4 cent cost zone make sense.

I offerred to test it and return it to the USA rep.  They never responded. Other then the dog barking at my generous offer of 2 or 3 days of testing it at no charge to them. and returning it on my dime to I believe Colorado.

So no one has offered to prove if it is a platinum psu. or if it is not.

and yet to see any testing on this by anyone on any gear.

which shows the current state of home mining is pretty much dead at the moment.

66 blocks in the first 12.5 hours      we should make 75 blocks in 12.5 hours so we are down 10 for the day.

this is very good. we are close to certain to be negative.

we are down 31 blocks

1830 made should be 1861

I figure  (-1.67%)   as the real time number  not as good as bitcoinwisdom's (-2.71%)


but still very good.

sure works like this.  you are on the edge of safety and wires slowly warm just below detection levels.  So 30 days no issues but since you are just under the margin of error. the wire coating degrade all the plastics degrade.

Kind of like you pasteurize milk at 145 vs boiling it.

Or slow cook a steak at 145 f for 16 hours .  It looks pink yet it is cooked.

The plastics do the same. I have mined in house 24/7/1000   basically 1000 days in a row until last month.and Hurricane Sandy knocked me out for 3 days.

 I had issues like this with 14 gauge wire in walls and extension cords.  I have had more then one socket turn color.

A second factor is it is warmer outside and the home is warmer so all the wires get warmer.

171 on 5-17-2015  most about 95 of the blocks were last adjustment.  bitcoinwisdom still uses them for the guess in the future.

so above is 27 over norm of 144 for the day,  but only 10 for the 'real' count this adjustment.

143 5-18  -1        +9 running count
138 5-19  -6        +3
138 5-20  -6         -3
153 5-21 +9        +12
144 5-22   0        +12
110 5-23  -34      -22
145 5-24  +1       -21
141 5-25  -3        -24
144 5-26   0        -24
142 5-27  -2        -26
136 5-28  -8        -34
157 5-29 +13      -21

about 1776 made we should be at  1797   that = 1776/1797 =  0.9883-1 = -0.0116 which is

-1.16 %

as a real time number .

  which would make me the leader with 240 blocks left.

bitcoinwisdom does not have this  shift in their prediction.  in the morning we will know better.


with only 240 blocks left even if we finish out strong maybe we go to = +1%

14 gauge is the issue long (120 days) runs cause issues with them.  be careful .

back off to 400 and compare numbers.

then try 412.5 or 406

I maxed at 412.5

  425 is really good

buying shelving and running outlets are more gray.   since an outlet or a shelf can be used for more purposes.  it boils down to how reasonable you put down cash wise.  where the gear is located etc.
 30 s-3 or s-5  miners with psu's need   a setup area and extra power. more wires etc. shelving .  photos and receipts and you stand a chance to claim it. maybe 300 to 500 to wire and setup shelves.

2 or 3 miners with psu's  do not bother

Constant mining beyond 150 days your house and the ground under it start to act like 1 massive heat sink.

Turn all gear off for 3 days and check all outlets that = brown/yellow

 also consider some 20 amp plugs

white will show yellowing faster.

Lastly are your inside the wall wires 12 gauge?

all of the above are good psu companies.

well for a lot of miners summer is here.  My rates jump this monday from 13 to 16.9 cents  add in 1.1 cents for cooling and I am at 18 cents until oct 1.  this means no in house mining since an s-5 earns about 3usd in the next 50 days.

I have a small setup in a friends office 3 s-3's  at 3.5 cents.

other then this no mining for the next 4 months.   I can spend 2 coins a month for the next 4 months.  total of 8 coins I do not want to mine solo since  8 coins is meh. 

 but with 5 trusted people it becomes 40 coins  much better chance at a block or 2.

 screenshot was from a mac.

but the unreachable was the same as the one on the windows.

I will look at router settings. thanks. I fully reset router and it now works.

got an email notice and all. ping time is 200 ms I am interested to see if that improves.

It is now working

okay so you do not pay your power.  you are in High School.


 So your parents pay the  power bill?

If this is the case tell us the power company's name.  What  state you are in.

Here is why my state is New Jersey my power company is first energy/JCP&L   so my summer rate is 16.9 cents  cooling is 1.1 cents this = 18 cents.  No rig makes money at 18 cents a kwatt.

So if you are in a high cost area for your power and you buy a 600 watt miner everyone loses  money.

I have used:
 Seasonic 1200 plat
 Seasonic 1000 plat
 Seasonic    750 plat

I have used Evga 1300 g2
I have used Evga 1600 p2

And a lot of others.

the evga 1300 g2 is good gear.

 it has 6 pcie cables  4 with 1 plug and 2 with 2 plugs

you can do 2 single cables and 1 double cable to an s-5.

use a single left
a single right
and use a double on the left and right. 
  run at stock speed  of 1150 

then do the second s-5 the same way.
