39581  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Should setting up a mining rig at home always be profitable on: March 15, 2015, 04:23:09 PM
Just a question, I spend my time and money on various things, most of them have no real return value and money, if you look at it from a capitalist way is wasted, though some merchant might have the profits, I did not, just the sheer joy of the things I bought or the time I spent boggling my mind to do something. Like my webhost, I pay each year, but the site does nothing but host mostly my personal blog and some info, I do enjoy having my own domain and do not mind paying the money.

Could this work for mining? What if I set up a mining rig at home, just to be part of the chain? Just because I think bitcoin has a future and setting up a small non profitable rig does contribute to that future and has more of a hobby value to maintain the rig. Is that a bad thing?

Look if you keep a pc or mac turned on any way just mine a usb stick at a solo pool  cheap  as long as the pc was running anyway.

I mine 3 sticks 2 are double 1 is a single  about 9gh spilt over 4 pools including a solo pool.  low power low cost   and every single block I have a tiny tiny tiny tiny chance of winning plus the other pools I use actually pay some coin back. Not enough for the power spent but what the fuck  still  a chance at every block.

I thought in the announcement of the new boards they said they'd continue to build the old ones? Guess I'm remembering wrong.

you can get model b from amazon new in box.

I have one.

Was just looking for upgraded model 2 b for more power concept.

Also I am going to sell 1 or  2 of my 3 avalons and will supply buyer with a working rasp pi.  So I had to have a second working model.
39583  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Avalon4 with global shipping can be purchased here! on: March 15, 2015, 04:04:38 PM
I think I got a couple running around, can send you one.

thanks but I purchased one on ebay. If it is a dud I will pm you for one.

I actually like that this model b used the bigger sdcard.

Sooner or later I will get around to playing with the newer rasp pi quad
39584  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Avalon4 with global shipping can be purchased here! on: March 15, 2015, 01:51:22 PM
I made a microcard for the quad core new faster pi.  the card works fine for the old slower model B.  it does not work for the quad core rasp pi. So until I get an image for the quad core rasp pi  I advise anyone looking to run these to have a model b on hand.  no one has shown me a working model b plus or a working model 2 b quad core..

I didn't think they worked together but didn't want to say anything as I wasn't sure. I was really disappointed to find out that they didn't make them even remotely backwards compatible because it defaults the whole purpose of having "1" platform everyone works from. Now everyone has to start again and support TWO platforms, its silly.

well I have a nice new rasp pi quad sitting in its box waiting for a working image.

this is on rasp pi people not avalon.  I can return it if I want as it was an amazon purchase.

I will need to get an older rasp pi.  plain old vanilla model b  as a backup.  Also if I split the set of three avalons and sell 1 or 2  will need the second rasp pi.  I will post a wtb in the market place.

hmm philp , such , : if the diff near 0.00% like 0.22% or so i won ?

   No you have only 1 shot at winning 0%.

  Someone has the above and someone has the below.
 It pays double.  It is 25x harder to win then picking a range.

Since I know you had a lot of miners.
Could you tell me if the intel is louder than a SP20 or more like a Avalon4.1?

That will give me a idea.

Thanks

now it is just the psu.  It matches closer to the sp20 then the avalon 4.1
39590  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Unofficial Spondoolies SP20 thread on: March 15, 2015, 04:51:01 AM
i have a dead SP20E & a dead SP30.

both seem to be due to dead/faulty MMC(contoller) boards.

has the official thread been locked??

Ok so smaller and a lot cheaper but louder.
Good for server room or not in livingroom miner.  Tongue



the intel is not that loud the dell and hp are pretty loud.  but actually the intel he shipped to me is the first server psu I would consider using  in my home.

Down the road after all my testing I will keep it and use it.

It is pretty quiet and  it does do plat numbers.
39593  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: New Diff thread Mar 8 to Mar 22. on: March 15, 2015, 03:18:43 AM
Since a final list has not yet been made, I would consider guessing a difficulty decline of -2.51 to -2.75%

The whole DDOS issue is likely going to cause miners to effectively go offline that based on economics should not be offline

this may turn out to be the best pick yet

real time google is -0.98%

While this is a bit beyond my experience .  I did  get my model b rasp pi to work with 4 different cards including the microcard.  the quad core I got does work with the included micro card. anyone with a working image for the quad core feel free to send me a pm with a link.

the software included with the newer rasp pi works and the quad core rasp pi does work. so avalon need to build an image for the newer rasp pi

39596  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: I will be reviewing a new server psu+ breakout board. a few photos on: March 14, 2015, 10:16:05 PM
Yes it is within specs. of a platinum rating.  Thanks for doing this.... next up is the setup of the pi as a controller and how to log into it from away.
If you are up to it that is. 

doing the new rasp pi  for the avalon 4.1's will be for later in the week.

 remote logging and wi fi  are both possible in theory.  but that is a future review.



Hey pete what is the link for the intel server psu and the breakout board with some pcie cords.  they are a very nice kit!
39597  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: I will be reviewing a new server psu+ breakout board. a few photos on: March 14, 2015, 09:48:38 PM
Thank you philipma1957 for this great review.

I hope you make a review for 2880 server PSU, with some guide on how to soldering the PCI to the PSU with out the need for breakout board if this available.

Thank you.

I don't have 240 volt setup in house to do one of those psu's
I also think you really need that breakout board.

I will say this intel 1000/120 1200/240 server unit is really nice.

I am waiting for pete to post a link for a kit with the breakout board the psu and some pcie wires.

It appears to be perfect psu for the sp20e . This one is the platinum rated one. and at the numbers it is doing it appears to be a platinum psu.

it gives me 775 watts at 120 volts -----------------------------------

my  1200 watt plat seasonic gives me  758 watts  at 120 volts--  this is under .4 kwatts a day or at 10 cents it is 4 cents a day difference in power.

 the sp20e is doing 1327 gh  and 758 watts = 0.571213  watts a gh with the platinum 1200 watts seasonic

and intel was doing 1348  and 775 watts      = 0.574925  watts a gh with the platinum 1000-1200 watts server intel.

Based on this testing I recommend the intel server psu and break out board if the price is good. it will push a sp20e to 1350gh very easy and give nice  watts per gh basically = to the watts per gh the seasonic 1200 plat does.    plus it is queiter then the hp 850 was.


 
39598  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: What's the deal, miners? on: March 14, 2015, 09:43:26 PM



So based on the above, right now, if you think the price will increase, it may not be a bad idea to grab some inexpensive used hardware. Actually, about a month ago would have been the best time to do that, as there isn't much of that on the market right now.

I reached a point like this as of right now I have 4 miners in china at lees place = 4.6th


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=934581.0


I have 2  sp20e's and 1 sp20 in house                                                         = 3.9th

and I have 3 avalon 4.1's in house                                                              = 2.8th

total                                                                                                       = 11.3th

My winter power = 13 cents but the heat is worth 3 cents so 10 cents

My summer power = 16 cents add 2 cents for cooling =         18 cents

So my 6.7th in house will be reduced  no later then June 15th when rates go up.

Unless we jump a lot in price.

Most likely I will be selling another sp20e on ebay.  Most buyers here want low prices for a sale of an sp20e

39599  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: New Diff thread Mar 8 to Mar 22. on: March 14, 2015, 09:24:03 PM
With the DDOS attacks do you think there's people desperately trying to keep the difficulty down?

With backup pools I do not see this as much of a factor in difficulty.  At this point everyone should have fail over pool's.

I think it shows a bad trend seeing multiple get attacked for not paying "ransoms".  It is more of a pain and costs the pool money to fix, then it costs the miner.

I know I personally have not had a time where my 3 pools all are down.

 I think the s-5 can be ssh'd into 4 or 5 pools.

I think the avalon 4.1 can do 4 or 5 pools.

These attacks hurt Asic miner prisma + tube owners

I think a rocker miner is only 2 pool choice.

Sp20e have lots of pool choices.

You can also have the issue that rented hash gets fully lost.  see posts here.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=559011.msg10738471#msg10738471

this cost me about 0.03-0.04 btc but rentals were small.   be busy for 4 hours when you are renting 500th for a day and find you lost a whole btc in hash due to ddos attacks.

His website isn't showing platinum pkg. let alone other server psu's.  Is this available just through the forums?   Huh

not sure he  gave me zero info on pricing just shipped me the gear.

Straight up if he is selling the intel model in the photo does 1000 watts at 120 volts and 1200 watts at 240 volt.  it is very good.

I would recommend it  as a buy if it was cheap.  It appears to do gold or plat numbers and it is quiet.
 

This will be the psu


http://www.plugloadsolutions.com/psu_reports/INTEL%20CORPORATION_DPS-1200TB%20A_1200W_SO-379_Report.pdf


Gigampz platinum kit...  will include the psu and a new breakout board. run 2 sp20

the intel is 1000 watt 120 volts 1200 watts 240 volts
