glad youre feeling a bit better.
when on massive antibiotics taking probiotics can sometimes help with your guts functioning..
btw if this is your volume of typing while under the weather.. well i cant help but wonder what kind of keyboard you use when youre fully up to speed.. is your plank water cooled by any chance? or do you just replace em when the keycaps melt off from the friction?
anyway looking foreword to more info on your project, and wishing you a speedy recovery.

2. Wished I had a small air compressor thing instead of buying these damn air sprays. I could had done more cleaning but I ran out of air spray. Any suggestions?
any cheap pancake style will work, you can get then under a hundred bucks easy on sale, and they come with basic attachments including a blowgun. only down side is they spit moisture every so often, just watch out for that. havent used canned air in years. something along these lines, only mine is a bit smaller (a craftsman 120 psi 2.5 gallon). http://www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Cable-3-5-Gal-135-PSI-Pancake-Compressor-PCFP02003/203254365all you need is 100 psi, believe me thats plenty pressure for computers. thanks vapourminer -- this is great. I will look out for it. I wonder if there is a computer specific - air compressor - even smaller than 100 psi. not sure if they make smaller ones but with those pancake compressors you can dial the psi down to whatever you want. 120 psi is just the max mine can do i can set it to 5 psi if i want. |

It absolutely would. ReLive drivers don't play well with mod BIOS. It put back the whole signature mess. DONT USE IT.
If I recall .... its because of this signature signing mess that prompted me to use smOS ..... I sleep better now with Linux. If you ask me.... I dont even know what the most recent version of the Crimson driver...  gotta love the relive drivers.. NOT. i have a strap modded 470 and tried the relive 17.1.x driver. installed to the end with NO error message but didnt actually install the driver. like wtf?? least it could of done is toss a message saying "driver not installed". back to 16.10.x for me. |

@ vapourminer - Square D makes a good one too. I can have this side mounted as well but it would require drilling thru the metal panel which I don't want. The wires are very short and won't reach top. My Electrician assures me it's high quality and I don't need to look at it daily. He said he will be happy to come open the panel and check for me every quarter if it makes me happy. =)
@yun9999 chose the square d as my electrician recommended it. it has 2 green "Im OK" lights on it visible from the outside of the case, if either goes off its time to replace the MOVs (which are user replaceable). my 200 amp panel has no real room in it for an internal unit, so.. i love the whole house suppressor bit as it also protects my 220 v hybrid hot water heater (air sourced heat pump based) and my 220 v geothermal (ground sourced heat pump) system. [bit off topic follows, unless you will get backup power in your setup) also put in a 7000 watt generac transfer switch to go with the 8500 watt key start briggs and stratton generator while we were at it. peace of mind is worth it. winter gets COLD here in the northeast with no power. not to mention having A/C in the summer when the power drop out. we have several power failures per year here, some several hours long. thats what we get for living in the sticks. best part about the generator and transfer switch: my wife can switch the whole thing over safely start to finish with no help needed.. no risk to her or linesman working out on the poles. |

Those superbpag hubs are not great for high power usb miners.
They'll power em for a while but overheat and commit suicide
whats "high power?" i ran 5 compacs at just under 2 amps each plus an artic usb fan for months. did have the artic fan partially aimed at the hub as well as the sticks. |

 It's recommended to purchase a 50AMP breaker for your Panel where this Surge Protector connects to. It's also best to have it connected closest to the Main power feed. I had to have a few breakers move in order to support this. My outdoor panel interesting, my square d whole house suppressor is in a separate box that mounts next to my mains panel. it also has replaceable MOVs, as well as connectors for my phone and cable. |

I think one of my prized possession the ultra dependable EVGA-1600-G2 is showing the symptoms of death...
After slightly more than 1 year of non-stop 24x7 mining, had to reboot this PSU yesterday... started the rig and a second later, stops... and comes back alive again, then stops repeatedly.
I had to shutdown the whole rig (6 x R9-Nano powered risers, Asrock H81 BTC, 8gb, 120ssd, smOS) - unplugged power cord/point and left it over night.
Today... no luck. Same thing.... starts-stop-starts-stop-repeatedly. Power supply and cabling should be OK since it was working for so long.
Anyone had this experience before?
I hope the remedy is just changing the power cord or re-seat the RAM of something... otherwise this will be my first RMA out of the 9 units that I have in the farm.
The other rigs uses EVGAs 1300w-G2 and 1000w-G2.
i would stat by pulling all psu connectors (both ends if modular) and inspecting them. corroded or dirty pins can be a problem but i cant see just that power cycling the psu, usually shorts do that. but cant hurt to check. of course reseating all mobo components is a good idea too. |

nice find! those blank usb sockets look perfect for direct wiring +5v/gnd from an old atx/meanwell /whatever psu with the data/ground wires from an old usb donor cable wired in. no worries about melting crap 28 gauge usb power wires there. |

Here is some information for some of you that may help in determining Electric Cost, Profitability and ROI (return on investment) instead of using some of those automatic calculators online. Just substitute your values for the values given below:
Base Information:
Cost for the Rig: $1628.07
Gross Profit per day: $7.42
Usage: 900W at the wall
Calculation for Daily Power Usage and Cost of Electricity:
Electric Cost = $0.12 cents per KW
900W / day = .900KW
.900KW x 24hrs = 21.60KW
21.60KW x $.12 = $2.59 per day for the cost of running .900KW of electric.
Net Profit:
$7.42 Gross Profit - $2.59 Electric = $4.83 per day
$4.83 x 30 days per month = $144.90 per mo
ROI:
$1628.07 Cost of Rig / $144.90 Net Profit = 11.24 months ROI
REMEMBER: "It's about the Profit; Don't get Lost in the Challenge."
I hope this helps someone
i actually started a spreadsheet along these lines. just looked up difficulty and price per coin every few days and plugged the values in. already made roi so it just helps to figure out what to hodl vs what to put towards electric and or more gear. |

You can use the -dbcache=<n> startup option to increase the speed. IIRC the default is 300 mb, but you can set it to much higher so the reindex will go much quicker if you allocate it more RAM with that option.
gave it dbcache a value of 48000, disc queue value went from 1 to 5 on the blockchain ssd and read speed went way up. so it definitely seems to be doing something. thanks! |

using core 0.12.1
my computer locked up on a blockchain sync (it was behind a couple days). fired it back up and got a database error. so now its reindexing the blocks on the disc.
this seems to take a LONG time, its already been a couple hours and its maybe 1/5 of the way through.
i have a 3570k @ 4.3, 12 gb ram and the blockchain is on its own dedicated 256 gb ssd.
so the question is: is this speed normal? I seem to remember reindexing going a lot faster in earlier versions of core.

yes it is easy. it is not prefect as it prevents surges passing through the panel into your home but the surge started in your home it does not help.
outside >>> panel >> whole house protection >>>>>> all wire in the home
So if some how you do something wrong in the home no protection since the surge is on the unprotected side .
a really big UPS in side your home that fails can do this.
how would the ups malfunction in such a way as to put a surge on the house AC line? btw i have a square d whole house surge suppressor. |

this is a spreadsheet game, how's your excel?
excel? i closed my eyes, poked the screen and picked the number my finger landed on. phil made it easy by listing the numbers  |

that floor intake is nice, but what happens when snow is higher than the floor of the shed?
Then you move to Houston where I live and you don't have to worry about Snow. =) yeah that could work |

Plz some good working " bat file " on Suprnova pool with new genoil
this is what i use for my 470.. miner is version 1.1.9 set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0
set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

phil, only you could turn something bad into something fun. feels strange betting on bad news though,

those solid usb bridges were nice but they would be specific to a particular hub and useless for all others.
what might be nice is a simple circuit board with one usb plug/socket on the board and then a pigtail cable for the other usb plug so the board supports the miner and the pigtail plugs into any nearby socket.
that way the miner is supported instead of flopping around, it gets extra power and it can be used with any hub.

Nobody probably cares if he sits in prison for 5 years.
lots of scammed folk may disagree with that. money is just money (although any recovered from fines/repayment would sure help the victims). prison would suck. a LOT. might make some wannabe scammers pause. well, for a moment anyway.  ps i didnt go anywhere near gaw stuff and i would like to see him in jail. plus a nasty fine. |
