They will however deny your warranty for being stupid.
You dun ****ed up, you have no right to make someone else pay for your mistake.
I'm not OP, but wonder what do you mean by mistake in this context? IMO a properly engineered power delivery circuitry on a decent GPU would've survived a reasonable overvoltage mishap... In the end of the day these are just DC-DC stop-down converters and the good ones do have fairly wide input voltage ranges. BIOS mods are another story I don't want to touch with a 6-foot pole... If you plug a GPU into broken ass PCBs and blow them up, you have no reason to expect a warranty replacement on the GPU. If, for example, they did route the +12 into the 5V, yeah, that's gonna blow stuff up, and probably not something any GPU manufacturer designs for. To do so would cost an extra $15 per card, at least, so that users can plug them into poorly designed $6 risers... |

Why does it matter? You realize it will be prohibitively expensive right? So much so that any money gained from mining would be nothing compared to what it cost.
Hope you may realize that if it costs a lot (we still don't know), this will decrease the price of all "lower" SSDs. So yes, it still matters. Uh, no. It won't at all. This is a 12GB SAS SSD. They have been around a long time, this one is just bigger. SAS SSD's command their high price because they do stuff the crap we buy at newegg doesn't do. Like not fail, and recover data even when chips are really messed up. At this point, these are all just commodoties, and the price of the nand drives the price of the drive for consumers, and the price of the _feature sets_ drives the price of the drives in the enterprise side. The NAND manufacturers hate to sell bits to the spot market, so they all have efforts in place to build and ship higher up the food chain. |

Interesting project, sadly thats way too far for me. Similar endeavour in USA or Canada, I definitely pay attention for a business opportunity.
Here is plan and photos of our data center building. Now all is ready on 99%    Location:  Not sure what is offered here that isn't offered elsewhere, by companies that are established, with reputations. Power at $0.09 is not really competitive. |

My calculations are the same. This pool needs to hit 8 blocks a month for the payout to be more. 1.1% is a big difference if you are making a fixed amount per month but that is not the case. I understand we look back at the history but what history doesn’t take into account is the amount of new hashing power that has come online and will continue to drive the difficulty to the moon. We need to promote the crap out of this pool and start now. It is the BEST pool here hands down but we are not going to win anymore miners here until WE step up and make it happen. When it becomes unaffordable for the larger miners to mine here, they will slowly leave too. It is more than just money to some but eventually everyone will have a breaking point for one reason or another. I love this pool and you guys are the best but we need to get off our asses and come up with a solution.
Yep, this is a bravo mining in the making. |

This is the bitcoin mining section, you will never successfully mine Bitcoin with GPUs. The altcoin section is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0That said, if your computer is so old it has PCI and not PCIe slots, 1060 type GPU's won't work in it. |

This is why we cant have nice things. Someone always wants to complain about paying for a program that without their existence you would be mining away on Nicehash paying even more fees. Its a wonder developers even make miners anymore so people can find ways to hack them for free.
While I feel the Dev deserves the fee because they made it I must disagree with your final sentence. These guys are making money hand over fist, the amount of people who will use a "hacked" version is minimal. So it's not really a wonder at all. Actually, its why people who are developing now don't even share the good stuff. Think about that. |

All in all, I am glad to be mining here. I just wish that stupid red line would hurry up and get to the top.
I'm a relatively new miner here, and it took a long time before I figured out that red line has nothing to do with your ramp - It's just the average of the graph. Look at your hash inside the red band, that is pretty much your % ramped (how far you have your full hash rate through the red band moving right/left, not the red line moving up/down) I still have concerns (bad luck crossing difficulty changes and whatnot), but am keeping all of my relevant hardware pointed here and hoping to add more. For now, I mine on. |

I design ASIC's for a living. I implement them in FPGA before we tape out. (Not for crypto)..
The sheer volumes of memory bandwidth needed, and the costs, tell me that someone is smoking some seriously good shit. I get beat up over 64k of RAM....

You probably lost most of the potential earnings you would have gotten by waiting until now to actually power them on. Go read the speculation threads, ROI will take a long time right now.
You will need to talk to a CPA about how to structure an LLC for this, you are on the right track; I'd be sure to keep your bank accounts seperate, as banks seem to shutdown crypto related stuff at random.

I did adjust the voltage, even the Mac given error saying the USB device is drawing too much power, then after several adjustments the Stickminer a longer stable and no Mac USB Error.. but doesn't stay much and all of the sudden shows OFFSegment Fault: 11
is this a heat issue or am I doing something wrong?
Your mac does not have enough power to run this. GO BUY A GOOD QUALITY POWERED USB HUB. And don't run above 100Mhz unless you have a good fan figured out. |

Here is what I would suggest. If you try it and it works, you can tip me then...
1) Ditch windows, download ethos, run it. If it fixes your hash rates, then buy a license for it on gpushack. I have guys who don't even know how to power on a laptop building and running mining rigs with ethos, it just works. Plus you get remote monitoring built in.
2) Make sure you have good quality cables, using the 6 pin adapters, to your risers.
3) Try not to run the riser cables right next to each other, there can be cross talk and cause pcie bus signal integrity issues.
4) If problems persist, it's likely your risers, buy a different brand. I've used most of the ones for sale on newegg with good luck.
Hope this helps. If you have any questions or need help with your ethos config, feel free to pm

... even out ...
yup....
Pool size has nothing to do with Luck. It has to do with how many shares are submitted before a block is found. Must be that time of the week for DPoS2 to post  One thing completely wrong about his post is that luck isn't expected to even outIt is expected to approach 100% from whatever side it is currently on. Having a bad block doesn't make lots of good block come around to fix the bad block. Case in point, we just had an ~600% blocks and we've already passed 111% on this one. Large (enough) sample stats are all you can expect to give you a good idea of expected results. Kano, At some point, does the much larger network hash rate make the statistics not hold up? I have my junky miners mining on a couple of lottery tickets, but realistically, they will never return anything. It would seem that once a contributor gets too small, relative to the total network hash, then the frequency of the pool hitting a block is going to dwindle. |

Finally a block. Absolutely pathetic reward 0.0002BTC per day for an S9 running 24/7  I do hope we find another block sooner than this one or I will have to bail. Every day counts now as difficulty keeps ramping and more and more miners crowd the field and none of us can afford to run miners at a loss like this for very long. Bitter much? The block rewards are fairly small right now, this isn't the age of 16-18BTC blocks. Yeah, but a pool that appears to losing ground relative to the other pools is only going to increase variance.... I've ran my miner straight since 1/21 to get a 'reward' that doesn't cover power... Thats not why I mine, but this pool has all the makings of a death spiral if you look at the last 6 months... https://kano.is/index.php?k=blocks |

just stick to gpu mining you guys!
Do you even know what you are talking about? i3, i5, sure, GPU dominates. There are CPUs (Power8/9 for example) that crush 6-10 GPUS's on both hash rate and total power. |

Is that wood?
I don't see it reducing buildout costs much, if its not already weatherproof.

I've been mining on Kano since Jan 21st with a single S9, but my shift graph seems to have maxed out at 8.9, I thought the ramp was a couple of weeks? I'm sure I'm missing something, but if the ramp time depends on us finding a block, then it was a bad time to switch...  |

Maybe everyone will shutdown their miners to keep their homes formaldahyde free....  |

If you are using it for what it is intended, then it can't be mining during that time. IMHO, ROI will be measured in 10's of months for that rig if you use it as intended a few hours a day.

You can do it.
I'd suggest you look at what your actual hash rates are. hint: context switching is not effective mining time.

For people who ordered S9’s through Bitmain for January deliveries, have they been delivering? I purchased a eBay preorder back in November through a reputable seller for a January 25-31st S9 shipment from Bitmain. When I inquire about the status of the order the ebays seller says he has gotten no info from Bitmain so I am wondering if they are behind on their deliveries.
If this is not the right place to ask, please direct me.
My Jan 21-31st batch got delivered on my doorstep Jan 2nd. |
