According to the calculator on http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com it would be very close to 10240 BTC at current depth. I see significance in that number.

Unless you have a very clean well, you might gunk up the heat exchangers. I guess I hadn't ever thought of using anything except for a closed-loop recirculated system.

Most of the folks I deal with build entire bedroom sets, kitchen tables, chairs, etc. for about 1/3rd to 1/2 of what you would pay for an inferior product from IKEA or some shit. But you usually have to drive an hour to get there, commission it with a good drawing, and wait a few months for them to complete it.

Losing.

FWIW, I have never been able to get a BFL with ufasoft to work on GPUMAX at all. It starts and runs and reports 100% rejects. The same software and miner works on other pools, and I tested with a working login from another rig, so I'm not sure why it rejects everything.

I'm not one (how would I be typing this?...) but I live near a few. What kind of stuff do you want? The ones near me do excellent woodworking at extremely competitive prices. You think it up, they build it.

Om nom nom a brand new space, a clean slate. Makes my mouth water. First things first: By all means, wire it up for 240V. All your existing PSUs will continue to work with it with no change in how your rigs work. They will additionally gain from 1 to 3 % efficiency by running on the higher voltage.

The largest expense will be putting in several outlets, but if they weren't there already, it shouldn't cost much more than wiring in 120v. Additionally, you may need to buy either new power cords with different plug ends, or new plugs to attach to the ends of the existing cords.

Remember that when using double the voltage, your amperage is cut in half. So, a rig that was drawing 10 amps will now be drawing 5. The wattage remains the same.

As for cooling: I am not sure of your location, so I don't know the ambient temperatures. How hot does it usually get in the summer, and how cold in the winter? What kind of cooling do you have in your existing locations?

Finally, 3phase power distribution is pretty much out of the picture in terms of wiring it directly to your rigs, although if it is available to the building that will allow you room for much expansion. The most common implementation of 3 phase power is a 480 volts, which you would need to step down to 240 volts with a large transformer (think about the size of a mini-fridge) for a full 200 amp at 240 volt panel.  Your local electrical contractor can tell you what you need and how much it will cost.

I was pretty sure it was hashesdouble=1, but that might require the extra warp coprocessor.

Very well said, sir. Also, I don't like fishy smells either.

I hate to break it to you, but it's not the world first.

Sorry, I block the newbie board and didn't see it. Probably others that do the same too.

Awesome.

Also what people don't seem to realize is that it takes big businesses to grow this thing. Sure he could buy from a "little guy" but how will that grow bitcoin? Having a large, established business accepting bitcoins shows to others that it is possible and that they should do it.

I like that name actually! Maybe you should contact SomeoneWeird and tell him.

Run a local proxy, and then you could point whatever you want wherever you want just with a few tweaks.

Epic, as ever.

I think what you have will work fine. The only reason I mentioned solid state relays is because they are reliable (no moving parts) and shouldn't require additional components such as caps. Anyways, the holding the power button option sounds sufficient for this application.

So if I understand correctly, you have modified the design specs so that the relay now holds down the power button for ~4 sec to kill the box, instead of switching the power? If so, what about +5VSB which stays on regardless? It may need to also be switched off in order to completely reset poorly designed boards.

Also, yes power switching is a bit more complicated, but I wonder how much extra solid state relays would cost. They do require some current to stay on however, but I don't know how much.

The price paid for rented power is a function of how much the miners are asking to be paid. If the ask is too low, then the buyers pay less, and everyone makes less. If people keep asking 0.00003, then the buyers will only be paying 0.000035 or 0.00004, and those that are asking 0.00005 or 0.00006 won't be paid at all.

If you want the buyers to pay 0.000055 or 0.00006 or whatever, you can't set your price at 0.00003, it just won't work. I guess it's a little harder for people to figure out since there are no fancy charts of the bid/ask and also since bid/ask functionality is severely castrated in the current software's form.
