Any luck with the battery powered option?
Have not seen any updates on github since mid May.

Hi Dave, great timing. I have been in contact with the board manufacture and have received the new boards last week. Planning on doing the necessary software/hardware changes over this weekend and will post some updates then. How is your device going? Fairly well. For some reason every now and then it stops updating and I have to reboot it. I *think* that when the router looses internet is when it happens, I have to actually test that to verify. -Dave |

Since I don't have a way of checking how much power is going through the PCIe port I will have to hack some numbers together from the pull though the UPS it's plugged into. And the draw though the 12V rail of a power supply. Don't know how accurate it will be, but it will show a big overage like the one you pointed out (60 vs 145) no way it will show 75 vs 81. However, for now lets either table this or move it to a new / different thread because I do not want to derail this thread from what Jean_Luc is doing. -Dave |

It's at the 75W mark. NVidia's own specs don't have the power connector: From https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/gtx-1650/Maximum GPU Temperature (in C) 92
Graphics Card Power (W) 75
Recommended System Power (W) 300
Supplementary Power Connectors None With that being said, YES it's at the limit of the PCIe spec, but it's one of the best MK/s card at the moment. Also, and this might be a local thing but, where I live (Long Island, NY) there are a lot of local PC shops that have these 2nd/3rd/4th gen i3 / i5 machines (4GB Ram / old small slow drive) for well under $100 many at the $49.99 price point. So if you want a machine to run VanitySearch, that will do 500MK/s and not spend a lot you can get this done for ~$250. If you are worried about killing the PCIe slot or the fact that the power supply is old and might not stand up to it. You can get a spare PC and still be under $350. That is why I made a separate post about it instead of just adding it to the list. As with everything YMMV but still, I think it's a great deal. -Dave |

Just added the GTX 1650 to the list of cards: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5112311.msg50823897#msg50823897You get over 500 MK/s on a $150 card from Amazon. Not to shabby. ( link to the actual card I am using: https://amzn.to/2yevV7i ) What is *VERY* nice is no PCIe plug is required on that card. So you can run it on systems that don't have PCIe coming off the power supply. The one I tested is now in an old Dell core i3 machine that has the crappy stock power supply that had no PCIe. -Dave |

Phages Only Kill Certain Type Of Bacteria, You Need A Certain Type Of Phages To Cure A Disease.
For Example [X] Phages Can Only Kill [X] Type Of Bacteria, It Can't Kill [Y] Bacteria.
Unlike Antibiotics That Can Kill Almost All Type Of Bacteria, Therefore, They Also Can Easily Mass Produced.
Which is the big problem with phages. You have a head cold, you ignore it. You develop a sinus infection. Last year there were 5 or 6 (could be more don't remember) different strains of bacteria causing sinus infections. (yeah I got 2 different ones, lucky me) 1 broad spectrum antibiotic worked on both of mine (and most of the other ones too). Doing it with phages requires a culture to determine which one(s) you need. -Dave |

I put on a miner for a few minutes to move some blocks. I can't leave it on there as it will spike the difficulty. I'll see if I can get some sticks to put in place.
Someone seems to hit it with some hash on it then walk away for a while and then come back.

Just addnode your IP above, it looks good, connected. Now my node gets three connections for the first time.
Excellent. I am working on a new announce thread. I actually had one mostly done, but someone did a proof read on of it and commented it looked like crap, so I passed it to someone who does editing for a living and she agreed that it read like crap. So, I will start again, hopefully this weekend. Let me know if the node gives you any issues. -Dave |

Can anyone connect to 74.113.36.20?
Something is definitely strange, not sure what.

Many desktop/mobile application usually uses same practice, sacrifice performance/complexity for faster development to continuously satisfy customer with new features.
But it's horrible practice in this case since the application won't scale with complex hardware (multi-core CPU, multiple CPU, big RAM & multiple server).
I see that way to much. But, it's amazing when looking at the bloat how nobody cares about it anymore. The internet really broke programming. Now, somethings wrong you can download an update. 25+ years ago, you had to mail your customer a disc and that took time and money. It's also the possible there's bottleneck with other hardware (such as CPU, GPU or RAM), bottleneck with slow internet connection or the task performs is either CPU, GPU or RAM intensive tasks.
True, but you have not had a good laugh as a hardware guy until after telling everyone it's the shitty programmers fault that it's running slow; you update the hardware to the extreme, and it's still just as slow because they have no idea how to optimize their tables or fix the poorly written query. -Dave |

Another point to be made is how far do you want to "cheat".
I just did a test with an old scrypt coin with an Iquidus explorer that I am running.
The explorer and node are on a Hyper-V VM that is running off an average SSD
I wiped the DB and restarted, 1 GB of blockchain took about an hour or so to sync.
I created a 2GB ram drive on the Hyper-V server and copied the VM to it and did the same test. So instead of a "slow" SSD it came completely from RAM.
Under 10 minutes and done. I don't have an exact time, I was not staring at it. I figured I would check in 15 minutes to see how it was going but at the 10 minute mark I looked in and done. so ~ 6x faster.
You can hide a lot of programming things with better hardware. NOT an ideal solution but it can help you with your coding.
If you have a function that takes "X" time to run, then you do what I did you know it now takes 1/6 of "X"
If the next function you do takes "Y" time to run but running it from the ram drive still takes "Y" time, then there is another issue.
Just my thoughts. I am not a programmer I'm the hardware guy. But I have seen some things that were SOOOOOO badly written that 5 x the hardware did not make a difference in the application speed.

They have just released another update. The changelog indicates that they fixed a few bugs so it might now work properly for you. Did you reach out to the developers? No, it was a busy weekend. Going to try it tonight. -Dave |

And it's sold.
Locking thread.

priced pretty high, plenty 8gbs going for $75 on here
Sold a 4 pack for $450 last month, kept this one because I was going to "do something with it"....Which was keep it in a box 5+ weeks. If it sits here too long then I'll drop the price. -Dave |
