7421  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ETH mining nearing end of life - When will you liquidate your rigs? on: March 25, 2022, 03:36:04 AM
This will be a non issue for me.

I burn 150 cards under 30 kwatt total.

so 30 x 24 = 720 kwatts a day that is 36 dollars in power a day. At a nickel a kwatt

or 36 x 365 = 13000+ cash for the next year.

All my cards are paid off.

and I have over 22000 in cash waiting for this issue to happen.

So my cards are covered for more than 18 months even if they just burn power and earn zero.

Any miner worth his salt should be ready for this to happen.

Btw The real question is what will AMD and Nvidia do if the turnover happens.

No one will buy cards from them for like a year straight.

BTW Good luck to all but I see at least a delay to Oct or Nov.

I found a guy in New Jersey/Long Island NY

He is a member here.

mindtrip

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=235982



He fixes all bitmain 17 models and bitmain 19 models


Here is his website.



https://vmssecuritycloud.com


I think  he could be good.


So far I purchased 2 repaired s17 pros

and I drove to his shop to give him 2 dead s17 boards.


I have 9 dead boards going to get them all fixed 2 at a time.
7423  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: need help trying to repair some T17+ units on: March 24, 2022, 01:54:51 PM


 Have some beaten T17+ 58t units
when connect to the pool I see only one hashboard working,
I opened them and changed the hashboards using the one that's supposed to work from each on one unit but when I turn it on
is only one board working again when I check the machine...
any recommendations on what I might be doing wrong much appreciated
 thanks!


the boards have serial numbers and will not mix and match from different cases.

If you are usa based I have a repair guy that may help you.

While they are working on Windows, they are developing their own Kryptex OS.
https://www.kryptex.org/en/
If you are used to nicehash, then why go to Linux?
Systems such as hive OS are more convenient for manual mining management.



HiveOS is ugly  Cheesy in my opinion. User interface is a pain, looks so shitty, no realtime GPU clocks -> the biggest problem.
Example:

RX570 set gpu voltage to 900 and memvoltage to 850 - if i check the check with amd-info it show me exactly this what i set - but in real the GPU run with 900mv and the mem run with 900mv, because it is not possible for the hardware to set different voltages  Cheesy

Why are no free Mining OS or something like this out there? Why no open source management system. This paying for a service every month is stupid.
Almost everyone I knew loves hiveOS not because of its look but because it works better than many OS out there but since you called it ugly what mining OS is your favourite?

I use AwesomeMiner with Windows and Linux clients. But Awesomeminer main application must run on Windows, but can be reached over browser if you want. On HiveOS i missing to much information in the overview, with Awesomeminer i can decide by myself what information i want to see.
Type in amd-info in hiveOS and it will show you the informations - but as i said - it show 850mv for the memvoltage, but thats not possible if vgpu is 900mv. You can change the voltage of the memcontroller, but this will give no benefit.


Windows - free Grin


Windows for me too for years, all smooth - knock on the wood Smiley
But I also use Ghost Spectre version,.... check it out Smiley

+1  Cheesy some rigs running for 5 years now on windows - without any updates  Wink Cheesy


Well get busy writing it and supporting it for everyone to use for free.  


Yes sure, but why no community project. Build an Mining OS together and combine it with coin maybe
or paying one time, to get a lifetime license like Awesomeminer in the past or the good old Ethos Cheesy


The next problem with HiveOS is - if the HiveOS Server gets problems, than you have a problem.
Client Server based application is better in my opinion, i want to have my software on my PC´s

well smos and hive can be accessed world wide.  I am in Howell NJ about 77 miles from my farm in Clifton NJ.

having smos to manage the gear is a god send.

I tried windows and anydesk and it sucked.
I tried windows and teamviewer and it sucked. if I was running gpus on the pc.

but anydesk is okay to run a pc and using the pc to run my  asic gear does work well remotely.

7428  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Imersion cooling project on: March 23, 2022, 03:34:33 PM
Mikey Would like to know more about vnish, was thinking to overclock using asic.to
my plan is to take them all apart and wash everything really good with iso propylic alcohol before put them in the liquid

Asic.to is vnish too, see vnish has many distributions, they all are the same, the difference is what you get from using one of the different versions, asic.to has a great own support for the firmware, AwesomeMiner lets you pay the monitoring fees using those built-in firmware fees so you don't have to spend more on monitoring license.

So all in all, it all depends on what would you need the most out of these "extra features", but Vnish as a whole is a lot better than mskminer IMO.

as for uploading images, use something like https://imgur.com/ and post the link here.

awesome!  will look more into vnish thanks for the advice


https://imgur.com/a/w9H702q


this is a link of one of my current farms set-up and trial for image upload, this is the typical set-up i use at the moment and works really good

some s19pro lt5 and t17+ there, will take some of the t17+s from there to put in immersion and upgrade to s19,
 if i am happy with imersion system will expand and use better asics for the job

thanks for the info!!

Nice video. How many units on each pipe?

Those pieces of gear push around 500 cfm each.

the feed to the main pipe looks to be big enough.

I am trying to figure if  the main pipe is big enough.
I am also looking to see if the main pipe has a pull fan on it.

I would think the big pipe can handle 4 to 6 units of gear max.

Dude.. stop being a sore ass beggar. If you don't have money, then invest in Digibyte ($0.02) and then wait 4-5 years till it reaches $1. Tha'ts like a 20x(or50x). And probably a 20x against BTCiTcoin as well. So divide 3.69 / 20 and see how much you need to buy, and in 4-5 years you exchange it for BTCiTcoin and you have your 3.69 BTCiTcoin.

Here, I'l do the math for you: 3.69 / 20 = 0.1845 BTCiTcoin worth of Digibyte that you need to buy. Then wait many years till it reaches 40 cents. Smiley  Shocked  Roll Eyes

*edit(): For 50x is 3.69 / 50 = 0.0738 BTCTC. Then wait till it is 1$.  Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes  Tongue

Agreed, DigiByte is CLEARLY the one to go for.








It has 5 layers of encryption and BTCiTcoin has 1.

You can mine it with your own PC (even now), because it has a diminishing returns based on processing power. So big mining farms don't work on DigiByte, and that means that 51% attacks don't work.

I'm always sceptical about any project, but I do keep an eye on the 'limited supply coins'. Like Litecoin, even Shiba but that one feels like an invasion of privacy.

I like coins that can say:  "I CAN F^CK SH!T UP IN THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEMS JUST WITH 1 LAPTOP!!" Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

The graph clearly indicates no one gives a fuck how great DigiByte is and no matter how many free handjobs people promise when you buy it.




If you take a look at LTC/BTC you will see that DGB/BTC has outperformed Litecoin.

Ltc+Doge mined via a L3+ purchased 2018 = whaling
much better than btc mine with 2 s9s purchased in 2018

I know as I made more with my L3+ gear than my s9 gear.

But I consider it less likely for that to happen then someone sending you the 3.69 btc

I'd give him 3.69 BTC if he ate my ass after I return from a Pancho's all-you-can-eat buffet.

Proves my point as I know you would give him the coin.

I am sorry to hear that capslock , the problems you have with paying medical bills. I hope it gets better, do not be afraid to ask your closest friends and friends here to send you a few Bitcoins. What goes around comes around they say Smiley i hope all pans out well man.

Regarding my request of 3.69BTC.. I really do not feel the need to explain that anymore neither do i want to. I am just over that.. Either it comes or it doesnt with a simple and kind request.

Anyway i hope it all pans out well on your side.

Well I would like the Founder of the shitcoin eth to personally send me 2 eth coins.

No more no less.
I would also like him to offer me an apology about those two coins.

But I consider it less likely for that to happen then someone sending you the 3.69 btc

I might not be the best PoS enthusiast but i'm definitely not a fan of Pow, today a new bill was introduced into the EU parliament named (MiCA) legislation, the bill lost votes but it had 28 votes, this bill says that All tokens to stay Legal must move away from the high energy consumption it currently has, I suggest all the PoW people to stop dragging BTC to the mud because of their pride and ruin the whole cryptocurrency movement. this is a dark point in the history for crypto people. Energy isn't free and Bitcoin uses lots of it. and we are playing Russian roulette because bills like MiCA will keep coming and oneday one will pass and it would be too late.

You are a troll or a moron.

Sounds harsh but it is essentially true.


I have developed:

 a  45 kwatt solar array
 a 115 kwatt solar array
 a 280 kwatt solar array

Mining BTC (and shit coins) are a huge incentive to develop solar arrays.

Rather than blaming mining for power usage. Simply encourage miners that use solar arrays.

Problem solved on so many levels it is a joke.

I would say really nasty shit to any one that is against properly developed mining via solar arrays.

This is not a debate it is simply trolls and shills for fiat and anti coins.

My disgust at main stream media is truly bigly larger than both of Trumps hand and feet combined.

I really will leave you with this.





this is a coal strip mine.  Basically a subsidy to coal companies as they are not required to fix it.

Simply make them build a solar array and use it to mine.

All pow problems go by by so long farewell

BTW sorry for insulting you , but I get so fucking pissed off whenever I hear or read what you wrote by you or anyone that is anti pow.

Yup, those U.S large players don't play around, while everyone is busy with all the shit going on in the world they are adding exa hashes worth of hashrate faster than we are adding tera hashes, it looks like 300EH this year isn't too far fetched, I can't imagine what is going to happen if BTC price takes another huge hit and drop to 20k or so, what will these companies say to their investors? I assume the money they are spending isn't theirs, so how is it going to be?

Or maybe BTC goes to 70k+ and the bull is back.

7436  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Monetizing Solar Power on: March 20, 2022, 11:43:32 PM
I have extra solar power, about 30 kW, in terms of panels and inverters.  Under my current power company tariff, I cannot sell them the extra power.  So I am considering mining bitcoin as a means of monetizing the currently free solar power.

On the property is a barn that  I can put the equipment into, which is clean and has 100amp 240VAC power.  The barn has gigabit ethernet in it, with a network connection.  I am reasonably computer savvy, network savvy and can wire up new power circuits.

The thinking is to start with an S9 which used is about $500, and then after enough funds are earned, to acquire a S19 unit.

I understand that productivity is a ever changing target, but it would be nice to have some production figures for s19 units today, as well as for a S9.  As near as I can tell, it may be impossible to make a profit with a S9, if one is paying even a nominal rate for power.

Is this a reasonable plan?  Where can I get reasonable productivity estimates for miners?

Thanks.



please post back.

Go to viabtc.com it will give you $ per th and BTC per th.

we are near 19 cents a th

so a 10 th unit is

$1.90 per 24 hours of mining

an s9 can be had for as low as 400 usd.

When you say you have 30kwatt to spare is that 30kwatt for six or seven hours of daylight ie 210kwatt a day or is it 30 kwatt total. over the daylight hours.

shoot me a pm I have a lot of info. i have multiple solar projects. and some s9s to help you test.
7437  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Just purchased an S9 Miner off Ebay and it has one heatsink missing? Still Mines on: March 20, 2022, 02:28:37 PM
Temperature is measured at very few points on the board, so any one individual chip could be smoking red hot and it wouldn't show up on the reading.
And while one chip can run without a heatsink, it'll probably fail pretty quickly. And depending on how it fails, it can be fairly meaningless or it can cripple the whole board.

Your point stands though that the backside heatsinks aren't nearly as significant as the chipside heatsinks for effective cooling, and in fact several are missing right up against the fan, by design.

yep they kind of form a v to channel the air.

its why i wanted to see photos of the boards.

if a heat sink is missing in that v shaped area he may get away with it.

if he is missing a heatsink on the other side he will kill the board.


there are some heat sinks he could fit that could help but with no photos i cant tell him what to do.

Amazing info!
Thank you philipma1957.

Unfortunately, The Merge will happen soon with Ethereum Consensus Mechanism so we won't be able to mine ETH with graphics cards anymore so in my humble opinion, buying graphics cards now is not a judicious investment decision on long term. When you look at all the other coins to mine, their daily volumes and market caps and sooooo tiny compared to ETH and most of them don't have real use cases (except to be an investment vehicle) that I'm pretty sure our mining profitability will drop enormously, I'm expecting maybe 50-80% drop.

This is why for the last 6 months, I have been studying Ubuntu Server and Rocket Pool documentations and started to run validators on the ETH beacon chain. It's the future, no doubt. It's crazy just on Rocket Pool, every day, big dogs or institutions (banks, insurance cies, hedge funds etc), are staking in average 2-3 millions USD of ETH value into the Rocket Pool protocol.


And and Nvidia have a lot to lose if eth goes full on pos.

I smell a hybrid system coming up.

Hi all

Just purchased another S9 of Ebay and opened it up to check/clean (most screws were loose/been opened) to clean before setting up and mining.

Board 8 has a heatsink totally missing YET it is still hashing ok??

How can this be? I presumed chips were all in series, so if one goes down the rest/all do??

I can provide any pics as requested.

Thanks




please photo all 3 boards front and back.

I would like to see what the missing heatsink looks like.

Oh I fixed the photo for you
