I have both.

Server cases are better.

But they cost more.

The room size means a lot.

The bigger the room the less need for server cases.

Hot massive cards like server cases.

I have a new shelf set up

it does lower maintenance a bit since no case is buried in stack of three or four.


the shelf setup is 90 inches wide and 24 inches deep

three of them allow for

48 cases and 12 L7 Ltc miners

use about 140kwatts for this mine.

when done it will be 270 inches long 24 inches deep and 72 inches tall.

or 22.5 feet by 2 feet by 6 feet

or 7 meters by .6 meter by 1.8 meter note 📝 i rounded to meters in my head i could be off a bit.

Ah don’t hate a guy cause he was born in the ‘wrong’ country.

He also said he does not want investors.

What does interest me is if Russia 🇷🇺 declares martial law and shuts the net down will hash rate drop like a mofo. at the moment hashrate is way down.

I suspected the Ukraine 🇺🇦 has had major net and power outages which may have put many miners off line.

If Russia decides to cut the net off will its miners be cut off?

Will China 🇨🇳 help the miners in Russia out?

This war may finally be a real test for BTC.

Will Btc become a free world coin ?

Now This is not politics per say. I am not taking sides here. I was born in USA 🇺🇸 and served in USN.

but I have been around long enough to see the patterns of war. Mostly rich motherfuckers manipulate the masses to get richer.

Yeah I can think of at least five or six on the list that are very good people.

they range as low as 105 and best is 121

the evga kingpin hybrid is the best i have
the evga ftw3 hybrid is second best

the asus strix is third best
 all of them do 115 to 121 the strix likes 305 watts

I have eight air cooled evga ftw3 they do 108-112 at 280-290 watts

I have three gigabyte they do 105-108 at 285 watts

I have 1 zotac it does 102-105 at 290 watts

none will do much over 120 to 122 do matter how much power with good cooling

they all run better just off the high hash and high power

ie 280 to 305 watts depending on which card.

I have 16 or 17 of them.

would i get more.

yes but I am waiting for 56 rtx a2000 cards once they come i will look into more gear.

Yes especially if he gets proper cases.

A 3090 will do 108-115 mh in a good case at 285 watts.

If you look  around you can find 3090's under 2100 usd

so 8 in a minerdude case is about  8 x 2100 = 16800 + 1000(case) = $17800 for 850-900mh doing about 8x285=2280+170 = 2450 watts an hour or 60kwatts a day


so 60 kwatts a day at 5 cents = 3 dollars power

and 850 mh earns about 34 a day

so 31 net a day =  11,315 a year

or 31 x 580 = 17980 after 580 days.  not great but the 3090 have 3 year warranty and 580 days = only 19 months

Maybe there is a large mine or two that has been shut down.

Or many mines are off line due to the attack on the large Nuclear Power Plant

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-03-04/ukraine-nuclear-power-plant-attack-what-is-putin-thinking


this power plant does 5700MW

say 10% or 570 mw is mining spread about the country that would be 172000 s19's
or 17200 ph or 17.2eh eh that Is around  8.6% of a 200eh network

kind of matches that the power plant is off line. Maybe?

 the correct quote:


' For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.'    from the Bible 1 Timothy 6:10

 which means this in modern English:

the love of money is the root of all evil = correct

not this:

money is the root of all evil = false

Ie: I do not love money I will not harm people places or things on purpose to get more money

Ie : I love money I will hurt people people places or things if I get more money by doing it.

franky1's idea that staking an ln node makes btc a pos coin has some merit.

In a way it does make it a hybrid pow/pos coin.

As a miner looking to use mining profits to build solar arrays I fear the ln network could be harmful to mining.

Is franky1 a strong believer in his idea yes does his idea make some sense yes.

Since ln was created and implemented we have lost the over crowded mempool which makes rewards as high as 1 or 2 btc on a 6.25 btc block

and we are stuck in a 30k-70k slot.  I used to think having the huge reward times was a boost for btc price growth. That is now lost to us.

Time will tell if LN network stalls the growth of btc price. If it does then doge with the steady block size  but decreasing % of growth will proof it to be the better two coin.

I have a lot of thanks to both Danny and Franky for letting me think more about btc and mining in general.

JJG has made me do a $50 a day dca buy of btc I will continue it for this year.

I am primarily a miner. I have a partnership with edit sp ; (forum) member buysolar.

And BTC mining much like a hammer is a tool to create or a weapon to destroy. Depends on how you use it.

  With a partner like buysolar it is obvious I employ mining to create solar arrays. My goal is creating wealth that is green based.

franky1 has a very interesting take on the LN network he could be correct he could be wrong.  I read all his points and decided to be more diverse than being a BTC purist ,

Thus my partner and I mine BTC,ETH,LTC/Doge.

franky1 has pushed that BTC is more of a POW/POS coin due to the LN network this is a solid observation and I agree with it. But unlike franky1 I do not know if it will kill off btc down the road.

so I have the other coins.

Doge with its descending inflation rate is an interesting compromise that franky1 and another person in the wall thread helped me to understand why mining doge and btc is correct move (in my opinion)

doge year 1 = x coins
doge year 2 = 2x coins 100% inflation
doge year 3 = 3x coins   50% inflation

onto

doge year 10 = 10x coins
doge year 11 = 11x coins  10% inflation

onto

doge year 25 = 25x coins
doge year 26 = 26x coins  4% inflation  in year 26 of doge I will be 80 years old


point that I make is doge has solved the ½ issue by creating an eternal decrease of inflation

So some days I feel doge will win out over btc since btc will run out of coins and rewards will be too low for mining due to LN or pos steals the fees.

other days I feel btc will simply soar in value solving all issues.

A lot of this thought process is due to me reading franky1 attack on ln


JJG is not unsung. He also give decent advice on investing your $$ into btc

dannyhamiltion is a good guy he is the main reason I ended my signature earnings as years ago I would take the coins earned from my signature and give them away in the mining section.  I gave away 3 or 4 coins total from the signature money and 6 or 7 coins from a member that sent me the 6 or 7 to give away.

now I know 11 coins sounds crazy but they were maybe 400 a coin then and the prize was .1 coins every 2 weeks.

I am in disagreement about the 3090's they will work fine but must be set in a proper server case.

I have the following cases.

https://minerdude.com/product/x12012022/

the above case while have 12 slots spaces 3090's too tightly if you buy this case and do 5x  3090's in it with smaller cards it will work fine.

https://minerdude.com/product/minerdude-x12-xtreme-12-gpu-smart-mining-rig-200-277v-only/

the same with this case

I have one with 4 rtx a4000 and 5 3090's zero heat issues.

David from miner dude

now offers this case below it will do 8 3090's with proper power and spacing along with cooling

https://minerdude.com/product/minerdude-x8ultra-plus/

I have yet to test it.

It is shipping to me as I type. I plan on putting 8 3090's into it.


At the moment I have 16 or 17 3090's

I prefer the rtx a5000

https://www.provantage.com/pny-technologies-vcnrtxa5000-pb~7PNY922Q.htm


but they are costly. they do 100mh at 230 watts and are a blower style card

next is the rtx a4500

https://www.provantage.com/pny-technologies-vcnrtxa4500-pb~7PNY9242.htm

they are costly they do 85 mh at 185 watts blower style

both of the above fit and do 12 cards in the 12 card case.

below is a rig with 11 rtx a4500 and 1 rtx a5000
it is my best rig

Okay some generators put out a square wave and not a sine wave

and some psu's are fuck you I want a sine wave not a square wave approximation of a sign wave.


And a 1200 watt psu  running against a 1400 watt gen is not good.

more like use a 2000 watt gen.



https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093RB5XH4/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?


the one above is a 2000/2300 and is sine wave rated

it is likely the bare minimum you need

"About this item
2,300 Peak Watts/ 2,000 Rated Watts
Capable of up to 6 Hours of Operation at Half Load on 1.18 Gallons of Fuel
Compact Suitcase Design, Weighing Less than 47 lbs for Easy Handling

the key points are
1)stable sine wave tech
2) 2000 constant 2300 peak watts


I have this gen below

https://www.amazon.com/CRAFTSMAN-Craftman-1700-Inverter-Generator/dp/B07P5XRQPR/ref=sr_1_3?


it is pretty much the same as the ford it runs just about anything up to 1200-1300 watts

They could shut the internet down using martial law.

Which would severely lower internet access it would be the real test for BTC.

and the new jump is done






so diff dropped from 27.96t to 27.55t

price is up a bit.

the Russia vs Ukraine war is still on.

maybe this ends soon. With things going back to normal rather than Russia going old school and declaring martial law against it protesters. I read in yahoo that Russia may cut off the internet not sure were the world is going but maybe cooler heads prevail.

yeah just grabbed 2 more miner dude cases.

That makes 12x 12 card cases.

We hope to get to 200 cards by July 1

We are at 130 maybe 145 cards right now.

US and Europe have done a fucked up job for around 500-600 years.

Maybe China will do better. 

to mine solo realistically (ie a block a day) takes 2eh

2eh is

20000 s19's!

  2000 s19's = 200,000th or 200ph
    200 s19's =   20,000th or  20ph
      20 s19's =     2,000th or   2ph


so at 8500 a unit 170,000,000.   170 million in gear

and 70,000 kwatts an hour  or 70 megawatts an hour.

so at 4 cent power it is  2800 an hour which is 67,200 a day in power to hit about 1.2 blocks a day and you laid out 170 million in gear

so 1.2 x 6.3 = 7.56 coins a day 332,640 comes in and you burn 67,200 = 265,440 daily  profit  or 96.8 million a year

and that means your did not pay off the s19's n a year.

with fee free mining

I just ordered 20 more rtx a2000 at 508 each.
I have 36 due in march.

grand total of 56 cards.

Ahh they fucked it up bigly.

They could have sold a 45th machine that does 20 watts a th. (down clock)

listed it at 1500 usd and flooded the market.

Oh well.

instead another 3500 watt hog that is not quite as good as the s19xp

Yeah WTF is the titanium plate treatment?  I have a few ideas but do not know what bob did.

A bunch of rich motherfuckers playing the arms game.  This goes back in time for centuries .
