I'm happy.  Just checked.  So, if the award btc value is more than current btc prices when payout is taken, and one takes btc rather than JPY, one should get more btc than was lost, correct?

At 32 minutes, 1,129GH/S(avg), HW 5, 52°/58°, fan 3960.  I think it's fine.
94 minutes, 1,145GH/s(avg), HW 5, 51°/58°, 3960.

Couldn't just watch TV and wait until tomorrow.  Removed the broken diode and replaced it with a small signal diode, 1N4148 probably, unmarked.  Fired it up just now and have both chains, all 60 ASICs, but chain 1 is running at 49° and chain 2 is running at 61°.  That chain 2 temp seems hot.  I have a second fan on the back driven at 12v.  Okay, just shut it down as the Dell server supply has a voltage too low and am going to other supplies.

Okay back up and temps are 51/57 but will see in a while.

Took the old board out, inspected, D102 appears damaged, got knocked somewhere.  Will address tomorrow earlier in the day.

So, postage and repair costs, with the other hashing board going bad, has eliminated any savings I would have made this winter using electric (miners) instead of propane to heat my home.

Interesting.  Over time the 20 x's increased to 26 x's.  Anyone seen anything like this before?
---------------
Shutting down, swapping ribbon cables, waited, started it up, 19 x's.
---------------
Shut it down, removed first hashing board, cleaned thermal paste and reapplied as well as a quick clean of the topside with brake fluid.  Back in as secondary, now showing 22 of 30 ASICs but after a minute they're all x's.  So, no gain.
---------------
Just to be sure I wasn't mistaken, I shut it down, put the fan on the other side, ripped off the sticker, flipped the controller board to the other side, and only connected the old board that had been working yesterday with nothing to repaired board.  It's showing a chain of 16 ASICs, all o's but it's only been a little over 3 minutes since firing it up so I expect to see x's soon as there's no hashing going on.  5 minutes, 10 getworks, zero hashing.  Will ssh in and /etc/init.d/cgminer.sh restart....resstart shows 'Have bitmain-asic 7'.   Now it's 17 ASICs on the GUI, all o's, but no hashing.

Yes

So a repaired board good and a good board gone bad, no gain on the play and a cost of ~$75.

Putting the repaired board on the side with the 4 wire ribbon cable and no power pcie connectors to the older board I get chain 1 showing 32 o's and am getting 582.48 GH/s.  Shutting it down, adding power to the long time good board, I fire it up after 2 minutes cold and the long time good board is showing as chain 2 with 20 o's, no x's.  After 6 minutes the 20 o's of the older dependable board has changed to all x's which agrees with an earlier test where it was the only board, showing 20 o's no x's but wouldn't show any hashing.  So, my old board has gone bad.  When I had it apart I brushed it off and hit it with compressed air.  Will have to give it a good cleaning and see if it improves.  But the board I had sent for repair, clearly marked with a sticker, is working well.

Found time today.  Repaired board in, fired up, it runs fine but my first good board is coming up short, only 18 o's showing on that board no x's, suspect a power supply issue.

Opened the package and it's the same board I had sent for repair.  Will test it later.

Board arrived today.

I know.  The name order confuses me too.  Had a friend, chess player, Hshaun Kuo Yu, called him Kuo.

Busy, and it was warm today so the board is still in its shipping box.  Who knows, perhaps when a farm S5 goes half bad they retire it then send out the good side as a replacement for a fee (only when a board is available) but officially not still repairing the boards.

Ah, great.  UPS shows a delivery scheduled for tomorrow, Monday.  I was wondering what would happen if the hashing board were mailed without tracking to my home.  Having a fence, UPS sometimes doesn't deliver, returning the package to the office instead of just leaving it inside the gate.  Without a tracking number I couldn't request email updates.  But, having my name and email address on file, UPS looked it up and sent me a notification!

All of us WWII baby boomers ('45-'50) probably wondered why the immigration quotas weren't working and that demographics that effected us personally were changing.  I have a couple of theories.  1. The US economy was the largest followed by US foreign investments after WWII as the major industrial areas of Europe and Japan were leveled and had to be rebuilt with American loans.  The US economic powers that then were, needed a US presence in other countries and didn't want to set an example of seriously blocking immigration regardless that the rate changed demographics.  2. The US southland treating black badly drove them north and having lived being treated criminally and denied decent education were prone to crime ruining major northern cities (I was born in Brooklyn).  So, the Vietnam war was truly racist to punish southerners (priding themselves as warriors) and blacks.  Meanwhile there were low-incoming housing projects like on Long Islands gold coast (who in their right mind would put projects for poor blacks in the domains of the very, very wealthy old money families?) which I think was to promote a less aggressive prosecution of anti-Vietnam war protesters (Vietnam a racist war).  Now you had black housing projects where previously the minorities were black families who served the wealthy and were/are quite nice, and Italian immigrants.  The non-project landlords, like the Italians, made it very clear they would house Latino immigrants and fill their minority housing requirements with Latinos.  So, the real estate and housing lobbies saw the increased population pressure and rising profits, so did banks.  

Or a spurious argument that the Dark Web didn't exist before President Obama.

Can you imagine if the Dark Web were brought up during a Democratic/Republican debate?  There'd be a pissing contest as to who'd attack it the most effectively.  Bitcoin will be hurt.

I suppose it would be possible for it just not to be brought up during the campaign especially if there were plans to attack once a Republican is in office.  Chips would be called in and he'd hear You owe us.

Shall we differentiate between the internet and the world wide web?  The earliest days of the internet had been university sharing of US Department of Defense non-secret data I believe.  Then there were connected servers allowing access but no privacy - one could log in and go up a few directories and into others' directories and read everything that wasn't nailed down tight unix permissions.  The idea of privacy really wasn't respected at the server level until about the time of commercialization.  Am I right or wrong?

Isn't there an identifier for everything connected to the internet and at the top is dod?  I recall looking into security on my local network and learned there's an identifier for displays, printers, of course NIC (and I don't mean the MAC address), and all of these are in a tree with dod at the top?

Under a Democratic president, the Presidency kowtowed to banks and Wall Street less than if a Republican were in office.

And the press coverage of the Dark Web, and I feel that should be busted, is bad for Bitcoin.  No matter that more crime is paid for with dollars than with Bitcoin.  A Republican presidency might be more responsive to outcries that the Dark Web depends on Bitcoin whether the Dark Web can turn to some other cryptocurrency or not.

Nothing new on the USPS tracking site.  Still showing nothing beyond having reached Miami.  I mentioned I stopped back a the post office and presented a printed copy of the destination data with phone number but I didn't mention that the gal at the counter said the postmaster was out until next week.  I was requesting that the trace I put on the package be checked to have all the data I presented with the printed page but apparently it was above her pay grade.  Not sure what day next week the local postmaster will be back.  Am considering going to another post office and requesting a trace, for instance from Peachtree City US post office.  My local post office is great in that there is rarely a line longer than 3 patrons and Peachtree City usually has a line stretching 10 or 15 deep.  But, PTC has a good number of major corporations while Hogansville has none.
