Unlike the rest of these knuckleheads, I read the whole thread lol
Op took a loan in good faith, and fell on a hard time to pay it back, but unlike most, he is trying his damndest to pay it back.
Yes op broke original terms, but good on him for following through as best he can!

Yeah, people who haven't paid yet. Buncha freeloaders. Buncha polite and hardworking freeloaders.
We're Sorry... |

I don't think you want to run that many miners on wifi connections. wifi is really not the solution for any sizable deployment.
You mentioned your restrictions with distance, so how about this:
1. Setup WIFI router A at your internet access point
2. Setup WIFI router B to be the common access point for all your miners in your mining area
3. Setup router B to be a hotspot or repeater of A
4. If distance between A and B is an issue, throw a few boosters / repeaters in between to cover your dead spots. They are cheap from BestBuy, etc.
This reduces the number of connections to your WIFI broadcasting signals and technically should allow your WIFI router to better prioritize its traffic.
It may be the wireless with that distance,
So either get a extender and more cord.
Or I've heard of setting up a PC to act as a pool for your miner's which is then tied to a pool.
Never tried it. But then you are effectively only pushing one signal to the house.
Other option may be a bigger wireless repeater.
But wired is the way to go! Likely to many packets of similar info for it to handle..
Please learn to read new posts Please learn to not ask for help then treat those trying to help like an asshole? As I HAD SAID the other option is a proxy setup, so you only have one outward pointing stratum proxy server. Or find a wireless provider and get better bandwidth, OR find a hosting company and mail your shit out. |

As soon as Sidehack update the status of the development I will update here.  of course, I'm following that thread as well, just a FYI more than anything. We can all say we want XX number of something, until we have a price it's a mute point lol |

Is is possible to mine with a new Xbox or Playstation? I heard somewhere that this is possible?
If you can find a way to get LINUX on them, you could - but their performance is going to be a joke. For ALL practical purposes, they have an AMD A10 APU in them as their only processing - only difference is that the PS4 series uses GDDR 5 instead of DDR3 which makes it a little faster, but you're still looking at a GPU with very similar stats to the ancient AMD HD 7750 or the rebadge of the HD 7750 to the R7 250. In other words, VERY LOW hashrate for a VERY HIGH power consumption = LOSE MONEY. The CPU side isn't even worth thinking about for Bitcoin mining. Guess I should edit my answer... Lol You CAN.. But not feasible. The highest end computers out there right now are not practical for mining BTC. so gaming systems are a hard no. Not that you can't, just that you shoudln't |

Oh sorry  it was a mistake, honestly. Did edit my post! Now back on taking order for the 2pacs. Okay tought I was imagining things hah I'd like more info on this, I have 3 s3's sitting here, and sticking boards in them would be amazing. But need to see more specs and pricing, if it's 2 boards per than I'd be down for 6 boards. |

Yes 235Th/s . It's moderately sized. Right now about 18 S9's and planning to grow over time
That is awesome. Since S9 are the most energy efficient BTC miners around, it definitely increases your chance to profit with it. Anyways, I'm glad to see that you are making a plenty amount of BTC per day. As for me, I make around 0.001 BTC per day by cloud mining Dash at Genesis Mining. It is not much, but at least I'm earning something on the side. Also, I mine coins with my GPUs, but I use cloud mining more since there is no setup or maintenance of equipment required at all. Nevertheless, I'm always looking forward to increase my chances of making profit with mining BTC or any other crypto currency. Interesting to know that you're into cloud mining, This is something i have also considered, but yet to delve into it. How has it been for you? I only started mining six (6) days ago with an s7 operating at 1TH/s, so far I have confirmed 0.004BTC. There has been a couple hiccups with it however, I dont know why its not running at the recommended 4TH/s. Cloud mining is a scam, stay away. |

Last year I mining bitcoin using 1THZ power and got 3 - 5$ a day
how about your mining result now? share it here
I have 7 TH/s and I get about $ 60,- a month, net A month? looks like different with the cryptocompare's calculation they tell me about $50 for a year with 7TH. I wanna testing his accuracy, may you can provide some explanation about your result. Ya.. what ever you calculated was wrong. I have 18th and see 400 a month... so you need to work on your calculator use |

Problem I have with them, is they block MAC addresses on their network, unless it's been authorized. So unless I can somehow trick the system into thinking my miner is a laptop, no joy But using a USB setup through my already approved laptop. All good If you're too lazy to ssh into openwrt...Just use an r1 to bridge to lan, use your laptop for logging into the network (if they have one of those wifi portals) hook up a switch and your golden. And if you're using an r1 you might as well use crazyguy's r1 patch so that you can mine altcoins or solo ck...  Not to derail the thread, but it's a matter of the network admins themselves, only approved mac address, so not sure how to change the one on the miner, either way their to loud for the room so these usb ones are for me |

I soon have access to Free power, so I'm REALLY waiting on those pods to pop up Small room so can't use anything noisy, If I could get an R4 I would of done so lol will pod become a scourge of school closets ? Hotel room actually I have 20TH running already at home But work is sticking me in a hotel for 5 months in southern ontario SO I may as well milk it for what I can while I'm stuck there Problem I have with them, is they block MAC addresses on their network, unless it's been authorized. So unless I can somehow trick the system into thinking my miner is a laptop, no joy But using a USB setup through my already approved laptop. All good shh... |

Did the post edit? I'm likely in for the upgrade kit as well depending on pricing, being the big one

Your best bet would be to look at the main thread.
What is with everyone starting a new S9 thread lately every time they have a question and simply figure everyone will give them the answer? Lazyness?

Most pdu's are not built for mass power draw, so they are not as handy as people think. So careful which you buy.
Sorry my math was off or I typed wrong, 10 of the 4k boards would give you 40, not 80.
But you can scale up from there
You could very well be right. I have always used 50A rated PDU's at 40A max continuous and never had a problem personally. You do have to be careful to buy ones rated for the proper amperage, and not to exceed 80% of that like any wiring. Many of the network-enabled ones have pretty weak current ratings. Beyond that obvious safety stuff, do you think they are unreliable even at 80% of their max rating continuously? I know you're pretty capable and probably do most/all of your own wiring, I often do as well. However some people are (wisely) not comfortable doing that, and when you compare market labour rates to wire in 10x 50A circuits (to power 80KW continuous power @ 200V for example), and compare that to wiring in 40x 15A circuits in to achieve the same 80kW (even off a subpanel), many people will find PDU's can save money. Plus it's nice to have breakers right on the PDU's compared to tracking down panels, and the aforementioned ability to use power strips off the C20 outlets, etc. I like using them personally. I like them, Now that I found switchable ones, I'd really love to have a 50amp switchable one. A lot of PDU online are 20-40 amp but have a lot of plugs, so mostly meaning people need to be careful. The breaker right at the PSU is a great feature. I do all my own work and work for others so it's hard for me to compare costs. I wired a small sub panel for a buddy with a bunch of plugs right beside it. Essentially a PDU. For the home miner, if you can get a PDU and stick a 50watt line in, thats your best bet. Safety and easy of use is a large part. If yo go 240, those plugs cost more etc. PDU cuts down on that too. |

Is there not a better or more efficient and large-scale way to supply power to the miners than by purchasing individual PSU's for each? IF you are talking about a few hundred KW of power on up, then yes using a high DC bus fed from the mains followed by local bus DC-to-12vDC is worth considering. HP, IBM and others all have DC fed 12v PSU's available just for that purpose. The power eff advantage comes from losing all of the the normal input brute-force mains-to-DC and PFC power conversion stages found in each of the normally AC-fed local 12v PSU's. Instead a single several hundred KVA 3-phase transformer with full-wave rectified delta-wye secondary provides what is essentially pure DC with less than 0.7% ripple and no further filtering needed. Typically that high DC bus is around 300vdc or more which is also what the input stage to a normal 208vac PSU feeds to the power conversion stage that make the 12v. Yes. This is exactly the answer I'm looking for. I can't say I fully follow what you are saying, but I think I got the gist. I'll do more research so I can understand properly. For the application I am thinking about, I will be using somewhere around 30-80 kW. Would you say this is too low for me to consider the solution you are suggesting? It would just be nice to avoid purchasing individual PSU's and instead design the electrical distribution system around it. Here's what I'm meaning. 10 of these would be 80kw. I can't even find a single 80kw DC output device to link you... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1667131.0Not sure if I'm missing one of Optimizer's boards, but I believe he only makes 2K and 4K (the 4K being similar in design to the ones I carry). Is there a 8K (4xDPS-2000BB) that I'm missing? That would be a freaking beast, but not sure I see the advantage over 4K boards which deal with high enough current as it is. PDU's can save you money over wiring multiples of smaller 15-20A circuits. Instead you can wire in single 50A circuits with appropriate wiring/plugs/receptacles and end up with 8kW-capable circuits on 200+V. If labour is also expensive where you are, I see it as being advantageous over wiring 4x individual equivalent 15A circuits to end up with the same 8kW of PSU's. As mentioned earlier, they essentially act as a sub-panel, but can be had for considerably less than a sub-panel, and come with "receptacles" built in. They can also be helpful if you want to mix smaller PSU's in with larger PSU's, as you can pick up C20 power strips which break one leg of the PDU into multiple C13 outlets. Most pdu's are not built for mass power draw, so they are not as handy as people think. So careful which you buy. Sorry my math was off or I typed wrong, 10 of the 4k boards would give you 40, not 80. But you can scale up from there |
