Out of curiosity.
The S9 has been on the market for sometime now. I am wondering it is the limitation of hashing hardware/power or it is possible to got higher than 13.5TH but not releasing it for some reasons...
There is a thread for that  But there was a 14TH version, so it just comes down to binned chips that can run at the speed and power required. I would think if they wanted to make a 20TH version they could just make a bigger chassis with more boards in it. |

Having your own pool would be the same as solo mining. In order to see any type of benefit you would need to up your budget to around $800,000 and get about 10PH of mining kit.
Even then its dubious. There is a reason people with millions of dollars of mining kit still use pools like kano and slush etc.

Block! by recline S9v2 and 3 payouts Edit: we're in an orphan race with slush ... Edit2: we lost - it's an orphan. Another Orphan and no payouts!  Well the last one was in December ... so if you mean some 'other' orphan since then? No it doesn't exist.  |

...Carry on with whatever you're doing.

I was mining Bitcoin, how about you?  Where? Some nondescript anti-segwit pool run by an ass that finds me to be an ass. I just had some Jersey blueberries and Asparagus from the pine barrens. Jersey Fresh. Just has to help ease the blocked blocks and get them flowing again. Ewww |

Yes that works fine, and today the wallets are showing up ok. I might have led you down the wrong route looking for the issue in the currency conversion. Basically, the wallets were not showing any totals. Is there an api call to get the wallet totals I can test? Is that a self hosted service that you run as well or do you do calls from an external provider for the wallet info? Thanks for replying We host the conversion, so 1 BTC = x fiat. The other coins are remote apis with blockchain services. Which coins do you have in your wallet, I can review the API endpoints. PM if you don't want public knowledge Just bitcoin wallets, is there an api link I can check from my end? |

Do you have to use a counterparty wallet? Or can you use an existing bitcoin wallet address?

Seems to be some issues with the wallet monitoring lately. Is that to do with the currency conversion side of it or something else?

Chunky 4 BTC transaction fees for those payouts as well.. noice! Love how we just take them for granted, might be a thing of the past in the future. |

Damn you put another crazy on ignore and someone comes along and quotes em   I remember when I started mining bitcoin, I always thought it was cool that there was only a limited number of them and the plan that once we got down to the last few halvings and last coins were either gone or so few and far between they might as well be, well we would basically be mining for transaction fees alone. That always appealed to me. I don't see how introducing a tech that allows moving transaction fees off the blockchain and allowing other people to profit from it is going to keep miners, who lets face it, have been the life blood of this technology, interested for long. Same reason why any miner with half a brain cell wouldn't mine at a pool that keeps the tx fees. Something that increases the block size and decreases confirmation times sounds good though, but it would be ideal to accomplish that without a hard fork if possible |

Everyone ready for the biggest difficulty jump since January? And the second biggest since Feb 2016? Got lube? |

That is so freaky.. I just brought another 55TH online today, and within about an few hours of them being online one finds a block LOL Even more ironic is the main 120TH part of my farm went offline because of a router outage at the datacentre. So the 55TH that came online today is part of my expansion plan to get to 1/4 of a Petahash in the next month or so. Then I'll go into a hodling pattern for a while to build up some more coin. |

I have a SP35 that doesn't run, or rather it runs on one board only, and I have a spare controller board

numnutz2009: Not sure what you hope to accomplish by feeding the troll, but, on behalf of all who have it on ignore, can you please stop quoting it? And as for the capitalisation of your sentences, I do understand your laziness around the concept, but I'd just like to remind you:
Dear people who type

We are the difference
between helping your

 please dont start biffa. tryin to troll me as a way of stopping me conversing with a troll seems a bit backwards to be honest. also its capitalization not "capitalisation". now i know im not the best speller and im far from a grammar/spelling nazi but if your going to be one please make sure ur reply is on point. ty. Please call don't make the common assumption of your countrymen and assume the entire internet is populated by and is the domain of the misspelling American. Now I'm afraid as you persist in quoting, while feeding, the troll I shall have to put you in on ignore as well. Cheers! |

Pool has taken a slight dip under 70PH. But should be back over it once my hosting facility has more capacity and my down miners are brought back online. These S9's are so unreliable 2 of the 50x S9s I bought are hashing at 2/3 of manufacturer documented hash rate just two days after initial deployment  Luckily the warranty is there... Btw, does anyone have anything to say about T9's - are they really substantially more reliable than S9s? More everything. Much hungrier but more reliable |

Thanks to the OP for coming up with a solution, but I'm not having much luck with it I'm using a ASrock H61 Pro BTC, and 4 RX570's I cleaned all the drivers out, and made the merged driver pack as described. Updated the drivers through device manager, get the unsigned driver warning Has anyone covered the "Windows requires a digitally signed driver" error that happens after you get through the driver install? After the reboot all the drivers are disabled for the cards and have yellow exclamation marks in device manager. Got me a bit stuck. I have seen that in the past... I disabled "Program Compatibility Assistant Service" and I no longer see that error. I already had that service disabled when setting up new rigs with 570's so I am unsure if it actually creates a problem or not. Cool, I'll give that a try. tks |
