You don't need to dedicate a machine for this, running it on a worker will work just fine too.  It's just a relay.

Have you guys followed the instructions posted multiple times already in this thread?

If you are having problems, closing the GUI wallet, launching parsicoind.exe and letting it fully sync before you reopen the GUI wallet has fixed the issue for most.

What haven't you been able to do?

Sundownz:

Make your life easier, take one of the R815's and install this and then point everything doing CN variants at it.

https://github.com/sebseb7/cryptonote-proxy  Literally point and click to change coins once setup for ALL boxes with ONE click.

Hive makes it super easy too.  You can't one point all your boxes but once wallets are setup properly, it's a snap to change miner and wallet on the fly.

Because I want a MN before everyone else gets it...   You have PM.

Before running the GUI wallet, run the parsicoind.exe file and let it full sync.  THEN launch the GUI wallet and you shouldn't have any problems.

In regards to ASIC resistance, I believe an upcoming fork is due in the next few weeks to CNV1 aka MoneroV7.

The Dev is working on an updated GUI wallet to fix some of the sync issues people are having.

What?  There is mining that can be done with hard disk drives but you need TERABYTES and it don't pay.  You might even be storing goat porn.



Jacob, you better check your PM this time. 

It's the quirks, once you figure them out, it's actually WAY easier and WAY more stable.  I don't really touch them anymore.  Now my Windows Vega boxes... GRRRR

Your reading comprehension must be slow.  The z400's came with 4 PCIE slots and like a 450W PSU.  He's been using like 40 of them perfectly fine.  In fact, he's even got more than 4 cards running in them thanks to PCIE 4 in 1 splitters.

The system energy is minimal and all CPUs are mining as well.  Another thing to point out is that when an 8 GPU rig goes down, you have much more hashpower out of the game.

Also, with HIVEOS, system updates are effortless.  Literally, even for a ton of boxes.

And honestly, Sundownz should be running a proxy because then literally all your boxes point at one, and then you make changes on the ONE, and EVERYTHING points to whatever you changed it to...

Please, this thread now has multiple combined years of testing these theories with the various people doing it.

I hope you understand that the batteries for his power wall come from those laptop batteries right?  He tears the laptop battery casings open to extract the Lithium cells then proceeds to test and bin accordingly.

Have you been using hugepages already?  I've been using it since day one.

The only thing I can think of is that because of the power flicker something happened kernel wise maybe?  Something changed that required the need for the band-aid you had to apply.

For shits and giggles as I know you have a lot of boxes that are going to need your remedy, image one of the new boxes if using HDD, just swap it into a broken box and see if it magically starts to work right because it appears the fix was software based and had nothing to do with hardware.

I'm really leaning to something on the reboot screwed up in the OS and has caused all your grief which is why I'm assuming a fresh install worked just fine on the new boxes.

I'm gearing up to start removing all my drives and do network boot here soon.

I found something that is working awesome on these dells...  but ... do I share?  You have enough firepower to drastically increase diff and still won't return my calls...

 

Try clearing the NVRAM by changing jumper position on the board. 

* Locate the 3-pin CMOS jumper (CLR CMOS) on the motherboard
* Remove the jumper plug from pins 1 and 2
* Place the jumper plug on pins 2 and 3 and wait approximately 5 seconds
* Replace the jumper plug on pins 1 and 2

Are you running both PSUs or did you remove one like I did?  Maybe try swapping PSU to the other bay or even have both PSUs installed and plugged in.

Another thing to try is resetting BIOS to defaults in the BIOS itself.

I'll do what I can to help you trouble shoot even though you won't take my phone calls!

<joke>

I have a set of spare 6276s I will sell.  They will do ~950H/s.

Cranking out 1050 on a pair of 6380s on a 385...

Actually HiveOS and the HP's work GREAT.  Currently have 2 running 9 cards each.

It's HiveOS and the Dell R815's that DOESN'T and that's just a NIC driver issue.

The Dells seem to be exhibiting the same trait as when you leave the cover off and they throttle.

I just had two power outages and multiple flickers the last few weeks and I haven't encountered the throttling yet.  I would totally remove power from them for a minute and if that doesn't do it, pull the cmos battery w/ the power out and wait a minute.  That SHOULD do it but you'll have to reconfigure the BIOS to your liking.

I am going to build a 30kwh battery backup system.  I just want enough juice to run everything for an hour.

In regards to 4 GPUs on the 580s, I'll give Windows another shot just for luls but honestly, Hive is so superior and easy it's really not even worth it.  They've been rock solid since I've got them going.

So I've got 4 GPUs going on an R815.  I started out to run 6 but HiveOS doesn't load a network driver for the R815.  Instead of scratching my head on how to figure that out, I simply threw in a pcie network card which stole a slot.  The riser I threw the network card in has two slots.  The second slot wouldn't accept a GPU.  I said screw it and settled for four at the moment.  Later on I'll see if I can get a 4 to 1 riser to work.  I have not had success with the 4 to 1's in the 580s but I have in the 360s and 380s.

It took me four solid days to deploy a few more vegas and reconfigure all my gpu rigs which were all HP Proliant boxes.  What a royal pain but it was necessary due to the hodge podge manner in which my little army grew over the last 100 days.  

At this point I consider myself a fairly well versed miner but there is so much more to learn.  I can say that HiveOS, once you understand how to use it, simply makes life easier.  I'm using all three free rigs and I'm seriously contemplating pulling the trigger for the rest of them.  I'm first going to play with some watchdog scripts for the windows boxes and setup a proxy which should simplify management.  Need to come to grips with Power play tables for the vegas as they are a pain to restart when necessary.

However the simplest by far has been an ASIC.  Set it and forget it.

Now up to 55 CPUs, 42 GPUs, 2 ASICs with one left to arrive that might be DOA with all the mother forking ASIC hating going on...   A few dual and quad CPU stragglers to get online, but they are being bitches so they aren't up yet.

The prices on the 580s have gone up by at least 50% of what I was getting them for.

One of my ideas wasn't to exactly water cool the GPUs themselves but to do something similar using geothermal.  I have a backhoe so digging ain't a problem, ya know?  I was going to bury a 2k-3k gallon reservoir, run a bunch of pex and then pump that through a series of radiators (having a former automotive shop I have a lot laying around).  The radiators would be in essence a precooler for my geothermal heat pump that will only work in AC.  The colder the incoming air to the exchanger, the cooler the ouput will be.  If I can take 105 degree Texas summer heat (or even the exhaust output of a closed loop system) and turn it into 80 or 85 degree air before it hits the AC system, my AC system will be way more efficient.  I have the majority of the items already to make the precooler, and even the AC system.  Just need time.

I started this venture in January so I have no idea how I'm going to cope with the heat.  Painting the containers a semi gloss white has definitely helped cut down heat absorption and I expect the solar shade to equally help.

If you wouldn't mind, I might need a copy of that script you wrote!

Currrently I'm forcing tons of air through the unit.  Soon I will have to AC.  I've painted both containers white and am in the process of building a solar shade.  I have my work cut out for me!  Even though the servers have given me some fits, I'm glad I went that route.


USB sticks for Linux OK!  USB sticks for Windows, NOPE.  Sucks.  Might work, you won't be happy.  HIVEOS is the easiest of ALL once you figure out interface.


I haven't tried more than 9.  I have one box that doesn't have the addin pcie board so I tried to use the 6th 8x PCIe Connector that is located on the SPI board that is supposed to be for a dual 10gb adapter so I could have 6 1080s going in it.  Well when I powered on I heard a pop and I'm currently down one server awaiting a new SPI board.         

You can run Win10 on the 580 if you only want 2 procs recognized.

In my experience, Win10 and Server 2016 act identical on these servers.

Sooo beat.  I was up until 3:30AM last night trying to finish my migration.  I'm currently back to 90% operational.
