You know you could buy an account that can for a fraction of that? (though account trading is discouraged)

Ok, for anyone's benefit... I managed to do it using the latest version of nvidia profile inspector. The older version I had didn't have the option.  Did you gain any hashrate increase? |

hhhhmmmmmmmmmm.......... looks like we might hit $2/day by November 2017, instead, LMAO.
Soooooooooo many people got screwed over paying over 3x - 5x the price all to get nothing and then I keep reading that most have hardware problems. LOL, they got us, LOL. Well maybe if they come out with new model pushing THS instead of GHS, maybe it will be worth it, if you get the 1st generation only.
Else, its a waste of time.
Current mine per day with Antminer D3 per cryptocompare is $33/day.
Even I got fooled originally, but glad, I didn't dive in all the way and buy 25 machines like I was originally planning to do, thankfully, I bought only 2 machines first. Put the rest of my money in DASH coin itself, and other Alt Coins
I really feel bad for a lot of ppl on this board whom bought this month and last month trying to beat out the time against the difficulty rise.
That's ASICs for you. If an ASIC earns a shitton of money it's safe to assume it's used by the companies making them before they're selling them. Nobody will sell their golden egg laying goose that reaches ROI in a few weeks or even days! Also, Bitmain D3 15Gh/s (3500-35000 pieces), PinIdea 17Gh/s, iBelink 10.8Gh/s, Baikal 0.6Gh/s and Innosilicon 30.2Gh/s (which will only start shipping later) means the diff will skyrocket! You'd have to be either: - in the very first batch and be there for cheap (which means you'd have already reached ROI); - or kind of stupid to invest into ASICs. If you need further convincing just take a look at Dash's difficulty chart: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/dash-difficulty.html - which means you're already would only make $26 per day per 15Gh/s:  |

Yea for sure. I don't know about people ignoring what crypto is created/stands for. Is it really what they're thinking about? Aside from genuinely trying to do good in the world, you can certainly make a compelling case of money grab - after all, they're allegedly raising money for their vision/services/products/etc.
No doubt lots of faulty and ill-thought-out projects. I suppose people falling for scams is just a natural thing in the world. You got wolves among sheeps sort of thing + something something jumping-off-a-cliff-with-everyone-else herd mentality.
Exactly, but you can also see that everyone who gets ripped off by ICOs will hate cryptos (I know quite a few peoples like that) so in essence cryptos are not just a pure and dumb form of gambling (which would be fine like slot machines) but they're not helping more people get comfortable with cryptos - just the opposite. |

Because ICOs are bullshit no-skill gambling scams?

It's a similarily retarded and blatant scam scheme as any other ICO.
Your restaurant analogy holds true but what's the point of a centralized and controlled coin when you can use banks?
Every ICO ignores and goes against what crypto was created and stands for, plus it introduces uncertainty and invites crypto-newbie people to essentially gamble with their money while riding on Bitcoin's success with tools mostly used by casinos, like making users feel individual/important with VIP statuses/bonuses/reward schemes and time limited rewards so people make hasty and therefore likely dumb decisions.
Thing is, cloning a coin or starting an Eth token costs nothing and everyone can do it (which is why we have so many shit ICOs) and so the owners get whatever amount of coins they want without working for them, absolutely freely.
And what it boils down to is that those devs might as well have handfuls of sand instead of random coins and it's up to them to convince others that their coins/sand is worth something - which it isn't, until stupid people put money into it and make it worth something and greedy people buy them for even more money.
If it's not decentralized and fairly distributed, it's a useless step back or a blatant scam.

A D3 pulls 1200 watts which is 10 amps if used on a 120V line or 5 amps at 240v (watt / volt = amps).
Afaik, the AWP3++ can provide 1600 watts but only 1200 watts will be used by a D3 so there's a 33% headroom there. Though I'm not sure if you must use a 20% headroom when it comes to circuit breakers. For example, say a 32 amp breaker will be able to handle 32 amps (3840/7680 watts depending on voltage) and you can even pull more for a period of time (depending on its rating). Not sure there but I guess it doesn't hurt. But you'll probably have much bigger breakers or maybe even just one, not sure.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with PDUs, just ask the electrician to install some breakers, an RCD (residual-current device) and a bunch of sockets and tell him to use appropriately thick (low AWG) cables as they'll be under heavy load 0-24. That's the most important part to not use wires above their spec as they will get warm or even worse. I used to use 1.5mm (~15AWG) cords which were rated for 16A but got really hot under close to 16A load. Now I use 4mm (~6AWG) for as little as 16 amps - which is overkill but super safe.

- 0.5 is way too much;
- pool mining is 200x slower and there's no reliable way of checking how fast the miner really in solo (unless diff is very low);
- I'm not trusting your binaries to run on my rigs and I'm guessing you're not providing the source code.

Good I have some suggestions
Instead of going with 3 PSUs try to go with 2 or even 1 PSU.
You can add 1 more GPU by using M2 to PCIE adapter without any issue.
Also, Instead of purchasing only 6x PCIE risers buy atleast 12 as a backup, their QA is sketchy.
Good Luck for your next built.
Yeah, definitely. You do realise it'll take you one and a half years to get your investment back?... IF profitability stays at today's levels...
Only if you mine something dumb like Eth, my 1080 Ti's currently have 170 days to ROI at only 180 watts, all hardware included. |

There's no need for a CPU cooler, the stock cooler is enough (60-70 °C) - that is if you buy an box version and not a tray version (which doesn't come with a fan).
I wouldn't use 3 PSUs, only two. Those 6 cards can pull 1800 watts (2250 watts with power limit increased - depending on the BIOS) plus the rig itself is around 70 watts and I usually leave 20% headroom so I'd aim for a sum of 2,2 KW PSUs. IF you're planning on running them at 100% power (300W) which is not advised.
Also, if you have another computer or even a smartphone, you can manage the rig remotely with something like Teamviewer so the monitor/keyboard/mouse is only really required when you first set things up (or if something shits itself which you can't solve remotely).
I'd also not use windows 10, it's annoying but it's up to preference.
Everything else looks okay.

Pools get it from the wallet.
Use getmininginfo to see for yourself if you have the wallet running.

1. Bitcoin - The grandfather
2. PIVX - 2200+ masternodes, masternode proposals and voting system, staking and just an overall good and fair coin with a decent community and dev team
3. Not sure

Thank you for the clarification I think PoW and PoS is thrown around so much that the majority of the discourse is misusing it, I don't think the dev means it in a malicious manner, how could he use this maliciously anyways?
Most people have heard of crypto mining and know that it can be profitable and they might want to start mining as well and they can be mislead to think mining is as simple as buying some coins and think they're actually mining while they're not. If you have to buy coins to get more coins it's staking and if there's no mining hardware to speak of, it's not mining. |

Bitcoin is not for very time critical transactions like your morning coffee. Segwit/higher blocks can only help processing more transactions, but not faster. Unless the network is congested and you don't pay fees, your transactions will start to get confirmed in the next block. Currently there's only <3000 transactions waiting to be processed which is nothing compared to 100k+ when the network was deliberately spammed to promote forks with higher blocks. Bitcoin's block time is 10 minutes and if you need 3 confirmations, it will take 30 minutes on average which is fine. Litecoin has a block time target of 2.5 minutes so it's faster though it requires more confirmations to really trust transactions. Ethereum started with 17 second block times and now it's already around 23 seconds due to the difficulty bomb and even more confirmations are required to trust transactions (30?). But Ethereum's blockchain size is also approaching 290 GB while Bitcoin's blockchain size is around 130 GBAnd Bitcoin is 4 times as old today as Ethereum (3174 days vs 783 days) so if it was the same age, its blockchain size would be 1.16TB. That's the drawback with fast block times; blockchain bloat. Sure, you can use fast sync and run a full node with much less space required but the full blockchain is huge. |

1. DYNERIUM is rewarded to addresses that has MNE sitting for 2 weeks. You need to keep MNE in the address. If you move it out, then mining stops. You can move MNE anytime to an address. When a snapshot is taken, DYNERIUM checks for the coinage of 2 weeks, if not, then it will simply disqualify it. You will be eligible in future snapshots when your MNE are about 2 weeks old.
2. As DYNERIUM snapshots at random intervals, it ensures new addresses eligible to receive rewards and removes addresses that moved their MNE out.
3. You should have any non-zero MNE balance to get DYNERIUM.
4. Mining a sha, scrypt coin requires you to throw some hash. The more hash you throw, the more coins you mine. Similarly, you require MNE to mine DYNERIUM, the more MNE you hold, the more DYNERIUM you mine.
5. Artemine ICO burn address is excluded from Dynerium.
6. Dynerium is not intended to increase the price of the MNE. It has a different purpose.
7. The Roadmap will be posted later.
8. Snapshot will be taken on September 30, 2017.
Example Mining
A:
Block reward is 10
You hold 100 MNE
There are a number of eligible addresses with non-zero MNE balance - total MNE - 200000
Reward for each MNE = block reward/ total MNE = 10/200000 = 0.00005
You get, Reward per MNE*number of MNE you hold = 0.00005*100 = 0.005 per block.
B:
Next Snapshot occurs. There are addresses that moved MNE out and new addresses have MNE.
Total number of MNE is recalculated and function A: is executed. The loop continues.
I do believe I have answered to all the questions raised so far. I will update Token Specs, Signature Campaign in few hours.
It's still not mining, stop confusing newbies.There are proof of stake coins both with fix rewards (eg. 10 coin per block) or with rewards based on how much someone is staking. You're heavily confusing PoS coins with PoW (mining) coins either out of stupidity or maliciously to confuse newbies. Mining - proof of work - requires actual work submitted from miners, simply holding funds and getting rewards solely based on that is far from mining. That's simply staking. |

Nobody will trust a brand new account and we're likely already too late of hitting ROI with with them - sort of why anyone would sell them at this point.

I mostly ignored ASICs ever since I started with crypto years ago but one thing that seems true is that you're either in first group of people to receive their hardware or you might as well just gamble your money away in another form.
But, even if you preorder the shipping can be late or another company might ship before them or even worse, so all in all, buying ASICs - as an individual and without insider info - is just purely gambling however you want to twist it.
I guess this is why I'm mining dozens of coins with GPUs instead of getting locked in with a specialized hardware with questionable ROI and no resell value.
And seriously, I still don't understand why people think the hardware they're ordering isn't used by the companies selling them (maybe even causing the delays) while their ROI is measured in days, not months.
The whole ASIC scene stinks from every angle.

It's already <$90 a day and looking at the difficulty chart it will drop like a stone: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/dash-difficulty.htmlOP might ROI but people getting their ASICs weeks/months from now likely wont. There are way too many ASICs hitting the market: BitMain (15Gh/s), iBelink (10.8Gh/s), PinIdea (17Gh/s), Innosilicon (30.2Gh/s) And the Innosilicons are just starting to ship as well. |
