I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one still running these USB ASICs.

I've currently got the following running on one of my rigs:

4x GekkoScience 2PAC
2x Gridseed Orb
1x Blizzard Zeus
1x Futurebit Moonlander 2
1x Nanofury NF1

1x GTX 1070
1x GTX 1060
1x RX 570
(Hell, I even mine cryptonight_heavy on the two Xeon X5670 CPU's in this rig.)

For the ASIC's, I went with two Plugable USB 2.0 7-Port Hub with 60W Power Adapter's I got on sale from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-7-Port-Speed-Charging-Adapter/dp/B00L2LK164/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547123579&sr=8-1&keywords=B00L2LK164

I'm running all this (9 different hardware devices across 9 different software miners) on PiMP OS (a Linux-based mining OS).

Happy Mining, PiMP's!

Hello Fellow PiMP's!

We had a good showing at yesterday's PiMP OS Clubhouse Call even though Discord was having Voice issues. Again, thank you to everyone who made it and stuck with it.

What? You didn't make it to the Clubhouse Call?! No problem! I got you covered with the meeting minutes... just do me a solid and mark your calendars now for the next one. Every Wednesday @ 18:00 EST (That's 6:00pm for all my non-military PiMP's!   ) on the PiMP Discord Clubhouse Call voice channel.

Now that we've all got our calendars marked, let's get on with those meeting minutes I promised.

The biggest thing we discussed was the new payment system that will be introduced with the release of PiMP OS v3.0. It's still a bit "down the road" from now, so I won't cover all the details here. Think subscription based licensing. That's right, but more details will follow later on.

Anyway, the part of that I will cover here is the integration into miner.farm. If you didn't already know, miner.farm has been getting an overhaul done on it. Big changes are coming. If you love miner.farm now, Brother, you're going to want to marry it when you see what it's going to be. Amazing. Biggest shout-out goes to Lily for all of her hard work in doing it.

So back to the notes... The PiMP OS licensing system is being integrated into miner.farm where you will have so much more control over your keys and rigs. Also, Coinbase and PayPal payments will be accepted as soon as the new miner.farm (aka miner.farm3) is released.

Speaking of the new miner.farm, when it does get released it will be seamless. One day you'll be using miner.farm and the next day... Bam! You'll be using the new miner.farm. No extra fees. No massive re-configs of your rigs/farms. Nothing like that. It'll just work.

Let's see... what else?... oh, yeah. The name. The PiMP OS Staff/Dev Teams have been discussing the idea of renaming PiMP. It seemed a bit "split down the middle" from the group, but it is something that is being considered. Feel free to comment here, the PiMP forum, or even in the PiMP Discord channel and let us know what you think. Nothing is official, but the team would love some user feedback on this topic.

We also covered the version release road map. Right now, the current public release is v2.6. The PiMP OS Beta Team is currently working on v2.8.5b and v2.8.6b (fix release)... If everything goes smooth (and it seems like that is the case so far), v2.8.6b will become the public release v2.8.6rc. Biggest change in v2.8.x (over v2.6) is that it's based upon Ubuntu 18.04 and will have the newest stable video drivers. There's also been some amazing cosmetic changes as well. Shout out to Melt for those!

After the v2.8.6rc release, we can expect maybe one more release (maybe v2.9) to incorporate another kernel update and newer video drivers. However, not too long after v2.9, you can expect the long awaited v3.0!! (Okay, okay... I'm getting too far ahead.)

The last things we covered were the new nVidia RTX GPU's and the upcoming AMD RX600-series GPU's. Just know that the PiMP OS Dev Team is working as hard and as fast as they can to ensure PiMP OS supports these new GPU's. I did manage to get my hands on a nVidia RTX 2080Ti for a few hours to play around with. I can honestly say that I'm impressed. These are beasts.

Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen... those are the notes from our last Clubhouse Call and you are now caught up! I told you I had your back!
