1141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 30kW mining farm - need ventilation advice [Reward] on: February 02, 2018, 06:30:57 PM
I'm looking at a similar heat load.  Been looking at these 10,500 CFM fans for around $400:

https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200422375_200422375

200 CFM per 1,500 watt miner means I could do about 50 GPU rigs or ASIC's with one of those fans, as long as I have unrestricted airflow.  So even if I loose 50% to intake filters and what not, that still leaves 5,000 CFM of air flow.  5,000 / 200 x 1,500 = 37,500 watts my miners can put out.

The fan above uses 3.5A at 230V, so that is about 800 watts.  That's about 13 CFM per watt, so quite efficient.

Any negatives to using fans such as the above?

Spec sheet:

https://www.jdmfg.com/wall-master-exhaust-fan

10k CFM seems pretty overkill to me. Im running a single exhaust fan: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TXL5P0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

1.6k CFM for ~ 15kw worth of miners. Temps are about 10 degrees above outside.

Up to 8 of these now which is probably as far as I will go. All are running happily at max speed and completely stable.


woh thats impressive...how are you running so many at max speed for nearly 5 days that stable?? I don't even think I have achieved that in my tests. What kind of hub do you have? lol

With the diff is increasing day by day, the profit is decreased up to 20% / month , and you will get few dollar / day
the difficulty is way down -it must be part of the '10 minute block' adjusting still... thats good

Profits will double...the algorithm just caught up to block time, so now its adjusting again back to 10min blocks from 20min
1144  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread on: February 01, 2018, 10:32:11 PM
Thanks...  I have a usb data hub with multiple MLDs.  How would I know which is which in this case?  I feel like there is no way to know...  This is why I posted earlier asking if there was a way to make each MLD a separate worker on the mining pool.


Running windows, I opened "Device Manager" then I unplugged one of the MLD and saw which COM port that one was.
Mine are on COM3 & COM4, from there it was easy as I had marked the "better" MLD and punched in my speed.

quick question.

I have 1 stick that will hash just happy at 924, another won't budge past 796. Can I set them to run those frequencies on the same scrypt?

Yes:

... -S MLD:all --set MLD@COM7:clock=924 --set MLD@COM8:clock=796

(official notation should be --set MLD@\\.\COMx:clock=nnn but this works as well)


So how do I know which MLD is which??? 


thanks
G

You have two options, either set the scan method to not scan "all" and scan for only one moonlander (i.e. -S MLD:\\.\COMx), create a separate bat for each moonlander and run one in its own instance, or go into Device menu and get more info on the device...this will display its unique serial number (its different than the one on the sticker), and place this number on the device somewhere.

Then you will know which is which. Next update will also implement the enable/disable function in the device menu, so you can just visually see which bfgminer device number corresponds to which moonlander.

Yea stock binaries wont work on the BBB, you would need to get your compiler working correctly on that. Unfortunately this is not the thread for this discussion...there are plenty of threads and how-to's on how to properly setup compiler on your specific linux system and compile bfgminer. As for the pi, looks like your running an older kernel. Id try and do a fresh up to date raspian install on it and you should be good to go.

Thanks I will try a newer image on the Pi. Do you know what the min version needed is? Thanks for your help.

Re: the BBB, as I stated before I can actually compile bfgminer with no problem at all if I pull from git luke-jr/bfgminer. I can build and run bfgminer on the device with no error, it just doesn't have the driver support. I did this a test to see if there was any difference regarding the dependencies with you fork, which there does appear to be.

thanks again.


I think what I'm running has kernel version 4.4. There are no dependency differences between my branch, only difference is that it includes the futurbit driver which has not been merged upstream yet.

OK, so I was able to build bfgminer from git luke-jr/bfgminer, but not jstefanop/bfgminer. Not sure how to move forward.

Download the pre-compiled and ready to run binaries...compiling from scratch is not trivial and if one thing is not installed or properly configured it will fail.

Yes, I understand those are the instruction provide but the per-compiled binaries do not work for some reason. If you see my previous comments you can see I have tried these and was getting various errors which I am unable to resolve. This is why I tried building bfgminer from scratch, which does work. It would seem there are some additional requirements to run your fork which are not in the instructions.

Your binaries give the following error:
./bfgminer: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by ./bfgminer)

Seems like you have installed debian stuff over standard rasbian libraries (or your just not running rasbian at all). My guess is your have a Pi 3 with some other OS installed. The binaries are compiled for ARMv6 to be compatible with the whole pi lineup(Pi 3 runs emulator for ARMv6) which is missing on your system. If you want it to work out of the box, just reinstall the standard rasbian and run my binaries...that will give you no issues.

What are you talking about, I went to your site on my laptop, and of all of a sudden my cpu and fans get maxed out, computer starts acting slow.

I did not give you permission to max out my cpu, you do not inform anyone, anywhere, on your site that sates that you "stealing" cpu power.

If you think what you are doing is morally correct, then you have moral issues, and will most likely escalate your thefts to fit your agenda.

At this point, I wouldnt even use or recomened anyone to use your product. Even if you stoped and started to charge people for your services.

Honestly man, how do you think its morally correct to use peoples cpu without their permission. And yes it is stealing and that makes you a thief.

*edit*

I hate to be harsh, its awesome that you are providing a cool open source software, its rare these days, but from our point of view, how can we trust someone thats pulling something what you are doing. In this day of age, you need to charge people for your services. The only competition out there is awesome miner, and they charge a hefty price.

I don't mean to call you a thief, im sure your intentions are good willed and I hope the best for you.



You know whats morally incorrect? You trying to use free software that people have put hundreds of hours into, releasing it for free as open source to the community, WITH an option to disable CPU mining on the front page (did i mention its OPEN SOURCE and you can just remove the code yourself?), then coming on here and calling the developer a thief.

Hes not hiding anything, your choosing to use this free software, and you have zero grounds to say what your saying. Its people like you that discourage people like us in crypto that try to offer tools to help the community as a whole for continuing to do what we do.

Is there going to be a pre-order 3?



I just answered that question about 5 posts before yours...
1151  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread on: January 31, 2018, 07:28:10 PM
I think I had one of mine die sometime this morning -- it shoes 100% HW error rate at 700mhz. It hashes at like 83.2kh and constantly stops hashing/restarts.

This is a completely different unit than the one I mentioned a few posts ago.

What frequency were you running it before it died?

700mhz, highest I've ever run it was 756mhz.


I知 so lost right now. I知 helping my 10 year old son build a rig with a Moonlander 2 on a RPi3.... I知 running at a 100% HW..... it just showed up in the mail today... first , I知 sorry to attach this to your post... I知 so new I don稚 even know how to start my own post... please help a dad who痴 trying his best.... thanks

Are you running it directly off the pi? If so thats the issue...the pi itself can't provide enough power for these. Otherwise try lowering the clock down to base 384 frequency and see if your still getting 100% errors. If you have a windows machine try running it on that to rule out issues with the stick itself.
1152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread on: January 31, 2018, 07:25:00 PM
I ordered 2 Moonlander 2 and have them hashing. The problem is that no matter what I do one of the sticks have an error rate of 5-10%. I've tried modifying clock settings, different USB ports, different computers, powered USB hubs, etc.

One stick is <.5% error rate and the other is 5-10% consistently. I've gone as low at 600MHz and as high as 796 each with similar results.

I've purchased directly from the developer on eBay. Not sure if I have a defective unit or I need to tweak the pots maybe?

Interested to hear any ideas on how to troubleshoot this.

Try raising the memory and core voltage. Also some units do show higher error rate, but does not actually affect the hashrate (i.e. the uart controller sometimes spits out garbage, but all the "real" shares still come out properly). Are you also seeing a corresponding 5-10% drop in hashrate?

@michelem

Some suggestions for network miners...currently have a bunch connected via API, and for each API call for each miner minera "grays" out and needs a refresh. Not sure if this is intended, but API calls should be executed in the background and not require a refresh before you can do anything else. For example if I want to switch pools on lets say 10 connected miners, it should take a few seconds to go down the list and just select the pool you want switched, but right now it takes several minutes, since you have to wait for the whole page to refresh on each call.

Bitshopper.de is out of stock from quite some time. Have they ordered any stock resupply from you?

And what do they mean
Quote
1 Futurebit Moonlander 2 (Edition bitshopper.de) in Aluminium box

What box?

Yes they will have lots of stock available starting this week, most distributors are still busy shipping out pre-orders. Bitshopper sticks are shipped out in a nice aluminum case.
1155  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [Batch 2 SOLD OUT] FutureBit Moonlander 2 Official Pre-order Thread on: January 30, 2018, 06:32:01 PM
Any idea when bitshopper.de should be shipping? I have emailed them but got no response

They were out of office last week last time I talked to them. They should start shipping units out this week.
1156  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [Batch 2 SOLD OUT] FutureBit Moonlander 2 Official Pre-order Thread on: January 30, 2018, 06:04:07 PM
I see where AsicPuppy may be shipping based on some replies.    Anyone who preordered through Eyeboot got any ship notifications?   Asking for a friend Smiley

I haven't got mine yet (shipping notification)

I saw this morning they were selling batch two, but now it says batch three.  Has batch three even been announced?


I think they are referring to the stock they received for general sale as "Batch 3"


That was a typo on his part...all stock listed for sale are Batch 2 in stock units. There will be no "Batch 3 pre-order" for the foreseeable future. All units going forward will be in stock and distributors will be shipping them out immediately after payment.
1157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread on: January 30, 2018, 01:28:28 AM
I am having a strange issue.

I am unable to adjust the clockspeed on my miner if I set it to anything other than 800 it fails to hash anything and stops responding
here are my settings
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://poolurl.com:4224 -u bla.user -p password --no-longpoll -S MLD:\\.\COM5 --set MLD:clock=800 --verbose

This seems to be the only setting that works, If I set it higher, or lower it fails to respond. 800 is not even in your list of preset clock speeds. I've adjusted the power, lowered it, raised it, not difference. It is hashing at about 3.4Mh/s with HW:251/.20% in the last 21hrs.

What do you mean it fails to respond? At 3.4mh your defaulting to stock speed of 600mhz. Sounds like your not editing the clock speed correctly?

I figured since it was not one of your specified clock speeds it was defaulting to something.

This is the error I get.




I've done some more testing, clock speed 700 seems to work fine at around 4Mh/s I occasionally get an error(JSON-RPC non method decode failed: (null) Unknown startum msg:{"id":null, "result":[],"error": true} )Not sure if it is the miner or the pool causing that error.
Going to clock speed 720 kind of works, 3.7mhs but stops hashing and needs to restart per bfg miner.

I have the power at roughly .86

Your overclocking higher than your power hub can support...this is why it works at default frequency and you start getting issues as you go higher. Turn down the voltage, as the stock setting for these are higher than they need to be, and that will allow you to pull less power and clock higher.
1158  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [NEW] Bitmain Announces Antminer A3 on: January 29, 2018, 11:29:33 PM
Im still hoping that bitmain secretly made this chip capable of hashing another algo so we arent all gerning vend over the tavle as bad as it seems right now.. Down from $300usd when my miner arrived last weds, to sub-100 now.. gee.. Nice tactic bitmain Sad

Did you really expect 300 "a day" to last more than a few hours? These will be making 10 a day like all of bitmans S9's and L3's
1159  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread on: January 29, 2018, 11:24:33 PM
Well I finally got my ball bearing fans in for the stock replacements.

They work well but they are extremely loud compared to the stock sleeve fan.

They are the same type/brand as the stock fan, just ball bearing, direct replacement.

You probably bought one that is really high RPM...these fans can go up to 15k RPM. You only need about 7-10k RPM to properly cool these. Stock fans run around 9-11k.

would a 8000rpm fan cool the sticks sufficiently at 5 MH/s

http://gdstime.com/product/?99_471.html

Thats the exact same fan that ships with these...
1160  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread on: January 29, 2018, 11:23:31 PM

I received this one in amongst the others that I received today. All are working fine except for this one. After visually inspecting with magnifying glass I could see the 'L1" (inductor ??) appears damaged.

Question: would that be the reason that the device starts mining and then after just a minute or less, constantly drops out and can no longer be restarted by the driver?

Second Question: Does this get handled by the distributor or possibly yourself, or am I just out of luck on this one?







Thats the inductor casing chipping off..it happens sometimes due to thermal stress during reflow. Its not enough to damage an inductor...if it was damaged it would not work at all. Sounds like that stick just need to be tuned better. Trying lowering voltages/clocks and see if that helps. If not you can return it to distributor for replacement in the off chance that the inductor really did get damaged.
