I'm out running errands right now, I'll get you the measurements in a few hours.  AWESOME! and you know what, I just figured out!!!! NO WONDER peoples PCIe cables get fried left and right on thse things. Now that weve exposed cube power consumption is much closer to 300w ... its a no brainer! The poor lil PCIe 6pin power connector, as per molex's website can deliver up to 275w safely @ 12v .... these poor things are running on the verge of meltdown 24/7 essentially! LOL Not to mention we already run the DCDC's beyond spec of their current deliver capabilities! LOL! Im sure glad I never figured out how to OC beyond 325mhz ... peoples cubes would be melting left and right! FU KNC for being a bunch of cheap bastards! shoulda went w/ an 8pin connector or maybe even 2x 6pin per cube! ... I think you're a little behind on the news LOL! It's (I thought so anyways) well known that both Neptune and Titan cubes pull approximately 360w to 400w from that poor PCI-e connector. A 6 pin PCI-e connector is rated at 75w and an 8 pin is rated at 150w. I'm not sure why, since all it does is add 2 ground wires while only leaving 3 12v wires. Where did you get the 275w figure from a 6 pin from? WOW! 360w?!?!?! ARE YOU SHITTING ME?! I wanna see ur measurements ASAP =) haha naw, the 6 pin PCIE is rated 75 & 8 pin rated 150w for PC applications, its the standard in the video card / PC industry. But its not necessarily the max of the CONNECTOR(not the cable) itself. The wire gauging used by PC PSU manufacturers puts the 75/150w limit on the PCIe power cable / connector overall because some PSU manufacturers use way too thin of a guage of wire to safely sustain the connectors rated max. Molex.com has CURRENT ratings for the 6pin PCIE connector. http://www.molex.com/molex/products/family?key=megafit_power_connectors&channel=products&chanName=family&pageTitle=Introduction&parentKey=power_connectors23A * 12V = 276W, I round it to 275 for ease of remembering =P ALSO, I just stumbled across something else, the other missing piece of the puzzler perhaps. If Im thikning about this correctly, power dissipation would be additional to the effeciency rating of these DCDC's? If so then thats another 5w added to the power needs of each DCDC, so its roughly 85% eff + 5w PER DCDC, thats 8 DCDC's per cube, which translates into another 40watts used per cube on top of the 85% eff... HOLY SHITBALLS! Or is the dissipation part of the effeciency metric? I dont know, in the docs it shows 2 seperate graphs , 1 for effeciency at given current/voltage and another graph for power dissipation for given current / voltage. |

Gentarkin, I have a request. Power readings in the advanced page are way off. It isn't even close! If I get you a proper reading of how many watts a cube consumes at 325MHx and -0.0366v would you be able to adjust them? Also, would be great to have the ability to set our own Wall efficiency. I'm running 94% efficiency PSUs, so 85% is no where near accurate.
Get me some readings at wall, and screenshots of the page. Ill see what I can do =) I dont know about being adjustable because not everyone will be able to adjust, its more supposed to be just a guesstimate, not a concrete figure. I cant account for everyones setup. But, perhaps Ill put in a one time adjustment box, once set it will go away. Im trying to keep the gui as clutterless as possible. What do you mean not everyone will be able to adjust? I personally think adding an option to change the efficiency rating is a very nice added feature, not clutter. I'd like the option to always be avilable, not only a 1 time setup. If you don't want it in the main "Advanced" page, you could put it in the "System" page? I was thinking I'd get you an actual reading at the cube by measuring the amperage and volts to get the best accuracy possible for a cube.  CHRIST MAN!!!! There is NO WAY those PSU's are as effecient as you think! LOL!!! Thats some insane power usage! My Titan is on like 90% EFF ATX PSU's x2, and it only draws 1500w @ the wall, all cores @ 325mhz! NOTE: I cant do anything about what the cube "thinks" its drawing, after all those are the actual numbers as reported from the DCDC's. Thats about as close to any true measurement your gonna get from the device, everything else is guesswork. Now, I think you can see why ... its really hard to account for everyones setup =P ... we have a HUGE difference in power usage, but only a 4% claimed difference in PSU EFF =P NOTE: you dont use my DCDC temp protection? =( hehe They absolutely are LOL. I calculated it myself by measuring the total DC power draw from the 3 server PSUs VS the AC power draw measured at the wall. From there it was easy to calculate; 94.13% AC/DC efficiency. Take a look at this: http://www.plugloadsolutions.com/psu_reports/POWER%20ONE_PFE1100-12-054NA_1100W_SO-152_80_Report.pdfI'm using 3 of those to power 5 cubes. I could power them all with 2, but the PSUs fan gets way too loud near 100% load. They're completely silent at ~50% load, and a bit more efficient to boot. You must be using only 4 cubes if you're that far off from me? Too bad there's no way to correct the extremely wrong DCDC values.  And I don't use the protection, don't need it in my case. Cold Canadian weather FTW! OOOHHHH! 5 cubes!!! well now that makes more sense ROFL! Can you get me a screenshot of all cubes listed on that page? If you can get more concrete numbers regarding each cubes actual usage @ the PSU ... if they are using more than what the DCDC reports then its obvious the DCDC reports its actual draw by the ASICs but is not taking into account the DCDC's own effeciency. So, I may be able to code in an effeciency compensation for the per cube power consumption then maybe the "measured" watts will be more accurate and subsequently the wall watts. |

Bitcoin / Electrum / REQUEST: Please re-add Trezor support in newer windows builds. =)

on: October 17, 2015, 03:45:01 PM

I would severely love to have this feature available again in windows. I use my trezor exclusively w/ electrum 2.3x builds.
I cant upgrade because I cant use it in newer windows builds =(
Was there a specific reason support for it was removed?
I would like it back! =)
Whats even better is using electrum-ltc & electrum to simultaneously store LTC & BTC on the trezor!
Anyone know when new electrum-ltc will come out? Its still based on 2.3x afaik.

I asked for readings from people when I started adding the wall watts code ... noone posted anything. So, I just took a pure guess and said fuck it! LOL! |

Firmware update:
Chinese translation is underway. Currently putting feelers out on chinese forums w/ preview page all translated in chinese.
If anyone knows any chinese miners that would be interested, feel free to share this with them. If enough chinese miners want the firmware I will begin translating all of the firmware =)
Also, for next release .. upon upgrading and rebooting or going to status page, it will ask what language to use. Currently its english or chinese =)
Loving your mod. Is it possible to assign certain time to certain pool so pool change will occur automatically, i.e., miner will run 12 hours on litecoinpool then automatically switch to ghash? Thanks. Yeah, that can be done via a script which changes pools through bfgminer's API. Can write a simple bash script to do that on the same pi the firmware runs on. If you have no idea how to do that, I could write one up for ya =) If it ends up bein really really simple then donate as you wish but if it ends up being a lengthy project, would want some form of payment. Feel free to PM me w/ questions. |

Just found out bout this coin, trying to set up client... in order to share storage it says I have to open port 9982(Im assuming TCP?) I have and it still wont let me host any storage.
Also, how does one configure where this storage is on my PC? like what drive letters etc...
Welcome! What error do you get? TCP port 9982 is correct. It should set up forwarding on your router, but you can go the manual way as well in case that does not work. You can't specify storage location yet. Sia is still in beta. Just keep that in mind. Are there any requirements in order to start earning for dedicating my storage?
None other that being able to host. You can host any amount of storage. If you set your price too high, you may not be selected by uploaders though. Earnings are paid out after 6000 blocks, if the data is still on your drive. Is this coin approaching death or something?
Far from it. Nearing lift-off is more like it... Thanks for the info =) I get error 400, bad request, host not reachable port 9982. I definitely have both 9982 & 9981(I saw that was a potential fix) reachable and I see traffic logged in my router at least on 9981, but theres barely any traffic on 9982. Also, where is the documentation for like command line options n stuff? Im running sia-gui windows x64 build. How is space allocated then? is it just in the launching directory the space stored or is it in a different location? How do I add the space of multiple drives then? |

Ive really come to enjoy Trezor for one of the most secure storage means possible but also being able to use that storage on the go.
LTC + BTC can also be stored on trezor at same time.
I love the fact that w/ a trezor ... even if ur paper seed(trez backup seed) is stolen, its useless to those who restore it unless they know passwords youve used on ur wallet to generate different HD trees.
This is achieved by the trezors "hidden wallets" feature.
Which subsequently secures your paper seed.
You can have as many HD wallets as passwords you can remember =)

Technically, if someone could turn the antminer s7 into a cmputer, what would the clock speed in hz be?
I assume it would be high!
Technically, if the chip operates at 600mhz ... it would be like a 600mhz computer (clock cycles strictly speaking). If you want to know computational power... thats extremely EXTREMELY difficult, if not impossible, to quantify. Its like comparing a grenade to a sniper rifle.... |
