While were are taking about the repurposing of threads in HARDWARE...

CK can you move all the Antminer / Avalon SUPPORT threads to the MINING SUPPORT section?

Since we are talking about whole threads being not really about HARDWARE anymore.

No. Without a dedicated hardware support section, it's flexible enough for hardware announcements and discussions to turn into support threads, even though there is obviously then crossover with the mining support section. Competitions have previously been problematic though and I'd rather avoid that mistake again. The mining subsections are historical in development and no longer ideal but despite discussing this many times over we've been unable to come to something where the demarcation is clear enough to warrant a respin. I'm happy to discuss it again in meta/ if you wish to.

Exactly. You see what happens when one of the discussion threads isn't on the main page; people make new threads instead. Concentrating 3000 posts of technical help and expertise into one thread is far better than having 1500 separate threads per product which helps no one.

What SFards is doing is a competition and was treated the same as all others before it. And before the shill accounts / bick say it, no I didn't report the thread, and I don't know if CK responded to a report or actioned it organically.


I see a complete first page of Hardware dedicated to 1 fabricator support questions (Mining Support).
How does that look any different to mining support? If we don't actively push resources under their noses, people are going to post where they think its best to, not where we want them to. And that goes back to concentrated support threads being required in hardware if you don't want it to become a shitstorm of questions.


Customers reviews are also off topic
How are customer reviews... of hardware... off topic to hardware? Of course spamming 20x reviews on the same product for visibility is not constructive and should be hyper-linked from one thread, that's not being debated. And lets not dance around the issue, you're just trying to attack me again. You've already got 3 threads (including 1 self moderated) dedicated to that Roll Eyes.

i'm curious how many wb i can make with 1400...

i can buy cooper sheets 5mm thick, i can  make the channels or look for a cnc
braze it and test it at above 200psi!

1k for a sheet of 1m*2m*5cm 90kg....

Get it in 10mm sheet, then you can sandwich two halves together with a basic gasket in the middle. Route / drill a channel into each half and you've got yourself a block.

If you have no insulation I would not run a miner for anything.   I live in a farm house over 100 years old, it has went through a few redoing of electricity wiring to make it safe.   There have been at least 2 huge jobs or 3 depending on if you count when a new addition was added.

You can get a receptacle tester to will show some common wiring problems: http://www.amazon.com/GE-3-Wire-Receptacle-Tester-50542/dp/B002LZTKIA/  If you don't pass this I would not mine.

I won't get anymore off topic if you don't know your wiring and are on 110 hire a electrician to be safe when dealing with amount of watts such as S4+.  As it was designed for 220/240 and that assumes proper wiring.
To keep it on topic, the S4+ won't even power up on 110V, so the entire discussion is pretty much rendered useless Wink.  You need to throw these onto a 240V circuit, which as I mentioned earlier in the thread pretty much eliminates the vast majority of typical US households... unless you convince your better half to allow you to throw out the electric dryer and range in lieu of mining equipment Tongue

Or have an additional dedicated mining circuit wired up, which a lot of people do.

Hello Dogie, I love your work with these guides...

Do you have a CLI command's guide to check status and / or change the S5's configuration?

tia

Do you mean by putty? If you want something to monitor in bulk you can use M's miner monitor.

Accepting offers on SP35 again. And sold again.
X1 sold.
S4, Ares, Tube and C1 reduced in price.

i was talking for myself

i need it in cooper so it doesn’t get more complicated with heat exchangers extra pumps and shit

So far the AL one is 55-90USD an Copper one would be 400-1400USD.... Good luck!~

Indeed. If corrosion is considered an issue then brass coat something else.

A question or two.

  First any coupons on these?
Second what does an underclock get you?

Does anyone try this at 2200gh or 2300gh?

Doge has his chart its not bad running ay 2th

I have a full frequency range graph in my guide. Its almost perfectly linear power consumption going down due to the fixed voltage. Going up there's not enough thermal headroom for most people, and after 225 you have to start considering the PSU.

So it is not able to change freq + volts  just freq?

Correct, its string design = fixed off input voltage = ~12V / chips in string.

Overmoderation again. Especially in a SELF MODDED thread. Someone doesn't want STech thread bumped but they tend to ignore that in Bitmaintech or Avalon threads that predominate this section of the forum.

That's clearly aimed at me so I'll just make it clear; I haven't reported shit in here.


Is it just me, or is this thread shrinking? Could've sworn I saw it at 646 and 645 pages. Now it's at 644.

it is

SPTech deleting posts?  That's odd...

MIght be mods. They've been deleting shit for no apparent reason in several places.

Maybe they're dumping posts from known spam accounts or something like that.

couple of mine were deleted. Humorous, nothing ugly or terribly off topic. Seemed random. In a self moderated thread, too. I'm dead certain the owner of the thread didn't do it, he was in on the jokes. And we're friends. Besides, when has BCT EVER deleted spam or scams?

The PM will say if its deleted by a moderator or the starter of a self moderated thread.

interested! in a cooper one, not alu!

cooper more resistant in time
big rads are cooper because of the above

Making the same block from copper as it is aluminium would increase the weight 3x and the price 9x. Increasing corrosion resistance isn't worth that.

As long as you don't touch SysCooling you should do well.
If anything, you should look at a liquid cooling kit for the S5; that I would definitely buy.

Syscooling did an S5 kit. And lets be honest, they were providing entire kits for the C1 [-blocks] for less than we could buy just the radiator. You could have also bought 6 pumps from them for the same price as one of our usual retail ones. But yeah, those pumps did tend to fail a lot.
You were buying C1 radiators and pump kit parts and selling them?

No. What I mean was Syscooling was selling and shipping us entire watercooling kits for less than we could buy just the radiator in local markets.

2x Avalon3 and the 2HEX4M are sold. The SP35 is awaiting the funding of escrow.
1693  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive BitCrane T-110 Setup [HD] on: May 09, 2015, 06:59:40 PM
Heya also great overview the system Dogie if i get thus working and my buddy wants it back i probably gonna get a few. I like the Idea of stacking three but would they operate as a one worker cluster or just as three independent workers...

Again thank for any help on T-110 System Image.

I don't have a copy of the image, you'll have to get it from them. You can either set each unit up on its own worker account or combined. Separate is best as it allows you to track the performance (And problems) of individual units.

Hey Reckman,
I can see you occasionally still logon.
So, why not to remind you how much bastard you are.
Up for you, scammer.

Just report it to local law enforcement. There is likely a fraud element of this if he's actively ignoring the debt, and either you or law enforcement can pull his details from Ebay.

That's probably it. When accounts get nuked I thought it also deleted their posts, so longer threads like this one are susceptible to shrinking when posting is slow.

Hopefully we'll find out what's inside these things Q1 2015.  I mean before the end of April.  I mean 6-7 weeks from April 6th.  I mean Soon™ after it ships the first week of "Maybe".  I mean 'in the nearest time' after they sort out licensing issues for a chip.  For an order placed March 23rd.

As I predicted.

Next update will be extended delays while they wait for the 14nm Lktek chips to be ready.

If it is lktek.... most likely people would be better waiting to buy from lktek directly on thier "dragon" or what ever they decide to call it once they have their own.

I still cannot see what would cause someone to order one of these.

Agreed, could be anyone, but they'll probably pick something plausible at least.

For it to be lktek wouldn't they had to have known it was lktek before the market did?
1698  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Gauging interest. Custom Made S4/S4+ water block on: May 08, 2015, 07:56:57 AM
Sounds cool, eventually all home miners should take this route but it sounds pricey for the waterblock.  Is it just novelty?

Since right now the main thing holding back the S4/S4+ is overheating issues, and you can save 100w by pulling those fans, I am thinking that over all its going to allow more stable overclock/clocking of the units, and allow longer life of the chips as running at 65+ is rough on even good chips.
You still have to power the pump and fans on the cooler though, so power isn't what you're saving on.

That can be moved external to the inbuilt PSU to get more headroom is what he is suggesting, which is true.

It's pretty funny watching people get almost everything wrong.

admin@glados.cc had 2FA, but it was set up to forward all emails to lailai625@hotmail.com. I set it up previously and forgot I had to forwarding on. The hacker only needed to reset lailai625@hotmail.com.

And yes, I had 2FA on the linode, but they were able to get in via Lish which did not ask for 2FA at that time (still not sure if it does).

Welcome back.

Indeed. Maybe things can move on now.
