What would the required minimum hash rate be to keep the herp from rolling back I'm assuming this varies based on other factors Is there a formula for this? Your current hashrate keeps the herp constant indefinitely if the pool's hashrate is constant...

Ok, so I have my 841 set up and it's been working for the last few days. A couple observations:

I work in a business where I record audio. I was thinking that I would just turn off the miner when I needed to record, however that won't be the case. Even with the settings that philipma1957 posted, that fan is so loud that I can't work in the same room while it's on. It's a one room office hahah. So, I'll just be mining when I'm not there. That will certainly impact my ranking.
I'm currently ranked 480. I know there is ramp-up time and that the 841 has a decent hash rate. However, I only have one unit, and that one unit will be only running an average of about 14 hrs/day. It'll probably be years for me too before I see anything. I guess that's just the nature of the beast. I'll watch the ranking and see if this will be worth my while. I'm probably going to be moving from this office in 4-5 years. Oy. I wouldn't worry about the ranking. Your single 841 working 24/7 wouldn't make it anyway, so you will have to make a line with the rest of small miners and be paid according to your time in the waiting line. In this pool you will not get paid on every block, but you WILL get paid, just don't expect it soon, unless the hashrate climbs significantly. Asic miners are loud industrial beasts, 77db is considered "normal". The only "Silent miner" that ever was, was the R4 (i own one). Maybe the S7 LN previous to that, but the R4 was specifically designed to be silent, and it truly is (50db at 100%). Sadly nobody made something like it again. I'm sure a MicroBT with two boards, or sn S17, with a similar design would do wonders, oh well home use is not their target, 99% of the mining is done in warehouses where noise is not a problem. My only hope is someone designs a mod case to recreate the R4 design with current hardware, if that fan is available somewhere, but knowing the Chinese it should be...

That would be pretty great for sure. I do have one other little trick up my sleeve I may try: https://i.ibb.co/Vv89qN8/IMG-4610.jpgI have this huge wooden, acoustically insulated, fanned case that I originally bought for my computer when I was setting up the recording studio. Being I'm right next to a loading dock, it's rather moot and I rarely close the doors on it. Temps would get into the 90F or low 100s with the computer in there and the doors closed, so there's a good chance it won't work with the beast that the 841 is. That said, I may still try it. (Maybe with a tube going directly from an AC unit into the fan intake of the case.) That would be a pretty major re-working of the studio, but... if I get a lot more hours out of it, it may be worth the trouble. I have enough gear scattered about that I don’t have to shift.

Cool. Got it. Thanks! I may fool around with some things just out of curiosity, (I'm such a sucker for automation) but that approach certainly works. Thanks again!

You can foam out a grow tent will help. As loud as they are the LP firmware from bitmain and canaan has dropped fan speed quite a bit then it is winter here.

Last night I had a good meal followed by some very nice home made Vanilla vodka. Got a little tipsy and forgot to post photos A skirt steak with a side of kale, onions, and melted aged Havarti cheese vodka that has had many split sticks of vanilla beans soak in it for months lastly my coffee cup of vanilla vodka just about finished off. my apologies for not posting it last night. Since the block was delayed. I realize I should post it today to please the block gods of Btc

That would be a great sacrifice tossing a few drops alone is hard but a bit would have to be at least ½ of a teaspoon. I like that vodka a lot I don't know bro.

That wooden case looks promising, but you might want to mod it with larger holes/fans. And if you get dust you will have to periodically stop the miner and clean it.

I have decided I was selfish and I have made a sacrifice of some vodka more then a bit maybe ¼ of a cap. lets see what happens

Hello, I just bought a TTBIT 10GH/s usb stick and I put it to mine at depool.ckpool.org as a lottery. I'm trying to see it, using the tools and searching with the mining BTC address but it is not shown. Do you have any suggestion? cgminer says that it mines at an average of 10.5 GH/s Thank you in advance

Better to put it on the solo pool de.ckpool.org Thats the one that runs as a lottery. The pool you have it on is the normal pool where 10GH will only earn 5c/month if and when a block is found The solo pool is where you could find a block and if you do you get the big prize

Solo is where it is at for a small stick.
