Sixth alt coin thread I forgot to mod last thread.

[VoskCoin]

I'm a big solar proponent myself.  My rigs currently consume about 10,000 watts 24/7.  My current solar arrays help offset power consumption cost.  Here's a graph from Sunday when it was nice and sunny:



Of course this being close to the darkest part of the year here in the Northern hemisphere (I'm in Virginia), we don't have that many daylight hours compared to the summer months.  Too bad the sun doesn't shine 24/7!  

I'm pretty close to bringing 2 additional solar arrays online.  Got all the panels installed Sunday along with all the micro-inverters.  Just need to pull wires for each of the 4 strings through the conduit in the ground back to the sub-panel and I'll be at 35 kW.

can I pay you to come help me setup some solar xD

Sources are coming out that NiceHash was indeed hacked and wallets are being emptied out.  I hope it is not true, but if you had a significant balance in your NiceHash wallet, be prepared for bad news.

@crazydane sorry i as in farm i meant my GPU farm lol, either I have a larger big property here in the city, with a huge back yard I was thinking of putting in two mining sheds with roofs
and them put solo panels on top of them and also solo panels on top of my house  and garage ,  looking at the size of those panels i could probbaly do 180 panels on the existing rooftops
and another 120 probbaly on mining sheds

how much wattage would i get out of 300 panels in the summer do you think ?

Your setup looks very nice and clean , impressive

So a couple of things.

For optimal performance, you want a Southern facing sloped roof with no trees or other obstructions that will cast a shadow on the panels.

A 60 cell panel like the ones I have are about 65" x 40".  I have 56 of them on my shop roof.  That building is 80' long by 36' deep so just under 3,000 sq. ft.  See pic below:



In order to accommodate 180 panels, you would need a building with a footprint of about 10,000 sq. ft. on a single level.  How large is your house?

To get another 120 on a mining shed roof, that "shed" would need to be at least twice as big as my shop building above.

300 panels @ 280W = 84,000W.  With my current 80 panel setup, I generate about 3,000 kWh a month in the summer.  With the additional 48 panels, which are at a better angle to the sun and 20W more efficient per panel compared to my current shop roof mounted panels, I should be able to get to around 5,600 kWh a month in the summer.

Here's a cool calculator to estimate production for your location:

Sure.  How much land do you have Vosk?  Open Southern Exposure?  You can pay me in 1070Ti's and S9's.

wow thats super impressive , so you must run conduit under ground to your inverter ?

oh man lol i didnt realize those panels were that big, my house is only 4000 square feet or so on a lot of 10k sqare feet , but the garage takes up close the another 2500 , my roof is huge though but with a huge slope probably could do as many panels as you have on your shed
but the slope could be an issue like you said , half of them would not be facing south.



theres a picture of the whole lot from the from and top

the guy right next to me installed solar on a small part of his roof and he said his installers were drooling over my roof so that got me thinking

oh boy..... I am shitting in my pants now.

All of my GPU rigs are mining on backup pools (mph, btg.suprnova, xmr.nanopool) --- so thats ok.

But last my 24hours earnings may well be gone now... if truly this is a hack job ... I can only imagine how Nicehash recover from this disaster...

@ Marvell2 -- Rule #1 - always have backup pools.

I didnt have to do anything... seems NH servers just went offline - maybe deliberate from NH side, well kudos to them if they did this to prevent the bad guys from doing anymore damage.
My GPU farms just went to their normal backup pools at configured centrally at MRR.

no backup pool set?

I am sure there are tons of haters at Nicehash forum thread now...

I am live on pool mining.

of fuck man I just doubled checked my 7 asics and they have been mining on the factory default backup pool for the last 10-16 hours , i forgot to remove them and set up backups since i thought
nicehash was 100% bulletproof, so I basically wasted power and hash for nearly a day

yeah i got screwed on this , basically 2 days of earning poof , if they don't pay back what was stolen , all my miners are set to backup BCC pools now
suprnovca and Dash on Miningpoolhub. 

Now i have to find a 3rd backup pool for all these boxes now

Wow that would suck if Nicehash got hacked.  I had all my hashing power pointing there as well.

[P00P135]

Yeah that does suck if its true, but on the bright side difficulty plummeted on a lot of coins and I'm reaping the rewards 

[citronick]

I wonder which coins will benefit with Nicehash offline ?

NVIDIA based coins and algos?

If I am reading what to mine correct... Zcash and Zen dropped over 20% network hash rate

Yes, any coin with a fast adjusting difficulty that was highly variable mined before. Some low cap/small coins might bring huge profits soon.

My nVidia rig is on Zpool mining Neoscrypt. The last few hours profit has picked up massively. Maybe the two are correlated... In any case I don't think I had any meaningful dormant balance on NH. Hope it ends well for you Citronick.

Current GPU farm is on backup pool suprnova BTG -- but I may swing this to zpool/Neoscrypt --- both NVIDIA and AMD farms.

I wonder if the whole BTC network is affected by this because there are tons of SHA256 hash being rented out to pools ...

... maybe Roger Ver and his BCH gang hopping mad now because they cant rent hash to mine their blockchain

Zen got a nice boost for me.

Guys, how safe is to buy a ledger nano s or a trezor from amazon or ebay, instead of buying it directly from the factory? is there any way the wallet could be compromised or its hardware or software modified?
