Building a 600 CORES - Supercomputer to mine VeriumReserve

[slovakia]

600 cores ? am i reading this right?

 75 machines of ODROID HC1   8cores x 75 = 600 cores  
my opinion is better way build 15x Ryzen 1700 .. better for mining CPU coins+sharing STORJ

Well, buying 15x Ryzen, will cost  around 4100 eur in Italy. Then you should buy motherboards, hard drives, and psu. It will definetly cost more. Also the power draw will almost double

450€ for complete machine in .SK ... your odroid is oldguy.....ryzen 1700 with hdd sharing will be better choice,trust me,i know what talking about

Well I think everyone is free to do whatever he wants, I've decided using SBC's for this project. You could do something similar with Ryzen and create another thread. Could be interesting!

Interesting! I'll be waiting for your result.

jacko! 

i hope you 're doing well please submit your hashrate when you have done.

but i think its better to mine with others things. there is no roi. you have just burnt your vrm wallet

Edit: seems like the biggest delivery is 1 day delayed. No other pics for today 

[jacko0088]

Received TONS of eth plugs, cables and accessories for today. Unfortunatly my shipment from Poland will take two days more.

What is your expected power consumption for 600core machine?

What is your expected power consumption for 600core machine?

Hi, please note those are rough calculations, we'll see the total power consumption only after I'll plug in the cable!

900-950  watts for SBC and controller
50 watts for the fans
then, add another 50-60 watts for the network switches, PSU dispersion and more..

Should be around 1100 watts at the wall, more probably 1200.

so what profits do you expect from this?

so what profits do you expect from this?

1,3 years for ROI at the moment, you can calc it

Hi,

nice project, keep us  informed and share some nice Pics, really looking forward to see updates!

[jacko0088]

Finally the first batch, including rack, power supply distribuitor and more is here!
Was a bit tricky without any manual, but yeah, the rack is done!
Now is time to add some nice fuses holders to the psu boards, in order to have a more fast way to replace fuses if they blow up.











 

[jacko0088]

Okay this was literally "the most long day".
To make sure everything works well, I've added 100 fuseholders on the power supply distribuitor, with 100 4A fuses. Replacing fuses will be more easy now.
Fortunatly a friend of mine helped me in this crazy thing! Here's a couple of pictures.





Now I'm just came back, and found three nice new packages at home! Here you can see tons of MicroSD  



Also three 52 port network switches were delivered!



Time to go sleep now !

Interesting topic, I would say it is a good idea to use ARM cpu to mine Verium. Looking forward for your mining rig.

[jmigdlc99]

At first i thought this was just another spam topic but wow, impressive build.
1100w for a 600 core build is not bad.

Can you share your profit calculations? How long do you expect ROI?

Will keep checking back for updates on your build. In the meantime i'll look into mining vericoin as well. I feel like i've been living under a rock only finding out about vericoin now.

8 cores with only 2 GB RAM. Good luck mining Verium with that.
Can't find any specs, any SIMD instructions? Cache size?

Already mined more than 4k of vrm with odroids. Atm those sbc are the only way to mine verium without spending tons in electricity. Comparing costs/hashrate, there's nothing else better than those boards.
