Building a 600 CORES - Supercomputer to mine VeriumReserve

[Junkbarman]

This is awesome, can't wait to see pictures of everything and see some results.
Bravo sir, bravo.

[CryptoKhajiit]

That is definatly an epic project! Good luck!

And...

Should I say "I'm getting angry?" 

...have patience!

Ok new psu is OK, solution is buy 10 new PSU. DAMMIT!

..order placed

This is a very interesting project.
It inspired me to also investigate in this area too.
So I have bought the cluster version of the your boards which is available now: Odroid-MC1

[laineux]

This thread inspired me too

I try to mine VRM with a ryzen 1950X.
No block found during almost 7 days mining

[zukko]

The author is a real maniac I'd really like to see real photos of the finished farm

[belgeran]

Hmm, you should've hit at least one block in all that time. Lots of us Verium miners use SBC rigs and I've never heard anything about higher h/m machines being more suited for the job. Have you joined the Slack? https://vericoinandverium.slack.com/messages

how do i join?.... it says i need an invite from the owner of the workspace..

yea i hit a few blocks just a few days back... and wow... the network hash rate doubled these few days...

Pretty ambitious. I wonder what speed you can get moving at. If you are not careful the tech and hardware that you start with will be old school to mining before finishing the project. It will be a nice thing to watch. I like the fact that you back down the CPU's, rather than try to push them the other direction, that has a good effect on your longevity. Seems you will get a good bit done before there will even be a glitch or oddity to run down.

It seems pretty dead to me... Since 17th Dec. no update from the OP... Pity..

Just waiting the PSU's and enjoyin vacations.. 

[cryptovagas]

ooh jacko you are still waiting for packages x_X
how can you be so patient with shipping companies, if it was me i had been killed few of their staff till now

was out for few days, but i am back and will wait for your updates

[Hitman1975]

Does someone know how to setup an Odroid XU4 to mine Verium in a Pool?
thx

[car1999]

it's crazy, looking forword your hashrate.

Clone and compile veriumMiner from github, then launch it. Its linux

Glad you did not abandoned this project! Looking forward to it! Good job!

Hi jacko,

Have you brought your monster online?
I see many hash changes on some altcoins, thiught it may be you

[jacko0088]

Hi jacko,

Not yet, delivery at 26th...

Ooh so you have some silent competitor, will try to find where it was from
And still wish you success on your project

Hello guys!
I'm starting this thread because I want to keep trace of my work while building a 600 CPU cores cluster able to CPU mine VeriumReserve, render some works and other stuffs.

Concept of VRC/VRM is really impressive, especially the ASIC/GPU resistant algo and the unique binary chain, and I still think both are undervalued and only few peoples really knows what's going on with this coins.
(VeriumReserve main OP can be checked here --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1540023.2500;topicseen)

Initial investment, for me, it's huge. I mean, I work as an IT Technician and I'm 21. Pulling out 5500 € to build up something like this it's not easy. I'm not a rich guy, no rich family, nothing. Those are 5 months of wage spent in something fun, and maybe profitable too.

I've already have experience in this sector, my first mining rig was a 24 Odroid SBC's. Here's the reference, in the Italian channel.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1886674.0

Stop talking now! Those should be the final specs of "Sally". (Yeah, this will be her name)  

Sally will be encased into a rack, SBC's are odroids based on the XU4 model. (ameridroid is a cool website if you are searching for SBC in the United States!)

• 600 CPU CORES (downclocked at 1.9Ghz each)
• 150 GB of RAM
• 600 GB of space (8GB/sbc)

Internet connection will be provided by a single Odroid XU4 connected via WiFi to my router. Then, every other SBC will get wired connection from it.  

Cool and useful references can be found here if you wish to build up something similar: https://steemit.com/@birty (Thanks to Birty)

Little disclaimer:  Everything I'll say here, is based on personal opinions, I'm not here to promote verium or other coins. I'm not a trader, I'm not an influencer and I'm not here to sell a product or promote a shop. I'm just a miner This is about "building up something".
Second little disclaimer: English is not my first language, sorry me for any typo mistakes in advance!:


I'll try to keep things updated!
Thanks!

I agree that the Vericoin/Verium combo is very interesting project. Dual blockchain cool concept. Very under-valued.

Me too, I plan to buy MC1 to soon. But my curiousity is jacko0088 mentioned he uses hc1, I noticed that hc1 is cheaper but without display output, then how to configure it? Any resources on net about this issue?
