Ummmm.... I live in Kansas. Yeah, that's it - Kansas. 123 East Nowhere Street, Podunk, Kansas. Drop by any time.... Actually they left it at my apartment door, which is in a gated, controlled access building with 24x7 security camera monitoring, and live security people during the day. Costs a freaking fortune per month to live there. It's like a data-center for people.... And I have dogs. And guns...  123 East Nowhere Street, Podunk, Kansas Seems legit OMW with more dogs and more guns . If you have 3 Dogs im bringing 10 dogs. If you have 10 guns I'll bring 50 |

That's the intention. Have to pick up a spare router on the way home - they've made it somewhat difficult to SSH into the box because the default gateway is set to something other than what my network uses, and that's the only way into the box....
There is supposed to be another Jupiter here on Thursday. The two machines for R5 and R6 should have arrived at the same time, but KNC seems to be having some shipping issues.
My intention - to keep things fair for everyone that bought into R5 and R6 is this:
Split the hashrate of the first box 50/50 between R5 and R6.
Split the hasrate of the second box that's supposed to arrive on Thursday 50/50 between R5 and R6.
I'll also split the hasrate of a third Jupiter between R5 and R6 for as many days as we were only hashing at 50%. Assuming the boxes show up when they are supposed to, that would mean I'll be splitting the output of a Jupiter between R5 and R6 (and both GB's would be mining at 150% or 725 Gh/s) for three days - from Thursday through Sunday some time.
And if the boxes don't end up showing up in a timely manner and we hit a difficulty increase, I'll also split the output of a fourth Jupiter between the two GB's for a couple of days - so the GBs would be mining at 1.1 Th/s, or 200% of what everyone purchased for those days - to make up for the difficulty increase that took place...

What can I say , Just blown away by your preparedness |

If it blows, we'll be able to track the heat signature and find you. |

So, did someone say "my preparedness"? eheh...
Problem number 1 - the box arrived pretty torn up. No evident physical damage to the case, but....
Problem #2 - there are cooler fans loose and rattling around on the inside of the case.
Problem #3 - I have no freaking idea what kind of screws hold the case on. Quick trip to the hardware store coming up.
TO BE CONTINUED....

So, the screws are something called star drive SD-20...
Case off, fans repaired, ready to unbox the corsaire PSU... Having done this many times in the past, I know enough to not put the case lid back on until after I have it running.
Possible problem #4 - besides the 4 6-pin PCIe connectors, this also requires the kind of rounded 4-pin power connector they used to use on hard-drives. I sure hope the PSU has some cable that provide that, or I'll be heading out to Radio Shack (or somewhere) trying to find one of those, too....

4 pin molex? All PSUs should have that. |

Yep, have one. Connected up, ready for smoke test #1 - 10 seconds on, check fans, see if any blinky lights blink....
EDIT: Cooler fans turn, blinky lights blink. There's a blue LED on the inside that is so bright it lights up the whole room when it blinks.
Problem #4 - only one case fan works.
Trying to plug/unplug, but the connectors are in a bad spot just under the fans. And the board they plug into has full 4 pin connectors and the fan plugs are only three - they have to be forced down onto the 4 pin connectors because they don't fit....
EDIT again: OK - skipping the fan for now. Each fan plug in under the other. I have to remove the working fan to connect the not-working fan. I'll do that later - right now, I'm about to break my network by changing my gateway IP and subnet.
If you don't hear from me for a couple of days - send a rescue party......

forcing connectors for the fan sounds wrong. please send a photo via email to me. phil |

You know how 4 pin fan connectors usually have a smaller polarizing plate that allows a three pin connector to fit on 4 pins properly? Well these connectors have a full 4 pin wide plate. Both of the three pin fan connectors were forced... One works, the other doesn't.. Can't send a picture without removing the fans - which I will do in a short while. Right now, it looks like Eligius is down - showing as dead in cgminer. The current pool hashrate is 300 Gh/s - down from 60+ Th/s Anyone have a preference for a backup pool? I can't connect to Eligius currently - it appears to be hosed. [2013-10-07 22:31:08] Accepted 171aa77d Diff 11/1 KnC 0 pool 0

I like btc guild but that's just because of their above average luck. |

Yeah - and they have decent charts. let me set up a couple of accounts and switch over to them....
EDIT: setting up accounts: dzgb5 and dzgb6 going to get the accounts configured with the proper wallet IDs and let it run for about an hour so we have a good idea about the hashrate.
Not sure how to let people audit things - maybe give out the api keys, and the GB mining payout wallet IDs?
Seems to take for-freaking-ever to reboot the Jupiter. On the order of a couple of 5 8 minutes....
I'll be putting up the pictures to go with my commentary once I get this thing hashing for the GB members.....

Also I know its basically negligible but they do pooled mining or w/e the hell its called where you get NMC's its like nothing but putting them on an exchange we get a tiny bit of BTC to help out with the ROI. |
