yeah but I can't use https://www.qbtc.com/ daily total trades of 3,400,000 usd pretty sure they are in China and won't let me join @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ https://crypto-bridge.org/ daily total trades of 663,000 usd is the one I have@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ these are really small https://tradeogre.com/ daily trade total of under 180,000 and not sure where they are based https://nanex.co/ daily trade total of under 75,000 and not sure where they are based https://cryptohub.online/ daily trade total of under 24,000 and not sure where they are based I too would like to see Raven on another larger (or even medium) sized exchange. I do know that Cryptohub is based in Argentina and I have used them (some for mining on there pool, a little for trading) for over a year and they have never robbed me. Still it's a very low volume exchange, although they do seem to be honest in my opinion.

yeah phill got to the nuts and bolts of it :
If you want to mine a high residential rates u either have to have super efficient gear which does not exist atm of offset if with solar if you plan to go big.
Btw it nakes no sense to have 700 amps of power at 240 v if you do not have the ability to draw ot least 80 percent of it from the mains. The power company would not install meters in the usa at least knowing how much you could potentially draw withoute knowing they can supply it withoute you taking out the whole blocks power lol.
when my 400 amp panel was added there was a 3 month delay becuase the needed city aproval for a new transformer.
Solar is the future for me though. I already have an order for 300 watt panels from china. 100 panels on my home roof , i think i can fit 120 max then another 40 to 80 on the garage.
its quite cheap if you can install it yourself. under 10k.
the only hold up is decideing weather to go with string inverts which i hat or micro inverters which is what i want. adding those would add another 5k or more to the inital project but makes it easier to manage the panels long term m

Yeah, if I was either younger or healthy again I'd be very keen on trying to install solar myself. As it is the installations costs are pretty crazy for the couple of quotes we had.

fucking asics makers ruining everything, thank god for x16r
does raven have more exchanges? I have a cryptobridge I would like a few more exchanges They are working on getting listed on bittrex(got the legal stuff about them not being a security done already) and will probably be listed soon,we cant really know the exact date because who ever subbmited request had to fill NDA also

I used to have a single 25 kVA pole mounted transformer feeding a 320A meter base at the house, which in turn had 2x 200A panels behind it, and a 400A meter base at my shop with a single 200A panel behind it. The 320A meter base was feed via 350 MCM Al and the shop meter base was feed via 500 MCM Al. 350 MCM Al is rated for 280A and 500 MCM Al is rated for 350A. This is at 90C btw, which the power company is allowed to use.
A 25 kVA transformer can only do about 105A (and peak loads up to about 140A or so @ 240V). Around my parts most homes with 200A service have a 15 kVA transformer, and large homes have a 25 kVA transformer. Really large residential homes have a 50 kVA transformer. A large 50 kVA is still only able to deliver 210A or so on a 24/7 basis. And once you get much past that, the 350 MCM Al wire running between the transformer and your meter base begins to become the limiting factor.
When I started consuming above 20,000 watts 24/7, I had the power company come out and swap my 25 kVA for a 50 kVA one. There was no cost to me. Where I live in rural Virginia, nothing needs to be filed or justified with the county, it is all just between me and the POCO. I just called them up one day, and 20 minutes later an engineer was at my door step and I showed my power usage and he said yep, let's swap in a 50 kVA for you.
For residential service, POCO always size based on peak loads, so having dual 400A services from a single 25 kVA is ok, as based on their experience, they never see a residential customer coming even close to pushing the continuous rating of a 25 kVA transformer.

strange way to spec a system lol, I pull 20k from my house and another 40k from my detached garage which has business service, when you spec a system here , they send a designer out to determine your needs and send out the transformer and pole after the permit process is done. I live in the city though, heavy residential are , so they have to do everything by thr book at sone point ill use all the available power we discussed that during thr interview /shrug

And once you get much past that, the 350 MCM Al wire running between the transformer and your meter base begins to become the limiting factor. Technically correct, but transformer power ratings are more of a moving target rather than a fixed number because as long as the core is sized properly for the voltage swing and frequency the power throughput is entirely dependent on the temperature rise of the windings. Taken to the extreme, that means a nearly infinite amount of power can flow through a transformer if the windings are superconductors. I know it sounds crazy, and using superconductors for windings isn't exactly practical, but it's true. Even with humble copper windings most utility distribution transformers are immersed in oil for cooling so they can take a high degree of overload for surprisingly long periods of time, particularly if the ambient temperature is well below 25-35C. Hell, one cheap way that utility companies can instantly increase a transformer's power rating is to slap some fans on it; good for at least a 25% bump in continuous load rating, as long as the higher voltage drop is permissible. When I started consuming above 20,000 watts 24/7, I had the power company come out and swap my 25 kVA for a 50 kVA one. There was no cost to me.

I just called them up one day, and 20 minutes later an engineer was at my door step and I showed my power usage and he said yep, let's swap in a 50 kVA for you. The willingness of the utility company to upgrade your distribution transformer very much depends on the particular company and municipality (and, of course, how much average power you have drawn or are projected to draw). In my neck of the woods you practically have to set the pig on fire before the utility will replace it for free, and while they will gladly upgrade it if you pay them to do so, that can take weeks for the paperwork or whatever to work its way through the various bureaucracies.

Can confirm. In Malaysia it takes 2 months just to pull 250A 3 phase power in. Meanwhile you gotta make do with the default 63A 3 phase.

for now I have been buying s9i's at under 550 from bitmain and sitting on them pangolin is now touting a 33th 2150 watt machine that is under 0.066 watts a gh the best claimed by anyone. I would have preferred it to be 20 th and do 1320 watts. But here is a link https://pangolinminer.com/557-2/1999 for it due sept 20th

With my new job I've pretty much put my farm on full auto thanks to AwesomeMiner. Have all my rigs benched/groups appropriately and let AM profit switch to whatever YIMP pool is the most profitable and I'm taking the BTC payout. According to my graphs I'm doing just fine.. sure profits are low but my power is covered, loans are covered, and I can buy toys for the farm and write them off as business expenses!

If they're using one of the more recent upgrade process versions, it's possible. They DO have a legit 28nm miner with efficiency that could argue with the Spondoolies SP20. Also, NOBODY has 7nm or 10nm in production for a miner yet - eBang will probably be the first given announced plans, unless Bitmain or Inno switch to using Samsung for a fab.

Yep BTC and LTC are asic secured and need serious money to own enough to 51% mine it. This has always been my argument against pos. MY twist on gpu mined coins is the need 3 ready_made forks to be secure against a 51% attack they also need their own algo and all 3 forks waiting. right now we have 43,432,079,575 gh for sha 256 based BTC maybe really 50,000,000,000 gh and we can divide by 14,000 or 3,571,428 s9's that is secure and hard to overcome may cost 1,785,714,285 and 215,000,000 or 2,000,000,000 in gear to attempt to attack BTC with a 51% LTC is 305,534 gh or 610,000 L3+ at 300 each 183,000,000 add 17,000,000 total 200,000,000 to attack at 51% so both LTC and BTC are protected by $$$ in gear BTC more then 2 billion is needed to attack with 51% also the net worth of the coin is 143 billion LTC more then 200 million is needed to attack with 51% the net worth is 5 billion on the new pangolin I may will get a demo to do some you tube videos https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2390138.msg42861780#msg42861780

There are other equihash coins - might have been a shift to one of those. Could also be some GPU miners pulling rigs due to low profitability, or shifting to other more profitable coins. Could also be normal "luck" variation. I suspect it's a combination of "all of the above" though.
