[CLOSED] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+NMC, Stratum, VarDiff, Private Servers

I'm on a holding pattern to buy.  With 11 Erupter Blades, I'm at the limit of what the socket will give me, lol.  Also energy cost is already about $100 a month to operate it.

Waiting on the next gen miners that are faster and uses less power.  I'm afraid of KnC from the stories I've read.

Selling my current rig still does not give me ROI.  I was hoping the full rig would last a while, but no. :-(  The difficulty has skyrocketed!

KnC is fine to run as long as you don't go unplugging power as your means to power down.

goat follow proper shutdown procedure

I haven't seen us cross it, it's hovering just below it.

Eleuthria, any projection on just the hubs? others are selling hubs only, need 1 to fill out the BE's I have currently? Like to stay loyal to BTCG

I'll likely take private orders on hubs soon.  Most the other sellers are only giving the hubs to orders of 50+, so they're guaranteed to have leftovers for people who don't order multiples of 50 (since they get 1 per 50 erupters).  I'm offering it for orders of 40+ because I figure that will likely exhaust the majority of hubs I receive since there will always be quite a few small orders that don't get hubs.

I probably won't sell them directly on the website as individual items, just due to the extremely limited supply of hubs at this time.

Wow, I already got my hub.  That was quick.
Thanks,
Sam

EDIT: Uh, is there an on/off switch on this thing?  It isn't doing anything.

[Mattster28]

On BTCGuild dashboard is the 24 hour earnings an estimate? Im sure I have never made what it says. Its always a few dollars less.

OK, as near as I ca tell the 49 port hubs don't come with a Fuse and they take an automotive type fuse.

So my theory is that since those are 12 Volt fuses and my ATX P/S supplies 30 Amps 5 Volts that comes out to using a 12.5 Amp fuse.  They don't make a 12.5 Amp fuse so I'm using a 15 Amp auto fuse.  What do you all think?

I'd try a 10 amp fuse myself. Worst that can happen is it will blow right away.

It's the sum of the last 24 hours worth of closed shifts - so it's shifted by 8 or 10 hours.

Well, I'm not so sure now.  Looking at the Auto fuses they aren't really rate for 12 Volts.  They just say 32 Volts or less on them.  And I think the voltage rating is just a function of the danger of arcing.  Sooo, I'm thinking I should just stick with 30 Amp fuse since the current is really independent of voltage as I have never seen a wattage rating for a fuse and that makes sense since they have no or very little voltage drop.

I have never really thought about fuse theory before.  But then again I have never seen auto fuses used in non auto applications before either.

I wish the would have just printed on the silly thing what it needed.  Or hey maybe they could have included a fuse?!?!.  But that would have really driven up cost's I guess .

Anyway, I have my first 10 new BE's hashing away.  I'll plug in the rest after letting it run for a while.

[Trongersoll]

too large a fuse and there is no sense in having a fuse. Fuses are protection against bad things happening.

It is not an estimate.  It is using real data.  The last 24 hours worth of closed shifts in the case of PPLNS, the last 24 hours worth of share submissions for PPS.  The only part that doesn't work is right after a difficulty change, the PPS 24-hour earnings reflects the *current* difficulty, so when diff changes, the 24-hour earnings takes a nose dive immediately rather than slowly declining over 24 hours.

Being conservative 49 BE's will pull around 27 Amps so I doubt a 10 Amp auto fuse will hold.  Plus modern P/S's have over current protection as well.  I guess I'll wait for Eleuthria to chime in before loading the thing full.

I don't get any paperwork with them.  They're just given to me to sell.  I really hate this part of it, because I have little/no knowledge of electrical stuff, only the basics (Amps * Volts = Watts, and the permutations of that).

Well maybe someone who knows about these hubs will chime it as well.  I'm not too worried about it.  I just don't want Trong to worry too much on my behalf .

27A at 5V.  10A fuse at 12V power supply might just about run it OK, assuming near 100% power conversion efficiency.   15A on the 12V would certainly work.

But the 49 Port USB Hub's pull from the 5 Volt line not the 12.  Still think the 10-15 Amp is the correct way to go?
