Since I have one of each here at home -- I ran downstairs and checked.

Just slightly less than 2" longer.

If you are considering -- hold off just a bit -- they sold 999 to their chinese customer with a free power supply and a coupon today.

They'll probably be discounted here soon -- hopefully.

This machine is going to be an AWESOME PRODUCER!!!

In a couple of hours would you post your temperatures please?
Mine arrived today and its been running in a cooled server room to 17 Deg.
Im pushing 60 Deg PCB and 92 Chip temp.
You know how it is when you get new hardware, like to keep an eye on it closely.
Just getting to grips about temps on these new beasts.

I have been Googling around looking at setting minimum mining difficutly on the pool.
I found a quick calculation of gh/s / 1.4.
For my S7's this gives me about 3400
For my S9 this gives me about 9100

snip

Does it take this setting as gospal and just feed the miner work at this difficulty level or will it increase the difficulty to compensate for shares per minute?

That just sets the base difficulty.  The pool will set it higher if need be.

Your base difficulty won't have any effect on your earnings, just higher variance maybe in the short run.

Thanks. Ill keep things are the gh/s divided by 1.5 so that should be a pretty good starting place.
I figured the pook would just increase the value if needed from reading up on pool difficulty.
Error rate is definately lower on the last miner work restart when the last block was solved than using a factor of 1.4.

Thanks for the reply, appreciated.

Trying to micromanage like this will drive you mad. Changing work difficulty has no effect on intrinsic error rates at the miner end, nor stales, nor anything else that matters and looking for the random differences in one run to another is fooling you. Since ckpool is very good at picking the right work difficulty for you, there really is no reason to adjust pool diff yourself. We pretty much only support it for legacy reasons since people expect it to be there, and some random old broken hardware doesn't work without fixed pool diffs.

It would be easier to just post one to the 2 machines I had hooked up there yesterday.

Their ambient temperature is 82 at the highest and down to 65

This is after running the machines for 22 hours

Oh -- and sorry for all the stuff he drew on the chart -- he thought that I was new to mining





The one I have running here at the house for chip temps is 93/89/96 -- at the height of heat here in Atlanta.


EDIT:  And here is a quote from the S9 topic thread...

Only critical one is chip temp. Anything under 100C is fine, 95 or less ideal but you need reasonable ambient to do that. Not great but I have a b1 running at highest die temp of 100-102C, works fine.

Danger point starts around 110, Bitmain usually specs an absolute max junction (die) temp of 125C

Have you noticed that the whole network can't find block 421757 for over 40 min now?

UPD:  wow, it's over 50 minutes now...

UPD: wish we found it, but at last this more-than-an-hour block is a part of today's story of lazy blocks))

[kano]

WHERE ARE YOU -----  YOU BIG RED BLOCK?

ha ha good timing -- that diff..... is that a trillion?

No payouts ? lol

2am down under

so next block?

i think kano has already queued the payouts, he usually manually send it out as soon as he can

Nah, I (almost) always queue them in time (well about 1 minute after)

It's just that every so often we get a VERY quick block that has no free txns in it.
This one was a 13.1s block change so it didn't include our free tnxs.

They'll be in the next block.

Block by ZachM with 9.58THs and his 2nd for Kano! 

[VRobb]

Nice one, zach!  Block on!

[ZACHM]

Awesome! Didn't know I found it until I saw those two posts! 
I think I'll go give that S7 a little pat on the head.

Why the blocks are taking so long? (In the network I mean)

[philipma1957]

Why the blocks are taking so long? (In the network I mean)

There are a lot,of s-5s and older gear being turned off.

Before the 1/2 ing an s-5 at 6 cents power made money.

Now after 1/2 ing all gear older then the s-7 or Avalon 6.

Is losing money.

So we have downward pressure on hash rate.

There is close to 300-400 ph in old gear even if s-9 are coming on line a lot of old gear is shut down.

Thus slower hash rate

so with 3 cents power s5's are still viable?

I tend to agree, Phil. I know I'm running six S3s at home, but only because the power is free (and that's all the amps I have). I've got an S2 that's gathering dust, but would be OK for someone with free power. Once I can put an S9 online here at home (I also have three S7s in Labrador that are still solvent), I've got three other low-income disabled folks with free power who will receive the older units, with the objective being to learn mining whilst getting nominal return, and saving up for better hardware. I was waiting until after the halving to go ahead with the project, but it's obvious now it's going to work. It's kinda exciting.

So who are the ftards doing the huge NH rentals and killing the luck?

Let block-freaking-Friday commence! 
Make it a good one!! 
GREEN BLOCKS!

OK, I give up, Chelsea gets a feature picture of just before her death, as a sacrifice to the block gods.

Sadly I'm one of those renters.

Looking into nice hash to establish why so many blocks are being withheld by them.
By now my hash rate should have hit a block but it hasn't.
Action needs to be taken against nice hash. Ending my rentals within a week to cut losses
