NastyFans: The Bitcoin Enthusiast Fan Club (est. 2012)

[OgNasty]

Why are the minted seats so expensive? For 0.5 BTC I could buy 10 seats and still have enough left over for 5-6oz silver. That is a steep price to pay for 1 seat + 1oz.

Indeed.  These are extremely unique and limited.  When they're gone, they're gone (only 100 of the 5oz coins will be minted).  There are also lots of costs involved.  Everything from having the dies crafted, generating the vanity addresses, creating designs, manufacturing holograms, replacing engraver heads, buying shipping materials, & time have to be considered.  50% of the price is also a donation to NastyFans.

The 5oz coin will be cheaper on a per oz basis, but will still not be close to the spot price of silver and online seats sold separately.

I have a tracking number for 5 Monarchs.

That is good news.
I look forward to seeing how they run.

Well Hallelujah!

I would love to see some pictures of these...I have some GPU frames you could mount them to if you like.

I'll post some pictures at some point next week.  Thank you for the frames offer, but I believe they're shipping them with the "sleds" so I don't think a GPU frame is needed.  I did also buy some shelves for the mining closet, so hopefully everything works out.  In anticipation of the Monarchs, I have relocated the CoinTerra rig and lowered it's power setting so it can run without needing direct access to the air conditioning unit.

Monarchs are up and running.  You can now view our overall hashrate (~5TH/s) by finding NastyMining on the NastyPool Miners List.

I would be curious to know how loud those are.

They are nearly silent...  Compared to the garbage that CoinTerra shipped, these things are gold.

Thanks for the pics Og! Any numbers as to efficiency so far?  Edit- How much longer are we getting the cloudmining?

[oldcrow]

How warm do the power connectors get at the point they attach to the board's headers?

My kill-a-watt died a while back when I tried to measure 20+ amps with it.  If anyone wants to spring for me to order a new kill-a-watt meter for myself, I would be more than happy to take measurements.  We are getting cloudmining for another ~280 days if my dashboard can be believed.

EDIT: Kill-a-watt meter and IR gun have been ordered for me by a generous fan.  Will have power/temp readings whenever Amazon gets me the goodies.

They are cool to the touch.

Son of a bitch, there they are. Want to sell one to me for hacking purposes :-)

Thanks for this. What type of power supplies are you using? How many?

[Bees Brothers]

FedEx should be delivering a new/used PSU any moment now.  But it won't be until late tonight that I am home and the boys can get that BFL single turned on again.

[ManeBjorn]

My single ate several PSUs as well.
I got it going again but they are fickle. LOL

It looks like BFL has started disabling our cloudmining.     I guess the days remaining that was shown in the cloudmining dashboard was inaccurate and they are shutting off cloudmining upon shipping the units.
