The 14" x 6" vent cover is on.  

Closet view:



I'm heading to Lowe's to get a 14" x 6" filter.  I may have to cut something down to size to fit.  We'll see...  

Gotta drink some coffee first to wake up!

You can see where the foam insulation was trimmed out from the garage view.  I have another 14" x 6" vent cover plate to cover this hole in the garage after I install the filter.

Thank you.  You're very kind.  

I'm just slapping it up kind of quick when I have the time.  

I'm not worried about painting THIS closet.  If and/or when we ever sell this house, I will dismantle it if the buyer likes and fill in the holes then paint.  Who knows, they (the buyer) may want me to leave it the way it is and paint it.

I'm remodeling the entire downstairs.  I still need to put grout in the tile in this closet and another closet downstairs.

You been doing a great job on all that. Looks great and I'm sure it works great!

I get about 6 hours sleep on average since I started mining.

Yes, it is the same room (closet) downstairs in the Recreation Room to the right of where my rigs are presently set up.  Please ignore the shoe racks, the mess, etc...  That stuff will not be in this closet when I'm finished and everything will be cleaned up.



I'm thankful the electricity costs will be VERY manageable during these winter months to allow me to buy S4's more often till I reach the eight units I'm wanting to get.

I may also get Alabama Power to run me a second 200 AMP meter to the house to put more S4's in the garage on the shelves you see in the pic above.  I'm moving it out to the garage when I've finished this data/mining closet.

OR I might install something else on my roof for extra power.  I'm making another post devoted to that next.

^ Do you ever stop long enough to sleep? Better slow down or you're gonna get a ticket is that the same room?

Who knows... What I'm doing may give someone else ideas.  Maybe better ones.  If so, please share...

My mining/data closet is coming along slowly but surely.  I've put up shelves that are 20 inches deep.  However they are 3 inches away from the back of the closet to allow room for power cords, etc.  You can see this in the 2nd picture.  

You also see a 14 inch x 6 inch rectangular hole I've cut out in the bottom corner going into the adjacent garage.  I've sprayed a foam insulation that hardens up over time.  I need to trim it after it hardens.  I will be putting vent cover plates on the garage side and inside the closet to cover the rectangular hole once I've trimmed out the excess foam.  I will also put a 14" x 6" filter inside between the garage and closet vents to keep dust in the garage from coming into the closet.

I've also put several strips of wood going across for extra support (bracing).  It is 43.5 inches from right to left and 13 inches between each shelf.

The existing top shelf is only 16 inches deep.  I'm leaving it alone.

S4's are approximately 5.5 inches tall (top to bottom), 17.25 inches wide and 17.02 inches deep (front to back).  Being they are 5.5 inches tall, I can stack two (2) S4's on top of one another and still have 2 inches clearance from the shelf above them.  I designed this so that four (4) S4's will go on the bottom shelf and four (4) S4's on the next shelf above it.  

The four S4's on each shelf will take up 34.25 inches of the 43.5 inches width of each shelf.  This leaves me approximately 9 inches space between each double stack of S4's on each shelf.  That extra 9 inches can be used to double stack two S3's with PSU in between the four S4's on each shelf.  Fourteen (14) S3's will be on the 3rd shelf from the bottom.  Not sure what I will use the top shelf for (4th from the bottom).  I might use it to place my 48 port switch.  Still thinking about it.

This has been planned out to also put 3 more S4's stacked on top of one another on the floor in front of the 14" x 6" vent I just installed.





Just a pic showing the 3" space from the back of the closet wall to allow room for cords, etc...




Then next thing to do is cut an 8 inch circular hole near the ceiling and install duct work going to this 8 inch 720 CFM fan I purchased.  The closet is 122 CFM.  So, this fan with variable resistor should be PLENTY of CFM to suck cool air in from the garage through that 14" x 6" vent up through and around the miners into the 8 inch exhaust fan near the ceiling.

The reason I went with this 8 inch instead of 6 inch or 4 inch is to make sure I had plenty of suction to pull out the heat.  I wanted the re-istat (variable resistor) to turn down the speed of this bad boy so it would not be too loud.  Also, having the larger fan with re-istat turned down allows the fan to last longer than a smaller fan turned up at too high of a speed to contend with getting all the heat out.



More pics to come when I'm finished.

Yes, I could be more wrong.

Don't take my last response literally, it's just a phrase. Of course you could be more wrong.

This is old news, but an interesting concept:

Thaddeus Dryja's "proof of idle" idea:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN2TPeQ9mnA

The idea is to get paid NOT to mine, because it is economically rational for everybody to keep the difficulty lower rather than higher (everybody saves money on electricity if everybody can somehow agree to keep their equipment idle). Thaddeus figured out a way of solving the coordination problem so nobody can lie about how much mining power they have or profit from cheating and running miners that they promised to keep idle.

AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!
NEVER use  the I -word!
Not even in jest.

It has enough confirms now that it is looking good. Now if we could only find 4 more just like that today.
Ok, everyone speak soothingly to your miners while gently patting it, that ought to do it

Minersource sells them individually. the 60 min is from Bitmain (and at that quantity they are only $56 each) They are supposedly shipping with a power brick but without the power cord for the brick.

In other news if you happen to have some hash at ck's solo pool you may wanna check your wallet as a block was found last night

I have 2 prisma's on the way as soon as up will report I will be using a rasp pi with new cgminer so should not have any of the problems with certain pools the BE controller had with the tubes (btw those problems were not on Slush's pool) as far as data from those that are running 1400-1440 gh/s at about 1200 w from the wall is what most are seeing

i checked with my buddies PC.

You're right.

I couldn't be MORE WRONG.

I looked through your benchmark link but it doesn't contain any data for slush's pool =( I'm guessing the best thing to do is to load balance all 3 pools simultaneously (slush, btcguild, ghash) and share my hashes evenly, since it's all based on luck.

Edit: getting a piece of a pie is better then getting no pie i assume. This way I am guarantee 3 pie pieces, instead of hoping for 1 big pie or no pie at all.

It's not called variance, it's called load balancing. Variance is something completely different to what you describe.

I have 3 Tubes (from the same family) pointed here using the Tube controller. All are performing fine in the 850 to 900 range at a 290 clock.

I use the benchmark test in this link for reference.  I have miners here and BTCguild. My neice has 1050ghs over at the dark side(she has a miner that doesn't preform well at most other pools). I can tell you those pools in that link do better than ghash almost every month. I guess due to ghash having a lot of down time and orphans? You have to look over time to really compare.

I will also recommend that you devide your hashrate between at least 2 different pools. It's called Variance. I keep 80% here and 20% at BTCguild. That way if one pool is having bad luck the other May be doing good. A hash is a hash. Don't keep all your eggs in one basket.

You don't say when you started and stopped.  Shares on Slush lose value rapidly, so that old shares become worthless after a while.  If you ran your test in the middle of the recent long round, then your reward would have petered out to zero pretty quickly.  It's to discourage pool hoppers.  If you tell us the timing of your test, and the number of shares credited to you, somebody will be able to give you a more definitive answer.  BTCguild operates a different scoring system, and I have never used the Evil Empire so I don't know how they work.

One hour is hardly a fair test of any pool.  You need to give it at least 24 hours - preferably considerably longer.  Try running all three pools evenly balanced for perhaps 3-4 days and compare your earnings.  Over the last 72 hours or so, my earnings from Slush and BTCguild have been more or less the same for roughly the same hashing power.

When were you testing? Slush uses a score based algorithm to deter poolhopping that weighs each share based on when it was submitted. Shares near the start of a block are worth less than shares near the end.
