hi all ...
first ...
donation access have been slightly changed so that when you do mine for the devs and look at the nicehash link - you will not be confused by whether you are mining the right link ...
when the stratum proxies are active - under the nicehash graph is the worker for the dev selected WITH their name now ... so if you scroll down below the graph on the nicehash page - you will see the name of the dev and the current hashrate that is being pushed through that link ...
for example ... if you are mining scrypt for doantion to wolf0 - and check the nicehash site - you will see his name under the graph ...

second ...
some of the servers have been changed over to the newer systems and has been completed a week ago ...
the whitelist for the servers on nicehash needed to be changed - and a request sent to nicehash support ... unfortunately ( by a mistake on my part ) the whitelist was not complete ... which means there are a couple of servers ( including ace / crysx - so im not exclusive to this ) that are now not functional on the nicehash system ...
these are ...
- donate-ace.granitecoin.com / donate-crysx.granitecoin.com ( same server ) ...
- donate-pallas.granitecoin.com ...
sorry pallas ... you are stuck with me on this one ...
nicehash support have been emailed with all the correct details - and i await their reply ...
third ...
two new servers have been commissioned and are active - but are awaiting confirmation from nicehash that they also will be added to the nicehash whitelist ...
these are ...
- donate-tnelson ...
- donate-stratehm ...
the op and the devs details willl be updated shortly ...
fourth ...
due to the massive attacks we have recently ( killing two of our servers ) - we have been looking at various ways to combat such issues as ddos attacks ...
as of 12 hours ago - we are now running ALL our servers and systems including the website through cloudflare ...
as we grow - and the systems become more complex and more accessible - we will expand the security further ...
fifth ...
slack channel #granite ...
our new slack channel is now open - and i will be frequenting the channel often ...
pm me the email addresses of those who want to be a part of the discussions ...
sixth ...
thefarm is undergoing changes ... big ones ...
- new cooling for thefarm ...
- new design for thefarm ...
- splitting of thefarm ... amd / nvidia ...
- new and improved premises for thefarm ...
- new systems in place for thefarm ...
all these things and a few more are being implemented currently ...
the amd section of thefarm has been separated - will now be private - and will be taken off the rental systems ... it is now being used exclusively inetrnally and for the development of 'bigger and better things' ...
the nvidia section of thefarm will continue the way it has been going - with the exception of a few upgrades ... i am working on a design for a frame to contain the machine that will house and protect the new gpus ... this design will encompass the requirement for the gpus that use more power than that of the gigabyte 750ti oc lp cards we are currently using in thefarm ... yes - i am talking about housing the gigabyte 980ti g1 gpus - 6 at a time - with room for upgradability ... which will allow for other larger cards to be slot right in also ...
this is a longer term project - but will be the one that replaces all the machines in thefarm eventually ... it is being designed from the ground up - to be modular AND easy to connect - install - and move ...
plug the network cable and power cables - setup where to mine - and start mining ... simple - solid - stable ...
more updates soon ...
ill be copying this same message on the granite thread - as ive melded the updates together ...
have fun mining ...
