There are 34 shipments incoming, 3 of them just arrived. For now is just a bunch of cables, ethernet plugs and a ton of Coolermaster fans.
Those little babies should be able to keep everything cooled and nicely going. Smiley
The plan is wire those fans behind the boards. To avoid cutting the 3 pin plug, some female connectors are already on the way for a custom rewire of everything.



For power, a single 12V 50Watts PSU should do the job Cheesy
Also amazon was a piece of cake, offering me a network kit (even if it's a shitty one) for just 5 bucks...added to the cart  Grin

RIG ON SALE HERE!! --> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-600-cores-cpu-cluster-veriumreserve-cpu-only-algos-4500313

Hello guys! Smiley
I'm starting this thread because I want to keep trace of my work while building a 600 CPU cores cluster able to CPU mine VeriumReserve, render some works and other stuffs.

Concept of VRC/VRM is really impressive, especially the ASIC/GPU resistant algo and the unique binary chain, and I still think both are undervalued and only few peoples really knows what's going on with this coins.
(VeriumReserve main OP can be checked here --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1540023.2500;topicseen)

Initial investment, for me, it's huge. I mean, I work as an IT Technician and I'm 21. Pulling out 5500 € to build up something like this it's not easy. I'm not a rich guy, no rich family, nothing. Those are 5 months of wage spent in something fun, and maybe profitable too.

I've already have experience in this sector, my first mining rig was a 24 Odroid SBC's. Here's the reference, in the Italian channel.

Stop talking now! Those should be the final specs of "Sally". (Yeah, this will be her name)  Cheesy

Sally will be encased into a rack, SBC's are odroids based on the XU4 model. (ameridroid is a cool website if you are searching for SBC in the United States!)

  • 600 CPU CORES (downclocked at 1.9Ghz each)
  • 150 GB of RAM
  • 600 GB of space (8GB/sbc)

Internet connection will be provided by a single Odroid XU4 connected via WiFi to my router. Then, every other SBC will get wired connection from it.  Wink

Cool and useful references can be found here if you wish to build up something similar: https://steemit.com/@birty (Thanks to Birty)

Little disclaimer:  Everything I'll say here, is based on personal opinions, I'm not here to promote verium or other coins. I'm not a trader, I'm not an influencer and I'm not here to sell a product or promote a shop. I'm just a miner Smiley This is about "building up something".
Second little disclaimer: English is not my first language, sorry me for any typo mistakes in advance!:


I'll try to keep things updated!
Thanks!
