BTCGuild has done one heck of a job bypassing all the DDOS stuff. It's where I go when everything else is screwed up.

Here's the unboxing photos....

FRAGILE <-- they don't give a crap after it leaves the driver it goes on conveyer belts and has almost no human contact.

EDIT: So cool! Thanks for the photos! Looks amazing! Crazy it arrived in this condition with the fans like that!! Shocked

Did you have time to upgrade the firmware?

Eligius seems back up
I've heard good things with https://deepbit.net/

Let's try to avoid a pool with high fees and that gets DDos a lot.

They get ddos'd because ppl get angry that they are so "lucky" i was making much more btc there than any other pool I had my miners on...now just waiting on bobsag3 to direct them to the btcguild servers.

Well crud - guess I have to set up somewhere for the nmc to go, too...

Edited my last post on the previous page. Might want to go back to it.

Holy crap that blue LED on the inside is bright. Did somebody forget a series resistor, or what?

Yeah - and they have decent charts. let me set up a couple of accounts and switch over to them....

Also I know its basically negligible but they do pooled mining or w/e the hell its called where you get NMC's its like nothing but putting them on an exchange we get a tiny bit of BTC to help out with the ROI.

adding NMC is aprox +2%

EDIT: setting up accounts: dzgb5 and dzgb6 going to get the accounts configured with the proper wallet IDs and let it run for about an hour so we have a good idea about the hashrate.

Not sure how to let people audit things - maybe give out the api keys, and the GB mining payout wallet IDs?

Seems to take for-freaking-ever to reboot the Jupiter. On the order of ~~a couple of~~ 5 8 minutes....

I'll be putting up the pictures to go with my commentary once I get this thing hashing for the GB members.....

You know how 4 pin fan connectors usually have a smaller polarizing plate that allows a three pin connector to fit on 4 pins properly? Well these connectors have a full 4 pin wide plate. Both of the three pin fan connectors were forced... One works, the other doesn't..

Can't send a picture without removing the fans - which I will do in a short while.

Right now, it looks like Eligius is down - showing as dead in cgminer. The current pool hashrate is 300 Gh/s - down from 60+ Th/s

Anyone have a preference for a backup pool? I can't connect to Eligius currently....

I like btc guild but that's just because of their above average luck.

Yep, have one. Connected up, ready for smoke test #1 - 10 seconds on, check fans, see if any blinky lights blink....

EDIT: Cooler fans turn, blinky lights blink. There's a blue LED on the inside that is so bright it lights up the whole room when it blinks.

Problem #4 - only one case fan works.

Trying to plug/unplug, but the connectors are in a bad spot just under the fans. And the board they plug into has full 4 pin connectors and the fan plugs are only three - they have to be forced down onto the 4 pin connectors because they don't fit....

EDIT again: OK - skipping the fan for now. Each fan plug in under the other. I have to remove the working fan to connect the not-working fan. I'll do that later - right now, I'm about to break my network by changing my gateway IP and subnet.

If you don't hear from me for a couple of days - send a rescue party......

forcing connectors for the fan sounds wrong. please send a photo via email to me. phil

So, the screws are something called star drive SD-20...

Case off, fans repaired, ready to unbox the corsaire PSU... Having done this many times in the past, I know enough to not put the case lid back on until after I have it running.

Possible problem #4 - besides the 4 6-pin PCIe connectors, this also requires the kind of rounded 4-pin power connector they used to use on hard-drives. I sure hope the PSU has some cable that provide that, or I'll be heading out to Radio Shack (or somewhere) trying to find one of those, too....

4 pin molex? All PSUs should have that.

So, did someone say "my preparedness"? eheh...

Problem number 1 - the box arrived pretty torn up. No evident physical damage to the case, but....

Problem #2 - there are cooler fans loose and rattling around on the inside of the case.

Problem #3 - I have no freaking idea what kind of screws hold the case on. Quick trip to the hardware store coming up.

TO BE CONTINUED....
