I spent 3-4 hours in the loft today.  and I got all the gear stable

There is a mystery issue where boards drop off  but still use power.

No hash at kano.is no 0000000000 in the gui but the power meter shows one board dropped.
I would take the miner out of the loft at buysolars house  bring it back to my house and it would mine fine.
Bring it back to the loft and the missing board trick would occur .
I tied many fixes at the solar array

Booting no go
reset no go
lower freq no go
use two boards with lower freq no go gear shows 1 board running kano shows one board running meter reads 2 boards.
use one board with lower freq no go gear shows no boards running kano shows no board running meter reads 1 board


network set up was.

cable>>> router>>>> 32 port switch>>>> seven miners and other gear

new setup
                                                              >>> buysolar's other gear
cable >>>> router >>>>> 32 port switch >>> new 5 port router > new 8 port dsl router >>>> Six  miners one open port to attach laptop
                                                                                                 > new 8 port dsl router >>>> one miner room for more and the laptop

and this lets all miners run with all boards so far no dropouts. I have to think this is a problem that I solved but i will keep checking to see  if it stays solved.                                                            

It's been a fun adventure so far I started off with a monoprice 3d printer ( https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Select-Printer-Heated-Filament/dp/B01FL49VZE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1472173723&sr=8-2&keywords=monoprice+3d).   It has amazing review's for the money on it.... but I got unlucky and guess mine was not checked for quality.   Fan fell off during printing which is bad... then the filament feeder broke a few day's later luckily amazon has great return policy.

The little one got the bug in me that enjoyed it enough after returning that monoprice one I upgraded to a Lulzbot 3d printer after much research.  Have been just starting off with PLA/ABS plastics to get my skills up.   Once I know what I am doing it is not even just plastic limit with this 3d printer everything from stainless steel, magnetic iron, copper, tons of plastics, to even wood - https://www.lulzbot.com/store/filament .  

Been a fun week to say the least learning.   Messing around in a loft during summer is not a whole lot of fun to say the least.   Been a while since I have went into my barn's loft.   Hope all is well with your solar array, still a very sweet setup from pictures you have shown.

custom printed fan adapter/mounts/vents, cable guides, panels..

man only size, imaginations and supply of plastic is the limit for 3d printing.

its on my wish list

It doesn't look to me like the R4 is going to have a measurable network wide effect like the S9 did.  But it will be interesting to see how the new cooling design works out, I'm sure we would all welcome quieter miners (although Bitmain won't see any money from me directly).

3d printing sounds pretty cool.  better then spending more then 4 hours in a hot loft fixing the solar array miners.

Bitwisdom is not horrible:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    217,375,482,757
Estimated Next Difficulty:    226,353,508,895 (+4.13%)
Adjust time:    After 557 Blocks, About 3.7 days
Hashrate(?):    1,583,483,457 GH/s

I'm not sure what to expect coming in future with R4: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitmain-antminer-r4-1596886 .  Pretty drastic change in miner design will be inserting to see how it does, it should give 120 people something to be happy about.  So unsure how much this will effect difficulty if bitmain will use design internally or keep with bigger miner's.   Or they could have like a R4+ for internal looking at it there are 2 unused hashboard spot's ready to be plugged into and many without a connector.  But all guesses there.

Price I am decently happy with so far this period as no big drop's it seem's.  I have kinda slowed slowed down watching price and posting currently I have really gotten into 3D printing and it's taken up a ton of my free time.   

Either way it's probably too low.

It's looking like almost 9% now. Damn...

The electrician finally fix the fried circuit. The blow dryer and Avalon were fighting for awhile so it took one hot night in the basement. So yes I was out all summer too. Still use the compac from time to time. Sold the S5 intime but am stuck with (2) S3's
I'll fire up the avalon6 to see if it wasn't damaged and run it while at work. Saved $300 a month on electricity and still can run my 2 pool servers on the cheap.

They wanted to wait September, but the temptation was too strong, they not only replaced three 28 nm for one 16 nm miner, but they also plugged a few more 16 nm and some also got their 14 nm up and running!

 

Who are "they"?  Bitmain, Bitfury, BW, ...

Exciting!



(ref.: the huge one-day spikes in May and before)

Still 900 ph in s7 and  avalon 6 has to do something to keep hash rate down.

Maybe they are an anchor   and rates would be closer to a diff of 300 if it were not for them.

I just think it is funny how wrong all of the doomsayers were about the halving and the 1MB block size issue. I heard so many people conjecture that the hashrate would drop significantly and that we would have trouble solving blocks because of the difficulty.

Even though the peak hash has dropped off it's still currently sitting higher than it ever has in the past.  I honestly expected a bit of a slow down after the halving, but things just keep going up and up.

/HighFive !

fixed it!
