Hey guys,
So I just had an electrician coming at home to quote for a 220v circuit installation
He asked me if my power supplies will require neutral, does anybody know more about this as I did a quick search and I'm still confused about it
Thanks

Okay, need some help from the Onda D1800 gurus here... I just threw together a setup with 2 GTX 1060s and I'm getting nothing but a blank screen on power up. The power LED comes on, the fans on the GPU spin briefly, then nothing. Holding the power button down for several seconds triggers a hard reboot so it seems like the CPU is working, it's just I can't the video to show up. I recall seeing a post about this exact same issue in this thread, but damned if I can find it... and I skimmed over every single one of the posts up until this one, too.
I do have a second Onda board to try, but my spidey-sense says this isn't a mobo problem...

As usual, Australia is late to the party. You can still buy 1070ti for $500USD here, I just picked up 5.
For .au pricing in these current conditions, that's good value.

How much u wanna charge to ship 10 of them my way lol
If I knew of such costs, I could estimate on the spot, but I have never shipped internationally before so can't say.
It's something I would consider though.

tell us how the burst works out i had 30tb in drives trying it out but gave up.
must be nice to be near maxed out , im only at 20 percent cap
Heck no it's not nice lol. Means I need another spot because my electric panel is only 200A which sucks balls lol.
Why did you give up on it? I haven't even tried plotting or setting up anything yet just dove in and ordered a bunch of drives. Probably getting myself into more than I can chew, but figure why not. Gives me something to do
Where are you buying new cards, guys?
I checked both newegg and microcenter.
At newegg, there are only crazy prices starting with $950-1000 for 1070 and there is literally nothing at Microcenter.

Hell, I checked 3 different Best Buys in the Tampa area yesterday and all I found was a single RX 560 (which I bought, though felt kind of stupid for doing so). Worse, though, is that there was an empty box for a GTX 1080 that said "Purchase at register" so I took the box to the register only to find out that, nope, they are out of stock.
Le sigh...
pretty much standing pat, im not paying $600 for an rx 580 or $900 for a1070ti
which is why im selling my exces 8 gpu motherboards
this is so anoying, i passed on buying cards back in dec thinking they were too pricy smh
lol i hear you marvel - i didn't pass up, i was just procrastinating and then when i finally came around to it wasn't able to get as many as i could.
I'm pretty much at max capacity now though, might be able to add a couple here and there but I'll just call it a day and say I'm maxed out.
I have about 300 TB in HDDs coming so I'll try burst out for shits n giggles.

Yeah, Im with you on that! When I got my 4 1070ti's a few weeks back, I could have gotten more (in the $480 range) but held off. Then when i noticed supply getting worse, i still could have gotten enough 570 8GB for close to retail to build a rig of those, but I didn't pull the trigger. Also, could have had a few good Mobos and more PSUs for much cheaper than they are now. at least i got a 1KW EVGA G2 for $100 and a Rosewill 1500w Plat for $280, but yeah it is very frustrating to realize that you could have bought these things even 2-3 weeks ago and now they're gone or way to expensive.
But Im also down with NOT paying the 2-4x markups just to complete rigs. It's better to just build a partial rig and then complete it with more GPUs later when availability gets better. That's what I am going to... at least with my 1070ti's. Im now on the fence about my 3 Vega's. I could probably sell them for close to or over $1k each in this market...and not sure i really wanna deal with the issues that come with them... so might be better to just bank that $3k and invest elsewhere, but not sure yet.
Selling used Vega for $1k, is a no brainer You could buy three overpriced RX 570 4GB at $300-$320 each with the better overall performance and still have cash left over. Navi coming out in August too.

Mostly I'm not due to crazy pricing - but Newegg DOES sneak in a card restock occasionally.
Just got an ASUS Turbo 1070 ti ordered today - actually saw the notification in time for a change. 8-)
I'm sure they'll be out before I can order another one (limit 1 on them).
Yeah... i didn't get so lucky... got a notification on a Vega 56 from newegg earlier and logged on 30 seconds later and it was already sold out. aside from those low odds crap-shoots, there is literally nothing available anywhere for at least 1 week now. Not only that but mining Mobos and any PSU 1KW and over are either not available or 2-4x original pricing. Lets just say that if you don't have 80%+ of your components already, you will have to pay through the roof to complete it. I keep thinking that more stock will ease this up but it doenst appear to be the case yet.
Hi guys.
I want your opinion in nicehash now since they got hacked/whatever. I feel its really profitable when you can move funds freely to coinbase and then to GDAX with free withdraw. Seems like its one of the better options right now, or am i missing something?

Apart from high withdrawal fees (if not transferring to Coinbase).... its an easy and quick to sell hash power to buyers.
Which pool, which coin ... its quite tiring this chasing game... so if you want an easy way to accumulate BTC, yeah NH is a good place to be.
Yeah I'm at a point where I just throw everything at nicehash. I get slogged the full 5% fee which is annoying, but I will acquire more hash-rate to be able to mine 0.1 BTC within 4 days so that the fee is reduced to 3%.
From what I can tell, you pay 2% to nicehash wallet and to get it out of there you pay the network fee of 0.001 BTC - which probably totals 3% anyway.
I didn't know that it was free to coinbase - I will have to look into it.
Cryptonight in particular has been paying wayyy higher than ordinary XMR rates for a few weeks now. Equihash is quite strong as well.
Have you tried using Mining Pool Hub with "Autoswitch" (to automatically convert a mined coin to another... such as BTC)? I haven't been able to do a scientific comparison, but comparing 8 days on NH to 8 days on MHP I've found MHP has a higher return and lower fees. So I'm interested in your point of view.
The correct method to test is 2 identical rigs point one to each pool. do this at the same time.
run from Say feb 1 to feb 14.
switch the rigs to the other pools then run from feb 15 to feb 28.
much better test method. but it still fails if one pool was getting dos attacks and the other was not during the testing
To me both are good. pools/services to mine in order for me to really judge them I also need to take into account the ease that I can mine to multiple btc addresses.
I mine to trezor addresses for some partners and it is very safe method with easy accounting to do it with nicehash it is a little hard to do it with mph

I haven't looked at MPH. 50% of my rigs are on nvOC and I'm not sure if they can point to MPH. If there is a linux OS with MPH support, I would definitely try it.
If you're not trying to do algo switching, you can use any miner and either mine specific coins or mine specific algos. I choose the latter and use Ubuntu/SMOS. If you try it out and use the auto-switch capability, you just have to be prepared to give it at least a few days. It take times to prime the pump and get things flowing. I would recommend NOT auto-switching to BTC since the transaction fees are so high.
Out of interest, has any of you tried a riserless board with non-blower-style GPUs? Surely they're too close to eachother to work efficiently, i.e. heat cross-contamination must be terrible?...
Almost all of my 3-card FAH rigs were standard fan-type cooling.That's WHY I first started buying the Gigabyte "ITX" cards - to allow the middle card to stay at least semi-cool.
Card temps WILL be quite a bit higher due to restricted airflow - even Blower cards have that issue as the airflow INTO the blower is restricted by card proximity, they just don't recirc the hot air inside a case nearly as much.
Blower cards on an open air case don't do any better than fan-type cards.
This is precisely what I was thinking of doing after dragonmike brought up the cooling issue - alternating a couple of "mini" cards with the longer dual fan ones. Should be better cooling all around, though my understanding is that the mini cards tend to have cooling issues in the first place.

#TechTip - If you mine for #Bitcoin, #Ethereum or any other crypto-coin make sure you setup your miner software to restart automatically as a service. Failure to do so means Microsoft Windows Update will reboot you in the middle of the night and steal all your digital gold! #Fact
Well now you know...

By the way, his "beast miner" is basically two GPUs.
He'll get there. Good ol' Jerry!
Wasn't he a semi-large Folding producer for a while?
