I'm soooo ready for Block Friday to start.  We have got to get past these long blocks...they are so annoying!  We are on the 4th in the past 3 days...

Tell me about it! I don't like to complain about these 100%+ blocks, I know it's expected. BUT the work week really drags a lot less when those notifications are pinging!

Ok.  So best links for mining and gaming OS on ssd please.  I have a few systems to finish building to buy miners with, gotta get it done before they devalue.  I just got pissed at Windows 10 nag screens and forced updates then quit.  I like dual boot systems for me and something the masses can use for the ones to sell for miners so some options would be nice.
Hope this isn't too far off-topic. I switched to the Ubuntu flavor of Linux and have been quite pleased. It will do everything (and some further things) that Win will do, but a heckuva lot faster and without the unnecessary crap.

I keep a second boot drive in the workstation with Win10, but only use it when I have to.

I know many folks who use Linux for gaming, and are also pleased. Just Google Linux Ubuntu and you'll find a link to download the code. It fits on a USB drive, and that's what you install it from.

Sadly you will NOT be playing most current and new games on Linux and Non Windows OS-es are plagued with driver issues.

All my gaming rigs and miners are running on Win7/Win8.1 with zero issues, be it for myself or customers.
Just have to set it up 'right' and use good quality parts, not buy the cheapest PoS junk on sale.

Although Windows 10 is a great operating system, IMO the best thing Microsoft has produced since MsDos6-

Reading this hurts my soul. Windows 10 is garbage, almost as bad as this Windows 8 POS I am running at work :/
Well, the biggest issue IMO with all of windows since 7 is:

Some of the beta-testers of 10 were up in arms about the fact that the beta version tracked everything you do ... literally.
However, that is also in the full version, it wasn't just for beta testing.

Apparently those changes have been back ported to 7 and 8 via windows update also.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2978239/windows/microsoft-slips-user-tracking-tools-into-windows-7-8-amidst-windows-10-privacy-storm.html

... and of course just google: "windows 10 tracks what you do"

Indeed, it does track everything you do unless you turn off those flags in the settings...and even then you can't be sure you're secure because of the push updates that are completely redacted as to what's actually happening...and what isn't redacted is named so obscurely that you don't know what it does without spending an inordinate amount of time and energy. MS is out to control the world, folks. It is indeed "better" than 8, but only because it looks and behaves more like 7. The important thing, I think, is that I would no longer keep my mining code/data/wallet on it. Of course, MS also (via Win10) tries to lock you into their "cloud" thing from the start. It's a bitch trying to avoid it.

I was one of those beta folks, btw. MS' reactions to my critiques were what finally moved me to switch to Ubuntu. Never looked back.

Nope...wouldn't mine on Win10...or any of the versions now that they're sneaking this stuff into all of them.

if you have an old  windows 7  disk and do a fresh install with then never update it  you can avoid tracking.

 for me windows if for mining.  also some printing.

I need to learn more about linux as I run 1 unit with it very well.

For commercial os I like mac 10.8  but apple has been f'ing it up.

Shame as apple and bitcoin core  work well together .

yeah windows 8 is worse.

i do like 7 and I am running all my gpu rigs on 7.

But this is so far off topic.

Now below affects all of us mining here.

I have some good news from Avalon.
I plan to show them good support as they have supported kano and us well.

here is the email I got today:

Hi there,

This is Canaan Creative from Beijing, working hard on the
upcoming 16nm SHA-256 mining chips for everybody!

If you are using Twitter: Canaan has started a Twitter feed
where we will post announcements regarding our upcoming
16nm chips over the next months.

Freaking awesome.  Thanks for posting this Phillip:)

It's incredible that bitcoin mining has in almost three years of mining has moved to 16 nm process, it took Intel decades to reach 14nm Shocked
We didn't spank Moores law yet.  Started in 2009, unless your counting from asic introduction.  Also 16nm to 14nm was a big gap.  Also we are not inventing the chips, thats been done.  Just reinventing them. 

I haven't had time to read the Windows 10 posts, but if Windows 10 were a person I would be in Jail for murder.  Not like I would just shoot windows 10.  I would spend years making  windows 10 writhe in agony, killing it slowly.  I would make windows 10 beg me to kill it.  It would die from the slowest painful torture imaginable.  I would make windows 10 feel what I feel when I use it...

WILDLY OFF TOPIC BUT:

I found windows 10 Blocked the download of the Nicehash bot -

And Windows 10 has become more and more intrusive  ,, changing defaults with every update  GRRR  -- Although Windows 10 is a great operating system, IMO the best thing Microsoft has produced since MsDos6-- I hate that every update changes my settings

I only got stuck with windows with my current machine because when I started building it a couple of years ago Linux had very sketchy support for the raid card I had bought -- and I couldn't get them to play nice - and windows just worked with them with no tinkering necessary..           Now a couple of years and upgrades later I'm still stuck with it and the only thing that's keeping me from changing to linux is the fear of losing 20tb+ of media on my Raid Array  Sad  --  Saving cash to build a DECENT dedicated NAS, and then I'll switch back to Linux once I've migrated my Media Over  -- 

windows 10 is really intrusive.

I hate it with with a passion.

you can't control updates

 you can't relax the firewall

I have
 windows 7
  linux and
mac in house  .
