Wow, 95 confirms in 11 hours. Tomorrow's difficulty change is going to suck.

?

I still dont understand this. Would you care to explain or point where to find an explanation?

Thnx.

BTC is designed to find a block every 10 minutes and it uses the difficulty to control this. When he says "95 confirms in 11 hours" that would be 95 blocks in 660 minutes or 1 block every 6.9 minutes. That too fast for bitcoin so the difficulty should go up to adjust this time back up to 10 minutes. Actually, 11 hours is way too small of a sample but that is the general idea.

The bitcoin network readjusts difficulty every 2016 blocks or approximately every 2 weeks.

Well you would expect 6 blocks per hour, or only 66 in 11 hours, so I believe that is the point there...

Not everyone is a techie.

And that is the main problem. Folks are dealing with advanced high-power technical devices and if they are going to experiment then at least when it comes to supplying power and cooling for them they damn well better research the basic principals & guidelines behind what they are thinking of doing.

There are scads of sites dealing with wiring your home and giving tutorials on HVAC. Those are the first places I would check for info. Someone just saying 'it works' or 'doesn't work' does nothing to help a person understand the why behind the answers.

Getting back on-topic, I seem to be cursed to hover around 300THs... Was up to >309 then had 2x T9's go titsup in the main farm at work. Early last week I replaced them with 2x A841's. Now the internet at my GF's house is out again so her 2 A821's are offline until the 10th which is the soonest AT&T will be out to fix it putting me back to around 288-290THs Sad

give them some credit; they dont know and the idea is logic. Not everyone is a techie.

The *sigh* is because at least 3-4x a month here and in other threads someone comes up with the same 'idea' of using a cooler. Would they ever think of using a cooler as a room air conditioner by leaving its door(s) open? Unlikely. Why? Because of their low BTU ratings it loses its cool rather fast before cooling off the room and yet the same thought never enters their minds when it comes to cooling miners...

I'll give an 'A' for them considering the idea but folks need to think things through a lot more... Wink

Why not leave the cooling in it? I live in Phoenix and I'm looking for something like a big Floral/Beer cooler to mount mining rigs in. Wintertime just shut it off.

Sigh...
For the umpteenth time: Folks, coolers for food/flowers/beer, whatnot are NOT designed to remove significant amounts of heat continuously! They can only move a little bit more heat than what leaks in through the insulation and whatever heat comes in with the food.

For reference, 1kw of power = 3415.179BTU/HR of heat to be moved. That is the numbers you need to look at for air-conditioning loads.

sigh...

why so grumpy if someone asks a question...
You were born ignorant also... Hope your parents didn't sigh with every question you asked.... Grin

Cooling unit provided with the fridge is way not sufficient to cool the miners... Cheesy

Really need some serious cooling power.
I have aperfect unit, but it doesnt fit in the fridge. I will connect it with sonodeck hose for the real hot days. All other days i want to cool just with air; its a lot cheaper.

Firesale continues @ bitmain. Just received an email that they lowered the price to 750 with the PSU. I'm not sure if you can use coupons at this price.

I suppose it depends on how much you're paying for electricity to get the BTC. If you're paying more fiat, than what you're getting back in BTC, it would be cheaper to buy the BTC outright. If you're gaining BTC and not exchanging to pay for the electric bill, hold your BTC until the price goes up. At that point it's up to the individual, at what price range they want to sell. Everyone has a different situation, as we all pay different prices for electricity, and some people are on a long term plan. (Years not Months)

Thanks for the clarity. Probably my wish was that the long term plan is not that longggggg. When will BTC price increase?

I'M ON 220 VOLT POWER NOW, BABY!!!

To be continued...

So, at long last I completed a rite of passage in the journey of BTC mining...

I used the following box to split a 220v 30a dryer cord (NEMA 10-30P) into four (4) separate 14awg cables (14/2 UF-B Romex):

Some benefits so far are 1) half the noise overall from my mining rig (Avalon6 + 1200w HP PSU) and 2) more consistent hashrates. We'll see when Summer temps come back after all this rain we've been having recently.
