And I'm back. I'm sure I wasn't missed. Decided to take  the opportunity of the blip to do some movement of equipment. Am I the only one who absolutely hates to turn the rigs off for anything? Took me 2 1/2 hours but should be worth it in the long run. They are now officially in my wind tunnel.  Cheesy

Now let find a block!

I think BTC is about done with it's downward trend.  It hasn't touched it's low in over a week if I'm reading it right.  A 1/3 value adjustment after that landmark runup is healthy for the overall market.

Let's get some discussion started about immersion cooling.  I think that it may be a way to bring old equipment back into the fold, as well as bring operating costs down.  I picked up a cheep S4 as my entry into mining and realize, that once heating season is over, I'll likely need to turn it off unless I can cut some corners on power consumption.  I can run it half the year here, just as supplemental heat no matter how sad it's coin finding becomes.  I think nearly 225w of my unit's overall 1300 is fans.  With half a dozen empty aquariums in my basement, and a Sam's card where 20gal of vegetable oil will cheep... I can't help but wonder if oil cooling isn't the answer.

I plan on trying it out on some old equipment next month.  Just an old mobo and old NVidia card that can just barely mine ZEC with it's memory/cuda count.... a 550ti I think.  I will share my results.


Good luck, keep us in the loop at your cooling attempt.   $BTC will move back up here as the last futures contract expired on Friday I do believe.  We can see some upward momentum here.

Has anyone purchased from Parallelminer?
I need a S7 Hashboard and they have one so...
Is there a better place to purchase parts?
Thanks in advance!

I bought an S7 and a psu from them. No problems at all and always emailed me back.
Thanks!

I buy from them all of the time.  They are very reliable and will always email you if you have questions. 

Thanks!!

So - a warning in advance for once (recently) about a restart Smiley

I'll be restarting the main work generator back end, in about 9 hours at 23:30 UTC
Everyone will failover to their 3rd pool - yeah your 2nd pool SHOULD be another kano.is node - so you SHOULD failover to your 3rd Smiley

You'll fail back pretty quickly, though ckpool takes about 5 minutes to restart properly, so it can take up to 10 minutes to fail back properly.
This will affect everyone mining on every node.
(It's not an update, or anything, it just needs a restart soon)

Mine on Smiley
Reminder - in 2.5 hrs
Restart was 23:30:01.8 UTC Smiley

I would take 2 S9s for 1 A3 as well.

Well, I Did it,  Took the two S9's for that A3.  Have one pointed here already, and the second i have to use elsewhere to get past the .01 Threshold to get paid out on an off brand pool.  Should be done in about 1.5 days, then I will bring that one to Kano as well.  ( I know... i should point it here right away, but my poor GPU has been working there for EVER and it needs help to get to .01)
