Heh those block fees must be getting low - pool payout for 505456 confirmed early again (about 15mins ago) Smiley


I'm surprised it took this long for someone to pick it up Cheesy

Yes, just noticed it was confirmed in my core wallet.
Nice to get a payout a little ahead of schedule.

MINE ON!

I have 3, one of them had the issue of intake fan higher than exhaust. I noticed that where the fan power supply plugs into the board was switch on the one. Powered down, swapped the supply plugs and fixed the issue. Also the many different fan brands have different power ratings so different speeds as well.

Thanks for the info. I will check that, could be a quick fix!

That is exactly what I found. The wiring was switched opposite of the other units. I did not have time to shut it dow nand switch it tonight but probably can tomorrow. Will post if it makes a difference on temps.

So 1100 kWh X .08 = $88.00? os your hosting fee?  a month?

Officially it is $65 per kW per month (measured kW and not estimated).  With 9 S7s, 2 A721s, and 11 S9s it works out to $0.32/TH/day or $0.079/kWh.

Edit:  If I can get all of those S7s replaced with S9s or some of the newer A8s, my hash rate would go way up with little to no increase in hosting fees.  That's the goal but damn it's become nearly impossible to get new equipment from anywhere!

Edit2:  As you work your way through the numbers, all of my S9s range from 1290W-1520W and my S7s range from 1210W-1470W.  Both of my A7s are 1000W each.  There is a lot of range in the power usage of this equipment and there is no perfect answer but after 3 years of paying this host, I know how much it costs.

edit: however, it only protects from spikes outside the house, it does not protect against surges that happen inside the house.
No.  It protects from all types of surges.  Even those rumored to be generated inside - for a long list of reasons.

Start with the most obvious reason.  How many appliances have been replaced today?  What damaged less robust appliances?  What protected GFCIs, dishwasher, clocks, furnace, recharging electronics, refrigerator, modem, LED & CFL bulbs, AC powered telephones (ie FIOS), garage door opener, TVs, and the most critical items if a surge existed - smoke detectors?   All those are suffering damage if internally generated surges exist.  Why not replaced daily?  Because internally generated surges are myths - intentional lies - generated to sell protectors that (otherwise) do not claim effective protection (such as APC).

If internally generated surges can damage those other appliances, then near zero joules in an APC are first to fail.

No protector does protection.  Not one.  That 'whole house' protector is effective because it makes a low impedance (ie less than 10 foot) connection to single point earth ground.  Then all types of surges - even a destructive hundreds of thousands of joule surges - are harmlessly absorbed outside.

For some reason, too many want to believe a protector must be between a surge source and its victim.  That implies a lack of basic electrical knowledge.  A surge does damage because it is hunting destructively for earth.  If any path to earth is not destructive, then all adjacent devices are not damaged.  What is a lowest impedance path?  That connection to earth (either by a hardwire with no protector, or by a properly installled protector) defines protection.

Earth a 'whole house' protector to do (more numbers - this time from the IEEE) 99.5% to 99.9% of the protection.  But, always, and again, a protector is only as effective as its earth ground (which obviously is not a wall receptacle safety ground).

Finally, the replacement miner for poor, departed R4B4 has arrived in the ice mines at Hoth.  Took so long after multiple delays I hate to even think about it, but at least I've increased my hashrate by 50% so that's a plus.  Wink
Mine on!  Cool

There's always a silver lining! Good job! Cheesy

I have 3 S7s that are in varying stages of swan songs that I'm trying to replace.  My hosting site is full so I can only replace; can't add new until they have expanded their capacity.  One of these S7s will be replaced in early February and I can't wait.  I can't seem to buy anything anymore so I don't know if I'll ever be able to replace the other 2.

What are they charging these days for hosting a S9?  and does that include the cost of power?

I have a location that I can use for hosting, but with a max of 200 amp 240 Volt service.  I might be able to get higher service, then it starts to get into commercial rates for electricity.  Looks to work out to 22 S9's can be run there.  I would be able to have a fibre connection to the location as well.  150 Mbit symetrical.

My total host fee works out the same as $0.08 electricity.  It was costing me $0.10 at my house and the noise and heat was brutal.

So 1100 kWh X .08 = $88.00? is your hosting fee?  a month?

You guys can always PM Kano.  He can unlock your account for you if he's awake.  What's with the rash of account lockouts lately?
Due to the fact that on occasion, recently, people have pointed a sizeable collection of computers at the web server trying to login hundreds of times a minute, and done that for a number of days, I changed a setting to ban you faster if you make a mistake repeatedly.
Thus it picks up normal users making mistakes, a little more often than before, but also picks up these annoyances with their baby-botnets very quickly.

That would account for the higher rate of lockouts! I'd better be careful logging in! Cheesy

My first login attempt will always fail, no matter how slow and careful I type my password. The second attempt will always login. I've tried this numerous times with the same results and just live with it.

This only happens on mobile, btw. First attempt works every time from PC.  Cheesy


IPhone?   Yeah, they like capitalizing the first character even when you  implicitly say not to...  I had that issue before and it drove me up the wall.

My hosting facility finally completed their expansion and got my new miners up and running. Raised my hashrate from 165TH/s to up to 270TH/s.  Grin Grin Grin

Hopefully they can find room for the other 4 I have on order, or I'll have to replace my E9's and move em back into the garage.
Haven't really looked at hosting facilities until now being that I am pretty much out of power. Besides the obvious pros to having them at the facility, how much or less is this costing you than expanding at your current house or mining location?
Hosting is really the only way to go, if you can find the right place with room. I'm a little north of Seattle and our power is about .10/kwh, commercial is a little cheaper at .09/kwh. My hosting runs at about .08/kwh, so it saves me a little. Also I don't have to deal with noise and cooling either. I've got a little over 20 miners hosted and keep a few here at the house. A couple r4's to warm the office and den. And s9 in the garage until they come up with more space at the hosting place.

I could run more at home, if I got an electrician to come out and put in a few more breakers and some outlets out in the garage. Don't really want that much noise though plus the cooling come summer.


Amen to that, peace of mind not having to hear the miners.  Go check up on them once a quarter or so, otherwise, LET 'EM MINE!!!

MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN!

When will the s9s be unprofitabily?

They have been prophesying they will be unprofitable for the last two years. Too many factors go into the equation for an accurate answer. Power costs and bitcoin price being two of the largest factors.

it all depends on your electric cost and where the price of BTC is at.
