'The right to privacy matters'
New toy  came to me yesterday.


48 ports  refurbished  and really nice price.

http://shop.us.dlink.com/shop/shop-oulet/certified-refurbished/d-link-48-port-fast-ethernet-smart-managed-switch-des-1210-52.html


I now have lots of expansion on tap.

I had a 16 port now i have a 48 port.

I bought that WiFi extender: http://a.co/5Sln4gs
And WiFi dongles for 2 of my rigs: http://a.co/2TMibYp

Have a super straight signal everywhere and no mess with cables
 

you are lucky,  but I am 15-20 miles from a major military airbase.  They wreak havoc with wi-fi  at least 5 times a week and sometimes 5 times a day they fly overhead with this plane  or a variation of it. When they do this   wi-fi dies for 1 -5 minutes




worse was blimp testing  they stopped those tests  but when they did them from 2005-2009  cell phones and wi-fi were pretty much dead  for a day at a time.

Who knows, maybe one of the ALTs will increase on 20% +?

I am pretty sure they will be the same fit.

right now the evga is cheaper by quite a bit   and it may be a better built board

In Taiwan, EVGA and Biostar are no pushovers - both are reputable brands next to the big boys MSI, Asus etc

specs wise - looks better, I will test a unit or two.

but i will miss the on-board touch sensor for off/reset/turbo etc. on the Biostar

BTW, I moved all my rigs to selling hash at Nicehash Equihash/ZCASH and Cryptonite/XMR market to fully leverage the nice rise of BTC now at 809$. Poloniex and Shapeshift is taking too much from me over time - rather cut off all of that and go to Nicehash and get paid directly in BTC. It may work out to be the same but at least I get BTC upfront.

You're losing a considerable chunk of profit using nicehash. Mine directly to the exchange as exchanges pay network fees.


Well nicehash has the option to provide miners directly bitcoins instead of altcoin being mined, and with the current bitcoin price hike, who knows what'd be the value of bitcoin the next day.

Till this hike remains, I guess it isn't a bad idea to move to nicehash, specially if you lack time to exchange the altcoins on exchanges.

with USD$835 = 1 BTC this morning, the game plan needs IMHO refocus on BTC collection.

Rule 1: Dont fall in love with altcoins  Grin

Clearance in which direction(s) are you concerned about?

I think space between PCI slots - to have a better gap between cards

That's why I asked to make sure...  I assumed that the spacing of the edge connectors was a standard for an ATX board, so any board will fit in any case.

 The spaces between the slots is ATX standarised to a tight tolerance.
 Some boards will leave out some of the slots, but the ones that are there are still on the same spacings relative to the screw holes and position from the board edges.

 Board widths are also standardised within a few varients - ATX, miniATX, microITX, extendedATX probably being the most common varients.

 The depth of the boards CAN vary a fair bit, the ATX standard was somewhat loose on that part of the spec, and that CAN in rare cases cause board fit issues on some small cases and deeper boards.

Of course....

I want to leave town today, and one of my miners starts to act up.  This is the 5-card machine I rebuilt this last weekend. The machine rebooted and now when start.bat gets executed, I get a popup that says "EthDrcMiner64.exe has stopped working... " immediately when it starts (after the environmental variables are set).  I've tried both ETH mining and ZEC mining.

Any suggestions?  It has 5 cards, I may go pull one and see if that changes anything.  *edit: this did not change anything.... *

Okay try new amd 16.11.3  after you uninstall current amd.

do 1 card


delete zec  claymore 7 8 9 9.1 9.2  but save your bat on the desktop.

install clay 9.2 drag your bat in and see if 1 card works

if so add second card.

yeah it sucks but risers  go bad easy  and anyone riser could be the issue.

 or a corrupt amd file

or a bad claymore (rare) file

or a bad windows install

or the   rarest of all a bad linux install


delete of amd 16.11.3  and reinstall 1 card at a time is around an hour.


oh fedex has rescheduled my mobo for thurs.

'The right to privacy matters'
I have started to streamline the GPU farm into Biostar Z170 4-PCI riserless format





I ordered the evga

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188178

135+10 tax = 145 - 20 rebate = 125

 It comes today.  

I have 5 biostar  the best I ever did was  119 + 9 tax = 128 - 20 rebate = 108

For 17 bucks extra I will test it.

There is a small rx 480  it comes inside here

Hi Phil - have you got the EVGA mobo yet - pls do review the spacing - seems that this mobo has better clearance compared to the Biostar. Thanks

Time is shown as today but last info was at 438 am  my guess is it will be delayed until thursday.

at the moment I have a wandering us post office shipment that should be delivered to Conectitcut  last it was in Pennslvania plus this mobo should be at my house and it is ? .  Holiday suck for shipping.

Mine for a Bit
Little bit of offtop:

Bitmain just started to sell new batches on their R4 miners for home usage.

Thinking about buying 9.7TH/s version

I know that Phil has an experience to use one

I just switched back to ETH from ZEC.  Profitability just changed.
