Back to ZEC for a moment... can someone explain the reward increase thing to me?  I thought I had read early on that the first month or so of ZEC mining would be "slow" and then at a certain point (block 20,000 i thought), it would be 3 or 4x what it is now.  But alas, now what little info on this I can find, I can't seem to comprehend how it will impact those of us who are mining ZEC.

Block reward was ramping from a fraction of  ZEC per block to 12.5 ZEC per block over the first 38 days (or so). To us, we get more ZEC per round all things being equal (hash rate, etc.). This increases the available supply to sell. Unless demand goes up, ZEC price will fall.

@ xleejohnx you are welcome.

I just took apart the solar array  zec rig.
I pulled the ram the cpu the cpu cooler.  keeps blue screening.

I built a new booster four card rig. I used all visiontek rx 460 cards.
This is a two wire rig! That is correct it uses the 8 pin cpu wire and the 24 pin mobo wire nothing else for power.

I want to make the most compact rig with the least amount of wires for power.

Can not be less then the mobo and the cpu wire.

It does 295H at 210 watts.

To further the build to the smallest size I ordered this psu.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CGGOXWQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


so this should be the smallest cleanest 4 card build possible.

and since the psu has a pcie cable I could pull 1 rx 460  and add 1 rx470 or rx480 to boast hash to about 400h

I found the ZEC mining stress the GPU more than the ETH. So I have to reduce the core frequency for my R9 390. Anybody else notices that?

 I've seen exactly the opposite on my R9 280x and HD 7870s - less power draw, and somewhat more stable, while making quite a bit more than on ETH.

 Not inclined to mess with trying to switch the triple R9 290 box though since it's LINUX and I've been getting reminded a LOT lately of WHY I hate trying to run a mining machine on Windoze.

What pdu do y'all recommend for a 220-240?
Never bought one before so I'm new to it

Any PSU will do 120v or 240v. I've used Corsair, Thermaltake, and Rosewill all Gold rated and have had good luck. Just make sure you keep the load below 85℅ and keep the temp low

I was thinking something along the lines of

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050JSCPQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_doiqybG61W8FJ

never never buy new pdu ..

1 exception you are using some one elses money and you don't like the person Grin Grin

I will find some links from good eBay sellers.

Haha oh I was not going to buy new!!
I was just using that as an example

that is over kill  but tell me what amount of power will you need.

a 30 amp pdu  will safely do 24 amps at 240 = about 6000 watts

plug 2 of these into

note this item need to plug into a dedicated 30 amp 240 volt socket

That's exactly what I wanted!!
I have a decdicated 240-30amp outlet
Thank you once again Phil

follow up on plug.  Inlet: NEMA L6-30P Twist-Lock Male Plug   this is on the more expensive  base unit.

 so your wall socket needs to be 30 amp  10 gauge wire


http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-Wall-Receptacle-30-Amp-250-Volt-Twist-Lock-3-Prong-Nema-L6-30R-/121131889284?



If you use the wall socket the pdu and the extension cords   you can do around 12 500 watt setups.

or 10 600 watt setups


At herbpean so far my asrock  h81 is doing 4 cards okay.

the asrock extreme3 z170  at the solar array is now at my house as it is crashing with a bluescreen

Simple cheap item

can do 12 amps so say 10 for safety

that is about 10 x 240 = 2400 watts

you need to build a power cable to it

been catching up on ETH thread....

seems the hard fork and other issues with Mist and Parity are now cleared and settled and heavy chatter on going to POS.....

looks like ETH mining days are numbered, and will remain mining ZEC since it is also settling to its market price (I hope).

My only consolation is I bought some ETH recently at 7.99 and looks like I am going to ride it hard and take advantage of the incoming hype (.... or tanking of ETH).

Do you think POS would bring ETH price up ?

I think it will IMHO.

But I wonder which current POS coin is successful today... having said that, Ethereum and contracts management has a very good business outlook and use cases.... maybe it will become the first valuable POS coin. Time will tell....

I changed title.

I need to go to array as that particular  zec miner has crashed.
I am going to tear that build down and replace the asrock board with a biostar board.
I may set up  a second miner there a four card biostar.

Right now I am running 24 cards in my house.

the crash 4 card build at the solar array.

and I have 5 gpus new in box along with 3 biostar boards.

I will be busy for a bit of time doing new setups.

I hope to be back to 28 cards by tonight.

I hope to be at 32 cards by tomorrow.

Goal will be 36 cards for the winter.

Also having issue with ASrock H81 pro we bought on amazon ?

What kind of problems do you have with H81 pro ?
