if I may pick the brains of this group....

I am building a custom dashboard using Google Sheets

I am using a few nice add-ons for cryptocurrencies etc. for basic info like current BTC price etc.

I need to pull the latest Average Daily Earnings from the viabtc.com website

(BTC Avg. Daily Earnings 0.00002764 BTC/T (≈PPS 99.1%)

Any ideas where can I pull that info from?

I searched viabtc website API help section but it was not helpful.

Posted on their wechat group which is chinese heavy.... but no reply.

Any ideas?

Have you accessed the actual API? Seems like you need an account to get access to it. Once there you should have a number of requests you can make to pull data.


Yes, I have a working account in viabtc and further research on viabtc APIs are generally for trading/exchange related APIs but not pool and operational parameters. Last resort, maybe screen scrapping will do the trick

Yep, if the API doesn't provide you with what your require, it's going to be a tough one to crack. I'm not sure that many pool offer a lot of information on the inner workings.

If you have simple access to the page that the information is displayed on, you could indeed try scraping. Just be careful with that, as usually websites that are not too shitty, will see this as a bad thing and might potentially ban your IP address.

I personally have no experience with google sheet dashboards, but with some PHP, once you have the URL and know where, in the html code, the information is displayed, it's quite simple to dig down to the element and extract the value.

This is how I do it on my solar inverted which has no API, just some dumb webpages with the information displayed in html tables.

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?
Power is up.  Have to say the two small generators I had were very good at keeping house working.

look into a transfer switch and genset that can run most o your house.

[...]

Yeah but on the cheap  I got these 2500 watt models for 199 each


http://pulsar-products.com/products/pg3250/?


I have really reliable power. Last blackout was Hurricane Sandy back in 2012.
Maybe 3 short ones well under an hour from Oct 2012 to July 2019.

I got these 2 in 2013 they were left over from a big stockup for Sandy and I grabbed them.

nice price for those thats for sure.

i am looking to get a smaller, pure sine wave, fairly quiet and fairly lightweight generator with something like 1800-2000 watts or so. the kind quiet enough for camping and such. be nice for shorter power outages where i just need coffee and electronics for a few hours.

Now mining has fallen to zero. It is good that someone is electricity free. And so already and asic with such a course is not cost-effective.

'The right to privacy matters'
830TH, that's pretty neat! Are you able to turn a good profit then?

Man I remember the good times in 2016/2017, mining ETH at the time. Getting an ETH a day or more was easy peasy. Ethermine was showing me like 4000$ a months with just a few rigs. Life was good Smiley

Well partners on this but once I paid off all the gear. (this August)  I clear 2000  a month.

No where as good as Nov Dec Jan 2017-2018

Diff was 1.4 it is now 9.05

So while I make 2000 a month now if it were 2017 dec this gear would make  9.05/1.4 = 6.46 x the coin   and coin was 20000 vs 10000

my 7,000 watt transfer switch with an 8,500 watt genset can power everything but the electric stove (we use an electric hotplate) and electric dryer (go without it).

but the well, hvac, fridge hotwater, lights, electronics (no miners though) all most important COFFEE MACHINE.

just one cable from (keystart) genset to house and flip the xfer switch. did it so the wife could do it if im not here.

Hey Philipma1957, how's the mining life treating you?

Been staying away from BTCT for a while, still mining on solar power only over here for the past 9 months now. Guess I made about 1500$ or so mining in that time, 100% profit.

I recall you were also trying to go that route if not mistaken?

Cheers

power outage only partial internet.

Hi bro. Are you philipma from Bitcointalk. My friend told me about you that you offer escrow. This is true?

Yes it is me. My town had a bad storm 18000 of 36000 homes have no power. I have limited internet for 2 or 3 days.Oh 😢 can you still offer escrow though
How can I confirm also it's you sorry
What is your name on bitcointalk  I will send a pm to you  from my philipma1957 account.

to the OP;  Phil is one of the most trusted people I have dealt with on BCT.   You found the right man!


Hopefully things clean up for you phil!   being without power and internet can be a real pain;  especially in our lines of work!

No idea if any of you guys still have your R9 290 GPUs, but turns out you can still use them to mine ETH.

About a year ago I turned mine off because as the DAG grew the hashrate kept slowing down, and the power usage mostly stayed the same.

However now I learnt that its not the same bug that affected the R9 280X GPUs, its something with the Windows drivers and/or Claymore. So on Linux you can use another ETH miner like PhoenixMiner and get the regular 30MH/s rate back. Sure they are powerhogs but Winter will come in a few months and we can put some of them to use again; I almost sold mine on eBay and glad I kept them.

I have "retired" R9-390-8GBs, all 25 of them boxed up, never sold them and still in store room.

These old faithfuls have been ROIed several times during the ETH days circa 2015-2016.

I am tempted to revive these guys and do some testing like adaseb mentioned above.

Any low power mining worthwhile doing before I risk getting a sore back pulling those boxes out from the store room?


Basically there is a thread going on for this GPU at
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/what-to-mine-with-amd-r9-290-4gb-2586323

You can mine GRIN and get like 2.5-2.7GPS, and the poster claims it uses less power than ETH but not sure how much. I have mine still boxed up like you and didn't power it up yet myself so didn't test.

Most likely will wait until the Winter before I plug these bad boys in, I highly doubt they will come close to efficency as an RX 470 however.

There is a miner called nbminer-nebutech that seems to be quite popular too. Maybe this miner can do NH.

Its cool I am happy with f2pool

With 1080ti you should mine Grin31. I'm mining on Nicehash and it seems more profitable than Grin29.

Yes, maybe 10% more if you don't count higher wattage (which is also about 10%).
Fans are much more active on cuckatoo31, and I have cards in the house.
Not a biggie. I tried, then went back to 29d just for more comfort.

I am getting old simply can't remember shit.

So I had an old bminer 14.0  and fork killed it off.

I loaded bminer 15.7.2  and I get rejected shares.

I am remote to these rigs.  So 15.7.2 does not work.

If you ever want to go back to bminer 15.7.2, I got the same (rejected shares), but the solution is simple:
make sure that you specified cuckaroo29d instead of cuckaroo29 (note extra "d") in your bminer string.
After that it worked fine (no rejected shares).

thank you  I will try it later today and get back to this thread.



At BogdanCo  I may also give that a go. Later tonight.
