So Vosk, you have switched from zhash.pro to luckpool as your preferred zen pool?

and @ citronick

my rigs on zec

2x 1080 ti & 1070 mini on the same luckpool  diff address / diff rig

same style rig at minez zone

your rig certainly has dips but mine is dropping to near zero like a crash or restart O_O you think it's a bad riser?

If you reference one of my rigs which is a 1080 TI / 1080 TI / 1070 mini which is a 1.8k sol rig for me / my settings it NEVER drops below 1k, this 6 card rig is dropping from 3k to 50 sols

I mine Zen on zhash.pro and my pattern looks like this:



The averages shown are pretty much spot on with what EWBF is telling me.  I run 13x 1080Ti with moderate overclocks on both Core and RAM.  Also got a pair of 1070s similarly clocked.  I have only been mining on this pool since the 14th.

I have 4 rigs on Windows 10 and all 1080ti x total 12 remain on ZEN on the Lucky Pool -- clocked moderately not too aggressive - seems same pattern like yours.

I think as long as it averages out to around the expected total hash - it should be ok - and just let the stratum server at Lucky Pool do its thing because the Stratum will control how many hash submitted to their server.

I have taken off the ETH farm off from ZEN to Nicehash since its paying higher and get BTC in return.

I went with Ubiquiti sunMAX.  I have a lot of their network gear and have been very pleased with it, so I figured I'd give the sunMAX solar products a shot.

260W panels are $203:

And their 250W inverters are $92:

http://www.doubleradius.com/Manufacturers/sunMAX/Ubiquiti-sunMAX-Microinverter.html

So for under $300, you have a 260W setup.  I got 80 panels and micro inverters, so 20.8kW system for $23,600.  To that cost you add mounting hardware (roof or ground mount) and then misc hardware and electrical.  Still, at the end of the day, your cost is about $1.50 per Watt if you do it yourself.

I was a very early customer of theirs, and I did have 20 out of 80 inverters fail within the first 6 month due to them all being from a pre-release batch that should have never been in the wild.  But they shipped 80 new inverters and I have only had to use 20 of them so far.  This is way I'm looking at doing another array since I already have the inverters.  I have had no failures from the replacement inverters.

phil let me know when i can link up with you and solar guy - would like to lease power on his grid.

beers on me.

hey dan, im about to build my array, which brand and wattage would you recomend for the panels and microinverters?, i consume about 2500kWh each 2 months.

I dont plan to reduce my bill to $0, but i want to try first with at least 4 panels..

Yes, my bad. BS was unwarranted. We should not judge companies by their name no matter how silly it sounds.

Still, their photoshopped board prop looks really cheesy and those Linear LDO's don't look right.

I need some help guys . .

I moved a three card riser-less build (actually because the AORUS is massive one was on a riser) to a 6 card riser build

originally 1080 TI 1080 TI 1070 mini . . no issues

now 1070 mini 1070 mini 1080 ti 1080 ti 1070 mini 1070 mini



Obviously there is a problem, I am running nvOC_19. Everything seems fine on the terminal but clearly something is not. .

The rig should be @ 3k

I agree that they are real  as to whether they build a good piece of gear    " ?  "   seem to cover it.  I will look for it.

GMO is a legit company. Listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, capital $50 million, revenue $1.3 billion (with a b), total assets $5.8 billion, employees 4400+.

Here's the official Investor Relations note: http://ir.gmo.jp/en/pdf/irlibrary/disclose_info20170907_e.pdf

Here's the official press release: https://www.gmo.jp/en/news/article/?id=752

You should do more research before calling BS.

Whether they will achieve what they announced, but the dates they announced, is another questions. But the company and project/initiative are as legit as can be.

I already have a solution to my motherboards.. i posted this in one of your alt coin threads in the past..and you are on your sixth now.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17589827





from where i live there is only two wires for electrical the 240v live and the ground wire..so i don't like metal contacts with my gear...it is a good idea though for setups with proper grounding...

btw the metal frame of my rack was hotter than the air in my mining room lol.. i still believe that metal can better dissipate heat from a psu than the air.

Yeah my plan was alot more risky , but I figured once the garage and power was hooked up its a one time cost and I was using the huge profits from the Eth spike

yeah   we are a little cheaper since he get parts at wholesale.  but nj power costs more.

10 cents for 7 months and 17 cents for 5 months

I never could be in the mining game solid with out the solar array.
Buysolar saves time and energy on getting gear and maintaining gear.  So it works.  this year was good enough for him to decide to build a bigger array in 3 stages.

so  the numbers below are   how much gear will be run for 'free'

9   - 13 kwatts now ---------------- split coins

all future numbers
19 - 27 kwatts fall---------  2017-- split coins
29 - 41 kwatts summer---  2018-- split coins
39 - 55 kwatts fall---------  2018-- split coins




I do 3 - 5 kwatts in house ---------------------------- all mine
I do 1 - 2 kwatts in a friends office ------------------ split coins
I do 1 -2  Kwatts in a second friends office --------- split coins

This was a good year.  For many people in coins.

So for the last 2 years

 I access 11-17 kwatts at a split coin price.

which means I have 5.5-8.5 free kwatts

and 3-5  kwatts at about 13.5 cents

those  'free' kwatts  give me the luxury of never mining at a power loss  as long as I don't  mine  too much  with the full pay power.

It also allows me to run gear at lower clocks to not burn it up.  which allows me to sell  good working used gear once in a while.

Its a business plan that  gives  no losses  if I am not a  high risk player.

Very nice, a small solar array is in my future I think next year

I have a 20kW solar array that I installed myself.  Total cost was around $30k all inclusive.  The quotes I got were over twice that.

I have a net metering agreement with my POCO, so what I don't use goes back on the grid and the POCO credits me at the same rate I pay, so 1:1.  I'm in VA.

Before I started mining, I was actually building up a bank of kWh with the POCO since I didn't consume as much as I generated.

In June I generated 2,580 kWh and consumed 2,348,

In July I started mining and generated 2,846 kWh and consumed 3,974 kWh.

August was crazy hot.  I generated 2,474 kWh and consumed 5,245 kWh.

My kWh rate is fixed year around and is about $0.12 with everything included.  With the solar and assuming I consume twice as much as I generate, my effective rate is about $0.06 per kWh.  I plan to add another 6.5 kW array, which I can do for about $4,800 since I already have the inverters and just need to get the panels and some Ironridge rails and hardware.

Yeah  the install is about ½ price for him.

But  NJ  allows us to sell back  to the Electrical companies at a decent price  which is key for this to work.

Wisconsin power companies built  a lot of wind power  by the lakes.  So that state is like f u and your solar power.

NJ does not have the great lakes spo  solar is the best shot for clean power.  It work nices so far.  But I am sure the state will want to f it up down the road.

I see, seems very complex way outa my league , I guess since your partner owns it you can operate at a whole different level.

@lonerangir buisness rate schedules are very diffrent from residential in pretty much all states ,
they call it the demand rate , basically you pay a higher fee if you dont use a minimum amount of power I think its like 1000kwh

https://www.xcelenergy.com/staticfiles/xe/Regulatory/Regulatory%20PDFs/rates/MN/MNBusRateCard.pdf

for example my total summer rate for 6000kwh this month was .03 + .025 plus the peak demand charges which came to .10 cents summer rates which is great since it includes fees and taxes

in comparison im paying .15 cents summer rates residential in the house and when u add fees taxes and fueul charges its closer to .25 cents

In the winter comercial rates are even better I expect to be paying. .06 or less october to april vs .15 residential

complex but here goes.

my partner buysolar owns a solar business.

we do 0  battery we sell  excess back to the grid.

we can generate  67 kwatts  of power with full sun.  so if we spend   12 kwatts  on mining  and 5 kwatts on his home in the current setup   we have    55kwatts to sell back each hour.

sellback is 5 cents  so  8 hours of sellback is  55 x 5 cents  = 2,75 x 8 = 22.00 dollars sold

 use 12 kwatts at 11 cents = 12 x 11 x 16 = 21.12 purchased



so   the mining on current system  cost    .8  cents a day

lets say  the panels and setup cost him 50 grand   before state incentives.  far lower then it would cast a regular guy as he is an installer.

our power cost is basically 0 every day  so if we mine  3000 a month in  coins.

say    1500 we are partners and 1500 is his  he is getting 2250 a month for 0 gear cost and 0 power cost.  so 2250 x 24 = 54000  and he has paid his solar array off.

what do I get 0 power cost.

can most people do this no.

as your state or country has to allow power to be sold back to the grid at an okay price.  in our case 4 or 5 cents is okay.


 the current array is  almost paid off for buysolar.

my gear has roi'd

so even though we don't whale like last spring    all gear is paid off.  and we are going to expand.

we Do not go battery route for solar.  as batteries still suck  unless you really know what you are doing they don't last and are costly.
