still harrasing him with mails

AppleMiner · · #51392

maybe id go ebay

AppleMiner · · #51393

at least if they send you a lemon can get it all back

impi · · #51394

i was wondering more like , because they are so expensive. is it worth it at all

Basara · · #51395

@Apple, I wonder how many miners get confused as pot grow houses. As I remember some show they found a grow house as it was the only one with all the snow melted from its roof.

AppleMiner · · #51396

yeah thermal imaging

AppleMiner · · #51397

and the watt meters run constant high loads...just like miners

AppleMiner · · #51398

i've worked with the police chief in my township before.

Basara · · #51399

LOL

AppleMiner · · #51400

i was head IT for a local company and I used to pull video servailance of outside road when there were traffic accidents for him

AppleMiner · · #51401

so I showed him the miner rack and said if the DEA ever contacts the township over this....

Basara · · #51402

Interesting, well at least you have job security.. people always do dumb crap

AppleMiner · · #51403

its so NOT a grow op, its totally electroci and computer servers.

Basara · · #51404

Might as well troll and grow orchids with a 600 watt HPS light and have tons of grow nutrients in your trash

AppleMiner · · #51405

i just told them i was running an offsite bakeup server farm and hosting backups for companys outside their facilities as a precaution.

Basara · · #51406

If you are planning any GPU mining or personal usage.. EVGA is selling their power supplies MASSIVELY discounted on their website. https://www.evga.com/BF2017/

AppleMiner · · #51407

not bad, but i only grab the P series

AppleMiner · · #51408

the one they had for platinum isnt bad like a third off, for a PC build would be awesome, not so much for a miner.

Basara · · #51409

I wouldn’t even touch desktop power supplies for asic miners as the price/watt is absurd. I use parallel miners server psu’s the 2400w 220v

AppleMiner · · #51410

i went with the bitmains apw5s for the D3s and apw3s for the L3+s

AppleMiner · · #51411

since i wasnt sure if i was going 110 or 220 that gave me the choice to move and test and use with with the same unit

Basara · · #51412

Well if you baught them direct from bitmain I agree on cost effectiveness.. I chose those to run 2 machines with extra headroom so the PSU fan isn’t going 10K rpm

AppleMiner · · #51413

i was going to buy the apw5++ that you can run 2 L3+s off of

AppleMiner · · #51414

less cords etc etc

AppleMiner · · #51415

but since there was no real cost savings, i decided not to put all the eggs in 1 basket, if I blow 1 power i didnt want to be out 2 miners

Basara · · #51416

uh, wouldn’t leave much room if you wanted to overclock them

AppleMiner · · #51417

the apw5++?

AppleMiner · · #51418

on 220 they go up to 2400 watts

Basara · · #51419

You’d be at 90% of apw5++ right?

Basara · · #51420

oh damn

AppleMiner · · #51421

the L3+s run at 800

AppleMiner · · #51422

if it had the cords...

AppleMiner · · #51423

but yeah I could run 2 OC on a 220v apw5++ no probls

Basara · · #51424

Yea, I know.. I thought 1600W but the apw5 is diff model lol

AppleMiner · · #51425

yeah the apw3 is 1200 on 110 i think so its taxing it on 110 with the OC they ship them with

AppleMiner · · #51426

and on 220 they can hit 1600 so lots of headroom

Basara · · #51427

As long as you aren’t at 80+ percent of the capacity and it’s properly cooled should never be an issue blowing a psu

AppleMiner · · #51428

none of my powers or circuits on my setups are at 80%

AppleMiner · · #51429

most closer to 70% i can still grow it out another 6-8 machines if i want

AppleMiner · · #51430

the powers wont ever go over 65-70 the miners are what they are cant add more to the power supplies really

Basara · · #51431

iirc, 10C increase capacitor temps halfs the lifespan

Basara · · #51432

For electrolytic capacitors there’s a general convention that for every drop of 10C in temperature, you double the lifetime rating of capacitors. There’s more complex formulas but basically a 8000h@105c electrolytic capacitor will last 16k hours at 95c , 32k hours at 85c and so on.. on motherboards capacitors may reach in some cases up to 60-70C but they don’t get close to 100c

AppleMiner · · #51433

and thats for the electorltic ones

Basara · · #51434

I’m sure it’s relatively the same for any capacitor

AppleMiner · · #51435

Polymer capacitors

AppleMiner · · #51436

Sanyo quotes a 10 times increase in lifetime for a 20degC reduction in operating temperature for their OS-CON polymer capacitors whist a wet electrolytic capacitor in comparison would increase lifetime by 4 times.

Basara · · #51437

dayum 10 times

AppleMiner · · #51438

and thats from like 2007?

AppleMiner · · #51439

i know they have made a few other carbon poly ones now just cant rmeeber

AppleMiner · · #51440

the military grade industral tri poly capacitors

AppleMiner · · #51441

but yes if using the old fluid ones, you basically boil away the magic smoke inside of them

AppleMiner · · #51442

and once its gone you cant get the magic to work anymore

AppleMiner · · #51443

some of the new ones dont have a liquid so less likely to boil off the magic smoke that makes them work

Basara · · #51444

I don’t think they use liquid ones anymore for that exact reason, lol

AppleMiner · · #51445

not really sure whats used on the boards for apower supply, I tend to not open those

AppleMiner · · #51446

when they stop working I pitch them, i do know better than attempt to fix a faulty power supply

Basara · · #51447

What kind of capacitor is sorta irrelavent as it’s at min double - 10 times lol

AppleMiner · · #51448

even if i thought i could fix it, not reliable, pitch it. i think a solid dependable power supply is really skimped on in most system builds.

AppleMiner · · #51449

which to me means...the capacity at any temp other than the 80 theminer triggers to shut itself off

AppleMiner · · #51450

will STILL outlast the longevity of the profitiblity of said miners 8)

Basara · · #51451

Cap’s, quality of solder job, and filtering are where they skimp

AppleMiner · · #51452

ok back to video games, enjoy the afternoon, i think some footballs is starting soonish

Basara · · #51453

1st thing to go on antminer is a stray heatsink falling off and 2nd possibility is the caps overheated

Basara · · #51454

have fun

crika1 · · #51455

hi guys, a quick question about payment, i can see that prohas made the payout in litecoin, but it has not hit my wallet, looks like they made the payment over an hour ago, but has not hit my wallet, anyway of checking that ?

AppleMiner · · #51456

you are correct it does look like the payments have gone out.

AppleMiner · · #51457

i wonder if its 12 hours behind....mmmmm pondering....

AppleMiner · · #51458

i am wondering with the server upgrades and stuff

crika1 · · #51459

yeah payments have gone out but , it has not come through to my wallet lol

AppleMiner · · #51460

if somewhere along the line they set something at 1200 becuase it was midnight, itstead of setting midnight at 00:00

AppleMiner · · #51461

because it feels like the payments were 12 hours off?

AppleMiner · · #51462

or maybe just with the servers offline yesterdya took a while to catch up and tally before it could pay out, not going to sweat it, betting tomorrow its all sorted fine.

crika1 · · #51463

one thing that i dont understand when i click on the payout that shows the date 27th nov, i can see the total sent etc etc, which is strange because if its showing its sent then it should have landed onto the wallet, or am i wrong there?

AppleMiner · · #51464

it very well has landed on the wallet

AppleMiner · · #51465

but until the wallet typically has 6 verifies

AppleMiner · · #51466

they typically do not credit your account

crika1 · · #51467

yeah i know, but if the payment was made an hour ago, it should have had the 6 verifies by now, youd think lol

AppleMiner · · #51468

so for LTC i can send from 1 wallet to the next in like 5 mins but can then take 30 mins to verify compeltely before the funds are releasable to me

AppleMiner · · #51469

depends on the network, and the wallet place

AppleMiner · · #51470

can send 2 coins to 2 wallets at the same time, 1 will liekly get it before the other

AppleMiner · · #51471

ohh i found a BCC this morning at 5am, for 2500$

AppleMiner · · #51472

too bad i wasnt soloing

crika1 · · #51473

hehehe yeah, i think i might have to lodge a ticket if it doesnt come through in the next 12 hours , as there is no transaction appearing when i search on the blockchain with the wallet id

wowzers... no wonder we mine that one so much

Jakeg5280 · · #51475

i have found 13 blocks today on one machine... that is odd for me. i got bridgecoin a few times in there($5.43)

crika1 · · #51476

hehehe the only blocks i seem to be finding is the sexcoin and newyorkcoin lol

Forum notification · · #51477

has started a new topic: All services offline on December 2

@Steve Sokolowski : </strong> hi Steve, any issues atm with litecoin payouts as they still have not come through?

may142012 · · #51479

Is it a good idea to solo mine in X11 as of now?

jess_1 · · #51481

i got one too apple but i was orphaned unfortunately

planing your vacation? lol

crika1 · · #51483

@Jakeg5280 :  heheh yeah vacation is all sorted out now hehehehehe

AppleMiner · · #51484

Id mine vegascoin and sexcoin and cannibis coin if that was the way that worked.

may142012 · · #51485

Is it gonna be crazy if i solo mine Dash right now?

may142012 · · #51486

Or should stick to PPS method?

now we are talkin. nothing in new york for me lol

Jakeg5280 · · #51488

probably a stupid question i think i know the answer too but are these upgrades making it easier for us to find blocks? i am up to 18 blocks just for today on one machine.. sexcoin, newyork coin, bridgecoin and annoncoin

nacos · · #51489

:lol:

crika1 · · #51490

hey guys, whats the best wallet to use for litecoin?

ZiGen · · #51491

Litecoin core ...the original one from litecoin.org
