the MD wants to help but usually just prescribes drugs

AppleMiner · · #77158

@FastCashMining :  can I get the number to your PCP please.

AppleMiner · · #77159

need me some script doctors.

FastCashMining · · #77160

Well these days it’s harder than it was

spauk · · #77161

zoloft

FastCashMining · · #77162

I wanted xanax for some time to help sleep but they gave ambien

spauk · · #77163

ambien is pretty good

FastCashMining · · #77164

zoloft doesnt work on my brain chemistry according to a test i had done

FastCashMining · · #77165

ambien can be intense

FastCashMining · · #77166

if you stay awake

spauk · · #77167

just stay away from the heavy machinery

FastCashMining · · #77168

yea exactly

spauk · · #77169

i went to a psychologist for some zoloft and he made me cry in his office and sent me away. i had to go to a regular ass doctor across the street to get the presciption. he wasn’t a dick about it

spauk · · #77170

like literally across the street. true story

spauk · · #77172

i don’t get it

AppleMiner · · #77173

dont get what?

spauk · · #77174

you started that topic but it has some other dude in it. and it doesn’t make sense

AppleMiner · · #77175

i was splitting off his thread/hijack to its own thread

AppleMiner · · #77176

he asked a question on another thread instead of making his own

AppleMiner · · #77177

so I had to make a new thread in the right forum and then split his off and merge it into there

spauk · · #77178

moderator mind tricks

AppleMiner · · #77179

otherwise it splits off with it a copy of the original title the post was replied to

AppleMiner · · #77180

and I cant edit post titles

AppleMiner · · #77181

or what other people post

AppleMiner · · #77182

only delete, move, merge, split

spauk · · #77183

how did you become a moderator? just volunteered one day and they were like here ya go

AppleMiner · · #77184

well first there was the background checks

AppleMiner · · #77185

and the PA-133 forms I had to fill out

spauk · · #77186

seriously?

AppleMiner · · #77187

yeah I was just active and they were asking if anyone wanted to and someone put my name in for it since i was on here a lot helping and chatting

AppleMiner · · #77188

and they asked and I said sure so been doing it since

spauk · · #77189

PA133 sounds kinda made up

AppleMiner · · #77190

i made that up

spauk · · #77191

yea you do pretty good

spauk · · #77192

the spam makes me angry, i reported a few of them ages ago. not sure if that does anything

AppleMiner · · #77193

what spam?

spauk · · #77194

all those shoe advertisements, like wtf guy?

AppleMiner · · #77195

those i kill off soon as I see them

AppleMiner · · #77196

so do the other mods

spauk · · #77197

no one goes to mining pools to buy shoes

AppleMiner · · #77198

and bann the acocunts

AppleMiner · · #77199

yeah if its not crypto related its gone

AppleMiner · · #77200

ok time to go play taxi, brother off to airport for a vacation

AppleMiner · · #77201

back later

spauk · · #77202

good luck, cya

AppleMiner · · #77203

ACT-21

AppleMiner · · #77204

i did teaching in college for some local highschool computer club

AppleMiner · · #77205

and I had to pass act-21 background exam and I had to get some other approval to be allowed to teach young children

AppleMiner · · #77206

so for 3-4 years I was a certified high school associate teacher

AppleMiner · · #77207

couldnt teach on my own only while supervised

spauk · · #77208

being a teacher sounds kinda nice. i think you can get student loan forgiveness or something. about as good as serving in the military, they also get cheap/free education

AppleMiner · · #77209

only if you teach for 10 years in inner city or rural

AppleMiner · · #77210

the forgiveness has some stipulations

spauk · · #77211

i was kinda jealous of a college friend that served in the air force and got his college ride paid for. i’m still paying off student loan debt

AppleMiner · · #77212

and you need full certs and a degree, not just associate teacher

AppleMiner · · #77213

thanks to crypto this year, after 17 years of paying on that damned thing

AppleMiner · · #77214

I capped off the last 42K I owed on it

AppleMiner · · #77215

so I now owe taxes on 42K i made to pay them off...but I get 8K back for paying them all off

AppleMiner · · #77216

sounded like a win win to me

spauk · · #77217

i don’t think military would accept me. might have to try sometime to see what they say. not sure if they would retroactively pay for old college time. i am stopping payments on my student loan for like a year so they are going to capitalize on the interest big time. i should be paying the interest

spauk · · #77218

i just don’t care anymore really. no hope of paying it off in any reasonable time, but i got about half of it paid when i had money

spauk · · #77219

i thought there was some kind of loan forgiveness after 10 years. not sure really, but i think it’s been like 10 years

spauk · · #77220

10 years of no job from the 2 years i spent in college

spauk · · #77221

maybe i’m just unemployable

FastCashMining · · #77222

lol dont think so

FastCashMining · · #77223

where are you living?

meinerkey · · #77224

XRP (Ripple) for payout coin please Steve?

FastCashMining · · #77225

Lol ripple

FastCashMining · · #77226

Because they are teaming up with Moneygram?

Steve Sokolowski · · #77227

meinerkey wrote: XRP (Ripple) for payout coin please Steve?
We’re in the process of hiring someone to do that sort of thing

FastCashMining · · #77228

You two should develop your own miner.

spauk · · #77229

like miner software? or you mean like a GUI like nicehash or minergate

spauk · · #77230

it’s a lot of bloat to make miner software that works for everything, most asics need specific software to run it

spauk · · #77231

which is why nicehash and minergate software is for cpu and gpu and they don’t really give software for asics

spauk · · #77232

bfgminer works for most of the asics though, it’s pretty good except when it won’t accept any shares at 65536 or higher difficulty

spauk · · #77233

if i were a programmer i would poke around the code if it’s open source but it was easier for me to just find another version that works

FastCashMining · · #77234

I got minergate running at home, just got it i like the UI and autoswitcher

spauk · · #77235

i’ve never actually compiled a miner on my own. which is pretty risky really, always downloading executables for windows

FastCashMining · · #77236

when my two new machines get in ill really have to sit down and decide what software to use

spauk · · #77237

usually you can get advice for the software to use from the seller of the asic, for gpu’s it’s pretty simple, ccminer for nvidia and cgminer for amd

spauk · · #77238

not sure what miner software is under the hood for minergate. i think monero is usually like xmr stak or something

toxin · · #77239

someone knows if the apw3++ got some kind of a poti to increase the voltage ? got one server psu where i adjusted the voltage to 12.8v witch runs much better with the l3s as the apw3 with only 12.2v which produce more hw errors

spauk · · #77240

and eth or etc run some sort of daggerhashimoto so you need enough ram for it and it builds the dag

spauk · · #77241

no clue but it sounds like a bad idea

spauk · · #77242

you only really need 12 volts, you’ll ruin the warranty if it has any

spauk · · #77243

i know there is an ebay seller of custom server psu for mining. called amity labs, and they might have an answer

toxin · · #77244

its rated up to 13v

toxin · · #77245

(the l3)

spauk · · #77246

but he just buys the server psu and adds the pcie plugs and whatever plug you need, not sure if he goes in the psu at all beyond that

toxin · · #77247

well i build them on my own for my needs server psu is only around 20$

spauk · · #77248

i think i’ve heard of some psu that allows overvolting but i can’t remember it now

toxin · · #77249

i just thought they might be better so i bought some with the last batch but no :D my around 30$ server psu is doing much better

spauk · · #77250

as long as it doesn’t catch fire, doing pretty good

spauk · · #77251

you’d almost need some electronics lab equipment to make any changes to a psu. i’m pretty familiar with the multimeter and oscilloscope, but even i wouldn’t touch it. probably not certified

toxin · · #77252

i do yeah but i dont wanna open the apw3

toxin · · #77253

i bet there is some kind of voltage adjustment

toxin · · #77254

with the hp server psu it was enough to solder an pot on the connections for it so i can adjust it from 11v to 14.5v

spauk · · #77255

might be some way to boost it externally like that. i might open up an old atx power supply just to fix it, i can’t get in contact with the company for the warranty. shady chinese electronics

spauk · · #77256

but i guess it’s my fault for buying cheap things

toxin · · #77257

hehe
