Hello All,

How have all of yall been?

Ive not been on a lot lately, been in South Korea visiting my girlfriend for a few weeks. She wanted to spend time away from all annoyances in life, so i respected her wishes...

Came back to Water Loop for GPU farm max temps hitting 58c while i was gone with days hitting 90f+ during the day.... best part is i only had 4 GPU's go offline while i was away on my travels.. all 4 came back online after a simple restart, so more monitoring on them is in the future.

While i was gone the bots managed a profit of 0.195btc, so a good month for the bots mostly coming from the latest bot being added to the lineup... seems i have my pinescripts dialed in well for autoview....

58c is hardly worrysome. For continuos rig monitoring, check out SRR by same author SMOS

Your bot army has been good to you and they dont need a vacation too :-)

Meanwhile. https://www.coindesk.com/bitmain-gets-go-ahead-us-bitcoin-mining-operation/

China's crypto mining giant, Bitmain, is one step closer to establishing mining facilities in Washington state.

The Port of Walla Walla - Walla Walla county's economic development agency - unanimously approved a land lease and purchase option that would allow Bitmain to build its new crypto mining facility. The company's Ant Creek subsidiary will be able to lease 10 acres with an option to purchase after one year. However, an initial option for an additional 30 acre purchase was removed from the agreement.

Ant Creek still has to agree to the terms to complete the deal, local newspaper the Union Bulletin reported. If it does, it will pay approximately $4,700 per month in rent.

Ya i really like the SRR, but i dont use SMOS. I have all my rigs on profit switching 24/7 currently running on NemoMiner, but i am able to monitor all the rigs via AwesomeMiner. I only didnt see them being off because i basically turned off my cell phone for multiple days while i was visiting her and we went and traveled to a few places together.

It was a perfect vacation, because i recently made a huge purchase (2018 Zero SR) splitup among 4 credit cards that offered me huge points rewards deals. Basically if i would have applied all the points i gained to statement as cash off i would have only gotten 1cent per point totaling out to around $4600 worth of statement credit on my credit cards, but you can use the points on travel, hotels, and rentals @ 2.1cents per point. So i purchased my plane ticket to South Korea, payed for all my hotel stays with the points, and payed for my rental car while i was there... increasing the value of my points to $9600ish. Which i ended up spending all of it while on vacation splurging in luxury suites and a high-end Mercedes rental car.

Basically walked away from nearly a month long vacation for a few hundred dollars out of pocket.

SRR supports SMOS/Linux and Windows (No SMOS).

Those credit card rewards deals are useful - I used mine for airline seat upgrades and free hotel stays mainly. I had a nice San Francisco holiday with the wife a few years ago 99% covered by loyalty rewards - very nice holdiay that one. I doubt I can do that again since I retired early 2 years ago from my day job because of Bitcoin.... and life now is much more "simplified" Cheesy

I have 2 rigs on NemoMiner/Windows - 6 x 1080ti each. Its mining to MPH and my son's BTC Trezor. He just started Year 1 in university and I told him to figure it out, get a part time job and use the BTC wisely because I will not be sending money through the bank to him Grin

I just dug out my old Gunbot license and started to play with it again -- it was too complicated for me when I bought it from Gunther a year ago. I will have more time now to study it a bit closer. Do you have any simpler bots to try out?

SRR on windows i didnt know you could do that, ill have to look into it more.

I made huge efforts to reduce the weak points in my riserbased rigs and after making all these upgrades i have had very little issues with them compared to before.
1) i deleted all the connectors as much as possible, if it was capable for me to solder the connection, i did just that.. i cut all the connectors off and soldered them wire to wire and shrink wrapped them.
2) when i redid most of my rigs, i built clamping system out of wood that maintains a constant clamping pressure between the GPU and the Riser along with applied a liberal amount of hot glue on the PCIE connection to try and reduce loose issues from viberation and heat..
3) The constant temps from going watercooled has reduced my overclocking issues greatly, with all cards running the same temp, the constant changing of OC/MEM settings everytime it switches algo's has been rock stable, plus i gave up on trying to push cards to the last point, now if a card fails or locksup on a certain algo i back it off by 5 and run it and dont bother to try and squeeze more out of it...

In regards to the Credit Cards, ive have always viewed credit cards as a source of income for me, i abuse them greatly since i have an 848 credit rating due to how much i use credit cards and maintain a perfect payment history. I currently use a series of 27 credit cards right now, all loaded into Samsung Pay so i dont have to carry them all on me with them all labeled with what they are best used for and i track the ones that have annual payments on a google calendar and cancel them just before the annual renew date.

Example of some of the cards i use daily...
Chase Ink Business ATT: Cell Phone Insurance up to $650 for free if i pay cell phone service with card, plus i get 5% back on cell phone service charges, no longer have to pay insurance through ATT Cellular
Fannie Mae: 6% on groceries
Amazon Prime Platinum Business: 6% on Amazon Purchases
Citi Cash Double Rewards: 6% on Restaurants for 2 years
Chase Cash Custom Rewards: 6% on Electronics and 6% on Gas up to $2500/yr
Pilot Travel Platinum: 8% on gas/diesel up to 100 gallons each quarter @ pilot or flyingj, pilot gas station down the street from me near interstate...
Chase Ink Business Preferred: 5% on home improvement + 10% i get at store for being Military Veteran, so 15% off in total
Capital One Chevy Buy Power: 10% off chevy services and parts, 15% off tires, 20% off premium oil changes. I own a chevy cars, so you earn points towards purchase of new chevy cars, when i bought my last car i was able to take $3200 off based on money i spent on this card over a few years servicing my car at the dealership.
Fidelity: 3% on everything up to $2500/yr, receive pts to spend on investments
Verizon Business Preferred Card: 5% off Verizon purchases, Free Wifi Modem upgrade + free internet upgrade with $1,000 spent/yr. My Fios Internet+TV is over $100/month, so i was upgraded to 250download/upload this year for free.

Then i have a constant rotation of credit cards i signup for and cancel every year based on high cash back/rewards.
Example: last month i used Amex Gold w/ 100,000pts if purchased $4,000 over 3 months, so i used a service called Plastiq to pay my mortgage via the credit card for a 2.5% fee, but after charging $4,000 to my credit card i received 100,000pts, which i redeemed for $1,000 prepaid gift card. So i saved 22.5% off on my mortgage payment of $4,000, which in my eye is like paying myself $1,000 for already having to pay my mortgage...

I do the following above a few times a year as credit card companies allow me to on large purchases. I bought a large portion of my mining hardware this way using credit cards. I view it as a creative way to make money from money.
