Hey all,

Hope profits were in your favor lately, ive been out of the loop on mining, ive kinda fallen into a back burner farmer and have spent more time in my real estate business ive been slowly building up as i obtain rental properties. The mining and bots have been a nice and steady income for me to fall back on during the slower months when very little houses are available on the wholesale market to purchase.

Updates on the farm, up till this weekend the water loop peaked 60c on a 94F day here in Florida, so i spent the weekend extending my loop another 1000ft with more pex tube, ive decided im not ready to add radiators and fans into the farm again, im seeing how far i can run this off geothermal alone on the cooling, the addon 1000ft i buried it about twice the depth compared to the first loop i installed on the system and connected it all up and got it running Sunday about mid-day. The temp outside was 91F and the loop was only peaking 46c with the reconnect, but the system only saw the 91F for a few hours at most with the addon. I am trying to get ready for the upcoming approaching summer temps....

The mining hardware has been rock stable, i made a huge adjustment in the way the mining is implemented on my rigs, previously i had all the rigs setup farming as group of cards and after talking with someone who is a much larger farmer than im currently at, he experimented with solo-card farming and found it made his rigs more stable and made troubling cards stick out far easier, allowing for diagnosing to be easier. I ungrouped all my rigs and now have the GPU's mining solo, with their own specific benchmark settings to determine which algo is best for it to switch to. So a 6 card rig has 6 individual miners doing their own thing, mining their own algo's based on individual benchmark settings. Some huge takeaways from this, is that the rigs that i was having random lockups/hiccups on, the rig itself no longer goes down as a whole with miners not loading due to cards greyed out or frozen, now only the GPU on those rigs that is causing the headaches is locking up and the rest is just happily farming away. I also installed a TV in my office that runs off an amazon firestick, which is web browsed to my awesome miner display via the local host, i have it setup on the simple dashboard that only shows the amount of GPU's mining and estimation of profits, so if i look up at that screen i can quickly see if a GPU is down from the number changing... then i look into which GPU it is and proceed from there... 

In regards to the bots, boy they have been killing it, this month has been a huge month for me and i think it boils down to all the time ive spent adjusting the settings for every pair i trade, im currently up to 110 pairs charted out and settings inputted for trading...
Example: Just since midnight and its coming up on 6am, im already up like 1.7% with the one bot in profit for the day.
