I realized I gave 0.002 btc not 0.003 btc

LTC: LQZpb8AqbggUmsdPKr28DzdNcRP7MJ8kEf

BTC: 1LeA29mLjTFCyB5J6Yiq4TFtAck2VDPUZf

LTC:LX5vpxrQE4eLRLPobKwZhw2comkKFCh3p4

BTC:14w9Lea6kdVzspJk8TQRe7qSYu9LhzJJsh I sent to here

@ jstefanop are all above addresses good?

I just sent 0.0022 from profile wallet

https://blockchain.info/tx/5680de333a1efaac0e660aab6030ceb5bcf141614d8bf65cd12a0769840e7bde

and I did send 0.002 from coinbase

https://blockchain.info/tx/9401c0ee31116b421b1e6204bbadba2f576e39ad72f0d10a9f1eade9efdffb3c

So 0.0042 btc total

will be saving 12 x 100 = 1200 watts that is over 850 k-watts a month. that is 85 dollars at 10 cents

I will send to you again in June.

so I was checking donations made or at least deposits made

https://blockchain.info/address/1LeA29mLjTFCyB5J6Yiq4TFtAck2VDPUZf

0.01412 btc since may 7

https://blockchain.info/address/14w9Lea6kdVzspJk8TQRe7qSYu9LhzJJsh

0.0042 btc since may 8

https://live.blockcypher.com/ltc/address/LQZpb8AqbggUmsdPKr28DzdNcRP7MJ8kEf/

.2762 ltc last 10 days

https://live.blockcypher.com/ltc/address/LX5vpxrQE4eLRLPobKwZhw2comkKFCh3p4/

0.0633 ltc last 10 days

so

0.0183 btc = 150 usd

0.3395 ltc = 45 usd

so he has received a max of 195 usd in donations.

Consider that this software saves me about 100 watts a miner and I have 12 miners = 1200 watts = about 30 kwatts a day or 3.00usd a day at 10 cent a kwatt.

that is 90 a month. I gave him .0042 btc or 35 usd so far.

If I could code this I would want a few more then the 195 for the ltc alone.

So I think he will not be rushing to do more for us. @ op I will send you 0.0058 soon which will be 0.0100 total and that will equal 1 month of my power savings.

If people want D3 or A3 you could those him more coin.

Be sure to send to his address in his op https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3546316.msg36338080#msg36338080

I will donate as soon as me and my partner get around to making these tweaks...but as of now my partner is still setting up L3+'s in the box

and dealing with an electrican...with his stuff..if this keeps up ..the whole thing will be 'moot' anyway...my L3+'s that are up are making

53c a day after electric....just saying..others may be in despair and not really also be jumping on this mod...as we speak..for the same reasons as

me ....why bother improving the engines on the Titanic if the iceberg of difficulty is gonna sink the L3+ boat anyway...

IF we manage to get the LTC price say above $160 again, (where I'm making more than a $1 a day) you

may have some more motivated people...as to myself ..I watch this mess and basically am turning into a

'lump' of an unmotivated miner....ie (are the miners up ...good....goes back to bed pulls covers over his head)

I think your logic is a bit off Wink

If anything lower prices/profits will motivate people more to reduce voltages and increase efficiency. If your scraping by and can reduce power by 10-20% thats pretty big...of course 10-20% power reduction did not matter when the L3's were making 1k per month last year Wink

I probably was not clear...if the price of LTC say reaches a point, where you can't mine it with the elec costs for the majority of the 'consumer' small guys

1-20 Bitmain units say...then that leaves Bitmain......centralized mining....likely with new 'supposed' 1.5gh units they will mine for 5 months over the summer

and allow us 'crumbs' of pre-orders in the fall ...after driving up difficulty another 30% say...thus, the choice is see all your pow-scrypt current miners scrap'd

and watch bitmain play these games and have to 'start over' with their products on their timeline in say late fall...

so my point to the 'voltage' fix...sure...it helps a lot....say you get 15% reduction in power..sure...it helps...but just saying...looks a bit rigged...Bitmain...coupons expireiing (most) june 1st, I think it is, etc, etc

and may not really matter much in the next month if trends continue..the end result is pow scrypt pretty much centralized to bitmain data halls and the rest of

the stuff doorstops ..remember we are looking at 30% difficulty rise per month....we saw this game by KNC in 2014 using pre-order money to make BTC Neptunes for

their data halls first and then release to thenpublic...they were good for 5 months and made 25% of cost back at best.....not exactly the same thing...but the intent to

control pow-scrypt seems to ben the same...as KNC BTC tricks ..back in the day...

I will get this stuff up eventually, electrician issues on the place I'm hosting and they have to get 160 L3+'s up (bigger folk than me) thus probably be 2

weeks before a guy can get to these mods on my stuff

anyway, we will be the first to know I guess

I'll get the donation out as soon as 1) installed 2) and see what I'm making to give him appropriate $$$ he deserves... but a couple months more of sideways

in price with difficulty rises and especially if bitmain really does have supposed 1.5gh units for pow scrypt coming out this summer and same pre-orders for fall

that has me a bit concerned...hopefully I'm dead wrong in a big way...

later
