I got a quick question, my local electronic store have 49.9k resistor, bit it's not marked what the tolerance is, what difference would it make if it's 1% or 5% .?

Coolb2

1% +/- within 49.9k indicated value
5% +/- within 49.9k indicated value

But most likely if they are 49.9k, they are probably 1%.

I'm using 1% and 5%. There's little difference in power consumption / performance one way or the other.

Enjoy your extra hashes!

Thanks Wolfey, you're the MAN

Well another success story, first pod i did and the results are great, hashing away at freq 1200 = 510 kh/s client side, no HW, later i'll try higher freq and see the result, and here's a picture of my handy work, not to shabby.

Good work but that connection looks a little bit thin. I always make sure the entire pad is covered and soldered to the wire sitting on top of it.
It can be done a little bit better by first tinning the resistor wires, then after soldering the wire to the test pin hole, heat the wire at the inner pad itself as close to the pad as possible and let both tinned solder points melt together in to the pad leaving a 100% covered and strong Earth Quake Proof connection.

Just a little tip from a pro. Wink

Good work though! If it's working stably, great! Let it eat!
