Hey Fahlcor, that is some serious power you're bringing. What kind of equipment are you running and how are you liking it? I'm still running S3's and some pencil-moded s1's so I may be looking to upgrade so some new stuff in the near future.

Curious to know what kind of performance are you getting with the pencil-moded S1's and are they throwing off a lot of hardware errors?

I'm not sure how familiar you are with the pencil mod but you can mod these in either direction, undervolt or overvolt. The idea of undervolting (what i've done) is to lower you hashing power and your power consumption at the same time. The way the S1's work as you lower both the power consumption lowers faster than your hashing power so you can increase your hash per watt. So far everything is working fine. What you loose is overall hashing power, you gain in efficiency. I think I might actually be throwing less errors (as a percentage of hash) than I did before the mod. Either way I've always had a really low amount of errors.

The nice thing abotu the pencil mod is that its really easy to un-do so when (not if) the price of BTCs goes back up sufficiently high enough I can un-do the pencil mod and overclock these back up for full raw hashing power.

Let me know if this answers your question or if you're interested in hearing more.

WOOOOOT!! block

If I can catch another one in the next 12 hours I will be up .5 btc on my rental. .75 earned back so far on the 1 btc I spent.

Everyone think Block!!!!

If I hit another I would gladly put another BTC into the hopper for rentals and hopefully help hit a block faster.

Woohooo I'm up .55 BTC from my rental and still a good chunk of time until it fully wears off. My miners just came off of 5 days back to back being on rentals also. Was a strong week for me.

If anyone else is renting and wants to time it together let me know. Otherwise once these last 2 confirm I will be tossing at least 1 BTC back into more rentals to see what happens.

I'm not terribly familiar with renting hash at the levels you seem to be renting. I've seen the companies that rent hashing power (cloud hash, etc...) and the guys on ebay leasing out their equipment by the hour but it seems like your taking a different route. If I can learn a little more about where you're renting it, what the costs look like and how the process works I might be willing to time something with you. Any of threads of links to information that you can pass along would be much appreciated. Despite my loathing of luck chasers, I'm willing to play a little Blackjack or drop some money in the slot machine as it were.
