I am only telling of my experiences, I have quite a few 3 ph 200 amp clusters, the average wattage is about 1100 watts.


Are you close to data center temps at 71F/22C? Also, if you are moving air do you have any humidity concerns?

Is there any negative to increase the breaker to 50amp( 50 x .80 = 40/7 = 5.6a) for 5 miners and one PDU per breaker? I wonder if they have a 5 (c13) PDU at great price?

Also, Big Al says here ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2478836.0 ) that for every 11amps of three phase power you can run three miners one for each phase? If true then, 50a x .80 = 40a/11a = 3.63a x 3 miners = 10.9 miners?

50 amps breakers require 8 gauge wire.  Good luck finding matching receptacles unless your using a PDU that matches that.

Your original post indicated 208V power, which is what I presumed was being supplied to your stated 2 pole breakers, with the 3 phase power balanced between them.  For anything more complicated, hire a certified electrician and have him do the math.  3-phase power is not as simple to work with as single phase.

Correct I was looking for PDU's to match and found 3 phase PDU's here http://www.bitcoinpowerstrips.com it is the marketing page for http://www.raptorpowersystems.com/

I wanted to go from the panel, hard wired directly to the PDU mounted on the shelving. We ordered a WYE/3phase transformer and we have electricians, I just do not like them as much. They are not very helpful and we are shopping around.

1)  Depends on the speed of your S9s, to a small degree.

Presuming 13.5TH, they draw 0.098W/TH, so 1323 Watts FOR THE CHIPS ONLY.  Bitmain lies when they say that is "At the wall".  Add another 10% for power supply inefficiency, control board power, fans, etc.  So lets call it 1455 watts each.

Blokforge recently posted this video: https://youtu.be/gMZSEV6H-_4, which shows 1458 watts on a 13.5TH unit, so 10% is close.

2)  At 208V, each miner is going to draw about 7 amps (6.995 something per my calc)
2a)  A 20 Amp breaker can be continuously loaded at no more than 80%, so 16 amps.
2b)  Therefore you can run (2) S9s per 20 amp breaker
2c)  Therefore you have enough breakers to run all the S9s, but not the L3s.

4)  Built mine out of Unistrut (well, the similar material available from Home Depot).  Much stronger and re-designable vs. commercial shelving.  Likely much cheaper.  My setup has (5) 10' shelves that each hold (10) units.  Those are replicated as needed.


Is there any negative to increase the breaker to 50amp( 50 x .80 = 40/7 = 5.6a) for 5 miners and one PDU per breaker? I wonder if they have a 5 (c13) PDU at great price?

this address could be any ones  address.

don't  ever send with out screen shots  .

there is zero proof the adress you sent to is coinbase.


Not saying it did not happen.

I am still missing 2 ETC sent to me.  from an exchange



How do I find out what address the coinbase app generated on an android? Is there a file that would contain that data in the coinbase app? You can do it from the web with tools-->addresses?

One august 30th I sent .25BTC from a Lykke wallet apple to a Coinbase wallet on android. That coinbase address does not appear in the listed addresses on the website when you login. It also never showed as pending?

How is it possible that the Coinbase mobile app generated an address that does not appear on the web? Coinbase refuses to address the issue?

They have serious flaws in their code and internal processes. The market needs and alternative with a visa card.

Here is the transaction

Dash is going up for the following reasons.
  • The fiat system is running out of steam and when it goes it will give no warning
  • For right now, this currency is a soaring holder of value. What is the number of ShakePay new visa cards being issued since the FUD packers are so concerned with transaction strength.
  • The ETF should be approved and then bitcoin will take off and I will still be accumulating DASH, if it is not approved then like everyone else this is a hedge. My money follows the multiverse concept wherein we have many crypto's to choose from.
  • I am in arizona and the entire state is getting behind DASH plus the mormons so take that. They did not move to https://economicdevelopment.asu.edu/ SkySong at ASU to fail. While driving for Lyft, I pick up some of the smartest people in the world doing all types of research in everything at that place.

Almost forgot, DASH is about to be a base pair like btc/usd | eth/usd | dash/usd.

Re: [XRP] Ripple Speculation

Ripple has great potential and is very cheap. So the only question is can you afford to gamble with 100 - 300 bucks?

     I think we have to look at the Ripple project from a higher altitude and consider the future of money, banking cartels, central banks, and the zeitgeist of our times as banks deal with their terminal illness. Ripple if not clandestine, then is a competitor to the current banking cartel which has over 100 youtube conspiracy videos explaining in detail how we all ended up slaves to the 1%. The presence of this forum and the accompanying provocateurs are evidence of the wave of change that is coming or here at this moment.
     The wave has to much kinetic energy to stop, so they are going to try to redirect or influence its direction. Build barriers and hire professional FUD packers whenever possible.
     If I were ripple and I had the resources to pull it off, I would get a significant footprint around the entire earth before I made my presence known to my enemies. The enemies are the americans and other so called populist movements around the earth that will rejecting fiat with her ruling families. That would not be possible without letting a few traders and early adopters get rich, that would be us; you need them to give you momentum and add social proof to the sheeple. Banking executives who can personally get rich by making early investments will not oppose your rule, if they are in the game. Ripple is a bridge to allow the banking oligarchs to be reborn in a new paradigm. This was never intended for the masses and once that is done, the door will close and sell only will be allowed on the exchanges when they consolidate their power.
     The current news about the big banks joining ether and/or hyperledger is the same play, other cartels jockeying for position in the post under the basket of the future.
     Ripple is the SDR competitor, a superclass connecting all the banks regardless of nation, while at the same time trying desperately to kill Shaq or Bitcoin. They are not benevolent and I do not trust the motives of the Stellar guy who's is going to undergird (7B Ripple) the underbanked with a currency based on Ripple super money at some point on the other side of the reset. Let's help the poor blacks and browns with the new and improved fiat on a shiny new mobile phones with 5G LTE, what's app, fucking uber. It is possible, just not likely.

Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin - v1.10.0

on 23/02/2017, 06:15:15 UTC
I think Dogecoin is a reflexive play in opinion. Anything based on the tried and tested bitcoin will do well at some point, but when is the question? At some point, Bitcoin will be on everyone's tongue in spite of a possible negative ruling by powers that be. There is nothing they can do if the Winklevoss ETF moves offshore and takes all the sovereign wealth money from all around the globe. I predict that are going to deny the application because it is the only weapon they have, power concedes nothing, ever! So momentum will eventually win. I think the price on this future date like Berkshire Hathaway will psychologically awesome and cause sticker shock. I predict the masses of newbies will flock to Litecoin and also Doge as they see the Bitcoin price climb to election level coverage on all the major networks. If the institutional bulls run to bitcoin with just 1% that price might scare newbies and so they will run to a less crowded door with the same utility.

Re: Do you think Rootstock will be a better solution than ETH?
by
SupaDude
on 21/01/2017, 07:52:57 UTC
Once Rootstock comes live, do you think that it might overcome Ethereum as a smart contracts platform? As we've seen, ETH is very flawed (to many security issues) so maybe Rootstock will be even more secure as it will be running alongside Bitcoin's blockchain.

Still, I'm curious to know whenever smart contract security will be enforced as flaws like The DAO can cause great caos among the ecosystem.

Nevertheless, I would to know your thoughts about the next smart contracts platform, as it may prove itself to be a more secure environment for decentralized apps than ETH or any other alternative.  Smiley

At this point I dunno, they are still too new. I would like to see three to four major smart contract platforms to keep anyone from taking over the world. Take your pick from those who look like they have a good shot now. I tried to pick a diverse group with dev teams coming from around the world.
  • RootStock
  • Eth
  • AntShares/NEM
  • Rise/Expanse/Waves

Do not quote me, but I think Ethereum has enough cash to do an entire rewrite, so I think they are going to fix the security issues, some heavy weights told them what to do to fix the bugs and they have the money. Put it in perspective, a 22 year old kid without a Yoda wrote the software the change the world and it had some bugs. He made a big enough PR splash to get the attention of some major security and dev talent. So I think they will be OK, if they get it right next time, which means they need a nice even pace with no mistakes.

Re: Why the world needs Ripple XRP - Whitepaper

on 20/01/2017, 22:03:15 UTC
Payments is just the gateway for ripple, I am sure the have much larger aspirations.
As important as knowing what you are is knowing what you aren't. The payments business is *huge* and it's going to take us a very long time and maximal effort to both grow it and take a slice of it. We've definitely talked about other things, but we're already trying to do as much in the payments space as we possibly can.

For example, there are a few people within Ripple who think that we should be doing something big in the identity space. I'm not one of them, and they are definitely in the minority. And the reason is this: Imagine if we had a perfect idea and fully-formed product for that space. We'd still need to market it, support it, and so on. Getting significant enough market traction to make it valuable is a massive undertaking,  comparable in scope to our current and planned efforts in the payments space. If we could double those, we would, we wouldn't build a second, equally large, parallel effort in another space.

That said, we do constantly re-evaluate our strategy and direction. And we do constantly evaluate whether we're trying to do too many things (and spreading ourselves too thin) or too few things (and possibly missing opportunities).

I agree and did not add any time frames to my comments. Yes, it will take some time for you guys to BLOCKBUSTER the SWIFT network and hopefully western union as well.

I will keep Ripple on my buy list. I think it has a place in the ecosystem as we transition away from old money to smart money. I think being added to cold storage wallets signals to the community that something is afoot and a TV show like Dash! That might be cheap with a great PR return. Also, the immigrants should be made aware of what a ripple bank is? You should be able to send a ripple cards to your family members back home, maybe up to 10 cards tied to one account in a western nation. I should be able to split up 200 bucks across 10 family members instantaneously.

Ripple is the Illuminati/Archon gateway between the old banking cabal and the freaky new world of crypto.
Its very well done though, amazing system, compared to what is in use now.

But to claim its not under centralised control and "the world needs it" is a blatant lie.
So far, "they" sold out each and every rally, either "The Lab" or McCaleb.

I don't see why that would change in the foreseeable future.
Its just too nice a cow to milk, and the value of the token is totally unimportant to the institutional users.
The token isn't meant to be for payment, just for fees, so its in their best interest to keep it in a stable range.

I am really thinking about your words in the context of banking in the US in the 1800s. It was a time with many banks and currencies. Check out this podcast The Bank Wars . Ripple it seems, is meant to be for payments in the short term, but I am sure they would like to issue it to people in the future. They are a crypto banking cartel and would like to kill the other cartels in the old economy if they could I suspect. Once ripple reaches a critical mass in any region there is no longer a reason to allow other banks to join? They could issue liquidity in venezuela for example and by pass the whole diplomacy route. Also, as Fiat currencies and governments have lost the trust of the people they will need to be replaced. Cross border payments is just the gateway drug for ripple, I am sure they have much larger aspirations.

on 20/01/2017, 09:48:48 UTC
2017 is going to be the infrastructure and legal year! You have to look at in from two perspectives, both public and government 1, then try to imagine a scenario, that we can move as quickly and as painlessly as possible to a crash, FIAT reset, then a new global financial system. We need comms, roads, boats, rail, plumbing, etc 1st. This is where we are at!

  • In the bitcoin space, I see a continued fight between competing interests in the control of the future of bitcoin.  Namely SegWit, Unlimited, XT, and ByzCoin 2.  VISA handles 2K tx/sec on average and up to 56K tx/sec during peaks, so long term we are fucked unless the devs can figure this shit out while at the same time provocateurs are trying to kill it. That being said bitcoin is that basis for all our portfolios and should take off to the next level which should be around 10K per coin. When the client wars are over, we should see another level and that is the one all the early adopters like myself are hoping for, the retirement climb right in the middle of the chaos that will ensue as the world gives birth to a new economic order.
        
  • In the dApp space my bet is on Factom and Stratis in 2017 with Ethereum being the last to take off. Factom has first mover advantage and can solve problems. They will only be limited by the limited amount of developers that can actually implement their products. Stratis - will make it easier for large companies with in house teams to start to cut their teeth on their own apps. .Net and #C are huge and no one wants to read another book or learn another language and that very fact is why they will kick ass, developers are lazy. WINGS could rival etherium at some point, I think they might have a better talent pool from the Eastern Blocks and Russia? Only because the do not have a Silicon valley with the same caliber of developers. So that means their best and brightest are focused on the blockchain as a means of wealth creation for their region and the world. That would be like Google's software might being thrown behind crypto and nothing else? If they did that, you'd better watch out!
        
  • In the privacy space I am going with Dash and Komodo? Even though I own monero I like the Dash community much better, it's a tomato/tamato thing? Dash will be the first complete platform in that space and with their governance model, it will be stable without all the in-fighting at bitcoin. They just get shit done! Komodo has a fully decentralized solution and an entire ecosystem that can be one stop shopping. If you were a newbie and your first introduction was these guys, I see no reason in the future to every need anything else outside the SuperNet world that is powered by Komodo.

  • The EU, Asia, Middle East, Africa, Latin America will grab ahold to some ecosystem and/or make it their own. Asia for example has AntShares and NEM which have the technology to rival anything the west can create. They own bitcoin as well, but I do not see them using someone else's platform as the predominant one, their societies are too closed. AntShares may be owned by Jack Ma and NEM rivals bitcoin. I suspect asian bitcoin experts are going to grow their own and I think at this point AntShares and NEM are in the right position at least from the outsider's point of view. India, Africa, and Latin America may or may not make their own. Think about it this way. Maybe another way of looking at it is, Russia and China are the bricks essentially. So I think they are going to go their own way from the ground up, at some point, at least it seems that way?
        

At this point, I am very focused on infrastructure plays. The technology that makes other technology work. We have to build the software that will power the new financial order. My advice is is look for investments that get you in on the ground floor of infrastructure.

Did you try the Ledger in another PC (perhaps a windows PC) to see if it was detected to verify it isn't a hardware issue?

Does your system detect a device but can't recognize it or does it act like nothing is plugged in?

I just sent it back. Win 7 was a no go as well as Win 10. Then I read about others having a similar experience.
