hey ... Anyone wants to buy/transfer a Gunbot Ultimate license ? msg me

I am leaning towards this hack being an inside job.

Why?? well, leading up to the hack, scrypt hashrate was and still is exploding, rather than upgrade equipment and capacity they simply "upgraded" the minimum share difficulty. As they approached max capacity again with BTC price exploding and NH wallet full, the simplest solution for them, rather than deal with the hassles of hardware upgrades, troubleshooting, downtimes, complaints etc was to just pull the plug by feigning a hack and then walk away.

Just a theory , I personally hope they start back up.  Maybe they'll use the downtime to upgrade and reopen, hurray, if not ... see prior paragraph. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out

I went with Trezor because didn't neet to enter seed in 3rd party unknown questionable wallet to claim BCH, however you'll need a Trezor -- once it's converted it's just like any other coin in the wallet so I guess it's ok. I am a new Trezor  user, before that I was using KeepKey(still using it too)

I just claimed my Bcash using trezor beta wallet. It was a smooth and painless process, nice job guys

here's all the info you need from the developer of electrum:

the seed for BCC is the same seed for BTC, reveal that seed to claim your BCC and you may lose your BTC too

here's some good info on how to protect yourself and why Electron Cash could be a scam(from the developer of electrum):

the author of electrum reviewed the code changes and he seems pretty skeptical, IMO it is likely a scam to steal seed for BTC wallets

not to mention magisteryolo has only 1 post

imo a lot of people going to lose their BTC trying to cash in their bitcoin cash --- we'll be reading the sad stories soon enough, gonna be a bunch

nice job, but I think maybe we need to get you working on some newer tech

try "i2cdump -y CHANNEL 0x10-0x17 -undo"

seriously though, unplug it, leave it sit for a day or 2 then try again  -- silly Titans, this actually works quite often

Like I said someone going to overclock them 10-20%, I'd just go with one per each psu

main reason I didn't go with it is I run the rear fan at 100% off the psu and can't do that with these bitmain psu's that I am aware of

If you haven't noticed the L3+ fan controller is buggy. I happened to catch them overheating while both fan rpms showing zero, sure they reset but they reset into the same buggy state -- over & over until the board burns up -- saw it happen a couple times, once on auto fan control another  time on 75% -- so you can have your cheap bitmain psu's feeding their buggy bitmain fan controller.

oh by time the board actually shuts down & resets the temp is actually over 120c, so  the 80c cutoff doesn't do much, it's not an instantaneous shut down and it's not a failsafe

a few of those cycles and your board will be shot

exactly my thoughts, seems kind of sketchy running a cheap foreign made PSU at 100% or more -- I wouldn't do it

How long before some dummy overclocks them and starts drawing more than 1600w.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster

I don't like the new site either, change for the sake of change is just annoying -- gotta waste time learning it all over

On the positive side, I don't spend much time on NH and don't plan to start, so it's not much of an issue

website colors are uglee, orange? omg, hard on the eyes -- maybe that's their way of keeping page hits down, first remove the auto refresh button, now this

trollbox scrolled so fast you couldn't even read it most of the time -- maybe they are working to upgrade it & make it more functional, something similar to how BTCe did by limiting access in some fashion during peak periods, or maybe they tried that already -- I didn't use it much just popped in every now and then & got the impression it was way overloaded, ie unmanageable

I sorta do that too, each month in realtime  I track all my LTC block solving shares even if I'm not mining LTC. Then if I get a long dry spell sometimes I'll jump in and start solo mining. Time before last I found a real block in 18 minutes. The last time I tried it I gave up after about an hour, then found a theoretical block an hour later. I know it's all luck but you have to feel lucky to even try it imo, or it's just a pain in the neck. Not sure how theoretical blocks correlate to actually finding an LTC block. If I had been mining LTC would I have submitted that same block solving share?? .. probably(maybe) not .. It's just a reference point to start solo if I feel lucky (or bored).

if you try solo mining you'll find that you hardly ever get "average" results. It'll be either really good results(like you're getting now) or really bad.

It's like the weather, temps are usually either  above or below normal.

An average is by definition just an average of the extremes, you hardly ever see it in real life

That's why you have miners chasing "lucky" pools when they are finding blocks, then looking for another when the "luck" turns bad

no need to speculate:
Update (2017-05-22): Thanks to the recent changes in relative market prices, we've been able to increase the PPS ratio to 108%

basically the same reason it was lowered to 102% earlier

yeah, typical residential wiring isn't built for 24/7 pedal to the metal heavy continuous electrical loads -- one rule of thumb I use: if any connection, like a receptacle, is warm to the touch then it needs to be monitored closely. If it is hot then failure is imminent and it needs to be fixed immediately -- especially in a residential environment. Also need smoke detectors and fire extinguisher for electronics like CO2. Those cheap disposable extinguishers might put the fire out, but may ruin your electronics, and make a huge mess

An ammeter to check actual amp draw on your mining circuits in the breaker panel  and laser temp gun can help make things easier to monitor

under continuous load a 200Amp breaker should trip around 160Amp (80%)

 It's made to handle temporary surges to 200A but continuous load above 160Amp will eventually trip,  from the buildup of heat

I got real lucky there yesterday, found a block in 18 min, then left.
