WOOF COIN

Since the beginning of the pandemic, pet surrendering rates have increased dramatically around the world. Waitlists for surrendering household pets have increased to a remarkable eight months as animal shelters and welfare organisations have seen an increase of 34% for animals needing help.

Typically, animal shelters are under resourced and under financed; relying heavily on donations and the volunteer efforts to assist animals.

This is where Woof Coin steps in. As avid lovers of dogs, we wanted to make a difference. Using the power of Proof of Work mining, we’ve created a coin where miners are contributing to the donation of money to animal welfare shelters. These shelters initially include the ASPCA who already have a cryptocurrency donation mechanism but with intention to expand to the RSPCA and other organizations suggested by the community. 

Our aim is to put animals first and we intend on developing ongoing relationships with pet shelters to help adoption.

I have successfully gotten it working on a second machine, again it is Internet Explorer.
I cannot get the site to load anything on Chrome or Firefox, on multiple machines.

This should be your problem, for me the site works very well, I tried in firefox. IE and Chrome and works without problems.

Umm, what should be my problem?
I've tried on multiple computers, multiple networks, and multiple browsers, and I can only get in on IE occasionally.
Firefox, and Chrome are not working on any computer, on any network for me.
I'm desperate for help here.

I love CryptoTrader, but I don't want all my eggs in one basket. And currently I'm having issues even logging into the site.
Any other options out there that people have tried ?


I am a newbie in here and in cryptocurrency and in fact this is my first time to hear about CryptoTrader...I inspected the site and I am amazed of what it can offer. So how's your experience with CryptoTrader so far?


Last week, I would have said it awesome, but you have to find a good bot on the site.
Today I can't login.
However, I really think the login issues are a very temporary issue. I would not judge them on this, given I dont know the cause yet. Still not sure if its their system, my account, but I have tried multiple computers, multiple locations, and browsers.

Is anyone else having issues logging in to Cryptotrader.org ?
Since this past weekend I have been having some serious issues.

I cannot login to the site.
I get a blank page with the logo in the tab if I don't put www in front of the name.
When I put www in front of the name, I get the page, but after login, it just spins, and the login prompt never goes away.
I have tried this on multiple browsers (also ctrl-F5), and MULTIPLE computers (work, library, home, friends), all the same result except for one (my home server).
Chrome and Firefox do not work on my home server but IE does. I'm terrified, that if I logout, I will not be able to access the site.

Attempting to run my Antminer S3 with an EVGA Supernova NEX750B. Its modular. PSU won't stay on.
PSU tester used: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5H61PS5714



I may have found a solution, for my situation at least.
If I plug all 4 12V+ rails of the supernova into the Antminer, the psu tester WORKS.  *been on for 2 hours now *crosses fingers**
Since I was never planning on using the supernova on more than one antminer, my issue is resolved (as long as it stays on).

However, if someone else wanted to use the supernova to power more than one antminer, I'm not sure how they would do it with this PSU.
Or if they wanted to power an S1, it would not work for that either.

Have you used tester on another PSU to see what it does?  I have not used a tester to short it would make sense if after a certain amount of time it does power off.

Are you sure you are making contact to both pins when shorting?  First check spot as it could be bad if not in correct holes.  But if you make contact it should be the same as if a switch is used.   

Yea, that was my original thought until I tried one of my Corsair psu's with it, and it worked perfectly. The Corsair PSU in my original post is running with another identical PSU tester.

Tester's are a standard for shorting PSU's to use with miner's. You can see them in a lot of the pictures of big farms. Mainly cause you can get them for 2-3 bucks. If a psu tester turned off after a short amount of time it would defeat the purpose of the psu tester. It would also require more logic, and therefore more cost, and therefore a smaller fiscal bottom line.

PSU tester used: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5H61PS5714

When Supernova is not connected to Antminer  (2 of the 4)
- psu tester WORKs when MB cable is plugged into tester. *was on for an hour before I turned it off*

When Supernova is connected to the Antminer (2 of the 4) AND Corsair is connected to same Antminer (2 of the 4)
- psu tester WORKS when MB cable is plugged into tester.

When Supernova is connected to Antminer  (2 of the 4)
- Green pin to ground doesnt work. **Miner powers on, hits 440 hasrate, PSU cuts out, rough time on ~30secs - 1 min**
- psu tester doesn't work when MB cable is plugged into tester. **Miner powers on, hits 440 hasrate, PSU cuts out, rough time on ~30secs - 1 min**
- psu tester doesn't work when MB cable, & cpu cable is plugged into tester. **Miner powers on, hits 440 hasrate, PSU cuts out, rough time on ~30secs - 1 min**
- psu tester doesn't work when MB cable, cpu cable, & sata cable is plugged into tester. **Miner powers on, hits 440 hasrate, PSU cuts out, rough time on ~30secs - 1 min**
- psu tester doesn't work when MB cable, cpu cable, 5V fan/hdd power cable, & sata cable is plugged into tester. **PSU starts, then immediately cuts out, on for maybe 2 secs**
- Just bought Bitmain Antminer Jumper Switch and will test with that

Outside of using the Antminer Jumper switch as I'm already *going* to do that, any suggestions?

** EDIT **
plugging all 4 12V rails into the Antminer, WORKS with the psu tester. (been on for 2 hours so far *crosses fingers*)

AllCoinMiner's Power Supply Sizing Guide

This will guide you through the process of sizing a correct power supply as per the requirement of your device.
Here we will take Antminer S3 as a reference device but this is applicable for any DC device.
A little bit of over sizing or margin is considered in the sizing for safety or regulatory reasons.

Step 01: Note down the maximum rated power consumption from the dc device or mining hardware. In the case of Antminer S3 it 340Watts.

Step 02: Add a safety margin of 20% to 25% in to the maximum power consumption. So 340W will become 425W.

Step 03: Now coming to the power supply, you need 425W from it. Do not rush to a power supply that just gives 425W.
             First you should go to its specifications and look for +12V Rails.
             Normally power supplies have a single +12V rails but some have upto 6 +12V Rails.
             So, look at a single +12V rails and check how much power it gives.
             Come manufacturers specify it in Amps an some in Watts.
             So if its specified as Watts make sure its above 425W.
             If its specified in Amps its should be rated at 35A in a single +12 rail. This 35A is we got by 425W/12V.

Step 04: Since we are running the hardware 24hrs every day, the efficiency of the power supply matters.
             I will not recommend going for a power supply which rated for below 80% efficiency.
             So select one giving at least 80% to 85% or above efficiency. The calculations are same for all.

Step 05: Now we got a psu for running a single S3. If you want to connect more than one DC Device, just add all the devices power consumption and do the Step 03.
             Even though Single +12V Rails is recommended, if your power supply have two +12V rails you can run two devices if each +12 rail is giving what is
             enough for the single device.


Hmmmm I think you might be going at this the wrong way as far as a guide is concerned. Most of the newbies that post here for power supply questions want to know the exact make/model of power supply they need for the quantity of miners they are buying.  You might want to develop a table (although I could swear someone already did it, maybe Dogie?) for it with the number of miners that single power supply can support based on actual use and not theory. So, if someone buys 5 antminer S3's, the table should tell them which model of power supply they need and what quantity based on the highest efficiency and most "bang for the buck" as it were.  A bonus would be how many power supplies the casual home miner can run before popping his 15A/20A/30A breaker.







No I have no intention to do that.
I love to teach how to caught a fish rather than giving them fish.

I agree completely with this, especially because dogie already did that. This guide very clearly spells out how to calculate all these things in one concise place. If they want the chart that cloverme suggests, they can just go to dogie's guide.

The two black lines in the 4 lines is COM, the yellow is +12VDC(pin 1) and the red is +5VDC.
There is no problem in using them as your second PCI power cable to S3 blades.
The double PCI power connectors on a single PCI cable will not serve the purpose.
For this CX500 power supply connect the PCI power cable(6+2) to each blade.
And if you want to connect all the four PCI power ports, use 2 molex to pci to connect one each blade as secondary.

Using molex as pci-e cables is a great way to get melted wires.

Also I don't think there is anything wrong with buying a PSU without an extra 25% safety margin.

Take a second look, Its auxiliary for the second. I wonder whats wrong with it.
My Sapphire GPUs even came with this kind of molex->PCI-E for the second power slot.
I'm using it since last 4 months for ASICs and earlier for GPUs. They will not even get hot.
Wonder how to add extra safety margin by buying a new PSU.
No PSU will give enough PCI Slots enough to connect 4 ports of S3.

EVGA Supernova says hi.

Also, not disagreeing or agreeing with you, but just because there is a cable available doesn't mean the cable should be used. Only reason I mention this, is because you seem to be implying it, and I don't think you mean that.

Two PCI-E(6+2 Pin) Power Cables.

This is a very detailed guide, that is very awesome. Seriously I'm impressed.

However, under your own recommended power supply, there are only TWO PCIE cables. So you apparently you disagree with EVERYONE on the overclocking thread the you need 4 pcie cables to power the S3.

This is the issue we keep harping on, not the power draw, not the 12V rails, its the wires. Everyone says you need 4, then everyone suggests you buy a power supply with 2. I fully expect that I'm missing something here, but so far, people just keep acting like they don't understand why I'm not getting this. But when you tell me I need 4, then you give me 2, I'm going to ask questions.

These days I always recommend using 4 cables for S3 even if not overclocking.
But if we go for a PSUs considering the PCI power connector cable numbers, there is no meaning in it.
In the above suggested power supply as already said there are only 2 PCI-E(6+2) power cables.
So you can plug them into your S3. Additionally for the other two cables you can easily buy,
two Molex->PCI connector cable from ebay or other sites for less than a dollar.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-10-Dual-4-Pin-Molex-to-6-Pin-PCI-Express-PCI-E-Video-Card-Power-Cable-ca4-/251594807495?pt=US_Power_Cables_Connectors&hash=item3a943818c7

Going with the molex to pcie idea, I was under the impression that would pull from the +5V@20A, NOT the +12V@38A. I was also under the impression we had to pull from the +12V rail? Putting these together would imply to me it's a bad idea to use the molex to pcie idea?

This does make a lot of sense though, and does deal with the incongruencey I was dealing with. I was under the impression that you can't do the molex idea, but it at least explains the needing 4 wires, and being handed 2 wires, so thank you.

Other people have been saying two pcie connectors on one pcie cable is the same as two pcie cables, which makes no sense to me. If you are going to plug in two pcie connectors per blade from one pcie cable, you might as well plug in one pcie connector per blade.

THIS WAS NOT FROM OCing
THIS WAS NOT FROM OCing
THIS WAS NOT FROM OCing
THIS WAS NOT FROM OCing, THE MINER CAME THIS WAY

Holy crapt people, I am really sorry I didn't see this sooner, one person suggests a cause for this, and everyone jumps on the band wagon lol.

I open up all new computers before I turn them on in my house as a matter of principal. I opened this miner, and saw this. Naturally after seeing this, I did not plug it in. No idea what will happen.



Seems like you overclocked the miner. right? or you applied a non standard DC input?
A change of that capacitor will fix your issue. Those resistors are damaged of not?
If overclocking did that, I'm not sure I want to try and OC mine now. I am one of a lucky few that got four miners that work stable at 440Gh/s on sock freq 218.75.

With this hardware, overclocking id risky.
But the question at hand is did you OC and get that damage from it and if so, what freq was it on and what did you jump to from it ?

There's been plenty of people OC here and none I have seen reported these kinds of issues.

To booradlly
No I didn't do an overclock. But your symptoms as per the images force me to think like that.
I used to overclock my gpus long back and got into this kind of isues.
I usually get this kind of a thing when voltage of the chip(s) increased.
Looks a lot like a capacitor blew after a power surge from something like nearby lightning, its almost identical to what the PCB on my LG monitor looked like after lightning struck the parking lot across the highway from my office.

Are you guys using high joules surge protectors for your miners?
If not, you are risking the same as shown (boards blown). There are plenty of thunderstorms in the summer in my area, so I stocked up at the Microcenter on a few of surge protectors.

30A circuits limit your PSU at 3x 1200W (7..8A - 1500W each at the wall) power supplies per circuit in continuous load. I'd rather go with multiple receptacles of 20A (good enough for 2 power supplies each), and not using those expensive PDUs.

Overall is cheaper.

Just to be clear, when you refer to a cheaper 20A receptacle vs a more expensive 30A receptacle, you are referring to a 20A 120V receptacle vs a 30A 240V receptacle right? I just want to be sure, because there are 20A 240V receptacles also.
