I haven't afforded the ability to hold though the years there again there is just so much rug pulling going on right now don't really trust much if any of it, I hold sugarchain - interesting to watch the network and make comparisons over the last few years.

Coin is not dead. Monitoring the network there's been a-lot of interest, lots of ebbs and flows over the last few years. There has been some fairly high level serious interest in this project and I think this is corporate interest. 

Coin is forked from bitcoin v16 so considering bitcoin is now over $100,000, the code base looks stable.

There's been a few updates to BTC from v16 obviously the most important of which I've been trying to codify https://github.com/jdawg24/umami-dragonfruit. Though I'm not a project team member and i'm unlikely unable to grok the algo on my own, in any case I'd be worried about putting out another release off my own back with project team support and i don't currently have access to required server estate to launch a pool.

Since it is a community project it's hard to break into the mainstream exchanges which demand payments of around $1,000,000 for a coin listing, this is similar to BSV community getting ripped off over at major exchanges in a recent lawsuit.  https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2025/661.html

I am very hopeful for this project since it enables access to a market with relatively little hardware overhead and holds a lot of hope for economically developing countries as such it represents satoshi's true tenets.

On dual socket intel E5 2600's v2/3's quad channel ramps performance up 1 - 1.5kh/s i.e. from 2200h/s to around 3500-4000h/s, I haven't yet configured the v4s on the right frequency i.e. my ram is a bit mixed up so not seeing much performance from those just yet.

I've got 8 Xeons and tinkering with Xeon Phi's for this one, sugarmaker looks like it might work on KNC/KNL co processors

I suppose there are sides to being a good seller although responsibility for unit / user malfunction cannot entirely be a fault of the seller. I think cooling in gaming style cases has improved leaps and bounds over the last decade... the power supply is a third party addition, utilising the pcie blanks for spacing with  some kind of custom cradle for a tek-fix to the case / chassis would possibly work? Those custom milled heat sinks could be turned down a notch and hey presto -- a scalable blade based system  --- you could prohibit user malfunction with the heat sinks.

I'm genuinely surprised that the network hashrate is even viewable, it's gotta be a given that the public pool fee rates are disproportionately applied, i mean i reckon at least half the visible pools are using their own mining rigs.

I gather this means Gekko Science has embargos against various corporations. 

I'd definitely be considering a few. Been tinkering with an R606 I purchased from bitshopper, its pretty deadly. I tried it on my old slush account, not making much returns there; however, to be expected. So I've put the unit on at http://pool-btc.ga mining solo BVG, its smashes those blocks like an absolute beast, some really clever gadgetry going on, hardware was always my issue back in the day, the S3's I was running were bought second hand, so the r606 coupled with a lower difficulty coin - I've never seen anything like it.

I've been deploying some mining contracts through http://miningrigrentals.com, and the r606 (solo-http://pool-btc.ga) is outmatching an S9 (prop) http://persianmine.net, though this may be due to the difficulty settings used by the pools on the coins I am targeting (mainly BVG).

I like the r606 form factor, although for a stack something like those FPGA cards in a ATX / mini-ATX case would look pretty good, if cooling wasn't an issue.

I would suggest that keeping the Rpi away from the assembly would be a good idea at least for offering a scalable product, I think issues experienced by R606 users may be associated with RAM, the headless Rpi 4 is running at least one r606 very well, i don't really know enough about what each component in that configuration is doing, but an FPGA style offering to be paired with a proliant system would probably spark alot of interest from bigger commercial contractors.

From the RnD off this device i've bitten the bullet and building a cryptopool at http://moonpool.io

Keep us posted !
