Interesting story.  One of the cards had a almost stuck fan.  After I put it into the oil, the fan started to spin again.  First start and stop, then 100%.  Though the system reads the fans only spinning at 250RPM at 100%.  


To answer some of your questions:

I am using mineral oil.  Though around here the only mineral oil that I can get local is used as a farm animal laxative.  I can order it online, but the shipping kills me.  One Gallon jugs are already $15 each and this rig is using a 20 gallon tank, though only using 15 gallons.  There are videos of people using vegetable/cooking oil, but while its cheaper, you have to change out the oil after several months.  Mineral oil, if kept covered, should last years (tested by one company for over 5 years to date)

The setup was not that hard.  I was going on ideas and guesses.  I could have bought the kit from a company for $500 but it would only hold 3 dbl slot cards.  Since I was piecing it together there was a lot of error to get pieces right, but with experience I know what to expect now.

The idea of submerging it for me at least, is the advantage that you don't need to buy water blocks for your cards.  Each block can cost you 80-100 each, that is if you have a current video card.  Since most miners (imo) use older cards, harder to find water blocks.  

For me it was the fact that I could keep the computer in a "dirty" location, and not worry about the computer getting covered in dirt or bugs.  Plus keeping it in the garage takes care of any noise issues.  There is a night and day difference between air rig and oil rig with noise and possible heat, but there is also a 2x-4x cost difference between the air and oil.  So it comes down to need or desire.

Ill post of a video of air rig and oil rig after I get my triple Rad installed and get the oil rig running at 100%.  I think my issue is now that all the cards running 100% heats the oil up enough that it causes the USB controller on the motherboard to overheat and it reboots, but it hangs while initializing the USB controller.  The big downside to the oil rig, is it heats up everything.  So if one thing has a low threshold, then everything fails.  The rig would work on air, if I had a box fan blowing directly through it (not in the tank).  So I know it will work, just need enough cooling.

So expect some video this weekend.

Well, I made mention of it in another post so I guess I better officially post my pics and my explanation of the setup.

Been doing Bitcoin for almost a year now.  Started with one rig that is running with 4 5850s using box fan to keep system cooled.  Ive been using the spare bed room since its just a storage room for now.  Main advantage is that I can keep the room closed and keep the noise to a min.

Of course I wanted to expand to more rigs, but I did not want to overload the breaker for the room.  I don't have any other spare rooms, and I cant have a rig with a box fan in a usable room.  So I decided to make up a submersion rig.  Ive seen these for years on youtube and I always wanted to try it.  So this was my chance.  The advantage was that I could place the rig in the garage and since the system will be "sealed" I don't have to worry about dirt, bugs, mice, etc getting into the computer like if I used a traditional air cooled rig.

So after alot of digging and planning and errors I got it going.  It is not running at 100% yet, only cause I greatly underestimated the cooling needs with 4 video cards.  I do have a triple radiator on order with some high speed fans, so that should give me the cooling required to run the cards at full speed.










It runs very quiet.  Only sound you hear is the fans since the pump is submerged.

I hope I'm not late.

Never kept up with the new versions. Only used it once and while.  Guess didn't pay attention till i needed too.

I installed the new version on different drive.  It syned right up and had wallet data.  So everything is good.

Thanks.

I started up Bitcoin-qt last night to refresh the blocks and transfer some coins and while it was running I saw a message in the bottom left corner.

EXCEPTION: 11DbException
Db::put: Not enough space
F:\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe in ProcessMesage()

Its stalled on Block 252450

Now I have looked through here a little in the last 12 hours to find some ideas.

I attempted to detach database and then copied the whole thing to another drive and still no change.
I was able to transfer all but 1 coin of my balance (since it cant see past above block to see new coin) to another wallet address and changed the address to my minders till I get this resolved.  I did make another backup and have older backup but that is from several months ago.

I can assume that with the backups that my wallet address is safe, but what are the next steps that I need to take to resolve this.  I do not want to uninstall bitcoin-qt until I am sure that I wont lose anything or as a last resort step.

Could I just download a newer bitcoin-qt, install it on different drive and import one of the backups?  Would that get everything back on track other then the re-sync of the blocks?


Thanks in advance.

If using the windows based bitcoin-qt, where do I change that setting?

I assume its in a txt file but none that I can find that mention setting/setup/etc?

There is no setting in the program itsself.

I am using Bitcoin-Qt version 4.8.3 and I have it running on my computer 24/7.  Since I also run a proxy on my computer I have a network usage monitor on.

I was checking some usage today and I think I found something alarming.

Just in June alone, as of this posting I have used:
3.79 GB Download
57.64 GB Uploaded

almost 60 GIG uploaded??!!??  That has to be something wrong. 

What client can I use besides blockchain.info?

This is error I get when I run it.

Do you happen to know which Wheezy you are using?

There is Raspbian “wheezy” and Soft-float Debian “wheezy”.

Im assuming its the Raspbian Wheezy.

ill play with it later on today.  See if I can fight my way through it all.  Thanks confirming that it does work as intended.  Just linux stupid.

Interesting idea. 

Though the 8GB Nexus 7 is about 160-180 used, the PI may be cheaper, but it could be argued that the Nexus 7 would be more powerful.


It would be interesting to see if a Nexus 7 would work in that way.  It would make it very useful.  Though I would like to see if you could run multiple USB Rigs on a single Nexus 7.

Interesting idea, but I would still like to get the PI working as intended and see how it works for this purpose.

Afternoon,

I bought a Raspberry Pi for the purpose of install the Slush proxy for Stratum and to also run the BFL miners when they come in.  I know that I can use MinerPeon when the BFL miners come in, but I have been trying various different distros to get the proxy to work.

I have tried straight Linux destros, Tiny, and Raspberry Pi specific.  None seem to install correctly.  Now mind you my linux is limited to what I learned to use BAMT, but I would like to believe that I have tried it correctly.

If anyone else has tried to use a Raspberry Pi for this purpose I would like to hear from you and see if you can help me.  Or if your are good with various Linux or good with the Slush Proxy.

The intent is to have a nice small footprint system running everything.  I know in the future that I wont need the proxy since the GPU rings will be outdated in time, but I would still like to run them as long as they are profitable.

Any help would be apprciated.

Thanks

As stated in above responce,  java is running on computer

Well i guess what Ill have to do is

• Remake a new blockchain.info wallet.
• Use a unique PW vs any other site.
• Enable IP restriction so it can only be used at my home location

I would think that with those three, esp the IP restriction, at account creation, there should be no way a thief could access my account and view my private key.  Of course I have been wrong before.  Blockchain even states that the app will work, as long as its "synced" with account.  So that should be secure as well.  In my mind, that tells me that even if they got my password, they couldn't access my account due to IP restriction.

A:  I have several bitcoin apps.  Nothing new in last several months.  Blockchain, bitcoin calculator, miner status.
B:  I posted above the wallet that was used today.   Unsure of that was same one only cause I havent looked and compared at the moment.
C:  Same name on blockchain and bitcointalk
D:  I mine at bitcoin.cz (slush)
E:  Sadly same password, though it was a strong 10+ character using capital and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
F:   Do not read the BTC-e chat box (dont even know what it is)
G:  Java is enabled on this computer.

For myself this only started in the last 14 days.

4/13 was withdraw, but though it was from email hack. 
Wallet address was:  1Nr8BbTNTYutpdHKYzDJpAUcuo2wToL1C2
That only had 5.2 Coins removed from various accounts.

The one from today was over 500 coins in their attack, though my loss was only 1.


I have ordered a "rasberry pi" rig that I will be using as my solo bitcoin interface.  So that should take care of most issues.  Ill have to come up with unique passwords for rest of my bitcoin accounts.  Of course only fear is that with multiple passwords I will forget/lose them and writing them down defeats the purpose on some level.

I could go back to a two wallet system.  But if they get into my slush account or blockchain they could see the address (public not private).
