Thanks. Puh, it's hot in there. The temperature #1 is 32°C, #4 is 66°C.... I guess this also killed the PSU: It shouldn't get hotter than 40°C...

Yep, I just ordered two PSUs with 1200+. I guess I'll gonna keep them outside of the case just to prevent an overheating. Funny fact is: Although only two blades are powered, it shows me the temperature of all four blades. Is this normal?

I have two Lketc-miner running here, both supposed to deliver 1 Th/s. That's what they did in the beginning. "Beginning" means: For about a week. Then, the first of the two miners reduced the hashing speed to 500 Gh/s. It turned out that the PSU only deliveres juice on two channels, two are death.

Meanwhile, it is getting warmer outside. And all the sudden, the second of my miners also reduced its hashing power to 50 %. Again: The PSU stopped delivering juice on two ports.

Reactions from Lketc: Nothing. Nada. "Nancy" seems to have disappeared (well, I maybe should try to buy another one, I'm sure she would pop up...).

So this leaves me with additional costs of +400 US$ for two PSU and the feeling, that these miners may not be worth all the money.

We have 20°C outside, and I'm afraid things may get worse once it is getting hot...

Maybe a stupid question: Are there any rules regarding refunds (I mean beside that one has to have ordered/paid Neptunes)? I couldn't find any in my communication with KNC nor on the homepage.

You're basically right. But hasn't it also got to do with idealism and the believe that people who share your ideas probably also will support you?

+1000

(And once I paid back the persons who lent me money for buying the first miners, I can think about paying others.)

I'm not donating, I confess. But this will change once more miners have been deliverd to me and when my hashrate is higher than 10 TH/s (which will be in two weeks).

During the last months, I have tried several pools. When I started, I was with ghash. They leave you with the impression that you make a lot of money by paying out constantly. However, ghash is today a no-go. The guild looked nice. But eligius is in my opinion the one with the most transparency. And the fact that it is constantly under ddos tells me that some competitors may be shitting their pants because of this. Or another reason - who knows.

Another company in China just offered me the Lketc-miner for 2700 US$. Given the fact that they did not have to invest any $ into developement, even this price is still too high.

You are right. Forgot that some Swiss are reading this *SCNR* - too :-p

In seven years, two months and three days, we all will be swamped with NMC. WE WILL BE RICH!

Really? Oh my gosh! Wow! Incredible! I guess it comes to the place where your ASIC-miners are, right? It's called lala-land.

Thanks for the clarification. And thank you for being such a polite member of the society. Btw: Not everybody in this board is speaking English, so pardon that I didn't understand the difference between the terms. Aber ich kann Dich auch Vollpfosten nennen. Je peux t'appeler une piece de merde. Ti chiamo stupido. Ich chann Dir au Dubbel säge.
So, now I feel better :-)

I see a miner on their homepage selling for 3900. So where exactly - other than the closed group-buy - do you see this miner for 2200?

Two of them working here. One is constantly mining with about 950, the other one was mining with 1 Th/s for about four days, since then not more than 550 Gh....

First: I love Eligius. I appreciate the work wizkid is doing, and until recently, I never had a problem. However, since a couple of days, my two Dragons aren't behaving well on Eligius. The Ants do their work like little Ants should. But the Dragons dropped from 1+ Th/s to 800 Gh/s. Changing the difficulty, playing around with the switch, changing cables - nothing changed anything. Out of curiosity, I switched the Dragons and two Ants which were working with a very constant hash rate to another pool. At this other pool, the Ants showed the same rate as with Eligius, but the Dragons both showed again 1+ Th/s.

So I really don't know if this is a stats-problem due to the ddos - which I doubt - or if there is something else going on.

Hi all,

I have a couple of miners running in my office. There are six Antminers and one Scrypt-miner in one room. When I tried to switch on Antminer #7, the fuse got killed. Okay, so I put #7 in another room and two Dragon-miners too. The two Dragons were on the same power line and worked constantly with about 1.1 to 1.2 TH/s. Then the fuse got killed again, it turned out that the two machines were too much for one cable, i.e. I was close to burning my office down.

So I put the two machines on different cables and restarted them. Both were first showing nothing which would indicate that anything's wrong. But after about three hours, the hashrate of one of the miners started to drop constantly. Currently, it is down on 869.84 Gh/s, recovering from a low of 718 Gh/s.

Beside the fact that it is on a different power line, it is now also on another switch. However, I don't think that the switch can be the reason, for an Ant which is on the same switch works perfectly.

So I try now to figure out where the error is (okay, I know: Normally between chair and keyboard - but luckily, the miner hasn't got a keyboard...). What would more experienced and tech-savvy people first do to encircle the error?

Every hint is appreciated...

When's the funeral? Picture of it, please.

No, honestly, sorry to hear this. But I also would be interested in your solution regarding solar power...

Madame Pool-Luck is bitching around :-) But once she had her medication, she'll be back. We all now her, so don't worry.

Good to know, so I'll watch out on the site of the manufacturer....
