Does CKPool have a Discord?  I spend more time there than here.  Thanks!
Sadly no. I had one for a while but no one ever said anything so I took it down. I have too many communication media to keep track of as it is so I'm not inclined to restart it.

No worries, I get it - just started following you on twitter - good information posted on your page.

I downloaded CrazyGuy's custom Antrouter R1-BTC software to be able to use my Antrouter on this solo pool.  However, I am not getting any accepted shares.  Any idea what could be wrong?
If your hashrate is ridiculously low, the pool won't report anything for ages. Don't try to mine diamonds with toothpicks, folks.

Got it, thanks for replying.

I've sold out of R1's, and as promised, I am releasing my customized firmware to the community. Please note that although I refer to this package as custom firmware, it is really just a patch file. If you reset your R1 to factory defaults, you will lose the customizations. In which case, you would just need to re-apply the patch.

Changelog for release 0.95:
- Opened up port 4029 for API access to cgminer-u3 instance
- Max frequency for U3 increased to 250M
- Max fequency for R1 increased to 250M (I have not personally tested freq past 125. Use at your own risk!)


Firmware Enhancements
- U3 zombie handling(Scripted auto-cgminer restarts and R1 reboot if necessary)
- Supports modifying R1 pools from UI, without losing the ability to use Bitmain's solo pool for R1.
- Detailed R1 stats page, including pool statistics
- Supports modifying R1 freq and voltage from UI
- U3 freq selection increased to 250M
- Cgminer-U3 API open for monitoring with 3rd party tools

WARNING: These customizations provide the ability to push your R1 beyond its intended limits. Because of this, it will likely void your warranty with Bitmain. Additionally, I provide this patch with no official support, and take no responsibility for any damage done to your R1 device or its surroundings. Use at your own risk! By downloading and applying this patch, the user is accepting these conditions.

Download Below
R1CGCustomFW_0.95_2015-12-28.tar.gz

Upgrade instructions
To upgrade your firmware, go to "Backup / Flash Firmware" under the "System" tab
- Click on the "Chose File" button to the right of "Restore Backup:" (NOTE: Do not mistake this with the "Chose File" button under Flash new firmware. - This is not a full binary firmware file)
- Choose "R1CGCustomFW_0.95_2015-12-28.tar.gz" from your PC and then click on the "Upload archive" button.

Your antrouter system will reboot and come back up with updated firmware!

Got this up and running on my Antrouter R1 - works like a charm - thank you!

I would put that thing on something like a zpool and let it mine any SHA-256 coin and get paid in your coin of choice.

It is kind of sad when this platform called survivalbet.online is going to shutdown when the problem is not solved. They only have 1 month to find a solution to make their platform up and running and if not the site will shutdown. I'm gonna miss playing this kind of game though It did not survive very long.

Agreed.  Very innovative, just couldnt make money.  If you find something else similar, send me a message.  Smiley

Hello,

The page is no longer showing stats.  Maybe due to the server updates that were recently done?  Just wanted to let you know.  I use the site often.  Thanks.

Thanks for posting. Do you mean stats from ckpool? I just checked using manual entry and it worked.

Edit: Just checked someones address and it appears so. Will look into the update and see if I can fix it.

Appreciate it.  I have your page open all the time in a tab - great resource!

HAHA well then nevermind.  They are actually a combination of 2 - 50 watt and 1 - 100 watt renogy panels.  Had them for a few years.  I think I purchased them on Amazon.  I tinkered around with it a bit but solar is so limited for a hobbyist - unless I want to charge my cell phone or run an LED light.

Amazing story - I had no idea this was a thing, let alone widespread.

I have a very small solar setup, 300 watts of panels and a deep cycle battery.  I keep it charged up for emergency use and for a hobby.  Gonna try to put one of those S9 space heaters on one and see what it does.  Probably need to put a few more panels on that thing.  But something to try.

People have asked me how long the miner who solved the block has been mining for.  I don't know exactly since their hashrate may have fluctuated over that time. However, assuming they always mined to the same address, they currently have 2486021304645 shares. Dividing that by the current difficulty of 13732352106018.34 that means he found the block at about 18% diff, so in less than 1/5th of the expected time for the current diff.  If they've been mining with a stable 70TH all along, they've been mining for a very long time here.

It was not always 70 Th) sometimes there was a rental of about 1PH.

Congratulations on the find!

If your intent is to win a blockfind "lottery" you're likely fine.

Pretty much, just playing with them at the moment. Had all sorts of internet problems, non related, that's put me off. Basically ran a hard cable now into the garage and I'm up and running again.

Just be mindful of electricity costs vs. chance of finding a block.  S9's suck up quite a bit of electricity.  Good luck!

I am by no means a hardcore prepper.  But I learned my lesson during the April 2011 tornado outbreak.  We were without power for 9 days.  Since then, I ensure we have plenty of the following on hand:

Non-Perishable Food
Paper Products
Water
Batteries
Gasoline

We are a family of 4 and stock up at Sam's Club.  We havent had to buy toilet paper since COVID-19 happened.  We just grab a pack ever other trip or so.  I get batteries at Harbor Freight whenever I am out using a coupon.  For water we buy the gallons and store it in an extra room.  Gasoline is stored in the shed and I put the date when I fill and use Sta-Bil.

Okay I got paid  I am running 1 unit over night for

vickersja

will run second for him tommorow.

I will ship him two  2 board miners and 2 psu's on Tuesday via fedex I think.  I like to use fedex the clerk is hot. Wink

I have three 2 board miner's left  
you can go as low as 280-290 watts
as high as 500 watts for these miners

If you are in USA and want a psu let me know.

they are about 70 plus shipping  without psu.
they are about 90 plus shipping with psu.



3 miners as heaters left.
only 2 psu's

FedEx should make that a commercial.  Wink

I wanted to give others the chance to purchase, but if there are no other takers, consider them sold!

Thanks!  Just sent a PM.  Ill take 2 with the PSU's

Can you share the voltage and proper settings for the best/max with the quiet fans?  I think you mentioned customizable voltage in a previous post.

Yes I will set it all up and test run it over the weekend then ship on Tuesday. due to holidays.

 Please send me btc

200 usd worth to

https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/address/146UJM5kgzLVUV23CXCf33KQKHckoX1gx3



146UJM5kgzLVUV23CXCf33KQKHckoX1gx3


Send me a pm.  and give me a btc addy to mine to on solo.ckpool

I will get this set up asap

please send me payment details and give me the btc addy to mine to>

If it hits it would be cool.

I will show the screen shots of the 2 units test running.

THIS unit below would be yours.

volts are        8.05
freq is           300
fans set to 60%  that gives a steady 1860 to 1960 rpm
watt meter says  360 watts

hash rate =  4.273

360/4.273 = 84.24 watts a th   but it will flux.  since hash rate drops to 4th and jumps to 4.5th  as hashrate does flux so you can run from 79 to 87 watts a th at this setting.





Awesome Thanks!  Sent via PM.  Looking forward to them.

no idea what i'm doing.    I just signed up.   I have some lumber, a bottle of water, some lemonade and a pitcher of water.   

does this mean I win?   Cool

no clue..  but I'm intrigued.   

HAHA.  Not quite, but that pitcher of water will help you survive, so you are well on your way.  The goal is to survive.  You do that by securing food and water through bets or map locations.  Daily bets increase with every level and you get paid in DOGE, SIN, or XLM daily after surviving for 3 days.

Chat is great too - good group of people playing the game.  Ask away and we will help out.
