Ok all OS is installed and I am now plotting the first drive. I can feel the power lol I'm already plotting twice as fast as my poor laptop.
-
Hey everyone just another update, I now have the miner built and operational, I have started the process of plotting 48TB so please give me some time to get it 100% up and running.
-
Good job with the frequent updates. That's exactly the way to do things man, great work.
-
@crowetic thank you, I told you from day one that I meant well, just glad to know I'm proving it
-
Hey all just paid this week's dividend, while it seemed slightly light don't worry, we have over 1100 Burst queued to be paid from the pool, it was just getting late and I didn't want any investors to have to wait longer for no good reason so obviously when that 1100 from mining gets paid to the asset account it will be added to next week's dividend
-
Another rig update:
We are plotting at an average rate of 8TB every 39 hours.
-
As surprising as this is there are only 54 unique investors in my asset. With this being said I am seeing 3-6 new investors every week, let's try and step up distribution everyone!!! Tell your friends about this asset while there are cheap sells posted on the AE.
The more investors we get the more the asset can grow and we all profit.

So the new CPU has been Overclocked from 3.4Ghz to 3.8Ghz and is plotting at 22,000 nonces/min. When it finishes plotting the 8TB HDD it is currently plotting I will be further overclock the CPU to 4.0Ghz. The CPU is stable and temps are far below max at 3.8Ghz and I am confident that the CPU can handle 4.0Ghz. after the Overclock adjustment I will report on how big of a plot speed boost we receive.
NOTE: Cooling is NOT an issue as the CPU has one of the most efficient Air cooling systems (Cooler Master Hyper T4) with high performance thermal compound (Artic Silver 5) and the case has another 8 built in fans

Trust me everyone, I did not buy cheap or substandard components for our flagship mining machine.
-
Hubris got the best of me last night. I figured with our shiny new miner I could just go ahead and plot each 8TB HDD in one plot and the plotter was at 87% complete when I went to bed. Well automatic update fucked me and restarted the computer sometime between 87% and 99% and ruined the plot!!!! Anyway I have restarted the plotting, but this time in 2TB chunks
-
@socal Had same thing 2 months ago^^ Automatic updates are so annoying :P
-
You can disable them in services, or if you are using wireless you can tell windows you're on a metered connection. They don't download and install automatically if you do either of these steps. These updates were a nuisance before I did this.
-
Well everyone good news / bad news time:
Bad News: the 2TB Toshiba external HDD has gone out. I am going to tinker with it and see if it's recoverable or if it's DOA, either way for now we are down 1.5TB or so of mining capacity
Good News: I have the first 4TB of the first new HDD plotted and mining with another 2TB coming online late tonight.
Mining Capacities:
Current Capacity - 22.5TB
Max Capacity - 68TB
Unplotted Capacity - 44TB
Inactive Capacity - 2TB
-
Ok all another Update:
I now have one of the 8TB HDDs plotted and working on the second one now.
The 2TB external drive was recoverable but it's going to fail sooner rather​ than later so just be expecting a full failure from the 2TB.
-
Another update:
First New HDD has been plotted, second drive is halfway done. Four more drives to go!!!!
-
Update:
Today we are gathered not in sorrow but in celebration for the short but spectacular life of ASROCK x370 Taichi. ASROCK was the youngest of a large and old family of Noble motherboards, but his star definitely burned brightest.
ASROCK leaves behind a Ryzen 7 1700X CPU, two 8GB 3200MHz DDR4 RAM sticks, and over 68TB of HDDs.
His remains will be committed to the great RMA in the sky, Newegg.com
While no official cause of death has been given, cryptoforensic investigators believe cause of death to be suicide by shorting.
-
@socal You really are poetic sir, rest in piece ASROCK Motherboard !
-
Addendum:
Yes the mining rigs motherboard freaking friend today no idea how or why I shut down the computer and unplugged the PSU then installed the other two HDDs in the rig and plugged the PSU back in and now the damn thing won't turn on. After three hours of troubleshooting the best I can figure is that unplugging or plugging in the PSU somehow caused a short in the motherboard and I will be RMA'ing the MoBo tomorrow.
Because all is NOT for naught, we still have the 20TB of external HDDs that have been moved back over to my laptop and are mining away.
-
Hey all, dividends have been paid today hope you all enjoy.
Still doing the RMA process for the big miner MoBo it's going to take probably a week or two before I can get it back online.
