In other news, if you install 3x 10krpm fans, I am impressed with how cool the drives can stay even in a 100f+ degree garage. Most are sitting around ~40c. Not cold but pretty good for a hot garage.

heh.

i'm a bout 86F right now for all my drives.

and it's either 85 or 88 in the garage, depending on which garage door opener you believe.

yeah, thats about right, 100f is around 38c.

 

At night it will drop down a little to ~90f in the garage with some fans setup in the window lol. Not as bad as some years, a few years ago it did not go below 90f for a few months, day or night.

go download that.

for the forks that are giving you grief, use that to start them. (right click, select start).

see if that helps.

Now that is interesting!

 

Is there a reason to not use it for all of them?

probably not.

he's about to post 0.8 to git in a bit.

I've been chatting with him on discord, working on some of the forks.

how are you starting your forks?

GUI?

command line?

if the latter, how are you solving the problem of, any started fork process will be under the cmd process, and if you kill CMD, you kill everything?

 

 

I think it's getting there.

 

I'd suggested the following...

 

 

we'll see how interested he is in doing it.  problem will be the statistics will require a 3D table to be effective (coin * entry * values.  27 * 8640 * 4... if i'm right).

I have tried it both ways. Doing GUI at the moment due to troubleshooting.

 

For the script I use the line I posted earlier in a startup script I have running to start the GPU mining anyways.

 

start "" "path to program"

 

The double quotes before the path is the part that makes it work. The script runs and opens the GUI's and closes when it is done automatically.

but that's just a title field being blank.

interesting.

 

also, I changed my one image above.

Odd, all of the forks I am trying to start are yellow?

 

A lot of can not connect errors. Is there a firewall setting I need to change? It is just the stock windows firewall.

Yep but after a lot of searching that turned out to be the fix and worked great since.

are the forks in question started?

Do I have to start them manually? Your earlier post made it sound like this program would handle starting them and might have better luck?

right-click on each one that's not running, and select start.

it doesn't start them automatically, although we were working on that a bit.

Yeah, I tried that, that got them to turn yellow but the logs show a lot of can not connect errors even on the ones that work when started normally.

Ok. while I think that forkfarmer thing is really cool, I'm going to now recommend holding off using it for a bit.

It's got an issue where if you have enough forks running and it viewing them it'll crush the CPU every 60 seconds.

writer is working on the problem.

what does the yellow/green light mean in it? All of mine are yellow with some having a hint of green?

 

Also noticed that some forks have the expected 0.5 second time and others are like 20 seconds+. Odd.

don't ask how, but i'm farming all 27 on a single machine right now, and it's not overloaded, and it's winning on various forks.

 

Had to move FARM2 to FARM1 for a bit, as I have repair work to do on the former, and it'll be down for a couple hours at least.

and, I think they sent me another bad board.

this one throws an immediate memory error (1 repeating beep) no matter what chips I toss in it.

I have no clue how you are running them all. I am lucky to keep 6-7 running without crashing and mine is more powerful. Something is up for sure.

another board is on its way.

hopefully this one works.

and it looks like the 3rd one works.

trying now to get everything into their final positions.

 

I redid a lot of my drive setup and think I figured out what is causing some of them to crash.

 

I am also mining on an old Vega 56 on this system and somehow it seems to cause the Chia blockchains to crash. No idea how or why. I was updating the blockchains and they all kept running for a full day without an issue but as soon as I started the GPU mining they started to crash within hours.

 

Leaves me in a pickle. I don't think that chia is worth the ~250w it takes to mine it alone so not sure if I should just disable chia mining, only mine the blockchains that don't crash or split it up into 2 separate machines.

looks like shamrock has shit the bed.
