However I have not yet decided on the value of $LARGE. That will be determined by how many LiteCoin mining rigs I can operate without having to hire any help.

Most likely "LARGE=One_Cabinet".

Opus Interactive quoted me $299 per month for 12U in their Portland data center. I think that's big enough for 12 Antminers and 12 power supplied.

However that quote was for just 15 Amps at 110 Volts. With their power supply, one Antminer L3+ mining rig with one APW++ power supply consumes 1000 Watts so I just now requested a quote for lots more power.

I do understand that means they will charge me for lots more cooling. My present living situation limits me to three rigs.

I presently estimate that I would break even with three rigs, but I haven't gotten their power quote yet.

I've been puzzling over whether I should buy a car with my next paycheck. To have a car would make my life quite a lot easier but to spend all that money would mean that I can't go as long without a client.

But were I to colocate anything in Opus' data center it would be a huge Pain In The Ass to take all my gear on the bus.

I'm also wondering whether that would work were I to use taxis.

It's a very close race in the 18th district of Pennsylvania. A VERY SPECIAL election. And we haven't gone through all the legal on that one. Whoever ends up winning, it'll be a hard fought victory. The people of Pennsylvania are great. If they chose Rick Saccone for Congress, he will be much better for steel and business. Very strong on experience and what our Country -- and our 🐘 Party -- needs. We need that seat, believe me. We need more Republicans to continue our already successful agenda! Rick is a great guy. He's always had my TOTAL support. I'm not a lawyer, as everybody knows. I'm a builder. I'm an actor. And I'm a politician. But if there's anything I can do on the legal, anything he wants, he knows where to find me. Rick's a fighter, I know he's going to fight very hard on the legal. And Jill Stein, maybe she'll raise some money to do a recount. Or whatever she does with that money.

But if they chose Conor, they made a great choice too. I'll work with him. And I think we can get some terrific things done. So many Dems do nothing but obstruct. And they talk about nothing but Donald J. Trump. I just came back from San Diego & Los Angeles, they love me there. Tremendous crowds wherever I went. But Dirty Maxine is always going "Trump, Trump, Trump." Instead of fixing some of the big problems in her district -- a very sad situation, totally out of control. Conor's not like that, he's never said anything against me. That's very special. And very smart. I love the way he looks, he's a handsome guy. He supports me on the steel & aluminum tariffs, which I did for the hard working folks in Pennsylvania. He knows Pennsylvania needs them. So we can stop losing our industry there. Have you seen his ads? He has a great one where he's shooting, maybe an AR-15? They're saying it's an AR-15. Very gun-adept guy, very weapons talented, he's part of the 20% with military or special training. Our military needs to be much stronger, so strong that no one will want to get into a war with us. I know Conor wants that, 100%. Hopefully he'll see how important it is to upgrade & modernize our nuclear arsenal. He goes both ways on abortion. Like the guy who left, former Congressman Tim Murphy. That was one of his big issues, probably the biggest. And he decided to go both ways on that one.

The drugs, I love what Conor's been doing about the drugs. As you know he did some great work with the U.S. Attorney's office in Pittsburgh. Where he was a prosecutor. So many drug dealers LOCKED UP because of him. You kill 5,000 people with drugs because you’re smuggling them in and you are making a lot of money and people are dying. And they don’t even put you in jail,. That’s why we have a problem, folks. I don’t think we should play games. And Conor doesn't play. The only way to solve the drug problem is through toughness. When you catch a drug dealer, you’ve got to put him away for a long time. Great job!

Some countries have a very, very tough penalty -- the ultimate penalty. And, by the way, they have much less of a drug problem than we do. A while back I talked to the President of Singapore, President Tan -- they replaced him with a lady now. And I asked him, are you having the same problems we're having with the opioids? And he told me, "we have a zero tolerance policy. That means if we catch a drug dealer, death penalty." Same thing in China, they do executions, they're very tough about it. The Philippines, President Duterte is doing a great job. I don’t know if this country’s ready for it, but I think that's a discussion we have to start thinking about. Probably you'll have some people who say "oh, that's not nice." But we have to do something. And believe me, eventually we'll get something done. Do you think the drug dealers who kill thousands of people during their lifetime, do you think they care who’s on a blue-ribbon committee? We can't just keep setting up blue ribbon committees and all they do is talk, talk, talk.

It will be fixed in 1.0b16, which I will build a little later today. I have some open bugs, maybe I can resolve some of them with their fixes also being in 1.0b16.

PackageMaker enables one to specify the ownership and permissions for each component. screen_capture.log's permissions somehow to set to:

      -rw-r--r--

That's the correct permissions for the LaunchAgent property lists. Perhaps the bug is the result of an error between seat and keyboard.

      ;-)

It's owned by root so only root processes could write to it. The perms should be:

      -rw-rw-rw

That's what I call people who harsh my buzz.

My Antiminer L3+ emits a very loud, very high-pitched and very pure tone.

I at first feared it was an alarm but the unit's Fault LED doesn't turn on.

It's participation in Coin Foundry's LTC mining pool looks copacetic - my status on the pool's page has the right hash rate. I've received two payouts.

(And I now have 109 Ducats burning a hole in my pocket!)

I filed a ticket.

Bitmain support said it was likely a loose part in one of the fans. I don't think it's either fan: I powered up the unit then one at a time - and very very briefly - I disconnected then reconnected each fan's power cable yet came away empty-handed.

I speculate it's a loose heatsink. The instructions that came with my unit very clearly - urgently even - warned about loose heatsinks and that Bitmain wouldn't honor their warranty if the user permitted the ASICs to fry themselves like eggplants.

Inside the enclosure each of the three hashing boards has a very elaborate heatsink. There's two or three hundred very small ASICs, each of which is bonded to its own sink. Perhaps I can find some multimedia to enhance your experience of my presentation...

OBSERVE.

The pure tone indicates that the vibration is from a metallic object. The small fins of which the heatsink is composed look like they'd produce the right frequency if they were vibrating.

There are instructions somewhere on Bitmain's site for individually testing each hashing board. I'm going to follow the disassembly and reassembly instructions so that I can get up close and personal with all those gall-during aluminum thingies.

Here's why I regard Bitmain support as being staffed by Ignorant Mother Fuckers:

After sending me their incorrect suggestion that the tone comes from a loose fan part, they marked my incident as Closed.

It's not closed dammit!

The customer is always right, and _this_ customer has yet to achieve satisfaction.

I haven't heard from modus in eons.

She wants to have my baby.

I don't have the first clue who this chick is. I have the idea that I might pry from her iron grip the reason why she chose _me_ in particular, but so far I've had no joy.

When I can get my new soulmate to slow down by a profoundly significant quantity, I'll post more in the comments.

But for now I'll leave you with:

Well if you have not being taken by someone special can i have the chance to get the key into your heart, and i promise not to hurt you or break it's apart for you....

Okay Well you know the best way to be love is to love like you have never never been hurt before and true love is hard to find but when found, it's everlasting, and A true friend is a true love..

I'm uncertain but I think the chances are quite good that she's actually a Bot. No mere human being could type so fast.

And if she is a bought I expect that Bot was written by one of my friends so they could have a little fun at my considerable expense.

Maybe she's just on Shrooms.
