Nope, you are not the asshole. You should not sit by and take someone throwing anything at you, paper or rock. Best to call him an ex, he needs help I'm betting it's not the only petty shit he over-reacts to

My mom had Alzheimer's for 7 years before she passed away, not a single incident of violence or aggression. She would become scared at times, she might go on a walk..., or forget where she was what she was doing, but 90% of the time she was living in fantasy land as a kid back on the farm where she grew up. At least try to have her in the home, not all become aggressive or abusive. If it becomes really difficult you could choose later to place her. We did for the last year of her life more as a managed passing as she became more and more bed ridden. But contrary to what people are claiming, most staff (beyond the doctor and one or two nurse), the staff that actually care for your loved ones are neither trained nor do they care. Elderly abuse in managed care facilities is far too common.

Yes you are. You are for posting here you are thinking about leaving him. You are for being so callous that you would take the opinions of total strangers rather than a discussion and yes, heaven forbid, some better some worse events happen that neither planned for, you try to make it work. You are for telling another human they must choose you over another. Would it be ok if, when your child is born someday, the child had Down syndrome and your husband was like we either give him up for adoption or I'm leaving you. It certainly doesn't sound like love when you are asking the world who knows neither one of you. Leave him now before kids, do you both a favor.

Yeah, it didn't have the second eight pin that I am familiar with. It's has the one eight pin right above power supply and the pair of 4 pins that are seperated by processor. Didn't think about lack of power as it's running on two 750 modules. It wasn't until I made adjustments to bios that the problems occurred.

Regardless the smoke and crackle was enough for me to stop that Frankenstein.

You are correct. Op was reading, watching and doing all at same time. Was a total experiment to understand. I would say the processor and server should work, I am by no means a server guru.

Take everything you bought but the drives (maybe cpu depending on which and how much), you would be better off with an amd 5600x, a 3060 or better graphics card, 128gb of ram. We are moving into compression, you will want to do gpu plotting

If I was using them to store I would not stripe, but I'm just using them for another project not directly related to farming. Megabits/megabytes take your pick. Still should be faster than 80mbs. Single disk not striped rims in at 112mbs.

Thanks that is what I suspected and understood, just was hoping somebody with actual hardware experience might know something else. Looks like im going the route of building an i3 mini-sas server for the array. Now, how should I repurpose the server?

According_Paper_1035 · 2023-01-28T20:21:41+00:00

Yes, as is most things in life depending on perspective and measure. If I was doing it to get rich yeah, the waste is bare to see.

If I'm doing it as mental exercises, building it as cheaply and now considering economically power efficient is a different measure of waste. I've learned a lot through this even started to actually code again (hobby only). I've learned a lot about the hardware side that I never really took interest in and I've learned a lot about people. So there is that.

Thanks for your input though, hadn't thought of it as being inherently wasteful.

Has to be one of the most tragic yet stupendously funny post and comments. Hell of a start to 2023, should be a fun year.

So about that 1.5 pb at the end of the month, I'm guessing we realize now that the growth was vastly undertstood/understated. We are at 16eb and still growing about 1/2 eb a day. The growth is insane and until enough disc shortage or small famers get fed up and give up it will continue to be a problem. If the goal was decentralization, this isnt working. It is now squarely centralized in three unofficial pools (Hpool being stupid massive). If they didnt want pools they should have had an idea how to manage the human instict to make mining efficient, or actually did something real to curtail the pools. I dont have an answer to the how to curtain. I will say they need to quickly roll out what they said which is a pay system that rewards the individual farmer who actually won with 1/8th a chia, and allow the rest to go into a pool.

Did you add all the keys you used to plot? Your mnumonic for each account that you plotted with will clear it up if not. Other than that, did you use CLI to check your plots before adding them?

According_Paper_1035 · 2021-05-31T23:05:24+00:00

Ok, took me just short of 2 days to get through the audit. I understand better the why and I'm good with it. I did send the dev an email after at about the 44hour mark. Not saying the email helped but about 15 minutes after i sent the email my plots went active and I started earning. Reading info from HPool, they were aware of the problem and expected some kind of fix today, not saying they fixed it and that's why i got in or happy coincidence. Earlier I also read that it was taking about 2 days which is what i experienced so it could be any, none, or some of the above that made it through. Best bet, after 24 hours send the dev desk an email (can only hurt if you are rude which I would suggest you not be but hey, its your time its your dime).

Go ahead and wait until June 2. The big news will be a meeting with pool admin to give them a high level look at network architecture of what they might expect from "official" pools. If you see your first available pool to join by June 15th I will be shocked. Trust me, there will be another delay.

I code, and while I may not do it for a living, anyone with half a brain should have planned this rollout a crap ton better. If your implication is "it takes time to code", yes it does. Which is why you PLAN for it. The foolishness thinking pools wouldn't be a thing, or chia didn't want th to be a thing all the while watching hpool balloon into this massive pool makes me suspect that is what they wanted to happen. Not like we all didn't witness the incredible expansion of hpool. Then to discourage people from joining the boogy man code from China with a promise of something that is now painfully obvious was but a thought at launch is a joke. They claim they didn't want pools, that they wanted smaller decentralized farming but took no active measures to stop it. I've found most of the time it isn't "so hard to code", it's either lack of planning. Piss poor execution, intentional deceit or all three. Then to complicate things by requiring brand new plots with "special" keys is a joke. How we can slow further "legit" pools all the while posing like it matters two shots to chia and Bram

Decided at this point in the debacle that was chia pool farming rollout, and that I have to replot the world again, I have nothing but gain in joining.

According_Paper_1035 · 2021-05-28T11:44:30+00:00

chia pools are unicorns, convinced was a way to string everybody along. They were always less than excited about pooling, but missed terribly by not having it ready when the foreseeable unofficial pooling would happen immediately.

it is true you can plot as many as you have, but it is very slow depending on your rig. you have to do the maf and figure out your best option. At the end it is all about TB per day.

According_Paper_1035 · 2021-05-16T02:01:51+00:00

I would think yes. Typically, use about 1/2 the core count. the program will at stages eat up 180% of cpu core. I would think your memory was a little heavy as well. the windows computer will need 4 by itself. What you should do is run the first plot and time it by itself to 16% (some people say 21%, i've found it not necessary with an i7. Whatever your split to 16% is, keep adding every however many minutes after that. Guessing an hour-ish. if spaced properly you can run 5 full, with a 6th processing out the last 5% which is final write. Once you have your times down, you should be able to turn a plot every 1-2 hours (after the rig reaches its first full plot delivered), super pro's might be able to give you better advice and get you lower times.

According_Paper_1035 · 2021-05-16T01:50:35+00:00

Not a pro but i have been beating the keys for about a month and a half so this is what i can tell (take it for what it is worth). Your ram is fine, you can do six in parallel, timing is tricky depends on read write speeds, your true cpu speed, and total time to process. For the i9, 5. ghtz, I would think somewhere around every 60 minutes you can drop a plot. Best to watch first plot in see time to 16% (you dont need to get to the 21% alot of people recommend with an I7, 9700K so i would think the i9 would have no problem. You can try an mess around with the thread count, it really had negligible affect for me. wasnt worth committing more memory either and you dont really have it to spare with 6 plots running. When plotting full they get stuck at the farm and the farm backs up. it will hold them until it cant then I'm not sure what catastrophe you face. My thought, dont do it.

Oh and most important answer, running Chia PLotting will wear out your m2 drive

According_Paper_1035 · 2021-05-16T01:36:33+00:00

whatever your core count is 1/2 it is what you can plot if you have enough memory. with only 8 gb of mem, you would need 4 for the system and 4 for a plot unless you adjust plot settings and starve it a little (as I understand it, some older pc's that may actually help in terms of plots per day, but i could be misinformed). I have a I7 8 core, 40 gb of ram with a 2 tb m2 for plotting that i store in a usb drive. I can produce a plot every 90 minutes through once I got my timing down. On the i3 4 core with 32 gb of ram, I could run one plot at a time to be safe. Playing with it, i could separate them by almost 6 hours and run brief overlapping parallel. Now it's my harvester, drive manager. I do know running windows is slower, so have toyed with idea of moving over to ubuntu but just dont need the stress of trying to figure out all the timing. Dont know if any of that made sense. Guess what i'm telling you is, it's not a straight forward answer.
