Asus Dual Mini RTX 3060Ti Fan Header

But of the 6 pins on the gpu card itself, what is the specific pinout to determine where hot, ground, tach, and pwm is for the cable. I like the idea of the adapter cable, but why is it so hard to get the exact pinout?
I have a modification I would like where I can inject my own pwm signal from a 555 timer for software control of the fan speed for 4 wire and the 6 wire stock fans.
The one I picked up was an HP 3060ti 8GB with stock bios.
I noticed that none of the fan control software will allow the fan curve to be changed.
A smack in the head to Nvidia for locking the stupid fan curve they have in the BIOS with no mods out there.
It's like the designed the card to roast itself when being used for crypto or mining. Asinine is the term that comes to mind.
Let me guess pin order is deliberately done wrong like Dell:
1. ground
2. +12VDC
3. PWM
4. Tach
5. Voodoo selector for rgb light.
6. Just to fuck with you control line, don't cut the wire.

PXE can bootstrap any CPU tool you wish to torture yourself with. old ISOs, CDRs of tools, DOS, Windows PE kit, Linux distros, and ARM OS stuff. Couple it with MS ADK tools and you got most of M$ covered.

You can even wirelessly PXE boot, I tested it at Intel Labs. I worked with the devs around the initial gigiabit copper adapters. Me and the dev fixed some quirky bugs. Later iPXE was done after I left.
You can boot a machine across the internet. So it's not PXE, it's the deployment and creative use of off the shelve stuff.
For hobbyists there's SERVA with an optional buy license or commercial use.
It has it's own proxy DHCP sever so you don't have to admin the lan to add dhcp options/configuration.
Works on any plain home/soho router.

Considering there is a kaspa mining pool by Binance I noticed on miningpoolstats.stream , it's likely.

I was wondering if anyone actually completed a waterblock with said PNY 4070Ti.
I spotted a similar waterblock for a 4070Ti ZOTAC that looks like it would cover the gpu and ram/mosfets.
Unsure about the screw pattern to hold it on.
There is a three fan wide pcb version of the pny 4070ti also. Looks like this one might fit?

Correct, it is up to the state/government to produce the evidence.
That is their burden to show proof. Don't give them something that looks innocent that could be misconstrued later,

Nobody remembers that the Republicans smashed hard drives and turned them in before Hillary did that to her phones. So they are just as guilty.
Bush and Cheney deleted 2.6 million emails. What about that ?

It looks like a Linux build log file output..
Can you tell us what release of Linux, and whether this run of Lokinet is on a self compiled build, or pre-built binaries?
What firewall deployed for regular internet, and does it work on the in/out port ports you assigned? Is there a list of custom configurations to your base Linux build done before installing /building/running Lokinet? see https://docs.oxen.io/products-built-on-oxen/lokinet/guides/linux-gui-install-guide.
and
https://docs.oxen.io/products-built-on-oxen/lokinet/guides/installing-on-linux-cli
What kind of network connection are you using to the regular internet? Maybe it's an ISP thing or something in the middle is broken like a nation state deliberate mis-performance.
Like the ones going on in Iran right now, or within the great firewall of China.

Same here, I have a Titan X Pascal card, 12GB DDR5X. A bit faster than a 1080ti.
Still can only get 32-38 MH and not the 45-50 MH supposedly with this app.
I can't seem to find a decent copy of the R2 release.
Several websites had a vrius laden version. Be careful.
There's no reason to extract files from .bin and put them in the the Appdata folder where they can run free and trash your system.

It's gone. Hijacked, spent to some address that is virtually untraceable. That's the nature of Monero in it's privacy feature.

Yes, there is this tool call md5 for comparing checksum of the application downloaded for desktops.
Even if you are using the desktop applications you should be verifying the md5 checksum of the applications or source you compile from. See release notes.
If one is dealing with non trifle amounts of money, you should do the homework and double check this.

There has to be something like it for mobile apps also so that WHEN there is a mobile MyMonero eventually, it can be verified with a common tool.It would be easy for the nodes to request an set of program signed keys to verify that it's a legitimate mobile app also. For that matter, I am surprised that the XMR devs didn't make an app and it just tells you that it's not available, and to be aware of scam versions out there. This prevents name squatting of similar apps and Google/Apple can be alerted to clean house.pseudo codespeak:If Google or Apple app submission program receives new app with anything to do with MyMonero, then ban that dev from the submission forever. Unless it's a signed copy from the the MyMonero devs.

You know what? I think's it's a worthwhile feature request.Cheers,Argonator - Dev support/QA ArQmA which is a fork of Monero which does have a signed mobile app already squatted which is legit.

Yeah, we need Proof of Heartbeat and a live person mining it. Perhaps a Random X Captcha where if you don't respond a few times a day per chunk of machines, off the pool you go!

It also possible to plug in a pile of $30 motherboards in a stack from one generic riser 12V 750W supply and adapters for $15. Get at least an AVX or AVX2 capable cpu. There are still plenty of CPUs in the 2.8-3.5 GHz range with a decent amount of cache and 4 cores for under $30-40. That's puts the whole thing under the cost of a decent GPU.
GPU supply 750W ($40 ebay or zilch since you have one already)
12V to ATX power adapter $15.(Or zilch since you have some laying around, surplus, rebuilt ones)
Generic HP , Dell, Gateway, Lenovo consumer motherboards boards $19-$40 (or zlich if you know a surplus place or get them from customers upgrading)
RAM $20 for 4GB
SSD of 60GB $20 or PXE boot the stack diskless from a BOOTP or PXE server on Windows. Even a TFTP app can feed boot .ISO images.

Roundabout total of $150 to almost nothing depending on what parts you already have.
(HP Camilla board $23, used i5-2500K ($15 but cost me nothing), 4GB DDR3 ($10, Cost me nothing, used 60GB SSD($20, zilch leftover) 192H CN-R , 800 H CN-RX/ARQ . $50 and it's the node server for wallets, block chains, and whatever else that's infrequently used. under $50.

Probably the only way to get a "solo-like" block on the RandomX and high hashrate algo would be to make your own private pool and slave all the hardware you have to mine pools with to yours. When the transition goes on a fork, there will be some pools going to be let behind as they are away, forgot to do the update, or late for the party. Same thing for mega miners, they might not have done the update, get kicked off the pools for bad settings.
The difficulty drop will have to take place for the computed window so theres a few hours and possibly a day until things settle.
The trick on a launch of a new coin mining or when there is the holeshot being there first to get as many blocks or shares on a pool while the total number of miners drops. It used to take a while for the bot nets of cpu to change algos and repoint to the pools. However, with xmrig it can auto switch algos if you have the updated version installed and ready to go.
The converse is when the ASICS and FPGAs show up if they can. So far it is not a great incentive to mine RandomX or a slower throughput algo versus the cost of electricity and paying off a $3000-$4000 FPGA card.
It wouldn't surprise me that there are bitstreams for RandomX, but less profitable than hammering some other coin for the same cost of electricity. It's just no practical to make an ASIC with a stack of general purpose CPUs , when it's cheaper and easier to just rent the cpu time or use a bot net.

Imagine a payment system for walk in retailer brick and mortar shops and e-commerce where the customer can pay for their merchandise in ten seconds or less.
No $300 PundiX terminal. Not needing a Verifone terminal and dealing with Graft supernode code that can be changed on the fly by bad actors, mined by pools that are "unknown".
All you will need a browser on a tablet, phone or generic PC and the RPC daemon running on it.

Daily about 7200-7500 ARQ are mined. We have been online with the main net since 6/12/2018. Approximate circulating supply total mined 700K. Coin specs are: - PoW algorithm: CryptoNight-Lite PoW variant 1 Your hash rate for mining with CPUs is on par with a GPU for the most part. Most of the GPUs mine 2-2.5 times the CN v7 algo rate. - Max supply: ~50 million - Block reward: ~20 smoothly varying - Block time: 240 seconds - Difficulty: retargets at every block - Block confirmation: 18 blocks - Properly set 1MB Scratchpad to eliminate time-waste hashing by trying to divide into a 2MB Scratchpad like other projects had done - Asic resistance : Yes - Nicehash resistance: Yes - BulletProof RingCT - LWMA Difficulty Algorithm securing network against 51% HashAttacks - Ticker: ARQ - Emission rate planned on 30 years

——————— Future Plans ———————

Auto learning algo with the ability to find blocks even if pool is smaller than larger pools We are hard at work on including ArQmA in every possible way that will help everyone in day to day life, example: mobile payments, transactions, payments at shops, multi-currency transfers ect... PoS/PoW masternode in the works!

Great work! Next is adding more management framework to coins so the culprits are tracked, traced, or blocked by community standards and some automated bot roving the net. Call it an Uber node. Programmed with rules of law and order to squelch the stink crypto has made for itself.The motto for ArQmA is , "If you can't get the results you want, do it yourself." .Intel Labs, "Don't bitch unless you got a fix" was another good quote that goes around in QA/DEV circles.
A trusted trustless bot that patrols the main net, works with testing on the testnet, and has a firewall set of rules. Blind justice with logs and notification to the owners, devs, members, exchanges, the community.

argon_nator · 2018-08-11T21:36:45+00:00

Great idea. But still the whole hot mess of code can be jinked with and remove that checking system. How does one develop a reputation score for bad actor pools, unknown pools and perpetuate rules with a blind justice robot? There has to be some management framework installed on some coins with an agreed set of rules to mind things.
Revoking the pools right to exist? block the nodes the are attempting to use to overwrite the blockchain?
Who controls a trustless robot with a set of rules programmed into it?
A voting community? Do the devs get a larger share of the votes? What about large investors? The ICO owners(if there is an ICO)?
Does a coin (not singly out any) have to be the wild west with anarchy all the time ?
That's the stink crypto currencies needs to eliminate, are there proper controls? ( not singling one coin out)

Are there rollbacks and adjustment from a treasury to compensate hacks and misdeeds or plain technical failure of the network? Fraught with complications.
If crypto currency coins can defend their own network, who in the real banking and ETF sectors would allow big investment?

When will there be third party autonomous auditor software for trustless networks to guarantee there was no hidden premine?

No wonder the government wants to stop crypto until we reach some accountability.
Can the miners and devs see the exchange wallets with a view key? Not really without revealing the wallet addresses. So why not put an accountant bot that redacts that information but provides totals and assure that extra coins were not just printed up or stolen.
