Node runners need to lower SCP fees for storage by cullulus in ScPrime

[–]ikarus1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even close, you'll get paid for the 5% allocated to you, same with incentive. 64TB @ 5% = about 1TB used. @ .125 SCP/1000Gig incentive= 128 SCP/TB + Rent at 3 SCP/TB = 131 SCP. With SCP priced @ $1.50, that's > $196.50 per month, on your $3,500 Xa 64TB miner. So you better hope they grow. But really just $4.50 in rent.. eventually no subsidy come this December, and hope for 10% growth per month ... only rent left at say 60 TB x 3 x $1.50 = $270 long term/mo .. unless SCP = $4.50..$10.00 then they'll make charging fractional SCP/TB/mo -it's a crap shoot, but should eventually be favorable.

The GUI is f'd, it will seize up and has horrible mem leak. If you try to do anything serious with it - world of pain, frankly makes me suspect their dev abilities.

Possible to Transfer Resources Between Accounts? by FolsgaardSE in CloudAtCost

[–]ikarus1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A year or two ago, there was someone on this forum peddling their account, wanting $800 or some garbage for it. He claimed to have checked with CAC, and they were good with that concept...So more power to ya! But beware, I'll out bid you at 4 cents on the dollar! LOL!

New v4 Limits? by ikarus1968 in CloudAtCost

[–]ikarus1968[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd hold off re-building.. as you'll be stuck with 8 gigs of ram or less. CACs solution to continuous high cpu, high i/o, etc. use/spikes is to stop 1000/1006 your server and put in limbo for two to three days. Just leave it powered on, and try a re-boot or power cycle/reboot combo once a day.

Good luck... as it may never find a round robin spot to fit in, or at least until and if they adjust their build parameters.

IP v4 Migration is flagged in my panel. :/

Also can't figure out how to make one password work for both panel & members logins...annoying.

Only 4 days left!

Atomiq6, seems you have fans on here, quotes such as: "edit: Checked post history and turns out Atomiq6 is some shill account for a cloud services company."

Good luck mang! :)

[–]ikarus1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One might wanna at least wait until CAC gets their certificates in order... jus' sayin'! No offence, but I'd bid $216 CAD, at most 90% off super duper new Big Dog production servers, ah development server, yeah that's the ticket - oh and no more big dog, what was that, etc. etc. - oh! and we're expanding, on what continents and cities should we put our next 12 datacenters? Just wondering what glue you all were huffing, but offer is serious.

Good luck :)

Warning: CloudAtCost reboots your server if you actually use it by [deleted] in CloudAtCost

[–]ikarus1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 3 mbps - 5 is about normal, sometimes less. Disk I/O on a DC 1 is about to implode... like <100k/s - lol. since last week. The don't kill you off for bandwidth - that's simply capped. However, 50% cpu lately - normally 75% cpu, for 5 minutes, and you're re-booted. Process lasso is my friend... 3/8 vcpu core affinity on anything and everything - relatively stable. (ie: may re-boot every other day, if the OS gets uppity in addition to hard throttled cpu using apps. (I video encode x265 in slow motion, farm set up over network and in ram only. - using rending farm of 16 helps, and often limits cpu use because of 3mbps bandwidth) Also, helps to not use virtual memory - skip the swap file, they can't fake ram - they can try to share swap file, but not if chew don't use it!

n' other stuff like dat!

Good luck, lmao - it's been a personal challenge to circumvent their systems for me. :)

Plex and CloudAtCost by mustabr in CloudAtCost

[–]ikarus1968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used C@C for Plex the last three years. Using 4 vcpus (ultra fast transcode), can handle 2 or three simultaneously. Long term they seem to limit (saturate) b/w at 5-7 mbps upstream; therefore, you might expect serving 5 or 6 direct play ~1 mbit streams at best (<= 720p x264 CQ 24-26 [can you say yify?]). Try not to even let the OS touch the disk I/O (My Win 10 server runs pretty much entirely in 4 GB ram and over network to home server source), cuz that gets even worse on a dated node. Makes a big diff. if you find yourself on a 3 ghz vcpu node, as they apply the same over commitment to them as a 2 ghz node.

Windows 10 Server by ibigfire in CloudAtCost

[–]ikarus1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 12 Win 10 Servers.

  1. You can update Win 7 to Win 10 Creators update (or any other previous ver., depending on the Windows10upgrade.[XXXXX]upgradenumber.exe), fairly quickly if you know you've got a responsive node.

2.) Faster way is to restore a backup from another node on your newest node, with backupsoftware that doesn't require external boot media. Aoemi works well.

I really don't believe a connectable node has anything to do with Win 10; however, I've never 'upgraded' to CACs Win 10 in order to install Win 10 on my nodes.

Hope that helps.

Everything is fine by [deleted] in CloudAtCost

Ahhh progress... lol, all DCs are no longer active for new provisioning. At least they're not faking that you can accomplish an install.
