  Silk Road launched in February 2011 as the darknet’s first bitcoin-based marketplace. Within four months, it would be the darknet’s most notorious site whose reputation extended all the way to the U.S. Senate. The origins of the drugs marketplace can be traced back further, however, to a philosophical thread on the Bitcointalk forum. It was […] The post Bitcoin History Part 15: Silk Road Is Born appeared first on Bitcoin News. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-history-part-15-silk-road-is-born/

  Hello, sorry for the trouble you are having. We switched off of the Paypal Recurring-style subscriptions in December. Now you can renew using our custom cart, which gives you more flexibility: Login Paypal and cancel the recurring subscription. Then go back to miner.farm and add time to your subscription. If, after completing these 2 steps, you have further issues, please contact us via discord or email and provide farmer # so we may look into it.

  Some more questions On the Asus b250 Mining expert motherboard, do you also like Doc use the aux4pin Molax power connectors next to the pcie slots - what do they achieve? Many thanks. Re same psu, is that due to power regulatory? So if I have a 11 card rig can use 2 aux power connectors or should I use all 3? Can I use adapters going from the same psu of course as I only have two Molax power cable for my psu I do like Asus though, as Up to now have been using the Asus b250f gaming motherboards, but thought with the price of the mining expert being so low now is the time to try it out Answers From RoyKiiii (in PiMP Discord) I have a lot of b250 mining expert experience. I do use the aux ports, make sure they are all connected to the SAME PSU. Its technically meant to provide additionally power to the pcie sockets for when full sized graphics cards are used or when the board is providing power. However, the majority of us already use powered risers, therefore not much power gets used by those auxiliaries. From my understanding its to create a common shared ground for less interference and detection on card fault/removal etc. Yes more importantly its to create a common ground. Would definitely install the aux power cords, Because we dont use much power off the board sockets. I'll also mention that its optional, many people dont use them. The board is actually 3 sections, each section is separated in a way. That molex creates a common ground to reduce dirty power. You should always use all 3 of the molex connections. If you don't have 3, I would just use a molex splitter 1to2. Be warned that 11 cards must be a specific arrangement per the pdf slot placement So thats for if you're using 3 psu's. As you see there isnt much shared between sections. The molex on the left creates a "common ground" I haven't tried 11 yet, 6 AMD RX580 is the most ive attempted. I wasnt just able to use the first 6 slots either! Theres some guess and check involved, expect to power off and power on many times to get the right combination Also dont ever disconnect a riser from a powered board, Make sure to turn the main switch off the psu, or unplug the cable completely when removing risers. Sometimes power is stored in the capacitors that can damage the rise or the gpu. Roy, thank you so much for your time / knowledge / and expertise really appreciate it. I goto send off a parcel but will be on later.

  This can get very complicated and skirt the edge of dangerous... AMD GPU's do not identify themselves in a unique way. Bus_ID's and GPU_ID's can change... You'd need a way to properly identify what GPU the BIOS is for or run the risk that someone could flash an incorrect BIOS. Good luck and I look forward to what you come up with.

  Check your router's logs and/or DHCP tables and you should be able to identify the IP address being assigned to your PiMP rig. You can also use network scanning apps like in the below link. https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/3264/need-help-finding-your-rig-s-ip-address-let-me-introduce-you-to-the-fing-app-free

  Hey pimps and thanks for using the PiMP referral program. Many of you recommend PiMP to your friends, co-workers, customers and family and we wanted to make sure that you share in the success of PiMP. We are by miners, for miners and we all want to succeed together. That being said, nobody likes spam or being annoyed by advertisements, and we work hard to prevent these things from bothering our own community forum, discord, and threads. Therefore we are always looking for a good balance between growing the PiMP community and making sure that it is done tastefully and respectfully, in a helpful way. Many forums will not allow you to post many links and/or banners, even in your own signature, and even if the post itself is very helpful or useful topic on that forum. It's sad, but everyone tries to fight spam in their own way. We want to make sure that we never fall into the category of being considered spammers. So... if you have your own discord, website, forum or community, obviously you are able to post as you see fit. We provide a referral url and track everything for you in your My Referrals section. We find that being helpful and showing new or troubled miners the way is the best chance of making their mining life better by getting them upgraded to PiMP. Helping others is also how we started this journey. Setting the example and being friendly and guiding others to success is one of our main visions for the PiMP community. Once the other miners see this they will want to hang out with us and share in our fun and success. Feel free to comment or question below if you have any questions about using the links and banners!

By DocDrydenn This has not been forgotten. I'm back on it and working hard to get it done. Stop by the PiMP Discord and I'll "leak" a few screenshots for ya. PIMP OS news: PiMP OS v2.9.7 is unofficially released. It has been tested and good to go. It includes fixes and updates to PiMP OS and comes with the newest AMD and nVidia Drivers (including CUDA 10). The reason this is an unofficial release, is due to not having the backend ready to serve CUDA 10 built miners. They can be manually installed, though. We'll get some updates out to support the new cuda10 miners for the GTX 20x0 cards as soon as we can. Major improvement to validation will prevent many new users from having to reimage to validate.
