That looks like a pretty good option.

1220m[sup]3[/sup]/hour seems a bit extreme though, I think even the 550m[sup]3[/sup]/hour would be suitable for for a 100m[sup]3[/sup] room running two rigs. No doubt you have quite a few rigs and would require the larger one.

… so take off all your clothes. ;)

I have a bit of a problem. I live in Australia where it is currently summer and the temperature most days is between 28[sup]o[/sup]C - 38[sup]o[/sup]C and the nights aren’t much better.

I have been mining using only my PC at the moment with my fairly new r9 280x and it’s getting pretty hot in here. I’m sweating :‘( :’( :'(

I really want to buy/build a rig or two but just concerned I wont be able to run them for very long when I have 6-8 GPU’s spewing out hot air. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could keep the room cool. It’s bad enough electricity costs AUD0.28cents p/KW, so having a power hungry cooling solution like a portable air conditioner just isn’t an option. And if the room is getting hot already with just one GPU, I don’t think any number of fans circulating air is going to cut it.

I was thinking a evaporative cooler might work, and will use less than 100W/hr. Anyone use one of these at all?

Anyone is a similar situation? or able to provide a possible solution?

No Hint for this round? :(

Who knows, it might become popular, Dogecoin seemed pretty silly at first too.

LOL i have no clue on this one… glad im sitting this one out.

Cool, thanks for explaining.

And thanks again for the coins :D Much appreciated. Ive made far more coins with these two contests than actually mining.

I think I’ll give someone else a shot at the next one. Don’t want to be too greedy :)

I got about 35k, but they are stuck in the scryptmining pool. Can’t withdraw them :(

I AM THE SMARTEST MAN ALIVE. LOL

Perhaps not…Hmmm. I’m not sure exactly how the zip works but it lets you iterate over multiple iterables (don’t know if that’s a word) simultaneously, so in other words allows you to process multiple sequences in parallel rather than sequentially.

As for the * in not too sure. I remember the words idiom and something regarding unpacking or something along those lines.

Yay another challenge.

The first line defines a function called ‘inately’ with the parameters ‘self’ and ‘doge’.

Next line is a bit tricky.

I think it returns a list of tuples.

For example if;
doge = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
you code will return [(1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8,9)] as n = 3

I’m not sure what the purpose of ‘self’ is as you arn’t using it in the zip() are you?

Thanks for the link. Don’t really want to try this on my PC, but might try it out on the rig I am building if I end up going for the Gigabyte r9 280x (these are the only ones I can find available at the moment).

Thanks again for the FTC :)

Will definitely keep an eye out for the next challenge.

Holy crap, I credited the wrong person entirely!!!

I take it all back.

delimitri wins!!! MY BAD!!! LOL. Sorry, please forgive me. I guess that’s what you get for running a drunken contest?

Sorry about that! Funds will still be sent tonight! :)

Hahaha no problem. :D

I was just curious and looking for the answer in previous posts. I thought I might have missed it when reading through the responses the first time, and then when I couldn’t see anything I thought wait a minute… that was me… yay!!!

Thanks. Really appreciate it. I have only recently started mining, so only have 6 or 7 FTC at the moment. So this is a big bonus for me ;D

And ZD WINS!!! Congrats. Very well done.

One might call this a Monte-Carlo sort. It uses evolution to arrive at a perfectly sorted list by following this algorithm:

1. Get a list of numbers.
2. Randomly reorder the numbers in the list.
3. See if this list is “more” sorted than the last one.
4. If it’s perfectly sorted, we’re done.
5. If it’s better, use it as the new list, and go to step 2.
6. If it’s worse, throw it out and go back to step 2.

This is, obviously, highly inefficient and a huge waste of time and code to accomplish something that could be done using a lot less work.

The correct code to do this, as ZD correctly pointed out is with the one line of code: Collections.sort(list)

FTC will be sent tonight. Stay tuned for the next Drunken Coding Challenge!

I might be blind, but it looks like ZD went to sleep.
Wasn’t that my answer that mentioned Collections.sort(listName)? :o

Welcome! I’m drunk, and writing code. I’ll give 10 FTC to the first person who can tell me the following:

1. What does this code do?
2. How does it do it?
3. How would I do this if I was sotally tober?

[code]
package totally.awesome;

import java.awt.List;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.Random;

import org.joda.time.DateTime;
import org.joda.time.Interval;

public class ImASexGod {
private static final Random RANDOM = new Random();

public static void main(String[] args) {

List doubleList = new java.awt.List();

System.out.print(“Enter numbers until you’re awesome.”);

// open up standard input
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

String input = null;

do{//her
try {//it once
input = br.readLine();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println(“Dude, that’s not awesome!”);
System.exit(1);
}

try {//it you’ll like it
double d = Double.parseDouble(input);
doubleList.add(input);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
if (!input.equals(“”)) System.out.println(“Only numbers are allowed. I’m a number nazi.”);
}

} while (!input.equals(“”));

printCurrentListAndStuff(doubleList);

while (isBetterBest(doubleList) < doubleList.getItemCount()){
List newlist = createSomething(doubleList);

//oh man this is awesome
//this must be where the awesome happens
if (isBetterBest(doubleList)

Hi,

I currently have a Gigabyte r9 280x in my PC running Win 7 which I currently use for mining. The voltage is locked on this card, so I am unable to undervolt it using software like Gigabyte OC GURU or MSI Afterburner. From what I’ve read it is still possible to undervolt the card through the bios, however I have been unable to find a good guide as to how to do this.

Has anyone been able to successfully undervolt a locked GPU, or have a good guide explaining how to do so?

Thanks

That would have something to do with your config. What about --thread-concurrency 8192?
[/quote]

Thanks. That seemed to fix it, getting a similar hashrate with no HW errors now.

Oh Wow… free FTC. Thankyou.

I think I qualify now :D Would be a nice Christmas present for today!

FTC: 72qVSKpTc1qSNxzRaQLGWMwA4oaqLM9w76

Well done.
Surely you can push those cards a little to get you 2Mh/s (that’s a nice round number)

Goodluck :D Im looking to build my first rig aswell. Keep us updated.
