On windows ping -n 50 -l 128 SERVER

Replace SERVER with each of the NiceHash stratum server locations:

speedtest.eu.nicehash.com
speedtest.usa.nicehash.com
speedtest.hk.nicehash.com
speedtest.jp.nicehash.com
speedtest.in.nicehash.com
speedtest.br.nicehash.com

Less than 200 is preferred.

All below 55 on ADSL except India - over 400 lol.
I may just get a second dedicated ADSL line.

Will kill your network.

The traffic is not muc, but what I found with wireshark is millions of little packets.

When I have the 6 home rigs on I cannot stream for shiat - On a fiber line. So moved them too.

I see my receive address on luno today is different to nicehash. Must I keep on updating the nicehash address?

Anybody know where I can get a well built mining rig that supports 8 double slot GPUs? I am not all that handy in building it myself.

So my other 3 1070's that I ordered on Amazon arrived yesterday afternoon and after some motherboard bios flashing I still could get 2 of the 6 cards working properly. Finally I read on the net that with the mobo I have there a special bios setting for crypto mining that is disabled by default. Enabling it sorted it out eventually.

Anyway, the point of this post is a bit of a rant with a question at the end of it all. So I ordered a wooden rig case from leetpro, and to be honest I am less than thrilled with it. As seen in the picture below the cards don't sit flush and have to be cable tied to hold them in place. I would really prefer having them sit flush and be able to put a screw in to secure it all. That is my biggest issue with it, the other is that I feel it could be a bit bigger for a 6 card system which would allow for bigger spacing between cards and as a result better airflow. Now the question to all those running 6 card systems... What are you doing for cases? Are you buying them from somewhere or are you making them yourselves?

EDIT: It would seem I am an idiot and don't know how to upload a picture onto the post..? Anyway, here is the actual link to the photo: https://goo.gl/photos/EhCWFVcmf3R9ToPy9

But to answer your question, ask again in a week ;) I'm waiting to see how my prototype works out
