Antminer s9 shorting out KillAWatt energy meter?

Hey everyone! Im hoping to get some help with my antminer s9. I have a small mining operation that im running with a frined of mine for fun. we have one antminer s9 and ive been using a "P3 International P4460 Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor" to monitor the electricity usage to help calculate costs. the monitor was working fine but then suddenly it just died and wont turn on anymore. I figured it was a goof and ordered a replacement, but about a week into the s9 running the same thing happened. anyone have any ideas on why my s9 keeps killing these things? Does anyone else use these things to monitor their electricity usage? maybe im just using the wrong one?

BTC on the way to a breakout?

I’m 53 yo and I’ve been involved with investing and day trading for many years. I’ve noticed that since future trading was enabled for btc (which allowed the shorting of btc and btc-linked instruments) the patterns have started to resemble those of other ETFs. This happened because once you can make money on the way up AND on the way down, automated day-trading algorithms start taking over. These algorithms are owned and operated by heavy hitters. They benefit from intraday swings, it doesn’t matter which way. They are fast and unbeatable by human operators. And, IMHO, they are responsible for the btc correction that happen in late December to now. Their purpose now is to push the btc price down so that outsiders (people like you and me) buy the dip and push money into the pot. But in spite of this downward push, I see a resilience in btc that makes me think that a big upswing is coming. And I plan to act accordingly. Disclaimer: this is my personal opinion. No investing advice is given or implied. As a general rule never invest money you can’t afford to lose. Crypto trading is very risky and you can lose everything you put in. via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/2FzSTsu

Craig S Wright's email to Dave Kleiman is provably false

In the infamous "leak" published by gizmodo and supposedly outing Craig Wright as Satoshi, there is an email that - if true - would be a real bomb.

it is dated march 12th 2008 and it reads:

I need your help editing a paper I am going to release later this year. I have been working on a new form of electronic money. Bit cash, Bitcoin...

You are always there for me Dave. I want you to be part of it all.

I cannot release it as me. GMX, Vistomail and Tor. I need your help and I need a version of me to make this work that is better than me.

Craig

( https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/knlyk7dpjqucpmiojhs8.png )

This mail wants to show that the early idea of bitcoin came from Wright to Kleiman, and not the other way around.

Needless to say, it is extremely suspect.

One thing I have found is that not only it is suspect, but it is provably false.

The domain information-defense.com from which this email supposedly originates (the sender is craig.wright@information-defense.com ) was only registered by Wright on jan 23rd 2009, when he registered the Australian company "Information Defense PTY".

BTW, this was just a couple weeks after the blockchain started, and this company is somehow the predecessor of the similarly named American company "W & K Info Defence Ltd" controlled by Kleiman and later passed back to Wright.

The fact is, I believe "Information Defense PTY" is indeed related to bitcoin mining, but I think it's pretty likely that Wright forged that email in order to establish a priority over Kleiman.

That domain wasn't his in march 2008.

Gizmodo explains the problem saying:

pointing to the likelihood that its registration lapsed and was later renewed, which would explain the discrepancy

( https://gizmodo.com/the-mystery-of-craig-wright-and-bitcoin-isnt-solved-yet-1747576675 )

but this just does not hold, in light of an historical whois search

On Aug 25, 2007 the registrant was a "John W#####ck, 26 New Lane S####n, NY 11784-3304 US" and expiry date was 15-Mar-2008. (edited to protect privacy of previous owner)

On may 27th, 2008 the domain was listed in a list of domains in pending-delete state: https://web.archive.org/web/20151226101620/http://www.expire.cc/2008/05/27

The domain probably expired, and on Jun 1, 2008 the domain owner was "eNom, Inc. on behalf of eNom, Inc. Customer TBD eNom Customer TBD eNom Customer (legal@enom.com)"

Enom is a registrar, who had a "back-ordering" service for expired domains" this appears to be an ownership used by Enom for "domain tasting" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_tasting )

Only on jan 23rd 2009 the domain was bought by Wright (presumably he got it from eNom) and shortly later archive.org shows a site for the first time: https://web.archive.org/web/20090216141126/http://information-defense.com:80/

So, I think that email is a provable forgery.

For the skepticals: the historical whois of the domain can be ordered for $49 from domaintools.com . I am not going to publish the report's PDF because its copyright status is unclear.

EDIT ######

Someone is saying "Wright MAYBE ad access to that address even if the domain wasn't in his name"

Please note that subject of that email: "Defamation and the diffculties of law on the Internet."

This subject comes from a thread that was taking place in those days on the "Security basics" mailing list, where Wright and Kleiman were interacting

A message from Wright: http://seclists.org/basics/2008/Mar/144

Kleiman's reply to him: http://seclists.org/basics/2008/Mar/147 (it's an interesting read, it tells a lot about the relationship between the two)

As you'll notice, in that very thread Wright was using his usual address @bdo.com.au

How likely is it he'd use a different address for an email with the same subject in the very same day?

Everyone is quite exited for the new developments in Bitcoin. I am as well. However, it's important to keep in mind that this technology is still being developed and changes are still being made. If you are running a lightning node, these changes will require you to close all of your channels and reopen new ones.

Intermittent power, how long for ASICs to start back up?

For an unplanned outage, where power just cuts out, and then comes back on, how long before the ASIC mining hardware is back to productively hashing again?

I know it will vary for each manufacturer (and sometimes, even for each batch / version), but in the ballpark, ... is it quick like 3 minutes, or is it like 20? And if it is longer, is it drawing full power during startup or only once it starts performing hashes?

Craig S Wright's email to Dave Kleiman is provably false

In the infamous "leak" published by gizmodo and supposedly outing Craig Wright as Satoshi, there is an email that - if true - would be a real bomb.it is dated march 12th 2008 and it reads:I need your help editing a paper I am going to release later this year. I have been working on a new form of electronic money. Bit cash, Bitcoin...You are always there for me Dave. I want you to be part of it all.I cannot release it as me. GMX, Vistomail and Tor. I need your help and I need a version of me to make this work that is better than me.Craig( http://bit.ly/2ow2idl )This mail wants to show that the early idea of bitcoin came from Wright to Kleiman, and not the other way around.Needless to say, it is extremely suspect.One thing I have found is that not only it is suspect, but it is provably false.The domain information-defense.com from which this email supposedly originates (the sender is craig.wright@information-defense.com ) was only registered by Wright on jan 23rd 2009, when he registered the Australian company "Information Defense PTY".BTW, this was just a couple weeks after the blockchain started, and this company is somehow the predecessor of the similarly named American company "W & K Info Defence Ltd" controlled by Kleiman and later passed back to Wright.The fact is, I believe "Information Defense PTY" is indeed related to bitcoin mining, but I think it's pretty likely that Wright forged that email in order to establish a priority over Kleiman.That domain wasn't his in march 2008.Gizmodo explains the problem saying:pointing to the likelihood that its registration lapsed and was later renewed, which would explain the discrepancy( http://bit.ly/2BVTG78 )but this just does not hold, in light of an historical whois searchOn Aug 25, 2007 the registrant was a "John W#####ck, 26 New Lane S####n, NY 11784-3304 US" and expiry date was 15-Mar-2008. (edited to protect privacy of previous owner)On may 27th, 2008 the domain was listed in a list of domains in pending-delete state: http://bit.ly/2ESNxvw domain probably expired, and on Jun 1, 2008 the domain owner was "eNom, Inc. on behalf of eNom, Inc. Customer TBD eNom Customer TBD eNom Customer (legal@enom.com)"Enom is a registrar, who had a "back-ordering" service for expired domains" this appears to be an ownership used by Enom for "domain tasting" ( http://bit.ly/2BVTGUG )Only on jan 23rd 2009 the domain was bought by Wright (presumably he got it from eNom) and shortly later archive.org shows a site for the first time: http://bit.ly/2ESNyQ6, I think that email is a provable forgery.For the skepticals: the historical whois of the domain can be ordered for $49 from domaintools.com . I am not going to publish the report's PDF because its copyright status is unclear. via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/2BVTHrI

$10 Billion Lawsuit Filed Against Craig Wright Over Stolen Bitcoin

Dave Kleiman’s estate just filed a claim against Craig Wright. The lawsuit was filed by Boies Schiller Flexner lawyers Devin "Velvel" Freedman (https://www.bsfllp.com/lawyers/velvel-devin-freedman.html) and Kyle Roche (https://www.bsfllp.com/lawyers/kyle-roche.html). It claims that shortly after Dave' death, Craig employed an elaborate scheme to steal between 550K and 1.1M bitcoins and other intellectual property owned by W&K Info Defense Research LLC - a Florida company Dave owned.

The complaint publishes documents evidencing a long history between Craig and Dave, including documents demonstrating their early involvement in Bitcoin mining. Interestingly, while the complaint discusses Craig’s claim to be Satoshi, it seems to really focus on evidence Craig and Dave mined bitcoin – as Satoshi’s identity is irrelevant to whether Craig stole from Dave.

Craig’s twitter silence is deafening...

Getting some new HP 1200W server Power Supplies today - noob here

So I'm upgrading to my first HP 1200W power supply. Long story short, I bought 4 as a package deal [all the platinum rated versions too!] and only really need 1, so I'll prb sell the other 3 on ebay or whatever] I know the rules of: 1. CPU power supply cannot be crossed with external power supply on a single card [i.e. each single card AND riser need to be plugged into the same power source] 2. Turn the external power supply on before the CPU power supply.

BUT - since I will not be linking them [at least for now] and be power cycling them manually, is their a set time limit you have to turn one on before the other? Or can you theoretically turn on your external power, wait 4 minutes, then power on your main CPU power supply?

And if anyone is interested in the other ones I have, I also have breakout boards and cables for them, can sell as a package deal. Just message me.

Amazing! Japan has become the Bitcoin capital of the world.

According to the latest data, the exchange of JPY and Bitcoin has increased to 63%, therefore Japan has become the largest Bitcoin exchange market in the world. Next is USD (19.87%), the third is KRW(9.38%), and the fourth is EUR(3.98%). Japanese are so crazy about Bitcoin this time...
