This is what i got but i dont get it.

Ion is using his so there might be something else going on...

That's what i was thinking, why he can use it.

You can use the signature generated by Free-DC - http://stats.free-dc.org/projusertag.php?proj=bwcg&id=968083&theme=9

You can also try the allprojectstats.com site - http://www.allprojectstats.com/showuser.php?projekt=0&id=3448014

I think you can select your theme - for example - http://allprojectstats.com/sig3448014.gif

There are also other signature sites that might be accepted. I'm sure others here are more familiar with what's available.

edit: oops, just noticed you already have the free dc sig.

edit2: You can try searching on boinc signatures too

Nothing works

I think I know what' you're doing wrong. You must insert the sig with an IMG tag, not upload it as your sigpic. Do it like you're doing with the Free-DC sig.

My Athlon 5350 system uses 31w while BOINC'ing. Note that that is with a sleeping HDD besides the OS SSD and 2 case fans.

All what i do is: i go to signature after that in the box where it says Url and there i paste the link I got and after save, but than it comes the error that i posted before.

I just tried it with the snurk sig and it doesn't work for me either. I guess you're going to have to upload the image and then update it periodically, which sort of sucks. Of course you can alway pm wizzard or one of the mods to see why free-dc graphic sigs are ok but snurk's aren't.

Built a Kabini-5350 rig a couple of months ago. Finally plugged it in and it's crunching away and drawing 37 watts at the wall. All 4 cores are loaded up and it running at 29C. Be interesting to see what it will do 24/7.

Nice, I just got my power bill today and it's a doozy, so I've stopped crunching and am going to leave them off for 24 hours or so and see what that does to the meter.
Over $20 a day is a bit much for my household

What the hell you crunching on? Hell with 11 rigs for me it's about $5 a day / $150 a month to run them all. At $20 a day that would be $600 to $620 a month to run your rigs. You running 40 or so rigs we don't know about?

 

[Caring1]

I wish, that $20 a day is my household average that includes all power consumption.
I'm stumped why it's so high, so I'm cutting things down to see what affects it.
I will have them running for the challenge though.

 

[twilyth]

You should just be able to look at the TDP for the chips you're running to figure out what your power draw is. It's not always accurate but seems to give a good approximation for the couple rigs I've tested. For example the 2687w chips I think are rated at 150w each and the draw according to a kilawatt meter comes in at about 300w. The 2645 hex core chips that I recently retired are rated at 80w and the draw was around 150w.

Caring1 is in Australia, so they prob have much higher electrical rates than here in "Mericuh".

 

[Caring1]

Currently it's $0.25 kW/h

 

[twilyth]

Currently it's $0.25 kW/h

I feel you. I pay around 20 cents total which includes both generation and transmission fees. Given that the AUD/USD exchange rate is 77cents, we're probably paying about the same.

Hopefully with the steep decline in nat gas and oil prices we will get a break this year. I think most of the electricity in my area is generated by nat gas plants. But since power utilities are regulated it's anyone's guess how quickly the lower cost of fuel will get passed through to those of us sucking on the utility's teat - if at all.

That's why I would love to some sort of wind or solar installation just so I could feed juice back into the grid and lower my rates. The problem though is that we get a lot of overcast days. And even aside from that I would probably have to cut down the trees in my front yard, something I'd really rather not do. But if the cost of PV panels continues to drop the way it has and efficiency continues to increase, it might be worth doing in a few years.

 

[FireFox]

Wow 20$ a day Electricity is a lot, how many Machines are you running?

 

[Toothless]

20 minutes before I go to check in for the interview. I'll keep you updated.

UPDATE: So what happened was that I was given the wrong date. The person that called said today when it's actually next week.

 

[Arjai]

OK, I don't know a lot about this subject but, here is what I would like to do. I would like you all to tell me if it won't work, and then how to make it work.

I have one Hot Spot. I have a wireless card in my LappyTop and in This 'Ole Comp. I think I have a wireless USB Dongle, somewhere, that I remember not being able to get working on either of the Linux boxes.

So. If I use a Win 7 machine as the USB power source of the Hot Spot will it, Win 7, recognize it as an Ethernet source, like my LappyTop does (a win 8.1 machine)?

Next, If I have Internet access to one of my machines, Win 7, can I run a RJ45 to another box, Linux, as a Local network AND have the Linux box use the same internet access from the Win 7 box it is connected to? If so, can I put more boxes in Serial to use the internet from the one box with internet?

Do I need to buy a multi port to daisy chain from? I foresee up to 5 non WiFi boxes, both Linux and Win 7, running in the near future as crunchers and I cannot afford an expensive solution to this.

So, on the cheap, What to do?

P.S. I posted here because I didn't want to sully the Network Thread with such an obvious dumb shit question!

Thanks guys.


P.P.S. Perhaps someone, or 'ones, have some PCI wireless cards, 5 or so, one, or ones, would like to gift me?

 

[twilyth]

I've never actually done it but I think W7 lets you set connections up as pass throughs. When you go to create a connection, at some point it asks you if you want to let other people use this connection. It's a check box near the bottom of the window I think.

So with one wireless and one wired connection, you should be able to let one other computer connect via the wired connection. But for every rig down stream, you're going to need 2 ethernet cards.

In theory, you might be able to connect the ethernet port to a 4 port switch, but I have no idea if that would work.

edit: you might better off in the networking section. I'd give this post about a day here and if you don't get someone who actually knows what they're talking about (i.e., not me), then I'd post there. There are no stupid questions.

 

[Arjai]

There are no stupid questions.

I know. But over there, I would probably have a zillion replies that had nothing to do with my particular problem, then @Mussels would come in and close my thread because I called someone a pleeb. Then I would have some flame war and get myself banned for calling someone, something, in French. My favorite form of ridicule (I can think of no better way to let someone know, any clearer, what an ass they are except by making them look it up!).



P.S. I will be posting over there, soon, unless my Teammates come through! Help me NOT get Banned!!

 

[twilyth]

Well, I've been in sorts of situations you describe and as satisfying as it is to tell someone what you think, it's also possible to ignore the assholes. As a general rule, they WANT you to respond so ignoring them is pretty much the ultimate insult, plus it doesn't cost you anything in terms of time, effort or any negative consequences.

Anyway, getting back on topic, I didn't realize that things could that out of hand in a section like networking, but I stick mainly to wcg and sci. sections so I don't really know. If you feel that strongly about it, then give things some time here. A lot of people don't visit every day.

 

[Arjai]

I'm sorry. You most likely have forgotten me, or perhaps confused me with someone serious.

English is my Second Language.

I was born in Sarcasia, just north of Bloomington. So, being a very small area, and a very unique local dialect, often times I am misinterpreted. It's not your fault.

I generally should be more clear about this.



P.S. On second thought, it IS your fault.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Arjai I will pm you in a bit about usb wifi adapters. I have a few I don't need now and they work straight out the box with linux. They are what I was using when I just had a hotspot for internets.

You are turning into my personal supply.

Fortunately, after saying that out loud, you are suppling me with legal goods. Lest THAT be misconstrued by the Government snoops. We are talking about Consumer Computer Goods, being used to Crunch numbers for WCG.

Wow 20$ a day Electricity is a lot, how many Machines are you running?

We've got three computers and two Laptops running pretty much 24/7 but shutting them down hasn't made the meter spin any slower, i'm beginning to suspect a fault in the power box outside.

Be sure to check behind the garage for any freshly dug trenches. I had a neighbor "Borrow" my power for his Welder!!

I told him I would figure out a way to kill him, or he could pay me back. When I started tracking him, "Oh! I didn't know you shopped here!" He found a way to pay me.

I believe was you are describing is termed "internet connection sharing" - try googling that
