Ethermine actually pays out weekly regardless of balance. It's a mechanism to mitigate risks associated with a Nicehash type theft.
Edit:
Actually, only if 0.01 ETH or higher:
If your unpaid balance is greater than 0.01 ETH and you have not received a payout from the pool during the last 7 days your account will be paid out during the next payout round, usually after 5 - 10 minutes, independent of your configured payout threshold
Elfear, you must have something like 600MH/s? I'd say as an individual even that's quite high. It's really low for Ethpool though. It would have been ok with 600MH/s on Ethpool back in early 2017.
Good to know. Thanks for posting.
I'm a little less than that but ya, I'm definitely one of the minnows at Ethpool. Every time I'd get close to a payout I kept telling myself I needed to find another pool but then real life kept asserting itself. Kicking myself now though.
If you have a Coinbase account then you also have a GDAX account since Coinbase owns GDAX. You can log in there with your same username and password, and instantly transfer and funds to or from Coinbase at no charge. In GDAX, you can set a limit order to buy or sell (if selling, set it for a penny or more higher than the current price, or a penny or more lower if buying) and your transaction will have zero fees. Now there's no guarantee it will happen immediately, but that's the tradeoff for getting to set your own price and pay no fees. If it's just a penny off, you will usually get a buyer very quickly due to normal market fluctuations and that buyer is the one who pays all the fees. You can also transfer to or from your associated bank account from GDAX and that is free too.Man, the fees on Coinbase suck. Those bastards took a $1.49 commission to sell $20 of Ethereum!

I've been at Ethermine for a while now, pretty happy with theem overall. What's the deal with Ethpool? Why do you need a higher hashrate?
Ethpool is a Pool-based Solo mining, if that makes sense. The way it works is you must reach a certain credit level before you get paid a block. Yes, you have to wait until a block is made. If you solo it yourself, a system that makes 1 block in 4 months may depending on luck, sometimes get paid in 1 month, but sometimes it might take a year. By pooling it they reduce the variance.
The problem is when your hash rates are low. What happens when difficulty is increasing by leaps and bounds every day? Then the credit required will keep increasing. Then the percentage you have before it can be paid can actually decrease.
Those clips look interesting. Might have to consider that. I ended up just rearranging the USB cables in such a way that it pushes down a bit on the riser inserts so hopefully I should be ok.
Decided to rack it tonight. Didn't bother making holes to screw it in, it's not like it's really going anywhere, it's sitting on the L rails. So this is officially done and operational.
Now I can passively start looking for more GPUs if by chance I run across a good deal. But think I'm going to wait it out and see what happens. The shortage has to end at some point, hopefully.
Fits like a glove
The back is kinda bad as I originally was going to just have 3 fan holes but it was easier to mount the PSUs and motherboard facing back. Next custom case I will design it differently and more open. Probably do a motherboard tray that slides out, and the back cover will just be part of that assembly.
Overall quite happy how it turned out though. I will work on a fan controller for the front fans that can work via case ambient temperature, then swap those out for the more powerful ones I have which are 200CFM each. I also need to figure out how to get the card fans to run at 100%. According to my UPS I'm drawing 400w between that machine and my workstation, as they are both on same UPS so not too bad. I will need to get a bigger UPS when I start adding more cards.

Nice job!
Skimmed through that twitter post, along with the replies.
Looks like some infighting amongst employees at MEW.
Has anyone figured out how to get the blockchain to sync? I would much prefer to just do my transactions locally if I can. Is there also a web interface you can install on the blockchain node to make transactions easier?
Apparently, what happened is that someone who was brought in to do the MEW site awhile back finally jumped ship and formed their own company/site - MyCrypto. For whatever reason, this person decided to hijack MEW's Twitter feed and rename it. Someone thought MEW had been hacked. Hilarity ensued.
Are you syncing to an HDD or SSD? Even versions of geth prior to 1.8 can sync to an SSD, or potentially to an HDD if you use large --cache settings from the command line. Allegedly geth 1.8 fixes a lot of the problems with excessive writes to the storage target (which were kinda hard on SSDs, mind you). I have yet to test it myself.
Regardless the latest Ethereum Wallet should sync okay for you. You need to have the wallet file in the correct directory for geth/Ethereum Wallet to find it, though.
