Don't know why you bother responding to these whack jobs round here no matter what you say or do the fools will be lined up in force to complain, ascribe ulterior motives to it, have some crazy conspiracy theory about it in short your in a no win situation so fuck them. Report back what you find and be done with the idiots nothing you say or do will change their minds short of them being there for the testing...

I put the testing off until tomorrow as I was not able to make it downtown today. I will be downtown tomorrow so it shouldn't be a problem.
Awaiting your report, Sir

ok. Everything makes sense now (almost )

Thanks for your explanations. So the number of submitted shares in time x defines the hashrate displayed ? Sometimes 4 nonces are submitted at the same time and sometimes there are zero new nonces up to six times in a row. Seems to be the reason why the rate "looks" not constant.

After running and observing the board for a while i have some questions. From time to time the connection times out or there are read (write) errors. The more backup pools i set up the more often that happens. The software disables then all backup pools for 30 or 60 seconds, even when they are up for sure. cgminer is running on the same machine and there is no indication that this is a network (bandwith) problem.
Is it possible to reset the hashrate counter after such a breakdown ? Or perhaps an auto restart function after a connection loss ? Hashrate seems fine 99% of the time. Sometimes it's stuck @160 or so MH/s... at less than 2% error rate @ 192 MHz. I have to restart the miner then and all works fine. Why is a FPGA hashrate less constant than a GPUs ? It goes from 160 to 220 sometimes.

What about the guys from BRP. They should be able to give you some support !? Well that's what i would expect for a 2k machine.

Yankee is vouching for this store and his reviews are bad. LOL. Avoid both people. Why does bitcoin attract the vermin.
BS ! Yankee has a good reputation here. It's a lot easier to write a bad review than to run a company...

This mine pooling business is becoming a real money printing machine for you, isnt it ? what do you mean ?

Keep up your work with BFL ! I hope that you can come up with enough proof to silence some people here.

Congrats Now turn off this million share block limit

We should be happy that Inaba does this whole test stuff.
|
|

Take it or leave it ! Mike does a great job with his coins. I trust him, if you don't, just stay away from his products. I have my coins and i'm very happy

yeah i would like to hear about your experiences.

I've added an entry on the How to Connect page for users of the Ztex FPGAs, and a link to the download page for the latest BTC Miner for those FPGAs in that section. Just got my first batch and so far they've been mining flawlessly for the last 18 hours, with better than advertised speeds. Anybody interested in a long term BTC mining presence should definitely check them out if they're in an area like me where the power costs prohibit GPU mining at the current price:difficulty ratios. You really can't beat 190-210 MH/s for less than 10 watts of power . Good to hear they didn't blew up @ "12V" . How is your reject rate compared to a gpu ? I see more rejects with the FPGA board. 5850s and 6670 over here.

What's going on ? Sad to see so many leave. F...ing shame

Guess it's still a game of wait and see.

--auto-gpu
cgminer will not assume you want it to automanage anything unless you tell it to
seem like that was missing.

...has to be over 70C. Just stop your fan to test it... Tnx for the information. I tried it out below 70C just to check and that did not work. Now everything makes sense.

Does the automatic temperature cutoff only work above 85 degree C and will it also work if you don't use cgminers fan and overclock settings ?
The thermal cutoff function kicks in at whatever temp you set. If you don't set anything, it defaults to 95 Celsius. The 85 Celsius threshold is (by default) when the fan gets cranked up to 100%. Did not work for me. cgminer does not touch fan speed unless you enable --auto-fan What about auto cutoff ? How do i get this to work ?
