Perhaps still no PCB to test it with. 1 week and half more. Let's see if they will delay again.
PCB is the easy part... they can have these out within a week usually. |

Yes, this is very good news. The next thing for them to do is start hashing with the chips. And yes, if leakage is lower than expected that means higher GH/s/w or higher overall OC capabilities. So long as the chips work and don't need to be respun, I'm guessing at this point we're a week or two away from volume production. @HashFast: GN chip bringup - commands going in and responses coming back out. It's alive! Looks like we're probably good to go. |

Seriously, packing peanuts jammed between the boards. Mine have been running for almost two weeks now without interruption

01110011 It's very clearly ASCII text, because if you convert it you get: bridr eee!slsakp ieantdl ums It appears they used a script to upload all transactions at exactly the same time, which makes ordering the ASCII letters difficult. Can anyone decipher this message? |

6.5 BTC seems like a decent price for an in-hand saturn. roi would be approx 2.5 months.
I paid $6k for 400 GH/s from bitfury that was delivered at the end of last month There's no way I'd pay $7k for a saturn now Because there is excessive demand right now for ASICs doesn't necessarily mean that paying exorbitant amounts for them is wise If the price of BTC falls to $250 tomorrow, you might miss that $7k you could have had today that you just offered |

no
what do you think the price should be on a saturn? 5 BTC |
|
|

Fun fact: +300% (a quadrupling) is the maximum difficulty adjustment possible. This is enforced by the bitcoin protocol. +400% is the max at once I read somewhere a while ago. Yup, it's in the source code. |

5 BTC, I'll pick it up from your house.

It's not a joke. It's making my transactions take longer and cost more, which is frankly irritating.

Placed an order, will let you guys know my experience.

If you don't want to do the backup again the easy thing to do is to just send all your coins to one of your first used addresses at the end of the day too, since that address is still in your backed up wallet.

Hi Dave,
Happy (belated) Thanksgiving!
I received my RMA the other day.. thanks for that! I have a slight problem though. While waiting on the RMA request, I have found 3 more H cards that are likely bad.. they drop to 0 Gh shortly after starting the rigs.
They weren't acting up like this at first, but I feel like it wasn't my fault. I have had two box fans and two 120mm fans blowing air on them, and I also have an A/C that keeps the room under 74 degrees. I also have some electrical tape holding the cards in place, so I do not think the loss in Gh is due to them wiggling free from the fans either.
I was wondering if I would be allowed to RMA these cards as well? It would certainly be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ch
I had this problem and it was from card wobble. Problem solved by jamming packing peanuts between cards at the end (be careful not to obstruct airflow). Now I'm golden 24/7 |

Looking for someone willing to trade BTC at spot price (CAVirtex 24h average) for gold/platinum at spot price. I have the BTC.
Escrow through a trusted member of the forum like John K if by mail.
Let me know what you have. Prefer 1 oz gold maple leafs.

That is what the community liaison comes to talk about at the end of the day Wednesday? This, after posting on Friday that the substrates (the one item holding everything up and causing a couple months of delays) are supposed to have arrived on Monday?
I e-mailed them, they said they'd get back to me when they got results. Haven't heard anything else. Want me to ask them something? PM me. |

cgminer already supports HashFast ASICs. New version: 3.7.0, 4th November, 2013
New drivers, lots of code updates, new features, lots of bugfixes, major upgrade.
Human readable changelog:
- Driver for Hashfast ASIC hardware.
- Merge hashfast driver
Drivers are on github. https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/driver-hashfast.cWell, that confirms USB access, which will be nice. |

pnd
the coin will be 51%'d by a large litecoin miner if anyone actually uses the suggested transaction confirmation time of less than one minute
but probably cryptsy doesn't... which defeats the entire point of the coin.

I'm also wondering, how they're doing a 20nm ASICs?! Intel is doing 22nm CPUs (haswell) now, and bitfury is doing better (efficient) 55nm ASICs that KNC's 28nm ASICs.
@KNC, Some explanations please..
TSMC is producing 20nm right now for Q1/Q2 2014, although I think the company only expects a few mobile chips out for Q1... http://www.extremetech.com/computing/171362-qualcomm-announces-the-snapdragon-805-an-arm-chip-ready-for-a-4k-worldQualcomm is sampling its new ARM chip for partners right now, and expects consumer devices to arrive in the first half of 2014. After conquering a new generation of smartphones and tablets, Qualcomm sees the Snapdragon 805 as a natural choice to power Ultra HD 4K TVs. TSMC has previously said that its 20nm node will be ready some time in the first quarter of 2014, but we remain pretty skeptical. Realistically, we won’t see commercial quantities of the Snapdragon 805 until TSMC has all of its 20nm wrinkles ironed out. More realistically I would guess Q2. |
