Cant run more than 14 asic saphires on cgminer! They all run off MB so power is not an issue. Runs fine with 14 but if I plug in one more cgminer stops working! Any1 else had this problem?  You've got 14+ USB ports on your Mother Board? Even if you truly did I doubt that it would supply 7 AMP's to the USB Ports, unless it is USB 3.0. What Operating System are you using? Windoze XP limited me around 12 or 13 devices. Where WinVista goes up to 50 and Win7 goes up to 60. |

Many pools customise their block sizes, some with bullshit optimisations of zero transaction blocks either intermittently or always, and some with selective censorship of entities they don't like. Even if they don't customise their block size, the default in bitcoind is 750kb. Both ckpools (solo and kano.is) are using larger max block sizes and have mined blocks larger than 900kb in size.
How often is a block size that large needed? I doubt that every block has 900Kb+ transactions waiting to be processed. |

So my miners failed over from you pool to solomining.com and I found a block there with around 3.5 TH/s.
I should buy some lottery tickets.
Failover, good! |

The only thing your doing wrong is expecting to make a bunch of money. Those days are over. And the only way one truly made bunch of money is by holding on to low cost bitcoins and selling them when they were at $1200 USD.
So buy coins, hold onto them and wait/hope they go up in value.
Mine for fun if you need to.

is the pool offline?
Think so … Both my miners on two machines went south . What? you don't have failover setup?? |

The network broadcasts out the block change notification. Also your miner receives new work about every 30 seconds or so from the pool, if you use one.
Yes miners need to be really fast. That's why viable mining hardware creates hashes in the high trillions to quadrillions of hash's per second.

thanks all your advises guys , finally i decide give up build a pool it is hard to achieve  No, that's not the problem. The problem is there aren't many miners left to utilize a pool. The majority of hash power is owned by the hardware manufacture's. They run their own private pools. The people left who would use a pool already have an established set of pools that are known entities. Your just 3 years too late to start a pool. Maybe look into an exchange or service business that is Bitcoin related. |

A lot of things could have happened to show those nose dives, maybe this shot was taken during a time of some pool hopping
Pool hoppers never were at a Petahash level. |

nice donation to ckpool ads! For a moment there I thought you found another one  Not yet  Was that your donation? If so, thanks! So far everyone who found a block has donated 0.5BTC which has become a nice practice since the 0.5% fees barely do more than recoup the costs of running the server if only one block is found per month Why don't you use a standard .25 BTC fee instead of the %? Personally, I could care less if the fee was .5 BTC. The percentage captures a portion of the transaction fees too. |

@jonnybravo0311,
Thanks for the info. Your input made this thread worthwhile.
It's sad to hear the report though. I, as many, kept hoping that p2pool would be a much more viable option for miners. What do you think the probability of something coming out of the p2pool development that would actually be viable option? I would hate to see the idea just die.

Only been asked a Gazillion times in even more threads. Not too hard to find.
Edit: And with your level of message activity in these forums, I'm sure you have seen the arguments more than enough. So if you want to promote P2Pool just be honest and start a thread that promotes it instead of this bait and switch technique.
Wow you are really nice! I have been on this forum for a long time yes. But I didt check about p2pool. So yeah I still wonder why. Maybe next time link some btctalk thread instead of being a dick. Thanks Here are the two main reasons it isn't used more. 1. Only the top hashers have a chance of submitting a share that will receive a payment. Low end hashers, like myself, would rarely submit a share with a high enough difficulty to receive payment. 2. Your payment comes in dribs and dabs so your have a "bag of pennies" which will cost you in high transaction fees when you try to spend those coins. And if you are honestly asking for information, then I am sorry for my attitude in my initial response. If you were a newbie my response would have been more reasonable, but your not so I thought you were yet another traditional pool bashing p2pool proponent. |

Why don't u answer instead of being a mega dick ? Because this horse has been beaten to death and I can't believe he doesn't know the reasons. Which means he is just trying to drum up support for p2pool. Which is fine, just say so. |

I'm sure I read somewhere back in this thread that difficulty is adjusted depending on hashrate. How does this work if you use different rental rigs with different hashrate pointed at the same btc address?
It's adjusted per connection. So e.g. 4 rigs mining, each with their own connection, i.e. not combining them with a proxy, will each have their own difficulty calculated. Thank you I thought that might be the case . I thought thats we call Workers I think each connection as a worker You can have multiple mining devices/mining software instances all going to one worker. But each mining software instance is a connection AKA socket which is an IP Address and Port number combination. |

won 1btc so i've pointed about 300th for a few hours How did you "won" a Bitcoin? I stuck 0.04 on one of the gamble sites and dropped lucky Not too shabby. Good Luck |

So I come back on Monday, and the computer is froze. I restart, and I'm getting visual artifacts on the screen, and it freezes, usually at the login screen, sometimes it logs in, only to have more video artifacts, and freezes shortly after. I'm pretty sure I fried the video card. I'm assuming that the iMac must have really bad cooling on the video card, and it overheated. Aren't there any safety features to shut down the computer if the hardware is getting dangerously hot?
Diablo miner was one of the oldest miner's out there, so it probably didn't. That was why CGMiner was such a big deal, because it used the ADL libraries to monitor temps and would throttle or shut down the GPU when it reached the preset temps. But CGMiner doesn't support GPU's anymore since they aren't a viable mining device any longer. |
