Is the blockerupter prisma/tube not enabled in the windows binary download? When I run cgminer 4.9.0 it never detects the tube I have connected with a
CP2102 Uart. The option "bet-clk 25" results in "unrecognized option". I complied it myself in Mingw. This way detects it but I get LIBUSB errors the a crash.
This same setup works fine under Linux but due to hardware placement windows is the only option now, or the crappy controller using a proxy. Never have been
able to get this thing to hash under Windows 7 x64.
Anyone else encounter this? Did you install the WinUSB driver and set it as the default for your mining devices? |

Thanks for the reply , I would be running them from different up address, would this scenario help?
Thanks
Couldn't hurt. Especially if they were using different DNS servers or something to make the routes slightly different. Just try it and see how many transactions the different nodes relay. |

Hey All
So I want to help the bitcoin network..
I have downloaded bitcoin core.
It is currently syncing to the network.
Port 8333 is being ported to the server.
I assume this is all correct and i'm contributing .., would it benefit running more and more nodes of my servers that currently have little or no load? Or having too many in the same location doesn't benefit the network?
Cheers!
Once the blockchain has finished syncing then you will start getting more than 8 connections. At that point your instance can start relaying transactions. If you install more than one instance on your network, only one IP can have TCP Port 8333 forwarded to it and that is the only one that will relay transactions. So more instances won't really help at that point. |

I know this is a general question.
No, it's an alt coin question. You would do better posting in the alt coin forum. |

So tempted to spend 2btc on 5-6hrs mining @ 700Th
would use same money to longer mining time slower hash I would hold onto the 2 BTC. |

but I don't exactly see it that way because each mining node is competing against all the others.
There is no competition. Every hash found has an equal chance of matching or exceeding current difficulty, which is around 39.5 Billion. If there's no competition, then why am I not solving ALL of the blocks? Because you don't have 286541.40 Ths of hashing power. Call it what you want, but that is competition. That's the exact reason there are pools and hardware races for new technology. If your not solving a block, someone else is. If you want to think of mining as a competition then fine have it your way. But your descriptions that I've seen so far are not correct. Also you are not being harmed or losing anything by the initial 1024 difficulty before it adjusts down. I wish you luck in your competition. Take Care, Sam |

Besides this, more importantly, each hash (ie difficulty of 1) has the same probability of solving the block as 1/1024 of a miner hashing at difficulty of 1024 (accepted share with difficulty 1024)?
Only a difficulty share 39.5 Billion or higher will solve the block at this difficulty level. A diff 1 has no chance of solving a block as it doesn't meet or exceed the current difficulty, neither will a diff 1024. |

I noticed the pool starts off with difficulty of 1024 and then after a while mine drops down to one and then climbs up before stopping at 4.
The reason for the 1024 diff at start is so that a really high rate ASIC doesn't overload the pool before the auto-diff adjusts. And the reason for having the lower diff at all is so that you can verify with the pool stats what your approximate hash rate is to see if it match's, roughly, what your mining software is reporting. It has no effect on the chances of your finding a block. |

I noticed the pool starts off with difficulty of 1024 and then after a while mine drops down to one and then climbs up before stopping at 4. Realistically does the miner need to be able to have accepted shares at the 1024 difficulty before having any remote chance of solving a block.
No, your diff could be set to 39.5 Billion and you would have the same chance of finding/solving the block. |

How can I set difficulty for my antminer C1? It is just really frustrating that the difficulty never changes from 1024 so no best shares are ever shown.
Best share still shows up with 1024 diff, or any diff. from an earlier post on this thread, ckcolivias stated That's just an S1 driver design issue. It happens when the diff is exactly a power of two and is harmless and cosmetic only but of course doesn't fix your issue. Ah, I didn't know they used the same driver. |

Are there any pre-built linux distros of CGMiner with Gridseed support enable?
CGMiner doesn't support alt coin miners/ing. Did you check in the alt coin forum for a fork that supports this device? |

That's what I remember, along with a good amount of hysteria. I was trying to find a timeline with the past halving and price. That halving back in 2012 was the only one so far - and plotting it against price and hash rate doesn't really show it having any impact; Thanks Steve. Where did that graph come from? |

Probably the same thing that happened last time. 'The last time' was back in November, 2012 - well before the ASIC boom, and still during a rise in mining popularity. That's what I remember, along with a good amount of hysteria. I was trying to find a timeline with the past halving and price. |

Does support litecoin mining via cgminer 4.8?
After seeing possible options, I see no option using scrypt as oldest version!
All previous version lower than 4.0 has been removed!
Any feedback?
Sounds like you answered your own question. I think GPU and scrypt was discontinued around 3.8 or 3.8.2. From the Top Post FAQ
Q: Can I mine scrypt with FPGAs or ASICs?
A: No.

You can't buy new ones, can you? They aren't being made anymore.

|

 GPU Mining Yeah, those were the days. Kinda miss them. Not the noise though. |
