121  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL 50 Temp on: November 07, 2014, 04:16:29 PM
I was actually wrong, it running 85 degrees Celsius. I thought the temp in MultiMiner was Fahrenheit. So based on that, a little hot then?

Yes that is a little hot for them...my Singles used to run around 60 Celsius. I know when they were cooler they ran faster too!

Do you think removing the case would make a difference?

I just wanted to clear something up. Is the temp listed in the software Fahrenheit or Celsius?
124  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL 50 Temp on: November 07, 2014, 03:32:23 PM
[...] but how you affort to run it???

Maybe "someone else" is paying for electricity...  Wink

Yep, still living at home. Grandparents pay for electricity. I used to have two desktops in my room, put one of them away, electricity use-wise, they shouldn't notice a difference.

Thanks for the input.
125  Bitcoin / Hardware / BFL 50 Temp on: November 06, 2014, 11:38:53 PM
Looking to know what the normal operating temp should be on a BFL50? Right now its pushing 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Normal or high?
126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: MultiMiner: Any Miner, Any Where, on Any Device (Free, Open Source, Cross Platform) on: November 06, 2014, 11:31:59 PM
I just got a bunch of Antminer U2s, but I can't get multiminer to detect them. Any ideas? Also have a BFL 50GH/s which its not picking up either.

EDIT: Got the AntMiners working, had to go into Windows Device Manager and reinstall the driver there. Still looking for some help on the BFL.

Check the drivers listed here (just added BFL, missed that one before):

https://github.com/nwoolls/MultiMiner/wiki/Drivers#drivers

Excellent, got it working. Thanks.

Just a small suggestion (probably would be low on the list), but it would be nice to have a "Clear All" button in the notifications box that pops up where it says "Share(s) accepted for Bitcoin". I've had to sit and clear a few hundred entries in that box.

Maybe even better would be an auto clear where it has a max number of entries for the "Share(s) accepted for bitcoin" notifications (so they fall off after a certain amount of notifications), but keep the more important notifications in the box.
129  Bitcoin / Hardware / Power Supply for Antminer S1 and BFL 60 on: November 03, 2014, 11:55:57 AM
I'm looking for a single power supply to power an Antminer S1 and a BFL60. Suggestions?

The S1 needs about 400 watts and the BFL60 needs about 300 watts; clearly need a buffer range too, so I'm looking for something at least 800 watts.
130  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / LTC Pools on: October 31, 2014, 10:31:53 PM
I'm looking for suggestions on a LTC pool. I was mining BTC with a Intel HD 4400, but 1.) it's ridiculously slow at the current BTC difficulty, and 2.) The pool I was on raised the minimum difficulty so now I'm forced out of that pool with the Intel HD. I get about 13MH/s on the HD 4400.

And watch the Shift section randomly remove proofs of work for me. It'll go up to say 5534, then a second later back tick to 5498.

Like it says on the top of the page the updates multiple times per second are extrapolations. Real numbers are updated once per minute.

This means that if your hashrate drops, as an update from the server comes in your accepted number can go down. Extrapolation was too high.

If your hashrate increases, as a server update comes in your accepted number will suddenly jump up. Extrapolation was too low.


I dug through the HTML code just after I posted this and see what you mean. It's a javascript calculation based on the prior database pull and then a live call back to the database every minute.

I love that I can sit on this page:

https://bitminter.com/livestats/big

And watch the Shift section randomly remove proofs of work for me. It'll go up to say 5534, then a second later back tick to 5498.

At the start of this last "shift" I was on pace for doing over 7000 proofs, now I'm barely pushing 5900.

[...] when things are going normally. 

Define normal.

When this page https://bitminter.com/shifts lists an actual payment under the Pay/Hour at 1 TH/s column, instead of 0.
134  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Bitminter bitcoin mining pool - Pays TxFees, Merged Mining, Fair PPLNS rewards on: October 30, 2014, 05:06:52 AM
Will be adding another 1600 or so gh/s tonight, should be putting me at 4 th/s or so.

I sat on the phone for 30 minutes one day trying to explain to this other miner how PPLNS system works and i still never think he understood it.

Anyways, the pool is working great for me I think it made me about .65 BTC +/- in two weeks of running 2.3 TH/s. The payout is way better than any of the other larger pools I tried using.

Yay! Finally got 0.0000216 BTC for my 2 days worth of computing power. That what I normally make in 2 hours when things are going normally. 
135  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Bitminter bitcoin mining pool - Pays TxFees, Merged Mining, Fair PPLNS rewards on: October 29, 2014, 12:40:40 PM

Jeez... 24 hours+ and still nothing. Has this happened before were a block has taken this long to find?

Yes, many times. Nothing extraordinary here.

I'm honestly getting ready to jump ship and move to another pool.
136  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Windows 8-based miner on: October 29, 2014, 06:51:17 AM
I got a ~2.5GH/s CryptoRig HitchHiker NanoFury for about $25. Really too expensive for what it does, but... it'll do for now. Really at the current BTC price a viable miner would really need to be about $1 per GH/s, in my opinion.

When I get some cash I'll be going after some other stuff on eBay.

There is no problem.  Everyone's shifts look like that because it has been more than 10 shifts since we have found a block.  You need to read about how PPLNS works.  We get paid when the pool finds a block and it is based on our work over the last 10 shifts so if more than 10 shifts have passed since we have found a block there will be shifts not used to calculate our pay when we do find a block.

Jeez... 24 hours+ and still nothing. Has this happened before were a block has taken this long to find?

Well I've already got BTC 0.00000003.

This laptop is a throw away basically; don't care if it blows up, and I don't pay for the electric anyway (at least currently).

If I got an ASIC unit, I need something less than 50 bucks with a USB connection (no PSU sold separately either). Suggestions?  Not willing to spend more than that.
139  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Windows 8-based miner on: October 16, 2014, 05:41:05 PM
You can't mine with a HD4400, the OpenCL drivers don't work.  You're on a road to nowhere, and you've already run out of asphalt.



If you say so... switch to BitMinter; working fine now. HD4400 is OpenCL 1.2. Granted it's moving along like someone pushing a SUV, but it is working.
140  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Windows 8-based miner on: October 16, 2014, 02:02:03 PM
I'm on a piece of crap laptop, for the time being, so it's just got Intel HD 4400 graphics. If I'm not mistaken that's a GPU embedded in the CPU. Probably part of the problem. Unfortunately, that's all I have access to right now. My desktop is crapped out for the time being.

I got Multiminer installed, but when I try to start it I get "None of the Pools configured cab be used for bitcoin multiminer." I'm a member of Slush's Pool. I enter the log-in details correctly, but it won't start mining when I hit start, just shows that error message.
