The faster blocks make sense though if you want to protect yourself from Earth miners (see discussion in their forum under "Evil Earth Miner Scenario". Except it does nothing to protect you... Earth just needs more hashrate, and their blockchain trumps Mars', no matter how delayed. The retargeting is similar to 540 block coins, like Terracoin. Imitating a scamcoin which has had problems as a direct result of the change, is not the best idea  Regarding the coin supply: it aligns with the departure of the Marscoin blockchain to Mars: Why is this a good thing? I'd think it make more sense to have most of the coins mined on Mars itself, not most on Earth... |

Awesome idea, and justifies the creation of an altcoin... but Awful parameter selection: - scrypt is a proven failure.
- There is no demonstrable benefit to faster blocks.
- There is no clear standard for a "Mars minute" with which to define block time in (I'd question if this unit even should be defined).
- Difficulty retarget is probably too fast and will allow luck to influence difficulty a lot.
- Why change total coin supply?
Additionally, it would really make sense to try to address the shortcomings of Bitcoin with known solutions, in any new altcoin. I don't see any evidence of that here..  |

I just wanted to find out what happens to old addresses no longer used for mining? Do their balances get distributed to the pool after a certain amount of time?
I'm just asking because I was mining on 2 separate addresses and have moved to one address after finding out how to register different workers on tone account and have an outstanding balance on the old address.
I know from the support page that it's not possible to have shares moved from one account to another, but I would like to donate the balance to the site admin instead. Is it possible to sign a message with the address to allow the transfer of the shares to the site admin or the pool or will that happen automatically after a certain period of time?
No. It will be paid out after some time. |

What can be the prob, that bgminer (3.10.0) running on a w2k8 r2/win7 machine doesn't found my 2 bifury's (cgminer does it).
If cgminer sees them, that means you Zadig'd it (which breaks the real driver). You'll need to undo that (somehow) to get it to work properly again. |

Any chance of having BFGminer on BAMT? Been trying to install all day without success.
Unfortunately, BAMT died with GPU mining. The last release, 0.5, was nearly 2 years ago. If you can figure out where to get the 0.6 beta, it had BFGMiner, but the version is ancient by now |

Trying to get a X6500 going starting with BTC will change bitsteam for something else once I have it working on BTC.
-S x6500:auto
did not find anything
-S x6500:serial=A5VNUHUE
-S x6500:A5VNUHUE
-S x6500:\\.\COM5
all give

did copy a bitstream into folder and renamed it to

I already have completed (untested) code for the Monarch over USB. I plan to begin on PCI-e when I get back from the Bitcoin conference in Miami. Note PCI-e mode might require Linux 3.6+ for VFIO support. |

So, has anyone ben able to use BFGminer 3.10 in OpenWRT to mine with a antminer S1? Only U1 is supported by 3.10, sorry. S1 support is on our todo list, though! |

I get a little better performance on my GPU miners running scrypt with cgminer than I could tweak out with bfgminer.
When I switched to BFGminer, I also noted the big performance differences, but then found I was able to get the same performance once I used optimized .bin files again, as I was using in CGminer. I know NWoolls has mentioned this to Luke, and I'm able to reproduce it on all 45 mining rigs. Where did the optimised .bin files come from? |

I do use bfgminer on my RaPi .. ;-)
But for the Blade, I Need the Proxy.
Does not work with - cu & -cp
It just does not connect with this command line:
proxy.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st -p 3334 -cu MY_ADDRESS -cp x
BFGMiner supports blades too. |

Could someone PLEASE tell me, how to configure the mining_proxy.exe on Windows to use with eligius and an Block Erupter Blade  Right now, I try to start it with an .bat file with: mining_proxy.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st -p 3334 But it just does not connect :-( In the Blade config i have set the IP & port to the Win System and use my Wallet address:0 as user:pass Thanks!! I think most people use BFGMiner now? (README.ASIC) |

I'm surprised you paid this out from mature blocks? (Or is it just coincidental - some people will get mature, some immature). It's impossible to pay from immature coins. They're essentially invalid until 100 blocks deep. Eligius in the past has always paid from immature - which then shows up in your wallet and matures 12 hours later before you can use it. This is the first time I've seen a directly mature payout (in 6 months). I think you're confusing generation with paying from existing coins. |

I accidentally add 1 letter in front off my payment address and to my surprise it has been payout.
Thank you.
I don't think this is likely, the system isn't designed to cope with that... |

You did not mine BTC 500 in 6 days. If you really owned that much hashing power you'd use your own pool.
Nobody in the world will blindly trusts another entity with $70'000 per day. In ordinary circumstances, Eligius doesn't really require miners to trust it (certainly not that much). |

Sorry guys, small delay. It'll be.. two more weeks.

I can get my AMU to mine at ~ 400Mh/s using cgminer. Zadig driver overwrite/installed.
I can't get BFGminer to recognize it. (Windows XP SP3 dual core Dell w 3GB ram)
Running bfgminer -D -d? -T from command prompt shows the device but does not recognize it:

Yes |

I don't think it's worth your time to bother with the scamcoins: remember you need to maintain a working full node for them, and IIRC the ones with merged mining are all buggy and a pain to keep running (besides namecoin, anyway).
That being said, if you guys want to setup a bounty on something, I will of course consider it.
Unrelated note: I still don't have an Avalon myself to work with, so if anyone is planning to get rid of theirs, please let me know...
