ooh sorry, mean between 190Gh/s - 201Gh/s, but often under 200Gh/s, right??
how about 0.25 btc, I will take 3 pieces.

I doubt he will go to .25...for that price I'd take at least ten!

Be careful you might end up with them Smiley ...they were just a little over that price in fiat a few weeks ago.  I bought several from Bitmain in the sub $180 range then.

I guess that's where I misunderstood the use of a pool.  I didn't realize the miner knows when it solved a block.  I thought the pool distributed the work and determined if a block was solved.  The use of shares was just there as a measurement of how many times a miner submits solutions based on certain difficulties.  If a share was submitted that solved a block, the pool would then make the announcement.  Guess I've just been in lala land about this.

Well I supposed pools could vet miners really carefully like coin base does.

But I don't think miners want to send in id proof of location yada yada yada.

 While the solo fork option stops the attack many miners want the steady .12btc a day that  3x 1th machines bring in on a pool.

 they don't want to go 6-7 months at a time to hit a block.

I am not liking that so far the only thing to stop a bad luck attack is a solo fork option.

I suppose I could get 5 friends with a total of  3th each   we could all solo mine on a fork provided by btcguild or bit minter  or eligus    it should take the 15th about 6 weeks to hit

a block, but with bad luck that 15th could go 18 weeks easy.

This is why if you offer the solo fork as a pool op you take the risk off the pool and put it on the miner.

I am too small of a miner to really worry. 2th  for btc and 25mh for ltc.   if the pools offer a fork I put 10% in the fork and still mine merged with 90%.  And I hope for the best.

This needs to be solved by some clever pool op or mining will suffer a lot.


So I get you wanting a solo fork for pooled mining.  I just can't see the benefit.  Is it so the small miners don't need to keep the block chain on their system?  I also understand your gambler's analogy.  The craps table is my weakness Smiley  I've set up eloipool on one of my computers to run and mine some to it for that long-shot payoff.  Can you elaborate more as to why solo pools vs. private pool/bitcoind?

Also, having now caught up on the 6 or 7 pages of reading, is the 'simpleton version' of this that the person was submitting shares that were not real and therefore everyone was getting proportionally lower payouts?  And if that's the case, isn't that a flaw in our pool software design? If he was withholding block solved notification, would that matter? Isn't there the risk someone else would solve the block while he waited?  For myself that does not seem to have an in depth understanding of all this, there appears to be a lot of finger pointing (and probably rightfully so), but another piece of the puzzle is missing for it to click in place.

I'm sure you saw this when you linked it, but if not, Provident Metal's buy price is only $12.xx.

Has anyone bought from this website? They are selling a 1TH/s miner for 1.5btc
http://dragon-miner.com

I had a buyer in St. Louis point out that site.  Said his friend was going to order one. I'll post again, if he ever receives it.  I'm calling scam as one of those to good to be true deals.

I received a Dragon Wed and for the past 2 days it has shut down after being on for several hours.  It's in a server room, so staying cool doesn't seem to be the issue.  Once I unplug the PSU and plug it back in, it fires right up.  Is that a sign of a bad PSU?  It's one of the 1200w PSU.

Is there a quieter 120mm fan that can be swapped out and provide as much airflow?

Time to upgrade.


The wife.

Datacenters where this stuff belongs really unless you can tuck it away unnoticed to your wife. I had the same problem with FPGA's ahahah glad to see that women world wide won't stand for fan noise.

Thanks for the chuckle....That upgrade would cost a heck of a lot more than a datacenter.

How much are you asking?  Looks like shipping would eat up any value.

If they're the 4 blade models, anything under 130CFM will cause the boards to overheat and shut down. I learned that lesson myself.

Wow, is that 65cfm each or 130 each?  I'm not sure I can gain anything with that kind of air movement anyways.  Guess I'm going to have to load up at work.

Li,

Please see PM.  I have issues with 2 of the 4 units received today.  Thanks.

Hi,Luke. are there any api docs about Eloipool?  Grin
There's no API, so no.

Luke-Jr,

By chance would you know off the top of your head what could be causing my target issue posted a couple above?

Update: Nevermind, found out the var diff part was not in the master that I pulled.  Works like a charm now.  Big thanks to Polyatomic for pointing me in the right direction!
1237  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Antminer S1 solo mining, how? on: June 11, 2014, 01:20:35 AM
bgi yea that's the problem though....I've got 11 of these things and if just one floods the client machine there's no way I'd get all 11 to work.  I have scoured the internet multiple times and just can't seem to find a good solution.  It seems strange too given that in the beginning solo mining was all there was and lots of folks tout all the benefits of decentralized mining, etc. but to do it with anything more than a few USBs is such a nightmare.

I agree.  I'm hoping(wishing) that bfgminer will one day a built in pool ability and all we'd have to do is supply the db and bitcoind. Although it has so many features, it might already have it in it. Smiley
1238  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Antminer S1 solo mining, how? on: June 10, 2014, 12:29:50 AM
I have all my S1's solo mining fine against just the standard bit coin-QT config and do not seem to have any issues… Is there a reason why the same steps do not work for the S2 ? as soon as I config the S2 and restart, the thing starts beeping and will never start hashing against bit coin core ? is there extra steps for the S2 ?

You are my hero if this is true because i can't get my S1's to solo for shit.  I have 4 BE Cubes that work flawlessly but cannot get the S1's to work.  I would love to see a screen shot of one of your S1's Status page..maybe it will light bulb me into figuring this out.

I am also trying to setup my own pool but that looks like a bitch too in Windows and I haven't gotten up to setting up ubuntu again yet.


edit:
tried running the wallet in server mode on a faster computer and now I'm even more confused because the S1 is doing something that I thought was not possible.
The Getworks for my local wallet are skyrocketed...46,450 in under 20 minutes.
Still no Accepted or rejected shares and the Last Share time is never.

The really weird thing is that it looks like it's also connected to the other two pools I have configured and one of them is Guild, which I am showing 23Ghs at right now and submitting shares.  I thought they couldn't connect to multiple pools at the same time but how is it possible for my S1 to be throwing 23ghs to Guild and the rest to parts unknown?


Sounds like you have it running correctly.  If your bitcoind (qt) can't supply work fast enough, it gets some from other pools.  Mine did the same thing when I tried using just bitcoind.  That's why I set up a pool.  I haven't got brave enough to run more than a few s1 units on it yet to play around with, but it seems to be working.

are these dragon 1T stable? compared to an S2 how do they fare?

Mine are very stable.  1.01-1.05T  24/7.

There's a couple different threads on setting up a private pool using eloipool.  I was just able to get it set up and running. It still needs a couple tweaks, but for internal it seems to be feeding my 12 Anminer S1 just fine.

Here's the links I used:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158105.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495542.0

They both will get you 95% there.  Just be sure to watch and change where your directories are located.
