141  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin will collapse in price. on: May 02, 2014, 02:44:47 AM
LOL!!!

Just starting to read this thread.....

"Death penalty for mining???" Hahahahaha. Seriously dude, you need to stop watching so much TV crap. Well, maybe if you are North Korean we understand why you shd be worried about it.

Merchants are increasingly adopting bitcoin and there's a huge hole Grand Canyon size in your points regarding merchants: the tipping point comes when merchants start paying other merchants with bitcoin. So twofold effect: merchants are driving most of the adoption and the value chain bitcoin integration will further reduce the need to cash out to dollars.

What we mostly need is a consumer-driven killer app but they are already some initial bridges with fiat: bitcoin-enabled debit cards.

Hi,

I thought the maintenance was over: for more than 3 hours 3 of my miners are down again. This is concerning. :-/

One of my miners has been down for 7 hours. They probably are doing maintenance by sections since the rest of my miners seem up.
144  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL Experience on: April 24, 2014, 08:06:04 AM
I bought a broken 30Gh/s unit locally here in Australia. It was clearly water damaged (maybe just for being outside) but I had bought it for $80 taking a punt that I may be able to fix it.
I was considering JTAG'ing it but then contacted BFL on a whim.

They replied overnight and stated that they'd fix it, even though I said I took it apart, bought it second hand and broken at that.
It's now back in Australia with return postage paid (I just paid to ship it there) and should have it in the next day or so (Aust. Post being stupid).

Full credit for BFL for standing behind their products and at the cost to me so far, that machine will surely be profitable before long. (yes I know, it's slow. but I am just having fun with it for now).

So bottom line, that would have to be the best customer service hands down that I have ever received. 

Providing a warranty for an existing product that already has been built is absolutely no big deal.
Although you had a great experience and that's awesome, your case is no bigger  than a grain of salt in the sea of constant, severe and shocking failures and mess that BFL left behind.
So in the greater picture, no, the world will still remember BFL as the worst ASIC mining company ever in mankind history, including customer experience.

Just to put things in a bit of perspective ;-)
145  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Multi Signature Address Script and Escrow Service on: April 17, 2014, 02:14:20 AM
BTW, does anyone know how to import a multi-signature wallet (which requires at least 2 out of 3 keys for basic multi signature)?

I've seen this command in the console but it seems to accept only one private key! How to specify the second, third, etc??

importprivkey <litecoinprivkey> [label] [rescan=true]

Anyone?
146  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: [GUIDE] BitFury Miner Support/Tuning on: April 16, 2014, 04:44:55 PM
so one of my boards recently stopped working (slot 3, I have other boards in slots 1,2 5,6 & 9,10) - I tried reseating it several times and tried it in other slots (slot 6 and slot 13) with no effect. no hashrate, no heat, no detection in the stats.log file.

looking at it theres no visible problem. a bit of dust had accumulated between the inductor and the TPS53355 possibly (but not likely) shorting 2-3 of the pins ont he upper side of the chip. I dont think this is the problem, but its theonly lead i have

any easy troubleshooting techniques?  I have a spare TPS53355 chip I could actually drop in if that is the issue, but i dont have the fine-point soldering skils to do that myself. (contracting out that task might work, but not sure what to look for in the yellowpages (Toronto, Ontario) to find someone capable of doing it.)

any ideas? I did not have a miultimeter handy at the time so no voltage info yet. I might have to wire up a 12V/GND to the board to check at home



Possibly something wrong with the Pi or PSU (sometimes they fail if too close to 100% load)?

Anyone has seen the repeating message "New proxy version available  Please update!" when checking their proxy process in the miner?

Any process to back it up and update it to a new version?

Went flawless. Thanks!
148  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: LIGHTNINGASIC SCRYPT ASIC miner ready. BTC+LTC ASIC miner; LA1THS, stock ready. on: April 14, 2014, 08:44:10 AM
Does anyone see a trend here?

Some of the first bitcoin ASICs were 333MH (bfl doesn't count) and were sold at $100.  10 months later and they now are not even worth $1.
Then along came the 5GH block erupter blade and were sold for $500-$600.  8 months later and they are barely worth $20.

The prices for these scrypt asics are way too high.  At best these would ROI by the time Titans come out.  That is if we are lucky and things stay the same.  If we go by history profitability has been declining 100% every month since December.  If and only IF we are so lucky for things to stay the same, by the time that 6 months is up they will be useless and all that time/effort would have been for nothing.

To be honest I don't know if I'd even pay the $1200 I quoted earlier.  $1000 each and that's a maybe.

This is not to say your products are not good, they are indeed spectacular and 6 months ago I would have happily paid the full $3000 price tag for each unit.  Actually I probably would have paid 4-5k for each.

And when you think about it, it's basically a heatsink enclosure with 2 circuit boards.  I bet it doesn't even cost more than a few hundred bucks to produce.  There is no need to assrape the public with these outrageous prices.
the problem is : 1, coin price crashed. and i warned all my clients, and even here i warned all member of bitcointalk forum. 2, the difficulty riseed too fast.
in order to help whole coin system, LIGHTNINGASIC are trying best to provide good miners, good price. and delivery in time. we dont do more then 2 monthes pre-order.
i am trying best to talk with Gridseed to give more discount. USD1000 for LA3m is reasonable now. and it will be good time to enter mining biz.
buy coins or buy miner, its good timeing now.

Production cost has NOTHING to do with difficulty. This still doesn't  address the point made before: "And when you think about it, it's basically a heatsink enclosure with 2 circuit boards.  I bet it doesn't even cost more than a few hundred bucks to produce.  There is no need to assrape the public with these outrageous prices."

150  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: OpenSSL Heartbleed bug in Bitfury's Raspberry PI???? on: April 09, 2014, 01:31:13 AM
As you might know, openssl libraries based on 1.01 and 1.02 beta releases are apparently infected with the heartbleed bug. This is the bug that allows snooping and steeling of information over SSL connections.

Does anyone know whether it's safe to upgrade/recompile the openssl libraries that came with the Raspberry PI distributed by Bitfury???
What's the simplest/safest method to do so??

I just typed openssl version -v and it definitely shows version 1.0.1e, which seems to carry the bug as explained here!!!:

Check out http://heartbleed.com

This is a CRITICAL topic!!! Please advise!!!


I've passed this info along to our devs and will get a response shortly.

-Jason

Well I did update my overall Raspbian using this command line, which apparently does include any OpenSSL updates as well:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

However, now when I run cat /run/shm/.stat.log it's now showing even the slots where there are no H-Cards with tons of errors from B-F.

Previously, this file simply ended at A and didn't gave me all those errors.

Any thoughts?  Sad

UPDATE: It seems the problem went away by itself so no more nasty extra lines in that file. :-)

153  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip on: March 12, 2014, 05:26:12 PM
My fan is going full blast even when going from a cold start. How do I fix this? My other miner's fan runs much quieter.

How do I fix this? I checked the connection and it seems that all cables are properly set in the connector end (but not entirely sure). I pushed the fan cables into the connector to see if that'd help but it didn't

Please let me know! Thx
154  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: BitcoinWisdom.com - Live Bitcoin/LiteCoin Charts on: February 27, 2014, 06:43:05 PM
Since bids increase price and asks reduce it, shouldn't bids be colored green and asks red in the depth graph???
It looks a bit counterintuitive with the current colors.

I guess it's currently intended to mean how easy is for price to go up or down? Thank you.
155  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Qt Bitcoin Trader [Open Source secure trading client for Mac/Windows/Linux] on: February 04, 2014, 04:42:51 AM
It seems like the zero profit price value when selling Litecoin for the LTC/BTC symbol in BTC-e exchange is incorrect. It displays values less than 4% than the 'Price per coin' value even though the transaction fee is only 0.20%!!

For example for a 0.02695 sell price it indicates a zero profit price of 0.02584 (That'd be more than 4% fee!!). How so?? Shouldn't it be 0.02689 (0.02695 x 0.998) since the transaction fee is 0.2% ?? 

156  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip on: January 30, 2014, 12:51:36 PM
Are there any newer boards made by Antminer or are they still selling the same S1 180 Gh/s miners?

 Waiting on delivery will update you guys once I receive  it will update you guys on it .

WTF told you they are taking Paypal?? They only take either credit cards or bitcoin.

At this rate you'll never pick up a decent market share of exchanges.
What the heck are u doing in some much smaller countries Huh BTC is tolerated already in CA. Talk to Coinbase for some assistance. It's taking forever.  Geesh!!!
