What are your pool settings, PPS PPNLS, and var diff or static diff? And what pool address are you using to connect? (don't post the private address if you're using that)
I'm mining to btcguild ppnls var diff, to the public pool address stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 Yeah change your diff from default to 256. I know this is a short sample, but here is around 30 mins of var diff vs min: default diff 452.95 GH/s 235916 (99.74%) 256 / 768 / 364 min 256 470.14 GH/s 203008 (100.00%) 0 / 0 / 0 They run the ridiculously slow flushwork not just on new blocks but also on new diff work - when the diff changes I get a lot of rejected shares on cgminer. I suspect this would be compounded by fast block finds, like on p2pool, and on miner restarts when the work starts at diff 1. |

any idea how screwed I am with 128 chips? Looking at mining calculators looks like I'll only make $700 in a year, am I way off or is the calculator flawed? http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/e41625025cI doubt the percentage will remain 100%+ per month, but im new to this, any updated predictions guys? It won't make you a single dollar. The miners makes bitcoins! Its an important difference.. that some people seems to neglect. If you believe the coins will go up, invest in coins. If you belive you can buy mining hardware for less than cost of coins, buy mining hardware. It seems according you your calculation, if you remove extra fees and the 2% silly mining pool fee, will make a total of 7.44 btc, not including power costs. The value of those coins, are worth as much as they are worth when you sell them and only then. From the looks of the calculation, your last month of mining will be in the month of January, if difficulty by then hits 1361MM you will only make 0.5BTC, which should be similiar to your electricity cost pending on the value btc/usd at that time. Then again, if the difficulty increase slows off which some people dont think it will, you might make more, maybe 10BTC until then or that it happends later that hardware becomes obsolete. Or , that you are able to sell it on ebay for a lot more than buyers are willing to pay for it here while you have already mined with it for a while. On ebay, dont show TGB link, only show this link http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/, which does not calculate difficulty updates.. Well said. Mining equip I buy is in BTC and my ROI calculations are in BTC. If I'm not getting a return in BTC then I'm buying coins instead. The calc here is much better http://btcinvest.net/en/bitcoin-mining-profit-calculator.php |

This may actually just be a "feature" of the crappy KNC design. Here is mine: 479.51 GH/s 42,480k (99.34%) 59392 / 125k / 223k Strange, considering I know quite a few KNC units that mine on BTC Guild since day 1, and have only just heard this now. Are you two running the latest firmware? Was it doing this *before* the latest firmware? Multiple pools configured? Others may not be looking, I wasn't. I didn't even realize I had so much other shares until dhenson brought it up. My hash rate goes between 470 and 530 and my accepted % is good, and I'm getting paid, so is it even an issue? I have the latest firmware. Don't know about previous versions. |

sure you're right it's not that the hashrate fall down to zero and stay there for 10 mins.
it's a lot less problematic than this.
the problem is that it happens not only when your pool find a block, but every time someone find a block, be it one of the million active pools or a solo miner. this happens quite frequently.
Actually this happens about every 10 mins, well more like 7 with the hashrates lately, on a regular pool or solo mining. P2pool issues 30 sec work, so the effect is much greater. It would still benefit all miners if they handled work restarts more efficiently, and every little bit helps with current hashrate increases. I think it flushes when new diff work is sent also, so setting a static diff on the pool helps, instead of letting the pool adjust the diff. |

still using btc guild and thinking should i change to Eligus
any idea?
idea - lets go to p2pool Anyone mines on P2Pool?
many ones  have i have some suggestion of P2pool? i have about 1500ghs atm find some suggestion here - http://elizium.name/faq.htmlKNC products don't work well with p2pool. They didn't design work restarts properly, you will lose a lot of work and money. If you have a KNC product, and want to use p2pool, contact them and ask them to fix it. |

Anyone know what 'other' errors are in the btcguild dashboard? I'm down to 400GH/s and about 1/4th of the total shares are ending up in the OTHER error column.  What miner are you using, it's SEVERELY broken. You're submitting 500k+ shares that didn't come from BTC Guild. Your 500k+ "Other" shares are Unknown Work, meaning you're returning results to work that was never given to you, either because your miner is spitting out corrupted data/unpadded results, or submitting work from a different pool. This may actually just be a "feature" of the crappy KNC design. Here is mine: 479.51 GH/s 42,480k (99.34%) 59392 / 125k / 223k |

Any idea how much shipping them to US would be?

so it is then possible for dhenson to be hashing 400GH/s while the other 100+GH/s are mining on the other instance wasting away???
I'm not sure how ASICs would handle it, someone here should know. But GPU's just split the work, it wasn't a huge deal, caused some issues, but what he is seeing is a very large percentage of work not recognized by the pool as coming from the pool. Hard to troubleshoot anything without OS access - get the thing somewhere else would be my suggestion. EDIT: I tested running 2 instances of cgminer, it gave me around 140Ghash each, so a very large drop from the 530Ghash for one instance. |

Well that sucks. The web interface I have has the option to apply/restart on the pool config and another restart miner on security page. But I just ssh in and do it. My pool info was all screwed up in the conf and it was starting 2 sessions when I hit apply/restart. But the security tab restart worked - once.
2 sessions makes sense with what I'm seeing. Unfortunately I have no way to resolve it and again, THEY WON'T RESPOND TO MY EMAIL'S.sorry... 2 sessions = 2 instances of cgminer?? Yeah they have a script to launch cgminer in a screen session, you will see 2 sometimes when you ssh in. IDK why, the script tries to kill any running instances and restart a fresh one, but it doesn't always work when cgminer isn't functioning correctly, which is when you really need it to work. |

Does it even matter if they are on track? Even $3/Ghash for an early Jan delivery does not return $3 in 12 months at 30% jumps. A few % lower and it works out, but a few weeks later - and no one has delivered on time yet - and your back to losing.

dhenson, I don't know if you have communicated with phoenix1969, but he did have some good info. in regards to save pool info. and the cgminer config. file.....he had also mentioned something 2 instances of cgminer causing him some problems. Good luck, and keep us posted.
I'm hosted. Unfortunately, nothing Phoenix1969 has done will help me as I don't have the ability to implement it. You can still reboot and update firmware right? They just don't allow you ssh access? |

I doubt the percentage will remain 100%+ per month, but im new to this, any updated predictions guys?
30% per jump at least until Feb. I hope it won't happen, but I am expecting it. Hashfast and Cointerra are shipping TH/s units and hit $4/Gh/s by Jan. It's going to be brutal. |

$27/GH/s is ridiculous a bit high given current market conditions OP. Good luck.
|

|

I'm sure you guys are aware.. but if not: This does nothing to help the poorly designed work restarts. |
|
|

it'll come preinstalled with cgminer which ckolivas has already seen and will be working on.
I think this gets overlooked a lot. Having an experienced mining software developer woking on product software before launch has not been usual way around here. It's a very nice change and I'm looking forward to the results. +1 to hashfast for being proactive on this. |

MiniRigs: February 25 (1st 500 gh/s) January 31 (2nd 500 gh/s) and All June-Dec, 2012 MiniRig orders complete. So they are sending these as 3 500 gh/s units, but not processing them all at once? For $30K in equip? WTF? I wish I could offer you what you paid, you have done great work for the mining community over the years, but I don't see this ending well. I would really push for a refund at this point, or more insist on a refund. I can get you cheap hosting and I'll offer you what I can for units shipped, but I've played the BFL shipping game and lost twice, so I'm not at all interested in transferring the order. Keep us updated, and don't let the rum run dry. |

Suggestion: Figure out how to mine through Tor or similar anonymizing network
Remember, several people with early batch Avalons had their homes broken into and their units stolen.
Why take unnecessary risk?
Yeah mining through tor...no latency or connectivity issues there. How about just not posting your IP, address, or order information....otherwise known as common sense. The pool has your IP. That is more than enough. God help you if you use P2Pool. Oh no...all my Jupiter has been stolen!!! I shouldn't have used p2pool.... Oh wait, back to reality, everything is good...still hashing. |
