Well I wish you would get a move on and go ahead and do that.

Think of the good for the environment by shutting down all those power hungry GPU cards.

If *all* the GPU miners shut down diff might remain reasonable enough (for a while) that I could still make a coin or two off my FPGAs.

Do it for the children.

 

Maybe in first gear.

So far they are only shipping Jalapenos.

With davidspitzer's order they are now starting to fulfill the July 2012 orders for them.

Still yet to ship anything larger than a Jalapeno.

Enjoy your eight Jalapenos.

Another approach might be to add your non-root user account to the group which the devices are in.

In my case the group name is "dailout".

xx@xxxxxx ~ $ ll /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw---T 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jun  3 13:52 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---T 1 root dialout 188, 1 Jun  3 13:51 /dev/ttyUSB1
crw-rw---T 1 root dialout 188, 2 Jun  3 13:52 /dev/ttyUSB2
crw-rw---T 1 root dialout 188, 3 Jun  3 13:51 /dev/ttyUSB3
crw-rw---T 1 root dialout 188, 4 Jun  3 13:51 /dev/ttyUSB4

crw-rw---T 1 root dialout 188, 6 Jun  3 13:51 /dev/ttyUSB6
crw-rw---T 1 root dialout 188, 7 Jun  3 13:52 /dev/ttyUSB7

NOTE: I'm not using cgminer. Adding the non-root user to the dialout group is what I did to resolve permissions issues when using MPBM on Raspbian / Debian.

Thank you.

Hope your ankle is doing much better.
I hate causing you to get out.

"I've fallen and I can't get up."  <-- Line from an old, and quite irritating, TV commercial.

Well, that decision got easy.

It stopped hashing again within an hour of being brought back up. It now will not initialize / hash at all. (The other one merrily starts hashing every time I plug it in.)


I've got a bad one, arklan, please ship a replacement.


BTW, I'm happy with it if you ship one you've been using for a while and has a 'known good' status rather than you pulling a cold one from the replacement inventory to send me.

Should I use the return address on the package these came in?
Or do you wish to email an address for me to use in shipping this one back?

And, please cross-ship the replacement. I.e., don't wait to get the bad one before shipping the replacement. (PM me if you want a deposit for that.)

And please send it Express / Next Day delivery. Send me the cost for that and I'll send the BTC to cover that charge.

In a 12 hour run the 'troublesome' one stopped mining at about the 8 hour point. It averaged about 10% hw errors for the period it stayed up. The good one just under 1% hw errors.

It initially wouldn't restart by removing / replugging into the USB hub. (Continuous "returned e46f2c6c instead of 5eb01f04" errors.)

Left it unplugged a couple minutes and it is hashing again now. Again with about 10% versus < 1% hw errors compared to the other one.

arklan,

What is your experience with invalids for the ones you have been running, please?

Got mine about 4 hours ago.

First testing - mpbm on the pi crashed when I added the two new ones to the mix.


Set up on another machine for testing and one of the two:

1) always produces a few "Exception: Mining device is not working correctly (returned e46f2c6c instead of 5eb01f04)" on start up

and

2) it is generating 17 to 1 (compared to the other) invalids. About 10% invalid share rate.
(With only a 35 minute run-time on them so far.)


I am inclined to call one of my two as bad. I don't consider 10% invalid acceptable.
I've got a fan blowing over them and they are both merely 'warm to the touch'.


I'll let it run overnight and see what I get.

Will report back sometime tomorrow.

A few over 100 have been acknowledged as received.

Don't know if that constitutes "a lot".

But it is a change from *two* when I last looked at that site a few days ago.

Here's a post with someone claiming OK success with MPBM.

There already are. Currently open.

Look and yet shall find.

Me too.

What, no spreadsheet updated!?   

--

Seriously, thank you for your efforts under adversity.

I am, and have been all day, getting zero.

That's pretty awesome compared to my FPGA miners.

With that set of four you're generating about half what I am on FPGA's at one tenth the power consumption.

Or, to normalize, they consume about 20% as much power per hash as an FPGA miner.

Sign up now to catch the tour.

'night.

I'm sure your nimble little fingers can do with a night's rest by now.

But, hey! What are you doing reading / replying on this forum?

Don't you have boxes to pack?
(Or, if not, a spreadsheet to update?)

<crack whip>

 

"it's actually NOT trivial"

Understood. No problem and I'm not surprised.

I only asked on the basis of if you don't ask, well, you didn't even ask.

arklan,

If you haven't packed mine yet.
If possible.
If it isn't any trouble for you.
If you remember by the time you get to packing mine.  

I would like to have two different colors, please, rather than both the same.

-- edit

It doesn't really matter. Just a very mild preference if it comes out that way with trivial effort.
