Would you mind explaining how/why?  I usually think of a typical DDoS attack against a public mining pool address, perhaps you are referring to a different DoS method that I'm not considering.

Any opinions on creating a specific forum for posting local events and meetings, perhaps initially divided regionally (NE, SE, C, NW, SW)?  I'm thinking specific to the USA right now as I just started a local meetup group but I wasn't sure where was appropriate to post the announcement.  I've seen a few "anyone from X city on this forum?" posted in General but given the global reach of the forum I thought it might be a bit spammy to others.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

For anyone who is unaware, Forrest is the creator of the decentralized peer-to-peer mining pool p2pool - which will now be even more DoS resistant.  

Many thanks guys.

+1 thanks Forrest!

Send a big subsidy to p2pool miners.

Actually, don't.  The ensuing "should they pay it back" debate would be unbearable.

Good luck!  Any chance there will be an audio or video recording available?

I recently upgraded some of my GPU miners to cgminer 2.4 and the latest p2pool build.  After a day or so I noticed that my overall hash rate was significantly lower than it had been in the past.  I did some testing and found that lowering intensity even further from 7 to (5) 6 on some of my rigs resulted in a ~10%-15% improvement in the hash rate reported by p2pool (but lower in cgminer).  I just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else had a similar experience.  I suspect it is mostly due to upgrading cgminer since I was using a much older version.

The graphs in p2pool were very helpful in identifying trends between my rigs.  

edit - ran a bit longer to rule out some more variance and determined I may have been a bit optimistic with my initial findings, settled on -I 6

Same here, Go Daddy placeholder...  

I want a set of gold fronts for my teeth with a character from a mini private key on each tooth, aka grillwallet.   

What is the longest you have had it mining without interruption using the 200mhz bitstream?

I'm using the same bitstream and it usually runs with no invalids for 2-3 days but eventually they show up.  I've had one board running for 5 days with no invalids and then on the 6th day each core got 3 invalids within a few hours.  The temps were measuring in the same range as before (25-30C) so I assume it's just near the limit at 200mhz.

I'd like to the boards to run reliably for a long time and I'm not sure if a handful of invalids every few days is worth worrying about.  I may just run the latest bitstream at 190-195 mhz for a tiny margin of safety as I don't consider an extra 10-20mhash to be worth running on the edge.  Are my concerns warranted?  Any opinions on the risk of electromigration from running them at this speed over a period of months/years?

FTFY  

Good luck to Moon Kim!

I can picture less computer savvy people being turned off by Luke's table because they wouldn't know what 1/2 the columns mean and whether they are important.  I personally prefer it, but I agree with the suggestion that it should be on a separate "compare clients" page, or on the same page but below the screenshot & summary descriptions.

People tend to have very short attention spans when they are searching for a download link.  It might be helpful to order the clients by ease of use, starting with the most general/friendly clients and progressing towards the advanced/resource intensive clients.  I think it is safe to assume that advanced users already know what they want, so there is no need to cater to them on a page that is intended for everyone.

*shakes fist 3 times*

Congrats guys, awesome news. 

Ugh, about to break 40 hours again on another 5M+ share round... what a bad run of luck.   

I also get about 1-2% DOA with the X6500 mining with p2pool.  This is using a semi-dedicated PC with an i3/ssd to run p2pool/bitcoind and a separate PC controlling the FPGAs.

Work in progress...

Also -

PSA for anyone using power cables with 6-pin PCI-e adapter plugs on one end:

Do NOT inadvertently plug your adapter cable into an 8-pin EPS12V line on your PSU.  The keying on the molex plug is compatible so it will fit, but the polarity is REVERSED and you will potentially destroy your hardware.

I learned this the hard way.

Just wanted to post and mention that my order of cables arrived.  I ordered a set with various gauges/plugs/lengths for an FPGA cluster and I am very pleased.  They are all very well made and working perfectly.  Based on this order I'd recommend this service to anyone interested.

Thanks again. 

For all the complaining you do about your perceived economic inferiors relying on intuition and belief instead of "real data", you sure do come across as a zealot when it comes to your own imaginary musings...  

We are a long way from pure transaction fees.  We haven't even seen the first reduced block-reward yet.  The suggestion that proof-of-stake is the *only* solution to a *hypothetical* problem is what doesn't pass the laugh test.
