Notice that drop? Did they switch the little SC for an old Minirig? :p |

By dynamic, what I mean is something like: "Aim to keep say 100BTC in the pot. If the amount drops below 100, decrease the amount per share paid proportional (or on an accelerating curve) to the difference. That's not PPS. That's not PPS. Ok? It just doesn't make much sense to me to try and stack a linear function against what is pretty much a random walk. That's PPS. If you don't like it, don't use it. (Either as miner or as pool op) PPS itself isn't broken. No need to fix something that's not broken. What's "broken" is the "BTC buffer" of the pool. But again - that's PPS, it's the risk of the pool op. PPS is high risk for the pool op. There is nothing you can do about it, except for switchting to another payout scheme like DGM or PPLNS. Maybe fireduck should do so, if he doesn't want to keep putting more and more of his own BTC into the pool wallet. |

You do realize that by the time those 300 BTC are matured, a lot more shares will be submitted and the pool needs to pay out much more than those BTC *currently* owned?
Depends on the definition of "late". If the bank says you have to pay now and you are unable to do so, how do you call it?

He is offering PPS. There is no way to calculate anything dynamically. PPS means high risk for the operator, low variance for the miners but also (usually) high fees. That's the way it is.
Of course he can change the payout scheme to something less risky for him. But while the pool is PPS and the wallet is empty, the pool is bankrupt because users are not/cannot be payed out according to the advertised payment scheme.
That IS an issue.
Edit:
@zvs - check again. Have a look at how many users with a balance >1 exist. There is even one user with 20 BTC balance. Pool wallet currently holds 7.7119317 BTC.

i realize payouts are being done as blocks mature, but what is the formula being used to do so? That's only because the pool wallet is almost always empty. fireduck didn't fill the pool wallet, he also didn't say anything about this in this thread.
I'd recommend switchting pools for now, HHTT may go bankrupt soon. (Or already is...) |

Perhaps due to BFL ASICs finally starting up as well now... Like what, one unit?  Most should still be ASICMINER/Avalon. And maybe old GPU rigs getting started again. |

How do you dissipate 180 W with such a small heatsink w/o active cooling (fan)?
That's not possible. Or the chips are running @ 150+ °C, so they will die within a few days. Or hours.

Who remembers Matthew's 10k BTC bet?
Well, by the "wording" of his bet one can argue that he did nothing wrong, and his scammer tag is not justified.
BUT nobody understood the wording the way he did, so he got his scammer tag.
What can be seen in the OP is NOT a finished product, nothing that will be shipped to customers.
When Avalon shipped the first two devices, those were the FINISHED products. The same products which were later received by "ordinary" customers.
This "shipping" by BFL is NOT comparable to what was shipped by Avalon.
If the official bet outcome is that BFL *has* shipped, they could as well soldered some of their FPGAs to a board and call it SC Single. Because, well, power consumption and the fact it's not the product that will be shipped to all customers does not matter?!
People saying BFL has shipped should as well request to remove Matthew's scammer tag then.
(Because both maybe matched the wording but not the intention of the bet.)

I wont touch this project with a ten foot pole. Well, Tom, can you explain why your LTC-FPGA project will be more successful than your BTC-ASIC project? You said you had a prototype of the ASIC running. Did anyone else see it? Did you ever post a photo of it? Your text sounds good, but so did your bASIC news. And it failed completely. (Which is sad.) |

Did I miss the Coinlab HPC update where they explain why they failed to get anything done 4-5 month later.  I tried to get an answer to this question many times. They simply won't respond to the question why there is no HPC client or if there will ever be one. |

What about using existing chips? I.e. Avalon.

I don't see how getting a unit to Luke-Jr is anything remotely like shipping.
This! Shipping means customers getting ordered retail units. I don't get whats there to debate about this. I'm sure BFL comes up with an order number for Luke-Jr "order" :p |

Just a small push Only a few BTC are missing! |

working 41min @180w without fan?
April fool
Passively cooling an Core i5/i7 is already a challenge, and that's only ~90 W. 180 W with such small heatsinks? Well, if it's ok for the chips to run @ 150°C... |

"It doesnt look correct to me" -> logarithmic scale

That's actually a nice product name  I'd buy one. |

1. 5V or 12V power
2. 1.2V DC-DC efficienct regulator module
3. avalon chips
4. ?
5. profit!
(Seriously, I don't think it's *that* easy... Who is doing the PCB? Who is writing the Firmware?)

My balance has been paid out.
Switched to another pool for now - pool wallet getting dry is no good sign...

I think it's more like over 9000.
