1701  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: [Guide] Noob guide to solo mining USB Erupters with cgminer on: October 29, 2013, 11:17:49 AM
I can only get v3.1.1 to work.  And it doesn't show any accepted shares.  The USB's blink like it's working.   It says, "No suitable long-poll found for http://127.0.0.1:8332"  Is it working without showing work?

When solo mining the only accepted share you will see is a block finder.  So as long as your showing hash rate and the BE lights are blinking, your mining.

ckolivas,

I gotta say, respect to you for the work & effort you're putting in with this winblows "buglet". I'm not a winblows user, but your efforts getting things right are highly admired my man.

Kudos.

I'm very impressed with ckolivas' patience also, and from the outset I've been afraid that it would turn out to be All My Fault. Luckily for me, jmc1517 is still in the game. Perhaps there's also a silent majority of Windows users out there somewhere watching and waiting.   Smiley
 
I'm more worried about losing my valuable victims testers before we resolve anything.

I'm in the process of completely reworking my mining rig and space for the the winter.  Once I get my configuration stabilized I'll be chiming back in.

For the time being I've been using 3.4.3 fairly reliably.  It will have a problem once in a great while, but never a zombie since I got my hubs daisy chained to their liking.  The new 49 port hub seems reliable too, but I'm not up to the 40's yet, baby steps.
Thanks,
Sam

too large a fuse and there is no sense in having a fuse. Fuses are protection against bad things happening. Tongue

Being conservative 49 BE's will pull around 27 Amps so I doubt a 10 Amp auto fuse will hold.  Plus modern P/S's have over current protection as well.  I guess I'll wait for Eleuthria to chime in before loading the thing full.

I don't get any paperwork with them.  They're just given to me to sell.  I really hate this part of it, because I have little/no knowledge of electrical stuff, only the basics (Amps * Volts = Watts, and the permutations of that).

Does Friedcat have a thread for these hubs/BE's?

eleuthria,

I'm happily mining away on BTCguild, but I'm not generating any NMC's, just BTC.  I'm connected to stratum.btcguild.com:3333 and based in the US.  I want to mine both at the same time.  I assigned my NMC address in the settings area, but that didn't help.  What am I doing wrong?

NMC's payout on PPLNS only.  Turn on "Show" for NMC's in your settings page to see the stat's.

A single conductor would need to be about 10 gauge to carry 27A.

You sure about that?  The wires on Power Supplies are no where near that size?  Doesn't house wiring use 12 Gauge?

Edit: OK 5 Volt Red is on 4 Wires on the ATX Plug.   So I guess that's how they use smaller wire.

27A at 5V.  10A fuse at 12V power supply might just about run it OK, assuming near 100% power conversion efficiency.   15A on the 12V would certainly work.

But the 49 Port USB Hub's pull from the 5 Volt line not the 12.  Still think the 10-15 Amp is the correct way to go?
Thanks,

Guys this is a safety thing be careful.  You don't choose a fuse based on consumption, you choose it based on how much current the wire can carry.

Can someone post a photo of this hub?  I gotta see 49 ports to believe it.  I guess it has an ATX power connector on the side, I can't see how else you'd get this kind of current into it.  A single conductor would need to be about 10 gauge to carry 27A.

A previous post

Cool have you figured out a price for just the hub?

Will be listing them tomorrow.  I'm waiting on one response from friedcat RE: which rail this pulls off of the PSU from.  If it's pulling off 5v, I'm a bit concerned about how few PSUs can actually power all 49 ports at once since very few ATX PSUs will give more than 15 or 20A to the 5v rail.

Come to think about it. I am sure that the creation of it that was already in the thought process. So I am sure that all is good.

Well after browsing around it is using the 24 pin from a power supply so i think it should be fine. Although will need to know how big of a power supply is needed.

27A at 5V?  Good luck finding a PSU to run that...  Tongue



My 350 W Power Supplies are rated for 30 Amps on the 5 Volts Red.

Strangely my 600  W Power Supplies only supply 25 Amps on the 5 Volts Red.

Well maybe someone who knows about these hubs will chime it as well.  I'm not too worried about it.  I just don't want Trong to worry too much on my behalf Smiley.

I'd try a 10 amp fuse myself. Worst that can happen is it will blow right away.  Tongue

Well, I'm not so sure now.  Looking at the Auto fuses they aren't really rate for 12 Volts.  They just say 32 Volts or less on them.  And I think the voltage rating is just a function of the danger of arcing.  Sooo, I'm thinking I should just stick with 30 Amp fuse since the current is really independent of voltage as I have never seen a wattage rating for a fuse and that makes sense since they have no or very little voltage drop.

I have never really thought about fuse theory before.  But then again I have never seen auto fuses used in non auto applications before either.

I wish the would have just printed on the silly thing what it needed.  Or hey maybe they could have included a fuse?!?!.  But that would have really driven up cost's I guess Smiley.

Anyway, I have my first 10 new BE's hashing away.  I'll plug in the rest after letting it run for a while.
1712  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [925 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees, Stratum, MergedMining, Private Servers on: October 28, 2013, 07:51:13 PM
Wow, I already got my hub.  That was quick.
Thanks,
Sam

EDIT: Uh, is there an on/off switch on this thing?  It isn't doing anything.

OK, as near as I ca tell the 49 port hubs don't come with a Fuse and they take an automotive type fuse.

So my theory is that since those are 12 Volt fuses and my ATX P/S supplies 30 Amps 5 Volts that comes out to using a 12.5 Amp fuse.  They don't make a 12.5 Amp fuse so I'm using a 15 Amp auto fuse.  What do you all think?

1714  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Deepbit Payment Issue on: October 27, 2013, 11:40:03 PM
Edit: Did some looking into the cause and it seems earlier in the year people were having similar issues and were given the explanation that due to the increased value of btc at the time, Deepbits hot wallet was drained because a lot of people withdrew at the same time. Could just need a few hours or a day or two to fix the issue.

Yep, that's pretty common too.  Allot of people use pools for banks.  That's never a good idea.
1715  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Deepbit Payment Issue on: October 27, 2013, 10:38:55 PM
Hmm, I've never had an issue with payouts from Deepbit.  I know allot of other people say they have but I think most are related to trying to get very small payments and then having to wait a really long time for Deepbit to find the next block.  Deepbit mines it's own transactions so other pools won't pickup small Deepbit transactions because there are no fees.  I always withdraw a minimum of 1 Bitcoin and have never had a problem.

Anyway all you should need to do is go to the "Payments"  and copy your balance to the clipboard and then paste it into the field left of the "Instant payout" button.  If you get an error message copy it and then PM [Tycho] and also email the problem to the link on the website.

Good Luck,
Sam

how about reducing payout to 0,005 B atleast, as its value and diff increases its stupid to have this 0,01 B withdraw limit

Are you willing to pay the transaction fee?

Not completely sure what your asking.

But, create a .bat file and then create a shortcut to that.

You might want to start by just running 40 per...  

I'll need a couple of these once they're available separately - I already have plenty of BE's - don't need 40 more with each hub. Smiley



Its a plot to make us buy more erupters!  Grin

I think your right.  Is there no limit to the depths Eleuthria and Friedcat sink to to get us to buy more of those things?

I'll take two hubs worth please.  Yes, I'm weak.
1719  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [1.3 TH] DeepBit.net PPS+Prop,instant payouts, we pay for INVALID BLOCKS too on: October 26, 2013, 06:20:33 PM
Another block. Seems to be every 7 days now. Still a nice payout and worth the wait  Smiley

OK, I reset my clock.
