What's the Bitcoin-QT flag to sign a block? Can't seem to find the reference now.
Thanks,
Sam

You're probably looking at 0.50 BTC + shipping for a hub without any miners included. I will update once I have them, see what size packaging they need, and have a chance to run the numbers in more detail.
Please post a pic and dimensions as soon as you can. I would definitely be interested in, at least 1. |

OK this is weird- my solo instance of BFGminer used to show my solo pool http://127.0.0.1:8332 as getwork, I restarted my bitcoin-qt and BFG miner,now the pool shows as GBT- is this right? Yes I would think that's right since both Bitcoin-QT and BFG do GBT Solo. That should be a good thing. |

--coinbase-sig "Yep Icon did it again!"
Isn't there a command line option to do that with the Bitcoin-QT client? |

When writing a config file in cgminer it can only be set 1 - 10 but in the AI it can be set higher. Yes the queue.
Thanks for the tip. I'll tinker around with it a bit. |

adjusted staged work up by 20 in cgminer and all is good again  Uh, how do you do that exactly? I thought ST: or Staged Work was just a status? Presumably with the queue setting. The range for the queue is 1-10. So how could he adjust it up by 20? I set mine up to 5 from the default 1 to see what happens. Thanks, Sam |

Quickly, everybody overclock your hardware 25% so we can claim the 1 Petahash/sec crown*
Winter's coming so I can fire up my Radeon 4670 again if you think it'll help. I would contribute my 5830 but I'm playing DOOM 2 at the moment. |

Just curious how I manage a round robin with cgMiner. I set it there thinking it would.be easier than using rotate but it hasn't.done as expected. I missing how round robin is expected to work?
With Round Robin, when a pool fails for 5 minutes it will move to the next pool and mine on it until it fails and then moves to the next. If your primary pool is a good one and never fails then it will never move to another pool. What behavior are you seeing? What behavior are you expecting that your not seeing? I was trying to maximize the amount of shares I got, that's why I was thinking round robin would share time for both pools so I wouldn't miss out on either with my hashing speed. I'll just have to finish one and stick with the other. Both seem good except one was bitminter and if its donations don't get in the way it would be nice with more mining power out of my shares in it. Balance and load balance are probably more along the lines of what your thinking. Maybe the new quota's would help? Don't know much about what quota's are yet myself. |

I was told by a very experienced friend that pool hopping tends to be worse.
Was he talking about pool hopping? Or was he talking about how it takes a while for your earnings to level out with payout systems like DGM and PPLNS? If it's the latter you will still get paid for your shares over time so no real need to worry. If its the former, there are only like two hoppable pools left so it's pretty much a non issue these days. |

If the best share is equal or greater than the current difficulty then it solved a block.

i currently have no less then 4 instances of bfgminer running same time on 1 pc.
Welcome to the "fringe" |

And your serial port mappings *never* change when you reboot or replug your mining hardware so that you don't have to continually edit your .bat files so that you get what you want when running 4 instances of your miner software?
To be fair, running multiple instances of mining software is pretty rare. Most people don't waste their time. For the vast majority, BFGMiner is superior. For fringe cases that for some reason decide they want to split it over multiple instances, cgminer is better (possibly). I'm not really trying to say anything about either miner, usually. I just know what a support problem USB serial drivers have been in general. It just boggles my mind why anyone would volunteer for that irritation. CGMiner has been very stable for me since 3.2.1. I have not seen the issues that many supposedly have. So I wonder how many are self inflicted? Also I don't know what constitutes a "superior" mining program? |

I had bought three of those Anker 9+1 Hubs. Two of them did this and the third was always solid. One fried in less than 24 hours and I remedied issues with the 2nd by plugging it into another USB hub. Now I never get a Zombie and they have been running solid for a couple months now.
So if you have another USB Hub try plugging your new one into it. Also make sure your hub is supplying enough power. Each Block Erupter draws 500ma so if your powering 6 you need more than a 3 amp 5 volt Power Supply for the Hub.

BFGMiner is WAY better for running the Block Erupters than an ancient version of CGMiner.
But if you like messing with USB Serial drivers the have fun. What?!? This is the most retarded post I've ever seen on this board. BFGMiner is far simpler to get going - install VCP drivers, job done. No messing with WinUSB, zdiag and all that shite. And your serial port mappings *never* change when you reboot or replug your mining hardware so that you don't have to continually edit your .bat files so that you get what you want when running 4 instances of your miner software? |

I was able to get up to 13 working on WinXP, but it was anything but reliable. Win7 has worked great for me.

Damn, what a pain in the ass it has been trying to make it work.
I'll try tomorrow (sunday). If I can't make it, screw this
What trouble are you having? Setting up solo mining is very easy. I thought you were using a couple GPU's? I pointed my 19-20Ghs at my Bitcoin-QT .85 and it worked fine. It leaked shares on block changes but the rest of the time it seemed to keep my hardware busy. |

Low end ASIC would be okay. The problem comes with trying to solo mine against Bitcoin-QT with a a lot of hash rate.
Yep, I'm going to wait and see how things shake out before investing in anymore hardware. The point .85 version of Bitcoin-QT actually works pretty good for solo with my BE's. Now to see how long the BE's will actually last. how have you tested to insure that your solo endeavor will payout correctly, to the right wallet? What wallet would you expect it to payout too? Not sure I know what you mean? I'm not sure what i mean either. If you find a block the 25 BTCs goe into the QT wallet you are mining with? how do you know it will work? I've heard that it works. |
