Hello
What im doing wrong here . Why is the efficiency so low ?
Current Server: gbt.mining.eligius.st:9337
GBT is wrong. You want Getwork. There's a big difference. The Blades only support getwork. You want getwork.mining.eligius.st:8337 Edit: got to love the armchair miners, replying when they haven't got a clue.  |

It definitely works on Intel, AMD I'm not so sure.

Are you running a server at your house or something? Seeing your own name "~wizkid057.....:" in some of the URL's makes me think something isn't setup right somewhere. Hopefullly you are on a dedicated or a good VPS. Doesn't seem setup right though, no?
Wow. I think you haven't got a clue what you're talking about. |

Yes, I mined PPCoin for a while using my Block Erupters and Blade.

Overall, if I am correct. CoinTerra's upcoming new technology and Cex.io cloud hashing is not worth it. Simply put, you won't break even.
Assuming the price of BTC stays where it is. Which it won't. It's at $224 on BTC-E at the moment. I'm pretty sure a few weeks ago it was down around $110. If BTC is $1000 this time next year, mining will still be profitable. |

If you've got some sort of green electricity generation, most European governments basically pay you to use electricity.
A wind turbine or solar panels will give you free electicity, if you're willing to make the long term investment.
Thats not consider free then, since you need to pay for the wind turbine or solar panels... but ya it is a good way to reduce energy cost... Well, it's free as far as running the mining equipment is concerned. |

Looks like some pool server side load issues have caused some oddities with the shares database being delayed a bit. The load balancing I had in place for stratum was not properly distributing the load between servers and eloipool instances and instead was maxing out just a handful of them on one server. This is due to the way I originally designed the load balancing to be compatible with getwork mining, but, is not really imperative anymore. I'm working on this now.
Thanks for the update. But, please don't close the getwork service. I sort of reply on it as backup to my Blades - normally they run on Eligius through BFG's proxy, with backup to Eligius' getwork server. I'd be a sad panda if the getwork interface closed, as has happened on most other pools. Nor am I going to run another PC just to have a proxy running, I've got my miners running on OpenWRT, so I can turn off all my PCs, I don't want to have to run a PC 24/7 again. I might even have to use Eclipse again, it's the only other pool that has a decent getwork interface.... |

How hard is it to use bfg in unbunto. Im a windows guy ready for a change.
If you are looking into reducing your overhead even more, you might want to checkout http://minepeon.comIt's a mining distro that runs off a Raspberry Pi. Or just run BFG on an OpenWRT router - seems a lot less hassle than MinePeon, if you're happy with SSH and the likes. |

If it costs more than $87, you'll never get your money back.
This is rubbish due to one variable - BTC price. Why can't people get that fact in to their thick heads? |

yes, I have something back-asswards here, trying to figure it out. no offense intended. host computer specs should not have much to do with it? switched in an old amd laptop to host the BE's and a BFL jalapeno.
I've nearly 40GH being hosted by a TPLink WDR-3600 router running OpenWRT with bfgminer 3.4.0. It's using less than 5W of power, and it's totally stable. You don't need ANY computing power really. Heck, I used to run 30GH though a TPLink 703N micro-router, which was running off the same USB hub as all the miners were. Stopped using it as the flash memory was too small, so had to run the OS off a USB stick, which was a little dodgy. |

Anyone else's hashrate randomly drop? It's killing me. BFGminer showing lots of (unknown work).
I have had a few people report this issue, very rarely, over the past several months but have never been able to identify a cause. If its able to be replicated perhaps you can get with Luke-Jr and try to figure out the problem.  I get it very rarely. It's always when my ASICMiner Blades switch between mining directly to Eligius on Getwork and mining on Eligius through BFG's getwork proxy. It usually sorts itself out after a 10-15 seconds. |

OutCast could you take a few photos of the devices that you have, would be nice to see them at least :-)
Sure, check the link below. It starts with my dog "OutCastK9" guarding them ;P http://imgur.com/a/wf8lE#0Right, best get packing. Hehe, he's cute.  The heat sink looks terrible, what's holding it on? Not screws anyway, by the looks of it.  If the list is correct on the first post, 50 sticks will be taken up by the first 4 people on the list...  |

mining with them is such a hastle.
How is it? Plug in to USB hub, run bfgminer. That's it. Unless you've got the IT skills of a wet sandwich, it couldn't be any easier... |

Allright, but doesn't there is a kind of relation between those two?
Not really, the heat sink on the VRM on these boards is pointlessly small. I think that airflow over the back of the card is much more important than worrying about the GPU temp. When I ran mine, I had little heat sinks stuck to the metal plate on the back, and a fast 120mm fan blowing down the back of the two cards. Brought the VRM temps down significantly. |

You're NOT going to be able to run even 2 7990 in a case without them melting.
I ran a pair of 7950 in a Define XL R2, with 6 120mm fans going flat out, and the cards still got close to their maximum. The heat was ridiculous.
For 4 7990, you're going to need a decent 4-slot board, powered risers, at least two ~1000W PSU, and an open frame in your garage/shed or basement.
I do question the sanity of it, even if you get the things mining reliably, they're going to be sucking a LOT of power, and not mining very much. You'd be better off with a couple of BlueFury USB miners - about 1/10th the price and do 2.5GH each using about 5W.

It gets old, quick. I destroy computer equipment every other week at work - it can't be sold off or recycled, so it's smashed up and put in landfill. Last week I smashed up 10 Dell machines that had never been out of their boxes - 5 years old, but never powered on, and had to be disposed of. Dumped a server last month - dual Xeons, 32GB RAM, 16TB of drive space, working perfectly, but out of warranty so had to be decommissioned and scrapped. Got to love government rules... |

To be honest, I'm only running my mining hardware until March/April - it's now all sitting in the corner of the living room, keeping the downstairs a little warmer over winter. Once the cold weather is gone, all this crap is going...

Which power unit did you go with?
lol, 2 years later...  Tip, check the post dates before you end up reviving a long, long, long dead thread. |
