Dude, are you high or something?

Not yet..... Wink

"Do you realise each day that passes and the Blues haven't shipped, it literally costs you money?"

Yup - so the pre-order gamble didn't pay off - deal with it. If you're looking for a sure thing, buying stuff that isn't made yet is not the wisest choice  Wink


All these things are a gamble. 

I don't know about all you guys, but I wasn't waiting on these things to arrive in the post, so they could mine enough BTC to buy my dinner.  I ordered a Jalapeno back in June, expecting it to arrive in August.  As it stands today, I think I'll be lucky to see it January 2014.  It'll never, ever ROI, unless BTC goes up in price big style.  Am I crying?  Am I suing BFL?  No.  I'm waiting.  Hell, I've spent more out on the lash in the past...


I think if you're relying on a few USB miners to ROI (which they never were going to anyway), I honestly think you're in the wrong business (or hobby).  I hear selling Big Issue is a big profit maker...

I recently began building up my mini-wannabe army of Erupters: only 18 so far. All into USB 3.0 ports.

9 Erupters per 10 port, powered, USB3.0 Dyconn hub[10th is fan]. The specs i read say this hub can power whats in it.

However, BFGminer wont run more than 15 of these ASIC Erupters. At least, it only shows 0-14 and associated info(hasrates etc)

Sometimes it will only run half my Erupters, 9, but random ones from each hub, not just 9 from one and none from the other.

This acts like you do not have a full 0.5 amps to each usb port.  I know Dyconn claims .900mA per port, that means it must have a 9 amp power supply.  I bet if you measured the amp out put it well be less than 9 amps.  A good Fluke meter can measure up to 10 amps dc with out a external shunt.

Doesn't need to be 9A if the PSU is outputting 12v.  Only needs to be a 4-5A 12v to provide 9A of 5v.

According to the email I just got, a server popped a DIMM rack in their data centre.  Downtime again later to replace the broken bit.

The sky is not falling. 

They are not DDoS'ing BTCGuild.

They are not ping flooding the NSA.

So....you're saying Ghash.io is double spending or someone on it?
I'm saying ghash.io was likely involved in that double-spending.
I got a report from a pool's user that there were no blocks (rewards) between 25th and 27th of september.
It means that user's hashpower was used for free by pool operators to perform this attack.

I call bullshit.
Support  your statement please.

You support yours.  All I see is FUD.

OC3k - any chance you could throw in a couple of Block Erupters rather than sending the 0.05BTC refund? 

Going by the prices, I'd be happy to "Buy a Bluefurry and get a Block Erupter free"

I'm waiting on block erupter stock, fingers crossed it'll arrive at the same time, so I could try to organise this... Probably best you PM me if you want that deal.

I'd rather have the refund, thanks.



I think it's opt-in, rather than opt-out.

Only if you buy cheap-ass wifi equipment.

I bought a pair of used 7950 cards off eBay about 8 months ago, mined the shit out of them for 6 months doing LTC, then sold them for a few quid more than I paid for them.   The LTC converted to BTC, which I just sold for £300.

Those complaining about delays, when they're only reselling for profit, should STFU - some of us buy these things to mine with.  Bizarre concept, mining with miners, eh?

1892  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: WHICH pool is USA POOL and which is EUROPE POOL on: October 30, 2013, 09:40:21 AM
EMC has an EU server at eu.eclipsemc.com:3333 and 3 US servers at us1.eclipsemc.com:3333, us2.eclipsemc.com:3333 and us3.eclipsemc.com:3333

This dude is scum bag cockroach from NFL labs that has lied, abused and still leads customers I to vaporware! Do not trust this dirt bag in anyway or promote/ use any service he offers! He is pure dirt bag!
BE WARNED!

No shit?  Wow.  2011 is calling, it wants it's news back.  Everyone knows who Inaba is, thanks.

While I'm no fan of BFL, Inaba's EMC is a good pool.  It's stable, it's got good connections, I used it for a while and had no issues at all with it.
1893  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: The owner of this website (www.btcguild.com) has banned your IP on: October 30, 2013, 09:35:42 AM
Similar problem here, although i never had a failed login attempt. Yet I get this message now:

Your IP (*.*.*.*) has been banned for too many failed login attempts. Contact webmaster@btcguild.com to request the ban be removed.

Sent email to webmaster 1 day ago, still no response. Very disappointing.

"1 day ago" being the time between me going to sleep and waking up to respond to all the emails that rolled in while I was asleep.

Your IP failed the attempts.  If it wasn't you, you're using a public proxy, TOR, or your computer/a computer on your network is infected and being used as a proxy for brute force login attempts.

Yes, 1 day ago as the whole world works on American time?

 Cheesy

Where are you, that it took 6 days to make your smart-arse comment?  Roll Eyes

Paypal aren't interested in processing the refunds any more.  You get the stock "45 days, tough shit" emails now, even when emailing the Executive email.

 Really amazing to think of how far the network has come in the last 10 months.

When I started mining, the whole network was 5.5TH.  Shocked

Maybe with all that money just arriving, BFL will be able to build those Jalapenos people ordered months ago?  Still waiting for my worthless paperweight to arrive, only 6 months late...
1899  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Alternative PSU for BFL Single on: October 29, 2013, 06:32:11 PM
It's not going to draw 1000 watts at the wall unless you load it up with 3 singles. It's wall power draw depends totally on what is hooked up to it.

Exactly  Wink 

Also,that PSU is not going give a decent effiency until its drawing about 80% of max,which would be 800 watts.Until then the effiency is going be poor  Sad

It's going to be at most 2% less efficient.  Hardly a deal breaker.
1900  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: ASICMiner Blade warranty?? on: October 29, 2013, 06:22:43 PM
Like many things, the warranty is not transferrable.  Buy it second hand, you're buying it without a warranty.

Are you sure it's faulty?  They are a disaster to get working right - they're pickky about PSU, the management interface is a bit hoopy...what's wrong with it?
