Dust limit is 10,000 satoshi
Well cool, I look forward to the dust code getting put in some day. I hope you consider adding a "donate dust to pool" option, I'd probably just do that. My current <12GH/s usb sticks are just below the minimum payout, last 3 block rewards for their work has been 9400 9600 9500 satoshi. Almost there... I'll just wait until I upgrade them this summer and then point them back. There are several miners with less hash than even my sticks whose work is just accruing dust, wonder if they know/care? |

if people keep mining there.
That's the key, the only way to get pools to care is to stop mining to them. Really, pools that do care [about the bitcoin network] already don't mine empty blocks. The ones that are only in it for a quick buck stick out like a sore thumb. |

I have done some reading into mining, it seems the difficulty is based on finding a hash that has X amount of zeros at the start. If this is the case can't the difficulty really only be changed by rather largely up or down..?
Find a hash with 17 zeros at the start vs 16 is a large difficulty jump, how does the difficulty only change a bit?
Because there are 57 places in the hexidecimal difficulty, and each place has a value 0-9 a-z A-Z that represents and incremental change, so the difficulty can be expressed very precisely. Check out the wiki on difficulty: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty |

+3.76 to +4.00 for me again, please.

Does anyone have any idea why CG miner wont recognize my U3? I am using CG 4.9.1 Try 4.9.2 - it's got improved code for the U3.. though 4.9.1 should still recognize it, iirc. You did unplug/replug after the Zadig driver replacement, right? 4.9.1 will NOT recognize the U3, it is/was a known bug. Use 4.9.2. |

Bitwisdom looks like it's thinking positive still:
Bitcoin Difficulty: 51,076,366,303
Estimated Next Difficulty: 52,325,069,545 (+2.44%)
Adjust time: After 1745 Blocks, About 12.2 days
Hashrate(?): 368,588,798 GH/s
Price making it up slowly and at 288. It is not the 300+ we had but at least it's slowly going up.
Price is over 290, 292 right now, hopefully it will make it back up and over 300 and stay there as the new norm. |

hello again 2 mins ago my Antminer U3 start to biping. Lol First time hear that Before today I used bitmaintech fork of cgminer install with this su
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer.git
cd cgminer
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-bmsc
make install everything works perfect. I used freq 250MHz and 0.8V (I know that I overclocked it) With that overclocked stats my cgminer shows max 10-15 HW per day, and I have 5 U3's Today I decided to install ckoliva's fork of cgminer 4.9.2 Since I posted my last post (12h ago) cgminer show around 1300 HW errors That's 100 times more. Why  Probably because Bitmain's fork was showing HW incorrectly. Or the U3 finally burned something out running overclocked all the time. |

Decided to point my usb sticks here, getting bored this summer with no btc coming in from mining. Seeing as my usb sticks run all the time and they aren't going to solve a solo block realistically, may as well trickle some Satoshi into the wallet.
So it looks like my measly usb sticks do not hash enough for my block rewards to be more than dust, bummer. Considering I'm not the lowest hash rate on the pool it makes me wonder what the other folk below me are doing. If you're not generating enough hash to get over the payout threshold then it's wasted mining effort. Back to the solo mine they go, until I can upgrade them here pretty soon. What is the minimum payout the pool will pay? Any plans to sweep up all the dust and do something with it? I bet most users would just donate it to the pool. As btc prices rises, even the dust will be worth something at some point, and right now my dust balance is around 0.0013 which isn't too insignificant. |

Strike that, solo ckpool is reporting 0 for all fields except last update now. I went back to aaron6's file and it's working again. |

[2015-07-11 07:25:24] Possible block solve diff 77216354250.960800 !
[2015-07-11 07:25:24] BLOCK ACCEPTED!
[2015-07-11 07:25:24] Solved and confirmed block 364822
This also confirms that 3* multisig addresses work fine  Is that the first multisig address to solve a solo block here? Congrats! |

Congrats, that was the closest I've ever been to winning.
If you had told me 6 months ago we'd be in the middle of summer with btc over 290USD and diff changes less than +5% I wouldn't have believed you.

New Nightly update has been released!
Updated and running as described, thank you! |

WorkDelay is the new option I added to fix the massive waste of CPU by their driver ...
MinerCount and AsicCount match the hardware so you don't change them.
Thank you, I could figure out the first ones you listed, but these were some I was wondering about. I figured the two counter were tied to hardware, but what do they mean? Should WorkDelay ever read anything beside 1; is it a 0/1 toggle? What is an example of BadWork? |

Is there any way to increase that?
No. They absolutely cannot/will not make you any money. Plus they are shitty pieces of gear. Spend the money on USB sticks, they're easier to use, more reliable, don't need to be restarted everyday, and will earn you the same amount (i.e. 0). |

I really don't know much about the book. I'm not sure what sort of technical details, if any, it has.
It has many, many technical details and lots of code. I don't know anything about code but read the book for the rest of the info, I probably missed out on ~50% of what was presented therein. But yes, it does go over how to code your own tx and much, much more. Worth the purchase and read for sure (I've read mine twice already). |

I'm surprised that with the btc price edging up to $300USD that we're seeing such a small diff increase, I would have thought we'd be going much higher.

Because your transaction most likely has a higher ratio of fees to bites the transaction will fill up. As of right now the mempool is over 126 MB, meaning if no one sends any additional transactions to the network it will take at least 126 additional blocks to clear out the mempool: quickseller@quickseller1:~$ date

quickseller@quickseller1:~$ bitcoin-cli getmempoolinfo
{
"size" : 41682,
"bytes" : 126584240
} I think it should be pretty clear that the obvious solution would be to raise the block limit substantially. Yes, I also think that, unfortunately, Bitcoin is not ready yet. Quickseller, I tend to disagree. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Last blocks (chain.so, sorry for the not-so-great formatting) Block # Age Miner Transactions Size

Is it me or this can / has to be fixed and fast? If all pools would have been .. fair with the network, all should have gotten as much as possible and the stash of "unconfirmed" would have dropped to normal by now, without bigger block size. edit: improved the formatting Lots of this discussion in the recent empty block thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1085800.0 |

Those types of boxes are very common in the rock & mineral community for displaying rock slices and such. They can be found in large quantity at wholesale prices around the web There's a few problems with most of those boxes, unfortunately. 1. They tend to be the wrong size; see my earlier post for dimensions. These (EU, I should note - different card size) playing card boxes are just about the right size for presentation, inclusion of a bit of documentation, and optional SD card with all that's needed to be up and running quickly. 2. They tend to be hard plastics, which tends to crack. PP is a much more forgiving material. Ideally I would have gone for the Antminer U1/U2 / Mycelium Entropy type box, but it won't fit in those - and an AX seller with the same style, but larger, boxes (where it would fit) has not yet responded Similar styles that are longer and less wide are typically advertised as being for pens and watches, so that can also be a good place to start if anybody wanted to box their bunch. A playing card is ~ 89x60mm, the case I linked is 85x60mm. Since they are meant for mineral samples they tend to be very resilient. I have many many and never had one crack. |
