So I've seen advertising for this raffle but no more ticket sales. Cablepair, what is you plan to finish out this raffle with no sales made in the last 3 days?

- Buy a used laptop.
- Reformat the drive and install ubuntu.
- Install the bitcoin client and download the block chain.
- Create an address in the client and write it down.
- Send BTC to the address to test everything.
- Close the bitcoin client and shut down the computer.
- Take the computer to the bank and put it in a safety deposit box.

This is what I would consider very safe storage for btc in a vault.

lol. I have no idea which is which either! I was told by BFL that the temps displayed can vary quite a bit. The most important thing is for the singles to not start flashing their front LED at the ambient temp while mining.

Amazingrando is one of the very few miners to be able to offer a deal like this at scale. If he needed to throw 40Gh behind this venture to make it successful, he could easily do it without batting an eye.

As for what to call his offer, 110% may not mean much if you only own 10 bonds, but for the larger investors who have put their faith and BTC into his offering, it is a bonus OVER what they were expecting. Amazingrando is under promising and over delivering for the investors who believed in him.

Just imagine what this community would be like if everyone tried to do this.

I now have 10 cards running 850/150/.959v! Two are running 825/150/.959v.

See rigs 100, 107 and 110. The 110 rigs has 5k shares on each card.

I think the .959v over .95v makes a big difference.

Hi Zubilica,

I just worked through this issue with my 17 device rig. Follow the instructions below to fix it. I'm sure lodcrappo will have a patch for us soon.

• run the command: nano /opt/bamt/mgpumon
• press the keys: ctrl+w
• type: 4000
• press enter
• change the value 4000 to 8000
• press the keys: ctrl+x and then y (this will leave the editor and save)
• back at the command line run: killall mpgumon
• then run: mgpumon /etc/bamt/mgpumon.conf &

This will fix your issue.

Well this is interesting. I have two 5870s on miner100. I set them to run at 800/150/.959v but for some reason they are running at 850 core!

http://gigamining.com/mgpumon/

Anyone know why that would happen? Or better yet, I'm wondering if I can run all my 5870s at 850/150/.959v.   

The count is:

Rev1 == 4
Rev2 == 7
Rev3 == 4

The ones closets to the PC are Rev1s. They're taller than Rev2 because they use just the big heatsinks on the bottom.

I've come back and am here to stay. I must say ozco.in is one of the best run pools around.

It's that time again. Moved some things around a bit.

The bond makes sense for all involved. A win/win if you will. The idea of the perpetual bond is not mine, Meni deserves credit for it. I only took it to scale.

I have been in contact with BFL for months. They are an excellent team and I have been impressed with their efforts thus far. I would not have put this bond together if I did not believe they could deliver. I can understand how you might be skeptical by reading others uninformed opinions.

Hopefully we can keep this thread on topic now.

Thanks,

Hi yochdog,

As was pointed out in my feedback thread, the 50Gh bond will be run by two Butterfly Labs mini rigs. I bought them at the early bird price of $12.5k each. Each BFL mini rig is spec'd to pull 1250w to generate 25Gh in mining power. With my electricity costs at $0.07104 and assuming 745 hours in a month, the electricity will cost ~$135 per month. I am willing to pay out 100% PPS because I run all my equipment on GPUMAX and have confidence that the service is only going to get better with time.

There are other risk factors involved in running a bond like this which you have pointed out. Since all of the costs the mini rigs add will be incremental costs (aka I already have a working farm and have already purchased the mini rigs) the barriers for me to do this are pretty low.

My ultimate goal was to create more working capital while offloading some of the risk of running the equipment. This has been accomplished and my first priority is to make sure bond holders are justly rewarded.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Hi rastapool,

This is an issue with the glbse interface. I have offered and sold a "bond" not shares in the company. A bond has not voting right, cannot change the contract in any way and there is no need for motions.

Do you mind running a rig at 800/150/.959v as seeing what kind of power draw your are getting?

When it this thing kicking into high gear?

You are missing one small fact.......

ABCPOOL sends your hashes to other pools.

They are already making nmc from other pools like ozco.in. They just don't pass them on to their users.

I've had a couple of the asrock 970 boards come a little flaky. I just bought 20 of them so I had extras when I was building out my rigs.

They also sell these boards at amazon. If you have prime, you can same of the shipping charges.

If you only need 4 PCIe slots on a board, you could also check this one out as it is $30 cheaper.

To all gigaminers,

I have updated the gigamining home page with the amount of the first coupon payment. There is an extra bonus that will be paid out every time the difficulty changes. Since I don't want to spend too much time on calculating coupon payments every week, the day of the difficulty change will go to the lowest difficulty.

You can see the first coupon payment amount here -> http://gigamining.com/

You will also notice that there are only 5k bonds being paid coupons. I have struck a deal with a large bond holder to hold back receipt of the bonds for a couple weeks which will help with coupon payments until the mini rigs arrive in 4-6 weeks (yes, that is both a joke and the actual time frame).

I have also bought back the remainder of a mining contract I sold for 10Gh to make sure enough bitcoins are being produced to make coupon payments. On top of this, my glbse.com account will always hold, at a minimum, two weeks of coupon payments.

Why am I telling you all this? I want to be as transparent as possible so that you can have confidence in me and this bond.

Best,
gigavps

Looks like 56 tickets have been sold now.

Not sure to be honest. I don't have a kilawatt that works on 208v. My main concern with undervolting is better stability and longevity of the cards. Also seeing a decrease in my power bill is nice.
