I just joined this pool and the front end has gone down twice in the last few days.
Is the back end still running does anyone know?
Has this pool always been this flaky?
May have to go back to rpool if this continues...
Backend is down too. Ypool claim to fame is the first XPM pool, still think they are the best XPM pool. But this PTS pool is taking them down a lot lately. |

Today, Has Code occurred?
I have not seen any lately, but I was out most of the day. |

Ugh....back to solo mining I guess.  Do you have enough cpu core to mine solo? Difficulty just went up 4x recently. You can mine at the other PTS pool, but I would suggest beeeeer.... |

Very random. I missed out on 5 LTC just by a couple seconds, posted on here. Also, missed on some USD on their site.....  |

It's back up. For how long, never know...lol
down.... Yup. They only have one server and no backup. Back to beeeeer PTS pool. |

Hi. I`m new to troubbleshooting gpu`s, and i have an issue with a 5970 4gb. It will not boot up, and i have tried different mobos and have plenty of power for it. Even after a successfull bios flash, it will not boot. Can the card still be dead if i can flash both gpu`s sucessfully? If anyone have some theories or solutions i would be gratefull. thanks.  When you mention it can't boot do you mean you cannot even enter window? Yes, the system powers on, but the screen is black. No startupscreen. But the screen turns on, so it must be getting some kind of signal i guess. (I used a 7870 to boot up and flash the 5970.) Sounds like the PWM modules and/or caps are bad. But try to troubleshoot the hardware around it, ie. the CPU, RAM, PSU, Motherboard, etc...Before you come to the conclusion it's a dead GPU card. Swap a good card to see if the system boots....I just had two of my three GPU's die on me: HD5870 and HD5850. I'm left with just a HD5870 now...  |

The major reason isn't on a exchange isn't the pool for BLC, there is no block explorer and no services/products to back it up at the moment.

I personally use Cryptsy, because they have the most diverse amount of Alt's for trade.
what about the speed of withdraw and deposit ? Most of the times it's fine. Just like any other trade market. They are a very trustworthy company. |

Ypool already has a lottery that's 0.1 XPM each ticket.....  |

Protoshares hands down. About to be worth more than litecoin.
Probably will be within this week. I vote PTS as a good ROI and cpu mining it's way more quieter than gpu mining....lol.... Won't know what will happening when Bitshare spawns from the genesis block, each PTS is one Bitshares and what ever DACS that follow with it.... Protoshares hands down. About to be worth more than litecoin.
This is happening, very soon. Especially after it hits an exchange. It's on www.btc38.com, but it's a Chinese market site, no English version yet: http://www.btc38.com/trade.html?btc38_trade_coin_name=pts |

Couldn't help myself, had to mock up a 19" rack panel for fun. Let me guys know what you think. I'm going to probably design the chassis around a blue glow theme. The 6 slots are for 7-segment readouts, the I/O connectors are panel-mount Neutriks, and we have a big red emergency start button for fun. This panel is designed for if I decide to watercool the unit. The radiator and fans are moved up front for heat in the winter and because the front of the rig is usually the least impeded (if it's on a desk or in a rack, the rear plate will be up against a wall or enclosure panel; we want efficiency - since when have you put a computer against the wall facing the wrong way?). Again, let me know what you guys think. The upload is of bad quality but I think it looks pretty snazzy.  It's a start. Maybe have the option of liquid cooling it for silent operation, but that's just a luxury. |

So the Chinese have already added it, interesting. That nearly equates to $3 approx per PTS. |

Nice article. China is kind of getting like the US during the early industrial years, but also getting the negatives of creating a lot of pollution too. Too many cryptocurrencies and not enough services/goods at the moment.

Will there eventually be a 64-bit miner instead of the 32-bit one in the wallet?

I'll give everyone a bit more information to chew on, then I'm calling it quits for the night, otherwise my brain will be fried from thinking too much over multi-core architectures Methods of constructing the Superminer at the macroscopic (inter-processor) level: 1: SC/DC (Smart Computer, Dumb Chips) - Master computer (standard PC on Linux distro, etc.) commands FPGAs which 'hot-inject' block data into RAM, essentially 'force-feeding' the processors. Each member of array dependent on total number of processors for what its specific task in the noncespace should be. Least nasty code, and UART data push to FPGAs simple to achieve in high level. Code would have to be altered if units were to be added or subtracted, lest the code increase in complexity for auto-detection. 2. Homogenous master node - One Cell unit boots a full Linux OS on its PPE core, and delegates its SPEs and other processor units as to what task to carry out. More nasty code, but array is not dependent on the number of processors present - that is, the code will be the same for 2 or 10 CPUs present. 3. "Democratic" node setup - All nodes (CPUs) arrayed in a headless server configuration. This takes the least work, and the least amount of inter-processor communication, at the expense of being the closest in complexity to a bunch of PS3s mounted on custom PCBs. Personally, while I endorse the first one the most as I feel it is the 'easiest' method to implement without being a cheap-shot, the second method allows for quite possibly the most optimized results. The only issue here is that we would have to have more information on how interprocessor communication functions. This is where we need more help. The southbridge for the Cell processor has PCI endpoints, but we need to know how it communicates and reads over that bus. This is a definite candidate for IP comm, and prevents the processor chain from having to package and publicize the data over a LAN connection like it would for GbE communication. If any of you guys know how such a communication scheme would work into code, you'd be much wanted in the project circle. Also, if you check the second post (the project information/status post), I've added a GitHub repo link as well as a LTC address that is earmarked for project research. Anything helps, and even if you can't contribute knowledge, you'll still be able to know you helped get the Superminer on two legs. The first options sound the more doable option in the short term. The second is more stream lined then the first. The last one would be the ideal one in the long run. |

The theory is sound. I'll keep an eye on this project. How much is the cell processor go per unit or bulk?
That's one of the principal issues - the source of units themselves. Right now the only practical route is to buy busted PS3s for around the $50 range and flow off the Cells. Keeping in mind, a quad i7 is about $150 for the laptop variety, so provided nothing else, it's still not a bad deal. Test and resell the PSUs, drives and Wi-Fi / BT modules, and with any luck, the processor might be valued at free. Problem is, a malfunctioning PS3 doesn't exactly have a steady price, but for R&D purposes the second-hand route works fine. If this project can produce a functioning prototype, I may start a crowd-sourced Kickstarter to finance a small contract to IBM for the chips - they're keeping these things locked down TIGHT. A slight bonus that I'll do once I get the reflow chip salvage up and running for members of the forum is sell the mobos and some of the RSXs (essentially an Nvidia GPU) for experimenting/parts replacement/wall decoration, and for cheap. True, price on broken PS3 can vary per person's personal value. On craigslist, I've seen as low as $15 to as high as $100 for broken ones, but on average between $20 to $50. |

I think GPU... cause they are faster and better...
Only if you got cheap electricity cost or get electricity for free. I've made more with my 16 cpu cores than my GPU's for the past 3 weeks with XPM and even more with PTS. PTS? what is this? Protoshares that will be also Bitshares onces the genesis block begins. |
