Any idea where to get that DC1613A USB-PMBus dongle? Both Digikey and Mouser will have them only on end of July... I have looked at the official schematic and it doesn't seem complicated, but I don't know if it is only a "dumb" converter between USB and PMBus interfaces or the built-in PIC microcontroller have some proprietary firmware loaded.

Wait Wait.
You guys are saying that with the FPGA and bitstream code OP has, someone with deep pockets can actually produce an ASIC from it?
Maybe. But that ASIC would be static and could not be modified to other algos. FPGA can be pre-programmed quite easily if coins do changes to their algos. You won't have a doorstopper/heater from FPGA overnight as you have with cryptonight ASICs now. |

I got the same lead time in EU. Can you recommend any rack server for these? I guess they won't fit in normal 2U servers like HPE Proliant as most spec only one full width full height card as the board is double height if I understand it correctly. |

these can be reprogrammed if there is a fork yes but it will still take a month or 2. It takes minutes to switch software on gpu.
Also the next generation of gpus 10nm and 7nm will be out this year that will be big efficiency increase for gpu. Its gonna be a while longer for fpga to get to 10nm and 7nm.
the gap will be closing before you are even finished. Mining is moving so quick now.
Good luck.
Why do you think it would take a month to re-program FPGA to a new fork? I guess it takes max few days after the code for GPU is released as the fork changes are quite small, so the only few lines of code is changed, but enough so that it breaks already manufactured custom ASICs. It can take few months to design new custom algo for FPGA, but not to make few changes due to fork. |

For any European purchase, the minimum warranty time is 24 months. That is why it would be better to buy those card from your local dealer, than bittware directly.
Of course, your local dealer will take this into account for pricing.
Local dealer would probably sell only to companies (and not end users), where the EU consumer warranty rules don't apply. |

if baikal n is FPGA is it possible the baikal or other developers can change the software to mine like baikal B ? or some other algorithms ?
i read some where that BAIKAL N is a opensource
No, it is ASIC, not FPGA (see the photos in this thread). Yes, it uses modified opensource miner as for the software, but the chip is ASIC and it's not possible to modify it. |

Monero community could be vibrant, but good question is why the monero devs didnt increased the scratchpad size from the current size (2Mb), fpga miners are not affected by this fork  Because that would significantly hurt CPU miners. |

Their github repository is just clone of monero from Oct 2017 without any commits since then. And was created just yesterday. I doubt they will manage to spread the "XMC" to people and pools in 2 days without any software ready. But maybe they want to mine privately first... |

Coin owners (developers) try to achieve the highest possible price for their coin. If Electroneum like Monero, change the algo, There will be very small daily trade volume on all other Cryptonight coins. So, it will be much more coins to sell, then buyers need. Open market, and we will have a big price drop.
Graft developers, want the best for their project for sure, and I believe that they will follow trend of antiASIC algo change, and protect the Graft value.
The number of coins mined per day does not depend on the network hashrate. Introduction of ASICs will just cause those daily-mined coins to be in hands of few people instead of many people like now. |

I do not know if I laugh or kill someone jajajaja, the truth is that I transferred 100 XLC to Cryptopia and they arrived without problems, then I sent 50 XLC to cryptopia and they arrive without problems, I am deigned to send me 2500 XLC to Cryptopia and they block me the coins , the wallet generates a TXID but with a question mark "?", I waited several hours and the transaction never appeared, after a couple of hours I had to restart my lapto and when I went back to my wallet I asked for a password , something strange because I never configure it with a password, after that I had to reinstall the wallet and with the backup I had to synchronize the wallet, I reviewed my transaction history and it turns out that there are 100 and 50 that had already been confirmed , but the 2500 disappeared and my balance is 0, hahaha well done by developers, I was scammed.
Scammed by who? Does the wallet show a transaction for those 2500 coins going somewhere? If not, the coins are still yours. If TX shows going to Cryptopia, you need to wait and/or contact them (yesterday they had XLC deposits paused again). If you see TX going somewhere else, then yes you've got scammed/hacked (or how you want to call it) and the coins are no longer yours. You just need to understand the blockchain... if you have coins in your wallet, the only way for them to go elsewhere is via a transaction (and fully synced wallet would show you that). |

Is it possible to trade Dashcoin somewhere now? I have found only Cryptopia, but they have the wallet in status Maintenance and I don't know if that is a temporary issue or they stopped the trading...
Where did you find that HitBTC is on the other blockchain? Is it possible to verify it somewhere before sending the coins?

This article also mentioned pool luck and according to it, Slush is not that bad  http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/2013/11/november-10th-2013-weekly-pool-and.html2. Most big pools have bad luck this week.
In order of crappiness of luck (worst luck to best luck):
Pool Mean shares/round/difficulty CDF
1 Itzod 1.19 0.73
2 Giga's pool 1.12 0.75
3 GHash.IO 1.11 0.96
4 Slush 1.08 0.76
5 BTCGuild 1.05 0.82
6 Bitminter 1.04 0.65
7 Eligius 0.94 0.22
8 Bitparking 0.79 0.36
9 p2Pool 0.71 0.11
10 Polmine 0.69 0.24
11 Eclipse 0.68 0.04
This means is was probably a bad luck week for the network. However, it should be noted that
the CDF for all pools were within a 95% confidence interval and so when
averaged over the week none had unusually good or bad luck. |

I didn't think to order a power supply in advance, doh. The strongest wallwart I can find in my house I'm not using is 12V 2A. I saw burnin mention earlier in thread that a 12V 2.5A would be okay to run a single bitburner board. Would a 12V 2A work safely? I'm running a single 20 chip XX board.
No, it's not enough for BTB. Non-overclocked BTB should take about 50W (on 12V that about 4 A), overclocked to 450 MHz takes about 105 W (that's 8.75 A on 12V). |

What would happen if I connected the second board to a second/different PSU (while the power stacking stays in place)? Would that work or cause a short circuit or even damage the boards?
I have tried lots of ghetto-style connection setups including powering from different PSUs, different channels of a single PSU, different power connectors of the BTB (jack, ATX, power stacking connectors) at the same time. Nothing bad happened so far. I don't recommend that. There can be huge currents flowing from one PSU to the other. The system will try to average the +12v voltage over the two PSUs - current will flow from lower voltage PSU to the PSU which has slightly bigger voltage at that moment. That current can easily overload the wires and burn them. Running BB boards on one PSU connector is close to the current rating of wires on most ATX PSU. For example I use Molex-to-PCIE cable and Molex connector is rated only for 8-10 A, which is what 2 overloclocked BB boards take, so the connectors are quite warm (but as there is enough air flowing, not hot). I have tried to use part of cheap Molex-to-SATA cable at home (instead of SATA I connected it to the green stacking connector). The cable insulation was gone in smoke after 10 seconds... so these currents is no fun and can be dangerous if not done properly. BTW, the same applies if you use ATX PSU with separate +12v segments and connect +12v1 to +12v2 segments together. Currents will start flowing through your connection (grounds are already connected in any PC, so they are not an issue). It is OK to run first BB with first +12v1 segment, and another with +12v2 and have them connected via CAN, but DON'T connect the power stacking cable in that case. |

Seems to help the hashrate a bit (+1 Ghash for 2 Bitburners). What is strange is that when I set the voltage to 1334, it shows in cgminer as ~1360 (although at startup is says that it has set it to 1334). So now I use 1304 and it shows up as 1333.

What is the latest Bitburner firmware? I have received it today and cgminer shows "Controller Version=2000000001".

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, no tracking code for me yet. Order number was 6xx. Batch #1 SebastianJu, though. Quite disappointing.
I've got tracking number yesterday night, unfortunately I was at work today when UPS arrived, so have to wait until tomorrow. Also SebastainJu batch #1, order 6xx. |

Hello, We get a lot of mails concerning the assembly of this batch of chips by Burnin. I'm afraid we can't do or change anything about these existing orders. Please address Burnin for this: http://www.burninmining.com/contact/Does this mean you are not involved in it at all and burnin will ship them directly to us? |
|
|

I would suggest you contact burnin ASAP and ask him - he may not realise there is still interest in the Avalon product given so much talk about refunds (in his thread too) but since he pre-ordered many parts for it, he might be willing to take some more orders for it. roy All, please don't panic and read the entire announcement, it is mentioned there that he will process existing orders: existing orders will be processed and delivered or refunded. |
