Hi everyone! My name among friends is Deltron, and I'm an ASE Certified Master Auto Tech. Looking to do a little bit of moonlighting here to help out the community should the need arise.
We all have cars, and they all break down. Not everyone knows how to work on them, but with my help I can point you in the right direction, and hopefully guide you to a solution.
If nothing else, I can help you figure out if your mechanic is trying to hose you or not.
I have full 24/7 access to AllData, the industries leading diagnostic database, and I have 14 years experience on the job as well.
No question is too tough, although there are some limitations to what I can answer without physically being there.
If your question is related to a check engine light(referred to as MIL from here on out(malfunction indicator lamp)), please have the failure code pulled from your vehicles computer before posting. This can be done at your local Autozone for free, but try not to listen to anything they have to say beyond the code number. ( PXXXX (IE: P0340)) They're quite dumb over there.
Remember, the more detailed you are, the better. And don't forget year/make/model/engine size
Let the games begin!
Is this a free service? Seems too good to be free!! It's for BTC tips. I'd rather not mandate a price since someone could ask me how to change brake pads, and the next post someone could ask how to diagnose a bad evaporative purge solenoid. When I do side jobs at the house, I get $35/hour, if you're looking for a baseline to judge off. |

There's an issue with the website share tracking, at least so far as I can tell. Just fired up cuda again about 5 minutes ago, have 16 accepted shares in it, but the site is only showing 1.
Up to 19 accepted on my end, 3 valid on your end.

Damn I hope this one doesn't flop out. He seems like one of the only doge pool owners that actually knows wtf they're doing..

hello,
I wandered when i get my shares, can not find enything about it.
I mined 6 hours now and going to stop.
Even with ltc mining i see what i have earned and get an transaction in 1 day, but here is not clear to me.
Yesterday i earned in p2pool 5000 doge in 12 hours and here i see nothing yet.
Perhaps you should mention how often or when you pay out on the homepage.
Sory if I overlooked it.

Round payouts are given after the round is completed, and then a subsequent 30(I think?) confirmations of your earnings. This round has been active for nearly 16 hours now. No one has been paid out on it yet, but I can confirm that it does pay out(rather quickly!) once a new block has been found and your prior earnings are confirmed. binaryclock has even been so kind as to allow automatic payments as low as 200 coins, which is basically every round(LOVE IT). Stick with it, it'll come. |

Whoa. Wasn't expecting nearly as detailed an answer. Sounding like there's not much reason to bother with it (has run relatively fine for ~1yr), but worth the education. Tipped about the max I could as someone driving that.  lol!  Thanks for your patronage! Happy motoring! |

Oy. I think the next block is hiding inside Shiba's crate or something.. 250% and climbingggggg

'96 Taurus w/V6. Revving engine while in neutral does not result in "linear" increase in RPM, instead resulting in "hiccups." It'll rev a bit, then "hiccups" (combustion rate appears to slow dramatically for ~1-2 seconds) and RPM decreases significantly before heading up again. It's done this since purchase, and I'm unable to tell if performance while driving is affected (flooring it while in drive does not seem to replicate issue). Asked for diagnosis at nearby auto shop in middle of nowhere, received unauthorized tune-up for 1/4 the car's worth which did not resolve issue.
Is this actually an issue or is this normal behavior?
Excellent one to start off with! It's most certainly not normal behavior. Computer controlled vehicles, especially 1996+ (OBD-II), are very precisely engineered. Anything that seems "off" usually is. Your problem, sadly, could have multiple reasons. TPS(throttle position sensors) are potentiometers, and can develop a bit of a dead spot. While free-revving the engine in neutral, it dramatically exaggerates problems that might not be seen while in drive, because engine load can overshadow them. This can't be seen without an oscilloscope or very pricey scan tool. Faulty fuel pressure regulating can also produce your symptoms, but I would expect to see issues while in drive as well. You can rent a pressure gauge from Autozone(fee refunded 100% on return of tool). Your pressure should be between 35-45psi with key on, engine off. It should hold steady for quite some time, too. Another quick test of the FPR(pressure regulator) would be to take the vacuum line off of it. If the diaphragm inside has ruptured, gas will be in the vacuum line(shouldn't be under normal conditions). When that happens, the vacuum of the intake manifold pulls fuel through the lines and into the cylinders without the computer knowing it, and causes stumbles and general rough running. The tuneup that was performed might have been a step in the right direction. Ignition coils are generally "2-stage", meaning that the power they produce for idling is separate from the power they produce when throttle is applied. The secondary windings in the coil could be bad, causing your issue. Lastly, the MAF(mass airflow sensor, big blockey sensor in the plastic part of your intake tube) could be the culprit as well. This is another one that will require a pricey scan tool to figure out. One thing you could do though is examine the filament inside of it. If you take the MAF out of the car and look inside, you'll see a tiny tiny wire going across the inside. This wire should be as white as a tissue. If it's not, you can clean it with some spray chemicals. Autozone sells MAF Cleaner. Don't use carburetor cleaner or brake cleaner as those are chlorinated chemicals and will destroy it. As an aside, this particular vehicle has about 6 TSB's(tech bulletins) from Ford talking about rough running, bad idle, etc etc. They require a reprogram of the computer. You might want to give Ford a call(have your VIN handy) and see what they say. All in all, given the age and (assumed) mileage, it might not be worth trying to find and fix the problem. If it's liveable and you experience no other issues, then I'd say.. keep on keepin on. Mine up some BTC and buy a new car! lol |

Should have called it: Sheepcoin!! The coin for those that follow!!
>implying that EVERY SINGLE PERSON trading BTC after it was created isn't a follower l2logic |

Is there a coin bonus for finding a block? I've seen that around other pools, not mentioned here. Not that I have any chance.. lol

yes! thank you. my gts450 just went from 78khash to 89khash! except now my system is dragging. sigh. time to buy an ati card i think. this one's about had it. |

I saw a wiki recently that showed the best command line options for nearly every GPU made to date with khash stats and stuff. Wheres that at?

Sorta new to all this, so bear with me here, but I'm noticing some ads here that are relating to cloud mining and/or VPN mining. It's an intriguing concept to me because mining from my gaming PC is leaving me in the shadows and nearly not worth it. I'm wondering if there are any cloud mining services that allow you to pay for their services with the coins that you mine. Sorta like.. a pool TX or something. That would be ideal for someone like me, since I'm basically completely off the grid and have no way to pay IRL money to a company online. No paypal, no nothing.

I wonder if anyone has compiled some sort of spreadsheet to show the diminishing returns of users like me with a midline gaming rig VS someone with $thousands invested into a purpose built mining rig. I've been mining here for 24 hours and my first payday was 900, then 500, and now this current round around 250. "Membership" has only gone up 100 people since I joined. If this climbs into the thouands I'll be back into 100 doge/day like any other pool. Sadface.
what's your hash rate and WU/m on cgminer? Using cuda since my GPU is nvidia. Doesn't show WU/m. Matter of fact I don't even know what that is.. lol Hash rate inside cuda is pretty much locked on at 78.44khash/s, which is dreadfully slow, but my GPU is a GTS450. I actually mine faster with my CPU, FX8150, when I crank it up to 4.4ghz, but it's rather unstable and from what I hear, a money sink. Try the new CUDA Miner, which got release within the last couple days.....seems to be pretty good and increased hashing power  Yeah that's the one I got. Released 12/18 |

The difficulty level is high. The hashrate will take a while to find a block. I run 10 other pools for different coins so I know the drill. Just leave the miners overnight and it should find a block or two, especially if it keeps growing. And when the blocks are found, since the hashrate is low, the rewards will be great.
If we were to find a block right now, we'd be at 25% of the way there to the expected number of shares we'd need. That would mean a block right now would be 400% more efficient than expected which would be incredible. Just hang on, it'll take a bit. My miners are there too :p
Excellent explanation for the noob in me. I'm watching your miner right now and I'm quite envious. I really need a big payoff here to fix some things in my life and I can't afford a better setup than my GTS450 gaming PC. Edit to add: Is there any way you can add a mouse-over tooltip or something to display how many confirmations are left for payouts? |
