check this out , i know i want a A2 now . with this site i can see me doing really good. I don't mind the PPS fee, i would rather do it as PPS any way.

They will , it made it past the 300 $ test, now well see, just how far it goes, from now till after Xmass we will Polly see them go higher and higher . my only worry now is if they hit 1000 $, how that's gonna go, will it last and go on from there ? .  that's gonna be the ultimate uber test.

Power usage is good this time around for there miners  but if the new Sha256 miners come out next year and bitmain does in fact lower there price with the new s7 at 3.5 th, in a few days, not sure how true that is yet, I'm selling my S5 either way, I'm selling them by DEC or buying one or two more, I see prices dropping  just because it's Xmass, and the new one from BM or who ever that was next year, the new one from Avalon, I keep seeing more and more about something about a Avalon 6, then there is SP with there 110 TH miner, I am willing to bet well see a home miner from them, they said , they weren't out of the home mining game, just yet, at one time, but well see.

5k for a 512 MH miner is to much and the only reason KNC got away with it they were one of first to break ground, they wouldn't now .


I would buy or may buy one of the 128 MH, maybe,I 'm not getting my hopes up any more for Script miners to many disappointments in the past with the L1 and Zeus doing what they did and all the Scam, rejects, that came out of that Zeus thing and I won't per order to risky  , the 512 MH this time around, i can afford , i won't buy, come out with a 256 MH miner at 560 or less at the wall for 1800 or less, sells will be better . if this even happens.



I know  Alcheminer came thu one other time, i all most bought one of the 256 MH ones a while back when it went down to 500 $, i think it was, but at 2200 watts at the wall , no way i wanted that power bill , so i bought one or two more SHA 256 miners like 2 S3 and one S5 etc, that kind of paid for it self.


I save my coins or hope to and only cash them in to pay the power bill as needed, so far that works for me.

Home mining is far from dead , you just can't do it like you could two years ago and until laws in the US or any were stop it or gear requirements, it more then likely won't until , I'm or most of us are dead and gone.

I know you may not have interest in Sfard chips but it looks as though those may soon come available soon.  

yeah...its not like these fun projects are gonna ROI any more then a smile anyway Smiley

(in my case it is for miner withdrawl for when my Titan's go doorstops) (below is link to my KNC shrine (Jupiter 550gh BTC miner on bottom self and now gravity assist device to keep bench down) Smiley

lostgonzo.imgur.com

I swing both ways BTC and LTC as a miner Smiley So you can use these imho if it makes sense.

The only way  I see me  worrying  about miner withdraws is there is no new gear be gotten other wise with coins going up , i see that not stopping, i turned my Zeus miners and Gblade 25 to 27 mh   back on and working on getting a A2 and with the new miner coming at a nice price, if that's true, i hope to see me doing it for a few more years in home. I like both Script and  SHA256  miners. and coins are going to keep a upbeat now but will have ups and downs, but what  part of life doesn't.Smiley .  


Hopping, Side can come thu for us which will drive the price of miners down even more .

Wow very detailed info so far..... Smiley

The 5 pin connector appears to be Dell-specific and might not be wired to work on a standard 4-pin header.

 Check the pinout on the connector.
The wires were in the connector in the wrong order. In order to work they had to be reordered to match the Antminer's header.


 OK, I could have been more detailed (except I couldn't see YOUR connector to see the pinout it was using), but I still claim the win.

 9-)


Are you assuming the fan not running is the issue?

The fan running is not the issue. The fan running without PWM is the issue......


it's The wiring, look At the plug in my link, see the Deference in the pin out ? .

2069  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Bitmain Antminer S6 and S7 Speculation on: October 30, 2015, 01:48:21 AM
This is a quote from a thread titled:  "GekkoScience BM1384 Project Development Discussion"

The following statement was edited by the original author but quoted by another member before it was edited.

No they haven't. All I've been told is S7 would be announced around July with the new "innovative and competetive chip" and that "right now we have no more info to the public". I would bet the comms are pretty similar to the BM1384, which was identical to the BM1382 as far as I can tell, but the pinouts and packages haven't yet been the same from one chip to the next so I don't expect them to do it again. Hopefully it wouldn't take long to adapt a functional BM1384 board to a BM1386 (or whatever) board if they don't change their IO protocols and voltages,  basically just redrawing footprints and rerouting some lines.

Then you can make some USB sticks, and make some return for the near future, I'm interested in the miners, but the questios is the cost of the unit.

If the numbering of rigs is consistent with past numbers of rigs by Bitmaintech, the S6 (even number) will be a large form factor with built-in PSU like the S2 and S4 models.  The S7 (odd number) will be a similar form factor to the S3 and S5 without PSU.

I would expect the S7 to be approximately 2 TH/s @ .37 watts per GH for a total of 740 watts to make it available for power from a 750 watt [preferably 850 watt] PSU.  

I would expect the S6 to be approximately 4 TH/s @ .35 watts per GH for a total of 1,400 watts from a built in PSU that is able to provide 1,600 to 1,800 watts for potential over clocking.

As for the pricing of each rig; only time will tell.  The price seems to fluctuate with the price of Bitcoin as of late.





well see with the new S7 coming @ 3.5 th in Nov, if it is still over priced , I'll hold out till Dec then sell all my S5 and wait for the new miner at a much reduced price in Jan or Feb, if that wasn't a BS story or even do one of the Group buys but that's not the same as having it in front of me .

I can sell all my S5 right now if want to for 300 to 310 and have them sold in no time till maybe Dec . add a PSU with a break out  board Maybe 90 more Smiley .

Hey  luke

I do have it working on a S1 and S3 but not hashing because it's not enabled by default the problem I'm having not entry sure its the problem , i can't enable it over openWRT, i think that is the only way to get the S1 and S3 enabled and work with all drivers is over openwrt ? like the S5 ? the S5 needs openwrt stuff to work but that controller has tons of space ,but the problem again is the S1/3 controller are not big enough to compile on . it does download all the drivers with openwrt, i did check it shows the bitmain controller with all drivers etc but I can't get it to enable --enable-bitmain on that controller in the BFGMINER file, due to the space on the S1 and S 3 controllers and CPing over the bfgminer file that has it enabled doesn't work it still shows it as not enabled using cp but that file works , is there any way you could enable it for openwrt , i do have a openwrt router coming, i tried to set up a pi as a openwrt file server but that's a pain, it seems routers them self work best,I'm still working on it.



IF that is how to, if not . I will figure it out .


IF im right here is what i get once I use openWRT and it's on the S1/3.

Configuring terminfo.
Configuring libevent2.
Configuring libncurses.
Configuring libmicrohttpd.
Configuring libusb-1.0.
Configuring bfgminer.

the Driver are there ?

but when I do a bfgminer --version  i get  


bfgminer 5.4.0
  Lowlevel: ftdi pci pci:uio spi usb vcom
  Drivers: antminer avalon avalonmm bfx bifury bigpic bitforce bitforce:pci bitury cairnsmore cointerra compac

  proxy proxy:getwork proxy:stratu rockminer twinfury x6500 zeusminer ztex
  Algorithms: SHA256d scrypt
  Options: ncurses


Shouldn't bitmain be in there some place for it work ? I know it's off by default and has to be complied to enabled. The rest is explained above.

 just making sure the above is why, I'm on the right track Smiley .

Fuck you, speculators. This time your shitty plan s not going to work. BTC s getting solid foundations and your pump and dump schemes wont work anymore.


That's what it feels very solid going forward no if or crash and burn  and run . it's more solid then  it  has been or felt , in other words it's not stopping, it will have it's up and downs, but nothing like it was . yea i know i can be wrong at any moment but it's more solid now then it has ever been.
2073  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: DIY S1 to S3 adapter-board on: October 29, 2015, 04:26:17 PM
Here is second and hopefully last version of my adapter. No more overheating regulator or trannys. This version should work with all S3 and C1 boards. Level shifting is done now with a schmitt-trigger buffer chip. It has same mounting holes than original S3-controller and mounting holes for S1-controller. Basically it's the same that came with BM's upgrade kit. This adapter has optional circuit to connect two more fans and control them with pwm from S1-controller or you can use external pwm signal. Test points provided also for TMP data signals. Those who bought original version of my adapter will get this one for free. And my thanks for testing them. Next project is already under construction. And I finally got some S5's so I'll tweak them a little.



nice can't say any of mine ever worked right but as we spoke in emails , i didn't care and went with what ever you wanted ")

Bitmain published instructions for building firmware images somewhere (sorry, it's been too long; I don't have the link anymore), but I was unable to get them to work on my 32-bit Gentoo system (you may have better luck on a 64-bit Ubuntu).

2075  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: BFGMiner 5.4.0: GBT+Stratum, RPC, Mac/Linux/Win64, Antminer S1-S5, Alchemist on: October 27, 2015, 10:12:17 PM
The startup rejects are because they never difficulty for the first job, and don't send a new job for some seconds after you login.
But then they reject shares that meet the initial difficulty (1).

What cgminer does, is to apply the first set_difficulty retroactively to any jobs received without a known share difficulty.
I considered making this change in BFGMiner also, but decided against it, because for a compliant stratum pool (where the initial difficulty is in fact valued as 1), this would result in losing credit for all the shares found against that first job.
On the other hand, for CKPool-based servers, the only downside of BFGMiner's stratum-compliant behaviour is that it counts those shares as rejects.
Unless your pool is penalising you for rejected shares, this shouldn't matter (and if they are, especially when they're at fault for those rejects as is the case here, I suggest using another pool!).

As an aside, CKPool appears to have a bug in stratifier.c line 3112-3114:
Code:
	/* Accept the lower of new and old diffs until the next update */
if (id < client->diff_change_job_id && client->old_diff < client->diff)
diff = client->old_diff;
This will cause miners which strictly comply with the stratum spec to have shares at the new difficulty valued only at the old one.
So if the share difficulty adjusts from 1024 to 512 (for example), stratum says shares for the old job should continue to be submitted only if they meet difficulty 1024.
However, CKPool will only "count" those shares as if they were difficulty 512, at half their proper value.
This is a potential loss for miners, but probably insignificantly small.
Given their history of ignoring and/or trolling bug reports from me, I have not bothered to report it. But please feel free to do so if it matters to you.


TY luke kind thought that was why i don't normally use CK pools at all but sense the compac club does i will , no I'm ting my best to not start shit, I'll hate later on and why i said normal so everyone is cool with everyone else. but ty I kind thought what you said is why but for reason i stated i want no hassle from any one . Ive found in my all most 60 years of living some times silence it best .


now one more question  can you or anyone point me in the right direct that can or will explain to me how to add to a firm ware image with updates, it gets old, compiling BFG  after two or three reboots some times after one reboot . no idea why it some times holds thu  2 to 3 reboots then wipes it on the forth or 5 th reboot .  i know it has to be saved to a image and then uploaded as a firmware up date for it to hold but how or were do i look i can't find to much on it . i know i will sooner or later find it , but till then maybe some one can share that ? .

2077  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC climbing in a slow stable climb on: October 27, 2015, 09:45:18 PM

 well it's close to 300 and holding but now is the real test  . I'm not excited and hoping once it breaks in to the 300 range it keeps going up then hits 500 and stays there a month or two but for now I'm just hoping once it breaks into the 300 $ coins it holds and goes on ,I'm holding my breath so to speak and hope for the best.I know it hit 300 over the week end but also knew that wouldn't hold, now is the real test and i have my hopes ans Doubts now. no idea from here but hope it holds and keep going .

It will not go straight to $500. It will stay around $250-350 for several month. Then the expectation of halving will send the price higher.

that's what i'm hoping for , I some how knew when it started this climb it had the feeling of power behind it that wasn't like all the others before that was so over whelming to me  i just had to post the excitement  i felt.
I hope it doesn't go right to 500 but when it does it stays there for a few months then at some point it does hit a 1000 $ coin but is stable enough to handle it.



but for now . I'm not really to excited as before but still have a good feeling, were as with the last 300 climb the feeling wasn't the same,and i hope it stays like this and like you said it is gonna have those ups and down but not like they were before  Smiley .

  • Pool option #cksuggest to use CKPool-compatible mining.suggest_difficulty stratum extension.

Could you please explain how to use this command?  I do not see it in the readme and it does not appear to be a command line option.  Thank you!

I believe you add "/#cksuggest" to the end of the pool URL.





That's how but what does it do ? .  I Don't see were it did any thing on CKpool .



It causes the difficulty request set by '--request-diff' to be sent in the format expected by ckpool, I would imagine.  I have not tried it, but that's what I would expect it to do.



I know what it does and how to use it Smiley . what I don't know is how to test it to see if it works maybe i should say, i did use it but didn't see any improvement, if its meant to . i should be more clear, i never really had a issue to start with . Smiley . my issue with compact and bFG and CK pool is on start up any version OF BFG that's works with compac, i get maybe 20 rejects then it kicks  in and works great, i haven't seen any one say or complain about that so i take it as normal and thought maybe that might fix it, if my issue is even a issue . I don't get that with CGmiiner made by novak .I don't get it, on any other pool with BFG and that stick miner .

Can I change the voltage of Gridseed orbs and Zeus Blizzards(Gaw Fury) using the new BFGMiner or do I have to actually go in and put new resistors in them?



for that i believe it has no software adjustment that would be on the hardware not bfg sadly so yea you would have put new resistors to adjust it or up or down I'm guessing you want down for less power usages ?.


I saw a guide some place on how to for both Zeus miner and Grindseed  Smiley .




read me in 5.4 if you missed it  Smiley .

GRIDSEED
--------

Gridseed units, at the present time, come in two versions: Blade - a 40 chip
unit and Orb - a 5 chip unit. Orb units can be used to mine both SHA256d and
scrypt based coins whereas the Blade is scrypt only, although BFGMiner only
supports scrypt mode at this time.

BFGMiner allows a miner to connect both types of units to a single miner
instance and provides for granular control of the clock frequencies for each
device and each chip on each device. The basic use of this feature is to use the
--set option on from the command line:

bfgminer --scrypt -S gridseed:all --set gridseed@<serial_number>:clock=825

for multiple devices, add multiple --set arguments.

Additionally, these can be added to the bfgminer.conf file for persistence like
this:

"set" : [
        "gridseed@<serial_number>:clock=825",
        "gridseed@<serial_number>:clock=850",
        "gridseed@<serial_number>:clock=875"
]

To find the device serial number, start bfgminer and press <M> to manage
devices, then <Page Down> or <down arrow> through the list of devices and take
note of the device serial number in the device information shown.

...
Select processor to manage using up/down arrow keys
 GSD 0a:       |  74.4/ 72.9/ 10.2kh/s | A:  1 R:0+0(none) HW:0/none
  STM32 Virtual COM Port from STMicroelectronics
Serial: 6D85278F5650
Clock speed: 875
...

So for example, an entry would look like this:
        gridseed@6D85278F5650:clock=875


ZEUSMINER
---------

Zeusminers do not support autodetection, so you will need to use --scan to probe
for them:

-S zeusminer:\\.\COM3

You should also configure the driver for your specific device:

    --set zeusminer:clock=N        Clock frequency (default: 328)
    --set zeusminer:chips=N        Number of chips per device
        Blizzard    :  6          Cyclone     :  96
        Hurricane X2: 48 (2*24)   Hurricane X3:  64 (2*32)
        Thunder   X2: 96 (4*24)   Thunder   X3: 128 (4*32)
Note: if you set this option incorrectly, the device may underperform and/or
      misreport hashrate.

For example:

bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool:port -u user -p pass -S zeusminer:\\.\COM3 --set zeusminer:clock=328 --set zeusminer:chips=128
