Mining is almost dead for the little guys its unfortunate but its the facts. Maybe its time to start mining new coins and hope for the best.
What is considered a little guy? Serious questions here. 100TH/s and less might be a good cut-off point, somewhere around there? |

I would only use these in "ninja" applications where I didn't have to pay for the electricity, like a desk lamp at work, or maybe in a garage. I like my lights to be as cool and efficient as possible, I'm not seeing either of those aspects in these bulbs. Novel, but not practical. |

New at this...how do I know if I hit a block...I find ~31 BTC in my wallet ?  Well I don't know where the other 6 BTC or so came from, but what a nice surprise. |

Well done, solo miner, congrats on the nice fee. |

Thanks for video! What are the machines? They almost remind me of the silverfish 28 but a bitcoin version or something. Anyone have a idea what the skinny small machines were? You can see them around 6:15 in video. Looks like S5's laying on there side... edit: thought you were talking about pictures, not the video. Whooopsy That video is old as hell and they are paying approximately $0.09 cents per kWH with the power costs and wattage reported in the video. Yes, those are S5's on their sides in the pics. Nope, I asked in their thread and Eric said they are S3s. I'm guessing they removed the bottom plate on all the machines. |

Pretty sure it does not carry over when >100.

You will look like a genius if this does happen and you are able to buy back in. I will be impressed . Also I will be VERY happy if we get 2 negatives in a row, that would be great mining. Bitwsidom: Bitcoin Difficulty: 47,589,591,154 Estimated Next Difficulty: 46,236,511,050 (-2.84%) Adjust time: After 1851 Blocks, About 12.9 days Hashrate(?): 331,796,958 GH/s I'm still waiting for our first double digit negative, that will be a good sign. |

so by using "stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333.worker_name" I can tell the pool what worker to use?
No, the worker name is not part of the pool address, it's usually part of the btc address (user name) as I stated. If your pool supports the naming convention I mentioned then that's how you do it. Check your pool for how to assign worker names. |

How low can we go, how low can we go? Everybody do the diff drop dance.
Someone messed up their dances and did the "price drop" one apparently. I sold off 16.5 btc . In the 230 to 248 range. I must have started a run  Maybe it was your 16.5, or maybe it's KNC and their 9000+ that are on the move: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1077623.0 |

edit: How do I assign a valid worker_name to my device (type)? (by that I mean grouping my U3s and U2s in different workers each)
Your pool will have instruction how to do that, usually its [btc address].[worker name] or something similar. |

So I should use cgminer 4.9.0 instead of 4.9.1? Were there any drastic changes made?
Those settings were the default settings I got from the U3 support website.
So in other words every parameter should be replaced by one in the README.txt?
edit: Instead of starting parameters I've decided to use the cgminer.conf. Are there any disadvantages by doing so instead of writing a detailed script?
4.9.1 doesn't work with the U3, but 4.9.0 does. The U3 support site gives parameters to use with their hacked cgminer, they're not valid with the current software. I use a .bat file to launch cgminer and have all my config stuff there. au3-volt 850 --au3-freq 250
Those are the maximum settings, a good way to burn out your U3 and its stock power supply. If you're going to overclock, don't use the stock power supply. Also, don't just set volt/freq to the max, it's unnecessary. Every U3 is different, play around with voltages ~765~830 and freqs 237.5, 244.75, and 250 and see what works for you. Warning, the U3s are garbarge and you'll find out quickly enough that almost no matter what you do the U3 will do what it wants, zombie out, LIBSUB error, etc etc. |

Sounds great. It's working now. Beautiful GUI. Nice job. One last question for now: In your program, my rigs appear to "come and go", meaning they always appear to switch from offline to online (fairly constantly). This tends to cause all of the other windows to continually re-arrange themselves. Is there anything I can do about this?
Are your rigs on your local network or hosted externally? It's switching status because it's taking longer than 2 seconds to get a response from the miner. They are local. Anything I can do to speed up response time? Not sure what you can do locally... However if you want to edit a file, you can change this value until the next release. Navigate to: C:\cryptoglance\application\includes\classes\miners\ Open with notepad: cgminer.php Search for: $socket = stream_socket_client('tcp://'.$this->_host.':'.$this->_port, $errno, $errstr, 2);Replace with: $socket = stream_socket_client('tcp://'.$this->_host.':'.$this->_port, $errno, $errstr, 10);One of my widows did that from time to time and now I know why, thanks! Is any integer a valid input? I would think 5 seconds would be enough time, for example. |

Use cgminer 4.9.0 and the correct au3 parameters from readme (not bmsc junk). Readme tells you what each parameter does.

it give you this
{"hashrate1m": "1.24T", "hashrate5m": "1.31T", "hashrate1hr": "981G", "hashrate1d": "73.1G", "hashrate7d": "10.7G", "lastupdate": 1433138570, "workers": 3, "bestshare": 23563035.189569253}
from your username which is your btc address.. thats all the info one would need.
Thank you for this! If you implement this, please use a unixtime stamp converter so it will show the lastupdate in a time format human beings can understand. |

Had a close look at the block we just found an hour ago ... Well done TheOneJester ... been hashing with ~1.14TH (average for just the past 2 weeks) and found the block - good luck for you and everyone on the pool Edit: heh xZork, you just beat me to it Edit2: he's actually beaten the record lowest total diff submitted since he started mining to find a block. The record was SP20winner who submitted a total of 1.306G and has the block he found that won the SP20 TheOneJester is now just under that with a total of only 1.218G diff submitted - great luck! Well done, probably a single S5? Gives us little guys hope. |

and can you add solo.ckpool.org to the list of pools that you can show?
Not sure the solo pool has much information we can pull, or if it even has an API. I'll look into this though. cool thanks. it give you this {"hashrate1m": "1.24T", "hashrate5m": "1.31T", "hashrate1hr": "981G", "hashrate1d": "73.1G", "hashrate7d": "10.7G", "lastupdate": 1433138570, "workers": 3, "bestshare": 23563035.189569253} from your username which is your btc address.. thats all the info one would need. I second this suggestion, would love to have this panel available in CG. |
