What other reasons are possible?
1. Don't want to. 2. Don't want a bag of pennies. |

Throwing 230Ghs at a bitcoin client may not work so well. I have heard of others having to setup pool software so that they could solo mine with one 60Ghs Avalon because the Bitcoin-qt couldn't handle that hashrate. Sam |

SO i was thinking about giving htis a go for a week or 2 but what i have read online is limited and scattered...... can anyone point me in the direction of a easy to follow guide on setting up solo mining with bitcoin client and bfgminer
thanks in advance
Bitcoin-qt.exe -rpcuser=userid -rpcpassword=password -server Point your mining software to your localhost address (127.0.0.1:8332) with the userid and password you selected in the bitcoin-qt command line. Done. Good Luck, Sam |

"--temp-cutoff" doesn't work for me, my GPU keeps on hashing even above the allowed target temperature. cgminer -o pool-de.50btc.com:8332 -u [username] -p [password] -o http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 -u [username] -p [password] -I 9 --temp-cutoff 70 pause http://abload.de/img/tempcutoffgcjnu.pngAnybody got an idea? I don't remember but don't you need --auto-gpu for that? Interesting. But what if I don't want cgminer to mess with my GPU clock speed? I just want it to stop if the temp gets too high. Is there a way to achieve that? Well at least enable auto fan and set your target temp below your cutoff temp. Right now your cutoff temp is 70C and you left the target set to the default of 75C. You may want to set an overheat temp in between somewhere too. But --auto-fan is what enables the fan temp control. Just curious, why do you want to cut off your GPU at such a low temp? Sam |

Yeah, that will explain everything. This pool could be 10x times bigger. But, NMC, why bother... no?
Good luck guys.
NMC is a waste of time and effort. It's an abandoned project that has failed and was never meant to be a currency. It caused problems for EVERY pool that has ever implemented Merged Mining. And it is worthless. But hey, besides that it's just great. Sam |

Hiya guys recently moved my 4 miners to Deepbit but i have a problem i hope someone can help solve as for me its a big issue. Half the time i control my Miners in the summer via remote desktop from my PC and also my iPhone. But where the problem comes in when switching to this pool is the app i have called BTCmon that usually shows the speed of each miner on other pools but for some reason it only shows miners running or not. The reason this is such a big deal is i push all my 7970's as far as they can go and every now and then a driver will crash and i can instantly tell using BTCmon then remote access real fast ,reboot and start mining again. I currently have 8 cards running so depending on temp changes etc 1 can drop at any time.
Now i explained my problem is there anything i can do or use to monitor my miners besides just knowing they are on as this can make or break me staying with deepbit which i am starting to rather enjoy although i do wish it was merged with NMC also but cant win them all.
Please help
Thanks MybadOmen
Sounds to me like you need to contact the author of your app so that you can see the hashrate. Also you can enable email notifications for your workers when they are down. |

Hello guys, I get there because I thought this may be a cheap and good pool to run my hardware. After reading https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools, I saw fee of 1% / 2% for DGM. But looks like it's on 3% right now. So turns out this pool is exactly the same like BTC Guild (apart from different reward algorithm), it's paying Tx Fees, NMC and fee is 3%. Is there any chance to lower Fee to 2%? This may attract more users and pool hashrate will grow. WIth today's 3% I don't have much choice, but go somewhere else. Please consider. Regards Lenny DGM is 1%. If your paying 3% it may because you set your contribution to an additional 2% to be a VIP member. That is completely optional. Check this comparison chart for accurate information. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104664.msg1146108#msg1146108Sam |

I was talking about the demand.
I guess we'll see.  |

264 NMC to earn a BTC. Its going to take a while. NMC may run up in line with BTC due to its reliance on alternate economy it does seem it'll require its own lookup system eventually, ie. I presume its usage will increase and so too worth dramatically.
On that basis I think its best left unconverted
Uh, sure, increasing the quantity of something always increases its value?!? Ever hear of supply and demand? |

Not using --auto-fan,
Use --auto-fan and --auto-gpu |

You know, I've rarely had HW errors with my GPUs. How come these USB Eruptors that cost as much as a new gen GPU produce ANY HW errors at all?
Supposedly that is the nature of all ASIC's. |
|
|
|
What's the formula to calculate HW error % rate? HW divided by A?
That is how I'm calculating it. |
|
|
|
Increasing the suggested difficulty of the stratum miner in cgminer, causes many more hardware errors.
When difficulty is set to 1 on slush's pool, I experience well below 0.5% hw errors.
When difficulty is set to 8 on slush's pool, I experience around 25% hw errors.
The math doesn't seem right for it being 8 times more difficult.
I'm going to experiment with the difficulties, but it seems that 1 works really well, testing out 3 now.
Update: It appears that every increase in difficulty via stratum doubles hw errors. Meh, just leaving it on 1 and calling it a night.
Are you calculating HW errors against U: or WU:? I would expect the same HW: error rate against the WU: regardless of difficulty. Is that the case? When using higher than Diff1 your hardware errors aren't increasing there are fewer shares being submitted, but they are worth more. So I would suspect if you convert your A: to Diff1 shares your error rate would be about the same. |

Hi guys,
doesn't the last version of cgminer work with these things?
What about the pool? Is any of them still good ?
CGMiner 3.2.1 has been working great for me. Any Bitcoin pool that works with GPU's will work with these. What's your setup and did you compile it yourself? Also what is your error rate? I feel like I may need to format my PC and restart. No I didn't compile it myself, I downloaded the Windoze binary. I'm running Win7 32 Bit. I installed the WinUSB driver with the Zadig utility and then plugged in a block erupter and it assigned it to WinUSB. My HW: error rate is around 1%. Don't know about formatting and restarting? The setup was very easy. I'm using USB 2.0 Ports directly to my PC. I have four devices connected at the moment and am running two instances of CGMiner with 2 devices going to each pool. I didn't have the forethought to order my USB Hubs and fans ahead of time. Hopefully I will get them tomorrow and connect my other two devices. I ordered two 7 port Rosehill USB Hubs which have 5 powered ports and are USB 2.0. Hopefully they will work without issue for my 6 devices. I'll post my results when I get it all setup. Sam |

It looks like Deepbit has been changing difficulties between the last difficulty and the current one.

Here is my file: cd \Bitcoin Miners\cgminer-3.2.2-windows
cgminer-nogpu.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u user_1 -p password --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-
timing 3.0=100
pause All you need is cgminer-nogpu.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u user_1 -p password |

A little while ago the difficulty went up to 19.3M.
I'm running two instances of CGMiner 3.2.1 and they both reported going to 19.3M. About 10 minutes later one of them went back to 15.6m. And now about 15 minutes after that it went back to 19.3M.
Any idea what just happened here? Has anyone else ever seen something like this before?
Thanks,
Sam

I've been mining with 2Gh/s for 9 hours and my BTC balance has not changed. Can someone please enlighten me?
A block hasn't been found in the last 9 hours by Deepbit? Maybe? so based upon that, is it a good assumption that deepbit is dead? Why would that be a good assumption? There are several medium sized pools that go over 9 or even 24 hours between rounds at this difficulty. If you don't like that then you can switch to Deepbits PPS which has a 10% fee but you won't have to wait till a block gets solved to get your revenue. I switched to another pool when I posted that. This am, I found an extra 0.01 BTC in my deepbit profile. Do you think deepbit has the lowest fees? I'm using btcmp right now. The rewards pop up instantly so I guess it's more gratifying. What do you think? I've tried to look at the pool comparison wiki, but I get confused. Thanks! Deepbit doesn't have the lowest fees. But it is a very mature and stable pool. There are considerations beside fee to look at. |
