The original forum thread setup for this spoke about a tool they designed to check the cores etc... Does ANYONE have any of these tools backed up? Firmware etc?

Any miner to be released in 2016 will be crossing over the halving around July in it's effective life. So I think price of miners are going down as we creep closer to the halving day as revenue from the miners will drop. I would not speculate price vs hash rate now because it's a completely new market in 6 months.

Well I downloaded this last night as well and ran it as admin and then selected the option to list all devices and then proceeded to replace the driver for the M1 Device.

So after doing so it appears that bfgminer can no longer detect the device and cgminer (4.9.2) detects it as HFB / HFA hash fast device.. but again it doesn't seem to do anything after this, no errors nothing.

 

How do you SSH into a S5?

I know how to SSH into other linux boxes, but am having no luck with the S5.  I get a "Login as:" prompt and try "root" and my password for "root" but it does not like.  Is there something I overlooked in the web interface that turned this off?

I know just about enough about linux to be dangerous.  I would like to poke around and learn more about what goes on my my S5.

Thanks,

Tom

I'd like to know if there's any interest for 200mm cables for C1- and S3-blades? I'll order a few sets of both kind of cables for my experiments.I can easily have more of them made,if there is any interest.It's easier for me have them ready make than crimp myself a zillion crimps.

JST PHDR-20VS MGR-20VS Housing , PHD Series Grid pitch: 2.0 mm Number of pins: 2 x 10 Nominal current: 3 A

JST BPHD-002T-P0.5 BPHD-002T-P0.5

And a crimping tool if you decide to make them yourself.It's pretty expensive though,I paid something like 40-50€.But I need it for other things too.They are pretty handy when you make your own cables for psu. I bought today some cheap (15€) crimping pliers from local shop but I haven't tested them yet. They are meant just for those very tiny crimps.
I think you find them googling.I bought all connector housings (and crimps) my supplier had,so they are out of stock (Conrad electronics,Germany).Digi-key should have them.And ready crimped wires too,but it's pretty expensive way to make those cables.Check your messages,I might have a solution for your problem.

Trying to mine on a pool, with following code. Running a r9 270 on windows 10, latest 15.7.1 (I believe) drivers for AMD.

bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://gen.binpool.com:14010 -u precrime3.1 -p x

It runs at 32kh/s only, stating all pools are dead and says "(Coinbase check: multiple inputs in coinbase: some digits and 0"

I agree there are not enough options for people when it comes to their power company.
There has just been a rate increase approved here for one power service, but not the other, which was already less expensive, but you must live in a specific geographical area in order for the less expensive company to be able to provide service. There is literally one neighborhood with one company, and the next subdivision over and on is the other company. Like an imaginary line is drawn.  

However, like the cable and cell phone companies it is not due to a law these two power companies do this, it is their agreement.
Similar to how AT&T and Time Warner or other companies in the same line make deals not to step on each other so they can both charge more.
 This is an obvious weak spot in a capitalistic system. I think many / most want less government interaction, but how else do you stop companies from doing this if you require their service for your own business?
A good argument is to say well someone else could start a new power company. I think we would find just enough regulation and stonewalling from the existing power companies to make sure that is a no win situation. Unless, the right person did it on principal and was extremely wealthy. You aren't going to find a VC to finance a project like such because they are interested in profits. It would be nearly impossible and certainly not profitable for a generation or so.

In the case of power it is not considered a luxury by me, but it is by the government except in specific cases where there is a potential for a loss of life directly relating to the issue of not having power, e.g. a hospital. Which in those cases if you cannot pay your power bill there are government programs to help do so. I know someone who had their power bill paid for at least 6 months. I do not know if that was federal or state. The government also considers the toothbrush a luxury, but I sure as hell do not.

I would consider beer a luxury, and I think most of us could agree what a luxury is.
I do not see how power or a cell phone or beer determines what can or cannot be a monopolized industry. We have laws against it. I remember hearing stories about Ma Bell being broken up by the government because it was such a monopoly. I sincerely believe it happened because the right people made money from it breaking up a specific way. Obviously AT&T are doing great and still tearing new assholes in tons of folks every month right along with the co-conspirators called cable companies and other cell companies.

 The thing is, we all complain about our government in one way or another, and we keep electing the same type of people who follow the same status quo. Bush, Obama, it hasn't been such a huge difference in the biggest picture. Our economy is in the crapper because of the system which has been twisted. If we stayed true to our constitution we would be in a much better position. I do believe we have to modernize some things as we go, but we have allowed the supreme court to make decisions which should have never been up for a vote. We are caught up in things which are serious, but not the real issue. The real issue is our system has been perverted and until someone who isn't selfish, understands economics, and is willing to take the heat for a generation of setback to put us back on track as a civilization we are in a death spiral for which there is no stopping. China will have the Yuan added to the basket of approved worldwide fiat next month. The oil dollar is coming to an end. When it is time to make decisions we are distracted by the news telling us about someone smoking a joint in college, or yesterday for that matter. Why do so many people care about that crap, but they don't care about China having a world currency? I can answer that, it is because almost 50% of our country are receiving some form of government provided aid. They don't think they need to care about a real issue. They do not realize the government is not going to be there when things do go south and that check isn't going to turn into currency one day.
I know some folks need help. I know many more who do not but ask and receive anyway.

Why did I ramble on that path from talking about government and our power companies?
It is our fault because we keep putting up with it and once people realize we keep electing the same people and the line isn't between dem versus repub it is dem and repub versus the common man. Then and only then will most people's heads slowly begin to emerge from their anus and with a giant popping sound we may once more be the country we like to envision ourself to be.

Seriously, consider what it would take to turn things in the right direction. We would need to give up some real "luxuries" for a while if we wanted the next few generations to have them. Maybe the baby boomers gave up many lives in world wars, I know my father's generation gave up enough of their life, and lost many lives in Vietnam. Is our sacrifice one of doing whatever it takes or giving up whatever it takes to get our supposed leaders to realize we are tired of hearing the sos?

I'd definitely be on board with giving up things if it meant it made an even bigger difference to future generations but like most I fear, it seems like we are not going to be able to fight the system, so let's have drink, light a smoke, and live for today, right?
MY USB hub showed up. Must get to setting up equipment for a Gekko partyyy!
I'm not changing the world tonight, but I am going to have some fun with my stick miners and a luxurious bottle of something or other  

I do not have the money to start a new power company, or change our economic system, but I will damm sure keep voting and carrying on like someone who does

Come now, nobody needs beer. Complaining about a shortage of luxury items as a comparison to a shortage of utilities seems kinda foolish.

For the record, my town is home to the biggest St Pats festival in the state and I don't drink but am frequently cynical.

Also our utility provider is something of a member-owned rural cooperative, so presumably not evil. It also appears to be not evil by merit of my non-industrial rates being pretty low compared to a lot of other folks, that low rate being flat regardless of time of day or year, my bills being thorough and accurate, and stuff like if we wanted to upgrade service at the shop they'd pay for the transformers and installation and my rates would go down if we used more power and at the end of the year they credit surplus funds back to customers. It's kinda nice. I don't know why so many people look down on Missouri. Which is also home to Anheuser-Busch, whoopty-doo.

Speaking of monopolies dominating markets, anyone know if anyone's going to bring Bitmain some competition anytime soon?

well none of these comments make sense either, sadly. So what is more important to you. Your own money that puts food on the table or someone elses money that puts food on their table? No matter how nice of a person you are the answer would always have to be your money is most important. That being a true statement..

You are not willing to risk others money (less risky / less important) into a mining company (yes building the chip etc.) but you are willing to risk your own money (more risky / more important).

smh this b.s. that perpetuates in shitcoin-land when will it end
