Wow. Really? You must have missed the other thousand threads and posts that are saying the same thing...

Do you mean 7790 or 7970?
If you do mean 7790, wow did you buy the wrong cards. 7950 is THE scrypt mining card - they do 550KH/s at relatively low power use, and they're cheap. I got mine for about £180 used off Fleabay.

I joined this pool few days ago, and it is having problems since then, and I am even experiencing lower payments than usual (this pool suppose to have 0% fees)... I think I will wait another day then just leave if this doesn't get fixed
No-one is forcing you to stay.... You probably have some shelved shares if you're not getting as much as you expect. |

Sending NMC to a BTC-E wallet works OK.
Really? How does that work? My Bitcoin qt is able to hold NMC? Yes. You put the NMC address from your BTC-E "Finances/Deposit NMC" area in to Eligius. No, you'd need Namecoin-Qt for that (oddly enough!). |

There's WAY more blinky green lights on 110 Erupters than on a Single, though. Blinky green lights are where it's at.

Is the getwork server still going? I would like to set it as backup server for my ASICMiner Blade (I'll be using a stratum proxy for normal mining).

Stats page seems to be broken, looks like the database has gone.

Thanks yxt, much appreciated.

Oh well - lucky I'm a dev and I've made more BTC from the other hardware I got to cover all the time I've spent on AM USB hardware ... and the time I've spent on the other hardware ...
'All that time' and you still use the wrong USB drivers?   |

So, kano, what you're really saying is mining BTC is a waste of time, so all the time you invested in writing cgminer is therefore a total waste of time?

Did YXT give any indication on ETA of the Blades?

1. none really, it's only useful if you want to set up a dedicated connection between nodes on static IPs.
2. No, each node knows what each other node is doing.
3. No, you'll get paid out by another node somewhere - I shut my node down a few days ago, and I got a payment since.

Well it has worked, because I was able to use the sign message function to set my NMC address, and I'm getting NMC payouts.

Any idea if/when you'll be adding the getwork server to the Windows binaries? No, I'm not prepared to compile myself (my head would explode trying). The main problem here lies with libmicrohttpd, which doesn't really support Windows (some specific versions will build with a POSIX simulation layer, which itself only works on 32-bit). So, someone would need to do one of these: - Port libmicrohttpd to Windows proper.
- Fix PlibC to work on not only just 32-bit Windows.
- Port BFGMiner to support another HTTP server library (I'm not aware of any decent alternatives, unfortunately).
wizkid057 thought he might have time to look into these options. Cheers. Ubuntu VM required then. |

I've a Blade incoming and would like to use it with BFG.
Oh, and so far so good with 3.2.0's stability after it's crash the other night. Showing 19 hours uptime. I swear it crapped out when Eligius went down briefly (my backup pool was offline, too).

I've a Blade on it's way to me. I have a PSU (30A 12V bench supply) which is fine. I'm now trying to figure out what cooling I'm going to need.
I'm thinking a 120mm fan will do the job, probably a 1400rpm Gentle Typhoon running at about 900rpm. I'll probably raise it off the heatsink a little with rubber feet and attach with a long zip tie.
Does this sound adequate?

It should work OK. I suspect there's something amiss with the p2pool node, rather than the Blade.

But you are missing the actual point.
If you bought X BTC, to buy an AM device but instead simply kept the BTC, you would be ahead unless the device was able to generate more than X BTC - which for most people, it wont.
So for most people it is indeed a guaranteed loss of BTC - ignoring what other gains or losses you have converting that BTC back to fiat.
Whatever those other issues are, however, the point is you will most likely have ... less BTC ... and even worse, you will get that less BTC back over a long period of time.
Yes, I get your point now. I personally didn't buy BTC - the BTC I used as mined in the past, or bought with fiat obtained when I sold BTC during the bug Cypress/Greece bubble. Yes, buying these things using fiat, expecting to get your money back is probably a poor idea. |

All this ROI talk assumes BTC will stay at $120. As difficulty increases, I'm sure price will increase. Just as it did when CPUs were becoming useless and GPUs were coming on strong.
Look back in the forum, you'll see people saying GPUs will never ROI. Yet, they did. Even when I stated mining back in November 12 I made enough money (mined BTC converted to fiat) to pay for the GPUs, the machines the GPUs were in, and the electricity needed to run them. THEN I sold the GPUs for basically the same as I paid for them. That money I ploughed in to ASICs.
With my electricity effectively free, anything I mine - anything at all I can sell for fiat.
So, I'm really confused by the 'not making ROI' argument, because it's plain wrong.
