I have multiple rigs with 4 x 6870 and know I don't need powered extenders. Having said that you're a fool if you're trying to run 5970, 6990 or 7970s in a 4+ configuration off a board without additional power. You might be able to get away with it in a cold climate but in anyplace warm you'll be drawing more power off each card.
There are numerous posts from 2011/2012 showing dead or damaged boards/connectors.

I'm going ot be honest I think I got paid too much on the block that you guys are all talking about unless I did indeed earn what I did because a bunch of other shares didn't make it in mine seems to be a bit high. help us Obiwan (slush).

Yes the calculations are off. I submitted about 20x more shares and got 1/10883th of what you got. 17925 2013-05-08 14:13:44 1:27:14 11634278 22342 0.00000566 235160 25.21733124 74 confirmations left |

allergic to pork? Christ, can use use your huskey at all?
He's still 7 months old so he's at that age where he acts like me on the forums. It'll be a while before he'll be "useful" I suppose. Right now I'm happy to keep him from eating garbage, spreading feces everywhere and basically waking up the neighborhood. So just like my 2 year old son  |

Having placed a Day 1 order with BFL and still waiting on it I see some of you guys have not developed the "eh whatever" I have now. Order placed for Batch 3 - check Bitpay payment made - check Avalon doing something on their end - check Shiny silver box with fancy gloves arriving at my door - Pending. It's a race now. Between my ASICMiner shares, my BFL Single and my Batch 3 Avalons. In the meantime I'll just have to settle for watching my kids grow up and kissing my wife.... pity |

Raidmax PSUs are almost always crappy. Only use them on hardware you're willing to sacrifice.
In this case you can try to pull the crimp out of the plastic 4 pin and recrimp it. Otherwise just use the PSU on a system with a weak CPU like a Celeron/Sempron. The 12v can be pushed through PCIe cables but I wouldn't put more than 2 7950s on the Raidmax.

I came back to Slush after a 1.5 year hiatus. Is merged mining enabled on Stratum? I assumed it wasn't since I wasn't getting any NMC but on block 234890 I received a little NMC. Any ideas as to why? Is one of the Stratum servers doing NMC mining as well?

96F high today here in SoCal. Going to be hotter tomorrow. ASICs plus inferno heatwave = Goodbye GPU miners  |

so can anybody help or just make laugh?  it's not worth to mine on gpu anymore mate, let alone on cpu, you wouldn't mine a coin in your lifetime. In the US life expetancy of 78.37 years and current difficulty @ 10 mhash you can make 18.8 bitcoin  I'll make a 10BTC bet with you that you cannot mine 1 BTC in any given length of time on any individual CPU. We can use John K. as escrow. There is the off chance that maybe you might be super lucky and find a block, but you probably would have better luck finding a $5 or $20 bill outside a supermarket. The difficulty will easily be over 20x what it is now after 4 months. You can get more from BTC faucets than you can CPU mining. |

I don't imagine they would be mining. They have said they are not and Yifu has made a point to say that none of his staff even have their own miners. In my opinion Avalon has not been shown to be unethical or liars, quite the opposite. Yes, dates have slipped and it sucks big time but I would't jump to the conclusion that it is because they are mining or intentionally screwing us or anything.
My guess is it's delays getting the SMT line in order but they are reluctant to tell us until there is some good news to report too. Unfortunately, I think that "good news" will be that batch 3 will be closer on our tails but it is what it is.

Well looking at your posts 1/3 of them are filled with some vulgarity or profanity, so asking others to respond to you in kind ....

I have 206.5BTC on the line. Am I concerned - yes. Am I going to constantly worry about it - no. Worrying gets me nowhere and just messes up one's health.
Yifu will post an update when they are ready. Until then I'm letting the last of my GPUs squeak out a few BTC.

For every dollar lost there is a dollar gained, less exchange fees. If it was easy to trade everybody would do it. Obviously some people sold at $40 seeing BTC double instead of holding. Unless they got back in under $40 you think they did well?

You ought to have an electrician look at what you are doing.
If you are putting an unbalanced load on a 3 phase system you could easily burn out the transformer.
It's a commercial building with an elevator and was going to have a dialysis center remodel (that got stuck 1/2 way). Even with 20-30GH in GPU mining rigs my pull is not what brought down the transformer. It's 35-40 years old, they might be changing it out today, but will have to dig up 500 feet of pavement to get to the main line (44k I think coming from the street lines). Either way the city's crew is on it (about 15 guys and 6 trucks). I think my sub-panel is fine, just need to wait for them to restore power and see if everything starts up. They shut the whole building down and my wife is doing braces by the window ) So my rigs are all offline  More than 5% imbalance on a phase can damage a transformer. So you're little 30GH of GPUs could easily be the root cause of the failure. I'd make sure you don't power that gear on until long after the crews have left. If they are on the ball and measure the neutral line current you are dumping, you could be the happy owner of a 100k bill for transformer replacement. I'm pretty sure the Botox/Laser clinic on the other side of the building uses more power. They have a glass waterfall/fountain/pump that uses 1KW alone. I doubt the 10KW pull my rigs had do anything. The suite next door was set up to be a dialysis unit - those machines run on 240V and suck huge amounts of power, as does the hydroelectric elevator. Anywho, they dug up the parking lot and replaced the cables leading to the transformer - 50 year old cable was going bad. Transformer was fine and wasn't changed, just replaced some risers on the main pole. Only thing is the thermostat reset and now I have no AC - waiting for engineering to come down and turn it on otherwise it gets toasty in the office. I was hoping BFL would have shipped my ASICs in October, November, December, January, February, March, April (see, I left that last little "l" out for the glimmer of hope but I don't have any jalapenos ordered  ). |

You can probably decrease the incremental increase with each difficulty. Consistent 15-20% increase may be hard. But remember the cycles will not be 14 days. Each difficulty will be closer to 10 days.

Looks like the whole building went down. Waiting on Edison to swap lines to the transformer. First time in 2 years that I've been cold in that office |
