The strange thing is Vircurex does not show any TrxID:
It is completely blank.
If your coins were moved out of your account and the exchange can show no record to track the transaction, including to where it was sent, it is a serious issue on the exchange side.  Sounds like there is a serious issue. The in's and out's don't even make any sense. It's going all over the place except where where it is supposed to go. The sad thing is my transaction was almost a third of the active trading volume in the Vircurex Exchange orderbook if I am not mistaken. For them to actually lose it all would be a serious blow to their handling of the most basic facet and purpose of an exchange. |

Ive been helping him out remotely guys, He indeed does not have a router which is goin to buy today.
Once can get rid of his silly pppoe connection in windows, which is interfering with freakin ethernet interface, that will weed out 1 of the problems.
Whats the official method to reset to avy to factory defaults? Ive looked up how to do it on that tplink router inside it, its stated to just hold the reset button 10-20 seconds then let go and light should flash for a bit indicating its on factory defaults.
I guess we will find out once we get the LAN setup behind his router when he puts it in =P
It is pretty odd for someone to link their Avalon directly to a DSL/Cable modem. (Unless he has one of those DSL/Cable modems with a router and switch inside. Either way, keep up the good work GenTarkin. |

Hi, can anyone help me with the above?
From what I have read the PPC network seems to be on the fritz and my coins have gone awol during the outage.

Hi,
I have a problem. I sent a thousand+ PPC coins from my Vircurex account to my BTC-e account and they didn't show up at the BTC-e PPC wallet.
Anyone have any idea what might be the problem? I double checked everything carefully before moving around the coins...so I know I didn't do anything abnormal in the process.
Not sure if this has any relevance http://www.ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=398.0Hi, Thanks for the info, it looks like there is a PPC problem. The origin wallet is: http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:2750/address/P8kFo4bKemv5zKFiQCVmaYX6UyHu8kXQeeBut all the transactions say "Not Redeemed". I don't see where any of them even point to the destination address: PQBegUV9duYpEjqpHsZjD4Q4b9W4UaT92D |

also just confirmed i cannot connect to the ip i set it to. this is what i filled each line with
static address
67.204.32.5
255.255.255.255
67.204.32.5
There is something wrong with this. 67.204.32.5 <-- This is where your Avalon's IP should be. It should not be a public IP. Use a 192 address that matches the desktop/laptop computers in your home. Just make sure the one you set for the Avalon does not match any other desktop or Laptop. An Example: If you laptop is 192.168.0.2 If your desktop is 192.168.0.3 If your router/gateway is 192.168.0.1 Then your Avalon should be: 192.168.0.100 ==================== 255.255.255.255 <-- This also seems wrong. Most people tend to fill it in with 255.255.255.0 This is called a "subnet mask". (think of it like "network segments" where all your computer in a basic router configuration should all be in the same "network segment".) Again check your desktops/laptops and router to find what kind of "subnet/network segment" it uses. Your laptop might be 255.255.255.0 Your desktop might be 255.255.255.0 Your router might be 255.255.255.0 Then your Avalon should be: 255.255.255.0 ===================== 67.204.32.5 <--- This is clearly wrong. Your gateway should be your router IP. (Assuming you have one) If you laptop is 192.168.0.2 If your desktop is 192.168.0.3 If your router/gateway is 192.168.0.1 Then your gateway IP should be: 192.168.0.1 Your DNS number is usually the same: 192.168.0.1 |
|
|
|
do i need to set anything in the DNS section?
Usually, if you have a home router and aren't directly connected to a DSL/Cable modem, your DNS is usually the same number as your gateway. (Your gateway [router] usually resolves the DNS stuff for you) |
|
|
|
also does the avalon thing automatically install stratum?
Stratum is a protocol type used by certain pools. As for the bad gateway, A) Make sure to place your router (or if directly connected) your DSL/Cable modem as the gateway. That should resolve your issue. You can find the gateway info by turning on one of your desktop/laptop pcs and simply looking at your network configuration. B) You have to make sure your chosen pool is active and typed in correctly. Otherwise you will get that sort of error if the pool server cannot be found when queried. C) You have to carefully check your Pool settings (in the Avalon device settings) and make sure they are validly entered and accurate. Otherwise the server won't send you any work and you'll see the type of socket error. These three things should clear up your problem. |

I can only assure you it is septic safe (but possibly flammable if exposed to sewage). Though I make no guarantees or warranties, expressed or implied. Not only that, but I do not represent BFL, it's employees or its affiliates. Any personas similar to or known to be associated with any account is simply a coincidence borne of a quantum number generator.  |

so tell us the story of how you came about buying it. from whom? was it off ebay? how much did you pay?
Well ... I bought a USB asic, then a Blade, and then decided in for a penny, in for a pound! Or dollar. The miner was on sale on eBay initially for $106,000. I spoke to the seller and actually it was being hosted in KC - a datacenter that does a lot of business with BFL. I basically met one of the sellers pool members who was over from Europe and we went to look at it, hence the photos. We negotiated down - WAY down and came to an agreement. I paid well over 50k for it, and no I'm not sure if it was a good investment or not! Depends on what it's worth if I decide to sell it a couple months down the road, as they say everything has a price! I figured if I was going to get into the mining thing then go for the fastest thing on the market, and so I did! I know of only one other ever resold, but I"m sure that'll change as time goes on. I hope all the prophets that state BTC will appreciate are correct. I'm not counting on it, silly to really, but one can hope! So uh, you spent 50k on a 500Ghs miner... With a load of 500+ Jupiter miners (clocked at 350Gh/s for 7,000 USD each) coming in two months.... Wow...can I hit you up for a loan? |

how would you plug in a complete minirig (3 of these 2 plug units) in a normal house? How long are the two cords coming out of the units?
If each of the plugs need to be in a separate 15AMP plug, I don't think the two cords will stretch far enough. You need to re-wire a bit then correct?
If you are only using existing 15A wiring then you will have to find 6 separate circuits to run 3 minirigs. The cords are most likely 6ft each considering they are from a standard PSU. If you are going to run these at your home you will most definitely need to run some new power lines. 30A or better. EDIT: Better yet just do a 240V line (less current overall). Yes, you see my point. In a typical house, you do not usually have two separate circuits within 6 feet of each other and the rooms you do, your wife will kill you when you put it there. I am thinking of the scenario where you want to mine in a big way. 18 avalons are deafening, 3 of these are better but still complex. Either way you are cutting some drywall and buying some flowers or a much more comfortable couch to sleep on. Odd, do you have DB ratings on a Minirig to make sure of your claim? I just finished the 1st half of upgrading my Avalon and it runs quietly at 325Mhz at 45C. It can probably go higher on air cooling but I haven't had much time to mess around with the settings. If the same fans used from the 1st generation of the Minirig are also used for the ASIC version, then....I don't think you can even come close to calling your story a legitimate claim. |

Alright, you guys seem to have a point. I do seem to be confusing trend trading with day trading. I have set the bot to 1 hour intervals (previously 15min) and will leave it alone for a couple of days to see what it does.
|
|
|

I have been learning how the bot works by watching it make decisions. I think there is room for improvement with just a few extra features.
Is there any chance that the tables that show up showing the Time, Price, Diff could be outputted in some other form? CSV or just as a regular HTML web page that gets re-generated with ongoing measurements of diff?
The reason I ask is because the bot gives valuable information that can make it extremely trivial to make a profit at any setting. The issue is the chrome plugin seems to generate a valid web page with "all the details" but the page itself is not directly accessible.
I am a fan of automation and would very much love to get my hands on the data spit out by the B-Bot in "popup.html". I have been trading manually alongside the B-Bot in a different account and that has netted me about 10 to 15 BTC in the last two days. But the B-Bot has actually lost .3 BTC in a test account (originally with 4.5 BTC) in the same time frame.
-------------------------
The reason I ask is because I noticed that the B-Bot pays close attention to the differences between the two EMA lines to determine the crossover. Both going up and down. The shape of the curve and the steepness can be determined from simply looking at the difference values. What I haven't seen yet is any form of the bot tracking what the original entry point was. (Maybe it does, but it doesn't give any indication of what that value might be)
I assumed the "Stop Trading Loss" feature was implemented as a way to trigger some kind of percentage where the bot would execute a trade. The only problem is it does not appear to work. (I am unsure)
I place very low settings on the bot to see if it would trigger trades even with a drop of 1%+ (my stop loss setting) and it seems to follow the curve even when it drops more than 1% (in my favor).
So there seems to be a very critical feature missing from B-Bot v2 beta. It follows EMA fine but it loses plenty of trading opportunities. (as evidence on my other account where I gained nearly 15 BTC by follow the EMA lines manually)
--------------------
If I could pull out that table data as a popup.html that keeps tabs on the diff data it would be a godsend. Is there any way to pull it open in any (full featured) browser?
Hi PuertoLibre  , Let me take your questions one at a time: 1. Whatever results you have seen since you got your bot a few days ago, be they profit or loss with B-Bot are likely the product of market randomness. This is the discussion we were having with Kuroth; profitability on an EMA bot, generally any kind of bot, can only be judged in longer time frames as to account for said randomness (think: "The Law of Large Numbers") and let trends emerge and the math do it's job. I am happy you have seen profit by trading crossover, but again, unless you have been doing this consistently for some time, profits there are also likely the product of market randomness, the true measure of an algorithm is it's profitability over the long term. I am not saying your strategy is bad, trading crossovers only is an established strategy, but rather that your results are not reflective of the strategy itself. This is part of the reason why professional back testing models generally go back several weeks if not months or years. I am giving your bot plenty of time to see how it does things. I have been reading through Gomboo's discussion and there are very good insights in there. (So far I am only on page 6) Today the bot lost another .2 BTC in an originally 4.5 BTC account. The current remaining values stand at 4.070 BTC remaining. In a larger account I do manual trading with I gained 1.7 BTC by doing manual trading today. This was only because I was busy with hardware upgrades and was only able to do 1 trade today. ------------------------- Side note: I have completed automating part of (65%) of my strategy as I carefully have analyzed what I actually do and have tried to make all the information come together so all the valuable information is presented to me in one place. The last component on my program is using information made available by B-Bot to assist me in making final decisions. (None of my automation routines can actually see the EMA curves directly, so that is why I am looking at B-Bot to fill in the missing piece of information.) The goal is to give my eyes a bit of rest since a machine can at first collect information in one place and make intelligent decisions without paying attention to dozens of windows. Ultimately to allow a computer to follow the same rules I use my brain for to do the trading for me. ---------------------- What I find disconcerting is that B-Bot has so far missed so many opportunities (both at 15min scales as well as 1 min scales) that it worries me. Our bot is based on Gomboo's discussion of EMA as applied to Bitcoin and all these issues are discussed there, recommended read : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=60501.02. The bot calculates 144 data points to determine EMA values. This is 144 points in whatever time frame you select, if your time frame is 1 hour it will go back 144 hours and the first hour will be your entry point. This part also worries me. Someone asked me an apt question when I read back this portion of your reply. I was asked, how does the bot know that 144 points in the past was a relevant (or even a good) starting point for the future [decisions]? I couldn't help but shrug as they asked me that because it is a very good question. If the Bot doesn't use the highest recent point as the entry point (but ? apparently) just the 144th entry point from "now", it can apparently make....pretty bad decisions. The point that came to mind is asking if there is any way to add a feature where: --A) We can see what that entry point actually is at any given time. and --B) Change the length of that entry point to what we want. (72 previous points instead?) 3. Trailing Stop Loss takes the highest value Bitcoin has achieved since you turned on the bot and will SELL all your BTC if the value goes down from the maximum by the percentage you have specified. So it really was following it's programming when the value changed in your favor, by design, it will only intervene when there is a loss. This is one of those features that is very sensitive to set and that you have to keep an eye on though. First question, does this field accept a negative value? Second question, Does this rely on the mystery 144th point in the past? (or when I actually turned on the bot?) Perhaps a bot with internally tweakable settings might allow even more customization. |

I am waiting for them to do mass shipping.
Nothing like disappointed customers to make your day.

Surprised we haven't seen anyone advertising BFL clones yet. I imagine anyone doing one is going to wait until they are ready to ship to announce. The fact that they are shipping out sample chips to bulk chip purchasers in a timely fashion suggests that delays are due to issues with other parts and/or assembly and not due to delays in chip acquisition. Not that it's fair but I think BFL chip purchasers will have working clones before many of those who bought miners...
There are project threads on this forum for building miners based on BFL chips. BFL provided a full working open source design, including firmware! Uh, no! They opened their sales channel for bulk chips at first. From what I recall reading they had originally no intention of releasing their firmware. Probably because they were charging for "upgrades" to give higher performing firmware it seems. Their sales on this forum was flat to non-existent from what I can remember. When everyone called them out on not providing enough info on their reference design, they eventually provided the firmware. I distantly recall that the open source folks were seemingly expected to provide and program their own firmware. Then everyone started buying after A) They lowered their price by 25% and then (through their pre-order customers) flooded the market with yet another 25% discount on top of that. They then made a change to their original sales pitch: In exchange for the 50% discount (with coupons) they wouldn't be sorting the chips by grades A through D (mixed lots)...you get what you get. Then they upped the specs on what the chips were guaranteed to do. (I don't recall the specs on power consumption and GH/s) ---------------------- Now ask yourself, why is actual history completely different than what "erk" presents? Possibly because he works for BFL? |

You are assuming Avalon had a crystal ball and knew their miner would come out first. At the time they announced they were trying to balance (compete) with BFL. I guess according to you Avalon and BFL and ASIcminer should have all agreed to only increases hashrate 10fold so that someone else could come along (Bitfury, KNC, etc.) and produce a higher hashrate? What you call greed I call risk/reward. If everyone is guaranteed a ROI there is no risk.
At no point did Avalon's product look competitive with BFL, remember the original BFL pricing was way less than it became in April after the price hike, eg. 1,500GH/s MiniRig was only $30k. Therefore the crystal ball aspect was largely irrelevant. As Avalon only took orders for a finite batch size, they simply had to wait until the batch was sold, and start the ball rolling. When something is scarce it sells fast, the units could have been a lot less powerful and they would have all sold. The USB Block Erupter, ASICminer is a classic example of not having to sell high MH/s items, the have sold thousands of the things. People are still queuing up to buy them, and they are incredibly expensive compared to just about every ASIC offering out there. What total BullShit. Avalon was competitive. Out of bASIC and BFL, Avalon had the highest hashrate and actually delivered. BFL did, after close to a year, bASIC never did. ------------------- In the end, BFL's lower product line consumed more than 5 to 10 times the amount of electricity that it was originally estimated. This was originally one of the selling points. --Advantage gone, Poof. |
