but one crossfire slot can support 2 GPUs if you buy a bridge.

No, it can't.

i'm all about making a profit but what ive noticed is outright greed i know it isnt illegal to turn a profit but still feels wrong to make 300% off someone like some of these guys do selling asics on ebay etc even more then that what are you guys take on it

If it pisses you off, you can report each listing to eBay, as they don't allow the sale of bitcoin related products.   Wink

They don't allow the sale of Bitcoins.  Or any other virtual currency (like WoW Gold, EVE ISK, etc).

Not Bitcoin related products.  Are they going to ban ATI graphics cards?  USB hubs?  No, they aren't, and they're Bitcoin related products.

Get your facts straight. Smiley
2543  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [3500GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: August 08, 2013, 02:39:55 PM
Where is the pool node's fee set?  In the command line I assume?

Yes, when you run the start command for it, it's a flag.  -f 0.25 is 0.25% -f 1.0  is 1%

Ah, cool.  Cheers. Smiley

On other news, I'm just about to throw some hardware at my node - the Celeron is a piece of crap.  I just bought the cheapest OEM PC I could find locally (an Asus with a 3GHz Pentium), which will become my node.  Hopefully it'll be a bit more stable...

Must be a really cheap hub if it doesn't have a diode in there somewhere to stop that happening.

Power feedback problem?  Huh
2547  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Known problems with CGMiner and Intel Z77 chipsets? on: August 08, 2013, 09:55:44 AM
You need to completely remove any and all AMD drivers, then reinstall the 12.8 drivers.  If you need to reinstall Windows, then do it.  Or run one of the many driver cleaner programs.

This problem is ALWAYS the wrong driver version - cgminer craps out because the SDK is wrong, so it can't build the kernel.

Ive been robbed (and many other ppl) by "vdragon" during GB so I agree - be cautious buyers. Use escorow, known sellers and try to get proof of identity before make BTC transfer. Thats my 2C

So was I, but I've participated in a GB since with positive results.  The vdragon one, on hindsight, was an obvious scam from day one.  No-one picked it up.  Roll Eyes  Thankfully I only lost about BTC1.7.

2550  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Bitcoin-QT sucks on windows 7 on: August 07, 2013, 08:53:36 PM
I have Bitcoin-qt 8.3 + Windows 7 and no issues.


You, me and hundreds or thousands of other people who all can get it to work with no issues. 
2551  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Trying to setup ASICMiner USB erupter with BFGMiner, please help on: August 07, 2013, 08:17:10 PM
-G also disables GPU on the latest version of BFG.

You'd want -G -S erupter:all for BFGMiner 3.1.4 (which is far better for the Erupters than 3.1.3 and any version of cgminer IMHO).
2552  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Will this take any Processing power? on: August 07, 2013, 08:06:58 PM
BFGMiner is using 2% CPU time at peak on a Celeron 847 (1.1GHz).  That's controlling 4 Block Erupters. 

People run 30+ of the things off a RaspberryPi which has a 700MHz Dorito for a CPU.

Mining uses basically nothing on any modern machine.
2553  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Bitcoin-QT sucks on windows 7 on: August 07, 2013, 08:03:11 PM
 Roll Eyes

No, Bitcoin-qt doesn't work on Windows 7 at all.  That's why I'm running it along with a P2pool node running off the backend of Bitcoin-qt.  On Windows 7.  It works perfectly on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.  It also works perfectly on Windows Vista. 


Before you start talking shite, try fixing your install, your internet, or whatever is wrong with YOUR installation, and not with anyone else's.

I've doubled my hash rate in the last week.  I've also come back to BTC after mining LTC for a while using GPUs.  All due to a few little USB sticks.

If everyone mining is doing the same as me, it's no wonder speed is going up so fast.  Then there's the guys getting "real" ASICs...
2555  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [3500GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: August 07, 2013, 07:38:29 PM
Take this as constructive criticism, BTCMiner, please.

They're not a hit, because you still have terribly high latency, and poor efficiency.  Your nodes all seem to be reporting a different pool speed, too - they're all out by 0.5-1TH/s which I don't quite understand.

I think you need to address the big issues with your nodes before you expect anyone to mine on them. 
2556  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: It's sad. on: August 07, 2013, 07:22:10 PM
Not everyone is fixated on ROI, though...
2557  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use on: August 07, 2013, 06:20:08 PM
dont forget .net and the ATI sdk

at the risk of sounding like an idiot.  ".net"? and where do I find the sdk? I thought the catalyst package installed the SDK along w/ everything else.

.net = MS .NET 4.0 Framework - installs if you run Windows Update.

The SDK is included with the 12.8 drivers.
2558  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [3500GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: August 07, 2013, 04:33:31 PM
I'm doing a very small 2.5GH/s between my few remaining GPUs and the little ASIC USB miners. 

I run my own P2Pool node, and I got a lot more in 24 hours on P2Pool compared to BTCGuild.

I'm still trying to stabilise the machine, then I'm hoping a few folks will mine on my node.  It's only little (Celeron 847 dual 1.1GHz).  Tongue
