Lack of research, and cluelessness, I think.

2 hours of setup on a machine with less CPU power than an iPod, I have a better p2pool node running.  I've not advertised mine yet, as I'm still tweaking, so it may be a bit up and down.  Then again, anyone interested in running a P2Pool node will just set it up for themselves, it's not rocket science.

I'm so excited, I could pee. 

The di-lithium crystals are out of alignment.

My Asus 7850 will only do 305@1050MHz with I=14.  The card won't go any faster without crashing the driver.

My Gigabyte 7950 stock (no overclocking) will do just over 500GH/s each, the pair give an average of 1.046GH/s according to cgminer. Far, far better cards, considering I got them both used off the Bay of E for the same price I paid for the 7850 new.

You should get yourself on the P2Pool node list.

1.5GH/s is a very slow start, though...

Your getwork latency sucks, too - you should be aiming below 0.2s - take a look at the stats on my P2Pool node @ http://847pool.no-ip.biz:9332/static/graphs.html?Day - it's not ideal either, but it's in the right ballpark.  Your suckky latency is why you've got two orphaned blocks, which isn't good.  It'll be horrible once you put any sort of load on there (IE Avalon).

Also check out http://p2pool.mjke.de:9332/static/ - that's the sort of stats you should be aiming for when running a P2Pool for Avalons.

I ordered a 7GH/s Jalapeno last month.  I don't care if it takes a year to arrive.  ROI isn't important to me.  It's not even a consideration, really.

Hopefully those who have got ROI in the forefront of their minds will get refunds, making my order shuffle it's way closer to the front of the queue.

I concur.  Check PSU. 

I tried optimising mine, but ended up making it worse.  Now I just have bitcoind affinity to one CPU with "Above Normal" priority, and run_p2pool.exe to the other core with same priority.  Seems to be working OK considering it's a dual core 1.1GHz.  No other tweaks, I removed the custom block size and min/max transmittal settings.  Now it's up and down between 0.1 and 0.3s.

It's running on Windows 7 x64, 4GB RAM, 250GB Samsung 840 SSD.

I'm setting up another machine, which is an i3-2110 with 4GB RAM and 32GB SSD running Ubuntu 13.04, so I can return the Celeron to it's HTPC duties (it's in a fancy HTPC case).

You don't need a dummy plug.

If cgminer is showing hashing going on, then the problem is elsewhere.  I'd try a different pool as a test - Eligius is good as you don't need to register.

Your little node is pretty impressive - those Avalons are certainly quick.  What are you running your node on?

My node is at http://847pool.no-ip.biz:9332/static/ - much less impressive, though it is only running on a Celeron 847 machine, and I only have a few GPUs and 3 Block Erupters mining. 

Wrong section. 

1 please.

Going by the pictures of these things, I'd be constructing air guides using card.  Build a tunnel from each fan to the heatsink, and cover the open top of the sink to force the air though the heat sink.  It's basically the way 1U and 2U servers are cooled.

I've got two Asus cards.  Both are DirectCU.  One is the two-fan version, the other the single fan.  The two-fan one is rattling like mad after 6 months.  The single-fan one is quieter, runs as cool, and so far the fan isn't dying.   The two-fan card is a 7770, the one-fan card is a 7850.

I've got a pair of Gigabyte 7950 cards with the three fans on them, both cool about the same, but one has a rattly buzz from one of the fins of the heatsink, which sucks.

The sooner I get rid of the GPUs, the better.  Probably next spring - using them to help heat the house this coming winter.  

Where do I preorder?  Take my money, dammit!  Can I get an extra 2TH/s upgrade?  Your customer service sucks!

 

No you don't.


Yes, it is.

Ah, fair enough, I'll leave them where they are and hopefully they'll sort themselves out.  Nothing's important, it's just a small wallet for tinkering with.

Cheers everyone.

Normal 0.8.3 on Windows. 

So, how do I fix this?

Long story short, I've got some stuck transactions.  They've been sat at 0 confirmations for most of the day.   One was incoming from my p2pool machine, which looks like it's happened twice.  The second was an outgoing, which is equally stuck.  Bitcoin looks connected with 9 connections to the bitcoin network.

It looks like one transaction has happened twice, as there's some money in "Unspendable".

Any ideas?

0.55 price is only just in the past few days.  That price hasn't filtered down the chain yet.

As for not making back their price, I have three and they're motoring along on my p2pool node.  One has paid for itself already in a little over 2 weeks.  FAR better payouts than on other pools.
