2661  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [Minera v0.3.8] Your next mining dashboard is here. CPUminer/CGminer/BFGminer. on: November 10, 2014, 07:03:51 AM
I'm waiting  for the  next update so i can put this https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=20477.0  in Minera and use the full power if all my Zeus's  i tested it in windows 8.1 , would rather use a PI as my controller.
        
It's works well on a windows box I would rather use a PI.


The CGminer fork in the Minera works but nothing like the BFGminer fork did in windows, for me.

 I would rather use it in minera so far I have not found a UI I like better then minera.


cya

Minera comes with BFGMiner which supports mining with ZeusMiner ASICs. The fork you are referring to was created before there was official support for ZeusMiner ASICs in BFGMiner and, as far as I know, hasn't been updated in many months.
Yea but how do I get them to work in MInera I lose way to Much Hash using the official release .I looked for hour the other day after i bought two Zeus's then found them and it worked.  Smiley .


right now I  am using the CGminer fork in minera but it drops some hash but nothing like the BFG official does . so I can wait then  lose  4 hash  per Zeus or more.

If you have a system where the official BFGMiner performs poorly compared to one of these other forks and can setup remote access please send me an email at nwoolls @ gmail. I've tested on ASICs up to 256 chips and not seen any performance issues and would love to address anything outstanding (if you have the time).

Right now I'm fine i wish you all could get BFG to work inside antminer S i asked Luke he  he told me hes trying all i can ask I'm about to set up a PI using a command lines with BFG . but I can set it for remote but I'm not to techly inclined like most here but do what i need to and don't give up till i find what I'm looking for I can be very annoying and persistent till i either know it or  get what i went after . In most cases I  won't ask and look for answers. once i can use BFG with an other OS other then  windows i may . I mean use it with zus miners were it does what it does windows i would rather use BFG any day over CGMIner it seems more stable etc to me but that's me . that said is all i should say .

I m very ware of win it was done but its the only thing that i have  found that works as stated . i waiting for the L1's  may buy  one more zeus sense they  seem to be the  best all around over the  A2 etc all but the  titan , the  titan is sweet but i can't afford the 340 MH miner or id have one .

 btw the way it looks and i hope im right and hope the big guys don't mess this up, alt coin miner might be the new home mining. if you don't mind trading them up etc .


Just sharing what works for me Smiley .

ok well locked everything down, the modem and router, that stopped everything...

i like minera's web interface, ease of use... just freaky when someone gets in and starts sub-contracting your machine for their work. i was having a good run on a ftc coin site, which is probably how they figured where to go to get in the machine (since i've been on that p2pool for a few). now that, that sites down i'll be back on wdc (thanks to neoscrypt).

still its a good easy to use image, really prefer bfgminer to handle all my miners. running cgminer drops my hashrate 300/mhs (kinda weird)

but like i said locking down everything so far has worked. i'll let it run for a few more days and see what happens.

oh yea, i run volt modified miners for scrypt it would be nice if minera didn't start hashing away on sha256 till after things have been set up...

(god knows i love hot coffee but at least give me time to put the cup on my miners)



I am losing  like 4 MH in minera using the CGMINer fork and if i use the BFGminer official its even worse .I have to use to use this BFG fork 4.3.1  or https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=20477.0  Smiley . tested it for a few hours on a windows box , it does what the test say in that link.

You running about 3.4THs? What is your power limit? And out of curiosity why set one for yourself in the first place?



no real power limit other then cash per day never looked at it in terms of kw more in money. i guess i should say what i mean : i don't use over a dollar mount  by the power company smart meter graphics etc once i reach a  dollar amount for that day or month i stop using my farm and by hash so far it seems to work out for me.   as for a power limit in the house no idea i haven't tired to push it yet. i have gone  as high as 1860 watts over 30 days had no problem  then the bill started going up  but there was also a bad  wire out my side my house it took them 3 hours to find and replace so  no idea and buy power limit if  you mean how much I can use safely i honestly don't know but with my power company i can use as much i can pay for which i don't want to do. Sorry I'm learning some terms and just what they mean here to others .

I just lost some hash i bought yea i was about at 3 th or so with out my farm and just lost 1 th so temped to turn my farm back on and make up the diff. Smiley ...


hope that's the right answer . to me  power limit means how much you can use in your house before you have to install more boxes to handle more etc etc. , which I have not tried to fine out yet. but it seems here on the forums  it mean some thing diff Smiley . i hate asking question of that nature i usually fine out over time .i should have worded it diff my bad. i hate spending money for power imo it should be cheaper but that's off topic so i won't go there .Smiley .

Not quite sure what is meant about "Power Limit."  So, I'm going to take a poke at it to see if I can help.

My house has 200 AMPS.  How do I know this?  The meter on the outside of my house is a 200 AMP meter and the Main Breaker panel in the house has a 200 AMP main breaker with cut on/off switch.  Each AMP [AC] can push 120 watts of power.  So, a 200 AMP Main Breaker Panel can push 120 x 200 = 24,000 watts.  By the way, the unit of measurement for Power is watts.

24,000 watts is my "Power Limit" for my house.  However, I have other appliances in the house that REQUIRE power to maintain a comfortable living.  I looked up my HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) unit to find that it requires 30 AMPS to start and then settles down to 20 AMPS after approximately 5 to 10 seconds.  I also have lights in the house [all with LED bulbs], clothes drier, washing machine, refrigerator, microwave,  modem, router, switch, stereo receiver and 2 televisions.  All of these other appliances require approximately 60 AMPS of constant power if they were all on at the same time.  

80 AMPS is what is required to run my house for the most part.  Some of you might say it is 90 AMPS because of the 30 amps instead of 20 amps needed to start up my AC unit.  However, I have a heavy duty capacitor installed [approximately 10 feet between the unit and the main panel] to store electricity to reduce the surge on my other appliances.  That leaves 120 AMPS left over for mining.  120 AMPS x 120 WATTS per AMP = 14,400 WATTS of power allowed for mining.

If I had 16 S3's [which I do] at 355 watts each, I'm already using 5,680 watts of my allowed 14,400 watts.  This leaves 8,720 watts for S4's.  That means I can get six (6) S4's and be fine with my "power limit."

So, when someone asked you, "What is your power limit?" I think that is what they were referring to.  I could be wrong about this but thought I would give it a shot.

Someone also said, "Why limit yourself?"  The reasoning behind that question is because you can always convert your Bitcoin to USD to pay for your power used and still have USD left over [at least at present price of BTC and difficulty].  You may only want to convert what bitcoin is needed just to pay off your power bill and leave the rest of your bitcoin alone to wait to purchase more rigs when bitcoin is worth more USD.  I believe bitcoin will be worth much more before too much longer.

Not sure if you live in an apartment, single family home, etc...?  You need to go to your power meter that the power company reads to determine how many amps it is.  It may not actually say how many amps.  You may have to write down the model number of the meter and look it up on the web.  Then you need to find your main breaker panel and find out how many amp main breaker panel switch you have.  I can answer any other questions you may have after you have found out the answers to those two things.

I hope this may have clarified some things for you.

EDIT:

...i honestly don't know but with my power company i can use as much i can pay for which i don't want to do.

I suppose we could use "how much we can pay for" but it actually has limits.  If you have a 200 AMP meter on the side of your house [Like I do], you are presently limited to 200 AMPS or 24,000 WATTS of power minus wattage needed to run HVAC, washer, drier, etc.  You might can get another meter installed on the side of your house to gain more watts.  However, this will come at a cost you may not be willing to pay.  This may include the power company burying [As in my case] another cable from the transformer to the side of my house and install another 200 AMP meter.  I'm not sure if they will charge me for the cable and to bury that cable or not.  More than likely they will charge me.

As far as your statement, "...for which I don't want to do;" my question would also be, Why Not?  You can always convert the BTC that is needed to pay your power costs into USD on Coinbase.  That is why someone asked earlier, "Why not?"


I understood what he asked just wasn't to sure how to answer with good reason. i did word what i meant wrong after you explain it and ty for that Smiley . I know most of what you explained  but one or two things how to judge how much your house can handle and how to figure it  thanks again for that i will  use that . I guess I mean i hate paying the power company and  would rather pay some one else who will put it to better use imo. but i do limit what i spend each month on stuff sense i don't work being retried and buying hash now from coins then in two day i turn my farm back on . maybe that explains what i meant . but I am gonna use your tips and find out just how much i can handle. I have a house with air etc ... all the  stuff your does. Smiley ..

and your right why not if i think about it why not, just pay the bill , i can add more of my own hash that way and am planning to any way just waiting more to see what they come up with.

hardware with more hash, less power use there coming we see that . Smiley


Nice explain btw .Smiley

Leica 10803 S (Tye 006) 37.5MP SLR Camera with 3-Inch TFT LCD Screen - Body Only (Black)
4 out of 5 Stars
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009DP5T22/ref=pd_aw_sbs_6?pi=SL500_SS115&simLd=1

I purchased this camera in lieu of paying rent on my apartment for 4 years, and believe me when I say it was worth it. I used the box that it came in as a hat and some other boxes for a home. It's uncomfortable but the pictures I've taken of my new home are so sharp that you can see the fleas on the brick I use for a pillow. I can also take high detail pictures of my children (who I am no longer able to see due to court order resulting from gross negligence) from an acceptable distance. Highly recommended!

Maybe we can go a full UTC day without finding a block or 0 blocks for 30 Oct in the stats page. I've seen several 24+ hour blocks but have never seen a full day just being skipped in the stats log. Maybe it would be a good omen.


SO that's why i had all most 4th run in here till the confirms I  was about to park 6.9 TH here for a few days that's how much i love this pool then the confirms  stopped I may move  the 2.2 th I left here and come back in a bit ,I'm wasting time and money i rented that much so i would stat getting more faster.

I not complaining  or accusing just asking i couldn't figure out what was going on .I don't do that .. ty  btw if any one  gives a answer why ?.


moving my miner for now and yes i hate to but i'm wasting time getting nothing if that's why and hope you understand .

syscooling, can you offer regular air mail shipping option?


+ payment in BTC is a must

I don't blame syscooling for my crappy shipping, I blame DHL and wish they used UPS or some other service.

My driver on DHL literally called and asked if I wanted to meet him in a town a hour away.    When he was told no... he would actually need to deliver the package magically I was told he didnt have the package and it would be a day.  Online it showed he had the package. Well I waited another day got it.  Never had a delivery guy want me to drive a hour before in my life.


That's DHL before they were DHL they were all I used when I had my PC business i forget the name of the other company before they sold it but it was a lot better then.


I remember now Airborne Express. well any way im looking forward to my first  C1 soon im waiting to see how it works out and see how i can improve the cooling .

when  bitcoins slow down this is one my main alt coins i mine .  Smiley ... and a few others i don't  see them as junk coins i see it different. I see them as nice back up  when some of the bitcoins pools i use slow down. To help fill in the time i might lose other wise . money and time is just that money and time why should it matter what honest way you use it .
