The biggest issue I've been encountering so far is that when undervolted it will run and hash for 60 seconds, then at that one minute mark, it will start bitching and stop hashing.
Well this would be because pre v1.91 boards does not have proper volt variation support. RichBC found out thats probably what the oscillator are for. As such you'll only be able to do very slight under/overvolting. |

Would you build your business on top of a technology controlled by external entities that are mostly unknown? controlled by entities mostly unknown? You mean: controlled by math, open source, and well known and extensively studied cryptography. That's the controlling foundation of this tech. It's not being controlled by anyone in particular. Yes, BTC is controlled by developers, miners and exchangers. All of them are owned by a small group of people called , "investors" . Make a little search and you will see who "owns" Bitcoin  what is your definition of decentralization then? we need something that is controlled by the all 7B people to be called decentralized? as long they are not a single entity, there is no real owner Having BTC, receiving a big portion of the traffic, submitting code changes, etc, everything. This does not give administrative power to any of these. It give power over their own portion of BTC, but BTC itself is controlled by the wallet. And it is enforced by the hashrate. So if you want to bash anyone for centralizing Bitcoin, bash the Chinese for centralizing a big portion of the hashrate. ;P Still remain decentralized. |

Hi all, Just want to give you an update. I wrote a small independent app that will log every worker in the list that was provided on Page 7 by philipma1957. Currently it's set to run every 5 minutes.... No frontend available yet though, will work on that tomorrow. Here's a screenshot of all the data i'm logging. It's saved per date, and updates throughout the day. https://i.imgur.com/eiilHjm.pngThis output is pretty nice, are you able to, when displayed on frontend, to have any lines with a 0 as value highlighted yellow and highlighted red if all values at are at 0? Yellow would mean not currently mining but mined in last week. Red would mean no accepted share in the last week. |

It just take me to a login screen, and i can't find them on ebay using that name. If someone buy a batch, let me know i'd be interested. Even easier if you buy it to Canada. I don't know alibaba but if they can sell a batch and ship it to my address, maybe a 3rd party that know Alibaba could do the deal. Then it'd be easier to ship them out to whoeever need them. But i'm guessing this is probably what Jabberwock is doing anyways so we can probably wait until he has a batch for sale. I'm dealing directly with a connector and cables manufacturer who is making me those custom cables for the S5/S7. I'm buying them with larger batches of my other supplies from him to save a bit on shipping. As I said I'm not looking to make a profit on them, I'm considering it as a group buy. Thats good, i'm still waiting to hear back from you. Please let me know when you get the long S5/S7 18 pins long cables. I'd also pick up a couple of 16pin long cables if those are available wherever. |

Willing to buy; Working S3 Controller + 2x Working S3 Blades including all connection cables. Basically a S3 without the heatsinks + husk/frame. = 0.2BTC Shipped per working set(Willing to buy the whole thing if it does not make a big difference on shipping, in the case where you would rather not disassemble) Working S5 Blade + Support bracket (black metal thing you bolt controller and heatsink into) = 0.4BTC ShippedMay also be interested in picking up dead S5 blade in acceptable condition. 15$/per+ship Also interested in picking up 18 but also 16 pins long cables for S5's.Contact me to discuss if you have anything. |

I have, with a xapo card to purchase groceries for myself one time when I had no cash on myself. I just like how it is easier to manage and keep track of your money as transactions that happen would be displayed on the accompanying app on my android phone almost instantly.
Yes, Bitcoin debit cards and even Bitpay should just be a short-term solution until Bitcoin ecosystem doesn't grow enough so you can pay directly with your coins everywhere you want and need to. I do agree that these are handy aids until this moment this doesn't happen, since this will take a while. Merchants live on FIAT, unless FIAT goes away, which is very unlikely, i doubt we will ever be able to take FIAT out of the equation. Payments processor that will pay merchants in the currency they want will always be used, forever, until we get one global currency, which sound rather impossible because of sovereignty. This isint specific to BTC, this is for all merchants. |

by taking money out of the banking system and putting it into Bitcoin, people are reclaiming the power over that value, in it's holding and it's transaction
it can be regarded as a 'radical' form of economic activism
Bitcoin is a different money system, not just a different way of doing the existing money system...
the fact that the banks are updating their IT doesn't change the nature or the rules of their business.
Yes. Bitcoin is revolutionary. Banking will be an option in the future. Banking will always be required, there are services offered by them that cannot be offered by Bitcoin. Bitcoin has the strength and weakness of not being proprietary, which also mean all services comes without administrative powers over Bitcoin. However Banking with BTC integrated in the future, might give every services we could need with the best of both words. |

you can change your fan, if i'm correct the s5 mount 120mm, you can some artif fan f12 or the one with the pwn and install that instead, i've done the same thing with those scrypt miners, and they working fine, and were very quite
or you can undervolt it, but it require a little of experience with electricity
yep, he can always undervolt it, but process seems a little bit complicated, i dont know if this is your case or not, but here you can find a guide about how to do it with an S1 -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=526060.0i hope it helps you  You can not Penmod a S5, however. My tip would be to set the fan down to 25%-40% depending on the ambient temp. At 25% they are pretty quiet imo. I would watch ambiant temp before doing this. They can get pretty warm on S5's. They do not have a full case and only 1 fan so you should have a cold ambient to turn down that much. S5's just run warm and are not quiet by design. For reference, at the moment they are taking in air from a outdoor stream pulled in by a box fan. The outdoor temp is 10c, i have put 2 S1 fan on it running at 2k RPM, which is insanely quiet compared to one stock fan at stock speed. The miner's temp is 50c~ With 1x Stock S5 fan, i get same temps at 2.8k RPM which is still much better than full speed and bearable if in an other, closed room. You would have a low outside temp to count on this. If it is still warm in OP or others area it is not near as good with 25 percent fan. But I admit it's getting cooler in many places at this time of year. I'm not sure if most can count of so low temps yet all day to run so low. Yup. 40% with a box fan blowing air through worked for me during summer, however. I was able to run the miner at full OC with temps ~60c. During some crazy hot day, 30c+ i had to raise sometimes during the day to up to 65% to stay in the low 60c's. As long as OP and anyone else make sure to temps dont go to upper 60s or 70s, then the miner should be fine. Atm my temps are in mid 40s. During most of summer I had around a little over 12k actually around 14k when looking at my spreadsheets. I forgot about the C1's I was running in a different area. So i had to use a little more I used 2 of these in front of miner's to push hot air away from miners - http://www.lowes.com/pd_416730-11292-SFDC2-600T_0__?Ntt=416730&UserSearch=416730&productId=4755305&rpp=32I had one of these to help push air from window - http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-2265QM-20-Inch-Performance-Velocity/dp/B0073CQ9XA/ . And a second window I had a homemade fan with an attic fan. So it really moved air. So that worked great on moving air in and through miners. But the problem then becomes you need to exhaust the air. I did this mainly with a big gable upgrade - http://www.homedepot.com/p/QuietCool-Professional-3013-CFM-Power-Gable-Mount-Attic-Fan-AFG-PRO-3-0/206047381 . And with this some vents in ceiling. But all that got me through summer mining which originally did not think I could do. So very happy in the end. I will enjoy the free winter air to save a few bucks coming up. Thats pretty impressive, that must of moved air. I use 2 of these, different brand, 15$ each; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Holmes-Box-Fan-White-/191637946943One as intake, one as outake. I really wish i could use something with serious CFM for summer time, but i'm assuming the one you used are kinda noisy and probably not fit for an apartment? |

Just following up on the thread now... Do you want me to write some script for this? Would take maybe a day... I would just re-use the pool functionality from my app
Yeah it would be nice. I am getting tired of clicking on thirty names and pasting shares once a day. Takes a lot of time. Can you PM me all the workers? I'll whip up something for just this use I will send pm in the morning Cryptoglance, I've been maintaining a text list of the club participants here on dropbox (note that this URL will redirect): https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0d6d971udf8oej/workers.txt?raw=1It's a simple parseable text format. Comments are preceded by a "#" character. Addresses can take the form of a raw address, or a complete URL to the stats on the solo pool. The participants are organized by workers or donators via simple comments. I've got a Python script that periodically reads the list from the URL to send notification emails. TheRealSteve has also been using the list to automate his IRC bot. What we're missing is a nice web site that consumes the list and provides visible stats to the other members. Maybe the way this could evolve is a single text list like this could drive any number of applications, including stats on a web site. I've been updating the list when I see changes posted here. But perhaps a better approach would be to give Phil write access to the text file. That way Phil could update the list, and all the other applications could automatically update from that list. Does this sound like a reasonable way forward for everyone? Yes that is excellent, it could be read from any online text file. A service like google doc would work. The list would be public but it could be easily decided who tend to it. As long as the script or program/web server get the data from plain text, this would be simple and work very well to feed the database. Simple error handling to ignore invalid output and this should be perfect. |

Joining a signature campaign with a member status like a member or a full member can earn you 1 BTC yearly if you work and post actively, using faucets is also possible but would require allot of effort to reach 1 BTC in a year.
you can even start the "year" being a newbie and before the end of the "year" you will eventually become a Sr Member and by that i think you already earned around 2-3btc+ That is the good thing about activity slowly going up is you really can do more then most think. Some get stuck on "Oh no I'm a newbie I cant do it". You really just have to wait. Later in the year you will get much better campaigns on sig campaigns. thats the problem with some users, they dont think their rank will go up as time goes by if they are active here. they think if they are newbie today, they wont be a full member or even Sr member in a year time Maybe they think "I don't want to spend a long time investing time into postings before i can start getting gratified back." Thats their loss, but thats pretty common, in the human mind. The power of "getting something now" is very strong and the basis of consumerism and debts. |

Yes but the fees will eventually start to be more expensive after halving right?
What the fees cost is mostly depending on the free space in blocks. The competition is directly price vs available space, so to get a raise in fees collected, you need to see a raise in satoshi/kB bounty. To do that either you lower the available space or you raise the number of transactions fighting to get included in a block. |

The bank vault. Aren't they temp. controlled?
Yes and they have advanced fire suppression system. There's also not much flammable inside a vault made of metal. But fire shouldn't be really a risk if you put a backup in a bank. Its definitively a good place to store a encrypted backup of your wallet. Even if it get seized because your government don't respect civil rights or something, its not a big deal. |

Really interested to see the difficulty change. Weird having a low diff change when all that juicy new gear comes out. Maybe a ton being retired and a lot going to centralized mining?
Don't really know for sure.
We can guess there's not that much extra PH/s that was actually onlined yet, much more to come, most likely. Whats surprising is the difficulty not following the price. I'm not complaining by all means but you'd expect some people, especially with the cold coming to the north, would re online their s3's and such for profits/free heat. |

Did you try a different PSU? Coolermaster is rarely a brand you want on any electronics. Its quite possible that it could cause the miner to crash or damage hardware. Its also possible your controller just went dead.
OP do you have a link to PSU. But any 1000 watt should not have a issue. Might check with COOLERMASTER support as going from green to red does not sound good. Check the splicing honestly that was a pretty big mistake on a ATX. You should have got a switch. But they make some really good cases. But I have not ever used their PSU's. For starting an ATX psu, if you try another, make sure to connect the right pin. Its typically the greenwire and you can ground it with any black wire. If the wires are not color coded, just connect the 3rd and 4th pin. The wires are always at the same place, you can know which side is which by looking at where the clamp is;  |

stick a piece of paper in your wall
This is actually not a horrible idea. I cannot remember the spy movie but they did this. What they did was had a vent or something that allowed a straight drop of item and used magnets. So say you stored your paper storage in the wall with a magnet on it. You use a string with another magnet on it and you can "fish" it out when needed. Only problem is fire etc that destroy it. Safe's do not have the fire issue assuming nice safe. Isolate it with good metal, then covering that with aluminum that the fire does not destroy etc. Since you have access to the wall that would not be problem even if someone will start destroying your house. Another place to hide the paper wallet i would consider blank pipes(10cm extension) in your water installation huh? Covering it with aluminium would not change anything, the heat will still be transferred to the paper and thus all that will be left is dust. You could print the key with metal or some such, but the best thing to do is definitively have several backups. I don't know how is it called in english but firefighters use them. It is against fire and it can protect the paper too from the fire. Having several backups is the best idea for everything not just for the paper wallet but also for sensitive files/data, another idea? There's flame retardant and you can stack them together in a hard enclosure, common in flame retardants safe. But they only give you time, meaning if you do not extinguish the fire quick enough, the content will still burn. Instead imagine a steel QR cube. It could be grabbed easily with magnets too! I mean the material that firefighters wears, it's something aluminum. So that can protect the paper wallet from the fire. But it is recommended to have more than 2-3 backups so this is not enough. Like i said, there is only fire retardants. Thinking you can Fireproof it by covering it is a fallacy. Everything has a melting point so you can't protect paper from fire indefinitively unless you put it 6 feets under. This is why safes have fire ratings. Higher quality safes last longer and hotter fires. It all depends on the safe. Here is a example of the label: Exactly. As such there would be also a location to where best place your wallet backup or cold wallet. A basement would be best, in a corner, since there are much less flammable thing around. As such its possible that not enough heat will ever be applied to the safe. Concrete isint particularly good for combustion.  |

Price keeps going up higher 264 is pretty amazing right now. I hope we keep rising as it's very nice to see.
I am surprised how fast it moved. Man is it good tough.
At this rate we'll be looking into breaking 300s by Christmas, which would be a great present to me if it did. The difficulty does not seem to be climbing too aggressively and depending on how many people turn to ASIC heating for winter and new ASIC hitting the doors, we might be able to ride out the difficulty rise with an ahead profitability. |
