Any info on this announcement?

Have GPUs and FPGAs, going to keep mining until it's unprofitable. I still see no ASICs in the wild, I'm still skeptical.

You can see what I have in my signature. The whole game will be different in 7-8 months. You won't be able to mine with just a computer, you'll need specialized devices called FPGA miners or ASIC miners. there are plenty of threads in the Hardware subsections.

Pools can consist of thousands of different users, and those users may have multiple miners connected.

How long it takes to mine 1 BTC depends on your setup. My setup puts out about 3200 Mhash/s at the current difficulty I mine one bitcoin approximately every 2 days.

We won't know the profitability of FPGAs after ASICs until we see the effect on difficulty. Personally, my FPGA setups can run until about 45-50 million difficulty before becoming unprofitable.

Gonna update the title to reflect the new difficulty?

3,249,549

I think everyone is holding their breath about ASICs, that will change the game. I think people are trying to squeeze the last bit of profit out of their rigs before the ASICs start arriving close to the end of Jan/begginning of Feb. My GPU rigs can stay afloat until 4.5mil difficulty, and my FPGAs at about 45mil diff, where I'll be getting off the mining train. I'll stick around in BTC, but no more mining for me...

has anyone done a study on how CPPSRB compares to plain PPS, in real-world stats? I'd be interested to see this if it's been done. Say a set number of shares over a period of time, how many get paid and how much is made compared to PPS.

True, but either they are solomining or already have a history with other pools, and don't want to change? I've always liked the idea of higher diff shares, but I doubt my rigs could chew through them effectively.

to get the real advantage of the pool, one would have to go with 32 or higher difficulty shares. With higher diff shares, there is a larger variance for the miner. I believe pools like this will become popular once the higher hashrate hardware makes it onto the scene.

Excellent, working great now! Thanks!

kano: Stop being a rude, confrontational human being. Let it go.

Looks like I made the right choice in which miner to support...


Luke, I see this as a commandstring, but I have no idea what to use to send that command, as I've said. Should I just open a terminal? I doubt windows has socat and stdio, but I can connect over the network with my mac.

Will this persist on restart, or would I need to resend the command? If I do need to re-send it, why can't this be a persistent change with the config file? After playing all day with the RPC API, I don't see it being much more beneficial than teamviewer and the terminal interface.

Thanks for the help over the months I've been using your software. Much appreciated, I've never had a problem with you refusing to help. Thanks.

You offered valuable information, pointing me towards solutions, while claiming authorship of the code in question. I simply came here to take you up on that help, where you are more active. How insulting YOU are for essentially inviting questions by posting in the other thread, yet you call me rude for asking them.

You, sir, are an asshole. I can see why members of this community refused to work with you.

The website and mining server are very slow at the moment. I am seeing a higher reject rate from the pool also, no change in my hardware.

kano: I understand you wrote the RPC API. The API-Readme is quite confusing, how is one to execute the commands listed? there are some example files referenced in the documentation, but they aren't supplied(api-example.php, etc). I think I understand how to format a command, but how to send that command to the software escapes me. I want to be able to use the pgaset command for my MMQ(I hate having it start at 200mhz when I know each chip will easily do 215. Starting at 210 each time would save a lot of waiting for it to clock up)

I thought it would be more useful than this, however looking through the API-README, there are lots of interesting commands to add to the miner.php

Here's a screenshot of mine real quick:

You are the man. Thanks so much!

I'm running PHP 5.3

working on getting the RPC API working, but can't get past this error:





What am I doing wrong?
