Before I write out a huge novel. I was wondering if any ranchers, or even folks looking for livestock. Within the community without going into detail as said. I have several breeds of cattle, boars, horses, pigs and rabbits. I own the land they are raised on as well as the pasture they are located to in the summer months.
I also have a local feed contact that would be willing to work with me to supply feed for BTC. If ranchers do exist. I would rather deal with them via telephone. I'm open to PMs but really just getting a head count.

Desolator, sadly for some argueing this is right. Formal education is a must for ANY trade or practice. I'd go out on a limb and say yeah you don't need college. But you cannot do it alone. You need mentors, you need critic's and furthermore you actually need a hard hitter like desolator to point this out.
If you want an example as to why. Go on digital point. Have one of those east indian coders do something extremely simple for you. You will pay for googled code. Ask them to provide source code then do some googleing of your own. You get what you pay for.
At any rate the point is, you can't be 100% self made. Ask yourself this question involveing a totally different field. If your house was on fire would you want the trained crew of emergency responders. Or the weekend on call crew that has basic training?

As a fan of FPGA hardware I've picked up my share off offloaded hardware. The chips alone are worth salvage in any case. I've obtained two MMQ units. Both suffering from the same issue. A 100% dead board. Or what appears to be a 100% dead board. Little infomation is provided on cures. Has anyone played with these things as far as a refurbish?

The hardware section has all you need to know. He's spot on however. A prime example is when this all started. Folks had this idea Anker Hubs and Artic Breeze Fans where the only way to go. Anker has a number of USB 2.0 Models out. But what was found mostly was 3.0. They would work with a standard PC Desktop/Laptop but not the micro controllers such as the rasp pi. Same go's for other makes of hubs as well.
A list exists of hubs that work/suck. I suggest searching for it.

So I'd like to offer my solutions to this major cluster fuck venture. I offer a non jeri-rigged solution that hardware wise will be user friendly to at least one of the designs. I would ask only for one of each board. Finished or with BOM.
You cannot hold me at gunpoint on this. But I have myself, my mentors and a little money to back this up on my end. Let's finish this project guys and lets do it safely.

From what I've read so far. Along with the countless FUD posts. I have this to say about TH. I believe it works, however I don't believe it's something that's going to work for the end user. I'm becomming very anal in what I say. With that in mind I will be comming up with my own two cents shortly. I'm still trying to get a feel to what has and hasn't been done |

This is a pretty wicked take on the current 11th doctor crossing over into the star trek the next gen universe. You have the doctor and the enterprise team battleing cybermen and borg and borg cybermen crossbreeds. It's very well done . You get vol #2-8. I do not know where my copy of #1 is. The action starts in #2 anyway.   I would rate these comics in a true NM/VF state. Asking 15 Litecoins Shipped |

It is most likely a hardware bug in the circuit. During our testing we realized that the Dual NOR gates used in the design are too fast, and there needs to be some propagation delay. Using a cheap NOR gate chip from Fry's did the trick. We are still trying to see if this can be fixed in the firmware.
Maybe you may also want to try to use a bigger capacitor for the phase shifter in front of the NOR gate. A circuit should not depend on the propagation delays or fabrication tolerances of logic gates. I also tried to use the internal comparator of the PIC as a NOR gate, which is even better since it has some clock synchronization register. But it has shown that the comparator is not fast enough... Already tried using bigger capacitor. Does not work. The only work around we have found is using a slower gate, so far. I'm sorry to tell you, but you're wrong. I'm using v0.3.1 board with bigger cap (currently about 260pF) and it's hashing quite well. Without it, the clock signal is not delayed enough - just about 5ns and bad nonces are returned. BTW terrahash, what modifications did you made to the 4 chip firmware to hash with all 16 chips? You are using 260pF for C274 right? In order to hash with 16 chips, you need to make the following modifications in klondike.c, from line 159: Status.ChipCount = 16;
// pre-calc nonce range values
BankSize = (Status.ChipCount+1)/2;
Status.MaxCount = WORK_TICKS / BankSize / 2;
NonceRanges[0] = 0;
for(BYTE x = 1; x < BankSize; x++)
NonceRanges[x] = NonceRanges[x-1] + BankRanges[BankSize-1];
They said here how they got it working with 16 chips..? Yeah the only issue there is, that it's not working and it even can't work with that. The firmware, in it's early stages, were programmed to send same configuration data to both banks. So you had all 16 chips doing something, the only problem was, that both banks were solving the same problem. So you have higher error rate because of the collisions, and only half of the speed. So changing the nonce range with the code above isn't going to help here. And I've asked them again (after that), if they did changed anything else, and got no response. And the response above I only get because they wanted to know from me, what changes I've made in HW to get it working. Is it alright that I PM you? |

As the days pass without shipped chips, it's becoming clear that projects using Avalon's offering will not see a profit, let alone ROI. Many of us have sunk money into board and assembly costs. At this point, there appear to be three options:
1. carry on development and testing, hope Avalon ships chips, keep fingers crossed that difficulty stays low enough to break even
2. abandon the project, demand mass refunds from Bitsyncom, and all take individual losses
3. sue sue sue sue sue sue sue
4. retarget the Klondikes for a more powerful chip
#1 is the equivalent of investing in CPU mining during the GPU revolution. We're paying for fancy space heaters.
I've invested enough that #2 is not an option for me.
Anyone crying "lawsuit" has no experience with the legal system. We entered into this venture knowing there was substantial risk. Tough titties people, throwing money at lawyers will not extract blood from a stone.
That leaves retargeting for another chip. I think this is possible. Functionally, chips do the same thing -- iterate over a range of nonces, computing a hash. The board design will definitely have to change, but I suspect the BOM will not change drastically. At the very least, the expensive parts (PIC, buck regs) will almost certainly not change. Also, there is now an actual market for chips, with different suppliers competing on price and features. We're in a pretty good position to negotiate bulk purchases.
Thoughts?
I don't think everyone needs to.abandon. For the sake of community development. I'd say we finish the project. If a handful exist that's okay. I understand people are MIA as well as nerve racked. That is why I believe wr need fresh hands and eyes on this project. |

I'd love to get my hands dirty in this project. I can work well with firmware and deadlines. I have Avalon Chips I just need a board minus chips or a finished bricked board. Send one with power problems. This project needs some fresh eyes. I'd work we would win and I'd somehow manage to get more beer and waffles in my fridge.
Not sure who has boards but there are quite a few people who are holding the bag for fabrication. I would try getting a hold of BKKCoins, SebastianJu, Ryepdx, Terrahash... few others out there as well doing boards I think. Our own team pulled the plug on our K1s and refunded everyone as it was clear chips were not going to arrive on time. We are now working on BitFury One USB miners but ya that be great need to talk to those groups and people still looking to go forward. Thanks for the quick reply. I'm glad we have some left who are willing and able. The potency of this shitstorm is out of control. I praise the efforts of bkk and everyone working on a solution. I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. And I don't believe we need worry about a serious landmark delay. It can and will work The |

I recently won a few auction for items I do want. But didn't expect to get for the price. I have been able to come up with 80% of the funds on my own. I usually sell silver, other valued metals, collecter items etetc and do well. Problem right now is I won't be able to ship very timely for the nexy month.
I have good rep here for both deals as a seller and a buyer. Same on bitmit and eBay. I have quite a bit as collateral includeing the item in question here. I would on October 5th pay back my lender the amount in full plus 0.3 BTC. If for some reason I cannot pay back in BTC. I can pay via google wallet, PayPal, Wells Fargo Money Order express shipped to you. Or cash.
Please post or PM.

I agree some of the colors used are an eye sore. I also am aware that's the point. I gues I'm detuned to advertiseing. I spent a few years of my life away from decent TV Shows because of advertiseing. I spent my childhood up into my adult life waitng for a GI Joe and Transformers movie. Only to find out they also became an.advertiseing platform. It sucks, we have our advanced tech to thank.. What do we do? It has now come to the point where people buying these signature based advertisements are paying higher to people who make more posts in a select period of time. This is encouraging spam & now not only taking away from the forums from a visual perspective, but a content perspective.
This clearly is your reason for anger. What I suggest is if you are going to put this much effort into posting for the logical. As well as posting for troll food. That you from time to time save a link or two. Kindly share them with the advertisers and see if they like what's happening. I would hope they would moderate these folks themselves. If they fail to even publicly say "hey this fucker is no longer being paid. We won't lose our money to spammers etc". Then post about that. Go for the juggler. |

 I work for the BLM. Basically I have a license to ditch dig and build shit that will be totaled before I'm to old to be on the same job again. Well lately we have had tons of flash floods. Assholes are getting caught in them. This is the result. This bastard gets to stay in the landscape. It's to big of a danger to move and half the rig is sunk in clay. Bet between me and the co workers is next flood we won't see it. That's supposed to be tonigjt. Lol |

Buying out users signatures as advertisements is being taken to the next level. There is far too many of them. Literally every 2nd post contains a signature violently advertising a gambling site or something along those lines.
To a newcomer this honestly makes the forum & Bitcoin as a whole look like one big joke. A bunch of people who have such little self respect that they use their signature to advertise for a measly $20 or so worth of BTC.
Not to mention the negative affect this has on the management team of the forum in relation to the ad revenue. Why would you want to buy a couple of ad's for a week when you could buy 300 peoples signatures for a month for half the price.
Thoughts?
I agree that a number of people that post with ads. Are not by any means quality. Posters. I have my moments burned into history. But I actually try to most of the time add to the convo not. "Derail brought to you by coinlenders." I put an ad in my sig because I know the owner. I know it's for the most part legitimate. And I've been paid timely to just roll normal. It's like an exra hundred or so dollars a year. That does help when you have hobbys. I think rules over time will change. A posters ignored level will matter. .. LoL. quack shit usually doesn't fly period. The problem will root itself out |
