Mining at Arsbitcoin I am getting an extra 1BC every 5 days compared to deepbit. Arsbitcoin is where it's at!
Yep. I have been trying to say thing all along. Mining at arsbitcoin has put me closest to what i should be earning out of any pool i've tried. Thanks BurningToad! |

It should try to go back to the original after however many shares you set for it.
Link your pools configuration file for the miners (I assume it's the same or very similar). Just blank out any usernames/passwords you need to.
Ahhh. Is there an example of this somewhere? My current pools files looks like this: http://x:x@arsbitcoin.com:8344http://x:x@mining.eligius.st:8337 |

lodcrappo: Is the failover feature in BAMT supposed to move back to the original pool if it comes back online?
Arsbitcoin.com went down last night for about 1.5 hours and all of my miners switched to my backup pool, which I am very grateful for. Only one phoenix instance out of 50 was mining at ars when I awoke this morning so I am not sure if that one instance never switched over or if it was the only instance which switched back.

phatk2 gets me 370Mhs/s @ 900/775 with 3 on the board (BFI_INT VECTORS FASTLOOP=false WORKSIZE=128 AGGRESSION=13 -a 5). Still testing with the 5 card rig. How did you get the mem clocks down?
900 has proved very unstable for the cards I am using. I haven't used BAMT to it's full extent yet to fully optimize my Mh/s as stability has been more important since I don't have remote power cycling capabilities yet. |

Are you running BAMT from USB or HDD? And what clocks? BAMT from USB. Two of these boxes are clocked at 875/500 and one is at 865/500. 875 produces 357Mh/s and 865 is at 354Mh/s. |

lodcrappo you can also add 5 5830s with the same asrock motherboards. Should be able to update you regarding 5970s later this week.  |

The Big A Miner Thing is a custom linux designed specifically for dedicated mining rigs. It boots from a 2GB or larger USB key and is persistent. The base is plain old Debian, and every effort has been taken to remain a "normal" debian system. You can add software with apt and do most anything else you could do on a regular debian box in the usual way. BAMT supports both 32 and 64 bit systems. Included are all the drivers, programs, and scripts necessary to very quickly deploy a dedicated machine that will automatically start mining when turned on. This is not an OS you will enjoy using to surf the web or write a term paper. Don't even think about asking why you can't print or where the mp3 player is. This is for miners. Individual mining processes are started in screen sessions, and so can be viewed remotely via SSH or on the console. Realtime status is displayed on the local console, and performance graphs are available remotely via a web dashboard. Munin node is setup with custom mining extensions and can be connected to from a central server to gather mining metrics from several mining rigs. New in version 0.3 All configuration done in a single file, including overclocking, kernel parameters, etc. Each GPU can be monitored for temperature, load, mhash/s rate, and share accepted rate and the system can generate an alert email if a GPU is not within your defined normal range. Miners now have dead/weak pool detection, hung Phoenix detection, and can failover to an unlimted number of backup pools. Web console updated. Supermodified Thunder Phoenix with all the latest kernel tweaks for insane hash rates. Maybe other stuff. New in version 0.4 Centralized config management. Control the configurations of an entire mining farm from one central point. Switch an unlimited number of rigs/GPUs to a new pool with one command. Monitor the status of your entire farm on one web page. Various other optimizations and improvements. New in version 0.4bAll fixes through #11 preinstalled main web page: http://aaronwolfe.com/bamt/download http://aaronwolfe.com/bamt/bamt_v0.4b.torrentminer dashboard screenshot https://i.imgur.com/zgtAd.jpgfarm dashboard screenshot https://i.imgur.com/sl17b.pngBAMT chat - #bamt on freenode, or click for web thingdonations to: 1PoRYaGS56ksQmK7XXLurW3B2zwCAE8PRc thanks lodcrappo thanks for BAMT. It is the easiest way to setup a mining farm and I am very grateful for all of you work. Please keep it up. BTC is on the way. |

Does anyone know of a userbar that uses the arsbitcoin.com api so I can put one in my signature?

We use http://www.gigenetcloud.com/ for all of our servers and they are quite amazing. Good price, live support personnel 24/7/365, plenty of bandwidth, multiple datacenters. |

You should get about 370 MHs @ 900 Mhz. The fastest fix might be to try another OC application. Trixx is probably your next best bet. Also, clocktweak is worth a look.
I disagree. See screenshot.  Your Mh/s will also differ depending on how many cards you are running on a single MB. I run 5 of these per MB and there is no stability at 900/500. I have to back off to 880/500 to keep things stable. |

I have been with Ars since the day it switched to SMPPS. The buffer is not and has not ever been. It's currently 164.40936498 BTC. All you are waiting for is confirmations (which is not the same as a negative buffer).
Maybe you should have a look at this -> http://stats.nuradu.com/Switch it to 1 week and take a look at the buffer line (army green) line. You will see the buffer has been over -100 BTC within the last week. Please get your facts straight. |

@BurningToad: Please don't switch to PPLNS , with PPS we don't need to care if it is a lucky block, or not, (especially because I don't mine 24/7) and that's exactly the reason I switched here.
Please don't change it!
I would agree with manifold. I do mine 24/7 and ars is the only pool where i have received my expected payout if my computers run for the entire day. No other pool I have tried has been able to do this. Of course everyone likes the current system when there has been a month or two of good luck. But it is not reasonable to assume that the good luck streak will continue indefinitely. I wonder how many people really understand SMPPS and what will happen if the buffer goes negative... There is a signifiant probability that at some point in the next couple weeks, the pool will run out of buffer and then everyone who was loving the SMPPS system wills start screaming that the pool is screwing them over. twmz, the buffer has been negative for at least the last week and we are still getting paid, just not quite as fast. I have been at ars when the buffer was +800 btc and when it was below -100 btc. There was a big fear of miners leaving when the buffer when negative and that did not materialize. |

What mining software are you using? I was using Phoenix 1.5 on windows and it seems to drop the long polling after a while and that is was caused the higher stale rates. I then switch to cgminer 1.5.1 on windows and my stale rate is around 0.3%. I also am using BAMT with the latest phoenix 1.6.1 and stales are also very low on ars.
Shares This Day: 3821 Stales This Day: 50 (1.2917%) ahh i c. Maybe it is Phoenix 1.5-related, because I was using phoenix 1.5 exclusively until a few days ago. Now I am split between Phoenix 1.5 and CGMiner. I will try upgrading my phoenix. I'm also going to try out BAMT at some point, probably next week. You are full of good ideas gigasvps! I appreciate the kind words. BAMT is pretty amazing since you only need to edit a single config file to get it up and running and really helps keep costs down with only needing a usb stick for the hard drive. |

I don't know about you guys...
but when the price of BTC drops $2 in one day, the first thing I want to do is sink $500 on another mining card (or $4,000 on 8 of them).
...or maybe not.
Good thing I'm spending my money and not yours. Maybe I'll make a video rendering farm since you seem to think that it's all going tits up soon. |

Has anybody received a tracking number yet? I think my F5 key is about to wear out.
calm down!!!! i've never had an issue on newegg... if it says shipped, it's picked, packed and waiting for UPS to pickup and scan the code in. *twitch* Looks like they are shipping out of NJ. Every order I have made with newegg.com and neweggbusiness.com has come through. |

Hi, I had a problem with a 6950 I just added to my collection... LOL when I did the over clocking unlcok thing everything would go to 0 and not save the new clock speeds I put in. I am using afterburner.
I have the same card and it seems to be stable at 880/625. I get 358Mh/s per card with cgminer 1.5.1. I am using MSI afterburner for the overclock/underclock. |

Nice! Thanks for the post. Donation is coming your way. Just picked up 8 of these bad boys!
Thats a big investment for no warranty 0.o I hope they all work well and don't die on you shortly after the 30 days. I guess I could put my money in the stock market or under the mattress but Bitcoin mining is more fun though  |
