My cgminer is restarting too frequently. Is there a log showing why it was restarted?
System Log.

try a hard reboot.

syslog is simply showing that cgminer-monitor is running regularly. It doesn't show why cgminer died/restarted.

3363  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Will Avalon Batch 3's ever make ROI? on: July 13, 2013, 11:04:57 PM
I estimate a batch-3 delivered today to take about 3 months to break even (roughly 80 btc). Since batch-3 hasn't started shipping yet, that's an optimistic view. Difficulty increases are just going to accelerate over the next few months. Batch-3 will likely break even by the end of 2013. Not bad, but not great either.

We have 1 full reel (3k chips) available in July - worldwide.  Whomever buys it locks it up.

I call dibs. Now where did I leave that wallet with 4000 BTC lying around...

All orders are refundable 100% in USD nominated price until shipped.

Quoted to preserve refund policy. No changing refund policy after receiving orders (like other less reputable companies are doing).

Q. Do you issue refunds?

A. (Updated) All orders are final. However, you can request a refund before your order is shipped. We will process each refund request on a case-by-case basis.

Looks like their learned from the masters (BFL). Offer refunds in order to land a bunch of pre-orders, and then start refusing refunds without warning. Deceptive and nearly worthy of a scam label.
3368  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Bad News on: July 06, 2013, 04:43:30 AM
Looks to me like the higher the difficulty, the lower the btc value in US$. Probably because as the ASIC miners kick in, difficulty skyrockets; and these ASIC miners need cash to pay for their "investments" in hardware, so they dump their newly mined coins as fast as they can, thus flooding the market with new coins for sale, consequently the drop in btc value in US$.

Roughly 3600 new coins are minted each day. Mt Gox trades about 150,000 coins each day. Miners cashing out is a very small portion of the market.

To improve the situation, fees are now adjusted to the exact minimum needed.

Define "minimum needed." I send a lot of transactions with 0-fee, and because I have old coins 0-fee is the minimum needed.
3370  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon ASIC users thread on: July 06, 2013, 04:02:18 AM
Can I just take a step back now and point out to people there is absolutely no way I could have developed the avalon code to this level of maturity and features if I didn't have one myself. Avalon themselves offered me only one module to develop on, or to deliver me one quickly if I purchased one at a slight discount, and this was only at Xiangfu's insistence, who was their developer and understands how important developer access to hardware is. I'm certainly not happy that I actually had to pay for it since I never intended to be one of their customers effectively doing the software for their hardware for free, so I was torn about whether I should or not, but ultimately knowing it would pay itself off anyway I gave in.

Great firmware. Keep up the good work. Here's my 1 btc donation.

It is sure nice of them to change their policies after people have already placed orders. Such integrity!
3372  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin Foundation receives cease and desist order from California on: July 05, 2013, 12:52:16 AM
Now the Foundation has done so, and we will have to wait and see DFI's response.

What are the odds that DFI will file a response? Can they just drop it without any response?
3373  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Off-Topic on: July 05, 2013, 12:09:55 AM
Maybe if this was the "SUPER-DUPER OFFICIAL TerraHash Thread", then they'd respond to it. As it is now, it's just any old "OFFICIAL" thread that may or may not be responded to.

Dust outputs don't take up any more space than a 100BTC transaction.

You have to look at it long-term. Dust outputs won't get spent. 100BTC outputs will get spent and pruned.
3375  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Process-invariant hardware metric: hash-meters per second (η-factor) on: July 04, 2013, 02:13:39 AM
Maybe it's just me, but when you tell me Bitfury has a 2800 score and KNC a score of 90, that really seems odd. Especially considering KNC's gigahash/watt is better than Bitfury's or BFL's. It really makes me question the relevance of this metric to me. Are you saying KNC, or someone, if they had access to KNC's design could replace it with a design that's 30 times more efficient? Are we saying KNC's design is basically one giant fuckup? Doesn't seem to make sense or accord with known facts.

KNC's chip is purely theoretical.

This rolls back to the previous hardware error target of <2% when using avalon-auto which is worth about 1.5GH more on average.

How about making the target error rate a parameter?
3377  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL refund through Paypal claim on: July 03, 2013, 11:05:06 PM
Of course to find a "BFL" legal entity or an individual to take to court is a different matter entirely,  as far as i know bfl is completely anonymous, just some website ran by a bunch unknown individuals. There is no legal LLC or legal ownership established. So who are you going to sue to get your money back if paid via btc or wire?   Only way is to go through the criminal route, but the feds wont even look at it if it's less than 7 figures, and if the individual are outside of the US you can completely forget about it.

BFL is a US corporation, but the owners are unknown.

You must cancel an order and provide a prompt refund when:

    the customer exercises any option to cancel before you ship the merchandise;

That's pretty clear. If the merchandise has not been shipped, the customer may exercise his option to cancel and you must refund him.

The other choice is opening a public IPO and going for a larger run of IC, 100.000~200.000 and mantain our previously announced marketing strategy. We want to hear the community opinion about this.

Just do like everyone else does. Make up some numbers and open your website for pre-orders. There's plenty of fools customers that will throw lots of money your way.

47 difficulty is way too high for some miners.  Take a Block Erupter for example, at 300 MH/s - it will never get paid in your scenario.

Never? 300 MH/s will generate roughly 5 47-difficulty shares per hour.
