there are a few issues with the wallet application tho.
I'm using the Windows wallet with updated blockchain from the one above.
if the wallet app crashes (which happens too many times for my liking), the entire blockchain must be searched.
this takes days on my i7 4970K (4.8Ghz) with 2.5GB/sec nvme drive.
it's actually faster restarting from the one above. This can't be how that's supposed to go.
Maybe this is just because of too few peers, that I don't know.
I've been solo mining MMC for a few days now but it is a pain because the wallet app keeps crashing (also the built-in miner doesn't stop when you ask it nicely by clicking on Solo Mining Off)
I never get wallet crashes. If I get disconnected from peers for whatever reason, I go to http://coinofview.com/coin/Memorycoin.html and list the peers under the network section. I run "addnode x.x.x.x onetry" from the console and the wallet is back in business. If you are interested in better HPM, then send me a PM. I can probably help you out. |

I am really impressed that neither miner next to the burned up one were affected. In fact, I am impressed the whole house did not burn down.
Generally the materials used won't support combustion so unless something really catastrophic happens, the worst case should be as pictured. I don't remember what the certification series is called but I think boards are meant to self extinguish within 10 seconds or so. True, I am aware of those facts and I agree with you. I think you are referring to the FR-4 materials grade designation for PCB construction. However, that does not preclude surrounding items, i.e. shelving or other objects depending on material composition, from catching fire. |

quite an interesting concept - ill be watching the progress ...
i do wonder though - that if the coin was more 'popular' - that the demand would lend itself the production of gpu miners ...
nothing is ultimately impossible in this day and age - its just a matter of whether its worth the time and effort involved ...
#crysx
I am sure that you are right, but unfortunately there are very few of us left who keep the blockchain alive. well - im interested ... so let me know what you and the few are doing - and what can be done ... #crysx I would like to get the wallet updated and perhaps get a GPU miner going again, but lately a lot of the hashing power has leveled off. The difficulty has even gone down considerably in the last day or two. |

Such an interesting thread. Can anyone imagine a conversation like this happening face to face if we were all in the same room?
Can I call it passion from the OP? Love your intentions dude. Best of luck.
When you can hide behind the keyboard, it is a lot easier to say things you would never say face to face. |

See I told you when I ask about someone finding a block we usually do. It happened again  I bet himawan made out good on that rented hash. |

Come on someone's got to get this damn block. It's been far too long now.
Wow, you just got your a long awaited block. Congratulation I know right! |

This hard-fork will have significant impacts on pool mining. If mined blocks are not built paying out the 50 HOdl reward to each miners address as is done in p2pool, then each miner will have to rely on the pool to make the necessary payout transaction after the blocks mature. Who is to say the pool operator is going to do the right thing and payout 50 HOdl + all interest? What happens if the pool discontinues operating for whatever reason? Miners will have to wait a whole year to find out if they are going to get paid.
Suprnova is running more for than 2+ years now, you won't have to worry. However you can still solo mine, nothing bad about that. Or - you can vote against this decision and it'll be another fork at some point where this crazy change is reversed  I am not concerned about myself as I have always solo mined HOdl. Additionally, I was not trying to claim that the current pools have questionable operators. There are many reasons why a pool may suddenly shutdown before payouts occur and not all of them are nefarious. What I am trying to do is point out that this hard-fork brings a level of complexity that may have been unforeseen because of the unique interest earning nature of HOdl. I also believe that it is relevant to inform miners of the risk they are assuming by mining on pools after this hard-fork. |

....... Aw,feeling sorry for Bitfury?? Don't worry they'll give you first dibs on chips or miners for your loyalty I'm sure  I think that quite unlikely. I am a nobody, and have zero skin in this game. I am just surprised at all the vitriol fired off in their direction for reasons that don't seem worth it. They claimed they would sell parts to miners "soon". It's obvious they won't, or more likely can't, make good on those claims. I think that hardly puts them in the same league with BFL, KNC, HashFast, Black Arrow and so forth. We should probably just let this thread die a natural death. Continuing to rant and rail about BitFury seems rather pointless at this time. Just my opinion, nothing more. The word for what you are describing is trolling.  |

I wouldn't be looking for a lower power, lower noise, two-blade S9 anytime soon. Bitmain seems to have no difficulty in selling all the S9's they can make at their current price, power, and noise. Why produce something cheaper while they are routinely "out of stock" on their premium product?
BMT could easily add a 10% premium per hashing board for an S9-LN and they would still sell out just as quickly even if they did not include the PSU. |

I fail to see how a vote open for a little over a day is representative of the community's opinion at large. I did not even see the motion until after it was passed and I would hazard a guess that it was/is the same for many others. The speed through which this motion passed definitely gives the appearance of impropriety. I support my assertion with the fact that the software changes are already in testing phase. It seems a little too pre-planned.

Himawan is killing my share  We need all the help we can to crack this block. LOL |

It's been mentioned a couple times, but this is not my project. Basically, I have been asked to oversee design and when I say "those attributes are fixed" what I mean is "those attributes are fixed by the person footing the bill". Y'all know I'd rather see something sub-500W, and my own projects will be. Actually ... the overarching project specific to this thread is more I am helping some people ... it'll be me doing a job for someone else ...
This will not be a GekkoScience product
what's been requested is a 10TH miner, so if the assumption is current-gen chips in the 0.1J/GH neighborhood, then the assumption is 1KW at stock settings.
Well, I stand corrected. I need to pay more attention to which thread I am posting in because you have a lot of miner related threads. |

Yeah, both side nice SOLID heatsinks would tend to help with making good reliable thermal contact long-term.
Might be a little more expensive, but heatsinks don't cost all THAT much.
That reminds me - why do you keep specifying you are locked into the "1 kilowatt power consumption" ballpark on the design?
Based on the below quote from the OP ...
possible features for a consumer-grade miner
...
I would say that 1KW is the target because the design is for a consumer-grade miner and 1KW is a sweet spot for those folks operating on 110V PSUs. I could be wrong though and I am sure sidehack will correct me if am. |

Bitfury's 16nm chips will come out when Half-life 3 comes out...
...
That was good for at least a small smile if not an outright chuckle. |

Has any one on here used a USB 2.0 to Fast Ethernet Network RJ45 Converter on a antminer, i have been thinking about do this just to see if it would work maybe even get faster speeds out of the unit. But the main reason i have I sit behind a comcast ip gateway and it is just a pain in the butt to get the antminers to work it.
Which AntMiner are you using? |
|

I've tried to put it in antpool, still same response. It's 4,73Th/s so the freq should be 700M, the firmware should be correct.
At the moment i'm running it on HP 1000w PSU, they are completely fine, i've tested them on another S7, working fine.
Thanx for the ideeas.
Any ideeas in order to solve my problem would be welcomed.
Reset it using the button. You'll have to reconfigure everything but it looks like that would be the next logical step here since nothing else jumps out as obviously wrong. Out of curiosity, have you disconnected the hashing boards and tried them one at a time? |

I am trying to get p2pool working on my computer. I am having the following problem: When I load the user interface I get these errors:  My user interface also looks like this: https://s31.postimg.org/mfpyr77wb/p2pool_problem_2.png1) I have NO CLUE how to use python. The installation instructions are completely useless as far as I am concerned. The setup guide obviously assumes I know more about python/p2pool than I know. 2) the instructions need to list an exact file name so that when I go to download the files needed, I download the correct file 3) the install instructions are not clear enough for some one that is not a developer to get p2pool working Getting p2pool working is nothing short of reinforcing my believe that linux users have an ego they need to stroke by making things hard to use. You guys need to make it you're number 1 priority to make the install of p2pool 1 click. thanks for wasting my time... You should be using git to clone into both bitcoin and p2pool. You should not need to do anything special with python other than running the script. From start to finish, I used the following on a clean install of debian linux: //as root type
apt-get install sudo
adduser YOURUSERNAME sudo
//login to YOURUSERNAME
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
cd bitcoin
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-wallet --without-gui
make
sudo make install
bitcoind -daemon
sudo apt-get install python-twisted python-argparse
sudo apt-get install curl
sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool
cd p2pool
make
python ~/p2pool/run_p2pool.py --give-author 0 --fee 0 --address YOURBITCOINPOOLADDRESSHERE
You should probably also make changes to your bitcoin.conf. e.g. daemon=1 server=1 rpcuser=bitcoinrpc rpcpassword=YOURRPCPASSWORD rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcport=8332 blockmaxsize=1000000 mintxfee=0.00001 minrelaytxfee=0.00001 |

The problem with signing is that it reveals your public keys, which isn't a problem at all. The only way that it would be a problem is if elliptic curve crypto would be broken, if that is the case you will have bigger problems than you HOdls.
I am not an expert on HOdl, but I am pretty sure that it does not use elliptical curve cryptography. |
