How about a 1/4 size Avalon?

p2pool is no more decentralized than GBT pools.

You're out of your fucking mind.

help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with bfgminer.

There's your problem.

As long as he didn't pay back my money I can't recommend to pay him before you have the product in your hand. It's up to you, but don't complain here if you do not see a product and do not get your money back.

Let's ignore all the people that he did pay back because your personal situation is more important.
45  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: is modminerquadstore.com legit ? on: April 14, 2013, 01:52:54 PM
It's not legit.
Thanks for asking.

Sorry, you're wrong.

He royally fucked the ASICs but he has consistently shipped working FPGA products.

" Unknown stratum msg: {"error": [-3, "Method 'get_transactions' not found for service 'mining'", null], "id": "txlist84f8", "result": null} "

Might be interesting to know what this "get transactions" originally was supposed to do.

It's a largely-useless command to get the transaction list that the pool is planning to include in a block. In addition to not being necessary for mining, it uses significant additional bandwidth, so most pools (and most miners) don't bother to implement it.
47  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: How many cores on the avalon asic chip on: April 14, 2013, 09:41:59 AM
Each chip has one core that runs at 250 to 300Mhz, 1 hash per hz.

Do the ASIC chips only have a single core which runs at 300MHz?

I don't know. You should probably post a thread about it.

That's the real trojan.

Its not slower

Yes it is.

You're basically saying that a hybrid car is not slower than a ferrari because cars are measured in L/100km. Having other favourable qualities does not mean that this unit is not slower than a GPU.

Your comparison made zero sense. Miners are measured in mhash/watt and mhash/tco.

You said it's not slower. Slower means speed and speed means something per unit of time. You then went on to talk about efficiency which is unrelated to speed. My comparison was the speed of a car versus the fuel efficiency of the car, which was a very close fit.

Whats the point of

I don't get it. Do you not understand the difference between:

It's not slower.

It's not important that it's slower.

?

cgminer + raspberry pi reportedly works well. rpi uses less power than a laptop.

Seriously hoping another non-scam comes along. Having only sold-out Avalon and eventually-kinda-maybe BFL is troublesome.

Good to see the refunds slowly coming through.
55  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Is buying an ASIC even worth it? on: April 12, 2013, 09:07:46 AM
Man I'm really glad I ran across this forum before I bought a shit load of jalapenos. Because I was about to, as their webpage looks plenty legit and all that good stuff. And then I started reading more about bitcoin and eventually found this forum. And also found out that BFL is a joke from what I've read.

They're definitely late as all fuck.
56  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Official CedarTec Topic - New ASIC [Scam?] on: April 12, 2013, 08:45:33 AM
Almost all of the new ASICs are scams.

This makes me sad.
57  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ASIC Status Thread on: April 11, 2013, 12:11:34 AM
ITT: Everyone except Avalon has not proven the ability to produce ASICs.

It is true that only Avalon has demonstrated the ability to ship ASICs in quantity.
58  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: How many cores on the avalon asic chip on: April 10, 2013, 11:41:58 PM
Each chip has one core that runs at 250 to 300Mhz, 1 hash per hz.

No! To get through the SHA256 pipeline you need at least 66 clock-cycles! And this is excluding all other delays, loading/extracting the data etc... Unless you know something I don't!

I don't think you know how pipelining works.
59  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ASIC Status Thread on: April 10, 2013, 11:39:34 PM
BFL: Epic delays. Possibly a scam. WARNING: do not order until (and if) they ship consistently

BFL is definitely a SCAM


Red text makes it true.

Yes, they're late as fuck, disorganised and incompetent, but compared to all the actual scams on the list, they actually have an office (and several community members have been there), they actually shipped FPGA products previously, and there's pretty clear evidence that they (finally) have chips that work, other than using much more power than planned. And yet, whenever their site goes down to a DDOS, there's people posting, worried about how they've finally run off with the money or some shit.

The level of paranoia on this forum is somewhere between sad and amusing.

and if people can't get this into their heads, they might as well give away their wife/husbands and kids as well.

When someone doesn't have the same beliefs as you, it's not a lack of ability to "get it into their head". I would suggest reading up on how people form beliefs before declaring everyone who disagrees with you to be a lost cause.
60  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Whos Achronix and why do they have a 22nm 1.1m LUT chip? on: April 10, 2013, 11:13:28 AM
how many hash could this chips run? 22nm should be fast and low cost power consumption, lets hope the price is reasonable lol ......... Smiley

Wild speculation: They can probably fit 5 hashing cores and run faster than a spartan 6...maybe 1 to 2 gh/s in total. Could be way off. Hard to guess about the power usage.

They might be worth it, if they're cheap and the btc price stays high.
