Recently there was somebody who posted pics of Cointerra's office with pics of the pcb's and everything. Can somebody give me a reason not to buy a TerraMiner™ IV?! It seems the best bang for your buck!! Thanks!  Looking to make some profit in bitcoin. |

I'm sure you have been testing different pools.
Also I just realized, with a little single running at 30 ghs you should be making 0.17355231 per 24 hours and not .23, how did you come up with that number?
Eclipse said I was running at 40gh/s As Zanatos said, a pools reported hashrate is just an estimate. Your miner was probably having really good luck, finding lots of shares. Wait an hour, and Eclipse might report you as having 20GH/s. What does CGMiner say your hashrate is? The fact is, 30GH/s should average 0.17BTC/day. So your estimated earnings of 0.15 are pretty close, and as you continue to mine, it will level out even more. As I mentioned earlier, your first 24-48 hours might be lower than expected, by after a few days you should see some consistent income. Pool luck also has a bit to do with it. You might have good days, you might have bad. We all know you're a greedy bastard who wants every single bitcent out of your pools, but that's not how it works. TL;DR Stop whining about a 0.02BTC loss in one day. Just set it to mine, and leave it alone. It will eventually average out. Ok, now I get it. |

I'm still encouraging you to test btcguild. I think PPS adjust the payments to the average pool luck. If the pool has had too much bad luck it will pay less because it doesn't have the btc to pay. Therefor payments on the largest pool are much more predictable, and it usually has better luck than smaller pools.
I started using slush in 2011. I used it until deepbit became more popular and after I test it I realized I was making more btc there. After that the same thing happened with btcguild.
Whats the point in no fees when you are getting 35% less than you should?
I don't want it to seem like I'm doing nothing. I've been switching pools, I just started btcguild an hour ago. We'll see what it's like ending 7:30 tomorrow. Thanks!  |

Still not making the amount I should be!  Making 0.15BTC when according to the hashrate calculator and the charts at eclipse I should be making 0.23BTC!  |

Update: I'm going to split the reward among everybody. I'll pay the transaction fees. It won't be much since the .05 (maybe .08) bitcoins are gonna be spread. I'm doing this because it's not fair to leave people out. Leave your bitcoin address if you can haz donatez! Any way to increase my performance on pps with my current bfgminer script?! What more can I do to get the most efficient amount of bitcoin is the question. I run my little single bfl miner 24/7 if that helps {

Load balancing is enabled in bfl miner. Does load balancing mean that it's hashrate divided by number of pools in the .config file? This is my bfgminer config. Should I "load-balance" : false, so my hashrate doesn't spread accross over 3 pools since I'm using pps? I'm leaning towards; yes?? My goal is to list a few pools in the config so if one goes down another will pick up my mining work. UNLESS there's a benefit to load balancing!! Is that why I was getting such poor rewards with dgm mining??? Because I had 3 pools listed with load balancing??? {

50btc seems legit. I don't want to pay any fees I don't have to so btcguild's 8% commission "pps+commission" seems out of the question. I'll give 50BTC a try.
What is better for my 30gh/s little single. BFG Miner or CgMiner? I'm guessing it doesn't matter?
|

|

use btcguild with pps 5% PPS fee + an additional 3 percent. So 8 percent commission. May I ask why you're a fan. I'm still pretty new to this.... |

Besides luck and number of blocks solved, other miners joining/leaving the pool will also affect how many coins you get per day.
Try mining on another pool for a few days and see if you get better returns.
What pools do you suggest for my configuration? 30gh/s Asic Miner....I want all the bitcoins I can get! :-) |

How could a site report 30k mh/s and for the past 3 days only make around 0.10BTC on average? That's 0.07 behind what I should be. You mentioned there was bad luck this past day but it's been a while I've been noticing this ever since I started dgm. How long does it "catch up?" to the 0.17 I'm suppose to get? And what's this 60/40 ratio you speak of?
So by luck you mean that if the blocks take forever for the week, there are less solved blocks, in turn I don't get paid nearly as much as I should? How does it catch up for lost coins?

Update:
I'll pay .05 aka 8 dollars to anybody who can answer my questions and set me up right, to get the most I can for my Little Single machine.

Also, I switched the workers to PPS then switched back. Does my DGM reset completely or pickup where I left off? Sorry! I'm a n00b. I read a bunch of articles and maybe I missed it but I tried! "DGM vs. PPS" I'm just desperate as hell with the dificulty level going up so quick and there was no time frame in that thread of how long dgm takes to catch up. What's the best payout method and pool for a BFL little single? SO FRUSTRATED!! ***deep breathes*** I'm using BFG Miner |

So this really got me upset with the eclypse pool. I've been using dgm for 1 or 2 weeks. I'm mining at 30gh/s on the pool according to the charts.
I'm making like 0.10 a day. According to a hashing calculator I should be making 0.1736 a day. Now I know DGM takes long to catch up but how much long should I have to wait I'm sorry, I'm really frustrated and this stuff is tough.

These aren't modified through BFGMiner, the throttling and clockspeed is controlled in firmware. Short of modifying the firmware and flashing it to the unit using JTAG it probably isn't that easy. You might have some luck asking on the BFL forums however...
Are you sure it's done via Jtag? What a pain in the ass  |

I'm using bfgminer on my little single and the temps that are shown shows room for progress "(30c/60c)". I'm running windows 7 with a little single. This is what I got in the config file. It's basically vanilla or literally vanilla. I took out the pools and username and pass for security. What temps can the little single run at? Where do I modify and how high. {

My gpu keeps pushing the fan to 100% with that bat script you suggested. Is that ok to push it to 100 every 1-2 minutes?
