HE IS MINING WITH OUR EQUIPMENT!!! I am almost 100% sure about it, why would he also start selling USB HUBS, very strange COINCIDENCE!!!
I am waiting since 25th of june, received only some shitty response (made up never exisiting timeline).
Waiting for papers from German authorities? How many papers you need to send package within EU?
It's so bad that Friedcat is not aware what is actually going on in here.

Ok, now I do understand why you have 666 in your Forum name...

I already bought some USB Block Erupters directly to yxt and received them with no problems. Both USB Gizmos were intact and sealed. Also, I'm waiting for some more USB Gizmos from a Spanish group-buy that bought them to yxt, after the announce of the new lowered price, and all equipments are now in transit from Germany to Spain, via DHL.

  • UPDATE: They arrived today, 15 Jul 2013, to Spain.

In Portugal, the time needed to free a package from the Customs goes from 1 week to 2 or 3, or even more if the value of the goods is high. I imagine the same for the German Customs... After all, both are EU Countries...

And if yxt is starting selling USB HUBS, it's for our own good, as he for sure will validate that those models  will work with the Rapberry Pi, prior to announce them.

Many thanks for all the great work you are doing for all us Europeans, yxt. Thankfully, you are the EU re-seller, and not some Devils...

Also, regarding the "Donation Period", I tried to reorder the pools using the "Switch to" buttons of the miner.php page and what they do is to switch the pool, without killing the cgminer program, as you can see in the following image (I did a switch from pool 0 to pool 1 and again a switch from pool 1 to pool 0). The cgminer is still running.

How do you know this?  I set two pi's up with miners and scripts, one to try switching pools via restart and one to do it via the API every 30 seconds for over a day to find the most reliable method.  What tests did you run?
I tried many, many times to switch pools, using the "Switch to" buttons of the miner.php page of version 0.2.1 of MinePeon and I never had problems.

But regarding the pool switch you implemented, last week I received a alert email at 00:25 AM, alerting me that my miner was not working. The fact was that, after MinePeon killed the cgminer at the ending of donation period, the new cgminer could not access the USB Block Erupters. This happened only one time.

Why don't you fix your donation pool as pool 'n' and at donate time, do a switch command to your pool, doing again a pool switch to user's pool at end donation time, instead of killing the cgminer program, launch a new instance with your pool and then, @ end donation time kill it again and launch again the cgminer with user's pools? Killing cgminer 2 times a day is risky (one time, last week, cgminer refused to detect both USB Gizmos) and info is lost, like running time, best share, Hardware Errors, etc...

Can you PLEASE stop asking for new features whenever they occur to you!

I am sorry, and I don't want to appear snarly but if I just start to through things in whenever the fancy takes me this whole this will turn into a buggy, wonky bit of s**t in no time flat! Tongue

The way I (and a lot of other developers) work is we slowly chip away at he code, we release one thing, let it sit and test it for a while with the testers, perhaps go back and make improvements, then once we are happy and the code appears good we release another thing (and the development cycle continues).

I will get to the features you want, you just need to let me do it in my own methodical systematic way.

Neil

P.S I am not really grumpy, its just every post you make there is something new!  I also have to hold down my full time job so I can do this for you Tongue .
When I recommend a correction or a new feature, I don't think only about me but also about other users that would like the same feature or correction. It's why I write them here @ the thread and not PMing/SPAMming you.

I'm not demanding you to do what I'm writing (after all, I'm not your boss), but only to give you some ideas that I thought being positives for the project. If you would like them, you could implement them in a future release. If you don't like them, you can always disregard them as stupid ideas and move forward.

But as I can see, you don't like this type of comments. No problem for me. I'm STOPPING right now to give you any further comments or asking you anything else or even SPAMming you.

I rest my case and I'm going to move to other programs, even though those 3rd party programs will never be as good as your's.

Best regards and good luck to MinePeon and to yourself.

As to where to put the buttons, I am not sure.  I am against adding buttons for the sake of having them, especially when they serve no practical purpose whatsoever, it just starts to look messy.  I do plan to add a submenu under settings for 'Advanced Settings' where all the fiddly settings go like API port and subnet and such, perhaps we can put them there.

Neil
That's a good placement, Neil. Or you could put the button near the "kill the cat" one, as the Settings page is full of space. No need for a sub-page there.

Use also a heatsink glued on the ASIC chip.

Where can you get these heatsinks and (thermal?) glue?

I bought a Raspberry Pi heatsink kit, that includes a 6x8mm and a 8x8mm heatsinks, both good for the USB Block Erupter ASIC chip.

The kit includes the thermal tape needed to "glue" the heatsink to the ASIC chip.

I spoke with the seller about this USB Gizmo and he is trying to have a selling of a 6x6mm heatsink. I'm still waiting for news from him.

Meanwhile, this is the link to the eBay selling kit if you would like to buy it, tlr: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121059845105?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Glued? I hope you meant thermal paste. Im pretty sure that glue is a bad heat conductor you dont want between the to cooled chip and the heatsink.
I mean 3M like thermal tape. See next post for the link to the heatsink kit, SebastianJu.

If you check again it only took 5 working days, not 10.

He shipped the package the 28th (he sent online order 25th but that doesn't count) and you can't count weekends.
My suffering waiting for the USB Gizmos is independent of being weekdays or weekend... eheheh
448  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: New single ASIC miner board on: July 14, 2013, 05:13:21 PM
Lower hash rate than the USB Block Erupter, but more beautiful.

Let's wait for some overclock and I hope aauer1 will sell some of those Gizmos, as I would love to buy one.
449  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] >>AsicMiner USB, Casascius Coins!<< Pay with SEPA/BTC! on: July 14, 2013, 03:50:33 PM
DHL DHL Express
Yes, yxt. I know that "in the flesh". It took 10 days from Germany to Portugal, to receive the USB Block Erupters from you (first German group-buy).

As I buy many things via eBay, Germany included, I know for sure that Registered Airmail takes only 2 to 3 days from Germany to Portugal (and other EU countries). Probably, for packages less than 2 KG, it would be better to send them by Registered Airmail instead DHL (standard): Lower price and less days. But this is only my humble opinion.


I think in your order was some error, holidays or bad luck, because is not normal they take 10 days.
I do hope you have reason, BitAddict, for our sake. I hope to have my new USB Gizmos this week...

I like the new feature @ MinePeon 0.2.2: % of Reject & Discard. Also the "more space" for pools.

Going up, from 20 to 30 minutes of Donation Time.  Smiley

Still missing the prioritization of pools "on the fly" and buttons like Restart and Quit, as in old miner.php page.

Going down, from 30 to 25 minutes of Donation Time.   Wink

Greetings.

Regarding the new install program, I recommend to pre-select the \program files (x86) folder and not the \user\Aplication Data\local.

Also, it would be nice to have the option of adding a icon in the desktop.

We're aware of the issues with the site, we're working on a permanent solution.  Even when the site is down, it is still safe to mine.


But I still love Triplemining.com!
455  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: MultiMiner PR6 - Your Coins. Your Pools. Your way. - Includes .NET API's on: July 13, 2013, 11:00:22 AM
I'm trying MultiMiner PR6 with my new dell-Alienware M14x.
It has 2 graphics cards:
  • Intel HD Graphics 4000
  • Nvidea GeForce GT650m (default)

The program only detects a GPU and when I start mining, cgminer only detects the Intel GPU.

When trying cgminer alone, it's the same.

But when trying with Diablo Miner, it only detects the Nvidea GeForce GPU and mines with it.

How can I detect both cards with MultiMiner/cgminer or, in last case, only the Nvidea GPU?

Thanks in advance and have a great week-end.

Wow! I like it more than the USB Block Erupter... and what about mining results?
457  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] >>AsicMiner USB, Casascius Coins!<< Pay with SEPA/BTC! on: July 13, 2013, 09:44:20 AM
If someone is interested I have 20 units not sold from someone who failed to pay.
I'm selling them @1.15btc/each. I'm no longer offering discount on 5+ units since they're my last units and I don't know when I'm receiving more.

PM if you want to buy!

Cheers!
Sent a PM...  Grin

The site is still down, but I think the mining server is still up and running, as I keep getting blocks from the pool and it is accepting my results.

UPDATE: Web site UP!

Also, I have same opinion as bronan, regarding our sub-pools:

I also am missing a tool to kick non existing miners from the list of users on the sub pools
