Hey Luke,
Noob question: Connect the USB from Avalon3 Single Module – 290 to PC (running Windows 7 pro).
Will BFGminer mine (Eligius is obviously the pool of choice)?
Thanks,

I think Pool ops need to add to the User Agreement that users found to be selfish mining forfeit any non-dispersed mining funds and are contractually obligated to return their ill-gotten gains. Most other users would support this.
The problem is how can you prove it statistically except for looking at massive deviations (like 6 magnitudes off).
I am not totally sure how mining works now, but couldn't a pool spot check miners by giving them work known to contain a valid block solution every now and then? I'd be easy to get evidence this way. and randomize the WU. |

I could not agree more. Karma will get you sooner or later.  The website screenshots suggest an interesting possibility. In china, it's illegal to price goods and services in bitcoin as a unit of account. It was not illegal back then. It's illegal now. Our last Bitmain order was on 2-June-2014, so that's changed in the last 12 days? |

As I have ordered S1's directly from Bitmain off their website and paid in BTC. And Avalons site lists product for sale denominated in BTC: https://ehash.com/shop/ |

I own a ISP as part of my company and have seen allot of malicious behavior in the past, but this is over the top. If it was me I would block the IP block of the person in china that is doing this crap. Heck block all IP blocks from china if one has to. Very easy to do. I am sure WK is extremely busy dealing with this.
We're an OpenVPN provider that services the Chinese market (amongst other places) and I would wager you'd be amazed what Chinese gov sponsored hackers will try. We have "special" techniques to handle a-holes like that, nuff' said. "Revenge is hell, but paybacks are a MF." There are 2 rules for success: 1. Never reveal everything you know. . . |

Forgot to mention, as what is appearing to be a large spike in hashrate on eligius of some 2 petahash, with the start of some long blocks.. bad luck or withholding..  Might be some folks leaving Ghash to prevent them from being a 51%'er. http://hackingdistributed.com/2014/06/13/time-for-a-hard-bitcoin-fork/and yes round sucks right now. but that'll change. |

So let's see if I get the math on this one.
1,000 broken boards only hashing @ 400GH/s each is 400TH/s.
At the current difficulty that's 17.1109 BTC/Day (almost a block per day).
@ $575/BTC = $9,838.79/Day or $293,384.29/Month.
Tough life.

I wonder when the BFL website will be back online? Any ETA on when the BFL website will be back? Come on guys... you know the answer!  Is "NEVER" the answer you looking for? Cuz' it wouldn't surprise me if while the site was down they went for Chapter 13. |

Update is going to come tomorrow, since there's some language in there that will provide some dates and I don't want to commit to something we can't deliver and I need to review it prior to posting it.
And today the forum website is down.
This does not bode well.

Mr. Teal,
We are also interested in The Habanero.
Next Batch?
Please, pretty please.
BFL is driving me crazy.
Thanks,

Know this is off topic, but FYI:
Ordered a BFL Imperial Monarch (1TH/s version) on 03-04-2014.
BFL promised shipping by mid May (in writing).
Now 06-07-2014 no card in hand.
Asked for refund, turned down.
Hate getting stiffed for $3K.

FYI Starting Nmap 6.25 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-06-03 01:46 CDT Nmap scan report for stratum.mining.eligius.st (23.21.171.183) Host is up (0.082s latency). Other addresses for stratum.mining.eligius.st (not scanned): 23.23.190.241 PORT STATE SERVICE 3334/tcp closed directv-web |

Let's put some things into perspective.
The pool is currently hashing w/ 7,132.70 TH/s, The value of a BTC is $622.35.
At this network difficulty Eligius is effectively mining ~$6,366,836.29 /Month.
If WK took 1%, which he doesn't, that would be $63,668.36/Month or $764,020.35/Year.
"Stealing" $420K would be shorting himself about $340K/year.
If I were in WK's position and of a thieving mindset, I'd be thinking about stealing the $6 Mil not the paltry $420K.
WK, we are very grateful that the Eligius pool exists and that you tirelessly give of yourself and your time.
Thanks.
On July 1, after we payoff a little loan that bought our initial mining H/W, we will be 1%'ers (it's the least we can do).
We look forward to the day when we can help compensate WK for his efforts and additionally offer all our NMC payouts.
All we need is an NMC address to forward that miniscule dollar value to him. Hint hint.
That's our .00003 BTC's worth, back to lurking.

no issues with stratum here.
stats server response seems "noisy".

wizkid057 do you have a public NMC address for "tips"?
Would like to make you the recipient of our merged mined NMC.
I know it's not much, but every little bit helps right?
Thanks for all you do, BTW.

FYI,
It appears that google's DNS does not have an "A" record for eligius.st.
Amazon's DNS resolves correctly.
Just got:
"Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at eligius.st."
Prompted me to do a little checking.
kinda looks like somebody is screwing around with a DNS re-direct/kill.
50.16.187.58 works just fine, BTW.
Inquiring minds wanna' know.

Haven't flown since 2003 as I refuse to be the subject of a "random" whole body cavity search.
I take the train (Amtrak) or drive.
Besides being bitcoin miners has probably got us on some terrorist watch list. lol.
Subversive financial types that we are.
