Is deepbit down?
My miners are getting tons of invalids (10%) on deepbit and my 7970 with Diablo complains: [2/24/13 1:41:50 PM] ERROR: Cannot connect to www.deepbit.net: Bitcoin returned error message: Deepbit.lib.InfoException: You are reconnecting to long poll too fast Something is amiss... |

Since ASICs are finally *shipping* (I guess?) should we update this with new calculations?
I'd be curious to know more actual payoff examples and how people come up with their network hashrate figures, etc... I saw the graphs in the other thread just need more reasoning!

This is kind of missing the point...
Reminds me of the GPU crazies pulling crazy stunts to run as-low-as-they-can voltages to get best MHash/power ratio. (On that topic: Yes I lower my vCore/Mem but still OC the core a bit.)
What everyone fails to realize is cost of power can make up for that. For example my rates just *raised* to $0.06/KWH.
So your "1 computer costs $100/month" example just got shot down my by 5Ghash 13video card quad-rig setup that costs me $95/month to run (and has for over a year).
BACK OT: As for ASICS, here is the real guide:
GET ANYONES ASIC/AS MANY AS FAST AS YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON.

Your steps are too complicated.
1. Wait until they have stock
2. Order
This is my plan. Safe bets make less profit though. |

Richland WA chiming in... $0.058/KWH here with a solid powergrid and redundant internet connections. Host for power cost plus  ? |

Ouch 9hr block/3hr average...
I have to say with the DDOS and the reward drop, this is the first time I've been unprofitable in a 24hour period, and I've been mining for over a year. Figure I only made back about 50% of my power costs today and my city is only $0.058 per KWH!
Sad to see GPU mining really on life support...
Great job Tycho/Deepbit on the run! I hope those ASICs get to this pool first!

This has been making me curious. With the block reward halving that makes most of Europe, much of America (Cali, NY) unprofitable for BTC mining with GPUs. I assume GPUs are a majority of the BTC mining base. But from looking at http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ I would say we are statistically about even with the normal swings we saw before. So are people just mining anyway just to see if BTC prices go up? At what point might we see a decrease in network hashrate? Conspiracy theory on the "now normal" wild network hash swings: Someone has ASICs running and keeps adding more as they notice GPUs exiting the market to keep overall network hashrate on par... (I know that's been pretty much debunk'd but still I can't help but wonder...) Do we need a poll? Are you: A Still mining B Partially quit C Turned off rigs Based on what I see today seems like A would be the response... |

$0.058 KWH here... Can I *borrow* your rigs for just a bit?  I actually traded up, and focused on 7970s/6950s at the end... I miss the 5970s but I knew trading them out for 7970s was a smart thing to do. Wish I knew how fast ASIC is getting here... |

Ouch 6+ hour block... that is one way to write-off a quarter of the day!

Yeah that PSU has a bunch of 20A rails. Most likely its something like Rail #1: Motherboard, Rail #2 SATA/Molex, Rail #3 PCI-E, Rail #4 PCI-E So the problem is because you only have three rails you can use to power the GPUs (assuming molex to PCI-E conversions) you can really only use three videocards! Thats why I love my 5 cards on my single rail (76A) PC Power & Cooling 910W Silencer, draws 750W from the wall and is BAMT stable for months at a time! I also used the same model PS with dual 5970s and it never broke a sweat pulling 620W from the wall. I have a Rosewill 1KW that has the same issue as the OCZ, too many rails and I only throw two 6950s on it. Sad  |

Thanks all for looking.
Have a deal pending payment!

UP FOR SALE AGAIN - WANT TO MOVE THEM ASAP!
Got tired of a couple members whiny PMs here last time (zomg u have to sellz toe me for like $240! -- hah umm... what do I say to that?) so lets cut to the chase and get a deal one... last cards in eBay sold for $280-400+shipping so this pair is "ebay low" applied to both!

---------------------------------------------------------- Price per kWh | 0.057 USD Current as @ | Aug 2012 Provider | City of Richland State/Province | Washington State Country | USA ---------------------------------------------------------- We have a mandatory $10/month fee to have service. Back when difficulty was low (past year), I figured it cost me about $1 to make a coin. Just did the math and think its about $1.75 now |

I went ahead and switched over to another pool a couple of hours ago.
Not a single getwork request failure since. Much more in line with what I usually see.
ABCPool has a significant problem with feeding work out fast enough.
I have had ZERO issues with cgminer crashing since moving away from abcpool.co. This is just my personal experience but wanted to share if anyone else is seeing similar stuff. I've tried the miner that comes default in BAMT, cgminer BAMT, and GuiMiner that I've ran on deepbit for the past year almost... Mined at ABC the past 10 or so days and noticed all the issues. Sure some might have been miner related, but even cgminer would report lots of temp dropouts on the cards. Temp Dropping = card has no work. All that constant heating and cooling seems to me likely harder on the cards thermally than a regular load. Oh well, back to the old pool(s) I guess... I loved the PPS payouts here, can't complain a bit about that! |

... coins hit $15.40 today...
And they also hit $10.50 |

You guys are paranoid - cracks me up! While that's all good, if you want ebay confirmation just send me an IM via eBay and I'll respond. Shipping is from Richland WA.
Oh and those cellphone cases were for my Sprint Google Nexus phone, wife had dropped her's in the river so I renewed my contract and got a inexpensive upgrade. Got one black/one white one.
eBay member since '98 so not my first online rodeo

Price drop to move these!

...maybe sell your hashing power to them in advance for a specified amount of time and you'd be able to keep them
Seems so much less straight forward than just selling them and not worrying about all that, but to each their own! I can always get different single cards later... Back to ot: want cards? Make offer. |

3 questions: 1. Why sticking with single GPU cards? 2. Did you have them running in crossfire? 3. Would you do a local sale? What state are you in? Edit: thanks ssateneth  odd i found this auction on my own and I'm just loosely looking to purchase more GPU's Great questions! I run (most) my rigs in the garage where its 100 degrees and my 5-series (single) cards can still stay under 70c with 60% fan (slightly undervolted) with extenders and 5gpus per cpu. I keep the 5970s inside and with 65% fan I see 72c. Don't want to move them out there. Inside I keep the xfire bridge so trixx can oc and control fan speed on all cards. Was bugged otherwise. I got the same mhash with it so... I dunno I just found what worked when I set this up originally and didn't touch it! I am in Eastern Washington (yay $0.055 kwh power). Hit me up! I only know these cards have been great for me and were stable miners in the config I have/had. Tried to not abuse them with crazy temps or speeds or anything... of course Ymmv! *sigh* I'd keep these but I had some unexpected house bills and this is one solution... shoot me a number! |
