That sites meant for sexcoin. It need some loving if anyone wants to help out!
I don't know, this sounds like a good way to catch a sexually transmitted coin.... ;-) |

Hi All, just received 2 SP20E's from Spondoolies.
One of the units has the following on the ASIC stats page.
LOOP[1] ON TO:0
2: disabled (Asic all engines fail BIST)
When I first power up the unit the stats all look fine, about 1 minute or so after hashing begins, I hear the fan spin down and then back up and this message is there. Hash rate also drops to about 1400Ghs from 1650 at the same time. Running at max setting or underclocked dosent't change anything. Have also tried 2 different power supplies (seasonic 1250 gold and EVGA 1300 G2) that are running without issue on the other SP20. Current settings are:
Fan = 80
Start volts all .73
Max volts .735
Max PSU all 275
These are my first Spondoolies, have been mining with Antminer for about a year so forgive my lack of knowledge on the Spondoolies side.
I've reached out to Spondoolies support but no response so far. Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
Spondoolies may be on holiday this week, don't fret if they don't move super quick for the next few days. |

Why does everyone here think the automatic thing is to dump? Isn't the whole "high-brow" point of BTC centered on building an ecosystem around it's use and adoption? So that a BTC is a BTC, and not just what it's value is today in USD?
Actually most ppl here are dumping for BTC what they can spend on more miners to make more dumps for new up to date miners and so on... "HELGA What about the killing and looting? That's just as crude, isn't it? ERIK Oh well - you've GOT to do them. HELGA Why? Why have you got to go round killing and looting? ERIK To pay for the next expedition, of course." ...anyway they are heavily boosting the BTC ecosytem  . I get that, but the same is true in the BTC mining world. You've got to spend your mined/earned BTC on new equipment to continue to make it "profitable" to continue to mine. It's a never ending spiral. At least that is what the "hodlers" will tell you. I'm not positive about this, honestly. I'm not the most successful miner here by any means, but I started with a $200 video card and now have a small army of equipment and more BTC than I ever expected. I haven't gamed the system in any way, either, I've just brushed up on a fair amount of math in the last year. I suppose YMMV. |

I'm new to WestHash, please excuse me if these questions have been answered already:
1) Does KnCMiner Neptune work ok on NiceHash?
2) Why are the SHA-256 payouts on NiceHash so much better than mining Bitcoin recently?
2) Paycoin Isn't that a Scrypt coin? It's a SHA256 coin, so ASIC compatible. I'm confused, so it is not this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=268941.0Because that page says that the algorithm is Scrypt. Yeah, that one was the original coin called "Paycoin" and it was a scrypt coin. The guys over at GAW either didn't research or didn't care. The original coin dev has mentioned legal action against GAW. |

Is there any way to fake the MAC address on a C1?
Not easily, unfortunately. Are you needing to snake a firewall? |

Kudos, man. This is way cool! What software did you use to stitch it all together with? That one is pretty simple javascript, it loads all the images on top of each other and then displays the next in the sequence as you move your mouse. There's better ones I'll put on later which let you drag and zoom to a higher res version, but they don't physically fit on my site. I've got the 360 in up to 4K, but I don't think anyone would appreciate 160mb in one go  Neat. I look forward to more like this. |

I'm kind of happy that it's been a while since we've seen those annoying mining calculator predictions based on the assumption of an exponentially increasing hash rate that goes on forever.
But I would like to know whether the calculations shown by different mining calculators does have any significance in them or they are worth nothing? Except difficulty, is everything that's predicted there, true? Well, the only real variable is difficulty and mining uptime. If your device (with known output and power costs) stays up an average of 95% of the time, then the real variable you have to consider is difficulty. So most mining calculators are correct, but guessing the difficulty is just that, a guess. Cheers. |

Interesting thing , but I don't think this is the first time that the diff. has been reduced ? Or am I wrong ?
You are correct, but it's the first time we've seen a decrease in almost two years. Also you're right , do we know what has reduced the diff ? Or are only a lot of *home-miners* that have turned off their hardware machine ? I'm under the impression that the general consensus is that the current BTC price has slowed the number of new units coming online. There seems to be plenty of stock available (from both BM and SP) on shelves now, which leads me to believe that sales may have started to slow. Combined that with the fact that some miners, hobbyist or professionals, may be turning off some of the 1WGh machines in their possession and you've got a solid case against difficulty rising. It could also be that miners are waiting to buy until new products are announced with more power efficient chips. |

Hopefully the difficulty will last few more months. I am sick of seeing the difficulty halt for 2 weeks and jump even more then the last month added up.
It looks like it may remain low, or even decrease again in seven days. That said, there's no telling when a new mine will come online. |

I just got 2 S3's to replace some S1's One is hashing perfectly, the other first climes to about 200 gh/s, and than it drops back down to 10 and sometimes 0. Anyone had the same issue before? I've tried another PSU and different pools, but with the same results  How are you powering these miners? |

I bookmarked your site, Dave--I appreciate your insights. |

Quick update. I logged into my Prisma cluster this morning to give them a preventative reboot only to find out that Minera had restarted cgminer without a problem sometime last night. I'll keep an eye on it, but it looks like CG's suggested 60 second setting is keeping the system up and running.
I'll let everyone know if that changes!
Cheers.

One question if you mine on nicehash does it show up on your westhash balance or does nicehash have its own balance,I mine with my own rigs.
They are separate. |

So what kind of uptime are people seeing? After a couple/three weeks here my Prisma is stable with a Pi running Crazy's cgAM for 5-6 days before I have to hard restart everything. Today when mine crashed (probably due to 20 degree weather, got too cold) I had to warm it up and then do a few cg restarts to get it back to 1.4TH.
Sounds like my experience is pretty normal, but for those of you with a few of these how do you deal with the stability?
They do seem to like being restarted once in a while. I reboot my Pi every 24 hours but haven't figured out the best way to power cycle the Prisma yet, so I'm just doing it manually for now. I've found that my Prismas don't like to run for much longer than 48-hours in the DC. I've had to restart them from the rPi three consecutive times now, through Minera. That said, if you catch them before they cool down, you don't have to restart cgminer as many times before it "catches." I'm playing with the auto-restart function in Minera--we'll have to wait for it to die again before I can test the settings. Cheers. Try enabling auto-restart and check for 1 dead device that doesn't submit shares for 60 seconds. Thanks boss, I'll give that a go! So, as predicted my Prismas died again after two days in, about 55 hours total. I was away from a VPN connection, so I only had what information was available on my MobileMiner instance. It showed the entire system being down (the rPi, I presume) but it came back up after 15 minutes, so maybe the rPi rebooted. Any specific logs I could look at on the rPi to get some insight into this issue? And thoughts or comments are appreciated! Cheers. |

Basically nil difference, you'll just get the same rewards this difficulty as the last. Hooray?
-.7 % is awesome compared to +10% we've been seeing almost every week for months. I am happy to make as much as last two weeks - especially if that goes on forever. I am just glad the biweekly reduction of my system has been avoided this cycle! Fucking Hooray!!! This. It just bought me an additional two weeks that I didn't initially calculate in my maths. I recognize that it's not likely permanent, but I appreciate the slight respite either way. |

My unit keeps throwing up low hash warnings on ghash every few hours, and the controller resets after a while. Hash rate when its running is fine, all chips accounted for and chips temps never >90C or so externally. I've tried a known working controller and I've also tried @220 on the chips but no difference. Any ideas, I've not seen this type of behaviour before.
I presume the low hash numbers happen when the controller resets--do you have a USB UART to try the device with a rPi controller? |
