I think we all wish we started in the beginning...wouldn't that have been a hoot  I started in 2011. I which I hadn't spent 50 BTC on Jalapeno and Block Erupters! |

So i did just take another SD card and flashed it with the latest firmware and it worked.
SD Cards suck for reliability. Mount it in a PC and run Spinrite level 2 on it and reformat it. That sometimes will correct SSD type media. |

Feel free to name a major pool with a 2 week ramp up time.
All PPLNS Pools have a ramp and ramp down. The shorter the ramp up/down the higher chance there is of shares not getting paid at all. This has happened quite a bit at Slush, but I don't recall it happening at Kano.is. So it's a trade off. |

I'd rather get what I mine than worry about variance. I have never heard a reasonable reason for reducing variance. The excuses I hear for the ramping up and down are always that it doesn't matter, which tells me that it does matter, or it wouldn't be done. And second, that it reduces variance. Well, so what? I don't think that something that I don't want done (reducing variance) should be used to justify a practice of ramping up and down that I also don't want.
That is the nature of the PPLNS payout system. All PPLNS pools work the same, which are most of the pools that exist now. |

If your pool has a support thread you should post there and ask them.
Most likely it's just variance. Pool side hash rate is just an estimate based on how many shares you submit in a given time frame. The pool has no idea what your actual hash rate is.

What's the key factors to connect a pool?
Bitcoin address. Bitcoin mining hardware. Internet access. |

I had similar problems with getting a Gekkoscience 2Pac running. I needed to use the cgminer version from the Gekkoscience 2Pac thread.
The Jalapeno is directly supported by CGMiner. I just fired up mine a couple weeks ago for giggles with CGMiner 4.9.2 and it worked fine. So I would try it on a Linux or Windoze machine for a test to make sure the hardware still works then move to the RPi. |

I want to solo by GPU.
It didn't work. Why?
CG Miner is a Bitcoin miner. So it only works with Bitcoin mining ASIC hardware. You need to post in the Alt Coin section to find out info on GPU mining software. |

Isn't a D3 and altcoin miner of some sort?? CG Miner is for Bitcoin only. Try posting in the altcoin section for guidance on what software supports that. You should be using Bitmains firmware I would think.

I've read it already. I posted it in general mining, instead of another, because I planned on posting updates on the general mining process. Not only one aspect of it. Also, I'm starting with Bitcoin. Not Ether. Unless, you wanted to point my attention on something else? Well you didn't pay attention then. Your talking about mining Bitcoins and altcoins with altcoin hardware. Bitcoin difficulty is way too high to mine with GPU's regardless of your electricity costs. Pools will ban your GPU miners because they take up the same amount of pool resources as an entire Peta-hash range ASIC mining farm with no benefit to the pool or miners. So your best bet is to follow the forum rules and post in the altcoin section, where this thread belongs, and mine altcoins with your current hardware and then buy some ASIC's with your rewards and then start mining Bitcoin. Good Luck. |

Yeah, but there is a little bit of difference between a few hour ramp up and a 7 day ramp up.
So you mean to tell me that your pissed at Kano because you don't like the way PPLNS works? Really?? I don't like the way PPLNS works either, I like straight proportional because it's easy to understand and check, but it's hoppable. I could really care less that it's hoppable as I don't have a problem with hoppers making a little extra for the extra work they did. But the Bitcoin community overwhelmingly disagrees with me on that and demanded payout systems like PPLNS. So if the ramp up and ramp down irritate you then blame the entire Bitcoin community. Kano is just acquiescing to the demands of the community at large. |

What sets the price? How do we determine the price?
There this little known principle that doesn't seem to be taught any longer. It's called Supply and Demand. That is how Bitcoin price, and the price of everything else for that matter, is set in this place I like to call the real world. |

So... you want people to tip you for showing them how to waste electricity and burn up their CPU???
Bitcoin difficulty is way too high for CPU or GPU mining.
