“Hosted mining” poses a systemic threat to Bitcoin’s decentralization. This statement has never been proved to be true.  |

It's not healthy for the ecosystem to have a few huge pools. However, a system such as Multi-PPS may make huge pools unneeded. Due to increasing difficulty, it is possible for a fixed hashrate miner to never ever find a block. |

Just got the rest of my h-boards today! pushing 490gh/s with no overclocking   Thanks Dave and team Bitfury! That warning is really annoying when you are on a pool with auto adjusting difficulty. Makes me wanna slap something. |

I use Bitcoin-Qt, I find it interesting that people talk about Fee vs no fee likes the Fee is some kind of absolute. With QT people can change their default fee. If you feel .00001 is too high, then make it .000001. Several times i've used .00000005 as a fee just to see how long it would take to clear and i saw no noticeable delay.
So, paying a lower fee is a third option.

You are only saying you could care less because you know you made a bad choice and blew a lot of money on junk that will never ROI. I LOL at you and point a finger at you while LOLLING away.  This isn't a debate thread. Everyone knows that there is no good choice when it comes to mining. Go look for a fight somewhere else. |

ok, I'm sett5ing up an old style blade. I have this issue: Also, a bit of a tip for fresh asic Blade Runners (heh):
The initial post doesn't tell that your home network should be in the same subnet than your Blade. Blade's subnet is originally 192.168.1.x 255.255.255.0. My home network is 192.168.0.x 255.255.255.0, so I had a little bit of trouble at connecting the Blade's config page. The only thing I could do was to change my home network to the Blade's original one (and my PCs ip address too, at least to automatic and release and renew the address), change the Blade's subnet and other settings to 192.168.0.x and revert my home networks setting to the one that all my other network devices use (easier this way than to convert all the other devices to use 192.168.1.x subnet).
I'm not real comfortable messing with my router. Is there some other way to change the Blade to 192.168.0.xxx? Since this is a common problem they should have used more than one IP and made it selectable with a DIP switch. If you have a crossover cable around you can plug the blade straight into your network card in your pc. You will manually have to set the pc's Ip to match the blades current configuration for the ip subnet. Then navigate to the blade settings, change them to work with your router configuration. Then disconnect the blade and plug it into the router, it should find it by then. Restore your pc original Ip setting and you should be up an running I have been avoiding this because i just knew i was going to have problems, and i am. I got a crossover cable. I have changed the IP on an old XP laptop to 192.168.1.99. I set the mask to 255.255.255.0. i tried to use my browser to connect to 192.168.1.254:8000 and have had no success. Where do i go from here? I tried pinging that address and had no success, but i figure it just doesn't have ping running. Log-in to your router and make sure the Ip range is set to 254, My router only allowed up to 192.168.1.199. so I had to change it to cover the Blade. What type of router do you have. I can try and help you set it up I'm using a crossover cable in an effort to avoid messing with my router. my router is 192.168.0.1 not 1.1 Well i got it working. The issue was that one of the windows network apps had to be enabled. Networking is not my forte. So i managed to change the IP on one blade and connected it to my network. it immediately found the proxy server and started chugging along. There is a lot of stuff scrolling up the Proxy server window. This is Slush Proxy. I'm seeing some kind of Warning message, but it seems to be hashing ok, is this normal? |

Hi all - I've been in contact with the factory early this morning. They are making 1000's of boards and shipping in earnest next week. We will be *very* busy building, testing and shipping rigs to you. Please don't knock me for not camping on the forum thread for the next two weeks. I'll do my best.
Don't expect half-price H-boards or rigs to appear on the store any time soon. Tytus and I are not believers in the endless-doubling of difficulty theory promoted by sites like TGB. We'll mine our own equipment before we fire sale hardware.
I am making USB miners, which should show up before the end of the month.
Regards,
Dave
Where can order the USB miners? Do you mean they will show as available on the megabigpower site, or that they can be ordered now and show up in my mailbox before the end of the month? Dave is trying to avoid the preorder game as much as he can. When he has them in hand they will be available on his site. |

Low end ASIC would be okay. The problem comes with trying to solo mine against Bitcoin-QT with a a lot of hash rate.
Yep, I'm going to wait and see how things shake out before investing in anymore hardware. The point .85 version of Bitcoin-QT actually works pretty good for solo with my BE's. Now to see how long the BE's will actually last. how have you tested to insure that your solo endeavor will payout correctly, to the right wallet? What wallet would you expect it to payout too? Not sure I know what you mean? I'm not sure what i mean either. If you find a block the 25 BTCs goe into the QT wallet you are mining with? how do you know it will work? |

WTF All
The factory produced 280 boxes yesterday. This was the result of a few failures which have now been addressed
We will be back to full production on monday and expect to get back to shipping over 400 a day from monday onwards
We will keep you updated as we finsih our queue in the next few days
Sam
https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-54Hold on a second i thought they said they were open on the weekends.....
You are a liar, you have no damn sources, you haven't a bloody clue where in Sweden the facility is.
Fact - Factory is open weekends - the damn Asics were delivered on a Sunday by Johan on a commercial flight, and DHL with a hand courier. 24 hours later the first prototype at full speed was filmed working.
Fact - the factory does not close at 10pm or we wouldn't have spent several days in there 24 hours around the clock.
Fact - you talk out of your arse, and when called upon started your own self-moderated thread bashing KnC for all their hard work and delete comments you don't agree with.
Fun with you has to stop now. Ciao.
So why do we have to wait till monday? Same reason when on the 9th bitcoinroma claimed there were only 1000 units that needed to be shipped, but the have shipped over 1k units already just shown in the shipping updates, and they said starting Monday they will be up to 400 plus again shipping, someone lies out there teeth is why Hold on, I hope you're not accusing me of lying there. All I did was ask, and relayed the response I was given. Don't go shooting the messenger bud, and yes the factory is open weekends as you well know because a) the chips arrived on a Sunday. I was there. b) Markus was there all last weekend with production in full swing. I said someone it's lying out there teeth and its ether you or knc witch is lying, one of the two, and that is a fact I doubt anyone is lying intentionally, i suspect that circumstances are just changing rapidly. |

218539.065 Ghash/s?  And what, just a few weeks ago we hit 100,000G? Where is all this hashpower coming from? Are there that many BFL machines out there? Or have all those Avalon chips found their way into machines? What can I order, not have to pay a ridiculously insane amount for, and expect to get in a reasonable time frame (a few weeks?)? Is all this just a few million Erupters? Everybody says BFL like they should have an impact. I doubt BFL is even significant. I'm thinking KnC is the more likely source. And, there are a heck of a lot of Bitfury chips out there in various machines. |

Bitfury would be the same price as us ($20 per GH/s). With the recent run-up in BTC price, you're no longer at $20 per GH/s. Only if you pay in BTCs, the 25Gh/s board still costs $500.00. |

I obviously just don't get it. Maybe I'm old (43) and uncool, and not "in touch" with today's youth, so explain to me one thing.... Watching a bunch of Erupters hum away, making heat, knowing it's a money losing deal -- where is the FUN in that proposition? Having said all that, I'm the youngest, coolest, and hippest 43 year old you'll ever meet. I've been 30 for 13 years now!  I don't think it has anything to do with age, I'm 60 and i get it. For me this is a fun Hobby. I don't watch the erupters per say. I enjoy watching the performance of my equipment on the pools i mine on. I enjoy watching the number of bitcoins i have increase even though they come no where near the value of the fiat i've spent on this. I enjoy reading and writing in these forums based on my interest in Bitcoins. If i wasn't mining, I doubt i would find the topics here anywhere near as interesting as i do. |

Use CGMiner 3.1.1 so you don't have to continually restart your miner.
Yeah, that's great advice. Shame it's bollocks. BFGMiner is WAY better for running the Block Erupters than an ancient version of CGMiner. BFG has been running just shy of 9 days on Windows, and that was when I upgraded to the latest version. Previous version was running for weeks. This is on a Windows 8 machine that's regularly used, too. How is BFGMiner "way" better? Getting more than 333mh/s per miner? 3.1.1 works just fine days on end with 333mh/s per miner. If you're getting 400mh/s, then I could see "way", otherwise sounds like a fan boy comment to me. M I'm using 3.2.2 on one of my rigs with 35 USBs, runs fine. Uses a bit more CPU time than I'd like, but i believe in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I've never used BFGminer and don't see any need to. |

There is a limit to how big a block can be.

thats like intel advertising a 3.6Ghz CPU (which everyone knows can be overclocked up higher) but in reality its only manages 1.83Ghz CPU once you put it into a motherboard. and intel replying, thats what customers should expect...
maybe u dont know that but cpu use different clocks. You are probably talking about low power clock when its in idle mode so it can be 1.83Ghz or something. If intel advertising 3.6Ghz cpu its really working at 3.6Ghz.. or now with turbo even more It was an example, not meant to be technically or literally correct. |

I'm sick of starting over everytime an SD card gets confused. Could somebody give me a step by step procedure on how to make a new imaged SD card using the the Pi and the SD card it is running on? I have a USB SD card adapter that i can plug into the Pi. My goal is to have several backup SD cards that i can just replace the current one with should it get confused. SD cards are cheap. Also, how do you set the time on these things, i'm tired of living in the past.  |
