We have not sent copper heat sinks to anyone that would resell the unit and I'd like to know how they got a hold of a NEX1500, with one of our cables that is for a Jalapeno (not a single), plus the rest of the parts to a minrig that that should be in a minirig...

I'd also like to know how that unit is mining, since it's not plugged into the USB port.

Do you have to reboot the minirig or the host that it's connected to?  If you have a dedicated box, I think it's just hooked directly into the box.  If you're on a shared host, then it's through a USB hub possibly, but more than likely, it's connected directly to the ports.

However, it's possible the internal USB hub is failing and needs to be swapped out.  That might account for what you're seeing if rebooting the host (but not power cycling the rig itself) is solving the problem.  If so, that's a quick and easy fix.

Is it being hosted at kcmocolo?  There are a bunch of rigs there and no one else has reported this problem... are you sure it's not something physically wrong with the rig?  Do you have to power it off and back on or just reboot the machine it's connected to?

Ah yeah, it rolls over at 60 minutes, so 60 itself isn't available, but 59 will give you 59min 59 seconds of hashrate estimate.

@byte1: So your mining unit is actually mining at 1/2 it's speed until a reset?  What hardware are you using?

Where are you looking at your hashrate, on the EMC dashboard?  Hashrates on pools are only estimates based on the shares submitted, so no pool will tell you your actual hashrate, only an average rate based on an estimate.  As long as your average hashrate over time is correct, you are good to go.

If you want a more accurate hashrate measurement, change your window under the settings tab.  It's labeled as "Minutes to estimate miner hashrate" ... change it to 45 or 60 minutes.

@af_newbie: The pool sets difficulty dynamically.  If you are being reset to 2 a couple times a day, it means you are disconnecting from the pool (or changing servers) for an extended period of time (I think it's set to reset after a minute or two).  Any idea why you might be disconnecting or switching servers?

I will be increasing the minimum difficulty here in the near future from 2 to 4 or so, but i'm not sure that's helpful to you specifically.  I think you can specify minimum difficulty in cgminer/bfgminer upon connecting, too, which you might want to do.

US2 and US3 should be back up now.  Stats will be wonky as the servers synchronize and catch up with each other.

Having a power issue in one of the DC's that host US2 and US3.  US1 is still up and will continue to accept shares.

I'll have US2 and US3 back up ASAP.

What evidence do you want me to provide that would be accepted, other than the fact that the increase in hashrate can't be accounted for from any other source?

I suggest you read up on how bitcoin difficulty works as related to hashrate on the network.  Whether it's 10 months or 1 month, it's completely immaterial to your ROI. The network difficulty would be far greater than it is now back in December if we had shipped everything in October and you'd have the same people complaining because they don't understand how bitcoin works.

You don't understand what quotes are used for, do you?  /mourns for our education system.

I would beg to differ:


"they have now taken more than 12-18 months to deliver on their products." would seem to indicate otherwise, since we never promised delivery until October or November.

There you go lying again, Frizz.  Can you show me one single person we guaranteed shipping in June for?  No?  Why not? Because you're a liar.  Shipping was originally scheduled for October/November of 2012.  It's not even October yet, so it's physically impossible for any order to be more than 10 months late. 

You, sir, are a liar (just like the OP)!  Congrats... but we already knew that.

Ooo look, the little trolls are are riled up.  Awesome

The waaambulance is busy today!

I'm sure your lawyer is having a good time with Xians', laughing at you guys while they take your money and whisper soothing words in your ear.

That definition looks about right.  Angry little monkies like PL, PG, K9, etc... might like you to believe that's happened, but as of yet they've not shown a shred of proof to back up their claims.  Most everyone has given up on them ever providing proof, since none exists, so we are just left with a giant circle jerk of the anti-BFL crowd patting each other on the backs in every thread about how awesome they are and how they are doing a service to the community, while everyone basically ignores what they have to say.  

So, unless you've got some proof fraud has been committed, you should probably move along.  However, if you do have some proof, by all means send it to someone who cares, like the police or something.  If the scale of fraud and illegal acts PG, PL, K9, etc... would have you believe were actually true, don't you think some governmental agency would have contacted us by now?   Occams razor would seem to dictate that PG and crew are liars, since all their claims of fraud have gone unanswered by the people who actually know what fraud is.

And why is that?  No fraud has been committed, so why would there be arrests made?  Your little fantasy land doesn't apply to reality, sorry.

Of course, this is a lie.  Not a single order's scheduled delivery date is more than 10 months old.  Where you get the claim of 12 - 18 months is beyond me, but it's completely, unequivocally false (in other words, an outright lie.)
