I know A+C is busy. I don't mean anything negative, but just to give a shout that I'm still here and waiting. People tends to forget about people who are silent.  Also.....a few people with timestamp of 29th and 30th got their order shipped...... That is true! I messed up with the order when using 'data -> sort' in the OpenOffice spreadsheet...  However I will compensate anyone affected by this mistake. I will also refund the parcel cost not used to cover the re-shipment. I am learning how difficult is to estimate parcel costs and prepare international parcels to dispatch. Keep tuned in, lads and lassies. Augusto, today I've received two units out of my five, see index 30 in your spreadsheet. I don't want any compensation, apart from receiving my three remaining units.  spiccioli |

For anyone interested, after running for a week with the fuses, there was no noticeable damage to the chips on the control boards. However, it's still recommended to remove the fuses.
I've opened one of my two units the other day, batch 2, received may 31st and mining since then with wifi disabled, no signs of overheating and units stable and hashing well. I've taken a couple of photos, just to be able to compare chip state later. Flat cables from control unit to blades can block airflow though, so I bended them a little to leave a passage for the air. spiccioli |

As to propulsion - we need to find the equivalent of momentum transfer. Clearly the size of a transaction relates to this. A large transaction clearly would give more oomph than a single Satoshi. Care must also be taken to manage the change of the transaction to ensure the bitcoin backwash does not nullify any initial impulse.
Change, jim618, is what gives you that momentum transfer since it goes backwards and so it propels the amount transferred. If you send one satoshi from an address that contains ten bitcoins it will go out with a lower force than a similar satoshi sent from an address that contains ten thousand bitcoins spiccioli |

Was that miner running 800 ghash/s or was it really only 700 ? 500 ? I'm very interested to know. Hippie, shown hashrate is correct, I can say this because I know my hashrate and the pool reports it correctly. It fluctuates, though, given that even an Avalon is subject to variance in finding shares and the more higher the difficulty you use the more higher your variance. spiccioli lol its not. That shows your effective hashrate. The actual number is what your mining software reports. My best paid share was a 32k diff and it reported an almost 40 ghash/s spike on the graph. This was after 8 hours of the graph showing a flat line or 0, instead of the 330 mhash/s the 5850 was running at. I'm not sure I'm following you here, but if you're mining with a 5850 you should use difficulty 32 and not 32K otherwise you'll have a flat line at 0 for most part of the day. A 5850 will find a 32K share once or twice a day and the pool estimates your hashing speed from your submitted shares, if you submit few very high difficulty shares in a day its estimation will be wrong. spiccioli |

We've lost some hashing power... but two blocks today until now spiccioli |

I'm considering doing a split between here and another PPS pool (best of both worlds?), I was on BTC Guild but those fees are high...any ideas?
I'm a small GPU miner and I mine on my own TRC pool right now, but the 3 pools I suggest people look at for BTC are HHTT, Bitparking, and Eligius. thanks. are Bitparking and Eligius 'Avalon compatible' - I've heard good things about p2pool but that Avalons have issues? p2pool is not Avalon compatible at the moment. spiccioli |

are Transaction fees split, 50/50? cant seem to find any, payments are for the PPLNS credit amount.
Yes, when you find a block you get two payments, one for the PPLNS Share and one which is half the block fees spiccioli |

Pool stabilized (as if I did something... ) and two blocks found as of now for today. spiccioli ps. so, stop wondering and point your hashing machines here! Sorry spiccioli, but that's too simple. I want to know how a pool handles its shares and payout and for this pool it's not clear to me, the information on the website is outdated and fireduck is missing in action. Yeah, I'd like a word from fireduck as well, but from his profile he has been away since May the 30th.... spiccioli |

Well, we have lost someone with 8 to 10 Avalons, but given that 2nd batch is made up of 600 units... we should reach around 36 TH/s in the coming weeks  spiccioli |

 1 TH/s lost in half a day... spiccioli |

Thanks for your answer spiccioli,
So how this pool calculates what we earn is not written out on the webpage...
I have looked at a few miner pages, on all pages earned equals paid.
This sounds wrong to me, after finding a share, earned should increase.
Too bad fireduck is 800 BTC in the negative. And of course no PPS 'sucker' felt the need to partly refund.
Too bad two big miners decided to leave today, hashing power of 5 Avalons. Or they had a problem, looks like they're back.
I will stay on this pool for a few more days.
I would like to get some more info though.
BenTuras, please read here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=95378.msg1812740#msg1812740 and some previous/next messages to see the switch to PPLNS and fireduck own words. I think that miner pages show a share value as it was with PPS, but now with PPLNS the only value that matters is the one inside "PPLNS Share"'s column and this value reflects the miner's share of a block and depends on miner's hashing power. spiccioli. ps. if fireduck could confirm/clarify and/or show where I'm wrong it would be a good thing |

I am trying to understand the payout of this pool. Mining Rewards
This pool does Pay-Per-Last-N-Shares (PPLNS) at:
BLOCK_REWARD * (1.0 - FEE) * (1 / difficulty)
The fee is calculated as 0.0025 + (0.0475/pow(share_difficulty,0.6))
The look back for the PPLNS is 2 * network_difficulty
If I chose 128 difficulty, FEE is 0.51% BLOCK_REWARD 25
FEE 0.51%
difficulty 12153412
PPS 0.0000020466 ฿ x 128 = 0.00026196 ฿
This is 2x what is shown for a share, so it must be the last sentence that specifies the needed divide by 2 to get the right answer. Can someone explain this look back to me ? Then the monies on the miner page: The earned and paid stays the same value, no matter how many shares are found. They only change after a payout. I would expect earned to increase for every new share. Is this intentional or not completely implemented yet ? Then the pool funds: Looks like the pool is 800BTC in the negative, is this correct ? Has someone managed to get hhtt-payout or hhtt-block working via Amazon Services ? Edit: I will answer the last question myself: It seems that there are no messages send from HHTT to Amazon(NumberOfMessagesPublished=0 on Amazon SNS), hence Amazon can't send out messages... BenTuras, this pool went from PPS to PPLNS shortly after the first batch of Avalons went out since PPS was causing it to go bankrupt, in fact the pool, or better, fireduck is in red by 800 BTCs he paid to users (suckers) when this pool was PPS. I think part of the payout description was never changed. In the monies table: Earned: what you earned given found blocks Paid: how much of your Earned income has already been paid Owed: how much the pool still owes you PPLNS Share: your share (how much you're going to earn) of the next block the pool will find. spiccioli |

I removed wifi on my batch #2's on Thursday evening... have not cut/removed fused F1, yet. Wanted to report that the NEC usb hub chip is room temperature, to the touch (during hashing).
Leaving it alone, for now. Anyone else besides btclvr try the mod?
Drakness, There are two options on the GUI: disable wifi and remove wifi, which one did you choose? I've disabled it friday evening and since then my units have been hashing without problems. In a couple of days I'll stop one and open it to see if chips on the control board show signs of overheating. spiccioli |

One point three TH/s !!! fireduck please update thread title, this pool is growing |

i just pointed some firepower over there last night...just changed Diff to 512. rates seem more reasonable than say BTC Gld but we'll see how it actually performs
silverserpent, being a PPLNS pool, it takes at least a day before you see your real payout when a block is found. Look at your "Last Day MH/s" column value and wait till it reaches your real hashrate. spiccioli ok, thanks. previous change (Diff to 512) made system unstable, reverted to standard/default 32; any tips? *I did change to 300 Freq and have been averaging bout 72GH/s. Utility@ 30.64? is that good? appreciate any feedback Try using 129 as difficulty, 32 is too low for an Avalon. spiccioli |

Anyone with a successful removal of fuse F1, yet?
Yes, I removed it from my Avalon and all appears to be working again. The fuse would not pop completely off the pads but enough of it has been removed to open the circuit. It was more of a cut than a removal. A better soldering station might have helped. Had you noticed any overheating of the NEC usb hub chip? There were no signs of damage from heat and the Avalon has been stable before and after the mod was performed. The component temperature was not measured. Btclvr, are you, were you using wifi ? spiccioli |
