So you are telling me that we can not remove dead workers?  How was this not one of the first features ever added?

I know, right?

I have many emails back and forth with ghash. They always have something else to say thats more important. How hard could it be?

When I first started using ghash they would auto hide workers that had not been used in 3 or 4 days. Seems like a good enough way to do it but they removed that feature.



That was my biggest pet peeve when using this pool.

I feel like discus fish is the bigger threat at this point....
63  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: What PSU you use for your antminer S3? on: August 22, 2014, 02:06:52 PM
Get a 1500 watt psu and hook like 4 to it... Save a lot of space and trouble..

There are a lot of people who would never even be able to order a 1500W PSU due to it being out of stock or not even available in their area of the world.  It might be reasonable to get an 800W or 1200W and hook up 2 or 3 respectively, but 1500/1600W PSUs are sometimes hard to come by.
Besides the availability of such PSUs, the prices they command are unreasonable.  An EVGA 1300 G2 can be had for about $175 on Amazon.  The EVGA 1600W PSU is about $350.  I'm pretty sure I'd rather have 2 of the 1300W units for the same cost as one of the 1600W units.

Another thing to consider is the power from the wall.  If you're in the US and plugging it into your typical wall outlet, and there's nothing else at all on that circuit, you can pull a max constant load of 1440W before tripping your breaker (80% of 120V/15A), which renders the 1600W PSU a worthless investment.

You won't trip the breaker at 80% of max load.  The general rule is for continuous applications, like mining, is that the load is not to exceed 80% of the maximum.  Short term items like microwaves can still use the max for a couple of minutes without tripping.

1/3 to 1/2 the households have 20A wiring now, so the 1600W isolated is usable - of course you could always use 240V.
We're on the same page regarding the circuit load.  Pulling the full - or close to full - load from a circuit is certainly supported for "bursts".  The microwave is a good example of this kind of load - pulling a lot of power for short periods.  What is not supported is continued and constant draw over 80%.  Your mining gear is a good example of this kind of load.

240V is always a better option simply because higher volts means less amps for the same power requirements.  Your PSUs will be happier.

Meh, I mean the 1600w psu might be theoretically useless in that it would never be used to it's maximum output, but, by having that overhead efficiency would be higher? that's the only benefit.

I found a friend who doesn't pay for his power to host my S1  Grin

I don't know if the upgrade kit is worth it, being only marginally cheaper than the full deal.

Checking up, any bugs on the app? Haven't had time to do much work on it unfortunately

Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coniform.pbmin

Cool app, but is in official? Should I feel safe using it?


The app is secure. The only "insecure" input is your customer ID. But hey, anyone can put anyone's customer ID in if they want. There is NO password input. There is NO data tracking. The only analytics being run is google play's analytics, which every app has and there is no way to disable.  Undecided

The app is not official, but I have been in talks here and there with PB, we're looking at eventually getting an API system so you can create purchase requests via the app, but currently you'd be required to enter your password (which is why that version isn't public, since it is a security hole).

The solution is an API key. Which would be a great thing to have.

Hi
RPI ==> 8 blades

1 first version  2 fans  = 2 blades
2 Version 2   4 fans = 4 blades
3 mixed  2 fans + 2 fans + 2 fans + 2 fans  or 2f +4f + 2f  or 4f + 4

1 blade to 8 blades with 1 RPI

all configurations are always AM-V1, the board is te same



well the 2nd version, If i note correctly, the board is slightly smaller, so there was some question of if the GPIO would work interchangably. But thanks for clearing this up.

I had broke even overall, and then I just recently doubled up.

legitimacy  Huh

but the payouts keep coming.

Nobody's gotten the BE200's under 1w/gh, huh? This looks like a great miner - but power costs by me are just too high for anything less than ridiculous efficiency.

And what else can you go for which is in hand?

Well -  that's where it all falls down.

 I have an S3, but it looks like the lead times on those have gone way way up. Then theres the TH of existing BE200 equipment i have :-P

If I had any more amperage to give in my apt - this looks like a compelling product.

Well, mercifully they've extended the comment period. So at least there's that.

Here's a link to the firmware torrent I just uploaded on the bay! (it may take some time to propagate)
https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/10801861

Clocking to 340 has been looking pretty stable.



What's the poolside hashrate? I'm wondering if most of that isn't lost to HW errors. Also do you have a bead on power consumption?
72  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] cxboyminer BTC-Garden AM-v1 Setup Guide on: August 21, 2014, 01:56:08 PM
Is there any ability to under-clock these to get better efficiency?

Yes - I have mine clocked to 300, honestly the HW error rate is lower so it reduces power consumption and I honestly don't see a hashrate change poolside. But i might have unlucky units for HW errors? I never did seem to get over 600 poolside with two of the two board units no matter what clock I used.

Sounds okay. Send me your Bitcoins  Cool

Give me your address, please. Do you happen to offer Luck concentration services as well? We need some ASAP....

 Cry Cry Cry

Bah - 24 hour luck is still over 110%. I ain't fretting. Yet.

A step in the right direction on the regulation front that jeopardizes the pool:

The Bitcoin Foundation has convinced, at the very least the NYDFS to extend the comment period on it's proposed regulation. The spit may still hit the fan, but at least it's rate of approach has been slowed. Submit your comments folks.

Weird - my units get the same poolside hashrate of ~590 at 300mhz as they do at 310 but with lower power use. Anything I can do to improve this?

That little streak was a beautiful thing to wake up and see.

From the guides it looks like this miner's firmware only supports static IP addresses. Is this correct? Is it possible to use a DHCP address with the default firmware?



I think I remember the 7-19 firmware adds DHCP.

^got the miner.php working after about 10min of learning how to do some ssh (putty) codes.

im interested in overclocking, is there any particular hazards of going higher than 310? rockminer runs at 320, up to 350 with error rates not much higher

You're lucky, increasing speeds on mine does way more to drive up power consumption than it does to drive up poolside hashrate. The error rate doesn't go up much but "local rejects" sure does.
80  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: 24" PCI-E cables with 16AWG wires and 6" 18awg splitters - great for server PSU on: July 30, 2014, 01:57:26 PM
Honestly I'd like to see an 8pin EPS12v to 6pin PCIe adapter. I caniballized an EPS12v extender to attach leads from my R-Boxes but most of the hardware I'm ordering these days uses PCIe connectors, and most of these power supplies have 8pin 12v connector that I can't easily use.

I'm not sure how many others would be in the market for such, but I'd sure like to see it. Count me in for an order of at least two if you make them.

I have an MOQ much higher unfortunately, and cannot see a market for sales of a cable like this in quantities greater than 1-10. In comparison PCIe leads and splitters often sell in much higher quantities to dedicated miners for server gear conversion

No worries just thought I'd throw it out there. Might buy some of your bare ended cables and splice a few up myself if I wind up getting more s3's
