Don't forget the episode where the previous pool op used people's hashes without their knowledge to kill off an altcoin chain.

BULL!
Y'all aren't trying hard enough.
What about using it for a gambling pool having the miners provide random numbers
What about writing a program that uses it to encrypt/decrypt files on your computer.
What about e-mail decryption?
How about using it to store information on a blockchain of a new coin that can be used for information storage?
There ARE ways of using it, people just haven't tried hard enough. Already asicminers are $20 and heading lower, so let's put our heads together and figure out a way.
It can't do any of those.

It makes no difference in the end. It averages out to the same. The only thing I'd recommend is not mining at ghash.io

Yep, that's what obfuscation of the real facts when there was meant to be meaningful debate over the protocols will do. Long after the truth is out, people have forgotten the details and go back to the original claims and believe them.

Normal. It rejects as many effective shares as it would have accepted had the shares been acceptable, which is based on diff.

Hi Rebecca
Nice to see a(n alleged) female posting an announcement for new ASIC hardware. I should warn you that even though you (may) have a vagina, the forum members will prefer to fuck you up the arse regardless for trying to scam them.
Cheers.

Yes definitely trust the supporting post from the brand new forum member with precisely one post extolling their virtues and how it's 100% not a scam.
So far following suit with the standard protocol for a scam. Keep up the good work ntek.

Mining whatever cryptocurrencies require sha256(sha256()) and nothing else. They cannot do anything else. Period.

ASICs by their very nature of being ASICs cannot be used for anything else bar 4 special uses: Doorstop, boat anchor, book end and paperweight. Though some are too light for even those uses.

Doesn't change the fact you're in the wrong forum section.

There are many USB3 devices that the RPi simply doesn't support because it doesn't have kernel drivers for most USB3 hubs even before you've connected any devices to them. This is not universal and can be worked around by chaining through a usb2 hub sometimes, but don't buy USB3 hubs blindly for RPi.

Yes, btcguild is a separate bug, sorry. BTCguild is the only pool that uses the redirect feature in stratum which was added blindly a long time ago when stratum support was first added and no pool used it. Cgminer's implementation is unfortunately buggy and the only workaround till I can fix it is to connect directly to btcguild's redirected url directly or use a different pool to avoid the crash.
I hope you figure this out quickly ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) . I thought this was a hardware issue when I first saw this since my drillbit devices were that last thing to show errors before windows tried to close it. I need's my btcGuild. Been looking into it. I was unable to reproduce this at all locally so perhaps it's better or perhaps I just don't have the right combo of hashrate and circumstances. I've done some generic changes to make it more robust. There may well be a second issue with btcg related to the frequent restarts it's had lately but I have no firm leads on that.

cgminer does not mine bitcoins with GPUs any more.

I'm having an interesting problem with one of these sticks. I had a DOA that when it arrive reported a temperature of 20C and did nothing, usually you plug these in and they report 50C before they start hashing. Sent it back and the replacement came and reports temperature as 100C before it begins hashing.
This has not been a problem as i have used the temp cut off option in cgminer to stop it throttling as they are all under cooling and never reach more then 55C. However now it is showing no more then 1.7GHs with cg miner started with cgminer.exe --drillbit-options ext:230:1:950 --temp-cutoff 110 on 3.10.0. Running on a USB3 hub and nothing has changed.
I am guessing i have had a chip go bad but thought i would post in case CGminer preemptively cuts off before the 110 limit, i have tried the different firmwares but get the same result. Anyone know what these use as a temperature sensor? and if there is a way to trick it back to normal range(i suspect my DOA was returned with a tricked temp sensor)?
Upgrade to the latest firmware. cgminer also supports a target temperature for these: --bxf-temp-target <arg> Set target temperature for BXF devices (default: 82) It does not cut off, it throttles to the slowest possible speed if it's over the range.

Speed for 55nm chips should be 1500 and you should have firmware that shows the 55/110nm option so something's horribly wrong with your setup if you're running firmware not designed for it at speeds it doesn't support.

Only random viruses and trojans will make this sort of horse shit claim.

Sounds like the solution for those having cgminer crashes is to downgrade to a non 3.10 version. Quite curious what the hell he did to break such a basic feature that has been working flawlessly for the last 6 months.
EDIT: You can connect to 'cgminer.btcguild.com:3333' as a temporary workaround. This server may disappear with little (or even 0) notice once the bug is known to be fixed.
You didn't read the quote. It's been broken forever. Then it must be extremely rare, because I haven't seen any reports about it causing segfaults until 3.10. The changes on it in 3.10 was my half arsed attempt to fix it when I was heading out to go overseas with little time to spare for it.
