I use 256 and have no issues. They run nice. I am finishing a review on it now. So 1024 in the miner and on worker page of the pool guarantees no issues outside of a problem with the pool or the miner. That said, am I correct with the worker setting of 128 for my Prospector200 machine since the next jump up is 256 for 256Gh + ?
Yes, 1024 for a dragon is the recommended setting, and should guarantee proper results while mining without any weird stats popping up. I'm not familiar with the prospector 200, but if it's under 250 GH/s, then 128 is the recommended setting, yes. However, as far as I'm aware, the only ASIC where the setting *can* cause a problem is the Dragon Miners. Anything else is just a recommendation, it should have no material effects on other hardware. Hey Michael, Do you know if the BTCGarden machines have dif issues like the dragons ? |

That is a great idea. How did the conference go? Hello folks,
I have some rockminer t-shirts to give away from the Chicago conference.
If you've posted on this thread and would like one, please PM me. While supplies last.

It is all done using QR codes. Just like taking coins from a paper wallet with a QR code on it. You can send or receive them via that. The 2nd gen unit is ready and has addressed concerns brought up by the community. I will have one soon to review and give my findings on. More detailed this time. I don't see how you can send bitcoins without internet or something...

I can also vouch for it's legitamacy. I am in regular contact with Guy and Gadi of Spondoolies-Tech. They made sure to get it to Dogie first as he is the preeminent hardware person in the community. How can we legitimate this ? Any serial number that indicates this ?

So far no issues it connects fine. To test the proxy change your miner to connect to port 9334 instead of 9332.
A new test version of proxy is installed. If you try it and experience ANY problems please report them to me. Soon all miners will be forced to use proxy so it is better to try it now and make sure it works with your miner. It is very easy to try it. This is a important development to improve NastyPool. |

They will not fix that as it makes the gov and monopolistic utilities too much money. Do you happen to know the reason why all US is using stupid 120V circuits?
They've got Thomas Edison to thank for that. He wanted lots and lots and lots of local power stations all supplying low voltage DC, where as Westinghouse wanted big power stations delivering high voltage AC. But why? What could be the explanation? And why aren't they changing those rules that are over 100 years old? |

Eleuthria thanks for being so open about how and why you will react the way you will.
Can I ask if you will join others in the community in creating a response and responsible guidelines on how to regulate it?

Cool I will do it later. Thanks for the hard work nonnakip. I develop a proxy for NastyPool P2Pool node. The proxy will protect the P2Pool node against DOS attacks. Now I do tests. For my cgminer it looks good. But maybe other people can help test also?
To test the proxy change your miner to connect to port 9334 instead of 9332. Your miner should not notice any difference. If you do have any problems please report them and change your miner back to port 9332 until the problems are solved.

Hi Nate, That is great news. Minera is like MinePeon on roids. It am loving running it with my different miners. I have the Blizzards working great now and over clocked as well. Thanks for the hard work as always. I think nwools is going to try intensively Minera with fews hardware to test something, hope we can ask him his impressions and suggestions soon.
I will be putting Minera through the ringer and giving michelem feedback on any hardware that should work with BFGMiner but isn't. That said I cooked a Pi over the weekend (not the tasty kind and nothing to do with Minera) so I'll be waiting on a new Pi to arrive Monday before I can get going. |

I really hope it does not come to this. I appreciate your straight dealing with us all. So far it looks like many of the things that would mess with Bitcoin will not happen. Fingers crossed and we need to keep the community mobilized behind getting the proposal changed. So you are saying we should be ready for you to shut down without notice or be blocked based on the state we are in??
I understand not wanting to take the risk I am not belittling that at all. I just want to have an idea what we need to plan for?
The proposal will not stand as is. It has already been pointed out that it violates federal privacy laws and interstate commerce laws.
There is a 45 day period before the regulations would go into effect, and that doesn't begin until after they are finalized (which is after a 45+ day comment period and then a revision period). If they come into effect and still have wording which is absolutely applicable to pools, then the pool will begin shutting down and cease to exist at the end of that 45 day grace period. At this point, I don't believe what exists currently will pass, but that doesn't mean what does come out won't still be applicable to pools in some way which makes it too risky to continue operating. The reason for that post is that under those circumstances, the 3-month closure period identified in the 2nd post of this thread and in the FAQ on the website will be reduced from 90 days to 45 days in order to cease operations prior to the regulation going into effect. |

I will test it out. Thanks for the info back. HI Foz I have seen this before. The way I got rid of it was to make sure that extra Gridseed miner that shows up in the miner window to uncheck it. For some reason it is the gridseed SHA-256 mining part of the Gridseed miner. It always hoses up my Zeus Miners and my GPU's when auto coin switching. I hope this helps for you too. Can anyone duplicate this possible bug?
I am currently running two gridseed orbs and one fury/zeusminer.
They all work fine in mm until I try to use the Strategy to automatically mine coins.
When I have the Strategy to automatically mine coins checked, it tries to force the zeusminer to mine sha256 coins. The gridseeds correctly mine scrypt but the zeusminer shuts down after it figures it cant mine sha256.
Anyone else see this issue?
Hey Mane Nate has a fix up for the zeusminer sha256 issue with coin switching. Let us know if it helps you out. https://github.com/nwoolls/MultiMiner/issues/138#issuecomment-49516403 |

Cool deal. Thanks for the work on this and all your printing I appreciate it. Hi, I hope all is well. Any news on the RPi case with the fan?
I am looking forward to them.
Just got my fan yesterday but I may have purchased too small of a fan...this thing measures 17mm x 17mm x 8mm but spins @11k rpm, so maybe it will suffice. I went with a fan that was readily available and fairly low price but also had good reviews for reliability etc. I will be posting some pics up tonight/tomorrow after I test the fan some. |

So you are saying we should be ready for you to shut down without notice or be blocked based on the state we are in?? I understand not wanting to take the risk I am not belittling that at all. I just want to have an idea what we need to plan for? The proposal will not stand as is. It has already been pointed out that it violates federal privacy laws and interstate commerce laws. And so it begins. New York regulators are now proposing things which would make it essentially illegal for anybody to use Bitcoin in that state without being registered. It is so over-reaching that it would even catch things like the Bitcoin tipbot on reddit, which would be an illegally operating entity if it allows you to tip a New York resident. http://www.dfs.ny.gov/about/press2014/pr1407171-vc.pdf I've read several articles about this proposal and most of them seem to give the same quote, that merchant and consumers using bitcoin strictly for the sale of Goods and Services are exempt. I view the fact that you collect a 2% fee for providing me the service of access to bitcoin mining software and a service of reasonable security protection from online attackers, makes you a simple merchant and 'us' the consumers of your service. Therefore "We" are not subject to the SDN verification as well as State Licensing. Though you may want to tweak the support page to make it clear 'You are only providing a Service and are not a Bank, Loan Agent, or Monetary Transfer Provider'. The problem is it isn't worth the risk to be operating in the grey area of how it's interpreted. Prosecutors will always have the upper hand on that one, especially when they have could throw enough prosecutors/lawyers with a combined annual salary higher than the gross income received from the pool in its lifetime. |

I have no Casascius coins other than the one I got from you. LOL I do not blame you with the BTC though. I wish I had it. I cannot afford that but do you have things in mind you would accept in trade??
This is one of the things I always wanted to invest in.
I'd be interested in brass Casascius coins from 2012 & 2013. I really want BTC though. |

I did not have that happen yet. Thanks for the heads up. I will monitor it. Still running great though right now. Update. I got it fixed. Simple removal of the --scrypt it was redundant with the check box in the settings page. I have DL'd the image and it setup with ease. My problem is I cannot get any Blizzards or Zeus chip based miners to run on it. I have tried a Black Widow, Falcon and 3 Blizzards. Here is my Blizzard argument. --scrypt --zeus-chips 6 --zeus-clock 328 --scan-serial zeus:auto --nocheck-golden One of the Blizzards is batch 1 so I use the nocheck-golden. I cannot even get a single one to start hashing. I have used two hubs that run on my other Pi's with MinePeon and they run with the ZeusMiner Pi image. I have tried the Dmax Zeus fork and even tried BFG which works fine on MinePeon. I really like the dashboard on Minera I would love to get the Blizzards running on it. Can anyone help me?? I have scrypt enabled and everything I have seen in this thread. Thanks again. I have the same issue with my Blizzards. Another thing with the newest version is that it forgets the settings, forgets the new pools I have typed in and saved of course. |

They are great coins. I have two and love them. The tip jar address is a cool idea too. am thinking of getting one... might use the address for a public tip jar, too... anything else where I might get some surprise income that I wasn't planning on getting...

Great news Nate. Thanks for the hard work as always. Thanks for the help there. Hi Nwoolls. I applied the bfgminer v4.4.0 from your branch. Thanks for the assist on that. But, (there's always a but) I still I have no change. I'd stick with v4.4 for now. There are a couple of things I am looking at. Another user alerted me to an issue that, while rare, can cause hangs with a GridSeed depending on the speed of the device and amount of work being sent to it (easier to see with G-Blades and P2Pool). That is only in the changes after v4.4. I have a fix for that along with a planned fix for another hang for the GridSeed devices. I've talked to the maintainer of one of the CPUMiner forks for GridSeed and he's suggested a fix that I'll be testing. |
