Sorry for the delay.
When I got home from my surgery friday my coins were waiting for me.
They look great and the hologram is nicely detailed.
I am still kind of out of it but I will post pictures later this week when I get feeling better.
Thanks for doing such a great job.

Thats great news. Now I hope it follows to the rest of the country. AB 129 passed, which repealed the prohibition on alternative currencies in California.
This is a good thing. I'm in California, and my legal advisors had advised that I not make too much trouble whilst this is progressing through the political pipeline.
The result is that Bitcoin, and Bitcoin Specie are both lawful money. This is not LEGAL TENDER, which in my opinion is a good thing that it isn't.
The Legal Tender law is the one that FORCES someone to accept a currency in payment for a debt owed. This is what allows someone who accepts a bitcoin payment to refund the money in something else, because of the Legal Tender law.
Lawful Money on the other hand simply means that it is OK to voluntarily trade using that currency. The law can not prevent it. I think that this suits Bitcoin much more as a designation than Legal Tender which uses state power to cram it down throats. The Legal Tender laws were created to give some value to valueless currencies and Bitcoin nor Bitcoin Specie need such a crutch.
So, what does this mean..
It means we are BACK IN BUSINESS.
And that means it is time to have a Sale. Or several of them. Lets get the party going!!!

That looks great. Things are growing fast now. Naypalm has been generous enough to create the below NastyFans Coin Analyzer. I've submitted an iOS App for it that should be available next week as well. Happy 4th! |

If your pool supports VarDiff you can adjust it to get fewer discards and better rate. Your pool will have instructions on how to do it. On the BW I would start with 1024 and work your way around a few with a test of at least 6 hrs each one to see which works best for you. I got a BW today and tried to hook it up to a PC where I already have a Fury running but it just would not install the drivers correctly. I plugged it into the new Zen I got for it and wow, it actually worked. About 50% discards... but it works.

No Limits I just purchased 2 through 112bit. I hope this helps.  Question . Are we supposed to buy this through bitmaintech even though you have a buy button in 112bit.com ? At least your page has a limit of one for now.
I'm more happy at least that the comments state I only need 2 pci express plugs to run properly without overclocking.

Remember to keep them cool if you are overclocking. What pool are you mining on? Some support it through an addition to your login others have a worker panel that you set it with. Here is a list of VarDiff pools that link out to them with instructions for each site. Test your miner with different settings that they have and see how it goes. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=645532.0Someone at this forum said it damages, so I was worried.  If it doesn't, then I'll surely try to OC a bit.  Can you tell me how to set the diff in MM, dunno that.  Thanks P.S. MY ultimate goal is to reach 6MH/s with my G-Blade, not much. I don't think it damages the device it just causes you to get fewer shares accepted. If you are doing great at 800 keep it there. That is great. Thanks for your input, ManeBjorn. Yes, I tried this, but got like 35+ HW, with hashrate around 2.8MH/s. Thought I was damaging the device, so switched it to 800 and now it get 0 HW's @ 2.6MH/s. Having so many HW's surely damages the device, isn't it? You ain't getting any? As well as what command line is used to set the difficulty in MM?? Thanks Hi sorry for the delay in getting back to you. --set-device gridseed:clock=838 That is the sweet spot and I normally get 2.6 mh/s to 2.8 mh/s. One thing that it may be is the Diff setting at the pool. Which pool are you using you may be on a VarDiff pool and can adjust it. I found with the newer version of BFGMiner that 512 Diff seems to work the best. You can always go back to the older version of BFG if you need to that worked best for you. Just remove the BFG folder in the Miners folder in the MultiMiner folder. Then copy in the version you want. Just remember to not upgrade when prompted after that point unless you want to try a newer version. If I remember correctly there was a bunch of info on running your blades with MM. They were back in the page 120 to 139 range in this thread. I do not have one setup in MM currently but with the current version of MM comes with the current version of BFGMiner and it is fully compatible. I will re-setup a Blade tomorrow afternoon and post my arguments for you to check out. But in the meantime check back in the above page range there were some arguments and they were what I used for a base. Hi, is there any guide(working) available on how to setup your G-Blade with MM? I've been reading and searching around, somewhere someone reports something and somewhere the other thing - with one single, same device that most of the people are using. Hence not able to gather it up altogether. I'll be getting my very first ASIC on coming Wednesday, so don't have any pre-experience on setting it up. Any help/suggestion on how to set the G-Blade with MM is very much appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. G-Blade doesn't works with SGMiner? Works stable with latest BFGMiner?
Help Please(!) - My G-Blade has already arrived - Before I put it to work, I NEED to know the best or at least properly working configuration for this device, so that I don't damage it - Earlier my question got ignored(even messaged Nate, but he's on vacation, I heard) - So please-please help. Many many thanks in advance. P.S. I'm mainly want to know the list of "arguments" used to operate this device. What is necessary and what's not to be included in the configuration file. Thanks Thanks a lot, ManeBjorn! Glad someone is ready to help me out. I'm going through those pages you mentioned, but so far didn't found something related to my issue(will continue till the last page though). Started one of blades,with "arguments" as: --set-device gridseed:clock=838(then 850, 870 and max. 900 - with all three values miner is reported DEAD!  ), but have only reached 2.1MH/s hardly!! , really worried now. Closed the miner and started to search again, as I'm scared that with wrong or vague arguments I might damage the device. Will be also waiting for your tested configuration. Thanks P.S. Btw I observed one strange thing in this short period - I had BFGMiner 3.10.0 installed and I never updated it as I didn't use it - with this version I achieved like 2.87MH/s also, thinking that after upgrade I'll get much more hashrate - so I updated to 4.2.0, but to my surprise I only got like 1.8MH/s-2.1MH/s - I'm really worried now.  |

Give it at least an hour to come up to speed at the pool. how long it takes to update in website ?
i just started and it shows 800 shares in bfgminer but nothing in website

I know they are working to make sure they can meet the huge demand that is going to happen as soon as they open sales. You are right the wait though is rough. My big problem is this delay. I feel a lot like it is a Beanie Baby type sales strategy

The correct answer is to hell with it all and lets just eat them. http://www.amazon.com/ThinkGeek-Thinkgeek-Canned-Unicorn-Meat/dp/B004CRYE2CNow who would love some Unicorn meat? Does anyone know where to get Leprechaun meat to go with it? No he should not. There is no reason for him to do so. Would you pay him if he did and what would you pay him with? he said he asked himself…well here goes…How much wood could a Woodchuck chuck if a Woodchuck could chuck wood? (there is a correct answer)
But should a woodchuck chuck wood, even if it could and would? You're nuts? What's the exchange rate between unicorns and leprechauns? Are unicorns and leprechauns not sold by the pound? I haven't ever tried to purchase one, have you? The correct answer to the OP is: A Woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a Woodchuck could chuck if a Woodchuck could chuck wood. If you combine leprechauns, unicorns and woodchucks, divide it buy the amount of wood the woodchuck chucked and multiply that by the exchange rate of nuts for the unicorns and leprechauns. Isn't the answer obvious? |

True GAW is $699 for a full kit with a Pi. The only thing needed is a PSU. Not a bad deal. I am looking forward to the Rocket Box. Did you find a way to clean up the cabling a bit? That is the only drawback I can see so far. Also on your PSU setup do yours connect via a breakout board or directly into the PSU? I noticed today that GAWminers is now selling the Rocket Box on their site for $699.95 with a ship date of July 7th. I don't see them listed on the rockminer agent list though. I'm considering buying one since I have $250 credit with GAW; yes, no? I've purchased a Black Widow from GAW before, I'm wondering if that's worth buying or waiting on the S3 price.
thank you, kiss kiss
so 350 net? that is pretty good for 450gh. do you have a psu that will power it? do you have a decent usb hub? If yes to those questions I would do it. Gawminers still allows cc to pay so you have a nice safe order. I did the above with my 250 credit but I got an s-1 about 2 weeks ago. it was 300 -250 = 50 bucks net. I sold it on ebay for 350 as I included a psu and a second fan. nah i think it is 699 for 1 rocket box but still pretty decent. |

Good to know. I run them on a 850 Watt PSU. 290 runs well for me. I will push them further if I can. That is good to see. I did not have any problem with BFG but I have been using MultiMiner to better control them all. It uses BFG so it rocks. I am going to push the clock up a bit now. Have you pushed above 290?? Just wanted to add my experiences getting my Rockminer going. BFGminer wouldn't detect it automatically, no matter what I did. Finally I added the device manually with \\.\COM6 (which is where Windows said it was), and it worked. I'm using BFGminer 4.2.0 (this is the correct one to use with Rockminer, yes?).
The only issue now is that it's hashing at 26Gh/s, not 32-36Gh/s. Does it need to be overclocked to achieve 36? Its clock speed is 270, according to BFGminer.
Edit: this is interesting. Looking at the speeds of the individual chips, one is doing 8Gh/s but the other three are doing 6. If they were all doing 8, that would indeed add up to 32.
Edit2: adding set rockminer:clock=290 did two things for me. One, BFG is now recognizing the miners on startup, which is odd but true. Two, they're now doing 32-35Gh/s. So all is well. I don't understand the reasons, but rockminer:clock=290 fixed everything.
I tried 295 and 300 awhile back but didn't get any good results. |

That could be cool for sure if the controller supports it. Low power and more hash rate. Great idea. I don't see how upgrading an S1 would be cost effective. I guess it depends on the chip cost and work required to replace the existing chips vs selling the S1.
you would not replace the chips - you would replace the two PCBs and keep the fan/frame/heatsink. Its not viable until the S1 is worthless (another 2 months if you undervolt or have cheap power), but would save about $20 in raw materials ($7 fan, $13 aluminum), maybe $5 worth of assembly time, and about $40-60 on shipping. Overall it would be a savings for bitmain of about $60-80 and probably passed on to buyers as a $40-60 discount over an assembled S3. IT would be cool it the upgrade was a new controller and two new s3 boards with the controller able to control all four boards. 2 x s1 boards undervolted and underclocked plus two s3 board. giving you around 600-700gh/s@approximately 600watts won't be that. it will be 2 pcb boards no more no less. pull the heat sink and run. but if you buy a kit and use a board on one s-1 and the second board on a second s-1 it may be a better move. the 2 underclocked pair of s-1s at 140 gh each and 180 gh watts . = 280gh and 360 watts 1.28 watts a gh become 320gh and 285 watts each . or 640gh and 570 watts .89 watts a gh you only buy 1 kit not 2 kits A pretty good boost for ? 500? I have 3 s-1's running in a low cost spot if this works it is cheaper then any option especially if I can sell the 2 pulled boards on ebay. my spot is using 3 units at 420gh and 560 watts. the one kit would jump me to 780gh and 750 watts. I could do that same sound not louder big hash boost to keep up. Waiting for a kit price. Hey everyone buy those s-2 out now! |

Now that would be kick ass. I cannot wait for the specifics to be available. I don't see how upgrading an S1 would be cost effective. I guess it depends on the chip cost and work required to replace the existing chips vs selling the S1.

Which RPi GUI image do you recommend the most? I love BFGMiner but I want a Pi image I do not have to compile and mess around with that I can still overclock and such. I need this to give a miner to a friend who is not technically inclined at all. Any suggestion out of everything here? I would just give him a ZenOS controller but I want it to be independent so he can learn as opposed to just clicking. Thanks again for the great work. I use your BFG release with MultiMiner. So sweet. I'm using dmaxls beta 2 and am getting 1.68mhs on nicehash (381mhz clock).
more interesting would be what you get on pool side. The miner/GUI can talk much but the accepted hares are counting  |

No he should not. There is no reason for him to do so. Would you pay him if he did and what would you pay him with? he said he asked himself…well here goes…How much wood could a Woodchuck chuck if a Woodchuck could chuck wood? (there is a correct answer)
But should a woodchuck chuck wood, even if it could and would? |
