Ok, thanks. Do you think I could still mine litecoin or other low difficulty ones??
Yes, most of of the altcoins are viable with GPU mining. Allthough that may change later this year when the ASIC's come out for SCRYPT based coins. |

How long does it usually take for a block to get solved in slush's pool?
At this difficulty, a few a day. Go to the Statistics page at slushes pool to see found blocks. The last block took 4,067,397,930 shares to find. A 1759 share contribution is very small percentage of the total shares. (0.0000432%) May I ask, what hash rate are you contributing to the pool? Your hash rate will have to be measured in the GH/s to see any rewards. At the current difficulty, a 2.8 GH/s rate will see about 0.0008 BTC a day in rewards. EDIT: Oh I just noticed... GUIMINER!! LOL are you trying to mine with your CPU? If so, you are burning more in electricity than what you can mine with that program. The difficulty has exceeded the capability of CPU mining. (and GPU for the most part) You may want to try your luck at mining altcoins. |

Only 1759 shares? Your pool contribution is probably below the threshold for payouts, or the pool has not solved any blocks since you started mining. Probably have to see contribution in the tens of thousands to see any rewards.  |

Hello,
I'm REALLY new at this. I'm running GUIMiner x 3 and have pulled up, between these 3, 11 shares in about a week's time, off and on. (Two of them are part of the "Slush's Pool.") I also has a previous GUIMiner that pulled up an additional 2 (if my memory serves me correctly) about two weeks ago. My wallet remains empty, however.
At what point will my wallet begin reflecting my progress? I know the pool will take some of the shares, but shouldn't I begin to reflect something?
Thank you for any assistance you can give with this.
You sure you have the pool payout address set to your personal wallet address? What is the payout threshold setting on your pool account? Have you exceeded that setting yet? You should be showing a positive balance or payout amount on your pool account "dashboard". Also, the pool must solve a block for you to get paid, unless you are running PPS ( pay per share) on the pool. |

How do U change the IP address on the antminer 180gh. Both mine have the same ip setup
Ummm why don't you read the first post in this thread? It explains that very thing step by step. If you still have questions after reading that, then you may get some help. ;-) |

Anyone think it is ok to run the whole antminer off one PCI-E cable? I ordered a power supply I thought was coming with two PCI-E cables, but it just has 1 with two PCI-E connectors on it. Don't want to melt the cable...
Anyone suggest a decent cheap 80 plus Bronze or better PSU with two PCI-E cables?
1 PCI-E cable is just fine. I have 4 miners running for over a month each on a single pci-e rail. Alternatively you can power each blade with its own PSU. It draws even less W that way and you can go pretty cheap. Bad advice if the wires are anything less than 8 gauge. At default clock you are pulling about 30 amps minimum over the PCI-e cable. If he has a cheap-ass cable and connectors, could be disaster. |

I figure something like that as well  maybe one can add some additional fans simply. If I look at 7950s with 2 or 3 fans, the casing is pretty open. water-cooling is a no-brainer, price aside... Yes, I was able to improve cooling tremendously by just placing a couple 120mm fans blowing directly onto my GPU's. There was so much heat generated by the GPUS, there was in issue obtaining "cooler" air from the room into the case. |

Hello, all.
I have a bitcoin blade running a single blade working great, however when I plug a new blade into the backplane both blades stop working, I have a single lan wire, for the first blade so I just spliced another cable onto the original cable and it stopped working although the splices work each with their individual blades but not together, do I need some sort of Ethernet box to do the connecting.? If I do what would you recommend for me to connect 2 blades together both 10+ Gh/S.
Thank you for your time.
Ethernet communication cables are not at all similar to power cables. Each ethernet cable needs to have its own dedicated port into a network switch port. The network switch will then plug into your WAN device that is typically provided by your internet supplier. http://0.tqn.com/d/compnetworking/1/0/c/c/two-router-network.pngI would like to see a picture of your splicing job. Those wires are tiny! ;-P |

Do you know what the command node do?
I am not familiar with a bash command node, but I have heard about this node.. ... http://nodejs.org/ |

Bkkcoins work has not only helped this community, but his BOM and PCB have been adapted and copied many times. The Kondike has served as the basis for Technobit's miners, as well as a template probably for potential Litecoin mining ASIC pcb's as well, and who knows what other inspirations and technological innovations.
Accidents happen, and nothing is perfect. People lose bitcoins all the time, and they live through it, without brain damage.
That is not the case for real life accidents. I appreciate what he has done to a tremendous degree, however it doesn't make it right for him to ignore his debts. I won't accept the not-small amount Chris owes me as some sort of collateral damage for the good of the greater mining community. That's ridiculous. Same here, I appreciate Chris work however i've paid for goods which I never received so how can anybody justify it with this greater good crap? +1 My messages gone unanswered. I too am out almost 2 BTC. No response.  |

Received my new 1/2 kit yesterday and got it working today. My first one is a v1 with 16 boards at 460 Gh/s. It has one bad port and some of the boards are EOL's that don't hash much.
But this new kit out of the box is going 240 Gh/s. No tuning or anything. So once I set up decent cooling I should be able to get 300 Gh/s out of it.
Has anyone heard from Spotwood??? I sent him an email and posted on his thread that I wanted a new case. But it's been days with no reply.
Might want to send him another email. I know he has an 11 week backorder on cases. So I assume he is busy in his shop. ;-) |

Didn't buy much, just some bath towels and a toaster over I am planning to turn into a reflow oven. Most of the item on there seemed to be of low quality but, there were some gems if you searched a while. I think if Amazon starts accepting BTC, I'll need to start mining again. ;-)

Thanks for taking the time to give us your insights. Very interesting.  |

OMG! LOL thats a lot of bitcoins. Kind of risky though to hold 400k coins in one wallet. Hope they dont lose the keys.  |

Fireduck, what happened with my 0.49070038 PPLNS Share? Since last block found (26 Dec) I contribute with a lot of GH/s. I think you should keep mining alone and distribute the award when you find the block.
Thank you!
Yeah we all contributed lots of GH/s since the last found block. But this is not a PPS pool. The problem is that the difficulty is so high and the hash rate of the pool could not keep up with the difficulty. Too much variance was killing the return. Your PPLNS work is lost, move on. ;-( |

Sad to see it go  Yeah, me too. I didn't expect it to be even this successful. I don't know what I am going to look at all day now. I should note that carefully shutting down something you have spent so long building is like strangling a kitten with your bare hands. I'm having the last node refuse connections for one hour to help people figure out something is wrong. After that, I'm going to bring up a p2pool node with a payout address of Sean's Outpost. http://stratum.hhtt.1209k.com:9332/static/Thanks for your effort in hosting and running the pool. It was a good run and I believe it to be one of the most stable pools out there. Good luck with your future plans, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Cheers! |

4 days for last block.. i guess we need something more .. lucky?
Only 22291.381 GH/s on HHTT. "Luck" as you call it will increase with more hashing power. ;-) |

Hi guys, I received my Cube an hour ago. Had my power supply ready to boot it up. When I boot it up, a few seconds later, it produce a "click" sound then turn itself off along with the power supply. Tried it couple times but no luck. I am using a Corsair CX430M power supply. It only has 1 PCI-E connector, so I use another 2x molex to PCI-E connector. I also try with another 2x molex and 1x molex but still... To me it seems like the power supply problem. Any advice would gladly appreciated. Here is the link to the power supply at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139049&Tpk=cx430mThe startup load is triggering your overload protection circuit on your Power supply. Its not really overloaded , probably just a spike as the ASIC's are powered up. If your cube has been sitting in the cold, make sure they warm up to room temperature and try powering on a few times, you might get lucky. I had the same issue and had to get a larger power supply. After I had gotten a new power supply, I also seen a workaround to install a capacitor at the molex plug. Search Dogies cube setup thread for more information on that. Cheers |

dang, i'm glad i requested my miners to be shipped as is once the option was available. If I was still waiting on refunds of any kind at this point I would be livid.
Yea, I've had $270 assembly/shipping costs tied up in this since June. Kind of a bitch. 9btc in Batch 6 assembly. what a waste of BTC. I am very disappointed not having a hint of a refund months later. A scammer rating in the works for SB from me.  |

i really think that q1 of 2014, we'll start to see the propagation of hashrate start stabilizing.
Never underestimate the power of greed. If you listen to some of the talks at the Bitcoin conference. This latest round of ASIC's is just the tip of the iceberg. China is just starting to ramp up its production of cheap ASIC miners for the masses. Also Litecoin ASIC's are just around the corner. If anyting, the 4 PH/s jump we have seen in the last 3 weeks is just the beginning. |
