Hello, guys!
Could anyone tell me the dimensions of the S5's hashboard and it's radiator?
Length x Width x Height.
with out measuring it looks the same as a S3 and the S1 (if you have either of those) |
|
|
|
Anyone put a S5 in an S3 case (with the top) and then see how well a push/pull dual fan setup works?
not much improvement in fact a bit worse ,, I have settled with 1 delta as a push and a 367 freq. If I want to I can get freq 412 and 1331 gh but too many fans to do it. I have noticed on my S5's that I can get a small amount of lower temp ( maybe a degree or 2) if I leave a small amount of opening about 3/4" on the bottom of the miner on the push fan side when using a piece of hard plastic that I have the miner sitting on. I have not checked it but am thinking it draws air in thru that opening than just having the whole bottom closed. I also have the miner sitting up off the basement floor a couple of inches. |

 ... I do address and answer questions... to pool users... via email newsletters. The little time I do manage to have I reserve for the pool users that want to see it stick around. Everyone has their reasons for mining here. I will publish a statement soon addressing some issues and concerns here. It's just a simple matter of providing more information. There are plenty of us that want the pool to stay around but such a simple thing as a statement or email would go a long way. I know your a good guy and I have defended you and this pool against unjustified BS many times, but the pool has strayed from some of the basic points that you founded it on and it would just help if you had made it clear how certain things are handled going forward. There are a lot of miners that dont find IRC chat the best for getting information. I hope this helps some. |

I've earned 0.00071229 in 30 minutes. On slush I get approx. 0.008 per block. At this rate it will take approx. 5.5 hours to earn 0.008btc However. By entering the last 10 block durations at http://www.csgnetwork.com/timescalc.html it gives an average duration of 5 hours 24 minutes. 10 previous was average 5 hours 16 minutes. So, no real difference there. Might go looking at some other pools to compare. Unless some pool gets super lucky BAN pays the best because it is PPS with no fees and 1% bonus. Except when they don't pay or they reduce your payout PPS rate because they feel like paying you less than they should  did you submit a ticket? there are quite a few on this very forum who have submitted a ticket and got paid. so, did you submit a ticket? I have always gotten what I thought I had coming, the problem is once I just happened to be on IRC chat when a problem was talked about and I had to sumit a ticket to get paid, which I didn't catch on my own. So it makes me wonder how many times I didn't catch something, which never crossed my mind until the lowered amounts in people's accounts because of the diff change that happened to everyone and they should not have to beg to be paid the right amount. This happened to all so the pool should go back and pay all the miners not just the ones that sumit a ticket. EdIt: If the pool wants to be 100% transparent then an email should have been sent out to all miners explaining what happened and what the pool was going to do to make all miners 100% whole not just the ones that sumitted tickets. now this is a good point. This is why we log every share ever submitted to have the opportunity to go back and rectify an errors. We now tag the shares with the network diff they were submitted at so it doesn't happen again. It's been fixed. When the difficulty dropped I did pay the higher PPS rate. I think only one person noticed that. I get this exact same thing at work. Staff are quick to notice is their cheque is missing hours but apparently I've never gave them extra hours. sobr thank you for the update. Its not the miners fault they were not paid on time and it should not be up to the miners to track to make sure the pay is correct one way or the other. This is where the pool should be trustworthy, and someone (most likely one of the larger miners) seen their pending payout go down after the difficulty change. I would think its an easy thing to miss if the pending payout goes UP as that's is what most miners would expect to see their pending go up but never down without being paid. If after you check the log and find you have over paid me at any time please let me know and I will gladly refund you any amount I owe. |

Been with BAN since the day I started mining. Payments relatively regularly, no fee.
All I see is a couple specific accounts going to the end of the world to spread lies and bash this pool.
Maybe the bashers have a vested interest in another competing pool and want to sway hashrate away from their competition.
Troll Shills maybe?
Maybe some do and then some just like to follow others but then some have no hate for this pool other than to expect things to be ran right. |

I moved this here from the Slush thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1976.msg10481828#msg10481828I've earned 0.00071229 in 30 minutes. On slush I get approx. 0.008 per block.

Well my experiment is done. Payout was prompt. Earning were no different to slush really but is a close 2nd.
I too have been experimenting with the payouts of a few pools, mainly Slush vs BTC Guild but also to a lesser extent with Eligius, I have dabbled with a few others but will not present those numbers at this time. In October last year, I ran all 3 guilds at the same time and when the results are scaled to make sure they all received equal hash power, I find that I have a reward ratio of 5.28:4.37:3.68 (Slush:BTC Guild:Eligius) Since then I have been only running Slush vs BTC Guild (lthough I tracked Eligius blocks to get a longer comparison) and in the last 106 days, Slush has earned more than BTC Guild on 64 days, with BTC doing better on 42 days - although by the end of today I suspect that will be 43 to BTC Guild. In terms of earnings, this a ratio of 1:0.82 (Slush:BTC Guild) - in other words, what ever your hash power, for every £1 you could generate at Slush, the same hash power would yield £0.82 at the BTC Guild. We all hate the 1 day+ blocks and whilst I can see a correlation between pool hash power and no. blocks found, I cannot see any real correlation between pool hash power and average reward over time since as the power goes up, the blocks go up but the reward per block goes down. Notice I did not say anything about luck since over the last 3 months, the average number of blocks per day has remained fairly constant (4.8/day for Slush and 6.3/day for BTC Guild) so has our luck - around 100%. If anyone is interested, we are currently on 5.2/day for February as confirmed by the 7 day luck value. Basically, I have a monster spreadsheet of figures, month-by-month, pool-by-pool, block-by-block and there is nothing strange going on anywhere that I can see (except my love of spreadsheets maybe  ), so can we please stop with the conspiracy theories about our hash power of 10Ph, because they are ridiculous and I hate reading through them to get to the more interesting posts! We have had 10 blocks in a day at 8Ph and also at 12Ph but it all averages out in the end folks. In conclusion, I have been with Slush for coming up to 2 years and have yet to find a better paying pool. Cheers n beers for all HP Left Slush over a year ago when payments would not get fixed and got shorted on a few ( but in fairness there was once I received more than my fair share) then the pool hash rate dropped which made the variance get bigger so I left. I move a couple of miners back a couple days ago to give the pool another try. I like the new dashboard and it still shows the one and only block my USB miners found. Found Blocks 239418 |

And another. Poor Kano who's at his brother's funeral will at least get some joy when he returns home I am 58 my big bro is 62 and my baby bro is 53. Baby brother is 53. Damn where does the time go. I know it would be painful to lose my brothers or my wife. I do hope that Kano is able to find some solace in the fact that people care about him and appreciate the work ethic that he has. Phil we are the same age and I can relate to what you wrote. I have loss a couple very close people the last year and it makes a person stop and think just whats important. Kano I am sorry for your loss but would like to thank you and ckolivas for running a great pool. |

Forum Moderators: please lock this thread. I also suggest that unless BAN are prepared to actually communicate with their ripped-off miners, they should be banned from opening yet another useless thread in the future.
We wouldn't lock the thread for that reason alone as the ability to discuss the pool needs to go somewhere so that users can make up their own minds based on the most recent discussion, but we wouldn't allow multiple duplicate threads. Thank you ckolivas for bringing some reasoning to what was being suggested. Some of the problems the pool has needs to be discussed so miners can decide if they chose to mine there or not. Even though I don't mine there at the moment I still rather have a place that I can share my experience with this pool, both the good and the bad. |

Guys - this is getting ridiculous. Apart from anything else, I'm getting tired of seeing this thread constantly bumped with complaints & accusations to the top of the pools thread. It is obvious that all is not as it should be with this pool, & this is reflected by s0brs refusal to post for such a long period of time (I noticed he was online Today at 03:39:07 but still hasn't posted), so I would like to make a few suggestions to all miners of this pool as well as forum moderators: 1) Any miner who has not been paid in full should open a scam accusation against BAN/s0br, as has been done previously, albeit for a different reason. 2) A notice be added to Organofcorti's mining pools list warning of the lack of communication, support & payments on this forum from either the pool admin (whoever that is) or s0br. 3) If s0br or the pool admin continue to ignore requests for comment/support/payment on this forum pool thread - the moderators should lock it, as it serves absolutely no purpose apart from enticing new miners to the pool under false pretence. 4) @.....Really?: Although I can understand your reasons for trying to extract some kind of a response from s0br, it's not working. Please stop posting in the pool thread & limit your comments to your scam accusation thread. Thanks. 3 months without comment from a pool OP is suspicious to say the least, but miners having to submit a ticket in order to get paid what is owed to them (while not being told to do so by the pool) is just plain wrong. Please, let this be the end of it. Peace I agree with most you have posted but you could say the same for the Slush thread? So you want to lock the only place that some miners can get any information (even if its not from the pool OP) about BAN that don't get on IRC chat? I have to disagree with you on that point. |

Can't speak for others but since I joined my payments have been good, and as for the underpayment during a diff change, sent in a support ticket as directed and the additional was sent out within the hour...
Well here is another thing then that I do not like... The underpayment during the difficulty happened to everyone. Support is well aware of it by now so everyone should be compensated not just the one's that send in a ticket. How many miners don't know to send in a ticket and its not that hard for BAN to figure out what people were due at the change and put that back in their accounts. |

lol wish we could i did how ever research the network and the bitcoin network stands at 305 PH/s p2pool only has 1.401 PH/s in that network... and slush pool has 9.602 Ph/s at the rate this is going i think we are better off going into slush or any other shared pool to gather bitcoins...  I mined a long time ago on Slush's pool and that is where I found my one and only block running my USB miners. There was to many unanswered questions on short payments for me so I left. Its also a pool where you can lose all your mining time if you lose connection or internet right before a block is found. I really don't care for it much. |
