(600x54) + (50x27) = 32400GH/s
Add that to the hashes BFL's ASIC units will be adding to the network when they ship and you gotz a whole buncha crunchin'.
R.I.P. GPU mining.
The BFL Pre-order thread has confirmed ~48TH/s. This is another 32Th/s, and 300 Avalons is another 18TH/s. That's a minimum of 100TH/s by the time they all ship. Prolly closer to 150TH/s. That's still not even a 10x difficulty increase. I suspect it will be quite a long time before we get to 45million difficulty numbers. Part of this is recorded numbers, part of this is speculation, so should be taken with a grain of salt. Add a shot of Tequila and a wedge of lemon |

There's now 3 threads for BFL's preorder, and not a lot of information about Cablepair's bASIC ordering, so I'm starting this thread to get one started! Hardware can be purchased here: http://BitcoinASIC.comThere are two units available: 54GH/s - $1069.99 USD 27GH/s - $599.99 USD The very first bASIC order is #266, the next one in line after that is #269 and then #273. To add your name to the list, please provide: Your forum name, order number, date ordered, and which model. Date Ordered | Order Number | QTY of 54GH/s | QTY of 27GH/s | Date Received | Wait Time | User | | 1999/5/14 | 1,234,000 | 500 | 1,000 | 2014/5/14 | long | Example |
Are you sure that's not a BFL order?  |

We chose the top contender, what more do you want? Seriously... it's like impossible to please people.
I'm ticked off you selected someone who doesn't drink beer. That just ain't right. Of course you could send me the beer you were going to buy him, that would help sooth my disappointment. Here, I had a few drinks for you.  Thank god tomorrow is recycle day. If you take those back for the deposit you can order a jally |

What about just to communicate with devices and not for power purposes?
Do people think a decent laptop with a quad CPU can handle like 25 of the 54 or 60 GH units ?
Can you plug in like 2-3 hubs to one laptop ?
With cgminer yes |

so why did we spend soo much time voting and poles and bla bla bla?  ? Yochdog 45 44.55%
Cablez 9 8.91%

This was to be expected. BFL selected the cheapest foundry to make their ASICs. So their design was stolen by rogue employees, or even the unscrupulous company itself, and clone chips are now going to be manufactured, and sold on the grey market.

Could be, if the logo is a moth |

You can get a used card on ebay, the closer to the block halving and the release of asics, the cheaper they will be, people will be selling them, as the difficulty will be going up and the yield will be as much as your current 9Mh/s. You can get into a small 27Gh/s that should be delivered in Dec for about 600. http://www.btcfpga.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=59 I'm just pointing out that the ROI on a GPU card will be/is very poor. Best wishes in your endeavors |

That's what one of the other FPGA companies did and they took a hit at their reputation and killed sales.

How long does this thing have to stay here? I got a lot of ignores due to this I think.
Until after the tattoo heals. |

Yes it's all the same... as I said the only thing different is it does not check the return codes from the opencl calls. Once again I have to ask you, are you actually getting more shares returned by raper. Please don't assume that because the hashrate displays higher that that is evidence.
Okay. I'll run it for exactly 5 minutes with both programs and report back the number of shares I get. I'm going to have to run cgminer with suboptimal settings (thread_concurrency = 8000, intensity = 13) because otherwise I'll get all hardware errors. Use the reported # shares at the pool |

Soooo for the contest for this week how do we enter, I already changed my sig  Do we need to re-register or will it carry over? |
|
|
|
Yes, that's correct.
Thanks, It might help if you put a speed range for people to use: Up to 3Gh or 10 workers US3 is recommended and so on |
|
|
|
Ok, here's the config now:
US1: 12 getworks per minute target
US2: 16 getworks per minute target
US3: 20 getworks per minute target
See which one works best for you.
I may bump that up to 20, 24 and 32? So US1 gives the highest diff? |
|
|
|
|
Could you give us a rundown on the diff at each server?

Its no big deal,
Web site will be back up today, it appears that when they went to auto-bill my CC - the bank's fraud protection went off and disabled the card (this happens to me a lot my bank is ultra paranoid)
so the invoice went unpaid for like 5 days and I didn't even realize it - my hosting provider is kind of lazy - they didnt even realize it either - the system just auto suspended my account today.
Anyways I just paid the damn thing for a year up front.
Sorry for any confusion this may have caused
You might be able to get them to take BTC for payments. |

I donated all my name coins and upped my bit coin donation from 1 to 2 percent.
Thank you kindly, sir. I am a bit busy but will send a full set of screen shots describing the problem with the 4x 7970 gpu worker.
as I said it was fine with 3x 7970 gpus and the problem started when i added the 4th gpu. Two days ago.
Today I just added a 1x 7970 gpu worker. yesterday I upgraded a 1 gpu unit pc from a 7750 to a 7970.
Hmm. I have experienced when going from 1 AMD card to 2 AMD cards that the drivers started crashing. I had to wipe out the drivers and install them fresh, having both cards in the computer when I installed the drivers. Could be worth a shot. AMD makes great hardware but their software is a little wonky. I did this because I was lucky and was able to get 3x 7970 gpus for about 900 usd this week. they should have been 1300 usd so I grabbed them and upgraded my bitcoin setup. my total hash rate is now around 4000 it was about 2500. with the weather getting colder the units are great space heaters which lowers the overall cost of running them. as long as the price stays stable for the coins and the asics are slow coming online I am going to do well.
Yeah, if you can make a profit, go for it. If profits drop you can still use the machine as a heater for a while. Take a look at the scheduling in BitMinter client - you could mine only at the time of day and day of week when you need heating. yeah all in all this has ben a bit of fun. I think I may need to fully reinstall the 4x hd7970 setup. amd drivers were crazy when I jumped up from 3 to 4 which may have confused everything Always make sure you update the ATI config in linux: sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all
sudo aticonfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --tls=1 --adapter=all
sudo aticonfig --lsa and see if all the cards are showing then reboot |
