hey phil is it better to run it split between the two like that?
Oh and ck, is it ok to use the same userid format as the main pool? e.g. address.Biffa-rental

Well mixed results with the move to 2.0
Had to clock two back to 550Mhz and one has locked up or exploded or something, gotta wait till someone reboots it then catch it before it overheats again.
New firmware seems to run a bit hotter than the original B13 firmware.
Wish there was a way to keep the existing firmware and just copy the miner binary over. hmm.
yep https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.msg17237291#msg17237291good luck on restarting i will not bother with this "upgrayedd" again until... maybe never heh, well its worth it if it helps find more blocks here imho I've got them running as well as they were before the upgrade now. Temps back to normal. These are all hosted, so gotta wait till remote hands do the reboot of the problem one. |

I have a backup of 20160715-550M fw for my batch 8ish. You can file a support ticket to BM and they should provide you a link to download it. Thanks, but I've got a copy of the old firmware, the other two are happy with one at 550 and one at 556Mhz for now, so if I can get the third one rebooted I'll set it to 556Mhz and see if its stable. |

Me too..  Once my wallets synched so I can rent some. 24 hours of 100TH goodness. Least I can do  |

From the timing of when he mentioned it, it looks like that may very well be a possibility, appears to have happened within minutes of biffa mentioning it... Thanks biffa!
There's the secret sauce! And I thought that only worked on Kano's pool!
Its not because of the chicken, its because I can't sit comfortably right now. |

Perhaps I can simplify it for you a bit. You keep bringing up the 666% block. For those hashes, statistically you would have expected to find 6 blocks. It simply does not matter if the coinbase transaction distributed the block reward to address 1, address 2, address 3, ..., address N, or to all of them (like in p2pool). What would have happened had you been mining to address 2 instead of address 1? You would have expected to find 6 blocks. That's it. Changing the address(es) in the coinbase transaction has no bearing at all on those expectations. I hope that helps to clarify it for you  . your right Jonny, it has no bearing on the expectations, but that does not mean that it cannot have an effect on your luck. If I changed my coinbase address right before I would have found a block to an address that wouldn't find a block for the next N amount of shares, and kept doing this every time my luck was about to change I could possibly never find a block no matter how many trillions of hashes I tried. You could stick a different coloured rabbits foot up your arse every time a block was found, or sacrifice a chicken dipped in green food dye when a 4 day block comes along, or kill fictional characters in an animated japanese film and that would have as much chance on changing your luck as changing your address. Anything to do with changing the luck of finding a block is purely as superstitious as a gambler wearing his lucky shorts. |

Going to upgrade my v1's to v2

doesn't it make sense then that if I change addresses after each block is found that after 100 blocks my average could just as likely be 0 as it could be 1000? And that it will be determined partly by my luck as to which addresses I picked and at what time I chose to use them?
No it doesn't make sense. You understand luck right? lucknoun 1. success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions. verbinformal 1. chance to find or acquire. |

Will the 2pac work plugged straight into a USB2 port on a computer or would it require a separate power supply or powered USB hub?
|

|

Will segwit always be like a separate "library" add-on to the main code? So its easily excluded, or rather not-included, when compiling?

Ouch, UPS just stung me for over $300 in taxes, duty and "handling charges"  Now I remember why I don't buy miners in the UK anymore. Lucky I have free electric for this or I wouldn't bother.  That's exactly why I haven't bought a new miner from outside the EU. Ridiculous charges from government, then the handling charges on top of that aswell Still have to pay tax if you buy inside the EU new. Only way out of paying VAT is to buy second hand, which has its own risks. I normally buy and then get it delivered and hosted outside the EU so China or US. But the R4 is a curiosity a toy (almost) for home/office mining so worth a punt. |

I am buying an antminer R4 from a member on here. I have decided that due to living in a colder climate, me and my partner are going to do our own custom painted casing of a nice fake fireplace which we can slip the R4 into.
Colder winter months this will act as a 24/7 fan heater, summer months I can remove the miner from the fake 'fire' and put it in the brick and mortar shed where I have destined the rest of the farm to be. Has proper electrics wired in by a qualified electrician so I am happy. Homeplugs to bring Ethernet into there means I am away!
A novel thing to do with the antminer R4, I think it will look sexy and will be able to make money in the process, I have a lock in with sainsburys energy for two years with a 10.6p day and 4.5p night rate (economy 7) (I have never found a deal like it, it averages at 8 pence I think, you cant get this rate getting it with them directly) when the promo ran out I was able to convince them to lock me onto the rate for two years. *rubs hands together*
I will add that in the UK energy that cheap is simply unheard of in a residential property. the best deal I could find outside of it was 7p night 11.5p day rate. I will make the most of this tariff while I have it!
In the winter heating cost is needed anyway so I wouldn't class that as eating into mining profit from a machine like this, in the summer it would but I can move it out the way so as not to bake!
That is very low for the UK, good luck, but I don't think the R4 generates that much heat from what I have read by others that have them. |

Same error as here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1493601.msg17033838#msg17033838I had a S9 mining at around 5.6TH, so decided I'd try the newest firmware. Now I get this: Hardware Version Socket connect failed: Connection refused Kernel Version Linux 3.10.31-ltsi-00003-gcf03eb9 #81 SMP Mon Apr 25 11:20:36 CST 2016 File System Version Tue Nov 29 06:13:15 EST 2016 BMminer Version Uptime 1 Load Average 0.13, 0.04, 0.01 Tried power reset, leaving it unplugged, everything I could think of. What should I do? New "self tuning" firmware takes up to 20minutes to start mining after a reboot, during which time it gives that error. Try leaving it running for half an hour and see if its ok. Also check what batch of miner it was, some firmware is only for the later batches. |

guys i found somebody generate 12 btc regulary with this address: 1DXRoTT67mCbhdHHL1it4J1xsSZHHnFxYR
can anybody tell me how did this happened?
They have a large amount of hash rate and they manage to mine that many coins once or twice a day. If you just search this thread they are mentioned as maybe being Telco214 |
