We still need translators for the following:
German, Portuguese, Korean
I saw you noted you might have someone for German... but i did not see it posted that it was completed? Does this still need to be done? |

I was trying out different coolers last night and noticed something about the chips. The chips aren't just at different heights but are slanted in different directions.
They are slanted so much that the fuji TIM wasn't thick enough to make up the difference. For my first setup I applied Arctic Silver on top of my TIM and reached 36 Ghz. On my subsequent tries with just the TIM I was topping out at 29 to 30 Ghz. When I took the coolers off and looked at the TIM I could clearly see how uneven the chips were. I put Arctic back on top and I was able to get 36 Ghz again.
My thoughts are add some grease to your TIM or add a second layer of TIM to thicken it up.
I had my suspicions on this... the first time i unmounted my cooler and looked at the heatsink surface... in the right light I could see the outline of where the TIM had pressure on the surface. A couple spots looked like there might be less contact but not congruent with where board flex would have it... like the ships were not level. So you are saying you put TIM on the chips... then paste on the TIM? So paste to the cooler base? Or do you mean paste on the chips, then TIM on top to cooler base? |

To answer the questions.
You will need a power supply with a 6 in pcie
You will need a Higher end CPU cooler or GPU cooler.
I have been having very good luck with the dual antec kuhler shelf setup. This also makes a nice stand for the card. I have also been having very very good results with the corsair H60.
The cards HAVE to have a backplate,or they will have trouble booting (blinking or solid lights).
The boards will still connect but not hash in this state. It is poor contact or poor cooling (same thing).
The boards flex easily and even if you can not see it, it will make your board
1. Not boot, blink
2. Boot , throw a high hash rate but all errors
3. Hash slowly.
More detail please... TIM or paste on chips? TIM or insulator and paste on the bottom? Hashrate using the Chilibug setup and the dual shelf setup? 1,2 and 3 are not 100% correct... I want more hashes... but I am 33-34 GH/s @ 70C with only the Arctic Accelero TT II no backplate using just Fujipoly TIM on the chips and thermal adhesive + mini heatsinks under the chips and VRMs. EDIT: and where did you get an H60 for $32? |

Meh. The Chili plug is somewhat appropriate for this thread, but a plug for a pool is not. Please remove it.
WOW... wasn't even given a chance to change the post before it was deleted for me. |

I fail to see how this is even relevant... are they trying to claim a small network making up about 10% of the total BTC hashrate has event he REMOTEST chance to outpace the 90% in block solutions... it is mathematically impossible... the 10% on average would only be able to generate blocks at this difficulty 1/10th as quickly as the main network...
Am I missing something here... or is that just a blatant oversight by the university? 10% of the hashrate cannot generate the same amount of blocks as 90% in the same time period at the same difficulty... paper debunked.

Thanks for the answers... did not realize WinUSB vs FTDI was that hot of a topic...
On a Chili note... found that an older Alienware case I had collected a couple years back had a high end 650W PSU in it that still worked... WOOOOOO!
Gutted the thing, tested the PSU for a few hours after shorting the 20 pin (yes I said it was old jeez) and tested all the fans that were in the thing (4 LED riddled 80mms) after cleaning them.
I moved the Chili downstairs to this case and used an old HP netbook to connect and start mining. Downstairs is about 6-8 degrees cooler ambient and WOW... that made a huge difference... now 34 GH/s stable and my main rig is now free again.
I have one more thing to do, had a few old GPUs that had nice heatsink fan combos on them... gutted those cleaned them and had a pal of mine fab some brackets to fit the screw pattern for the Arctic Accelero TT II so I can use them to mount this as a backplate instead of the 9 mini heatsinks I was using. I am hoping this gives me a way to eliminate board flew and more force on the chips, so better cooling, and the addition of a fan underneath venting the heat straight away from the board.
Just waiting on some more TIM now.

What she means is, the more you mine now... the more you are devaluing this coin.
If you stop now... that leaves more coins to be mined when the difficulty is fixed... making more incentive for miners to come back to this coin later.
If you keep mining now, then there will be precious few coins left to mine giving people very little incentive to actually point hashes this way... and killing any chance of any value for QBT.

I am searching for BFGMiner love. I have the newest version 3.5 running but it doesn't identify my miners. Is WinUSB the correct USB driver to use?
No, WinUSB is always the wrong driver for ASICs. Chilis are FTDI: http://ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htmInteresting. I am using WinUSB CGMINER. That would explain why BFG miner isn't working though. Yes, cgminer requires the wrong driver. But we were talking about BFGMiner... curious why this is "wrong" with cgminer? Is there a performance gain using FTDI with BFG? |

I would rather have them as a collectible coin for barter than have this be a devcoin.
I don't see any reason it should be that low anyway.
Considering that 8-9 days after the halving happened at 78500 blocks... there will only remain 11.6875% of total coins left to mine... Unless this gets fixed in the next few days... you can bet the value of each QBT will be about what it cost me t mine each of my 200K... about 50 Satoshis each. Less with BTC approaching $300. |

well today i added a h60 to the chili and its the same as the last heatsink i had on it the temp sticks around 70c and only will go to 21GH
i can touch the board and it is cool to the touch.
I updated the board to the newest firmware and in the start of bfgminer the temps shoot up to 100c then back to 70c then to 90c and then 70c again and levels out at 70 to 72 again it will only push 21GH.
I would recommend you take a couple pics of the setup at chip level from both sides so we can see exactly how the board sits in relation to the heatsink... so we can see if there is boughing, or maybe it is off level and has some chips missing contact. What are you using TIMs or paste? Also, idk about BFG but cgminer puts the temp warnings right on the screen as they happen... try cgminer 3.6.6 and see if it throws temp warnings... that will make it very apparent there is a contact issue. |

It has been 8 weeks since this launched and not one person... NOT ONE OF YOU MINERS, TRADERS, DEVELOPERS NOR PROMOTERS... have pointed out the one BLATANT issue with this coin.
It is posted right in the ANN post by the OP and not mentioned by a single person here... you all FAIL AT MATH!!!!
- 1/100 chance (about every hour) for one 8096-coin block (2^13 coins)
2^13 = 8192 scrubs... i only started to read about ASC today and pointed some hashes at it... and I saw this right off the bat... just wow...

Working on it now  please fix that coin....  YAY CASSIE!!!!!! Mind sharing some info with me... i'd love to help any way I can. |
|
|

please fix that coin.... Damn... when Coinex is asking for it to be fixed... you know you have a new pool and exchange ready to use it... If that is not enough incentive for Shake to patch up the difficulty... idk what else we can do to push it. |

what are you mining with ? Considering that the 78500 block to the halving point makes over 11 million coins... which was supposed to take a month but took 8 days... estimates giving this coin more value than a HBN are overly optimistic.
I hold just over 1% of the total QBT to ever be minted from 18 hours solo.
For about $1 worth of electricity and the ~$7 of BTC I did not mine while solo on QBT, 100 Satoshis per QBT is a 100% profit margin.
Trust me Cassie something is a little off with the block rate being around ever 6-12 seconds instead of 33 plus the fact that difficulty will rise and fall for apparently no reason other than why the hell not lol even when we had a lot of GH (200+) thrown at it refused to go over 2000. 33+ GH/s Chili from Mr Teal. And yes... the difficulty and block rate are hosed... asking an exchange to add this now will ensure they ignore it forever... everyone can stop being greedy... trying to cash out is not going to happen. Shake needs to change what is used for difficulty adjustments and that should fix the block times. IDK about Elacoin... but i am personally a big fan of Gravity Well. It has had MEC on track since implemented at 100% accurate block generation. |

Had my first hang up last night... woke this AM to 200GH/s 24C temp and no shares to the pool.
Only full power cycle fixed this. Was this addressed in the firmware that was linked a few pages back?

Anyone mining with a Chili on android?
I have an HTC Thunderbolt, rooted, running IGS and I just bought an OTG USB 2.0 cable for it.
I am planning to use it to mine with the chili and just wanted to see what application anyone might be using on android with this?

Yes... it is two fold.
Using the pads and basic screw pattern, the board has a boughing issue and can only get so much force without causing the center chips to lose some contact. Add to that the fact that the fins of the TT II are within 1 inch of the VRMs and caps, it makes airflow over them impossible.
Rotating it they way I have now has helped... but the determining factor is still going to be force on the chips... I am hoping to find a heatsink block that has matching screw patterns to the TT II and try that on the back with a pad... then all the torque of the screws is to the haetsinks and zero on the board so full force and no boughing.

I hope the best for your mom Cassie.
As far as the coin goes... tell em like it is... STFU and let the bugs get worked out! I know shake will help get it on track.
Since Dream has made good progress on the pool, I know ahmed is using the same front end now... I will ask if he is interested in launching a second one after the adjustments are made to the coin.
(Sadface RIP WGN?)

I dunno what gorgorom is thinking... but this seems a bit odd unless I am not understanding...
Coin Notes:
= 20 Million To Be Mined
= SHA-256d Proof-Of-Work
= 150 Coins Per Block
= 33 Second Block Times
= 50 Block Maturation
= No Premine
= RPCport 17428
= P2Pport 17427
= 11 Second Retarget with 20% maximum adjustment down 10% up
And then to point at the current QBT pool... is he assuming Dream is just going to go with that fork?
