Hey Everyone,

The DHL tracking information is saying our parcel is in the UK as of 1PM today.

I don't think its going to be delivered today though, the status hasn't changed to say "out for delivery" or anything like that.

I'm going to cross my fingers and hope DHL deliver it early tomorrow.

Sorry I can't give you all a better update. Sad

Great - that gives me time to get some more units - just kidding Smiley

We can wait another day. Thanks for the update

See here for how you payout is *really* calculated - using the slush score based system:

Will namecoins ever be integrated to stratum like on some other pools?

nah

Hey everyone,

I thought I best give an update, as its just gone 3:30 PM and there hasn't been a delivery yet.

I've just looked at the DHL tracking system, unfortunetly its saying they're still in Germany, but from my experience DHLs track and trace system doesn't always update properly anyway. I've even had deliveries before when their system says its not left the senders county...

If they've not been delivered or the status doesn't change by tomorrow YXT said he will call them.

All the packaging is ready, just waiting for the miners to drop 'em in.

Will keep you all updated.

Smiley

Thanks for the update - I think by tomorrow I will have enough for 1 more Smiley

Anyone having trouble connecting to the pool?

Been fine all day

I'm pretty new to Bitcoin mining and using three Satoshi Sticks (USB ASICs). cgminer indicates an average hash rate of 325 Mh/s per AMU. I've been connected to Slush's pool for a few hours, but on the "My accounts" page the "Mhash/s" stats say

285.69 Mh/s

with this number slowly increasing on page refreshes.

Questions:
- Why is this number significantly lower than 3 x 325 Mh/s?
- Will it keep increasing over time until it reaches the real rate, which cgminer indicates on my local machine?
- Why is this so?

Thanks for helping a Bitcoin mining newbie with this. :-)

This is all good ralf, the average is over the last ten rounds and when you check tomorrow, you should see similar slush rates to cgminer.

The only (minor) thing that I would say is that you should expect 333 MH/s per device - the fact you are only getting on 325 is not devastating but does indicate the miners are not getting enough power (amperage).

If you have them plugged into a cheap usb hub - try plugging them direct into any spare PC slots...

Welcome btw

19195   2013-07-20 14:28:49   0:05:05   8794745   9542   0.02666612   247569   25.07941640    93 confirmations left

Corrected. The formula should be

9542 / 8794745 * 25.079 * 0.98 = 0.0266

But what is the reason of these calculation errors? Manual processing? Pool software should handle this kind of calculation with 100% accuracy.

My best guess is some kind of connectivity issue between the back end pool servers when the shares for a round are being calculated/shared out - slush has addressed it several times and I believe he has made code changes - not only to try and stop it happening - but also to alert him when it does happen - all conjecture of course. Only one man truly knows and like a poster said earlier - he only lurks here now rather than post here. To be honest I don't blame him either - if it's something really important he can use his home page. As soon as he raises his head here all you see is:

1) Hey slush what about namecoins
2) Hey slush my calculation for block xxx is wrong, I only got 0.0000001 BTC and is should have been 0.0000002 - I'm using a 6 core CPU btw...
3) PPS is better than the slush calculation
4) PPLNS is better than the slush calculation
5) What is the slush calculation
6) ad infinitum

Should I assume that block is Invalid ?

If it gets 100 confirmations then it's yours - slush spots about 95% of these and fixes them but people have been known to benefit (or lose) from these block mis-calculations - the best I ever got was around 8 times normal payout for a block that went to 100 confirmations - but I've had several where I got next to nothing and the 100 confirmations passed - this time I'm down - but for you it's all good unless slush sees it Wink

[EDIT] for the long term slush miner - it all evens out

Sorry but please don't be fooled by this - it's NOT ready for shipping. Only a few little singles have been shipped from the first order date (24th June 2012).

An April 5th order is not 'ready to ship'.

I wish they were because I have a march 21st order (when the LS was half the price this guy paid - and 30GH/s not 25).

All units gone.

If you guys want me to run another group buy, now is the time to show some interest. I wont be taking orders though until I've shipped out this batch.

I would be interested in a mini blade GB if there is any discount to be had there...

I think the errors of 1 USB Gizmo is related with the HUB. I took off the USB Gizmo in error, installed another and I started getting those errors in another one. The power supply is only 3Amp and is powering 6x500mA + RPI...

At home, I'll use 2 HUB's, each one with PSU of 3Amp.


It must be the HUB! I now have zombies...  Grin



I was getting this until I bought an anker 10 port usb hub

the best thing is treat bitcoin like paper money. what would you do if a stranger you never met offered to sell you something.
just because it's bitcoin doesnt mean you can't do due diligence first.

Exactly the way I see it
