O! My fisrt purchase went troug, but the 2nd did not, I did get an reply from him, saying it's prolly just queued. Waiting for the second response now.
[edit] my purchase came trough, incredibly late, but it did.

What do you think my issue here is:

3 Cairnsmores plugged in at an unpowered usb hub, all running the twintest bitstream and enterpoints cgminer for it. Windows seven, quad core, plenty of ram (it's a gaming pc).
5 first cores are pushing shares as is to be expected (0-4) But CM5 is doing less than a third of the shares of the other cores, with 0 rejects showing up at cgminer, whereas the other cores have a normal invalid rate (6-16 invalids at aroud 3300 shares hashed per core).

Im starting cgminer with the command: cgminer_twintest -o mint.bitminter.com:8332 -u ME -p MAHPASS --disable-gpu -S noauto -S\\.\COM22 -S \\.\COM23 -S \\.\COM26 -S \\.\COM27 -S \\.\COM30 -S \\.\COM31

If some relevant info is missing please just ask me.

Another 100k share blast incoming, comeon ppl let's get some horsepower going, we need to kill this drought.

+1 and it's over 150 boards, highest number I have is 159.

Thank you, giving the twintest a try right away, it's starting, hopefully I have more to report later
[edit]
Ok, it appears to be running at 1034 MHS reported at the pool... this is with 3 boards, Invalids are still nonexistent. The only improvement so far for me is that CM5, a core that would usually get one share and doze off, is doing slightly better: it's now up to 3 shares (0.27/m).

Request: a fool proof guide to installing the drivers in windows 7, including the dipswich configuration if necessary.
..needless to say at current I am inable to get either of the two remaining boards to even detect in virtualbox : / ...wonder what I did last night to get it going.

The problem I keep running in to is windows dosent detect the device properly when plugged in, when I install the drivers manually it says the drivers are fine and refuses to do anything. When I use the options "let me pick" and "have disk" I get something in, but after the installation completes the status of the device is "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" and it dosent show up in virtualbox.
[edit]
Looks like I found the problem: it requires an ubs-3 port for some reason, what's up with that ?

After one night of hashing the single board I have plugged in with the twintest bitstream is reporting in at 411MHS, and 2200 shares of which 4 are rejected at poolside. Nothing special or noteworthy there, but for some reason the rejected shares are all from the bitcoin side and on the namecoin side there are none. This is unuasual for me at bitminter, the norm for gpu rigs is that rejects on namecoin side are about 12-47 times greater depending on the rig. Also the bitcoin side rejects seem lower than on gpu rigs 0,006% vs 0,03%.

I was in lowercases, thank you.
Meanwhile I managed to get the first board to hash I guess Im good for tonight, would of love to accomplish more but it seems that no amount of caffeine can help me out at this point.
While Im posting I should mention that I will be setting up a board for DrHaribo of bitminter to work on, once there is an actual working bitstream in exsistense, this should help noobs like me use the devices, as he's nifty java-miner is as simple as they get.

First off, thank you for helping and more so thank you for being the hugest contributor in this thread and the huge amount of hours you've put in.
I assure you I have read every single post in this thread, on a daily basis since it started.
I find it odd that the typo in the pdf instructions hasnt yet been corrected, and apologize for asking this even tough I had read of it (multiple times) .. I just assumed it'd be corrected by now.
works.
does not work, but this time it's complaning about a filename issue to me. My initial hunch is that since the board im punishing is #108 the firmware filename on it has changed along the way. I'll re-read up on this , of how I wsh the search function on this forum worked better .. but for now Im going with the temporary flash.

Neither of the cgminer windows builds manages to even start up.  They are complaning about libcurl.dll missing.
[edit]
..Ok so Im going with ebereons dirty version, proceeding to flashing in the twintest, following the instructions in the pdf untill: Verify that the JTAG Device chain can be accessed as follows:
Type: xc3sprog –c cm1 –j <return>
All 4 Array devices should be visible as above.

There not, something is wrong. Please update the guide to include what to do.Disregard this.
And whilst Yohan will undoubtably relativley soon get that done, some kind soul could point me in to the right direction. I apologize if this bit has hallready been covered in the thread, I assure you I have read it several times, but in my mind it's a swirling vortex of chaos atm and a real how-to needs to emerge.
[edit2]
Apparrentley I unchecked the device in virtualbox, it was allready checked and I removed the checkmark.
edit3
The guide says "Mount the USB Device as follows:
Type: mount –t auto /dev/sdb /mnt "
This results in "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"

So, wtf do I do now... Enterpoint really needs to sort these kinks out, no point in making a guide if the odds of getting something done with it are this bad.
Looks like this is going to be a long night, but I wont be quitting untill I have atleast one valid submitted share
[edit4]
Ok found the usefull bit in the thread, after quite some browsing.. we really need to organize a how to, If I get this working Im propably going to start a separate thread where we can work on the how to. I know it's not much but this is something my skillset allows me to contribute.
[edit5]
This works, but it's saying that utf8 is not a reccomended filesystem as it will be case sensitive, In hopes of getting to the how-to eventually I would like one of you mighty wizards of linux to post a spell that specifies a filesystem that wont be case sensitive.
[edit6]
"Type:
xc3sprog –c cm1 –p 0 –I xc6lx150.bit shipping_test.bit <return>"  Im trying to do the permanent flash, typing this yields me a screen full of options about a software I know nothing about, of which I understand only a part of. Srsly, am I to expect a failure of some sort at every step of following your guide ?
[edit7]
Some browsing again and found this: "I have found MY problem

I don't know if it fixes your's also.

FIRST: Turn off the unit! Set the dip switches to the shipping configuration!
If you turn on the unit with other dip settings, the unit will not work! It will not work, no matter what you do.
Shipping configuration 50MHz:
SW1/6 all on
SW2 all on
SW3 134 on, 2 off
SW4 134 on, 2 off
SW5 all on"

I've now retried with 2 different swich settings, one from a pdf, one from an image in this thread. Atm it would be usefull for me to know am I even looking at an dip-swich issue here ? ...and I did power off the board in between.
[Edit8]
Yohan the capital I in your pdf in the "Type: xc3sprog –c cm1 –p 0 –I xc6lx150.bit shipping_test.bit <return>" looks like a lowercase L
Figuring this out gets me to a point where the response from xc3sprog is :
Using libftdi,
JEDEC: ff ff 0xff 0xff
unknown JEDEC manufacturer: ff
ISF Bitfile propably not loaded
This response is virtually instant so it's safe to say it's not working. Once again I would like input on what I am doing wrong ?

On another note, I tried running the ebereons dirty version of cgminer with the shipping bitstream, but got a response (something like) cannot mine, all devices disabled. Is this because I have virtualbox open and the device in use there, or am I looking at something different here ?

Im about to get my boards later this week and it seems like your the who's reporting in with best numbers. Could you please specify what bitstream you are runnin running with what miner and what versions ?

Thank you in advance.

Should you find out who's behind it and submit proof I can possibly be able to return in kind, looks like I have a dosen or so wlans to abuse in addition to my own bandwith... and 7 computers to throw at it so an estimated 100-120Mb/s.

I for one would like to know exacly where and how the 5% of the hashing power is directed, got 12 spartan6:s lined up from enterpoint. Would you care to elaborate ?

Wrog thread, sorry.

That long a wait is not normal in my (little experience) ..I'd check your login and pw on the purhase pool to be sure.

That hashrate you saw off me was gpumax, I made some trials with strategicly timed purchases. My hardware can at most push out a 4Ghs, but that would require sub-zero temeperatures and it's summer here now. Sadly I did not break even off my purchases, but Im happy to report that I seem to get 5-10% more accepted shares that Im paying for, each buy. So in theory during this race I might be able to justify getting a +/-o ev off gpumax.

Good job, Im sure we'll see a peak in hashrates, I for one will abandon undervolting and clocking for this weekend asfar as weather permits

Yeah, it's down .. took a look at one of my installed F12's to confirm.

Is that the Arcfic cooling F12 or F14 ?

..Either way a good choice of fan supplier.

I have one 6990 also, I'd advice to stay away from those, they are loud hot and hungry (energywise). I most definetley will not buy another one.
