My Fury freaks out now and again, totally dead. If I leave it to totally cool down, it'll start hashing again.

Will it ROI?  |

Angstrom is great and all, but the lack of libraries is driving me nuts.

Does anyone know a better way to approach this? I've got just about everything else
Yeah, put Debian on your BeagleBone Black. I run Debian Wheezy on my Black, and it's simple, and it works. I'm even running it off the eMMC, so no farting about with the SD Card. |

Hi guys i had two miners that now i use with cgminer, but i want do the same thing with bfgminer.
The miners are 1 Technobit Hex16A2 and 1 BitBurner 52GH/s
How i can find the drivers to use them in BFGminer?
TechnoBit HEX16A2: For some reason, these are incompatible with Linux's USB CDC/ACM drivers, so I have been unable to complete a driver for them; while I've tried to get Linux developers involved to fix it, they just don't seem interested. In lieu of that, I recently shipped the sample unit to nwoolls, who does his development on Mac/Windows, and will be sending him my notes and incomplete driver code so he can complete it. BitBurner: No contact, docs, or samples from this vendor. Support is not planned at this time. Please contact the manufacturer and/or vendors to recommend they get in touch. Shame. The HEX16A2 is a good little board, and seem very popular. I've got 5 of them now, running off TechnoBit's OpenWRT firmware for the TL3020. Oddly, they run better at a lower clock rate/voltage. I'm getting 20GH solid from them at 1300MHz/1030mV compared to 18-21GH at 1500MHz/1100mV. The 5 of them are using 300W LESS at basically the same hashrate by taking the voltage and frequency down. Also I can run the fans at 5V instead of OMG LOUD 12v. The BitBurner Fury is a nice board, too. I've had a solid 50GH out of mine, running off a self-compiled cgminer running off a BeagleBone Black. Only cooled by an 80mm Arctic M8 fan (the really cheap one). It seems to be Avalon protocol, but of course doesn't act like a proper Avalon...  Shame the devs are so unforthcoming with helping to get BFG support. Hopefully nwoolls can sort out drivers for the HEX16A2. |

I still run mine, 13GH between the two of them. They're not fast, but they just work. They give no bother at all.

AMD's drivers really do blow chunks, though. The amount of ballsing about to get them mining.
On a nVidia machine, just run cudaminer and it's hashing. No SDK voodoo, no dodgy driver versions.
Definitely thinking of getting a couple of 750Ti to replace my clapped out old 7770 and 7850 cards.

750Ti is a budget and low-power card and it is already at 285 khash. That's because of the new Maxwell architecture used in the card. Imagine the higher end cards NVIDIA will release with Maxwell and where the mining power can go. AMD is back to the drawing board again.
Why would AMD be going back to the drawing board? Are they specifically designing their graphics cards to target miners? No-one buys AMD GPUs for gaming - really, mining is the only reason anyone would buy an AMD card. nVidia's cards and drivers are better than AMD's, always have been. Now that the mining niche is gone, there's really no good reason to buy AMD. |

So, did you actually read the posts about it, because I'm almost 100% sure they describe in detail how to do it?
Be aware there's a new generation of Jalapeno board that doesn't work with the common 1.25 'overclocking' firmwares. Both my Jalapenos are this new generation, and came with 2.92 firmware on them - the old 1.xx firmwares don't work. The firmware version from the factory is on a sticker on the bottom of the board. If it's a 2xx then forget about it.

I gave up on the Pi as well. Waste of time and effort.
I have a single Bitburner Fury (50GH) running off a BeagleBone Black running Debian.
Everything else, a mix of 10x Antminer U1, 2x Jalapenos, a NanoFury, and 5x HEX16A2 boards (total of 160GH) are all running off a Celeron Intel NUC. It's got 2GB RAM and a 30GB SSD, and is also running Debian. It also runs MinerDashboard and a few other bits and bobs that allow me to keep an eye on stuff.
I've also used one of the Foxconn Atom barebones, again running Debian.
All of them run perfectly. If I could be bothered fighting with commandlines, I could probably get everything running off the NUC no problems, but I never got round to getting cgminer beaten in to submission to run everything stable.

How to know if a cloud mining is profitable?
Mine on it, see if you profit.  |

If you've already got the replacement, then why is it a concern if the 'faulty' one is working for the seller? He can stick it up his ass for all it matters.  |

Hi guys! I was wondering if there's a real difference between coin pools that affect your earnings? Besides sometimes the pool fee?
You're welcome. |

You really are clueless, aren't you? |

Yet another Avalon clone?

They're known as Phoenix connectors. Very common in professional audio equipment.

I think that you should call it Stuart.
I thought George would be a better name. |

No, your PC is too slow to run the totally inefficient Bitcoin-Qt.

I will trade you a computer that is currently worth about $1100 to BORROW your Butterflylabs PCI-E monarch 300gh/s or 600gh/s for 1 month, and then i will give the card BACK to you. How's that sound? PM me if serious
If the Monarch did exist yet, lending you it for a month would totally negate any ROI it might possibly gain the owner. Difficulty is going up so much, and price of BTC is going so low that these things are already totally and utterly useless, and they haven't even been made yet. |

Apparently, mining these other coins allow you to use the search function. You should definitely try it.
