So I gave the windows binaries a try, I installed the proxy on my Windows 7 64bit VM and connected my Avalon miners and ASIC USB key machine to the proxy. I noticed I get around 109ms and a lot of rejects show up on the avalons, yet if I connect direct to Slush's site I don't get nearly as many rejects on my Avalon's.
Is there a reason for this?
My network consists a Dell 6224 Gbit switch, CAT6 cable and a Cisco Gbit firewall.
Thanks,

Hey guys what's the best way to have my own internal pool?
I tried the Slush windows server but it kept saying the connection was 75ms when I connected my Avalons to it and kept getting rejects. When I tried the slush pool directly it gave me virtually no rejects.
My network has a decent 24 port Gbit switch and CAT6 cables which are new are used on all my devices, my Cisco firewall has Gbit ports as well. The only thing I can think of is that the windows server doesn't fully work, so what are the alternatives and is there something I run in VMware? (I uses ESXi 5.x)
Thanks
You can't use that with the asics because you have to use a stratum server rather than getwork. The old miners do not poll fast enough so you are still working on old blocks and you get those errors. As far as I know there is no Windows implementation and the CGminer developer advised against it. There are implementations on Linux using eloipool software installed locally. There is a long thread about it. Are you referring to this thread? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=61731.0So this eloipool will allow me to use my ASIC miners to use stratum? This is what I was trying before: http://mining.bitcoin.cz/mining-proxy-howto |

Can someone please help me. How the hell do I transfer my bitcoins Ive made from the bitminter website to my wallet? Is auto cash out thing the only option? I just dont understand the min threshold thing. If I just choose auto cash out,and set min threshold to say 1000 bcoins,will all of my coins be deposited to my address?
What hardware are you using to mine with? The threshold for some of the sites is 1.xxxxxx bitcoins but some sites are 0.010000 (example, not sure if I have enough zeros or too many). You should be able to set this. If you are mining directly from a site and have a worker log on name and password you should be able to re-log onto that site and see how many bitcoins you have accumulated and from there should a place to your your wallet id/number so that the site transfers the bitcoins once you have reached the set threshold. If you are using a CPU it will take a very long time to reach your threshold which is why you need to invest in ASIC hardware or use ATI GPUs (which is a dying market) to mine. |

I used bfgminer and set my wallet in there and mined for 3 days,well its been a week and nothing ever got sent from bfgminer,what the hell?
Were you solo mining (not pool) mining with BFGMiner? If not, BFGMiner isn't going to send bitcoins to your wallet. That's done by your pools admin. If you were solo mining, BFGMiner won't send anything to your wallet unless you solve a block by yourself. And you could live longer than that would take! It also depends on what hardware he's using, when I started to see what Bitcoin mining was about I used my Dell XPS 17 3D (L702x) Nivida GFX card and I didn't really see anything until a bought a couple of USB ASIC miners. Nivida video cards well mine a GT555M or something like that gets about 21MH/s, with todays difficulty that would probable take a year before I would see anything.  |

It looks like about 100 orders were cancelled.
My winter electricity is about 17 cents/kW-hour. At that rate the break even point for electricity is about difficulty=700 with Bitcoin about $125. That means 2 BTC for mini is just about at the break even point. If anything goes wrong (late delivery, faulty unit, difficulty shoots up, electricity/internet goes out, etc.) it will be a loss.
Sounds like you need to find a place to rent that doesn't charge you anything for hydro! |

when you clic on tradehill actions i obtain Tradehill Moving Forward. impossible to see actions
Correct, until you are verified. i never ask to verified because auction start at 2BTC but it s not final price. avalon min 9btc X 2= 18 BTC B3 4 modules = 15 BTC it s better to buy a 4 modules the auction minimum was changed to 2 BTC, not 9 BTC. So a min bid would be 4 BTC for 2 minis= 4 modules compared to 15BTC to get 4-module delivered which will need a power supply to overclock. auction = bid = not the final price. and sell for 2 BTC their lost money. power supply + shipping = more 2 BTC Yes that's true, but there are 500 units up for grabs. |

Dude the NSA has the keys to everything and not just Microsoft. Well, it's true that there are other vulnerabilities that they can exploit, but since Linux is open source, it's not as easy as just having the OS developer build a back door right into the code. Yes but you don't seem to understand the magnitude of the issue. How many open source Linux servers are running at companies with more than 1000 users? Not a lot, I know this because a close friend of mine who will remain nameless (to protect his job) works for EMC and spends most of his time putting out fires and doing doing migrations and such for EMC/Microsoft traveling the world being onsite at places he's told me a few times that it would risk the security of his family if he told me where he was. The bottom line is we don't live in an open source world, the NSA has the keys to everything, even the products which hold our internet infrastructure together, and I am not trying to scare you or anyone I am just trying to put things into better perspective as most people are too blind to really see how deep the rabbit hole goes! I am not really sure if open source is that safe to tell you truth that I am sure the NSA has a team of people working on that too, and I am sure in the future we'll hear something about as more and more people start to become self-aware and leak more info to the rest of the world. That's my 2 cents. So don't be scared that someone is watching out for you! |

This isn't coming from me, it's what I have heard from someone else. So maybe a mini could be fetched for 2BTCs. For me all I would like to get is one if possible, if not, oh well it wasn't meant to be. |

You can excahnge for btc, for example on vircurex or btc-e.
Sorry since I am not familiar with exchanges yet, how do I go about selling them and what should I expect to get for them? Thanks |

Correct, until you are verified. Still waiting myself to be verified, I hope that happens before the auction ends or I will miss out on getting a mini...  |

Bitminter also gives me Namecoins is there anyway to convert them into BTC's or if they are worthless how do I stop farming them as well?
Thanks

There are about 240 new Avalons, 2 module, 60 GH/s, at auction for 2 BTC. When I go to the line all I get is a blank screen. Same here This auction ends Tuesday, Oct 15, 2013 at 12 PM EST. The minimum bid at the moment is 2 BTC. There are about 240 miners that have not been bid on. They are announced as 60 GH/s, 2 modules, overclocked frequency 275 MHz, 160 chips, 595 W It seems odd that you can't see the auction standings without submitting identity documents. Do you know if shipping is free? , so maybe you can see it too. It says they deduct the winning funds and ship the product. No mention is made of paying more for shipping. That is not the same thing as saying the shipping is included. I just emailed support@avalon to see if the guy can confirm if the shipping is free(included) or if it's extra, as soon as I hear back from him I will let everyone know, but I can't see him asking for anything as he doesn't charge extra money for the modules and 4 module Avalon that he sells. I suspect it's one person at Avalon that's why I keep saying he.  |

I see, its just that vista is pretty known to have lots of problems. I am a Mac user so I am not sure of the details but I've heard that XP is a much more stable environment and that vista was the worst ever released. Not sure about Win 7 & 8 in general but I know some people are working on those without issue and i've never met anyone running vista before.
Just a tid bit.. but maybe you're right that the client should run on ANY computer since its java based, vista not being an exception. Maybe the Doc has some better advice.
On release vista was a mess granted ,since the patches the comparisons to win7 for performance is more or less on par so since I'am familiar with the interface I just did not see a need to buy or use win7 or 8 . If someone points out that vista is causing any issues or win7 or 8 is superior then I am able to upgrade . It iss just a pain in the ass getting used to a new os. One other reason for not wanting to have windows 8 is that there was an official recommendation to some users not to upgrade since there is a built in monitoring or back door type deal with it . If I can find the information I will post it here ,but Bitcoin is about keeping private and windows 8 about making you 100% public . Perhaps you were referring to this article? NSA Backdoor Exploit in Windows 8 UncoveredIn any event, I'm wanting to run my devices on a Linux device now, not just due to Microsoft's infamy in this arena, but because that's what it seems like most bitcoin developers are familiar with. (Namecoin-Qt doesn't even have a Mac binary yet....) Dude the NSA has the keys to everything and not just Microsoft. But if you are going jump on Microsoft let me say this, when Microsoft discovers a bug in any of its products it tells the NSA first before going ahead and developing a patch to fix the bug. |
