Is this pool still live? do we still get rewards if we found any match from available work? because i tried using these settings : http://prntscr.com/8q41ek (i know that i used the default btc address, just for test) but i get no available work message Pool is still live, and I believe recently paid out to somebody. The reason you're not seeing any work is because it appears you're hitting the wrong server. try: oclvanityminer64.exe -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a 1ADDRESSHERE Fires right up here, looking for 1BETBTCcom As for manually doing it, check out the FAQ at the pool site. Also of interest might be this post about using autoit to semi-automate this using vanitygen (and not vanityminer): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.msg11084323#msg11084323oclvanityminer(64) is the recommended road to go down though. |

is there an easy system in place tho to tell what the worker shares are?
[...]
hmm i was actually thinking, dont the shares reset after ck's solo pool finds a block? it could be hard to track.
-ck added a "shares" parameter in the json output for solo.ckpool.org . Just a matter of grabbing stats A. once when the round begins, and B. again when a block is found, then B-A = shares for that period. -ck mentioned that worker shares are not reset. |

Thanks Phil. [...] TRS, I think the list is correct now. yep, thanks to you both  |

I'm making the IRC bot pull edonkey's list so that it doesn't rely solely on my manual intervention. There's one worker that I'm not sure anymore if it was a stick partaking on behalf of sidehack, or whether it should be counted as a donator: sidehackdonatedstick Whoever's running that one, please clarify. And if it is mentioned in the thread, whop me with a cluebat |

I'd suggest checking on the connection state of the small diode inbetween the SOT23 transistors to the left of the LED Finally got around to poking at things - that was indeed it, saves some hunting  Was going for an angle view ( https://i.imgur.com/abKI0X4.png ) but I think the top-down one shows the problem pretty well; the pin wasn't wetted by the solder, probably for the reason you've pointed out before.. paste drying out. Should be a simple fix with a touch of flux and a heat gun That diode is one of the hardest parts for the machine to place correctly because it's such a friggin' small package, smaller even than the 0603. It's the littles thing on the board. Indeed - That text at the top is the tiny "GekkoScience" silkscreen. The smallest I personally ever work with is 0402, which is plenty tiny and uncomfortable enough, and yet far from the smallest passives found in modern mobile devices. |

Then... Why these tiny miners still costs high prices if they return almost nothing? Because people are still willing to pay those prices - whether because they don't know any better (i.e. the seller's basically taking advantage of ignorance, even if not willful), or because the buyer assigns that value to the object based on other characteristics (maybe trying to complete a collection, for example). A secondary thing is that there's a minimum value for these things anyway - people have to put in time for packaging+shipping, the packaging+shipping itself has a cost, and below a certain base value for the product, the aforementioned aren't worth the bother. So while a Block Erupter USB, when calculating $/Gh from say an Antminer S7 would be almost worthless, a more reasonable market price is between $5 and $10. Lower than $5 and you'd be better off yanking the heatspreader off and try selling that separately as 'jewelry', for example  |

Maybe they're working on the website? The "block #" column is incorrect right now anyway; that's supposed to be the height in the block chain, not Slush's internal block ID.

Also, with the V0.5 there is no longer a "danger zone" on the pot. If you circle past the top-end voltage it automatically drops back down to 550mV. All 360° of rotation are within the safe operating voltage of the ASIC.
Yeah, it's no longer 'dangerous', but it'll at least provide too low a voltage for higher hash rates.. might as well designate a "just don't turn it here" area Well done, that looks really good. Did you put it together for fun, or is it for resale? Seems like it would add a bit to shipping costs, especially on multiple stick orders. Thanks! Bit of both, 4 were gifted away, 2 went to people who bought from me. Haven't got any others lined up and I've got a bunch of travels ahead of me or I'd see about making more to have some in stock 'just in case' I'd order some more out of USA direct. Most of the cost is probably in 'labor', but FUN > ROI and all that. Does the case provide static discharge protection? I guess that it would since plastic doesn't conduct, but I'm no EE. Technically not - it's PP, but I'm reasonable certain it doesn't have any of the dissipative agents mixed in, so if you're very unlucky you might be able to build up a charge on it or yourself and poke at just the right place to fry something. Testing that requires equipment we certainly don't have laying around You'd have to try pretty hard, though - the way it's in the box you're most likely to grab it either by the USB plug, heat sink or any of the sides, which is all ground plane connected to All The Things™. It's also the same materials combination used in the packaging for the Block Erupter USB, the Antminer U1 and U2 and the iMiner (though that one doesn't count, being enclosed itself). I'm pretty confident none of those 6 are going to come back with tales of rubbing cats on their heads and zapping a something on there |

We are are going to hit a block soon. I say this from experience. I don't just talk the talk.
Given long enough time frames (interpretations of 'soon'), Nostradamus was right about a lot of things, too |

i got a Pv.. key and i dont know how it is private if i get it from some other website.? Right, so in this case - it's not. The service may have the private key as well, which means that any funds you put in the vanity address could be 'stolen' by that service. You should only use third party services if they support split key vanity generation, and then only if you can provide your own public key part. See this recent post for more info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.msg12585605#msg12585605 |

Well that's not quite a vanitygen website, but rather the vanity pool Which is why I figured they should clarify, in case they got their vanity from some site that doesn't use split key (as appears to be the case), etc. |

Now that I've got my stock of Compacs (6 via-via + the 2 direct that I'll keep, bitshopper hasn't opened sales yet unfortunately), I finally updated the packaging stuff. The booklet remains much the same, other than the change in pot direction and a few wording and URL changes. The back now has a bit of text and puts the GekkoScience logo over the heatsink:  I'll send GekkoScience a box along with some other goodies (@sidehack: is the send-from address you've been using also the mailing address to use?). If anybody wanted to use it as a basis for their own, the InkScape design files are up here (for as long as that URL is valid): http://www.filedropper.com/gekkosciencecompacpackaging-quartetsizeThe box is a "quartet" size PP box, which is larger than a poker card size box. The Compac won't fit (well) in most poker size boxes length-wise, so if you were to get boxes, just keep that in mind. Included in the design files: | | front | getting started | clocking | LEDs, FAQ, specs | back opaque | back transparent | foam template | | |  |  |  |  |  | |  |

i tried to generate a vanity addy and after i imported it in BLOCKCHAIN ..but the private key i imported is not really pricate as i am taking it from the vanitygen website ? am i wrong ? There is no "vanitygen website", so you might want to clarify that. In terms of blockchain.info and private keys, they use an encryption scheme where they shouldn't actually ever have your private keys directly. However, this does come with a level of trust - trust that their javascript hasn't been messed with, for example (they offer a browser extension as a way of keeping that separate, for the slightly more paranoid) - as it does with any wallet service (websites and executable binaries alike). Unless you want to use the address in a transaction, you can always add it as a "watch only" address in blockchain.info . |

my guess is in north america with a medical card or grower license. No need to guess; he's mentioned before he's in The Netherlands. As long as it's deemed for personal use and a maximum of 5 plants it's not seen as a commercial venture and all they'll do, if discovered, is take away and destroy the plants - which in practice means cops don't bother even if it's 'in plain view' as it just generates paperwork. Dutch 'gedoogbeleid' is weird that way. |

or temporarily stop the one that's giving the HW errors - it'll be the one that also stops blinking? |

The ASIC's clock -> Gh/s multiplier is 55. 100MHz * 55 = 5500MHz -> 5.5Gh/s So 5.5% is correct..albeit off by a factor 1,000 You're adding an extra step or two to make 55% work, no need to mess around with 1000MHz = 1GH/s conversion like you did.. If you look at the list Phil posted earlier, which I've quoted and editted below, you take the frequency and multiply by 0.055 (5.5%) you get the hash in GH/s. I think you're mildly confused Phil's list is fine, but mentioned 55%, which is incorrect. I said "multiplier is 55", that's not a percentage 100MHz * 55h/Hz = 5500Mh/s or 5.5Gh/s. No extra step there, and no oddball percentage "divide by 100, multiply by 5.5 (aka percentages), then go from Mega to Giga by just substituting strings" |

in one of your Picture not shown here i saw a USB thingie with digital numbers on it what was that i want one.
these search terms will yield many such devices: USB Meter or USB Testere.g. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=usb+meterThere's basic models like the 7-segment ones, slightly fancier ones like that white one with the LCD (I've got one of those) and somewhat expensive but feature-riddled ones. |

Phil dentally picked the right solo pool to use . Dentally? Well I suppose he did sink his teeth into it I initially suggested it because of the relative ease of adding workers, rather than having to assign individual addresses etc. Helps that ck (and kano) are very responsive
I think you mean 5.5% of frequency? Checking the math it comes out to 5.5 at least.
The ASIC's clock -> Gh/s multiplier is 55. 100MHz * 55 = 5500MHz -> 5.5Gh/s So 5.5% is correct..albeit off by a factor 1,000
I was thinking it might also be fun to keep track of who currently has the "best share" reported by the club's address. As of this post the best reported share is 51,471,144. This belongs to philipma1957donation. Strange, though, because FinksySticks shows a higher best share of 65 million, what gives? Maybe the /users/ one gets reset, but /worker/ does not? ck might have to answer that. Right now FinksySticks doesn't show nearly that high of a best share. The bot (ignoring resets) reports:
Top club best shares: valkirstick (891,953,402) philipma1957sticks (216,364,341) fullzerostick (191,610,039) FinksySticks (65,558,032) bmoscatosticks (49,883,780)
Top donator best shares: philipma1957donation (2,366,037,588) philipma1957s7 (1,305,528,734) slimepuppydonation (176,899,661) aarons6 (82,192,528) larry12s5donation (49,990,406)
