I actually had a lot of MCXfees so was interested in checking it out.

Middlecoin officially the worst over the last month.

Any idiots remaining on this pool should reconsider

Since last few days my rejects has gone from around 2-3% to 10%+, wtf is going on?

Nope, tried copper from an ethernet cable and telephone wire, couldn't get neither to work, what about yourself?

I have this board also and have the exact same problem, the 1st 1x slot works fine but the middle 2 1x slots do not work at all. I've also tried shorting the slot and still no go.  Sad

I found a guy, who is using the same board, here's what he told me: "I use PCIE1_1 and PCIE1_3. PCIE1_1 does not need jumper.  PCIE1_3 needs A1B17 jumper" Maybe this helps you



I did try jumping the slot but didn't work for me, maybe I didn't do it properly... will have another go.

Ask him if he is using v1.0 of the board of v2.0, maybe it makes a difference?

Mimiminer that an awesome hashrate!!!! Cheesy my respect can you pls tell me how you set up that much ? Is that about 170  R9 290X in one motherboard ? xD or are scrypte asics outnow Huh

Yes, using a ASIC miner :-). Got 4 of them.

bullshit
9  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: List of motherboard that require shorting pin A1 B17 for pci-e 1x to work. on: December 18, 2013, 10:50:45 PM
Using Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 and can't get all of the 1x slots working.

It has the following ports
x16 x1 x1 x16 x1

both x16 slots work fine with with risers with no shorting required.
the far right x1 slot works with no shorting required.

the middle 2 1x slots I can not get to work at all, even if they are the only slots in use it will never detect the cards, even with shorting, anyone have any ideas?

Ideally I would like a 4x GPU rig using this mobo, so I just need one of the slots to work

Any benefit to using this pool other than hashcows or multipool? These both have smaller fees so I don't understand why people would use middlecoin if they all do the same thing?
11  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] btcolympus.com 28nm Hercules ~500 GH/s ASIC NO PREORDERS! on: December 09, 2013, 03:11:03 PM
Sorry but this looks incredibly scammy.

Offer no pre-orders so that they can create a rush of orders who pay 90% on paypal (covered) and 10% BTC. Then dissapear and run away with the BTC.

It just makes no sense not to offer pre-orders from a business point of view.

BitcoinBlogger has written a nice technical analysis of why the product is a dead-end marketing gimmick not just for Monarchs but also GPU altcoins.

Quote
The danger to GPU miners comes from use of graphics cards that only require 2 x 6 pin PCI-e connectors from the power supply.  The 2 x 6 pin PCI-e connectors only provide a maximum of 200W from the PSU, leaving the rest to be provided by the motherboard.  Cards such as certain models of the HD 7950, only require 2 x 6 pin PCI-e connectors but could potentially pull up to 225W total, leaving 25W to be provided by the motherboard.  If the card is connected to a PCI-e 16x lane with 75W available throughput, then there is no problem; however, if the card is connected by an unpowered PCI-e x1 riser to a PCI-e 1x lane [max throughput of 10W] melting occurs.  ASRock has done a good job making sure that the damage won’t be at the 20+4 pin ATX connector, but the physical risers that must be used, and the soldered PCI-e 1x lanes would all be susceptible to damage.

ASRock has provided the changes to the motherboard hardware necessary to provide as much power to the motherboard as is needed to power 6 GPUs; however, the use of PCI-e 1x lanes again necessitates the use of powered PCI-e risers, which negates the ASRock H81 Pro BTC’s only advantage.  Given the fact that the H81 Pro BTC only has 1 PCI-e 16x lane and 5 PCI-e x1 lanes, users will still run into significant power issues the majority of the time if they try to take advantage of all the motherboard tries to offer for GPU mining.

The Butterfly Monarch (BFL) PCI-e card, scheduled for 2014 delivery, would also be a poor match for this motherboard.  Even assuming that BFL makes their target power consumption of 350W it would be impossible to get 6 Monarchs on one motherboard without having two prohibitively expensive power supplies as well as the necessity for powered risers.  There are dozens of better motherboards [better in this instance means PCI-e 16x lanes instead of PCI-e 1x lanes] for mining.

http://bitcoinblogger.com/asrock-releases-bitcoin-mining-motherboard-1-year-late/


This bitcoinblogger post is COMPLETELY wrong that "the use of PCI-e 1x lanes again necessitates the use of powered PCI-e risers". There is absolutely zero improvements to power supply that a PCIe x16 connector would bring to a PCIe x1 connector. Both have 5 lines providing +12V (B1-B3, A2-A3). Both PCIe x16 and x1 have the same current capacity. Both can melt if too much amps are drawn. I say this as the person who first documented to this community the ability to down-plug x16 cards into x1 slots.


Are you saying powered risers are not needed for 1x > 16x?

When I bought in I always took the view that it was a binary bet. I looked at bitcoin in 5 years as either being worth $10,000+ or $0. That said, I am a believer in its usefulness and am going to hang on for the next several years. In my opinion you need to take a view, put your money behind it and then wait it out. There’s nothing to be gained by trying to time the market imho. 

You can say that about anything.

would like access to the main forums please, ordered an ASIC and would like to talk about it! (KNC Neptune)

Thanks

Been lurking for a while but never really bought into mining, I have the funds to preorder the new neptune KNC miner which is 3000GHz, but having second thoughts.

I would post on the KNC thread but my account is locked to this sub forum!
