Affect versus Effect.
For some reason I always have trouble with effect versus affect. I suggest we replace both words with offect, which would be much easier and more offective  I like this idea. Next, we should replace ensure and insure with ansure, and than and then with thun. English teachers will find their jobs much easier. Next up, eliminating apostrophe's... |

Is there something going on with the site?
I haven't received any payouts all day today. The last one I received was from yesterday, and the transactions on my account match my wallet.
Thanks
There haven't been any blocks found today. |

The setup that's been most stable for me is setting it to use 2 different servers. Because I want it to stay on 1 pool, I set it to use a stratum proxy for 1 of the servers, and connect directly to the getwork server on the same pool for the other server. It switches itself back and forth every so often, but doesn't stop hashing and restart.
That's the trick! Server with 2 NICs on 2 different IP's but same port. Switches between the two but dosent reset! My blades have been rebooting every hour to the second since I got them. This suggestion is what worked for me with a few changes. Evidently the blades do not like having the same server IP address listed for primary and secondary. What I did was bind a second IP address to the same NIC on my Linux box running the stratum proxy. Changed the secondary address on the blade to the new secondary IP bound on the stratum proxy and problem gone. Thanks to bluedragon and gbsray for pointing me in the right direction. I changed my config back to 2 pools and it's been stable, not restarting and not switching servers hourly. I have no idea why it's staying on 1 pool now, and wasn't before. The difference in my config this time is that I started a second stratum proxy listening on a different port (same IP address) for my backup pool, instead of using 1 stratum proxy and 1 getwork server. I just don't get it. Edit: fixed (I hope) a missing closing quote tag that was messing things up. |

It's easy to picture the ASIC manufacturers mining with customers' equipment for as long as they can before shipping, but I don't think it's actually all that easy to pull off.
Getting caught would likely mean big fines or a PR nightmare. They would somehow have to hide it from the majority of employees so the secret doesn't get out.
You're new here so you missed all the scamming. Big fines? By who? Avalon mined with their customers equipment for months and then shipped the units which had obvious signs of use. Users even found their machines configured to mine on pools and when the addresses were checked they saw the machines mined for weeks-months and payments sent to Avalon. Hence the hatred of all things Avalon and Yifu. BFL is suspected of doing the same but no confirmation with definitive proof as far as I know. They shipped units that have build dates from weeks prior. And they're suspected of giving their COO and other privileged people mining equipment ahead of paying queued customers. Then there are the fails and scams companies which just run away with money like bASIC. None of these companies have paid any regulatory agency a single penny. PR nightmare? Doesn't stop BFL and Avalon from selling to new users  Thanks for the examples. I guess it's easier to get away with than I thought  |

I've had some trouble with my blade restarting too. When I first set it up, it restarted every 5-7 minutes. After cycling the power off and on, it stayed up without restarting for a few hours. In my case, if it gets to the 8 minute mark, it will stay up.
It stayed up for over a week until I manually restarted it today (moved it to my backup pool for a while), and I noticed it restarting itself every 5-7 minutes again. It was okay again after I moved it back to my main pool.
I also noticed that it switches pools about every hour. (Which is annoying because I'd like to set a backup pool, but it seems to load balance instead.)

I am a newb ! I was referred here from the http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=359431. I think I am stuck on a bad block on bitminter using my asic blade (current accepted pofs is at 100k+ with nothing in my wallet). My worker is making progress (0.00043466 expected per block) but I am getting minimal returns because it seems like each block is like 24 hours and 100k+ proofs of work. I am running at 99 % efficiency. The first day I got 0.01 btc. Second day when this 24 hour no-cashout or neverending block thing started I only recieved 1/4 of that. So I am thinking that something isn't working right. Any help is appreciated! Bitminter pays when blocks are found, rather than when shares are submitted, so you'll see your balance jump up rather than increase steadily. The amount you receive per block is calculated from the amount of work you submitted in the last 10 shifts. If you activate the prepay perk (requires a donation), you will get paid right away, otherwise you'll get paid after the block has 120 confirmations. |

Has anybody gotten a payout today? Mine is unconfirmed as well. Maybe something to do with the craziness, more people moving around btc? I notice there's no fee on the transaction - that def slows it down.
I got a payout about 10 hours ago with no problem. |

Ha ha, I glanced up at my computer earlier and this is what I saw...  |

Personal Assets Balance Unconfirmed Future Expected per block
Would you consider a "confirmed" colum that shows what's been confirmed but just not added to account balance yet ? I suspect you could even have it to show the "true" balance, by that I mean confirmed stuff thats yet to be paid but has fees aalready deducted.
I think that's what "balance" shows now... confirmed payout with fees/donations already deducted. |

How are you getting 10%? 1667/(142216+1667) = 0.0116 or about 1.16% stales, not 10%.
Edit: Oh, you're talking about SS:. What do you have scantime set to? Try setting it to 30. Also try upgrading to 3.3.1.
Also I see you're using I:20. What happens when you decrease intensity to 13?
I'll try those settings for a while and let you know. Thank you. It looks like the default scan time is 30. Changing to I:13 for 2 hours, I had 994 accepted, 26 rejected, and 4 SS discarded, so about 2.9%. But, my hashrate dropped from a hair over 1 MH to about 632 KH. I'll experiment with the intensity more later and see if maybe I can find a happy medium. With cgminer 3.3.1 (and I:20) for 3 hours, 2661 accepted, 20 rejected, and 124 discarded, about 5%. I'll leave this running until tomorrow and get a longer average before I change any settings. Thanks for the suggestions, it gives me somewhere to start. After 6 hours during the day today, I had 28% stale shares, using cgminer 3.3.1 and all the same settings as before.  I changed the intensity to 17 and ended up with 1.8% after another 5 hours, while only reducing my hashrate by 100-120 KH/s. But it looks like I'm getting around the same number of accepted shares, since my hashrate on the website is about the same (maybe even a little higher). Thanks Flound! |

How do you pronounce ixcoin?
ICKS-coin, NINE-coin, or EYE-EX-coin?
I don't know what it's supposed to be, but I read it as ICKS-coin. |

ANN2 will be CPU, GPU and Asic resistance. It can only be mined with sound cards.
Let me enterprise an ANN miner prototype.  I'll take 8! When will the preorders ship? |

This is my garage 2x7970 miner with 1 month uptime on pool1.us.
Efficiency: 99.39%
The speed is not as high as it could be, due to the summer weather I have it underclocked and undervolted.
How do you have so few stales? I have about 10% stale shares. Where are you? Northeastern US, using pool1.us. I usually see a couple of shares discarded when there's a new block, and occasionally a couple submitted and rejected with "Job not found". What's your miner setup? 2x 7950's. cgminer --scrypt --gpu-engine 300-1050 --gpu-memclock 1400 --auto-gpu --temp-target 78 -I 20 -g 1 -o stratum+tcp://pool1.us.multipool.us:7777 -u bluedragon.rig1 -p xxx --no-submit-stale 2>log.txt  |

More Cloudflare errors. Wow, if this keeps up I'm heading back to BTCGuild... BTC-E was giving Cloudflare errors yesterday also, so may have been a problem at Cloudflare rather than Bitminter. |
