Giving it a whirl because I'm drunk, and why the hell not!

(those 100 FRQ transactions were me before I stopped to read the rules! )

I've never seen anything like this! I've given up on pool mining it now, as it seems every time I check one of my VPS, it's been disconnected for half a day.
If you do manage to set up a pool that you're confident will have decent uptime, please drop me a PM...

"difficulty" : 107774.00215804

 

$10?... $17 per PRT?... Seriously???!?!?!!

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of this coin and will be holding on to the 70k I've got from mining, but I have no delusions that it'll make me a millionaire...

Its a ridiculously lazy copy and paste imitation of QRK.

How long have you left them running? It can take hours for it to even out on mine...
I managed to find the following explanation of the three columns on google, which helped me understand things a bit better (still getting my head around it all though!);

"5 second exponentially decaying average hash rate / An all time average hash rate / An all time average hash rate based on actual nonces found, adjusted for pool reject and stale rate"

I can't believe people are still replying to this with their wallet addresses... Hilarious!!! 

To the moon would be nice, but right now I'm just happy that it's pulled itself out of the gutter! Anybody who picked it up at the crazy lows recently should be able to almost double their investment! Wish I'd gone with my gut and bought a load more...

Man, that sounds like a horrible thing to have to live with... Kudos for picking yourself back up and just getting on with things!

I was using v3 of nwools' bfgminer build, but have just switched over to v3.10.0 of the official build which seems to be working equally well (get it here)

Before using it you need to go into device manager and uninstall the drivers for each antminer (make sure you tick the box to delete the drivers when you do it), then install the VCP driver again. When you've done that, unplug the hub and plug it back in and it should detect the antminers again.
You don't need to mess around with that zadig nonsense now... It should be ready to rock if you just run bfgminer with a command line like the following;


Enjoy the playoffs!

I'm relatively new to mining so may just be being a bit stupid here, but I really don't understand what's going on with the difficulty of this coin... If it retargets every block, then surely it should be a hell of a lot higher than 56?!
Is this coin fundamentally broken, or am I missing something here?...

@korxax
These things can certainly cause a few headaches at first!!!!
Strange that you're having power issues like that - I've had no issues plugging three of them at a time into my PC's front USB 2 and 3 ports. (Asus P8Z68-V mobo and a Fractal Design R4 case)
I've also had no issues running five of them at once on a powered D-Link hub with a 4a power supply... Maybe check the rating on your hub's power supply.

I'd advise strongly against using cgminer... The driver support is horrible!
I'm using BFG at the moment and have a batch file set up to start mining when the PC is turned on - no intervention needed, it just works!!!

Still haven't received my bonus one... Could I get a tracking number for it asap?

Doesn't seem to be sorted to me... I just did a new installation and had to copy dimecoin.conf from the wallet folder into %appdata%\roaming\dimecoin before it got any connections.

Is there a daemon available for this coin by any chance? Left a machine solo mining and would like to set up a batch to send x amount of DIME to my other wallet every few hours...

I would advise against even bothering with 2.2, I tried it on mine and results were unstable to say the least!!! cgminer didn't even want to recognise most of my devices, and bfgminer had ridiculous error rates (compared to 0 errors when solo mining an altcoin @ 2.0 overnight)
2.0 is still a pretty decent overclock imo considering the price of these things!

Are you definitely using an up to date version of nwools' bfgminer or Luke's release from yesterday and the following in your command line;

--set-device antminer:clock=x0981 (for 2.0)
--set-device antminer:clock=x0A81 (for 2.2)

100,000 DIME

Just look at all of those zeroes! You know you want to!!!

Trust me, you weren't missing much! The difficulty at the time went through the roof, so any dreams about being in first and mining craploads were dashed straight away...

I still mined a lot more than I do these days of course, but nowhere near as much as I expected to!

What's the frequency for 2.2GH/s? For some reason I thought 0981(2GH/s) was the limit without modifications...
Logically I would assume 1081, but these things aren't always logical!!

Mine are cool as a cucumber at 2, so I might as well push them a bit harder!

Yeah, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense!!
I also unplugged my LCD display this morning to see if that makes a difference (also because my GF wasn't particularly happy with my dodgy soldering being plugged in 24/7!!)

@cs2000

The cron jobs are nice to have, but it looks like watchdog is the one that's helping me out the most, so I'd definitely advise trying that out.
Just Google "watchdog raspberry pi" and you'll find a few tutorials. Instead of using 1 min/24 load, I changed mine to 5 min/70 load.
I've now been mining for about 18 hours with 2 auto reboots thanks to Watchdog.

+1 to that!
Mine were too hot too touch without a fan (way too many "hot potato" moments), but with an arctic cooling breeze fan pointed at them, they're practically cold to the touch now! (each one at 2GH/s and VERY close together on the hub)
