1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Bitcoin Cash - Fork 1:1 of Bitcoin - Pro on-chain scaling on: August 02, 2017, 07:27:52 PM
Once particular thing with BCash compared to other altcoins (supposing no premine) is that most of the coins are already spread between many, many wallets (any BTC holder), and the remaining money supply is relatively scarce (like BTC, again, 4.5M/21M coins).

IMHO, that makes BCash an ideal candidate for pump and dumps, or more graciously, "ballooning between cryptos".

I won't dump mine too fast. Let's be honest, I would have if I had it in an exchange, but by the time the shockwave of the dumpers has already hit the viable exchanges, you are condemned to land in a massively oversold market.

Let's see what the future holds I guess Cheesy

In case someone missed connecting the dots, the people that have 10k+ BTC in their wallets, now have 10k+ BCH.  So, the rich are now almost 2x rich.  Congrats to the split proponents for helping them out.  

Also, I wonder how many of the BTC that were stolen over the years are going to become active since they are now on a separate 'chain.  I suppose they could be traced just the same, but it's still an intriguing thought.

Put me down for one kit, please.  Shipped to US.  PM with BTC payment address or PayPal.

I have the S1 controller board and the S3 hash boards. 
I have S1 cables too, so do I need new ones for this to work?

Also, has anyone ran the S3 boards without the chip-side heatsinks?
This will probably be ran at a lower clock/voltage/GHs so I'm hoping it can be ran without them.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah, sorry, I thought it might have been.

Carry on......

I know this is kind of off topic (and it may have been asked before), but have you looked at updating to the new BM1385 on the next run (v2)?  
I guess what I am asking is if the pin-out would be the same, could it be a "drop in" replacement?  
That, of course, being if you could source them.
Edit for brainstorm.... since the 1385 chip is so "low power", could you duplex them on a single USB stick?

With you working on the driver, I have a question. 
Since these chips are usually ran in a chain, and you are talking about icarus options, can you specify commands where, say you have 4 sticks, it will work on a portion of the hash/block/calculation, instead of the whole block? 
You know, like the antminers do currently using commands via cgminer. Example: --bitmain-options 115200:32:8:15

Thoughts?  Would that add to the efficiency?

If no one has any S3 parts, I'll take C1 parts too.
I can make it work.
7  Economy / Computer hardware / WTB - Antminer S3 controller/adapter board on: July 07, 2015, 12:17:48 PM
Hello all!

I need an adapter board for an S3.  This is needed for one of my S3-from-S1 upgrade units.
The controller works fine, but the adapter board between the hash boards and the controller quit.
Or if you have a regular S3 that the hash boards have failed, that controller would be good too.

Does anyone out there have any S3 parts lying around?

Thanks!

Has there been any more info on who is what here?  Are they wanting to stay private and mine just for themselves?
If I could find one of the pools that merge mine (that isn't tiny), I'd move all of machines over.  About 5 TH worth.

Network sufficiently decentralised after merge mining implementation. It looks pretty good to me so far. Network is secure. One can sink money into that imo.

@Crackfoo

I mine with xpool.ca currently for x11.  I see that you/they pay out a bunch of different coins, but not UNO.
If I read your posts correctly, you currently are mining it.  Are you planning on adding payouts in UNO?

Thanks.

EDIT: oops, i think i found it.  maybe.

EDIT 2: I see you have to select it under the SHA256 mining section.  duh, merged mining, etc., etc.
nevermind me.  I'll go get more coffee now....

Thanks for the update.  I'll keep an eye out here for info.

Hello all....

Has anyone found any updated info on which pool is the unknown one listed here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/uno/#!extraction??

I'd like to be able to mine, and not be part of a pool that takes weeks to just find one block.

Thanks.
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [UNO] Unobtanium Info & Discussion - Miners Update to 0.10 on: May 13, 2015, 02:06:11 PM
Greetings everyone!

I have been mining UNO for over a year now as side project for my older miners on coinmine.pl.
Now that the hard fork has happened, it's like everything has stopped.
Is there are list of pools that are up and running that offer MM (that doesn't charge a huge fee)?
Or is MMPOOL.org the bet option right now?

Thanks for the info!

Hello everyone!

Is it just me, or has there been a steady drop in hashrate here? 
I know globally it has been up and down, but usually here it stays fairly constant.
Thoughts?

Thanks!

Greetings all.

I am having a problem with my balance (wallet) not wanting to stake.  All of my transaction are over 24hrs, and the oldest is about a week.
Wallet is synced and online/unlocked (for staking only).  I see others have had this problem, but what corrected their problem?

Thanks for the help.

Good to know.  I've never gotten into the analytics of mining, so I was just going off what was listed on the site.
With that said, it still can be inferred that luck decreases as difficulty goes up.  And I think we have seen that in the recent weeks.  More shares are needed to keep the blocks coming in at a steady rate
16  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [1450 TH] BitMinter.com [1% PPLNS,Pays TxFees +MergedMining,Stratum,GBT,vardiff] on: July 19, 2014, 01:47:31 AM
This is an average of the luck percentages listed on the block timeline.
If you go back to May 15,the luck goes to 46.81 and average work per block goes to 9,886,480,396
Isn't lower better with regards to that number
17  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [1450 TH] BitMinter.com [1% PPLNS,Pays TxFees +MergedMining,Stratum,GBT,vardiff] on: July 18, 2014, 08:58:35 PM
for those interested, I have done some mild number crunching based on the data from the block timeline on the bitminter site.

back to June 10th, give or take a day, here are the averages.  (this does not include the two orphaned blocks, or the stale one, as I did not know how to factor that in.)

average work per block found  |  average difficulty    |  average luck  |  average THps
13,122,789,965.68                 |    14,313,410,979    |         47.47%  |       1,329.96

I couldn't get time because excel is a pain.

EDIT: If anyone would like the file, I can get it to you somehow.

I would have to agree here.  It does seem that the pool's luck is spotty at best.
2 days to make a block (sometimes) are seemingly way too long.
The payouts are decent, but the time between them are discouraging.
19  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Hacking a BFL Jalapeno to 32GH and beyond....(???) on: May 27, 2014, 12:34:38 PM
Thanks very much for the info.  That's pretty much what I thought, but was getting confirmation from the experts.

Thanks again!
20  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Hacking a BFL Jalapeno to 32GH and beyond....(???) on: May 23, 2014, 03:09:29 PM
Greetings all!  I know that it may be a bit odd for my first post to be in the hardware section, but that's me.  Straight to it.

I recently have gotten into the mining scene (about 4ish months) by picking up a 10gh Jalapeno and a few Antminer U2s.  20gh total.
Nothing spectacular, but fun nonetheless.
And, yes, I know, late to the party, so to speak.

Now, I started doing some looking and ran across this thread about mod'ing the Jalapenos for moar power, as it were.
This was after I got to thinking about the fact that if this Jalapeno was orig a 5gh (plate on the back says 5), what was done to get it to 10.  I don't have any equip/software to really do any kind of diag on this thing, so I am going to ask the experts.

So, my here's my question, is it worth messing with this unit by adding chips, etc. to get it up to say 20+, or just keep rocking it as is?
It currently is a 3 chip unit.  After taking the cover off, it dropped from 60+C, down to avg'ing 48C.  The error rate stays at a steady 3.8%.  I am not sure if there is room for improvement currently, or not.
Also, when you first kick it off, there is some garbage that shows up in the mining client.  Both, BFG and the Bitminter app.  I've read that may be the FTDI chip, but I could be mistaken.


Thanks y'all!
