Yes, it's called Auto MDI-X and as long as at least one side of the link has the capability, it doesn't matter whether you have a crossover cable or a straight-through cable, the interface will sense it and act accordingly. The speed and duplex need to be Auto.

Hi folks, given the above, I have thus calculated EVERY POSSIBLE valid frequency and register value. I don't know about the time out, so for that I just used JakeTri's timeout formula to get the time out and then took the integer value:

For the above paste, in the interest of space I only presented speeds up to 400.

Note that if the frequency does not show on this list, it does NOT exist, (except for ones above 400mhz) as these values were calculated from EVERY possible binary value of the register, then filtered for valid values based on the criteria in the datasheet.

I do not know the implications of the Fref and Fvco values, so I sorted everything from lowest to highest. For a clock speed of 200mhz is it best to use a Fvco of 800 or 1600? furthermore, within those results, is it best for Fref to be 12.5 or 25? Given BitMain's example in the datasheet, evidence would suggest they want us sticking in the low range bank, with Fref=25. If there's any good reason for that then that reduces the possibilities to:

But i imagine people are willing to try other than just these values, since folks are asking for speeds between 237.5 and 250 (the only one is 243.75 but with two options) and i assume 243.75 has been tried/tested by now?

I can post my excel file so people can check my work, and/or if people want to see valid chip speeds up to 3000mhz (i'm pretty sure you will NOT be able to run at 3000mhz! so don't get any bright ideas)

I believe that at some unknown point in the future, largely (if not entirely) due to reward halving, mining will cease to be a profit-based bitcoin-generating activity, and will become a cost-based transaction-processing activity. I fully expect motivations to change drastically when that time comes. By then, I won't be surprised to see a different pattern.

I've been mining on ghash.io since i sold off my ghs from cex.io to buy into my own asic hardware. At about 1.8 TH/s i've been pulling down about .034 to .036 or so per day. You said "best conditions" and by your numbers i should be getting 0.048312 per day. So if i assume NOT "best conditions" then should i think .036 instead of 0.048312 is reasonable?

also, something that might affect it - i've been mining on cex/ghash for about 8 months, and plotting/graphing the entirety of it for analysis purposes. The thing that i have found to be very intriguing is that when the difficulty changes, it really doesn't seem to have much affect on my mining production. like literally at all. with a slow decay in production over time, it's almost as though they linearize the decay that happens due to difficulty drop, and by that i mean make it into a constant decay rather than a stepped change like difficulty by adjusting based on the expected difficulty change which is amazingly accurate, especially the closer it gets to the actual diff change. my theory is that this is how they make their profit since they have a 0% pool fee. and honestly, i kinda like it... i'm ok with them making their profit in an innovative way outside the box of what everyone would normally assume.

if this is true, then it means what you should be getting vs. what you are actually getting would be different immediately before and immediately after a diff change.

whether i could and/or should be getting that extra 0.012312 per day, well, i have to do some analysis on that. when i'm not focused on building out my mining op i'll spend some time deciding whether to go to another pool and which one. but i like the fact that ghash is tied to cex, and the reason i got into cex was not specifically for the cloud mining but rather the commodity trading of ghs. regardless of the fact that their ghs is more expensive than hardware, regardless of how much i had, i was able to nearly double and quadruple it by seizing lucrative trading opportunities. because of that i was able to make thousands of $USD worth of bitcoin in profit, and sell out to by 20 s3's this week.

Maybe I'm just old-fashioned.



I'm guessing that at some point in technology history, someone must have thought "no, we don't need to do that..."

why is this so common? It seems I only started seeing this when I got started with bitcoin.
