Hey Wizkid Don't let life get you down - no pain lasts forever. Thanks for Eligius. Chuckie Can you please let me know the best way to contact a pool administrator regarding an unpaid balance from well over a year ago? I meant to contact someone during the pool upgrade a while back, but read that all payments were going to be settled. Unfortunately, I never received my payment although my current balance is 0.01259032 BTC, and would appreciate a PM from @ wizkid057 (or any other trusted persons who are authorized to help resolve payment issues). Looking forward to hearing back soon, and appreciate your assistance regarding this matter - Thanks! Not sure where you're getting your number from, but the frozen stats pages do not represent balances as they were at the Eligius Ra->Hu transition. Every single balance due has been paid. All Eligius miners are paid in full with the minor exception for those who are/were active since the Hu transition and have balances below ~0.01 BTC. Aside from that, Eligius has no balances due to miners at present. Zero. Nada. Zip. I've wasted enough time verifying and debunking people's claims about how Eligius owes them something. I'm simply not going to put any additional effort into such claims at this point and will be ignoring them from now on. I already knew for a fact that Eligius has paid all miners due any payment, and I've reconfirmed this at least a dozen times in the past month or so when I've gotten messages from people claiming to be owed something. I was happy to investigate and show they were incorrect, but I'm not going to waste any more effort doing so in the future. I'm actually finding it kind of funny that people are coming out of the woodwork now that bitcoin/USD exchange is pretty high asking about balances from ages ago that were either already paid or not due in the first place. Some of the stories people give when trying to cheat me/Eligius out of a few bucks are pretty incredible, too. Some are pretty amusing. My favorite is one where this guy on IRC needed 0.001 BTC that Eligius "owed" him (already paid, actually, like a year ago) or else he was going to default on his mortgage, be evicted, etc... sitting on a Comcast residential internet connection. Sorry, if you can afford to sit there on the internet and try to scam me out of five bucks, you either can actually afford to pay your bills, or you need to get your priorities straight. Either way, not my problem. *sigh* --- For those wondering what the deal is with Eligius lately, it's pretty much my fault things have not been moving forward. Not that it's anyone's business here, but pretty much as soon as I got time to work on finishing the pool software things started taking a bad turn in several aspects of my life. Most notable is that I'm dealing with what is turning into an overly messy divorce, and that is taking up a great deal of my free time since my ex-wife-to-be seems to have lost her mind and is just making things as difficult as they possibly can be, even in self-defeating ways. I also had a problem with a large contract job that I completed recently, and dealing with that is taking significant time, effort, and funds to battle. Long story short, my customer is making pretty outrageous claims that are clearly and provably false. Nevertheless, going to have to battle them in court over this. (All of this is unrelated to Eligius, just to note). I have been putting time into the pool, mostly for maintenance and updates lately. But after the first couple of days of full-time effort on completing the upgrades I've not had enough of a free moment of work time to really dedicate to it. I am really trying to get things back on track here, and I do appreciate the support folks have shown through what has become a pretty ridiculous delay in upgrades here. Unfortunately, the pool hasn't found a block in over three months, and with the network difficulty where it is I'm not even sure where that would put us even if I were to complete the new interface tomorrow. I've been tossing around some ideas on how to proceed, as I'd prefer Eligius not simply die off if I don't have the time to dedicate to it as I should. One such idea would be to get Luke-Jr back on board, if he is at a point where he would have the time to work on Eligius again, at least until I get out of this rut of mine. (Do wish him well, by the way, as he is likely going to get at least some impact from Irma soon.) An alternative plan would be to hire some trusted developers to complete the work I've started, however I'm probably not in a situation where it would be sensible of me make that significant of a donation to Eligius. Overall, I'm pretty much left with just working hard to get other things out of the way so I can make time to work on this and get it done. |

Hi
I don't bother with the protocol specifier - for me its just...
/usr/bin/cgminer -o stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u 17BHMcuCNmo8REbmQyaLLqwGWbqX7jbH2P
...that's the linux command (hence the /usr/bin and no .exe)

Your programmer might have created a log file. Do
ps aux | grep cgminer
You should see one or two processes doing the mining (and the ps you just did).
Now put the number from the second column (its the process ID) into this command:
ls -l /proc/[YOUR-PROCESS-ID/fd
This will list the files your miner script has open. Note that you will probably need root permissions for this command (use sudo or su or just log in as root). Look for one that looks like a log file!
What I see is this...
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Feb 15 08:09 0 -> /dev/null
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 15 08:09 1 -> /var/log/cgminer.1.log
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Feb 15 08:09 10 -> /usr/bin/cgminer
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 15 08:09 2 -> socket:[27286]
So all I have to do now is
tail -f /var/log/cgminer.1.log
and I can see my stats locally.

Can somebody help me with PWM fans? I've bought 2 Thermalright TY 143s for my S5. When I plug one into the 2nd fan header it spins up to 1200RPM and stays there. As far as I can tell the pinouts are standard: | Pin | Use | Wire (new) | Wire (stock) | | 1 | GND | Black | Black | | 2 | +12v | Yellow | Red | | 3 | Sense | Green | White | | 4 | Control | Blue | Blue |
Why won't my fan do more than 1200RPM? What I want to do is replace the stock fan with both 143s (push-pull) but they won't do the job at this speed. |

True aarons6 - but not completey. The /config partition is not overwritten - I'm just working on figuring out passwordless ssh. If I can crack that I'll create some tools that can run externally  |

Hi All I've published a couple of scripts on github that you can use to automatically adjust your AntMiner config. One is called AntRota - it changes the config on an hour by hour basis (to take account of when ambient temperatures will allow over-clocking or times when you want less noise). The other is AntThrottle, which automatically reduces the clock speed if your miner gets too hot. Check it out here: https://github.com/minerchuck/AntMusic. Chuckie |

I got a 100G increase in hash rate by changing the clock from 350 to 400 - but this did increase temps by 3 degrees and I think I got more 'don't match task_buffer_match' on one of the chips so I reduced back to 350 as advised.# Correct me if I'm wrong but does ch1-as29: dev->task_buffer_wr{0x000034df}rd{0x00003b43}ret work_id{0xbab6} don't match task_buffer_match{0x3ab6} mean ASIC chip 29 on chain 1 is faulty? It looks like its flipping a bit (0xb is 0x8 above 0x3 - all occurrences of this message in my kernel log are on ch1-as29 and all of them have the same difference between the two values - this would correspond to bit 4 in the first byte being 1 when it should be 0 or 0 when it should be 1 - I am guessing that this will happen 50% of the time - since its binary - and affects 1 out of 60 ASICs - since that's how many the S5 has, so I am getting an error in less than 1% of my hardware). Also, top tip for you all: if your miner struggles to start mining, but does eventually, you may have a DNS problem. This happened to me - I have mine on a TPLink Powerline to my ADSL router and when it comes up I got no ping for quite a while - 10 minute or so. I guessed this was down to the miner's DHCP configuration and sure enough. adding a name server to /etc/resolv.conf got ping working. So if you get this problem and want to fix it, do this.... ssh to your miner: root@myhost:~# ssh root@antminer.local (or its IP address if your router doesn't give it a name) password is 'admin' root@antMiner:~# vi /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script add dns="8.8.8.8 8.8.8.4" to the file before the 'exec run-parts' line and save the change. Now, when DHCP sets up your interface it will add these two IP addresses as name servers in /etc/resolv.conf. Try it by running root@antMiner:~# udhcpc You should see.... root@antMiner:~# udhcpc udhcpc (v1.20.2) started Sending discover... Sending select for 192.168.1.66... Lease of 192.168.1.66 obtained, lease time 86400 /etc/udhcpc.d/50default: Adding DNS 8.8.8.8 /etc/udhcpc.d/50default: Adding DNS 8.8.8.4 |

I have had no satisfaction from BitMain and have decided to give up trying - at least I'll save myself the cost of shipping the other blown board to them for them to ignore.
I got two new boards from the very satisfactory Centrix International. I also bought their panel kit - it looks very smart and my new S5 is cooler and quieter than before, even with the stock fan.
Now all I need is advice - I will trawl this BB for answers to:
1) What do I do with the new % fan speed option? Is it safe to drop it very low if the temp stays low?
2) How about controlling heat and noise by under-clocking (to keep the noise level down at night time)?
3) Will two of these be better than the stock fan: 2 x Scythe Ultra Kaze Fan 3000 rpm 120 x 120 x 38 mm? Can I run safely on one of these?
4) How far should I push the clock when nobody is in earshot and going to be annoyed by the noise? Is it just a matter of going as high as I can without passing 70 degrees?
If I can't find the answers on this BB but find them elsewhere I will update. If you know the answers please let me know.
Fingers crossed there will be no more blow-outs!
Sorry BitMain - 'support' is not the correct word for what you give us after you sell us your products.

Just wanted to share. I have a broken S5. One of the two boards overheated and stopped mining. I contacted Bitmain and they asked me to sent it to them. I asked if I could run the unit with only one board and was told that I could. They have had the board since August but I have not heard from them. The other board stopped working after a couple of weeks too. I reported this but still no reply. This is not good enough.

Thanks Onkel - I had a feeling in would be bad news (but cheap as you say).
I do have a backup but I don't know if it was from the right time (the one with this receiving address). To try it would I: stop bitcoin-qt, copy the wallet.dat from the old bitcoin folder to the new one and restart bitcoin-qt? If this is the correct procedure would I then be able to see the receiving address somewhere?a

Hi All I think the answer to this is bad luck - but just in case.... I mined some shares with deepbit.net and have been paid to an address I created in bitcoin-qt. My PC died and my wallet was not backed up (in fact I never even saw these payments hit my wallet). I can see my 100ths here: https://blockexplorer.com/address/1BDJhFtrQhHay54aDQKxAszMM7cePz7xPFIt is possible to claim these and put them in a new wallet or are they lost for ever? I'm a real novice and I don't fully understand. Thanks |
