I have a payout from Bitminter that is still unconfirmed after 17 hours. And I have no explanation why my previous 4 payouts (1 per day) have confirmed in less than an hour, but this one is being treated different. What changed?
The maximum size of each bitcoin block is limited to 1 megabyte. This is enforced by the client. It's up to each miner (which means a pool operator or solo miner) to set their policy for what transactions get included in their blocks. They can even choose not to include any. It could be that there are a lot of competing transactions that keep yours from getting picked up, or a lot of blocks are being mined by miners with more selfish policies that don't choose to include [m]any transactions. Also the network hashrate seems to have stabilized now, so the network is about back to the intended 1 block per 10 minutes, rather than 1 per 7 minutes or so that we saw as the hashrate was climbing. (This issue would be a lot less severe if we could somehow get rid of SatoshiDice, which spams the blockchain with tons of useless transactions.)

blockchain.info will refund to the sender after 36-48 hours or so if no miner is kind enough to include it in a block.
Troll much, or are you just misinformed? You have a different answer? Please utter it. 2 bashes now on Paladin69, (who was nice enough to answer) ...without ANY explanation.... **** Thanks guys... I really feel informed now... The easiest option is to continue to wait. No, an "automatic refund" will never happen. The only other option, which requires a good bit of technical skill, is for the sender to manually create a new transaction that spends the same inputs, but also includes a tx fee, and hope a miner picks that one up instead (which will then invalidate the original transaction). Technically you could say the funds are still in the sender's wallet, but since the transaction has been broadcast, a miner could pick it up at any time and move the funds out to their intended destination address.

Wtf are those tiny dies?
That sure is a weird design. Good luck getting all of those tiny packages to make good thermal contact with a monolithic heatsink. Each group will be putting out a nominal 175W TDP, and that's *if* they hit their energy efficiency target. They've not done to well in that area historically, to put it mildly.

I modified driver-klondike.c in my cgminer source, changing KLN_KILLWORK_TEMP to 67.5. So far they're doing fine like that. I have them sitting in front of a boxfan.
How did you do this You running Ubuntu or Windows. I'm running teh Linux. Yes, Ubuntu actually in this case. The same change should work on Windows, *if* you are building cgminer from source. If you're just downloading the already-compiled cgminer binary .exe and running it, you will not be able to make the change. You need to change it in the source and recompile. I wish the cgminer devs would make it a runtime option, or at least change the compile-time default to a higher value.

Dr you think this is a worthwhile investment by the time these actually ship in February? Difficulty predicted at 2 billion.
That's anyone's guess. Every investment carries risk. Personally I ordered an X3 shortly after they became available for purchase, but try not to let my decision sway you. I have some Black Arrow Lancelots to trade-in, which helped to make it a better deal for me.

You don't need any special cgminer options unless you want to change the clockspeed or target temperature. See the ASIC-README file included with cgminer if you want to experiment with those.
All you need to do is need to specify --enable-klondike when building cgminer.
The USB connector is a regular mini-USB. Same as is on an Icarus, Lancelot, Ztex, Cairnsmore1, Chili, all BFL products, and about every other USB miner ever made (Bitburners being one exception).

Nice design but pick another chip, why would you want to support scammers with an inefficient chip. avalon screwed enough people here already, please don't help them screw more. I have to agree. Avalon/BitSyncom deserves zero support from the community they have screwed over repeatedly, all while continuing to show no remorse. They even call us losers. I personally will not buy such a board because of this, no matter how attractive the pricing.

I try identify the form factor of the USB connection on the board. Is it mini USB .... or micro USB?
one4many
It's a 5 pin Mini-B. Nice. That's what all the other USB miners I have use *except* for my bitburner which uses a micro. I much prefer the mini-style.
