Personally I am glad to have some heavy hitters in the pool.
This. Plus the faster they mine, the quicker we find blocks, which means quicker payouts as Eligius pays out on the block.

Thanks for the reply HellDiverUK.
Which route, in terms of new hardware then, would you suggest I take to achieve over 100GH? Excuse my ignorance on the BTC decimal system, but just to be sure, is the BTC1 you mine in 5 weeks a full BTC at 600+ USD?
Over 100GH? You could look for some used hardware like the Bitburner Fury (two boards would give you 100GH, and they're quite cheap). The Antminer S1 is 180GH and it's about 1.9BTC (which works out about $1500). Yes, BTC1 is the full bitcoin that's around $700. If you go to http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty you can fill in your hashrate in the boxes on the top right, and it'll tell you how much you're likely to mine in a period of time.

Neil, there's some bizarre spelling on the Plugins page. Otherwise everything is trucking along like a champ.

Is this version allready availabel with the git pull update command??
You have to download the image again.

With 3.7MH, unless you live in a time warp and are posting from 2012, is totally pointless. You're wasting your time and power.
I'm running 120GH and it takes me 5 weeks to mine BTC1.
You'll never mine anything, ever with 3.7MH. It works out you'll mine 2.5 cents per month...or 40 months (3.5 years) to mine $1.

Also, how can NMC be 105% payout? Is it just because a lot of miners have not set up NMC, so the pool has some extra to distribute? Are NMC payouts generated in the same way as BTC payouts (i.e., included in the mining reward) or are they held by the pool and then paid out? What is the minimum payout for NMC?
That, and Eligius was merged mining NMC for a period of time before paying out any at all, so has a large quantity in reserve. NMC are manually paid out on some schedule, I'm not sure what it is.

OK, seems what I said was wrong. My command line was being overridden by my .config file.
Sorry chaps, carry on, what what!

I don't know what those other folks are telling you to do, but this is what I have for my command line to get my Antminer U1 running at 2GH: bfgminer.exe -S all --set-device antminer:freq=0A81The other suggestions are bollocks. antminer:freq was the old settings for nwooll's fork of BFGMiner 3.9.0 antminer:clock is the official setting for the mainline BFGMiner 3.10.0 nwooll updated his instructions on his blog and in this thread about the change in settings... Well, that can't be right, because I'm running 3.10.0 on my BBB, and that's the command line I'm running (I just added the .exe for the benefit of Windows users).

Amen to that. I cannot believe I blew almost 11 BTC on those piece of shit Blue Fury usb miners. Oh well... it's just money. *sigh* I sold 10BTC for £40, and I thought I was doing well. I agree about the BlueFuzzies, what a pile of crap. At least I sold mine for a few quid on Fleabay.

This is Madness I tell you! Madness! Already they are cluttering up the other areas with their oh so important Newbie questions and posts. We need a filter at least. This. This is a terrible idea. The forum is full of newbies asking stupid questions (like how do I mine with my Celeron CPU).

Or they taped two boxes together to save shipping? Or put two miners in one box? Weird concept, I know, but stranger things have happened.

Hello, I am currently using Phoenix miner.
There's your problem. It's not 2011 any more.

Do the dust bunnies come free, or are they extra?

I have one that all my mining gear is plugged in to. I also have a whole-house power meter (connects round one of the cables beside the meter), with that I can tell at a glace what miners are working. Usually I drop about 300W when my ASICMiner Cube freaks (which is quite often).

5GH on p2pool? I doubt you'll see any payout, ever. I ran ~120GH through p2pool for 48 hours and got a payout of 0.008BTC per day. I get a consistent 0.038BTC per day through Eligius with exactly the same hardware.

128 please.
Why are you even still here? You don't deserve an opinion on ANYTHING to do with Eligius.

According to CK, there's a bug in cgminer which BTCGuild breaks. Yes, btcguild is a separate bug, sorry. BTCguild is the only pool that uses the redirect feature in stratum which was added blindly a long time ago when stratum support was first added and no pool used it. Cgminer's implementation is unfortunately buggy and the only workaround till I can fix it is to connect directly to btcguild's redirected url directly or use a different pool to avoid the crash.

For those of us whose rigs have less than perfect reliability, and who aren't always present to monitor them, the 128/256 second stats can tell us at a glance that our rigs are up and running. It's super handy to just check it on my phone when I'm at work or wherever.
This +1million. My rigs are a bit wobbly at best, so knowing if they're dead or not is pretty important to me.
