Some PSUs just don't work without some sort of load on the 5V line, especially older supplies.  Newer ones seem happy to just supply pure 12V, as very recent PCs use very, very little 5V (Haswell in particular).

No-one is forcing you to use the pool.  If you think eleuthria is a poor admin, why don't you set up a pool yourself and see how difficult it is.

PM'ed.  I'm in the UK (N. Ireland so can't pick up but postage is normal UK rates if using Royal Mail).

I was surprised, as the first one was spotlessly clean.  This newer one is obviously dusty - there's dust in around the chips and JTAG headers on the board as well as the dust on the inside of the case. I can see a bit of fluff stuck to the heat pads under the heat sink, if I look with a bright flashlight. 

Perhaps someone was brushing the floor while it was running in the 'factory'. 

BFGMiner.

I thought is was more than that.  I did check bfgminer more closely, and it's saying something about 'parallel queue processing' which I'm thinking sounds a bit more like what BFL were alluding to.

If you're using zdiag for bfgminer, you're doing it wrong.  You only need zdiag for cgminer, because cgminer uses their own retarded drivers.

May be you should stop giving crap advice.

These miners work perfectly on Windows 8.1 x64 for me.  Far better than on Windows 7, especially when using USB3.

Luke-Jr, any idea if/when the Hashfast Micro boards will be back in stock?

Get them shipped yet OC3k?  Just so I know if I have to get up early for the postman (2 weeks off = lie-ins).

I notice on BFL's site they mention some sort of 'teaming' system:

Additional Bitforce SC products can be added to the chain via a USB hub for linear performance multiplication with no overhead cost. Each additional unit is auto-configured and folded into the workforce without any user intervention required.

I'm using BFGMiner, the two Jallys I have are running off a single USB hub.  What am I looking for in regards this 'teaming'?  Is it important?  Does it actually help?  How do I know if it's working?

My "7GH" Jalapeno that I finally got on Christmas Eve (late June order) came with 292 on it.  It's running around 8GH.

I got two Jalapenos, one is a 5GH early June order, one is a 7GH late June order.

The 5GH one was nicely put together, clean inside, using the new black aluminium heat sink, and the fan blowing down.  The heat sink had the gap for the JTAG connector manufactured in to it.  This one does 5.1GH.

The 7GH one was dirty.  The outside of the casing looked used, and inside there was quite a bit of dust on the inside of the casing.  The fan was new, however.  The heat sink was a tatty looking silver aluminium unit, which had obviously been modified with a Dremel to provide access to the JTAG.  The cut area had been given a quick spray with black paint (I assume to stop any aluminium dust from floating about).  This unit does 7.9-8.1GH depending on how cool it is on initial power-up.

I'm not using the supplied PSUs - they're junk.  I cut the lead off and soldered to it a Molex connector, and run it off the ATX PSU that runs my Blades.

Yeah, freezing the account is a fine for being a cunt.  Civility doesn't cost anything.  You should take note.

Or driving for 9 hours puts him over the hedge.

eleuthria, I think if anyone was giving me lip via email, they'd find their account permanently frozen.

Yes, I run mine off the "High Power" ports on my DLink D7 hub.

I don't own a HTC phone, only a Nexus 4.

Besides, what you're saying doesn't make any sense, unless the HTC phone is broadcasting on 8332.  Why would a phone be broadcasting?   

Surely if you download it from the official web site (as linked at the top of the forum), you don't need to verify signatures? 

Where's my tinfoil hat smilie?

This.

The Anker hubs are as picky as any other.  Mine doesn't work with one of the three PCs here - doesn't work at all on the AMD machine, and just about works on the NUC.  Works OK on the main PC.
