Seems to be the case

Well played! would've thrown some dust at you for the laugh if you had a tip jar...

If it will connect by lan, maybe the radio died? Or you don't have the correct port address, though usually a switch or router will fix that automatically.

I'm shootin' in the dark here, but I've had similar problems with routers. My first thought would be to just power cycle everything. If that don't solve it, you have a deeper problem.

Oops. Did that about an hour ago. It's definitely getting fewer rejects. It is now at diff 64, will see how it looks in a bit. Still showing lower hashrate by about 10-12 GH/S than what CGminer is showing, but much more stable than it was... and that was at diff 16.

Thanks!

Oh, is there a page that shows estimated payout, or is that a "wait and see" thing? Sorry to pester you. Just learning the pool.

EDIT: Now seems to show much closer to what I show in CGminer.

However, and I don't know if this is universal or just my rig, when it switches coins it appears on the stats at like 1/2 the hashrate for a couple of refreshes. Then it's back up to where it should be. I'm guessing it's just the nature of the switching feature, as I don't see the fluctuation in CGminer other than a series of four or five rejects. Then it stabilizes very quickly.

Pretty damn cool!

Mine was a bitfury rig.

But anyway, yes, somebody is playing head games. Just not sure who. Oh, and AMT hasn't delivered any Bitmine based miners yet, or had not as of earlier today. Just some of the older Technobit/bitfury based miners. Which are quite nice, but not real fast.

Yes, I'm quite aware of the connection between AMT, Bitmine and Technobit. AMT sent me a miner to review and to alleviate some fears about their legitimacy. I think they failed in that, as they haven't alleviated MY fears about their legitimacy. However, the beast runs Technobit HEX16B's, and I have followed Technobit pretty much since their founding. They were first to market with an A1 based miner. Well, hashing board, anyway. AMT is still dithering.

But what I was referencing was that the note, when translated, mentioned AMT and Bitmine, but not Technobit. Just found that a bit odd, given that Technobit has more exposure and success than AMT, and probably at this point than Bitmine. Why leave them out if this is Legit? (or perhaps certifiably illegitimate, given the subject...)

The numbers make sense in light of your new data, but why two NEW accounts posting the same "warning" in the AMT and Bitmine thread? I smell fish.

... The bong, Jellin.... Hit the bong... then Caps Lock... deep breath.

VAT law is complicated. I am in the US, so I don't have to deal with it, but I very definitely recall the brouhaha over it in the KNC thread. Seems that while the EU has a published "standard", it's open to massive interpretation and endless debate. Give 'em a minute to get it sorted.

Not saying they aren't a scam, nor that they are. But this is a pretty minor technical detail up until they actually start taking money.

Oh, the first sentence is all in good fun. You seem awfully excitable

Thanks, I'll try that. It's gotta be a bear to keep the stats straight with that many coins. I ain't complaining, just curious.

Here's the addy. The miner is two Technobit HEX16B's, if that gives you any guidance. I'm not a complete noob, but fairly close to it. I guess that makes me an incomplete noob On Eligius it is usually at 64.

Cheers!

Edit: should I switch ports now?

yeah. Them and AMT both. I don't know much about Switzerland, but in the US, there are three companies I can think of right off the top of my head that could provide this, with minimal training. Kelly Services, Volt Temporary services and Manpower. I'm sure there are similar companies in Switzerland. Getting short term, relatively competent help is NOT difficult. Getting long term competent help often is...

yes, this. I won't buy a pre order, but I might buy your machines if they are in hand. Either that or some Ants, in a few weeks.

It's already there. Order 1121.

Exactly the same post under a different username in the AMT thread. I copied it into google translate.


A bit disturbing, if true. My first question would be how do they get the chips from Bitmine. My next one would be why aren't they mentioning Technobit???

Definitely some sort of scam here, but I'm kinda wondering whether it has anything to do with a chinese theft.

Ok, I've never used a switching pool like this before, so if this is an ignorant question, so be it.

I'm mining at the pool right now, and it took forever to show me above about 50 GH/s, it's now showing about 72. I'm putting out 79-84 according to CGminer. From reading the thread, I know there's a fair amount of rejects, and CG is showing that as well. Not ridiculous, just a lot higher than I was used to at Eligius. Is the high rejects why my hashrate displays so much lower than at Eligius?

Also, when mining via the "tomcoins" option, is there a direct stats page for my address, or is it just the main page there?

I like this concept, but I'm feeling a little naked here

Not hardly. If you're that religious, I won't post it here! Google it and take your pick.

LOL! I'm a pretty hardcore atheist. I just thought that would be the first biggest lie

That which exists despite your illusions

You do know that's the 2nd biggest lie in the world don't you?

What's first, God said it?

I'm thinking of mining here for a bit, to check it out, as soon as I get my next payout at
Eligius. I haven't read the whole thread, so if this has been covered don't kick me too hard

What kind of performance vs. bitcoin has the pool done with SHA-256? I see you consistently beating up on litecoin with scrypt, but that is currently irrelevant to me as I have an AMT/Technobit 80 gh/s ASIC device.

I'm gonna try it anyway, I just wanted to know what the performance has been.

Thanks!

Can't recall. I actually thought they had them first week in January, but I could be wrong. They were late, one way or the other, but less late than most everyone else.

What the hell happened since then is anybody's guess, since Giorgio is contradicting himself and/or ignoring questions... Ah well. I'm glad I have no pre-orders. Missed the boat on KNC Jupiter, and watched too many people get burned on the rest. Ants or used for this cowboy.

We were talking about the ASIC, not the machine.

Unfortunately, as much as I wished otherwise, I can't disagree with you on AMT. The acute lack of communication on both fronts, however, is not a workable paradigm. Being delayed is nothing new in high tech, though you'd not know it from the fulminations of some of the denizens of this forum. But the opacity? That just don't work.

Not that it's unique to these two entities. It seems damn near a pandemic in the Bitcoin ASIC industry. Make a lot of noise, then shut the fuck up about EVERYTHING, expect the customers (using the term loosely) to wait in the dark until such time as the manufacturer/assembler damn well pleases to say something. Regardless of deadlines, promises, estimations, what have you.

And of course, when called on it, lie. Lie a lot. Then say you weren't lying, or quibble over some small detail like a certain Big Fucking Liar has made a pathetic artform out of.

Or perhaps throw an observer a nice machine and hope they'll stick up for you. (Yeah, self referential, though I'm not the only one). They picked wrong there, in that I fully understand that doing something once is not the same as doing it for production. At the time, I could not have built that machine. I could now, and I could do it in better bulk than they have. In retrospect, I hope that nobody pre ordered on the basis of my experience. I don't like being a pawn. Lesson learned.

I don't understand why these companies, given the EXTREME demand for their product, can't or won't find a group of investors and then sell on hand product. It can't be that difficult, given the damn near guaranteed sale. I'm no expert, but I do know that an ASIC is a relatively simple bit of silicon. They've been around forever. And if I understand how bitcoin works as well as I think I do, then the ASIC involve here is simpler than most. Yet we are all tasked to wait through interminable technical hurdles by alleged professionals. It smells.

From everything I've seen, the A1 is indeed a splendid chip. So at least the engineers know what the hell they're doing. But why the silence from the CEO, or the stubborn refusal to clarify even the simplest parts of their poorly worded TOS? It don't make sense. It tarnishes their reputation, which going into this was pretty good.

Why can an invisible company that came out of left field do these things when a few very ballyhooed companies cannot? (Bitmain vs. Bitmine, Cointerra, Hashfast...?)

I really wish I had access to venture capital. I know engineers that can do this shit. Hell, Micron Technologies is 35 miles from where I sit, and they have excess fabrication capacity right now. This CANNOT be as difficult as they're making it out to be, advanced process node or not. Avalon was a group of students. That should tell us all something.
