thanks for trying!
Saly nope, when i have 5 boards attached, they just never seem to take the clock settings & i get way more HW than i normally do with 4......
frustrating me on and off for over a week now

any ideas of what variables to change to make 5 boards take the OC settings. edit: I have tried adding 4 to the end of 0 1 2 3 at the 2 or 3 points i could find this mentioned bellow, but it did not have an effect. eidt: if anyone can edit the bellow for me so it works with 5 boards i would be extremely grateful and would offer a small reward  #!/bin/sh

Edit: looks like the inefficient is due to overclocking. An antminer is 1w/gh at 80gh.
but that would involve more chips to achieve 180GH, costs are kept down by clocking the chips to the max performance. Yea but the fact is they can achieve the same gh/w ratio on 55nm chips. Bitmain can always keep lowering the price but they wont be able to compete with knc 20nm or asicminer 40nm. Unfortunately neither will BA. But we have a long time before efficiency plays a critical role so it might be better to go with a cheap miner like Blackarrow/Bitmine rather than an efficient one. True. I look at it as a Loooong game now and always want to have power efficient miners. I mine at home and am limited on how much power i can pull. At present i am running the following KnC - 790GH - 820W KnC - 790GH - 820W KnC - 510GH - 560W KnC - 680GH - 750W total - 2770GH - 2950w + 4 x 80 for fans and controllers for the same power consumption i could only have about 1300GH worth of antminers |

btc-e is 0.2%, so look for a margin of over 0.41% for sell/buy Bitstamp has a tiered system based on trade volume, similar to gox had. I remember only one or two months back in January-April last year when i got my trade volume to the lower tiers on gox, without ever verifying the account  FEE SCHEDULE
Fee % 30 days USD volume
0.50% < $500
0.48% < $1,000
0.46% < $2,000
0.44% < $4,000
0.42% < $6,500
0.40% < $10,000
0.38% < $15,000
0.36% < $20,000
0.34% < $25,000
0.32% < $37,500
0.30% < $50,000
0.28% < $62,500
0.26% < $75,000
0.24% < $100,000
0.22% < $150,000
0.20% > $150,000
FEE ROUNDING We kindly ask our users to take note on Bitstamp's policy regarding fee calculation. As our fees are calculated to two decimal places, all fees which might exceed this limitation are rounded up. The rounding up is executed in such a way, that the second decimal digit is always one digit value higher than it was before the rounding up. For example; a fee of 0.111 will be charged as 0.12. |

it's like avalon chips(mass produced, rushed to market) the chips themselves just are not that great(clocked tot eh max), but the costs in china are cheap.

ASICMiner is the company that made the Block Erupter USB, Block Erupter Blades, and the Block Erupter Cubes. They are working on a 40nm chip now for their next generation miners (which I hope will finally support Stratum directly).
40nm is already on the market on AntMiners.. I thought next gen chips are 28nm ?! BleackArrow also promise since long time ago to come with 28nm chips but all these may come too late when the difficulty will increase too much !! Bitmain/Bitfury 55nm are both more efficient than knc 28nm. KNC 20nm will be less efficient than Asicminer 40nm. What a load of bull. I have a 2 jupiters giving me 790GH for 820watts to power the boards, more like 900w with all the extra fans and control board. That is much more power efficient than Bitmains 180GH for 380w. Bitfury, yes they are power efficient. |

The shelves all appear to have psu Ready to be set up.
Any links to the pic source. I have not been following the last few weeks

I asked if the miners could be taken out of hosting and sent to me early, i then got told this could not happen and the miners were to stay in hosting until the hosting contract has ran out........ seems most strange to me, unless they are running extra boards from my control boards or they have over clocked my boards and i just get a % of the generated hashrate. Either way, i did not like being told i could not have what i paid for, until another service i had paid for runs out.
Hosted jupiters are probably ASIC boards on a shelf  The positioning of those screw fixtures are quite strange I have to say. They look like diagonal variants of the positions in the jupiters, 4 x board 2 x heatsink but diagonal. I am aware my boards are just on a shelf, this s how i had 9 x 8vrm boards set up personally. |

I am still keeping mine, hoping that I will receive physical miners, which I can mine with for a while and then sell them on Ebay or sell directly on Ebay.
But it looks more and more plausible that we will all receive virtual hashrate.
Also I really don't like their attitude towards their customers. I sent them an email with questions + called them and got exactly what I expected: a lot of words and phrases, but not real information.
Phone support does not even want to answer the question: Is 1st July considered late?
Sam is nowhere to be found and would rather be hit by a train, than speak with any of his customers.
Bitcoinorama is also nowhere to be found.
Basically communication and information is totally lacking and they don't care a single bit.
I am keeping my neptune for the moment, but $13,000 / 600 = 21.6BTC, so i am aware and tempted of the refund, the gamble of the 10 day wait puts me off. Knowing my luck i would refund and then we would see $1050btc again. I have been having some off communications with KnC also lately. Two hosted miners have been dropping in speed from 550 down to 500. KnC say the engeneers check them and all is fine and hashing at 550, that's not what the pool ever says. I asked if the miners could be taken out of hosting and sent to me early, i then got told this could not happen and the miners were to stay in hosting until the hosting contract has ran out........ seems most strange to me, unless they are running extra boards from my control boards or they have over clocked my boards and i just get a % of the generated hashrate. Either way, i did not like being told i could not have what i paid for, until another service i had paid for runs out. |

Are you guys really blaming bitmain for your countries import taxes?! wtf.
People are complaining as Bitmain use to give the option of how the item would be declared, most would pick the $120 option. No it seems Bitmain has probably had a word from Customs and is forced to write the real value, sadly he did not mention this would be the case before shipping/selling. Even though the customers were looking to be dishonest by evading import tax, bitmain has been dishonest by not telling people their new miners would be invoiced at full amount, if he had he probably would not have sold as much and with time sensative BTC mining and low $$$ btc values, bitmain could not afford to hold onto units. did bitmain know what he was doing...... probably. |

Thus far, 8 CoinTerra units have arrived. 7 more will have been shipped and on their way within 24 hours.
Of those 8 units, 3 are in WA (not hashing) and 5 are here in Bozeman.
Of those 5, 1 is only hashing at half capacity, and another isn't working at all.
We are working to get units fixed/hashing ASAP. This is our number one priority.
The new facility in Washington is perfect for all of our hashing needs, however unfortunately we can't set up hardware there for about a week. Until then, Garrett hopes to have the 3 CT units set up and hashing in an alternative location by tomorrow night.
The situation is not ideal, but we are making the best of it.
This is absolute insanity and mismanagement. Why would Garr send all the functioning units to WA to be set up next week? If he would not have them set up until next week he should not have sent them to WA until monday *cough* after difficulty change *cough* The none fuctional unit should have been sent also, stupid decisions like that are going to be costly int he long run. |

any ideas why i get such bad results with 5 boards, which i have done with 4 boards.
It is almost as if when i delete the cgminer and i add the overclock setting from my text file, it stops the boards from accepthing the OC settings.
Should i be changing certain variables in my text file for the added 5th board?
or are control boards just not able to handle OC settings with 5-6 boards?
thanks

is there instructions on permanent writing the clock settings?
