I'm enjoying this immensely  Great to see proper discussion instead of just inane comments from bored people. Looking forward to the community working together to improve the software over time Yeah there is no point trolling when they have seemingly delivered. I really am thinking about what to do next. I need people smarter than me to discuss so I can learn from them. People like D&T etc. Buy FPGA or GPUs  Can these singles really push the difficulty sky high just like the GPUs did to the CPUs ? Lots of people that did not have enough cooling, amps, skill etc. can now start mining at the click of a button with the speed of a 5970 ! I am unsure as to how the mining environment and competition will change from here on etc. |

OK. Now that the product seems to be genuine I have some questions for you all :
-what do you think will happen with the rest of the network ? Will all GPU miners cease to be profitable like the CPU miners ?
-has all the FPGA competition been wiped out with this weapon ?
-what will an ASIC do to the bitcoin network ?
-could this still be a long con and how can we see the warning signs in that case ?
Discuss !

OK. So I see that both 32 and 64 bit is somehow supported. How is this achieved ( I was not able to download the new image ) ? Will 32 bit still be supported for say version 0.6 etc. ? Thank you lodcrappo ! 32 bit software runs on 64bit machines. same way bamt 0.4 and every previous version supports both. I do not know how long we will stay on 32 bit, or if there will be a "0.6", or when it would happen if so. There are drawbacks no matter what. OK. So is this using a amd64 kernel or the old i686 kernel ? As I said earlier, cannot try it out until someone uploads to a file host or something. Thanks ! |

Raspberry Pi would be a great option as a host computer. Only problem is driver/communications compatibility, but it should be a worthwhile pursuit. My guess is it would be quicker to obtain a RasPi than a BFL single.
Yeah. If one orders a single now when can we expect delivery ? In 3 months |

See your "dmesg" and maybe "logread" to see when you plug and unplug the device to see the serial port. It should be something like "/dev/ttyUSBx" with "x" being a number like 0 or 1 etc. Then launch cgminer with the --scan-serial option like this : ./cgminer --scan-serial /dev/ttyUSB1 in case your device uses 1 etc. Make sure to compile cgminer with the BFL support because it comes disabled by default ( or if you are using the binaries the same applies and you need to compile manually with BFL support on ). https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer how to compile. Thank you and 1M1Eo8upubkEmCqmhnMvVMfEyQiYbCXxKS if I helped. |

Ok, my findings so far: 5850 on SDK 2.5 2.2.7 ~400MH/s with phatk120213 2.3.0 ~320MH/s with phatk120222 2.3.0 ~400MH/s with phatk120213 *but* lots of HW errors! So it seems the hashrate drop is in the kernel changes? The old kernel is simply not compatible with the current one. Well this makes me fucking angry. All I can do is shake my fist even harder at ATI for the changes just SHOULD NOT CAUSE THIS as they're meant to be trivial changes. Well more fucking quick fucking releases to deal with fucking ATI fucking fail. Rollback phatk fucking time. Yeah and people were bashing me when I was screaming Nvidia. ATI will probably never fix these bugs in their SDK and drivers. CPU bug, SDK 2.6, 8 GPU hardcoded limit, needs to be linked to xserver at all times. If only Nvidia would wake up and see that we are waiting for the 4608 shader dual GPU. Hopefully the integer performance is much better this time around and they implement a variation of BFI_INT or bitalign. So when will you release the fixed cgminer ? Thank you ! |

i still havent been paid! where is my btc?
Same here. 0.93 to 1M1Eo8upubkEmCqmhnMvVMfEyQiYbCXxKS and we are even. If people like kano and D&T ( that have NO stake in this at all but just want to troll the OP for his mistakes ) don't shut up and leave the OP to pay us then I will have them also partly to blame for not getting my damn $4 back  |

You could always try 1500MHz @1.4v lol, haven't tried pushing that hard yet  Next on Bitcoin talk, how to let all the magic smoke out of your components and turn them into doorstops. Just RMA it back to newegg and tell them  I no know what happen. What's that you say? Overclocking? Me? Nawww Got to 1300 MHz but had to push voltage to 1.28, which really isn't worth it anymore. Reverting back to 1200MHz @ stock Yeah it is idiots like you that think RMA is the universal solution that is driving up the GPU prices for EVERYONE else when the manufacturer has to take into consideration this variation of theft / revenue loss from people claiming DOA or RMA when they destroy card on purpose. Once you OC you should have no warranty but AMD is too dumb to properly implement this so once you OC it is recorded in BIOS or something ... or at least that's how it should be done. |

it is a fairly well known one on here but running in beta right now (hence the server problems). I am being vague due to the inflammatory nature of > 100% pps on this forum in the past and don't want to derail this thread.
Does it start with G  ? I think some people are having loads of issues with cgminer and that pool you are talking about so I think this is pretty on topic. Maybe there is some networking / share submitting bug in cgminer that is not in phoenix that only affects pool G ? |

While hopefully the next version works better, why would you mine at a pool that goes offline once a day much less multiple times per minute?
I mean even if cgminer handles the drop perfectly you are still looking at a massive drop in aggregate output. It doesn't always do that, it does it when the server has issues or when the pool ops are working on it. I completely agree with the aggregate output part, that's why it would be nice to have an option that would kick over to the backup pool for a while instead of constantly trying to submit work to a failing main pool. As for why I continue to mine at this pool, it is because it pays ~ 140% pps. What pool is that |

Did you read? He owed 120 BTC he intends to pay 20 BTC of that.
Not quite. A good portion of that is owed to himself. Running the numbers, 20 BTC seems about right, assuming that he was telling the truth about the number of shares that have already been payed out. Unless there is a compelling reason to change that number, as the investigating staff member in the scammer investigation, I am ruling that 20 btc is fair to all parties and that if it is paid out in a reasonable manner, he won't receive the scammer tag. Well I think for 120% PPS it is pretty clear cut. I am owed 21333 shares so about 0.93 BTC and I will be 100% happy. It is much less clear cut for the proportional offer, however. |
