Crazy! He evaporated into thin air  If you guys know him, tell him thank you. I'd bet my bottom satoshi that he's active here but under a different SN. Look for users registered on that date he stopped posting. Someone who just creates hugely disruptive technology doesn't just "forget about it" cause you know...this is his baby. I'll also venture that no one really cares - If they did, there would be a bounty to reveal him by now. |

I managed to get my Unit working Stable, it seems these guys want to be cooled in a specific way. I added 3 120MM fans to the top with 1 Box fan pushing air across it from the side. The real trick is it did not like the air on the same side as the regulator, no clue why but once I moved it to the other side it has hashed at 575-580 for about 11 hours now.
Now I need to move it off my workbench to where its going stay for good, lets hope my results do not vary. At least I have an idea what to do I suppose.
I asked Mega to stop my RMA for now since all the Units appear to work fantastic with Proper cooling.
I installed more heatsinks and I'm seeing this too from my tests - Looks like fans should not be on the "PULSE" chip side at all. The startminer chronjob seems to keep my unit hashing at around the 500s between 5-600 when it restarts, but I don't know if I"m effectively increasing my hashrate overall as btcguild reports only half my speed (I did set the correct difficulty on the pool settings) |

5.5 BTC hmm 1650 each eh? I'll buy one for 5 btc just as others quoted on that thread - 1500 approx for one unit right? price is going to the moon! My bid is retracted. At this rate - that could be 2500 by next week so I'm going to have to decline. |

anyone successfully connect to ozcoin or slush? if so, what addresses are you using? for instance, my typical addresses to connect aren't working: stratum.ozco.in:3333, us.ozco.in:3333, stratum+tcp://stratum.ozco.in:3333.
my solo mining stratum port monitor 8889 hashrate shows a huge discrepancy vs. the hashrate advertised in the BF GUI. i'd like to connect to a pool to see if i see the same discrepancy.
to that note I'm also having problems connecting to pools except btcguild. I cannot connect to neither eligius nor bitminter. using mint.bitminter.com, 3333, usr, pwd, |

This was it here to quote so that I can find it myself easily next time:
Someone may find this useful... If your pool reports your hashrate dropping regularly DESPITE bitfury admin showing steady noncerate:
1) ssh into your pi
2) run command: crontab -e
3) add this line at the end of file:
Quote
*/10 * * * * sudo /opt/bitfury/start-stratumproxy.sh
4) save & exit
It will restart your stratum proxy every 10 minutes from now on. If you want to cancel it, just run the command again and delete the line.
I took this from the EU bitfury maitenance/tuning thread.
[changed mine to */10 * * * * sudo /opt/bitfury/start-miner.sh]
(crossing my fingers that this doesnt break anything and I'm hoping it keeps my hashrate high)

i have the entire Bank 1 at zero hashing (first 4 slots) i have 3 140mm fans and one large box fan blowing at it. have v2.2 H boards with v3 M board. doesn't matter which H boards go into those slots. any suggestions?

I'm tuning each chip to AIfDSo Bank 1 Bank 2 Bank 3 Bank 4 1: 35.137GH/s 5: 2.407GH/s 9: 32.583GH/s 13: 34.36GH/s 2: 31.768GH/s 6: 32.583GH/s 10: 0.815GH/s 14: 34.915GH/s 3: 32.175GH/s 7: 7.775GH/s 11: 36.581GH/s 15: 33.471GH/s 4: 34.915GH/s 8: 33.693GH/s 12: 35.804GH/s 16: 30.213GH/s Bank 1 Bank 2 Bank 3 Bank 4 1: 36.86GH/s 5: 34.456GH/s 9: 10.545GH/s 13: 19.936GH/s 2: 31.699GH/s 6: 18.045GH/s 10: 30.834GH/s 14: 20.129GH/s 3: 30.802GH/s 7: 34.424GH/s 11: 4.167GH/s 15: 18.045GH/s 4: 22.565GH/s 8: 20.417GH/s 12: 5.353GH/s 16: 15.353GH/s Bank 1 Bank 2 Bank 3 Bank 4 1: 30.68GH/s 5: 9.964GH/s 9: 35.004GH/s 13: 35.276GH/s 2: 32.212GH/s 6: 19.556GH/s 10: 28.576GH/s 14: 20.186GH/s 3: 32.227GH/s 7: 14.574GH/s 11: 23.293GH/s 15: 13.157GH/s 4: 13.085GH/s 8: 21.289GH/s 12: 23.221GH/s 16: 12.541GH/s This is my result from 3 tests at 5 minutes in on those settings - I saw a chron job 1-line script here that Keefe wrote that is supposed to reset stratum every 10 minutes, I want to try that script but to restart my miner every 5 minutes - seems like I'm getting solid hashrate within that 1st 5 minutes then everything runs - but as you can see from my past tests - my hashrate seems to drop every time after 5 minutes - I have 6 120 mm fans going and heatsinks so I have no idea what gives  |

Bitcointalk.org is ... damaging to the value of Bitcointalk...
What?? It should say Bitcoin. With bitcoin reaching new highs that statement doesn't hold a lot of weight. I don't think the market value of bitcoin takes into account anyone's opinion of bitcointalk.org. You are avoiding the issue. People are getting ripped off left and right and anyone can see that is a major issue. Some people just want to look for excuses to go along with crowd. You want to divert attention to these issues by pointing out typos and looking for irrelevant excuses. I assume nobody can complain about anything and there are no issues because we are at a high at the moment? The high is based on forwarding looking anticipation that there will be mass adoption, it is not approval of what is currently happening at Bitcointalk.org As for respect, the people who run this forum deserve none. People like DannyHamilton who spend a lot of time helping users and warning them about the scams deserve respect. As for some yellow strip on some goofball forum I can assure you I couldn't care less. I have already made enough money on the internet where I don't have to work any more and I don't have to worry about how long my friends list is. I am going to do what I think is right. lol someone just lied about ignoring me if they read that  Yea I was on the fence with you like two months ago, but now at this point, if you're a new person, you should have been at bitcoin.com or bitcoin.org - just like I did when I was uninformed....better yet...before going there....you should go to wikipedia. Fools and their money are parted - you found inspiration to write about that article based on the brothers who spend a million dollars on a bfl preorder. This news with tradefortress completely seals the deal. The fact that something identical happened nearly a year ago when he gipped people using ripple shows me that its obvious why this occurred. By the way, if you've had coins taken from inputs.io and you want to complain to Trade Fortress directly, his email is: admin@glados.cc |

Good day to you sir.
I don't remember why but I already had you on ignore and I had to click the link to see what you posted. I must be on the right track. I would venture that your ignore link is darker yellow than mine.MIlly bitcoin aka Metta world peace Good job  I feel kinda bad for starting shit...reading the first few lines, I was like oh crap wow - I totally remembered those inputs.io wallets ads - Tradefortress was on them tough. His coinchat service is down too...yet coinlenders is still live. |

Bitcointalk.org is a trap to new users and is designed to defraud them. It is damaging to the value of Bitcointalk and it makes the people involved look ridiculous. Further. it is difficult enough to bring in new users and explain all the risks without the added burden of explaining the stuff that goes on here. It scares people away.
It is bizarre that so many people go along with all this stuff. I realize a bunch of goofballs are going to start taking pot shot at me rather than address the actual issues but that is the way it goes.
You do realize that we have no respect for you right? Right? Seriously, who comes to a forum to link to their own article that is talking shit about "said" forum? Are you that desperate that you need to beg here for traffic too? I've seen your ploys on reddit...hot linking to your own content shows your own lack morals. Good day to you sir. Its obvious that Milly purchased hardware from BFL. No other vendors...cept metabank and KNC miner have purchased forum advertising as far as I know. Metabank is suppossed to deliver later this month and next month....KNC delivered. Thus Milly is only talking about BFL. Get off your whine horse... write something productive for a change. I'll eat those words, looking at your articles, you've got nice content to mull over while not here or on reddit. |

Wow thanks I wasn't totally sure and didnt want to ruin them. Looks like they tack to the boards too! Come off with force but leave no residue.

 Does this seem reasonable instead? I'm NOT trying to buy 400 dollars worth of heatsinks. Also forgive my ignorance but do I remove these white peices of paper or are they used to give a good contact for thermal paste? |

I just received 5 new-style cards and the last two in the chain are pooping out after just a few minutes. I have 2-140mm fans in push-pull configuration but no heatsinks (which I won't bother with). The bad cards are the last in line on the M board.
I assume they are getting too much voltage and getting hot... or whatever. I'm not a technical person at all, so I really have no idea what to do to get these two cards running as best as they can. I'm not looking for high OC numbers, just good stable middle-of-the-road hash rates. I don't want to fuss with them. I just want them to be reliable.
Any ideas?
if the new cards operate at >0.86V they can be quite near their upper limits. They may need better cooling or slight downvolting (0.85v) to be stable The card(s) that stop hashing now seems to random. The card in slot 1 stopped now after I swapped card 4 & 5. Cards 2-5 continued to hash at a good rate after card 1 stopped. So I guess I don't even know which cards to reduce the voltage on if it's a different card each time. Btw, do you know which way to turn the pot to adjust the voltage down? I don't have a way to measure voltage but since I just want to reduce voltage, I'm not to worried. EDIT After restarting CGMiner, now cards 3 & 4 are stopped. You are running CGminer? REally stupmed on how to update my miner software... Thinking that I'm supposed to be using psftp and to literally overwrite the files located here?: /opt/bitfury/chainminer |

One of my clients sent me a pic of his mine. All of the rigs are mounted in my mining trays (with tops). The GPUs are all 7950 Radeons (mostly MSI Twin Frozrs). Max hash is currently at around 73MH.  Box fan cooling FTW! I think that standing air condition helps... Just a smidge. are those 4 7950s each to make 80 cards in total? IF so you're avg 912 ish MH per card: A) how did you do that? B) how much was the cost of the entire Setup including COOLING C) how long ago was this built? I put the general presumption of 1200 W psu and 24000 Watts constantly from those 20 satellite machines. That is a 57 dollar a day power bill WOW. [My calculations put it at just under 26K such that: (HD,Mem,Processor@ $90 1200W PSU @ $179 4 7950s@$900 Mobo@$90 Misc Cost@$5+ Structure,AC,Monitors, Network Components @$20 per machine approximately)*20 units] Using coinwarz the median number seems to be around 340 dollars per day if you were to cancel out the crazy outlier days, I see ROI in Approximately 77 Days so...WOW! I see 5 cards per machine, so around 100 in total + maybe a little bit more at the end there. You're right its hidden due to the edge of the border. I like spotswood cases by the way have one myself. Ok so the new numbers changed a bit - I replaced 900 with 1250 to approximate 250 per card with 5 per rig at 22 rigs = $35948 / ~$340 now equates to 106 days till PURE profit It is sooo much fun dreaming about this - so I looked at the square footage of our work facility - we hypothesize that 90 of these racks could be fitted on our premesis - that brings in about 30K a day, and costs approximately 3.1 Million (didn't calculate power costs to see if they scale as I don't know how much extra his cooling costs add onto so I would venture a safe guess of 5000 base cost plus 4000 additional for cooling cost DAILY! Still though 3.1 Million/ 21K = 108 Days until PURE profit! Ridiculously PURE profit! You too can have a million dollar month each month  |

EDIT: I'm seeing two more rigs on the end so I need to change the multiplier to 22 which changes it to: $28500 nearly - Still though 84 days till PURE profit is not bad at all. HOt DAmn |

Has anyone used a short gpio cable on these yet so your pi isn't mounted sideways looking funny? what is the smallest cable I can get? Looks like maybe 6" ?

At this point, people will adopt whether they'll want to or not.
Try telling that to an elderly woman who owned a smokeshop in downtown - First thing she said was Coins? wha wha wha? Coins like this?: (Pulls out a Sacajawea dollar) I said, No No bitcoins: The Future! - Instant Transactions with zero fees and instant transfer to your wallet - She then says - Oh no I don't use the internet at all. I'm not interested in that mess! It was mentioned by the article writer that Bitcoiners' being in the community we are in, have the tendency to create a closed feedback loop (we all only see the good things in bitcoin and thus will only talk about these good things to each other over and over again until everyone shares the same feelings and beliefs) where we all see things as cheery and altruistic and positive - there will always be those who are successful with the current fiat system and they will not adopt until its too late (if bitcoin is shown to take over as the primary reference currency for transacting goods and services) |

Well shit. Already arrived via Amazon.com. I figured it was reasonable. Possibly just barely huh ? Think a full rig would cook that TX 850 ? (Probably should have just went with an AX 1200 like my gut was telling me to; was trying to save a few $$$) Great now I'm perplexed as to what makes sense to go with - for sure, I'm planning to OC my stuff and to buy an extra set of 120 mm Fans for the top area to circulate air, It seems like 700 should be all that I would need being that 400 GH only required 390 W 195+390 =~585W on an expected hashrate of 600 GH/S? Maybe 620-640 could push it up to the 650 Watt range right? So in Total - I'm using a spotswood case - Will be hooking up 6 just 4 120MM Fans, (4 on the sides to pull air away from the boards, and two on the top to push air onto the boards) and am also attaching Superglue lined heatsinks (act as an insulator) onto the voltage regulators using thermal paste. http://www.frys.com/product/6301571 was what I was planning on picking up before the package arrives |
