i am currently earning 0.035 - 0.04 btc everyday with 1.5 TH i wanted to know how much would i earned in p2pool and wicth pool would i use since there are lots of them or i don't get it would love some explanation

Just join a p2pool node with the lowest ping from your miners.

Preferably one that has a zero % fee. Even better, set up your own node & help the network  Wink

Those control freaks in the US can introduce all the regulation & laws they like - they will simply get ignored throughout the world, leaving the US lagging even further behind in the Bitcoin boom. All their regulation & laws didn't do squat with the banksters - trying the same trick with Bitcoin simply will not work & will show them to be the backwards thinking OAP's that they are.
China can do what it wants - it owns the US. What a laugh  Cheesy

Forget it. Won't work. It must & will stay Open Source, like Bitcoin itself.

5. The nodes will pay 0.5% of returns to Forrest, the developer of p2pool, to ensure he can continue to support and develop the software we rely on.


But....but..... Wink

maybe disable merged mining until we find a block?

Miner software is just a lightweight shim around the fundamentally closed hardware of the ASIC.

This may be the case, but it is just as capable of doing some serious damage, as this example of a dodgy compiled sgminer binary shows:



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=719526.0   - and demonstrates perfectly everything that the cgminer devs want to avoid, and I believe what PatMan was trying to highlight. Of course, the majority of users here would never download anything from an unofficial source, let alone use it - yet here we all are running Bitmain software with known security holes in the miner software thinking everything is fine & dandy?! So although you, or anyone else for that matter, may not agree 100% with what PatMan says (which isn't surprising, given the length of it  Grin), I think your description of it being a "deluded rant" might be a little OTT, even though it was said in a joking fashion.....still, he took it well  Cheesy
I'd hazard a guess that 90% of noobs don't know how to use a MD5 checksum, let alone a decompiler to check what they just downloaded, they just "trust" that it's OK. If every manufacturer abides by what ever terms of the software license, and users were all made aware of the importance of Free & Open Source - the chances of the above happening would be drastically reduced, that's for certain.  Smiley

Mining software:  CGminer with web-based management interface

Cgminer is governed by the GPL version 3 license which means you are obliged by law to post the source to any modifications you have made to the code such as adding a driver for your hardware, so please post a link to your source code modifications. Thanks.
BUMP

So, is this the next hardware manufacturer that has to be forced into complying with the cgminer developers request to release their code - as stipulated by the GPLv3 License Agreement?

@ BITCRANE: Other hardware manufacturers have released their code after pressure from the Bitcoin community forced them to do so (most recently Bitmain, one of the largest). Please be gracious enough to respond to, & grant, ckolivas request - it should not be necessary for the Bitcoin community to have to force manufacturers to abide by the law. This will also alleviate any suspicions the community has about closed source software that was provided by the author for free as Open Source.

Thank you.

I get so tired of having to wade through reams of cr*p spam posts in order to find the smallest piece of information about a manufacturers product on their own thread - it's so f*cking irritating!

@ fahlcor: Take note of what people are telling you, obey the forum rules, especially when they are put right in front of your face. This is the Bitmain thread.

Dear Community,

Our truly apologies for the mis-understanding reported in this Support Thread. We are very willing to share the cgminer code to the Community.
Just reviewed our internal resource again, there is a little mis-communicaton between Customer Service Team and R&D Department. We thought this task was done 3 weeks ago.. 
However, R&D Department is repacking the cgminer code and will upload it to GitHub.com in 3 hours.

Any advice from the Community and Global Customers is appreciated, feel free to contact us via PM or info@bitmaintech.com.

Thank you!


Amazing what a bit of noise can do eh? Nice one  Smiley

If it is that easy to get the big players to play ball, the rest will follow. I'm very happy that the community was able to come together and get this result, much faster than I anticipated - well done everyone!!

By the way, let's not confuse Open Source with Copywrong - they are two completely different & opposite subjects that couldn't be more farther apart.  Wink

And there you have it  Smiley

That's the first of the big boys down - just a few more smaller players to do...... Cheesy Cheesy

Just goes to show the power of the Bitcoin community if only a few people start making a noise - very happy!

Well done all concerned  Smiley

While you're at it - ask them to release the code for the S3!  Wink

In fact demand it!  Smiley
496  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: August 18, 2014, 01:06:33 AM

With a lot of polling from a big customer they eventually released the S2 driver.

The S3 driver we've had no luck getting out of them.


Well, if a big customer can get them to release the code - I'm pretty sure that the community here can manage it. By my reckoning, if only 50% of cgminer users kicked up a fuss, they'd be completely swamped - same goes for S3 users.

Come on everyone - let's get it done!!!  Grin
497  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [600 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: August 17, 2014, 03:50:46 PM

IYFTech, I remember reading something from you about configuring the Antminer S3 to work properly for p2pool.  Can you please teach me again?

I have connected some Cointerra IV and Antminer S3 to p2pool, but they are performing something like 20% less than normal hash rate......



There are a few different viewpoints on this, but for me, running a local node (within my own network) I am using   "--queue 0 --failover-only"    in the /etc/init.d/cgminer file. Only mess with this if you know what you are doing - you can brick the unit.
498  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip on: August 17, 2014, 03:44:22 PM
ok BITMAIN I asked privately and now its out...
Look through your email for subject "some extra code doing extra things"
i attached network captures and strange results from our decompiler

The folks at White Hats for Hire, LLC are patiently awaiting an explanation before they release findings



Hello peruana,

I would be very interested in seeing this info - would you kindly send me a copy of the email?

Kind regards.
499  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: August 17, 2014, 02:12:35 PM
I have been wondering this also. Is is bad to to use the same pool and same worker ID for 3 seperate miners? Should each miner if using the same pool, use a different worker ID?

No, it's absolutely no problem - using separate ID's just means you can monitor them separately  Wink
500  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip on: August 17, 2014, 01:41:15 PM
Hi BITMAIN.

As you're an official representative of bitmain, may I ask you to please provide the source code for your modifications to cgminer in the form of the driver for the S3. cgminer is provided under the GPL version 3 license which means you are obliged by law to provide the source code to any modifications you do if you distribute binaries and you are distributing modified cgminer binaries with every S3.

Provision of the source code would allow us to aid the development of your driver and help bring your version to sync up with the latest cgminer to derive the benefits of newer versions along with its many fixes.

Bumping this

BITMAIN - A couple questions please:

1)  Why do you continue to ignore the request by the cgminer developers to release your code as you are morally & legally required to do so under the GPLv3 License Agreement?

2)  The cgminer software that you are deploying ILLEGALLY with your software has SEVERE security flaws, including the stratum redirect issue - why are you NOT implementing the latest version to eliminate these issues?

These and other questions have been asked many times by many people across this forum, but you continue to ignore them, refusing to even comment, and by doing so you are not only breaking the law, but you are also demonstrating massive contempt towards the cgminer developers & the Open Source Community as well as creating suspicion as to your reasons/motives within the Bitcoin Community.

Until you decide to capitulate & do the honorable & legally binding - and above all, the RIGHT thing - I and others on this forum will continue to pursue a response/reply to the above questions.

I urge everyone on this forum to do the same, not only out of respect & gratitude to the cgminer developers who have given so much to the Bitcoin community FOR FREE under the GPLv3 Licensing Terms, but also to ensure the security of your own extremely vulnerable mining equipment purchased from Bitmain.

Thank you.

+1 I support this sentiment completely  Smiley
