Hi BitBacco
I've been using macminer for the mini-setup (2 jala, 20 BE) with macminer without issue for months now.
I was recently given 1 Red Bitfury usb miner.
I haven't been able to get it running with macminer under the FPGA/ASIC Device miner with the rest of my miners. It does not detect it.
I can however run a window of CG miner and it will detect and hash with the bitfury device without issue. The only issues I run into is that I need to run the 2 separate windows, not such a big deal at all.. but also in the CGminer window it is constantly spitting out this type of error ( its still trying to initialize the BEs and Jala even though they are mining already.)
[2013-12-17 14:09:25] BitForceSC detect (253:37) failed to initialise (incorrect device?)

[2013-12-17 14:10:54] Icarus detect (253:16) failed to initialise (incorrect device?)
Combined I still get the proper hashrate reported as far as I can tell, could these errors be slowing me down at all? Could they be avoided somehow? Can I get the bitfury device to run under BFGminer (FPGA/ASIC window) with all my other devices?
I've tried the -S bigpic:all command and when I do this, none of the devices are detected at all.
Anyways, any ideas?
Thanks

Unfortunately the little fury driver is broken in bfgminer for Mac so for now cgminer is the only way to go. if you identify the device as per here: http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/macminer/docs/devices.htmlI believe you can set -S /dev/cu.yourdevice in cgminer and it should stop looking for others . Thanks for the quick help! I am trying now to identify the device, but I cannot see it in my list of cu.* devices crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 51 17 Dec 12:00 /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 53 17 Dec 13:01 /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 47 17 Dec 13:01 /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Serial-1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 49 17 Dec 13:01 /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Serial-2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 57 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART ( BLOCK ERUPTERS - 20 in total)crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 59 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART29 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 61 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART30 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 63 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART31 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 65 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART32 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 67 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART33 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 69 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART34 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 71 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART35 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 73 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART36 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 75 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART37 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 77 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART38 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 79 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART39 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 81 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART40 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 83 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART41 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 85 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART42 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 87 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART43 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 89 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART44 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 91 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART45 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 93 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART46 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 95 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART47 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 99 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.usbserial-FTWINKIX (JALA 1 )crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 97 17 Dec 16:23 /dev/cu.usbserial-FTWMMYGN (JALA 2)It is currently hashing so it is definitely working. Any other place I can find the name of the device? ls -l /dev/* didn't show me anything that was obviously the bitfury miner either. |

Hi all,
I have a 4 module avalon. I am wondering, for about 2 months I have run -auto with absolute success.
I haven't had more than a 1/2 hour of downtime due to power outage.
Now the miner is reporting DH 5.41%
it happens sometimes. I have a few systems that shoot up to 20% or worse hardware errors. They are flawless otherwize Just do a software reboot of the machine and it usually fixes it. In the worst case, just power it down and boot it up after 20 seconds I did reboot and things were ok for about 10 min then it moved back up to ~4% Oh well, doesn't seem to be reporting anything weird on my pool hash rate.. Guess i'll try to ignore it. Thanks! |

It was hovering about 1-2 for the longest time.
Anything I can do to fix this? What could be the problem?
Thank you in advance.

Hi all, 1st of all, AFRICA IS A CONTINENT. Try to at least speak like y'all got a western education. These assholes took me for 7.4 BTC a couple of months ago. I assume most of you other victims got the email yesterday talking about refunds? I mailed info@asic-market.com and some guy answered back saying that Asic-Tech is 'blackmailing' him by forwarding their unsatisfied customers to them. Now I don't know what the hell 'blackmailing' means, but it sure as hell sounds suspect to me. Has anyone managed to find more details on the owner of the site?

Has anyone managed to pinpoint where their server is being accessed from? I think with the combined evidence of posts on bitcointalk about this company (and boy there a quite a number of threads on Asic-tech) we can take this guy down if he's found. If I can get an address, I can send somebody there to check it out. There have been nothing but naysayers and pessimists every-time I bring the subject up of tracking this motherfucker down but I think the more he scams the more tracks he's leaving behind. No one ever said Africa wasn't a continent, actually my comments about Africa, which can be referred to as such, as it is a single continent with a single name, were about how big and vast it is and how there are so many differing areas of governance and also none at all, that it would be next to impossible to find him if he was in Africa, anywhere in Africa. Especially if all you knew was "Africa" as being the most information you have to go on. I know its off topic but your simple quick comments that you probably weren't thinking about were misguided, misinformed, and baseless. Unfortunately people who think along these lines usually do fall for scams rather easily, as they don't read the whole of the situation and make educated decisions. My advice would be read things in full before you comment or buy. |

damn, i was going to buy some blades. forget that. Anyone have a reputable vendor for blades now?
Wtcr.ca is an official asicminer store for canada. Blades are really not worth spending the bitcoin right now though. They don't make more than they will cost in coin. |

Notice his comment about Africa. I would assume he is pulling this scam from so place in Africa and isn't worried about stealing bitcoin, as it isn't "legal currency"
I don't know about you, but if somebody who scammed me told me he lives in Africa, I'd expect him to be everywhere but there. Africa is big enough and unregulated enough to pull scams right out in the open, do you really think if I said "I live in Africa- come find me!" that you would actually be able to do that? Even with a law enforcement agency helping you out it would be MORE than difficult unless I was a very well known individual who stays in one spot all the time, and I pay taxes, and have a job, and went to school and have I live in somewhat affluent area.. I would assume someone pulling this scam can be moving all around Africa pretty freely with those kind of money reserves. I have family who have been in Africa for years. |

My payout happened today. (but with no transaction fee the wait time on confirmation is est. 28 hrs! lol)
Transaction now confirmed. I got my coin. Thanks. |

I, and a few others, have now received our payouts. Thanks Graet. Everyone check your wallets now.
agreed.. payouts are flowing My payout says that it happened but it hasn't. It has not gotten to my wallet Website even sends me a link to see my wallet balance but does not show the transaction. Please rectify. |

I wish you all luck, my 4 module miner I purchased in october is probably going to pay itself off by beginning of January worst case feb-mar, and should mine a good chunk of dust for a while afterwards. As soon as I got my unit, I put in a 1200w power supply that I already owned, updated the firmware, set --avalon-auto and it has not stopped since. No errors, no problems.
I have my unit "open" with a fan blowing in from the side. Keeps the unit around 40-44 deg. Getting between 110-116gh/s stable, relentless. Very dust free, cool environment.
Maybe their current systems are more stable? Better equipment?
I was even running at 375mhz but noticed I was getting better rates set to auto. Too many hardware errors at 375mhz. It hovers between 345-355 in auto mode.
I've looked around inside, nothing smells, no burns, no weird glue problems. The case seems bloody bullet proof.
Again, good luck.

Sent 600 Emails to CHRIS THE LOSSER SCAMMER ASSHOLE and got a reply:
"Nothing can be done to stop whats happening you know.Bitcoin is not a legal currency in Africa you understand.I will keep taking monies from stupid mugu's like you and all people"
OMG HES TRYING TO DRIVE ME CRAZY SOMEONE HELP ME RACK HIM DOWN
Notice his comment about Africa. I would assume he is pulling this scam from so place in Africa and isn't worried about stealing bitcoin, as it isn't "legal currency" This is obviously some "Prince of the Ivory coast" I highly doubt its possible to track him down unless all of a sudden the police/authorities had actual control in Africa (don't want to slam all of Africa here, but I do not know of a very stable country with authorities actually doing good on the whole continent). He is probably a cop at home. Same type of person who e-mails you about western union and shipping costs upfront for your craigslist sales. Or about his family fortune that you just need to send $1000 for the transfer fees and you will get to keep the rest while his country is in turmoil. Somehow these sites should be blacklisted by google or something. Especially when it can be seen they are scamming so much money away from people. |

So, does anyone know the situation with the payouts?
Is all fixed now for future payouts? I have enough confirmed balance to pass my threshold, but it has not yet paid out since this morning.
Just wondering.
A watched pot never boils Good point, was just "worried" because of the recent payout issues. But I got my payout soon after. Analogy also works here when watching the stats page for too much of the day too.. Seems we have much better luck when I am not staring at a 10hr block with my finger on Cmd+R (mac speak for reload) |

I stopped using this pool, because things just did not add up.
This was after running two sets of miners concurrently against Ozpool and Elgius
As I stated, I have made 3 times the amount on other pools in a pretty good time frame, all with varying degrees of luck during that time. They just about averaged out. 3 times more. Thats a little strange. If my shares continue to trickle in because of the weird way DGM works, I suppose its just bad luck in some way and eventually I would have evened out. But I don't see it. Also it will take weeks to happen at the slow rate the pool is finding blocks… |

I have decent access to the formatted area of the drive. Do you think this thing will attempt to pull any *.key files? EDIT: It's all gone. Because its a very small drive, it likely got overwritten already. Tried with 3 different apps and none of them came back with any kind of wallet related file. I would definitely take this to an expert unless you are sure that you have done all that is humanly possible to recover those coins. Experts have special ways of getting data back, but there are obviously limits. Imagine they are worth $100,000.00 each and start there. (even if one day they are worth 0, the possibility will haunt you. I had at least 50 coins when they were worth a buck or so. Totally forgot about (didn't care about) the wallet at the time. Formatted my drive.) I don't want to beat this into the ground but you totally need to keep a current backup on usb key, or a few of them. I have 2 computers here that are just used for backup purposes. Each with a few drives. Not on the internet. I put a copy of my wallet every couple of days on each of their drives, and also I have the copy on my usb key. (Daily/weekly backups are especially important when you are doing lots of transactions anytime recently) Also, for my coins in cold storage, I have printed copies of my private keys in 2 safes in different locations. I know some people take this process way further, especially for those with lots of coins, I've only got a few in total. |

back to bitminter. This time for good. I love this pool. It just feels right
Welcome home  Doc… This is probably the biggest reason. Your presence and constant help are a big asset to your pool. Although I've moved on to hardware with it's own interface, your Java based software was and still is the easiest way to get mining for a beginner. Good luck all. |

I used to mine on slush a very long time ago... Good old days. Too bad i can't cash out the remaining 1.6 mBTC  Minimum is set to 0.01. It seems a bit ridiculous that the pools don't have "empty my account" options. They probably have a lot of coin sitting there if you add up all that change from everyone on the pool. I can understand a minimum payment for regular payouts to reduce fees and network traffic. But how about if I haven't mined for a month? - maybe there should be some sort of auto monthly payout if you have been inactive for a long while.. Pool operators need to get more transparent and more vocal as there is a lot of money involved and people seem to have only partial ability to seek out help. I am sure the minimum will be increased (or decreased depending how you look at it) as the price of bitcoin increases. But I agree with your sentiments. It's not ridiculous, it's a business model allowing pool owners to earn extra BTC. I cant imagine the amount of forsaken BTC laying around there, lower or higher than 0.01. Umm.. No.. It's totally ridiculous as this is a form of stealing. A business model that revolves around theft is still theft. (I know its fractions of pennies for now..dust.. but still..could be worth more one day.) Ridiculous in that it is unfair, not that its not a "smart idea" for the pool owners, its just unethical. Anyways, as Trongersoll says, you can get your remaining coins from slush by closing your account. Thats just fine then. I'll have to look into the other pools.. |
