Fucking ugly day today, orpahans and a good 1.5 TH/s less of suckers :/

spiccioli

8 TH/s at current difficulty are worth around 35 BTCs/day, so less than 1 and a half of a block/day.

spiccioli

This is not variance, two orpahans in a row is just plain bad luck :/

spiccioli

Speaking of CM4s do you have any updated specs? Price, delivery times etc?

spiccioli

Two orpahans in two days! 

WTF?

spiccioli

I agree, I've spent more than 10 hours until now, the problem is sometimes the unit spirals down for unknown reasons.

I've made a couple changes to the miner, but they're not enough for it not to happen.

Fun thing is this morning I was just thinking about the fact the ASIC makers are more or less like a Mint selling coins below their face value.

Mining is going to be restricted to a selected few which can build an hashing chip, those who sold until now did this just to cover their expenses and as such have a better return...

spiccioli

Same for me, I pulled out my 2.4 BTCs, but I've been idle for weeks on localbitcoins, so I did not read anything from the site.

marto74,

I see a chip hashing very low from your image, chip 5, is this the same production problem of bfsb h-cards (bad soldering) or is this a problem with the chip itself?

will your cards have a guaranteed minimun speed?

spiccioli

Those counts are screwed by two batch 3 units at 101 BTCs each.

Avalon batch 1 and 2 did completely break-even and are now positive.

Giorgio,

can you give us a ballpark number of placed and paid-for orders so that we can estimate, at least partially, december difficulty since you're selling one of the most powerfull units around.

Thanks.

spiccioli

punin,

given bitmine.ch offerings for december... 2 TH/s 11.5K EUR, are you going to offer a november 5 (pack of) 400 GH/s units at a little higher price point?

Energy wise you should still be a little better than their announced 1.7 KW.

spiccioli

Yes, this is another options,

but after I reversed the fans and let it run for nearly a day I did not see any difference in speed.

I'm not pencil modding it yet, but it seems that at around 25 C ambient temp you can run it without fans.

spiccioli

ps. you can also lower the bar that holds card stoppers (I don't know how to call them ) putting a washer or two between the bar and the extrusion.

just swith to HHTT - heh

spiccioli

Coloring is better now, I'd say there are very few combinations left which pose some reading problems (to me).

Thanks  

spiccioli

Sorry to keep bothering you, table headers always white would be better, IMHO.

spiccioli

Fireduck,

it probably is that my eyes are becoming old

Anyway, here are three examples of what I find too dark to be able to easily read cell contents and visited links.

I confirm that reloading the page always works.

spiccioli

Yes,

you can build it yourself with a


spiccioli

Ha!

I thought this could be the reason, vibration induced by the flow, so I removed my fans from Spotswood case.

I'll try to have them reversed, so that they suck up air through the cards instead of pushing it, this should cause less vibrations.

We'll see.

spiccioli

Ah ok

spiccioli

ps. Do you have time to give some love to the coloring code? Lighter backgrounds or dark ones but with a light foreground color... I'd venture to say... no bleak backgrounds!
