Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

Does the hashrate on the Sierra automatically adjust higher/lower based on temperature, or is it a manual setting?

In one of the initial posts you mention how to get a Sierra going on a Win7 machine. I was wondering if anyone has actually verified that works.

When Hashfast redid their website, the new sierra prose on there is much more specific to Linux than the original. Not having any Linux rig around and with my Sierra (hopefully) coming towards month-end I'm a little worried it will be sitting here not mining while I madly scramble to get something connected to it so I can run it.

Looking forward to seeing overclocking FAQs and results.

Thanks big time for creating this thread.

So the pool is down, eh?

Suggestion:

It would be really helpful for statistical nerds if you could add some data to the block reporting. The oldest pool out there (Slush's BTC pool) reports like this:

http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/

Block ID (pool's internal ID)
Block found at (date/time)
Duration (hh:mm:ss)
Total shares (total shares submitted that block)
Your Shares (the total shares I submitted that block)
Your BTC Reward (what I earned that block in BTC)
Block # (the BTC blockchain identifier)
Block Value (total value of the block)
Validity (# of confirmations left or "Confirmed")

The Fixx pool reporting page has most of this, but it is specifically missing the # of shares I submitted and my PPC reward for that round. These are important data for determining my productivity. With those data I'm able to do projections on future earnings and other important projections.

It would be great if you could implement this reporting change for pool participants.

Moved from mining BTC to PPC. I have 12 USB ASCI Block Eruptors. I hoping someone here can let me know i what I'm seeing seems correct.

I have the gear running for 45 minutes and only have a total of 76 accepted work items reported on my mining console (BFGMiner). Some of the miners only have a couple of accepted work items. Hardware error rates are under 1% and there is zero rejected work. I am seeing several "Stratum from pool 0 requested work update" messages in between each notice of an accepted item. The status line consistently shows 5 items in the queue for work. Some of the accepted work diffs going by are 4.88k/32, 44/32, 118/32, 1.21k/32, etc. The "best" difficulty block reported is 188k.

In general, this accepted work rate is far slower than what I was seeing mining Slush's BTC pool.

I'm wondering if this is normal PPC pool behavior at PPC.fixx.ru behavior?

I'm located West Coast USA, if that makes any difference. I'm using BFGMiner and my bgminer.conf file is listed below (I've edited out the pwd).

Any help provided would be appreciated.

Thanks!

[Edited to clarify some things]

*** Solved.
*** Solved. If anyone would like a copy of the spreadsheet, join Slush's Pool and drop by our IRC. Look up "Eidolonius" or ask for a link to his site.

The calculator atop your difficulty page is fabulous and it's really helped me get a handle on ROI for equipment purchases. To use it, however, I've got to hand copy difficulty predictions I make from my own spreadsheet into your form and hand-copy the BTC/mo result back. Any chance you'd be willing to share the equation with me so I can automate it?

The bottom part of my spreadsheet is this:

Date.....Difficulty.....MH/s......BTC/day

The top half of my spreadsheet generates the first two columns, I enter the third based on delivery dates of equipment. What I need is the formula for the fourth.

Put more simply, for a given Difficulty (D) and a given hashrate (H), what's the Excel formula to calculate BTC/day?

Thanks again for a great tool and double thanks if you can help me out with the math here.

Thanks,
D

P.S.: FYI, if you're considering adding more technical analysis tools, you might consider On Balance Volume next. I think that would be very useful to get a picture of the volume-based movement. (I do technical analysis of stocks for a living, so I especially appreciate having these tools applied to BTC.)


(Edit: Changed the desired output to BTC/day)

Do you have data showing luck by week? The more I watch these data, the more I don't think luck reverts to a mean.

Is there firm word on when the hardware will be ready for general delivery? Specifically the Fast-Hash-One silver?

Can you use ASIC USBs with GUIMiner?

I've seen the answer both ways here and elsewhere.

If yes, then can anyone share a "how-to"?

If no, is this a planned new feature for the future?

Thanks,
D

So, the only notification I get when I find one in GUIMiner (on the left) is 25BTCs showing up in Bitcoin Wallet on my right?



Just want to confirm I understand all this...
