Only 2.5kg? That doesn't sound like that much for 'mass' shipping.

Yeah, as debit noted. One of many.

The units are probably individually boxed.

Which is good. Open, test, reseal, relabel, reship.

Are we supposed to get tracking numbers for these shipments, or are we supposed to just wait at the door for the next week?   Cheesy

Guess if these things shipped already, impossible to get a refund for this...



All of our units coming from us thru our store will get automatic emails from Shopify with your tracking, and if you chose UPS, a separate email from them.

Our first units have been confirmed via Tracking to have left Black Arrow, ETA is Friday/Saturday/Monday depending on the UPS Express timing. Our next shipment is to leave BA Monday/Tuesday, that should comprise of the rest of Batch One, and almost all if not all of Batch 2 and 3. More information to follow.

None of these units have LCDs, I was informed they would be ready after the shipment next week.

At least something got confirmed, Thanks Bobsag. Can we safely assume no compensation units are shipping with the original orders? I still need to buy power supplies.

As far as I have been informed/asked, All originally ordered units will go out first, with compensation units to follow immediately afterwords.

Thanks for the updates! Honestly, this is better than I had expected. I look forward to finally firing this thing up.

Buy Antminer S1's. You can get them damn cheap because they aren't that efficient anymore. But you don't care about efficiency.

You'll need power supplies and network access.

Not Asci- Sha.

And I don't think there's software that will support the R-box, the antminers and the Gridseeds.

I'd use minepeon for the SHA (Bitcoin) stuff. You might have to compile your own miner program to use the R-boxes though I hear official support is in the latest build of CGminer

For the Scrypt units I'd use Minera, unless you're dead-set on dual-mining with them, in which case use hashra.

But you should get another raspberry pi. You should be able to find this for less than $30.

thanks for correcting me to SHA256 :)and your advise on minepeon

i tested rockminer on windows and it worked very well. any leads for $30 pi

im curious if anyone has had an issue of Minera going offline? i checked mine this morning at it went offline at some point over night. i was hoping that the system would see that and reboot but alas, that did not happen. any suggestions?
BTW. i love the look and simplicity of the Minera dashboard.

I have this problem where occasionally the miners will go down and the minera dashboard, and even the lighttpd test page will return a 404. I'm unable to ssh into the machine when this is happening and I can't find anything in the logs to indicate that something is going on, much less what.

I suspect one of the partitions on the SD card is spontaneously un-mounting periodically.

My solution is I have a monitoring service check the lighttpd default page every 30 minutes. If it doesn't find the normal text, it sends me an email which is specially labeled by a gmail rule. Then I have an IFTTT rule that checks for new emails with that label. The whole mining rig is plugged into a WeMo outlet and if there's a new email matching the miner being down, it power cycles the whole rig.

Byzantine, yet highly effective.

The wemo outlet also allows me to monitor the power consumption and remotely power off or power on the rig if needed so it's a neat thing to have.

http://gizmodo.com/one-user-controls-over-half-of-bitcoin-mining-and-thats-1591328374

Actually No.

Over the last four days Ghash's share of found blocks rests at 34% and over the past 24 hours at 29%

Poolside reported hashrate is 38PH/s down from 42PH/s.

I moved my miners away last week. But they don't have anywhere near 51% anymore.

In fact, most of the "OMG 51%" stories being published NOW, the gizmodo piece included and especially, are nothing more than uninitiated FUD.

I'm most likely keeping my miners off of Ghash for the foreseeable future. But the sky is not falling.

With a 29% of Unknown hash power , it 's not too hard to see where that hashrate has gone.

They just hid some PH there to make it look like they are doing something..


That's not completely implausible, though the unknown percentage of found blocks has been that high for some time.
188  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: *** GHash.IO mining pool official page *** on: June 16, 2014, 06:19:08 PM

We never have and never will participate in any 51% attack or double spend against Bitcoin.


It's important and valuable that you've responded to the community's concerns - however personally I feel like much of the potential weight of your statement is rendered moot by the fact that you make the above statement which is partially false.

It can be interpreted as true, if we are to understand that "We" means "Our organization as directed by our management"

Yet, double spends were carried out using your pool by insiders with the explanation being that these were rouge employees not acting under the direction of management or the organization as a whole.

And therein lies the rub.

While it does not take a master logician to deduce that it would be far from organizational best interests to attempt a double spend or other exploit against the network based on a majority hashrate, the fact remains that bad actors inside your organization have done exactly that in the past.

Therefore, regardless of how benevolent a pool operator is deemed to be, having that much power in one place is inherently dangerous. Such logic is commonplace. No one man acting of his own congress generally has the ability to launch a nuclear weapon, for example.

The Nakamoto whitepaper specifically identifies Bitcoin as a trustless system. That's the beauty of it. Everything is independently verifiable. But, as we're all very aware, enough power in one place and all of a sudden trust is a very real part of it. It's not, per se, that we don't want to trust you - It's that by the nature of the ecosystem into which we have all taken part in, we don't want to have to trust you. Or anyone for that matter.

The mining community at large has long been aware of this, and I'm glad to hear that you're open to discussion. Lets keep it a trustless system. Show us your commitment to preserving the ecosystem by the metaphorical blockchain of your next steps.

I think getting on board with the GBT protocol would be simply gigantic in demonstrating this commitment. I know Luke-jr agrees with me, and I surmise many others do as well.

There also may be alternative measures you would be better suited to take - my understanding of the core-level structure of the protocol and your pool are not complete enough to say with authority exactly what you should do.

But more than you should say anything, you should do something, and it should be a step that makes it very clear your commitment to keeping the network trustless, and you should be very public and completely transparent about it.

And that is simply my two cents.
189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [Minera v0.2.2] Your next mining dashboard is here. on: June 16, 2014, 05:07:41 PM
Is there a way to display the dashboard on the local machine?  I have a great little 3x4" display for my pi's and it would be awesome to be able to get a quick view of the dashboard by looking there instead of having to start up my main PC and navigate to the web interface.

Are you looking for display of the web-dashboard? Is that an HDMI or Composite display?

Or are you looking for something for a little dot-matrix-lcd on there?

In terms of the web dashboard, I don't think there's any reason why minera couldn't run on top of full rasbpian with a desktop installed. Then just launch a browser and point it at localhost.

In terms of a small dot matrix lcd. that's theoretically possible too. I know minepeon had a plugin to support the piface displays, it might be able to be ported to minera.

TL;DR - Probably with a bit of effort but not out of the box.

Cant we all just get along?

Yes it sucks that there are lots of delays,
Why do we have multiple pages per day of people complaining.
Nothing much can happen in 1 day. Maybe every 2 weeks have a talk about it.

I feel sorry for BobSagg3 and others from Minersource and BlackArrow having to waist their time reading all these threads of unhappy people.

There is nothing we can do it is out of our hands, let's just wait for them to arrive or if you are really unhappy then try for a refund. But fighting in forums does nothing good.

They are doing the best they can! and sending them X-1's out now and they got the X-3's working.
As for compensation, yea it sucks, Yea everyone wants this and that.
But they are already giving us a pretty good compensation and remember this is a small company that is trying to sell their product they are not made of gold and can give us all 5 times what we purchased.

This sucks as much for them as for us.

Shit happens.

Let's relax and await for our product and talk positively.

I can not wait to receive my 3 X-1's they are replacing my old blades that I just stoped using due to their efficiency and heat during the summer. They were awesome for the Winter I have my server room under the stairs with a vent i put n on the landing and it heated my house during the winter lol. Heck I might use them again next winter for heat not much less efficient than a heater + mining.

Thanks

Ash

Nice try with the newbie account BA!  You get no sympathy from us, especially after tying customers money as early as September in some cases.

Disgruntled, angry, and frustrated customers is what you get when you overpromise and underdeliver(don't deliver?) on time.



I really doubt that's a second black arrow account. It's more conceivable that someone is just trying to be what they deem to be a voice of reason.

I think the whole situation is a bit unreasonable to be honest - but there probably could be a bit more decorum about it on everyone's part. Including theirs.

Looking good! Love the responsive design. Looks much better on ye iPhone.

One note: the menu on the side still does not appear in ios safari even when the show/hide button is pressed. It shows the pane but it is blank.

Far from an urgent issue, but after you enjoy your vacation it might be something to look at.
In the meanwhile, enjoy your vacation! If anyone is in desperate need of an IMG I'm happy to post one.

Thanks for the feedback, just fixed! If you wanna have it just try a simple "sudo git pull origin master" from the Minera directory.
It should work.


Damn your'e fast  Grin

I will check it out when I get home, I've found it's unwise to muck around with my miners via CLI remotely from work.
Not that I'd lose that much money if I couldn't get it running again, but it would bother me the whole rest of the day.

In the meanwhile, dragging that donation slider up another notch.  Cheesy

I have just put BFGMiner 4.2.0 on my MinePeon setup.  Did you need to do any special compiling to have it detect your R-Box?

Were you able to get it working with minepeon? I've had no such luck as yet, but I didn't try particularly hard...

Experimental support for R-Box in mainline cgminer is now in git.
Cgminer version 4.4.0 has full support for it now.

That is fantastic news! Thanks!

Someone was wondering here about the RaspPi's capacity to handle more than one miner process.

This is my average system load with a 512 Mb Pi controlling two Gridseed Blades so I guess the answer is yes.

I would love to be able to use my 160 chips in separate pools, 40 chips in each pool.

Kinda like what we now can do with the frequency settings for individual blades.

Can it be done with minerd? Running four instances of the miner, one for each blade?  Huh

Or shall I wait for michelem to get cgminer into Minera?

Anxiously waiting for it…  Roll Eyes



You can run as many cpuminer process as you want, I don't think it's a problem for the Rpi resources, the real problem is getting them to work together that could be a real pain 'cause you need to set them up each one by hand (I mean by command line). Then Minera won't work because it listens only on one TCP port (4028) while you should use as many as processes you have.


Are you saying that this feature is  out the question for Minera?  Huh

Aren't you working on cgminer support? Wouldn't that change things? Having the built-in support for pool balance and all?

I want to keep on using Minera, I really do, but I hate wasting my time hashing away on a less profitable pool.

My goal is to spread my hashing power across of the most profitable pools and take my chances, winning some and losing some. On average, it will increase my chances to improve my earnings. At least, in theory...  Tongue



Not for nothing I've never seen load-balancing pool switching work as advertised. Just saying.

Wut? I can log in with my iphone fine.

It's a LITTLE annoying because if you go to ghash.io and you're not logged in, it bounces you to login, and when you do you load the cex.io homepage.

But if you click that little ghash.io button you're taken and logged into the pool. Not sure the issue you have.

I will still be receiving my first batch next week, I have elected to receive the entire batch without the LCD in order to get them ASAP. Screens will be received and distributed after the fact those who want it.
Restoring confidence when BA can't seem to, Thank you Bobsag3. I have emailed you asking for a refund, i sent a follow up talking about this message saying i do NOT need a refund. Information like this changes a lot of things, thank you for making Minersource a great company that is able to keep things moving foward and letting us know about it.

I appreciate the feedback.
I should be getting most if not all of my B1 X1s next week, and we will be pulling as long days as required to get as many shipped back out same day as physically possible. Even our UPS pickup guy has offered to chip in if we need the help.

While I can't say the same about BA, you and by extension minersource have earned a loyal customer in me for as long as I'm in this game. Good luck with the shipping.

Semi related - do we know if there's any chance of getting the lcd's shipped out after the miners for customers comfortable installing them? Honestly I prefer mine to have no screen (less power draw) but if I could install it later it could boost resale value.

Thank you again.
