I've had one running with zero issues for three weeks, and being the original test board it was stressed more than the rest. As long as you keep them cool they should work just as long as stock.
Asking price dropped to 1BTC
some people still don't understand how difficulty works it will be well over 500m in 4 days, closer to 550m most likely. so you can get about .08 or .09 bitcoins in 4 days, and the price of that will drop another .2 btc actually, that exocyst offer, you should probably take it on the 7th |

I currently use hardcpp's frontend to make p2pool easier on the eyes when tracking my miners. However, I'd like to view a smaller view of the main p2pool.info site on that same page, so I can have everything in one tab. Is that possible?
Basically I just want to see Current Round on my server's main stats page. The last 5 Recent Blocks would be nice to know as well. hardcpp's frontend has something called "Last Blocks" which is empty for me, so I'm not sure if that's *supposed* to mirror the Recent Blocks that the main site shows or if it only shows any blocks that my miners happened to personally solve (versus sharing someone else's block solve).
It's supposed to show all the blocks that p2pool has gotten in the last day or so except it hasn't gotten any go get one ASAP |

So you are saying he should take a 4 BTC offer and thank his lucky stars for it? What about the person who buy's for 4 BTC will they every see a ROI with 40% difficulty rises? Why then even buy mining equipment? Why not trade your fiat to BTC and gamble on just-dice?
Everyone has their own reason why they mine or buy BTC. For some it is just a hobby and they don't care about ROI. I am in that boat. I would mine and then sell the hardware in January. If I get screwed by someone on eBay or Craig's list I really don't care. I will buy a new hashfast machine for the going rate and mine BTC. I don't play golf or exercise much. I don't have kids and I am a fat computer nerd who has nothing better to do with his off time and BTC. This is my hobby so I don't care about ROI.
week old thread, but I assume seller hasn't sold it yet, so still an active topic what you said above is exactly correct, that's part of the reason why no ASIC is worth buying right now... but '4-6' BTC back on the 23rd certainly was not a 'lowball' offer. honestly, 6 BTC would have been an absurdly HIGH offer. the 4 btc on the 21st was reasonable. it wasn't a 'lowball' by any means.... though if I were the one selling, I would have tried to negotiate up to 4.5 or 5btc. in any case, here we are one week later, and it's worth much, much less. if the miner was running the whole week, it would have gotten about 0.65BTC? it's lost a lot more than that in value |

All the BFL singles have been sold and shipped out. They all sold between 4.25-4.5 BTC each.
Thanks all!
at least those arent totally absurd prices like i've seen listed on some of these other threads, so kudos for that. i would have offered something like 3.5 (ed: when you initially posted updated prices on oct 29. probably something like 3-3.25 now, after seeing massive jump in network hashrate) |

Have one in hand, ebay buyer never purchased. 625$ paypaled and I will ship it free of charge. Just want to get rid of the damn thing. It has never been used.
US ONLY.
like the other guy said, I would offer you $400 shipped to Denver. chances are some guy will pay him the $625 via paypal and then do a chargeback btw, i think your $400 offer is insanely high. if i had one of those things, i'd off it to you in an instant |

dunno, i think my 0.6 was a very competitive offer
but i wouldn't pay that much anymore

p2pool.info is best at any time because of it nature!
- 0% fee
- PPLNS
- tx fee for miners
- decentralised (ddos impossible)
well, probably a majority of the people that use p2pool set up their own node... if it's using a computer that you usually have off, say, 18 hrs a day, then that's extra electricity costs. even if it's on a 24/7 computer, that's resources used up & higher load i ran a node locally for a bit on a very good computer (think it was an i7-920 at the time, maybe about 8 months ago)... but my upstream is capped so low that whenever I did anything else w/ my computer, it'd cause orphan issues w/ the local node. i got higher efficiency by just eating the 170ms latency to germany ofc there's http://p2pool-nodes.info/http://p2pool.hostv.pl/to find a pool. should have at least one backup, probably two. lower latency isn't always best, check what your DOA rate would be & check the pool's orphan rate. a pool that gets 10% orphans that you have 20ms latency to would probably be lower efficiency for you then a pool that gets 5% orphans w/ 150ms latency (this likely wasn't the case when the shares were 15s apart instead of 30s, but it reduces the importance of low latency) anyway. i agree, p2pool is the best. outside of that, i'd recommend hhtt and bitminter. possibly eclipsemc too, i haven't checked their fees in 1/2 a year or more though |

newer versions will process the blocks much faster, as other ppl mentioned
you could also be connected to some slow peers. whenever I fall far behind on the blockchain, I change bitcoin.conf to 1 max connection and just connect to one node (connect=xx.xx.xx.xx) that I know will send blocks just as fast as I can process 'em

Someone has a small bit of hash pointed at ZVS's server nogleg.com with the name "Mindlesss.worker1". If I understand p2pool right, you'll never get paid for your work as your worker name has to be your payout address.

that's correct it looks like I picked up someone else's share earlier (i'm at 0.0003 now) maybe p2pool should come with some 'instructions' tab on the web interface? i guess a lot of people have added something like this themself, but maybe should just be included as part of standard server Yes.
First, it's at least necessary for shares found after a new block is found to be orphaned, in order to not reward people for doing useless work. A preference for shares pointing to newer blocks that overrides the "first share received is the one to build on" rule was added to the P2Pool protocol.
There is no way for the P2Pool protocol rules to know whether a share came before or after the block - they can only see that there is a share pointing to a newer block at the same height of the (to be orphaned) share.
So, all the nodes could potentially only orphan shares that come after the block change, but there's nothing that prevents someone from orphaning all the shares they can, which would give them a slight advantage. So, I decided that nodes should be "maximally aggressive" and orphan others' shares whenever they can. This is at least fair, but it has the disadvantage of increasing the pool's orphaned share rate.
Future changes that make the P2Pool protocol rules more aware of how the Bitcoin blockchain works could potentially improve this, but for now, this is the way it has to be. OK, that makes sense... but wouldn't it be more fair to delay this punishment until the share after? Right now, probably 90% or more of the shares being penalized are being done so unjustly ed; forgot to add, i'll send whatever that errant share makes (if anything) to 1J1zegkNSbwX4smvTdoHSanUfwvXFeuV23 (forrestv address) |

I predict it'll be so high that you won't even be able to shake a stick at it

The difficulty is going out of control..
What you say! I just spent five millions on asics! |
|

|

well, my offer would be .6 bitcoins, i think i may be able to make ROI on that. good for 24 hours
any of those added components have useful scrap metal ?
maybe could add some based on that

https://bitminter.com/blocksToday this pool created a block with a reported work of 0. How is it even possible? Does it mean that it found two blocks with two consecutive shares? or maybe just because bitminter is so awesome Or its just me being awesome! this is true |

Originally with GPU I wasn't earning much,
! it was nice when 5830's paid for themselves in two days Really? when was that? from around the middle of may 2011 til the end of june (more like the middle of june, because difficulty started increasing a ton) oh, you also got shogun with your 5830s! |

not sure I understand this - can I short the contracts? If I do and withdraw the BTC how would they chase me for the bitcoin I would need to pay to the buyer of the contract? If I can't short the contracts, why not? Take away that facility and it is not a real market.
Isn't this just a prettier way of selling one of those nefarious perpetual mining bonds - the value of which only decreases over time?
There is no way to short these contracts, unless you are the issuer. And you are completely correct in saying that this is just another perpetual mining bond. I have no idea why this construct is suddenly so popular when it doesn't offer anything of value that hordes of previously launched PMBs don't. I guess it's the referral-bonus that turns people into walking advertisement boards. In any case, these things aren't going to make the 'investor' any money at their current price, except if you get lucky with daytrading them. With the price at its current levels, cex.io can just slowly release more and more units (taking care not to crash the price) and rake in the profits. And if they ever drop in price enough to become profitable, cex.io can just buy them back gradually on the market. A PMB that can't be shorted is a money-making-machine for one entity only: The issuer. CEX is just another middle man that want profits for themselves too. Guess its still cheaper to buy ASIC directly... i think it's cheaper just to buy bitcoins directly, buying ASICs leads to a 100% chance of losing money |

EMC has an EU server at eu.eclipsemc.com:3333 and 3 US servers at us1.eclipsemc.com:3333, us2.eclipsemc.com:3333 and us3.eclipsemc.com:3333
This dude is scum bag cockroach from NFL labs that has lied, abused and still leads customers I to vaporware! Do not trust this dirt bag in anyway or promote/ use any service he offers! He is pure dirt bag! BE WARNED! No shit? Wow. 2011 is calling, it wants it's news back. Everyone knows who Inaba is, thanks. While I'm no fan of BFL, Inaba's EMC is a good pool. It's stable, it's got good connections, I used it for a while and had no issues at all with it. same |

https://bitminter.com/blocksToday this pool created a block with a reported work of 0. How is it even possible? Does it mean that it found two blocks with two consecutive shares? It probably only polls the stats once every x seconds? Maybe 30 seconds? Block was found 20 seconds after the other one? or maybe just because bitminter is so awesome |
