Can I ask for some advice from the ASIC vets?
As I am SURE you all know, since I mention it all the damned time, I am mining Ben with a single Antminer U1, well, I want to expand on that, because, well, all the obvious reasons.
I was looking at Ebay and Amazon etc, found an ASICminer Block erupter cube 30 GH/s for $428, then found some single Block Erupter 10 GH/s blades on ebay for around $130-$150. The price for these is in my budget, so they are tempting, but I want some opinions/input on them. Are they worth a crap? Are they super hard to set up and keep running? etc.
I know they are not blazing fast, I am not looking to mine BTC, I am looking to mine Ben, and when/if Ben reaches such a high diff that even they are useless, a different sha256 coin.
Anyone care to put in their two cents?
I am of course, open to other hardware suggestions.
And I am not wanting the usual "just invest the money in the coin" response, I want to mine, support the network etc.
Thanks folks.
Anything under $10 per ghash is a pretty good price right now. With the blades you will be best off if you get the backpane and power supply for them, too, so you don't have to shock yourself trying to power it up. You can put up to 10 blades on one backpane and it makes life very easy |

I can assure you it has nothing to do with the Benjamins network
No I know that, but somewhere the franko client worked and saw the network for me on a virgin machine, and the benjamins wallet doesn't yet. I know they are all basically forks of the same coin, in the end. I mean it's like a different colored frisbee, I get it. Let us know when a new client connects without the needfuls and people will test it. Thanks. Yea, it's just replacing the seed nodes with active and stable machines. I've got the source all ready, we are just testing a few other tweaks Okay so it is a matter of having enough stable 24/7 nodes. No, we have about 50 connections on our daemon right now. It's about the seed nodes being changed. If the seed nodes are stable, it will connect to those first, then start a spider web from there finding peers of peers of peers of peers, etc The seed nodes in the released source and no longer considered stable This doesn't affect anything except the need to use addnodes in your conf file, though. No harm can be done |

Many thanks guys, for the help with the .bat and .conf files. I am now successfully syncing with the network and using the .bat file to launch the QT client. To da frikin moon!  Those files go in the install folder for benjamins? I created benjamins.conf and dropped it in there with the seednodes inside it as described but I have no network with the wallet.  I didn't compile I just used the binary. Where did you put those .bat and .conf files and what is their makeup? I want to deposit my benijis in my wallet. Use the list of addnodes In Roaming/Benjamins (if you can't find this, search for %appdata% in start menu), make a .conf file called benjamins.conf and put this in: rpcuser=x
rpcpassword=pass
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8080
server=1
gen=0
addnode=162.243.225.132
addnode=79.30.41.82
addnode=79.35.184.193
addnode=178.210.43.53
addnode=37.4.59.204
addnode=188.162.40.145
addnode=67.233.202.8
addnode=66.186.168.160
addnode=70.169.118.178
addnode=216.145.101.106
addnode=123.211.105.43
addnode=50.42.35.91
addnode=46.118.221.232
addnode=124.169.133.2
addnode=86.5.174.41
addnode=151.50.110.59
addnode=184.75.214.210 Then make a .bat in the same folder with your QT and in the .bat type this: Then run the .bat to launch the QT (or you can put -server in the QT itself's parameters) Hope this helps |
