So which pools do you suggest?
I like ozcoin  Agreed |

possible bug to report:
I am seeing 2.8.2 crash on multiple linux machines about once every 24 hours
by crash I mean it just closes itself one min you see shares being accepted the next min you see $ command prompt - no error msg given
dont know if its a segmentation fault or what but it happens once a day
You might want to switch to cgminer and avoid these issues https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0 |

how's the security of a router stand up to that of running cgminer in linux? All the routers in question here are Linux. And if someone can break into your router, they can bypass it entirely. So the security of the network depends on the security of the router itself. Your point being what? What specifically do you want to interject with your comment? Which router? My comments were specifically toward the hardware that is controlling that is running the miner program. If you use a piece of hardware (router) to run a miner, it is just as vulnerable as any PC on your network, unless you take steps to harden it. DD-WRT does a good job of hardening their setups. I was agreeing with you, and trying to explain to cypherdoc why it was obviously just as secure. Your original comment shows your intended objective of mis-information. As per your your statement, It can be generalized in this context, if you use DD-WRT to run cgminer, someone can break into your router. |

Unless you wish to spread more FUD and instill fear among potential users? Which router? Since DD-WRT is used so wide spread, including several manufacturers of routers, it seems a good bet that it is a good choice.

Most of the developers - myself included - have an income unrelated to Bitcoin. Though few would refuse a donation for our work, I myself never expected any payment for it. I work on what I like to, and if that benefits the community, so much the better.
Gavin however has worked on Bitcoin full-time since a long time, without any other income, and at least in my opinion he does a great job. Certainly it shouldn't be this foundation's only purpose, but I see no harm in making sure he can keep working on this project.
Bullshit! I think he could probably retire off of the coins he has now if he simply keeps working to ensure the exchange to fiat rate continues to grow. No other income is necessary considering he was probably mining and testing the live system since 50 btc blocks were popping up on a solo client every few seconds!Tread lightly, don't make a claim that you don't know to be true and then base your argument off that unfounded claim. This is beside the point that your argument makes no feasible sense. And that was his choice.
Wether it was his choice or not is erroneous. If such foundation exists, and one which would like to pay Gavin and the other devs to keep the work of Bitcoin up to par with other emerging technologies, ahead of the hackers, and make sure the quality is fantastic, there is nothing wrong with that. Then he should ask to be paid, and define the scope of work he will accomplish with time lines and milestones just as any other pay for work contract, with no equity state in the "governing" organization. Otherwise it can be suspicious as a conflict of interest. |

When will you implement var diff for miners?

You are using a compatible Router (in my case I currently use an ASUS RT-16n, I have used a Cisco/Linksys 3000 and 4200v1) - it controls my FPGAs using cgminer, the router uses max 8 watts vs 200watts for a PC
What computer uses 200W at idle? Mine uses 85W, and it's not a small or cheap system. Most laptops will be between 20-30W, and my old netbook used to use 12W. Good for you, I'm so happy your using power efficient units. Where did I say idle or laptops? You did not say idle, but since we're talking about mining with USB devices (and nothing else), the CPU will pretty much be idle the entire time. My point is just that while DD-WRT is totally kickass, the power savings aren't really all that much. If the computer is off while your not using it, the small savings add up. how's the security of a router stand up to that of running cgminer in linux? Fine, I run it behind my regular firewall. If your paranoid, use ssh keys for access, docs are on any web search. |

I'm getting very high CPU usage on Win7 using ver 2.7.7. Basically 1 core is almost always near 100%. Anyone else with the same issue?
Use linux. |

I could now use the API to periodically reorder them. I wonder if there is a way to make the automatic switching not mess with the priority. I have been trying 2.8.x. I don't even have a stratum pool so it's fairly worthless to try. I won't find any bugs. Since eclipse is so reliable I really have not been able to retest the failover.
I think it would be pretty cool to be able to easily reorder and add pools in miner.php. If you can switch pools and switching causes the one switched to, to move in the order to the top you just have to start at lowest priority then switch to increasingly higher priorities. At least I thought you could switch in the API. setup a script to run in reverse order: echo -n "switchpool|$1" | nc "$ip" "$port" where $1 is the pool to switch to $ip is your rig's ip $port is the api port - default is 4028 |

DD-WRT is completely badass. I had no idea this existed. explain why its better, please You are using a compatible Router (in my case I currently use an ASUS RT-16n, I have used a Cisco/Linksys 3000 and 4200v1) - it controls my FPGAs using cgminer, the router uses max 8 watts vs 200watts for a PC |

can someone explain what the setup is? i don't understand why you'd want to run cgminer on a router. you're not trying to mine with the router's proc right?..
no, you mine on the FPGA attached to the router via USB, attached to the router instead of a pc because a router uses very little electricity i'm new to this concept so forgive me. but you use the pc to monitor the routers results right? how much more electricity does the pc use over the router? You can when you want to. ASUS RT-16 uses a max of 8watts vs a pc starting at 200 watts |

Wow! Newegg is fast, the PSU is already here.
They are quite good with sending you stuff, not so good when you need to send something back. |
