If <hardware = GPU> then stop;
if <hardware = FPGA> then keep going;

I loved this project, used it for months.. would sure like to see it come back to life..

love the idea... Hope it sees use!

NNTP access?

Personally, though I have hardware early pre-ordered (June) I've recently ordered more. I suspect my recent orders (End of September) won't arrive till January, but they should still be profitable.. they won't be 3 month ROI's like some are expecting in the short term, but paying for itself in 9-12 months seems like a smart investment to me.

here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg1229746#msg1229746) too, in the cgminer thread.

Well done, nicely organized, good catch on the "libudev-dev".

While I see r-pi listed in the subject, I see no instructions or downloads provided. Am I missing something?

For Raspbian, my steps went something like this:


install required parts:

grab latest version:

tell it to configure itself

upon successful configure with no errors, compile it

upon successful compile, run in "benchmark" mode to make sure it's alive

stock 700mhz ARM gets right around 118Kh/s.



[edit: added libudev-dev - thx for pointing out the miss]

Say yes to pickups, and I will be there.

No, I wasn't saying I think 25TH will ship on November 1st. I was using that as an example.

In favor of that.

As a bonus, can we pick up our orders while we're there, save lots of shipping and delay? 

While it's hard to know:
-- how much ASIC is actually presold,
-- how much will actually ship first batch,
-- the date those will ship on,
-- how fast people while get them online

Thinking out loud and using some easy math.

2016 blocks (or 100.8k btc) is generated between diff adjustments. Each diff adjustment is -about- 13-14 days

Let's assume 25Thash of ASIC miners get into the hands of the masses, on November the 1st.
Difficulty is 3.8M (assuming 10% jumps between now and then).

How much coin is mined at 3.8M difficulty?
day 1: 25TH will bring an extra 129 blocks into the network, or about 6466 coins. (adding to the 129 blocks from existing 25TH)
day 2: same
day 3: same
day 4: same
day 5: same
day 6: same
day 7: sometime in Day 7 (7.81 days in) you've hit 2016 blocks and diff is going up.  Diff is going up to 7M (based on 50TH network rate), and you've just killed any GPU miner who pays more than about 11 cents/kw/hr for their power.

You've also moved the reward drop date back from 11/30 to 11/15 or less, and mined about 45k extra coins.

So not "stupid" amounts of coin, but at $10/btc, that's still an extra $450k USD of coin you're expecting to sell, to .. someone?

Give Con's weight and involvement in the community, I think it would be well worth the price of the ticket and hotel to have him fly over to inspect/review/etc the product. Consider it BFL.

Or they're using a higher version of a chip in the SC than the Jally.

As of today 9/25 - 50/25 drop is predicted to  happen as of 11/30/12

What happens? Combined with the potential shipping of ASIC hardware? (Toss in the remotest chance of pirate dumping coin back to people..)

Short Version:

Panic, chaos, volatility, and outright mayhem. Dump dump dump screaming ahhhh fire death ahhhh!

I'm considering closing my eyes till March.


Long Version:

BTC price, difficulty, and THash rate are going to be a crazy rollercoaster ride till about January... or March?

ASIC miners will generate stupid amounts of coin in a short period of time till the first DIFF adjustment, which they will likely dump on the market in an attempt to recoup their initial investment before the reward drop, driving the BTC price down.

Crazy block rates will bring the 50/25 drop much sooner, potentially 1 week after ASIC's hit market instead of Nov/December.

Reward drop + Diff 5M  = end of 99% of GPU miners who pay for their power.

While Removal of 75% of the Network Thash rate is significant today, pre ASIC, it's meaningless when ASIC's have 2x'd or 3x'd the THash ate.

While a small potential factor, if Pirate does return any coin, that will also likely be dumped into the market, driving the price down.

You can either go 'long' with a cash position, or 'long' with a BTC position, but between now and March is going to be a crazy ride.















 

the "spike" is actually a fairly consistent (10% +/-) increase over the last X weeks.. Next increase is looking like another 10%.

Press / PR / and fulfilled FPGA orders are my best guess for the ramp.

Because I don't see a link anywhere, cgminer 2.7.5 compiled under raspbian, tar'd up entire source directory (14 meg):

http://www.filedropper.com/cgminer275raspbian

(if someone can tell me the minimum required files, I can pick them out of the source tree and make a new download available)

compiled with the following options:


I don't have any USB FPGA miners attached to my PI at the moment, but it's mining been CPU mining at 118K/hash for the last hour.

Feedback/PM welcomed.

I know of at least another 10.

If anyone has a bash/php/script that uses the API correctly to store files >150M I'd appreciate a link.

Most scripts appear to use "/file_put" which has a 150M limit, rather than "/chunked_upload" and "/commit_chunked_upload"  which doesn't.
