I Know i used to load in 5 or 6 pools using SSH with the balance command on my S3 and S5 had the same issue some pools just didn't work, even tried one time to add more to UI in the S3 by using the S1 guide didn't happen .
Then this program came a long i use it from time to time but it doesn't do enough for me etc or much is being done with it because of why or what you said , I'm being nice or tiring to.and one of the many reason id rather use BFG .

I like the plug and play thing with the Antminers but maybe having also having a uart port on the blades would not be much of a difference for Bitmain to implement. However that would kind of, reduce our dependence level on them and they might not like that since they are pretty greedy/pragmatic in their business plan.
Sad but true !!!! . lmao they will find out later down the road that disregurading the home user is bad most big company do sooner or later . unless there intention from the start was like KNC, i still feel they planed things how they went from the start,they just needed capitol to get going then it was ksdn;lk the rest and KNc even wanted to control the bitcoin network and tried to at one point . all most lost it all tiring, so , it seems no one company can or will be able to, ever. I hate greed and what it does to everyone that much, if we shared more we would get more and get along better. I'm getting off topic don't get me going on that subject. I'm stopping. sorry !!!. but yea Bitmain can if Avalon does and sell kits if we want them and make more + save, and the kits are plug and play or give us the kits with the miner sense they come with the miner now installed or let us use our own images and not there standard openwrt UI's or let us update openwrt to hold thu a reboot like we can with S3 and S1 . They prove they can now by selling there own Custom PSU , I'll bet them doing that in S2 sourcing out for PSU's was a costly mistake and nitemare by the way they expressed " it won't happen again " and they are just being hard headed about the controller thing at this point, like you said and won't admit it .( tiring to avoid the word greed ). I guess , I like having the freedom to pick etc. I'm sure Bitmain run some numbers to see a so called cost but numbers are just that numbers and most of the time are wrong or only fit one group of users.

Hello, I don't want use the on-board card with CGminer Autonomous Ethernet Connection. Can i use the mining card on the regular S1 to S7 Antminer product but plugged in USB ? (supply like usual from the 12v PCI-Ex plug). My final goal is to build a heated carpet for my feet (100GH/s is enough for me, because i want to use my regular 10A 12v Brick supply) ... and replace my unstable U3 fixed at the bottom of my screen. Thanks I wish they would drop the BB and make is so we can use our own controllers or keep the BB and give us that support that want it or way to do it, that's not hard and is as simple as what you want:). , i have at least ten pi types , and don't use may be 6 of those and won't sell them either and buy more, as i go . i love those little PC's they are so amazing and awesome to learn on . they would save as well and give us something to use our PI's on, we don't use now,

such a nice cooling design wish they still use it atm they did that to save on shipping cost mostly and other reason. !!! but yea i still feel the S3 way was the best way yet even my C1 stays very cool not because it's water cooled it just does and very very quite. but they kind of got out of the home mining market not that there isn't money to made there , there is, but they did , starting with the S5 + .I guess just not enough money for them,the home miner/user, is what got them were they are now. please don''t go there and say it was so they don't deal with newbie or end users my thought on that one: then why do they give out RMA for hash boards that don't work and fix them for s3's and up with a set price range on there site now as part of support, and are adding more support over time it seems geared to the newbie or end user what ever name you want to call that group of users.

the antminer s5 lacks support for cycling through different pools (correct me if I am wrong) The antminers use a variant of cgminer which I created. The pool strategies include a strategy of switching called "rotate" which I put in the code in Jul 20 2011. You are recreating the wheel and adding an extra tool to do what cgminer already does. Antminers tend to fail when you configure too many pools in the .conf, and you get dead time mining on those pools that don't pass the initial connection test (eg. getting a packet lost to cloudflare ddos protection) -- which, in order to even consider doing, you have to do manually by SSHing into the machine (an S7 in my case). My S7 has room for 3 pools in the Bitmain interface, and no way to choose the rotate option, except for manually SSHing into the machine and adding it to the .conf file myself. If I use too many pools (eg. 5 or 6 or more, manually configuring), the S7 tends to invariably not connect to one or more of them, and gives that dead mining beeping for the entire duration of the rotate. So I disagree strongly. I find this switcher quite useful for the fact that I do NOT have to keep SSHing into the machine whenever I want to briefly mine some other coin. Would it be better if Bitmain allowed us to enter more than 3 pools and had a rotate option in their config panel? Of course. But in the meanwhile.... I do, however, question why the author went with hours instead of minutes in the duration field. Minutes would be far more useful and far less restrictive. And tying it in to some difficulty/exchangeprice listing to give preference to whatever coin makes the most sense out of a list would be even more useful. If it allowed for minutes instead of hours, I may have considered sending in a donation. But forcing hours seems a bit unnecessarily restrictive. In any case, my $0.02 for what it's worth... This might help some , here is a how to http://bitcoinsinireland.com/antminer-s1-mining-more-than-3-pools/ on a S1 , maybe you can figure out a way on the antminers that lose there setting on reboot. or any custom SSH setting it can be rather annoying to have it set up how you want it, then have it wiped on a reboot or shut down .

FYI S1/S3 support has been merged into mainline OpenWRT so firmware images can be compiled from there. Note this should not be attempted unless you are sure you know how to do a TTL recovery due to the high risk of bricks from untested firmware.
' wow nice just noticed you posted we can compile on openwrt now, i haven't done much with openwrt in a month, kind of gave up on it . I know how to un brick a router on openwrt but would only use one of the cheaper ones for testing . i read some place un bricking with TTL might not work, you may even end up taking off the chip and have to reprogram it that way or buy a new one. if you brick it beyond using TTL ( why i use the cheap routers ) . I have bricked mine a few times trying new stuff but was able to recover it. . btw i know this is off topic but just got my own fully working bitcoin core working on a cubieboard 2 with a 128 gb ssd using nand to ssd it took me a few weeks to figure out and a lot of trial and error but was fun. And have a firefly pi type coming to me in a few days that's much better at a really good price about the same price the CB2 cost me for a kit, the Firefly is a kit or it has all i need to get it going.

Hi
I have about 150 TH and i am looking to try to setup a (Linux maybe) solution to create my own pool and then try to have some stats for the miners and set payments per btc address and the rest must have stuff....
Is there any instructions on how to do it?
Thank you
http://blockgen.net/blog/setup-your-own-mining-pool/but like CK said be very care it can become a real pain you don't want .!!!! if you plan to mine and make cash doing it, if you have 150 th to throw at it, why not solo mine on it ? .

I'm developing a pool software and would like to test it against a fairly modern GPU miner on testnet. Everything that I found is super outdated and braking most of the time.
I currently don't have an ASIC, this makes real testing impossible. So I figured out that maybe using a GPU on testnet would work (difficutly arround 4TH/s).
Is there maybe a software only mode for cgminer? Just to check if ti picks up jobs correctly from my pool?
This site right now, is about the only site that offers the soft ware you are looking for, most other sites, that cpu and Gpu mine that offer it, seem to, link to the software part of nice/west hash . https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=software#cpu GL cya.

if you going to mine Alt coins don't mine the btc type, i would do script coins you can still make a nice profit if you have the speed ,I wouldn't even bro with SHA256 alt coins any more unless there merge mind while you mine BTC . I don't mean nice hash, west hash, mining either . Who said you can't mine btc anymore you can as long as Bitmain, Alvan etc sell to the public, you can keep doing it. it may cost per miner, it's still there. I don't see how a company/s will ever be able to shut it down to The public,and sense there is no way to, other then stop selling miners to the public , it won't stop, unless bitcoins become worthless or laws make it illegal. Bitmain, has no plans to stop selling either in fact they now offer to fix old S3 S5 and up hash boards, at a cost, they all ways would but now they give out RMA's and have a set price range and tell you how to do get a RMA on there site. CPU mining was how it all started and not worth it any more , you can still do it, if you want a very high Electricity bill, then go for it .you won't make jack etc and end up paying the power company or worse have your power shut off because you can't pay the bill and there is no such thing as free Electricity , I won't even get in to why it is not free, we all pay it, in one way or the other even those who call it free pay. Video card or GPU mining is a debate thing, some say they make more then if they mine BTC . i don't know and I'm not going to find out either because it would cost to much per amd or nvidia card to reach that speed , so that a lone makes BTC or script mining with your own hard ware, the best ways to go . last thing, cloud mining , MY only thoughts are, i don't trust it, i really have, no control over it, Unless you rent hard ware hash , or have the hardware hosted , I wouldn't do it unless you have tons of cash to waste, to me that's not even a investment. From what Ive seen with that type of cloud mining you can't pick were you want to mine, you really don't know if the operator/s, are being totally honest with pay outs, most cloud company's want you to spend at least 300 $ upfront.I know about https://www.genesis-mining.com/login?ref=spondoolies and other cloud company's, even thought about wasting a 100 bucks @ Genesis to give it try, i know you can start at 23 bucks and build it . Cloud mining is the worst of them all , there is all ways the risk of being ripped off , by that mean, if you have full or all most full control over the hardware, it is still and will all ways be the best way to go, if you mine. IF you don't mine, then buy btc and invest. Cya

Nice guide for BFG and Ubuntu, there was a few steps i missed doing it while i was using _Ubuntu_trusty on my Cubieboard2.
the Direct X boost you posted actually works and makes wow look even better.!!! I have a nice System, i run at max setting in wow, the boost let me lower them to high and look as good .
Thanks

Update 2: So it's been over 2 hours and the funds are still not available. With it being Christmas and then the weekend, I've got a horrible feeling this won't be "official" for a long time. As a newbie, I cannot purchase $300 worth of BTC from anywhere - everyone has limits, which is worrying. What a horrible Catch-22: I can't buy Bitcoin, nor can I buy a miner because it's purchased with the Bitcoins that I cannot get, lol! You sure you won't just accept USD via paypal?
No sorry, paypal too open to fraud. Its cool man, theres no one else inline for these right now. I can't ship til Monday/Tuesday anyway. I'll hold them for you. Yeah, I can understand. The situation that I'm in right now only helps to reinforce why we need Bitcoin. From what I've read, BTC is super easy to send and receive; however, buying the BTC is really the limitation of sending/receiving fiat money like the USD. As I'm typing this right now, I just got an email from Circle cancelling my transaction. I logged in to my bank and the USD was re-deposited. So weird. Ok... I've got to find a way to get BTC you live in the US ? . if so i would get in touch with circle, i had my account cancelled once due to i didn't live in the US after i made a buy and it was cancelled, then two days later my account was. . till i proved different then they let me have it back , just a tip, now i can use my CC any time i want to and get instant BTC's, i also have a Gemini account, i haven't fully activated yet, and a coin base account, i use more . PS : Circle only allows you have to one account per legal name they will shut down all your accounts, till pick one and let them know. it won't mater how Many btc you have in it they won't steal them you just don't have access, till you send them a ticket.

I have never bought any hardware but have just recently taken out an x11 contract with genesis mining and the btc payout probably will not give me a roi so I am mning the altcoins they have a available which will give me some profit, I would be hesitant at this time buying any hardware.
I buy hard ware because I like to, have it, feel it, see it:) . it's not about ROI for me, if it was i would take out a BTC lone and buy 30 miners @ btc jam ( which btw i do invest a few 100 $ or so in BTC @). and set my home up to run 30 miners, then it would ."). If you never bought hard ware miners, then i guess you don't know and won't know the fun and enjoyment of owning it . but it's Cool, i do understand were your coming from .!!! MARRY XMASS and May your New Year, be a very good one !!.

So, I was looking into ASIC miners and wanted to know if it would be possible to build one from basic parts (processors, etc.)? What processors would I be able to get ahold of that would work? What programming. Would be needed? I just want to build a machine that will run the SHA256 and be less expensive and more effective than brand name miners. Is this possible?
You can get every part except ASIC Chips Sidehack made a good usb stick but he needed the chips Side was the first thing that came to mind, hes our best hope, atm he can't get the chips, here's, to next year, maybe next year .

BTW the op's pick is 200 not 120 as it is 80 to ship.
Even more reason to look for something better . . that's cheaper and safer
