Thanks, I was not familiar with the specific algorithm for share life.

@organofcorti  Ummm, I was asking for people's thoughts regarding why p2pool's hashrate is decreasing as the the network difficulty is increasing which is not the same as p2pool keeping up with the rest of the network. It is quite the opposite actually.

@Songminer  3 day work drop-out?

It seems to me that as the difficulty increases the overall p2pool hashrate decreases. Why is that?

I am just hoping that BitFury gets their chip out with enough time for it to make sense.

I do not believe that FreeTrade has made a final decision with regard to working on MMC again.

I am not quite following you on this. I should address your much earlier statement first.

Your quote from Bter sounds like they are having trouble staying in sync with our blockchain. That is not surprising considering the block explorer is having the same issue. It is also understandable that Bter would disable deposits for that reason.

I am very familiar with how MMC works. I was not trying to offend you. I just believe that your concerns should have been fully discussed with the stakeholders prior to such an announcement.

What does the reputation of your company have to do with MMC?

I do not wish to be combative with you coaex nor do I wish to be at odds with you. I think that we both have the same goal and that goal is to do what is best for MMC.

I hear you. I have had similar thoughts. It just takes too much effort IMHO.

sidehack's advice generally requires a lot less effort.

What exactly are you going to integrate on Azure?

It does appear that coinplorer keeps losing sync. It has been exhibiting this behavior for weeks. I believe that has more to do with the limited number of nodes on the blockchain than through any fault of coinplorer. I would hazard to guess that most block explorers will have a similarly difficult time in maintaining sync.

What decision are you specifically referring to?

I have seen you talk about this before. The request for de-listing from Bter was a really poor decision. Whoever did that must not care about MMC.

Has anybody heard anything from Delinquency on any forum, reddit, or twitter? I hope the guy is okay.

Wow, I am really bummed by this development. Let us know if another group buy does eventually happen.

I am still using 4x AntMiner S1 that are now under-volted. They each pull about 1.35A at the wall with a Gold rated PSU. I get roughly 130GH/s at this power usage, so not quite 1 W/GH, but close to it.

In any event, I would definitely keep your S1 units around even if you decide to turn them off. There is a community project going found at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1368507.0 led by some experienced folks, namely sidehack and a few others. They are working on replacement boards for the S1 chassis based on the upcoming 16nm BitFury chips.

ZeusMiner was supposed to produce their Gen3 chips under the Volcano, but from what I remember, they scrapped the whole project due to ROI concerns. If I am not mistaken, ZeusMiner offered their customers the option for a refund or a discounted conversion to their ZeusHash cloud mining. Unfortunately, only KnC and AlcheMiner ever released a Gen3 chip and nobody, as far as I know, has put forth a viable candidate for a Gen4 chip.

Not yet, but hopefully soon.

The point of this debate should be about netting the pool a higher average hashing rate. Increasing the shift size will decrease the chance for unpaid shifts, but it will also decrease a renters potential maximum payout as it is tied directly to the shift size.

I do concur with scyth3. However, based on my previous assessment, I would also opine that having a greater risk versus reward ratio will attract more renters looking for a higher potential payout and will therefore increase the pool's average hashing rate.

I have been successful in using Minera, found at http://getminera.com/, as a stratum proxy for fast pool switching on my Raspberry Pi. That should satisfy your listed requirements. You will need to configure Minera to run bfgminer and add the command --stratum-port=3333 to enable the stratum proxy. These configuration options are all found under the Local Miner Settings page. You will see your devices populate bfgminer as PXY.

I have two very similar AntMiner S3 setups. The first setup uses a Corsair RM1000 to run 2x AntMiner S3 and the second setup uses a Corsair RM1000x to run another 2x Antminer S3. I have had no problems with over-heating cables on either Corsair PSU. When mining, the key is to always use a quality PSU. I would also highly recommend using a PSU that has a single 12V rail.

@FreeTrade  You can get an updated list of nodes from http://coinofview.com/mmc under the NETWORK section.

@coaex  Coinplorer still has an active memorycoin block explorer. It can be found at https://coinplorer.com/MMC.

This is an old thread. Head over to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=598187 to see the most current conversation.

@FreeTrade  There is interest. There are still a few of us actively mining to keep the blockchain alive.

@khryptor  You can get an updated list of nodes from http://coinofview.com/mmc under the NETWORK section.

@sidehack  Somehow, I suspected that you might pipe in with a solution from an engineering standpoint. I had a similar thought to yours, but I am reasonably sure that nobody has done any coding with regards to a driver from this perspective.

@conceptxp  Your statement is confusing because the circumstances surrounding your intent are unclear. Are you trying to obfuscate your network traffic? Is ethernet not an option because it is simply not available? Are you trying to avoid having an unknown MAC address trip port security on another entity's ethernet switch?

No, you cannot use USB and there is no WiFi on the control board either.
