161  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration on: April 07, 2013, 02:34:02 AM
Has anyone else tried running eloipool against the test network?  I set it up with this configuration, but when I tried the test network it gave me errors in cgminer.

Works fine. Make sure you haven't commented out the test net stuff in config.py

Also there's a stratum bug on LP for new blocks the 2 arguments given blah whatever, it's ok to ignore.

Do Avalon ASICs work with p2pool out of the box?  If not, does anyone know what settings need to be used?
Thanks!

simple answer, yes. long answer no, you need a special build of p2pool and the firmware we have made to fix delays and absurd long poll wait times because of the avalon driver built in delays.

To those just joining the conversation, no p2pool or cgminer developer had access to an avalon until a user, Aseras, graciously donated his machine time to a cgminer developer this week. All avalon owners owe him a thank you for working out the new firmware and contributions to the cgminer code (that has not been released yet) along with ckolivas.

test firmware is available. PM me if anyone wants it. it has a newer cgminer 2.10.5a build that has some tweaks and bugfixes and seems to be much more stable. it has better longpoll and less delay, making p2pool slightly better but still > 20% DOA. efficiency is up to 95% or so, but so many rejects and DOA on p2pool.

based off of latest gits by xiangfu and ckolivas. It is basically following these directions https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon ( which don't work yet BTW debugging with xiangfu to make them idiot proof )

development should continue slowly. trying to work out things.

I'm really working on p2pool, quickly coming up to speed in python right now mostly it's just hacks and workarounds to make it work. I may make a public fork, but considering my recent experiment and crashing the terracoin network for a day, I'll hold off Cheesy

ckolivas is trying to get code better as much as possible and xiangfu is doing them same plus bugfixes and better avalon drivers internally.
163  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Who else from Avalon batch 1 hasn't received a unit or shipping information? on: April 06, 2013, 04:28:55 PM
we got a new bunch of problem addresses on the first of April, so you'll probably be contacted soon if you are on the list.
and what if you did not get your shipment and your not on the list what than

Post your info here and we will try and get it taken care of.


OP updated.
164  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Terracoin is not dead. AKA: I always said fast diff adjust was good. on: April 06, 2013, 02:47:13 AM
I'd like to point out I didn't mean to crash the network. I created a p2pool fork, and there was already a terra coin build available. I was testing different long poll values.

I could mine more, but it would make the problem last longer. I didn't expect diff to jump to near btc in a few hours.

I threw 2 avalons on it for a while. sorry. that quick diff adjust can bite you in the ass huh?

there mined you one more block

How many coins do you make per hour when the difficulty is decent?   Tongue

I may or may not have mined 10's of thousands...

Can't we just send them more hamsters?

Only so many hamster you can stick in one hamster wheel.

What is this hamster reference I see all the time?

It has been theorized that MtGox's servers are powered by hamsters running in a hamster wheel.  This explains the lag and poor performance if their service.

When gox lags, it because a hamster tripped. when it crashes, a fat one tripped and took out all the others.

the US tax law is absurd, really. it would be so much easier to make everyone pay a flat sales tax. dump all the loopholes for corps and fat cats. 12-15% on everything, no exceptions except for perhaps good and medicine.
170  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: is it safe to set core frequency to 300Mhz (Extreme) for avalon? on: April 05, 2013, 04:37:00 PM
I have a new firmware we ( ckolivas,xiangfu ) just built.

newest cgminer 2.10.5a, much more stable. no more restarts.

PM for a download link if you wish to try.

the trick is to leave the sides with 4 circles still screwed in but loose and slide it to fit closed then use needle nose pliers on the sides with 3 to keep them from falling back in case before you tighten them one by one.

One single moderately wealthy person could take the price to 1000 or drop it to almost nothing. If they moved all in or out of the market.

Make sure you write off the value of the thousands of bitcoins you lost to pirate. I'm sure you can find a log of the transaction somewhere....
Actually, you can't write off losses on personal loans.  Look it up before tax time!

It was theft. Deductible.  You can deduct losses in Ponzi schemes.

Ask BFL. They have a farkton of money and can't do it...

176  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon doesn't work with getwork protocol on: April 04, 2013, 11:47:15 PM
You need a new firmware. Did you try "next"? We just just made a new one a couple hours ago with a new cgminer build that fixes many things and tweaks the watchdog.

Moving along nicely now I think. More soon. Testing on my two avalons tonight, but looks good.
177  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Batch 1, (two units) received this morning on: April 04, 2013, 11:44:54 PM
Welcome to the club. I felt gypped too and I got my units over a week ago.

I hope batch 2 comes soon and goes much more smoothly. Especially since they should have enough money from the BTC to hire a private courier for each unit now Cheesy
178  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon doesn't work with getwork protocol on: April 04, 2013, 09:06:30 PM
it works with getwork, it just needs an INSANE computer to keep it fed. Stock bitcoinD cannot handle it. P2pool can barely do it on a 3930K. will memory leak and crash within a couple hours.
179  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [400GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: April 04, 2013, 09:04:50 PM
been busy helping ckolivas tweak cgminer code and building usable firmware directions for avalon.  ckolivas has greatly improved LP time on avalon ( supposedly ) he also made an avalon run at 1.3PH last night. :/

Anyways more work on p2pool soon.
less FUD pls

sarcasm detector broken, do I need to use more emoticons perhaps?

I can test it later.
