Personally, I think someone is playing with on/off switch since a few months (hardware update or not) ... we saw that pattern so often.  They have been pushing the hashrate for the most time during the current Diff and now they are giving it a break at the end of the diff, sometime it's the reverse ... nothing at first then a big push at the end.

Well, i'm speculating here

Who would be crazy enough to shut down gear?  I think most companies greed would run them 24x7.    Turning them off is like taking a loss, I don't see the big players doing this.

My logical thinking would say the exact same thing as you mention but it seems someone is still doing it.

Hi Lee !

I like honest people and I like to be honest with them.

July 9 is showing a lot of hours as offline but pool side it's fine (except I got one unit in trouble if you can check it, one blade down I opened a client feedback but it's apparently not use anymore by your staff).

Thanks

Herb

1249  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Block split - 25 - 12.5 on: July 09, 2015, 05:00:40 AM
I`m worried less on the halfing but more on the whole part with what im about to say.

"Bitcoin Core has no code in it to handle a permanent and growing transaction backlog. "

what happens when transactions are super slow as fuk, hence a ultimate incident way back when.

transaction fees will rise and block size will expand .  no other solution works.

transaction fees are the only way to kill off spam transactions.  

The fees are indeed super cheap at the moment. Throw 1$ in fees for your transaction and it will confirm quickly.

I'm not so familiar with all the technicality of expending the block size and not so sure about why it is so controversial.

Pushing the upper limit of the block to 8mb doesn't mean each block will use it all.

As for the price rise, BTC's first price was based of the cost of mining one BTC with CPU back in the time. Since bitcoin now can easily be acquired by other means then mining it, this is hard to tell for sure how much influence it will have on the price.(The halving) As someone said before. Offer and demands normally rules the price but in this case, since all the miners introduce fresh money, I think it will push it up.

Let's see how the LTC react until his halving. For now, the price is just insanely going up. Pretty sure a massive sellout will come around the corner. I'm no specialist at all in economics, so this is only my 2 cents but the price has to go down and correct himself for sure ... But who knows ! The price will go up until the demand is high and it looks like the halving has something to do with the current insane uptrend.

Then the I" wish i knew and bough 50000$ LTC at 1.25$" (or whatever low price it was like 5-6 weeks ago)

Hopefully bitwisdom goes down.  It's higher then I like to see, although it could be worse.

Bitcoin Difficulty:    49,402,014,931
Estimated Next Difficulty:    51,745,588,728 (+4.74%)
Adjust time:    After 451 Blocks, About 2.9 days
Hashrate(?):    379,309,543 GH/s

Hopefully it does go down, just a little...

Yeah I like to pick 4,20% but i was sure that was too much for this Diff !

I was wrong... always stick to the plan ! Cheesy
1251  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: New R-Box Upgrade Kit on: July 08, 2015, 06:25:19 PM
This would be board only; you'd need an R-Box to upgrade.

The decision isn't whether to make this or the S1, but whether to make this in the dead time we're waiting to make the S1. We'd need to do a similar build anyway as an initial test, so the question is whether I should work on an S1-precursor with BM1384 that I design to completion but never sell, or if I should make an R-Box with BM1384 that I design to completion and then sell, and which gets me 90% of what I'd have needed for the S1-precursor anyway. The way I figure, if I'm going to design the thing anyway, what's wrong with trying to make it sellable?

By which I mean, I design and prototype this inside a month. It's then sellable. I take two more months to shift the design to a new-gen chip for TypeZero and it's then sellable. Or I design and prototype this inside a month, do not sell it, then spend two more months with pretty good hardware on my shelf not helping anyone while I redesign for a new-gen chip for TypeZero and then sell it. The TypeZero timeline won't really be affected much at all.

Make a lot of sens.

The only question is when will Bitmain release a new hardware and if it is with a new chip. ( should be this month .... but still who knows)

For me, the R-Box board doesn't interest me much since I have none R-Box. (This is only me)

If both the bitcoin community and yourself (with the design) will benefit more with that path. I don't see why we would try to convince you to not do it
1252  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: New R-Box Upgrade Kit on: July 08, 2015, 06:01:25 PM
I would prioritize S1 and S3 board first.

At least for me.

1254  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Been reading about a lot of dying sp20's on: July 07, 2015, 04:24:45 PM
I have two SP20E, one broke by my negligence of abusing of the cool air outside during the winter (staying to close to the cold air). I had one running his fan at 40% and the other at 30%. The first one always been less cold then the other one. that said, the one at 40% broke and the other still runs rock solid at 1500 in the summer (I have cheap electricity). I assume the 40% got all the shit and protected the other one of any other thing that would sneak inside the room (which i though would be not possible since the unit were hot but I was wrong and I learned from this mistake). So I would consider my failure as a user miss utilization.

I was able to run them close to 1650 without any issue until I broke one of the two by an accumulation of Hot and humidity inside. (Corroded the first circuit (first two asic))

Why i'm pushing them that hard ?
1. cheap electricity
2. I prefer having more BTC then focusing only on maximizing profit since they have a short lifetime, I used them as much as I can.

That's my 2 cent Tongue
1255  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Unofficial Spondoolies SP20 thread on: July 07, 2015, 01:43:11 PM
Has anyone had this issue:

I changed voltages like always (running my miners from 1000-1300Ghs). The miner hung up. When I tried to reboot, it didnt start anymore. One of the 4 PCIe sockets seems damages. As soon as I pull out the cable of this one, the miner will boot and mine with 3 of 4 asics, 75% power. As soon as I provide the 4th socket with a cable again, the miner wont boot.

I cant figure out, where the problem is and what I can do.. It cant be that a part of the miner "burns" when switching voltages lower?? As stated, I never pushed them higher than 1300 or lower than 1000.

Had the same issue but no dmg on the connector. Dmg was on the board. Looks like you have a faulty half board (2 ASIC). Check the  number of the connector, Like 4 would the last two ASIC in the UI (0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7) so that would be ASIC 6 and 7.

Start your machine with only the 3 PCI-E conencted... try to manual turn off ASIC 7 and retry with 4 connectors, if it's not working try with only 6. Otherwise, your only chance to fix would be an RMA ...

You can also play with the Voltage (lowering it) to see if they will revive.

I had a faulty ASIC (i think it's 3) and 4 died not long after.
