YES. Sorry but in all seriousness, don't skimp on PSUs, particularly when you want to put them under heavy load like bitcoin mining  |

I've been thinking about where mining's headed with the (potential) release of BFL ASICs and such.
There's one factor that I don't think has really been discussed: Namely, when will BFL ask for their FPGAs back for trade-ins?
They could potentially be taking back a substantial number of singles and mini-rigs, so if this precedes the full ASIC release, is it not possible that this could knock several percent off the difficulty whilst we wait for their ASICs to hit the market?

I am touched. Thank you!
bit-who? Where?
Bithopper, hopping proxy  I assumed that's what we're doing here? |

You know something's up with the share stats when I'm showing -23 rejected shares do I get some kind of bonus for being the first miner ever to achieve a <0% reject rate? Those are some quality shares  Hope you saw the notes down around eu3...had to estimate... Hope hope all the payment add up to cover your troubles... I left the old stats as a base line for tomorrow... Also, today was for only for 15 hours since i pulled them late last night... Aaaah no didn't notice that - cheers  lol
-23 rejected shares.................. LOL
We are obviously in a parallel universe...so that is actually good, i think... Or he is building a anti-reject mining rig... Next generation mining hardware... :-P Up next, my anti-reject ASIC. Shipping next wednesday*, very limited supply**, 1 Petahash/s***, powered off a USB port and doubles as a vibrator for the missus. Only 5000BTC, non refundable, join the queue today! *Or not. **Because it doesn't exist yet ***In my mind. Do you do financing? Lay-away? Fraid not, I just send you tiny but vaugely entertaining (for me) small BTC payments to say thankyou in a small way for your work on projectx By the by, what's the server load like on this sort of project? (not that I'm entirely sure what you're doing with our shares anyway) I used to run a bithopper on my VPS, but I never loaded that above ~8Ghash of mining contracts and it never seemed to struggle even on my fairly small CPU/RAM allocation... |

you are not alone. I blew a circuit and was down for 20 mins... I'll keep the same rate for today and see if they get flushed out...by me just mining every were with your address...6770, so you won't get rich. As always, just give me notice via however and I will fix it! Thanks mate! Sweeeet Mine's all up and running now, sitting nice and steady at 1.8Gh/s and has been for ~25000 shares (fingers crossed...) Also thinking about getting a single-slot 5770 a friend's selling just to put it in my last motherboard slot and nudge me over 2Gh/s average |

Something weird from yesterday's sheet - I spent a big chunk of time yesterday mining us3, but I'm down as having zero submitted shares there?
I may have been offline when you collected the stats, as I had a couple of BSODs yesterday after some hardware changes, but I'm pretty sure I'm missing some shares...

which gpus?
7970s No errors, just monstrously high shares and "GPU error" percentages... Reaper is pretty shaky software.
Lower your aggression, that should help.
Also set your GPU ram to the fastest non-overclocked speed and your GPU engine to the slowest non-underclocked speed.
Tried it with aggression at 12, roughly halved my hashrate but I'm still getting >70% stales on any pool I join... |

So, decided to try pointing one of my rigs at LTC mining:  Obviously, something is not going entirely to plan. These are my settings in reaper: host 127.0.0.1
port 9332
user username
pass password
protocol litecoin
worksize 256
aggression 18
threads_per_gpu 1
sharethreads 18
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 6144
This is my litecoin.conf from the roaming folder: rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.x.x
rpcport=9332
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0
block_nTime=1317972665
block_nNonce=2084524493 Whoever can fix this for me will get some LTC from me when I start mining successfully |

LoL tit I am running a Litcoin Pool if ya want to send some CPU hashes it'sa way
( and yes we have found over 40 blocks on it already )
Roughly how difficult is it to mine Litecoin (I have no idea but thought I'd give it a bash with my CPU anyway  ) Been mining on half my CPU cores for about an hour and just solo-mined my first block |

Your VRM's will burn out.
Eventually you will see your hash rate fluctuated by 50 or so m/hashes
Once that happens your card will burn out in a couple of weeks or days.
I leave all my VRM temps below 100 now. 5970 is now hashing at 950 mhash/s and clocked at 1000 MHz. Will VRM temps in the 90s burn my VRMs? Thanks You should be alright I think... What's the power draw on that thing? |

I am moving everything back to 3 sepererate servers. eu3 is going back as another option... sorry to my mates accross the pond If it's anything, I'm UK based, just switched from the EU servers to us3 as my primary and my rejected shares have gone from 3-4% to 0.2% So I think I'll be using the US ones anyway |

The one concern I have is that it makes it effectively impossible to fork the network for any protocol change that would alter mining, because >95% of hashing power will be these ASICs, and so it would be impossible to get a majority of the hashing power to switch. This may be totally unfounded on my part, as I don't know how likely such a requirement is, but regardless I'll be getting out of BTC once these start shipping until the dust settles and price+difficulty stabilise |

Intersango's great, have always used them for BTC->GBP.
If you must have it in paypal, you can get rates ~5% worse than the intersango spot price at spendbitcoins.com

I think the more interesting questions will be:
1-Will BFL deliver on their estimates?
2-Will they test their hardware mining? If so for how long? How many BTC will BFL mine for themselves before shipping their units?

I just had to jump in before this gets deleted: I assume Butterflylabs must be testing their new ASICS somewhere, no? :-)
I'm sure they will be. have they manufactured any yet? I think testing will come later in the year they will be testing their fpga mini rigs tho I imagine Didn't they claim they were testing them without actually mining any coins? Not that I believe that for a second |

Very impressive clocks and core cooling - Are you using thermal tape for the VRMs or what? Might want to take a look at that... Also how much power is this thing getting through? I know for example I can mine on my 7970s up past 1200Mhz, but if I do so my humble rig will draw >1200W at the wall and it's no longer worth it Peak profitability for me is ~970Mhz @ 0.96V. Wouldn't be at all surprised if you can increase your actual profitability by downclocking and reducing voltages anyway... |

Payouts screen shows me as paid BTC1.13052027 yesterday, but no payment's come through? Also, request for the payouts page - any chance you could get all-time submitted shares across all servers? I think I've sent ~300k your way but I'd be interested in checking for the sake of it |

I'm gonna miss these jerry-rig pics once January 2013 arrives.
Tell me about it, there's some really... innovative solutions on here Personally though I always liked the "total overkill gaming PC" model:  Does 1700Mhash @ ~580W. Sadly will be pretty redundant as of next year  |
