Not sure if you guys caught this, but it dropped to $160 overnight, so I bought one.
Gutted I missed that  Cheesy That's what? 3.5Mh/$ brand new with good resale value and a warranty?

Go buy a used one then, troll fucker.



Is this an amazon replacement gained by fraudulent means?  Roll Eyes
Does it matter if it's not coming direct from amazon?
I mean, from an ethical standpoint, yes, but if someone's shipping from their home address there's no reason to believe it's scammed...

All of the servers are NOW running on Linux, and with much less rejects, too.  The only instability has been my putty sessions disconnecting... fixed it.  Anyone know how to detach a session with putty, please let me know...

Your using BitHopper amirght?

Use a screen
Code:
screen -D -R -S hop python bitHopper.py

Then type
Code:
screen -x hop
to open the screen later.

And if your running multiple instances on the same machine, just change hop to hop2 or hop3 or whatever the hell you want to call it.
I kind of assumed that at least some of the shares we submit were going to GPUMAX  Wink

Why so much server load at <50Ghash?

Anyway, I'm sure you've noticed, but I'm pretty sure we found more than 0 shares today - the site stats may need updating  Wink

You've probably missed the boat  Wink

I mine as a way to make some of the money back on awesome gaming hardware.

For example, my current machine I could never justify to myself if it weren't giving me ~$250 per month, it might not get a chance to pay for itself before ASICs hit the market (which won't be October - BFL has never done anything on time and they aren't about to start now...) but it'll pay off some of the hardware cost, and then if mining becomes unprofitable on it I can sell off the hardware since it's still amazing gaming gear.

If you're going to start GPU mining, go 5970 or 7970, since either can be undervolted for amazing Mh/W performance. By playing with the voltages on my 7970s I can go from 480Mhash at 6Mh/W to 540Mhash at 5Mh/W, all the way to 710Mhash at ~2.25Mh/W  Tongue
1048  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: So, are these real? on: June 29, 2012, 09:48:39 AM
In the first few days of the ASIC being out they can be quite profitable, but the difficulty will quickly increase to diminish the profits.

In a way, that's a shame. It seems that these new ASIC machines will quickly make it nearly impossible for the little guy to mine enough BTC to make it worth the effort.  Something like this could turn BitCoin into something that benefits those who already have the BTCBTCBTC or $$$, and the little guy gets the tiniest, tiniest scraps that are leftover... and that sounds too much like a monetary system we are already too familiar with.

Anyway, hopefully I can build a small Jalapeno army rather quickly within a few months, and then start buying the $1299 ones that do 40 Gh/s... and slowly work my way up to the 1000 Gh/s monster.

One good thing, though... I doubt many people will invest in the more expensive ASICs right away... They'll likely want to see the results (and consistency) delivered by the Jalapeno before plunking down a huge investment for the (supposedly) more powerful units.


Bit-pay processed 46000BTC worth of orders in the first two days after the announcement, so it's safe to say the demand's there  Wink

Whether BFL can actually make anything remotely close to their projections remains to be seen.

I don't see this as a "get rich quick scheme." I see it as an income opportunity. I simply want to be able to keep up with the pack to generate a decent income. My Radeon 5850 would net me about BTC1.50 a month if I let it go 24/7, but I use my computer... BTC1.50 a month isn't exactly getting rich, NOR is it a reasonable income. The Jalapeno does about 11.67 times what my 5850 can do... That would net me BTC17.07 per month (at the current difficulty), which is much better. Not enough to consider an income, but definitely enough to help with some of the bills. So if I can get at least a few Jalapenos and keep up with the difficulty changes, and the drop to BTC25 per block, I can help myself with at least a decent supplemental income.


Your calculations are way off.
Even if you're only getting 300Mhash (undervolting?) you'd be earning BTC5.3 per month or so at the current difficulty. On a decent PPS+ scheme like projectx, Clipse's pool or GPUMAX, you'd get >6.

My stats show 0 shares submitted yesterday.
I did have some downtime overnight, but I was mining solidly from 9am GMT to ~2am GMT this morning and again from 8:58am GMT this morning at ~1.7Gh/s.

Have been using the eu2 server, with us2 as a backup.

I was wondering the same thing??  If i pulled stats and you were off line, the stats don't display until you start mining again.  So, since you are back, today will pay you for everything up till today if the 26th missed something...  I can always go in to the database and get your stats, but you should be caught up today.  We are mining on 6 servers now and on just port 8999, Ill make sure to pull on all servers to get all your shares... 

I am done adding servers for the moment, next one will eu3, but eu1 is empy as we speak.

I had to move this week, and move 2 servers, too, so I was late on stats.  But, please keep in mind, that I pay a higher rate for every share since I rely on trust and reputation and that costs me more. 

I am now working on providing more analysis of stats per server on the payout page.  Then putting up a Real time stats page...

us3.projectxpps.com:8999 is up in Minnesota.  us1 and us3 are not on EC2, but have way more CPU power and are at separate locations...



Wow, that's a weird little bug...
I hope the share totals end up right  Lips sealed Cgminer's showing ~19650 just now since 8:58am (GMT) and I probably did ~22500 shares yesterday, so as long as I catch up it's all good!

Cheers for putting the time in, and thanks for the bonus payouts!   Wink

eu1 is now up, on EC2 in Ireland, jp1 is now up on EC2 in Toyko...not loving the performance...but I am in Minnesota.  So, if anyone in those zones could send some traffic...it will help me test.

I'm UK, just jumped from us1 port 9003 to eu1 port 8999 - seems okay so far, I'll screenshot the client once it's run overnight to give you an idea of reject rates etc.

Where are you getting 5% probability from? I'm seeing more like 1% here.

Left p2pool a while ago, might go back to using it as a backup at least as/if it improves...
1057  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: High orphan rate discussion on: June 18, 2012, 09:54:49 AM
It is a major issue - if you look at the sort of transaction volume most stock exchanges or major payment processors get, it seems doubtful that the network as it stands could cope.

Hello everybody! All emails responded. I am extremely sorry for the delay - we've got an insane number of incoming emails combined with some family stuff going on, but now we're going full speed.

Also, the British seizure rate went pretty high up, so it is better to abstain from ordering if you're from the UK for now. We can only refund 50% if you show us proof of seizure, so order at your own risk!

Good luck!
If you actually get the guy to respond to the support email can you ask him to come on here and tell me what they're doing about my 21BTC order that seems to have vanished into the abyss?

Responded. I am sure we can figure something out, as you're a repeat customer and received your previous order fine.

Yeah, UK customs have been a complete pain, so I can understand that! I've had a bunch of stuff on its way to me on valuations of like $30-50 and it's ALL been stopped lately.
Apparently it has something to do with the olympics, although I'm not sure why that would necessitate customs searches...

A couple of pages ago you said the first two cartons had been shipped - any chance you could ship the third carton from the order to a different address? I think it's possible my usual address now flags in the database given the amount of customs charges I've been subject to lately.

As for proof of seizure - my mail to my normal address is getting forwarded by Royal Mail to where I am currently, but I'll be back there briefly next week and I'll see if anything has not been passed on properly.

Cheers for finally coming back to the thread!
1060  Economy / Goods / Re: [SMOKERS] Introducing Cigs.eu - Buy Cheap Cigarettes with Bitcoins on: June 16, 2012, 06:08:06 PM
Possible, but I'd expect to have heard from customs by now - It's happened to me before importing spirits and I got a customs letter about a week after the seizure. Seven weeks after the order shipped I'd expect to have heard something.

Either way - communication is key!

What did they tell you when they seized the liquor?
They gave me a letter with the tracking number of the package and a note on why it was seized (A combination of no UK safety labels etc + high thujone content).

The OP last posted more than a month ago, hasn't answered any of the people in here who've not received deliveries, has anyone actually heard from the guy since May?
