341  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My PSU only has 6 PCIe slots! Solution? on: September 22, 2012, 09:49:54 PM
Why don't molex connectors work for this PSU? Still have a card here sitting on my table waiting for a workable response. I'm not paying 89 bucks for a "supplemental psu."
Molex connectors will work fine.
Alternatively, buy some pci-e power splitters.

You started the bid at $100 OVER the selling price for a NEW one at BFL?
>.<
And it's got bids. Go figure  Cheesy

jwzguy, how does it screw over the people who stay there?  If I do say 1/100th of the work, isn't it fair that I get 1/100th of the bounty?

Because the shares early in a round on a proportional pool have a higher predicted yield than shares later in a round.
When people hop, 24/7 miners get in less shares early in the round and so their average predicted yield is lower.

graet,  no,   I did not submit 8 shares out of the millions.  I submitted 8 hours worth of mining out of the total 14 give or take an hour or so.

So let's say my normal 'cut' would have been 10 cents,   if I did half the work I  normally did, then my cut should be about  4 to 5 cents...  (i say cents but you know what I mean so don't try to nit that to avoid the issue).

My point was I DID submit significant work towards this block but got flat out ZERO for it.   Even if as you said, I only submitted 8 shares out of the entire job, I should still see SOME, small return for it.

That's how score proportional systems work. The value of your shares decays rapidly over time, so on slush only the last maybe 15 minutes worth of hashing actually matters to any great extent when a block is found.
It makes the thing a little bit less profitable for hoppers basically.

One other thing: If you're not going to be gaming too turn your memory clock way down. That'll help with heat+power use.
346  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Pool Operators - PLEASE BAN & BLOCK GPUMAX getwork/proxy access to your pool on: September 22, 2012, 12:01:01 PM
As confirmed above, it was GPUMAX (or pirate40, to be precise - even tho I have no real proof for that) that was pool-hopping us, using his own account (registered with a fake e-mail of course).
Do you happen to still have some record of the payout address used?
347  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Is this about right? on: September 22, 2012, 11:49:01 AM
You could always try doing a custom fan curve in afterburner if you want to bring it down a bit, but a 5770 should survive like that for a while.
348  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Well that blows on: September 22, 2012, 11:22:55 AM
What pool? Sounds like Prop with some sort of anti-hopping hacked-together solution.

Switch pools.
He's talking about Slush's pool, they had a 14 hour block yesterday and now that they've changed c on the score system there shares lose value quite quickly...
349  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Is this about right? on: September 22, 2012, 11:11:00 AM
Which drivers are you using?
A 5770 should have the flags on -v -w 128 as said previously (that goes for all 5xxx cards).
You'll struggle to get past 200Mh/s on that card but you should be able to get past 180  Smiley

Which would be what?  What pertinent information was withheld exactly?  We have shipped products in the past, we will ship products in the future.  One of the employees past has absolutely no bearing on the ability of our company to ship products.
Except that the part owner (CEO?) of your company is quite possibly violating his parole by collecting massive amounts in pre-orders like this.

By the way, why the hell can't you people just get a regular business loan to fund your first production ASIC batch? Y'know, like reputable businesses do.
I'd have thought having shipped a bunch of mini-rigs and a bunch of singles, you'd have the accounts there to get a cheap-rate bank loan or to bring in venture capital and do this properly...

It might be a good idea to mention Zeek rewards...

Is it public knowledge who convict's parol officers are? If he is following his instructions, he should be checking in with someone who should have been made aware of his involvement in BFL. If this is true, and the agent has looked into BFL, we should have nothing to worry about.


If he is not, we should make a phone call to have BFL investigated. Thoughts?
This is the best idea yet in these threads.
354  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: New Evga PSU with 16 (!!!) Pci-e connectors on: September 21, 2012, 08:02:49 AM
16 pci-e connectors, but 8? rails. No thanks. You'll probably be lucky to pull 800 watts from that thing without forcing a shutdown because of over current protection. Single rail forever.

While 8 rails at 20A each =/= 160A, it does say it's rated for 124A between all the rail, so that's ~1500W, not 800.
It also says on another site that you can switch it to single-rail mode (which seems odd) and that it does 1650W on a single rail if given 230VAC.

Had projectX set as my failover whilst doing a big contract, now I'm pointing ~6Gh/s of FPGAs your way and nothing is showing on the live stats.

My address is the one beginning with 1AgK7 - you can see I had 30Gh/s going your way for a while, should be about 6Gh/s now.

^Bizarrely, my server also occasionally sent you shares with usernames belonging to my other contracts  Cheesy

Well I had a nice suprise from the tax man today and now have a $500 budget for a new card/s!

Woot.  I would get the ASIC's from BFL though, tbh. Just sayin.. Wink
Or an asic from Cablepair/Avalon at this point  Wink
357  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: PeerMining.us ¦ Dedicated Server ¦ 24x7 ¦ Denver, CO on: September 20, 2012, 06:26:31 PM
im your first miner. im only running 12.2 mhash/s right now though Sad
but hey, lookin forward to seeing the payout, even though itll be none for me right now, no?

Hey glad to have you with the pool!  At 12.2 mh/s you won't be making a lot at any pool, it will take time before you get any substantial spendable amount.  Within 24 hours, granted you have solved a share in the pool (not in your mining client) you will, yes, get paid out.

Any other questions, please let me know! Smiley
At 12.2Mh/s, I'd imagine there's a fairly reasonable chance of not solving a P2Pool share at all in a day, no?  Cheesy
358  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Basic Spec on: September 20, 2012, 02:12:21 PM
Sorry its probably a stupid question, but what makes these better than the ones I mentioned earlier? Happy to go with them just curious why they mine better?

Thanks.
Much better Mh/s/£  Wink
A couple of months back I had a spare motherboard, picked up a 950W PSU, 3 5830s and a 5850 and effectively got 1.2Gh/s for ~£350
359  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Basic Spec on: September 20, 2012, 02:03:27 PM
I would say yes...but I can't seem to find them anywhere and as I am building it from scratch i am trying to get it all new...snob I know.

O and I am in the UK if that helps.
Well if it's a warranty concern, find something like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XFX-ATI-Radeon-HD-5830-PCI-e-Gaming-Graphics-Card-1GB-HDMI-DVI-Display-Port-/170911645861?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item27cb20c0a5#ht_1829wt_1163

Alternatively, there are a bunch of 5850s and 5870s going on ebay right now for ~£70-100
360  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [23 GH/s] HHTT - User Selected Share Difficulty/PPS/Paid Stales on: September 20, 2012, 01:39:52 PM
Is there any way to make the usage graph less "spikey"? It shows peaks that go well above (more than 50% above) my hash rate. I realize there is an extremely smoothed version  at the bottom of the graph, but can the main part of the graph be smoothed at all? Maybe take a measurement over a longer period of time, like every average of 10 minutes instead of 1 minute for example?

Each datapoint is the average for an hour.   I've just experimented with some larger time periods and it loses a lot of data.  I could make it configurable so you can look at whatever data point size you like.
You could add some basic interpolation maybe?
