I recently got 3 BFL singles. One of them seems to be a slacker. I use cgminer 2.3.1 and two of them report an average Mh/s of ~810, while the slacker reports 629 Mh/s. This shows in the # of shares submitted. The normal ones are approaching 8000 and the slacker just hit 5400. The light flashes on this one quite often. To be fair, I live in southern Arizona and temps are in the high 90's already. Last night before I went to bed, I reset cgminer thinking it was just perhaps the day temps causing issues. Well all the number above came from that run over night. Should I send it back?
The recommended ambient temperature is 72 degrees, don't you have a location with air conditioning? |

This has easily been the most entertaining thing I read all week.
Small minds are easily amused. |

For all the AUS folks I can confirm customs will not return to sender  I tried to order a laser a few years ago.. they confiscated it and sent a letter telling me it was gone. Yeah, they want to see: - Keyswitch interlock
- Clear labels indicating Class 3b
- Emission cap for when the device is not in use
At the bare minimum. |

wtf, they aren't the same person and I have no idea how you arrived at that conclusion. |

I just wonder what kind of scores would both of yours (dt & rjk) rigs do folding. Top 10?
Aha, I doubt it. Folding uses CPUs and Nvidia hardware, which are no good for mining. Mining hardware is AMD, and I doubt that it would fold vary well, although I don't know a whole lot about the folding scene. |

how about guest operating systems? (bamt/linuxcoin)
Likely BAMT, if I can make it virtualize, otherwise I'm not sure. |

Hence they should hire more people or have the boards fully populated in china where volume is easier.
They ran into supply chain management issues the last time that happened. TRANSLATION: Delivery dates got fucked up again because of the Chinese new year. Although I'm pretty sure most of the board-populating work is now being done in China since the new year is over. |

I was wondering what kind of noise does the server PSU make compared to traditional consumer PSU? In your case it is probably irrelevant as those delta screamers would drown out even a jet engine I haven't got it started yet, but I have ordered the plugs and a PDU for it so I'll try it soon. It has a smaller Delta fan inside, which is pretty loud. It is of superb design and build quality; every component is well placed and thought out. It should be able to throttle down the fan when idle or low load, so it shouldn't be too loud normally. Sry if i overlook the answer, but what OS is operated here on this backplane?
None yet, but probably will be KVM. |

I have noticed occasional, brief outages with this forum as well, but I haven't kept track of when. For better or worse, my experience has sort of caused me to treat it as normal and expected on big forums.  To the best of my memory, most of the outages have seemed to be during late night/early morning hours in the U.S. Central time zone, but this isn't a terribly large sample size. Further to this, I have been able to pin one of the downtimes to being at 11:10 PM Eastern time (just happened to me now) for exactly one minute. It never times out, but stays "connecting" for a minute and then suddenly loads the page. Has happened consistently for several days. Similar 1-minute downtimes seem to happen once in a while at other times too, but I haven't noticed specific times yet. If it is a backup script kicking off, there should probably be a throttle on it, whether it is causing the db to run out of connections, or just the bandwidth to be used up I don't know. Bumping this, because it is still happening. |

Updated first post w/ more pics & details.
Very nice. I just have been re-pasting my cards (because I had to remove the heatsinks in order to take the plastic bits off), and I can only imagine what hell it is to do so many. I've been keeping the same old thermal tape and pads, but even then I can only do 2 at a time before getting frustrated and having to take a break. Have done a dozen so far. Maybe if/when you switch to 7990s I will be able to buy your 5970s with the blocks already applied to stuff in my rig.  Wonder how much they will be worth then. |

Seeing as me, cbeast, the joint and gage all played a key role in finally banning jon and (hopefully) ending an era, I think we all deserve some sort of gratuity.
Please refer to my payment methods on the first page.

He's banned? If true, I'm going to 75 myself. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77535.msg864717#msg864717Looks like Gage's account was hacked too. lol. But seriously mods, please make this topic go away. |

Agreed. Advocacy for any manner of shady stuff, and blatant lies and FUD to beat down anyone that tickles his fancy. |

How about wait for evening EST? That would be now... |

Here's the PM he spammed all the lenders:
"Hey bud, i was looking through the loan scene, and yours seemed the most affordable for me.
I was looking to borrow 75btc to buy a third card for my miner, this can be paid back within a week,
as i am currently mining at 1.5gh/s. Please let me know if you are at all interested.
Regards,
Eric Barber."
Seriously, if somebody sends their BTC to this guy, I'm going to be pissed.
Spammed? I sent four pm's? What logical reason do you have to be bashing me on the forums other than your obvious lack of trust towards others? The mantra here is TRUST NOBODY and if you don't like it, too bad. If the PM you sent was exactly the same to all 4 people, then yes I would call it spam since it seems to claim that each lender is "the most affordable", even though they may all have different rates. Caveat emptor. |

It seems foolish to do a significant amount of business with an anonymous party.
almost everyone aboard the ship knows the captain's real name. +1, all the trolls and speculators as to his downfall only think he is anonymous because they have never dealt with him, or at least not so in any significant amounts. |

What needs to be done is to partner with an existing ATM manufacturer to have this software run inside an existing machine as well as the usual credit card software.

Also, I can't help wondering what that speed means to mining. Using pools would be interesting, as you would getwork twice a second, and long polling would not help. Then again, solo mining would make sense again, at least for a short time, and pools could adjust to higher difficulties.
This definitely bears some further thought. I have not kept up-to-date on all of the developments, but I seem to recall a proposal to increase the size of the nonce range (beyond 32-bits) as well as a proposal to increase the difficulty. It should be straightforward to modify the HDL to accommodate either or both of these changes. But only if it is likely they will be used in the future by pool operators in order to reduce the load on their systems. Solo mining may become realistic as well, at least briefly until ASIC mining becomes more widespread. Implementing Ntime rolling would be of great benefit in such a high speed device. This allows you to increment the nonce yourself as much as you want, within the specified time range stated by the pool. If we assumed 1/2 second to burn though one nonce, you could try 120 nonces within a minute (which is a common Ntime expiry, some are higher), with only one getwork request. |

Closed without comment  status changed from new to closed

Seems we have to do it on our own then  You cannot just throw some random buzzword laden idea in the tracker hoping the devs will jump on it and guess what you mean and how it should be implemented. And they are right. Start a discussion on their forums, with details of how it would work and how it would be implemented. A bug tracker is for bugs, not features. Also, bitcoin is a buzzword. |

Wow this is pretty epic. Congrats to Zhou Tong and the team at the Bitcoin Consultancy. Edit: fail |
