If I am using a windows platform would you use GUIminer or the CGminer software (or something else?)
I use cgminer for GPU mining on my windows/linux machines. IMO, MPBM is the best for FPGAs. would you recommend Linux over Windows? I have experience with both, but ill be honest some of the config in Linux can be tedious. I am willing to engage in extra work though if there is an advantage in using linux over windows though I also have FPGAs and for me CGMINER is better than MPBM. More shares per hour.MPBM only needs python so the OS is irrelevant. But In my case I don't need a computer to run it, I plug all the boards via USB into a openwrt router. See this: http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Icarus#Using_TP-LINK_TL-WR703N_as_hostYou might want to know about this FPGA board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51371.0And notice theres a new one coming, not yet released: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=79835.0 |

Ah. Will not work.
This is compiled for mipsEL (little endian) processor.
TP-LINK is mipsEB (big endian) processor.
err..thanks for the info. =) |

the archive is big because of the bitstreams for ztex and modminer. Unless you have one of those, you don't need them. The executable is actually quite a bit smaller.
I am using this: http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Icarus#Using_TP-LINK_TL-WR703N_as_hostam running out of space. the cgminer 2.4.1 here is 130, yours 150, I cant make it +x, why? is this a dumb question? I cant run the api with privileged access on this 2.4.1,think its a bug, thats reason I am trying a new version. |

what can you remove do to make it smaller?
I have a version 2.4.1 cgminer its only 130k

i will update these information after i can confirm. thanks.  Thanks very much. The future of my mining operation is hinging on the release of Lancelot...lol I am praying nightly for $500 @ $1/MH/s @ 25W....as I am certain I am not the only one in touch with God currently in regards to this.
If God is unwilling to answer my prayers, I will have no choice but to contact Satan. My present work is push it better than 1$/MH/S, and less than 25W. By present test, running the V3 old bitsteam, Lancelot only consume 15.6W I am looking forward to using that XILINX cable soon. I dont want to believe Icarus is really meant to die like the mythology, damn !  |

Now back to some thought on the reality of BTC. On average 7,200 BTC is generated every day (that wont change ... until it halves) At $6 that's $43,200 a day. for 6 months, that's $7.9Mil Now I don't know what anyone else thinks, but that's not a lot of money ... but that is the total at the current price that EVERYONE will get. Yet I wonder how much people will be investing in these many different ASIC options ... Remember 3 things: 1) Your investment now may be overshadowed by hardware in 6 months 2) In 6 months (well actually a bit less) BTC per block will halve 3) The easiest way to kill ASIC is to have to change the double sha256 due to some problem found with it ........  is there really a need for such performance right now? maybe in 2 years, or when the block reward strikes again to 12,5 with a bigger economy and lots of tnxs going on. |

 Sounds better than the most optimistics predictions I read here on the forum. Of course these are not ~final numbers~ and they have plenty of time to adapt according to what we are all saying here.

is there a PDF version of it?

Probably noon their time.
In 4-6 weeks... sorry I had to. lol'd This is reasonable, and only time will tell. I just can't help but feel that the GPU market (as a whole) will move faster than the FPGA market due to demand and market size. Of course technology across the board will benefit from advancements, but I believe the larger and more profitable markets will see it first. Very very very unlikely. AMD just made a shift to 7000 series and performance (relative to 5000 series) was lackluster. AMD won't be making a new generation for at least 18 months. Current 45nm FPGA compete well with GPU in all but the lowest cost areas. 28nm FPGA will eliminate any remaining advantage and ASICs will make GPU mining look as stupid as CPU mining is now. GPU mining is dead. Time will only worsen the relative comparison. Note this comes from someone running a 15GH/s farm all GPU farm. GPU being dead indicates that bitcoin is growing fast, and evolution/advancement will be inevitable. I must say of course that a lot of faith was put in AMD 7000 series, but it didn't do well to meet the Bitcoins market expectation in terms of hash processing power. Regards, BF Labs Inc. Then FPGA is dead as well. And bitcoin market isn't growing, it's the same level like year ago, maybe a bit bigger. ASICs will make this field only for big players, which is not good for Bitcoin at all. +1 |

I'm tempted to do the following 1) withdraw $6K cash from my bank 2) make a free cash deposit to BitFloor via Chase Bank 3) scoop up the BTC at $5.88 4) transfer the BTC to Mt Gox 5) sell the BTC for $5.95 and pocket the difference Only problem is that I don't have $6K in cash  Not so fast, with all the delay regarding the gox withdrawals. |

I wish I could use their service =) Right now I see 1014 BTC for sale at $5.88 on BitFloor.com. With the price at Mt Gox around $5.95, that looks like a good buy. Usually when you see BTC offer for sale below the Mt Gox Bid, it's for a a trivial quantity. But 1K BTC is decent size to me. We'll have to keep an eye on BitFloor.com. Their volume has been steadily growing and they have some nice features (rebates, ING Direct P2P, PopMoney, and ACH transfers).
opa, pode traduzir pro bom portugues o que seria o ~ACH transfer~? |

they get pretty stable 5.2/m utility on other pools
dont know why they behave like this here, but so far its ok. 10 minutes, expected utiility and no rejects at all.

No BTC-e, os números tem uma fonte menor e bem menos espaços entre as linhas... O MB tem fonte grande e muito espaço vazio entre as linhas...
Bóra aumentar para umas 20 linhas e aproveitar melhor o espaço?!
Abx!
Thiago
+1 Uma outra sugestão para melhorar a visualização das ordens, é alternar cores, exemplo, "claro / cinza / claro / cinza" do fundo de cada linha da tabela... Pois se diminuir os espaços, isso ajudará "os zóio da cara" e enchergar melhor, já que não sou o lobo mal... lol LOL! Mas já está assim! Talvez aumentar o contraste seria uma boa. |

 Fourth batch = less power needed. 17~18watts per board. 10 boards total hashing = 3.8GH/180watts 38BTC each boardif you buy all ten I can give the wifirouter and usb hub for free.this is the cable you get - 5.5x2.5mm connector  If you need the adapter you have to look for one like this, 12V at least 2amp  Email to rudrigorc2@gmail.com or PM here.More info on Icarus: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51371.0 |

The main problem for me here is that now I get a bad utility, 136 where it should be around 155. this is more than 10% ! Whats happening man?  |
