1081  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [3200 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+Orphan+NMC, Stratum, Private Servers on: January 15, 2014, 12:54:34 AM
Any connection issues with the US server? If I change it to the EU server I can connect and start mining. Once I switch it back to the US server I'm unable to connect. I've reboot my rig about 10 times trying to connect to stratum.btcguild.com:3333 but it won't connect. It will connect to eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333.



Update
30 minutes later....I'm still only able to connect to the EU server. My rig tells me "API connection failed" when I try to connect to the US server. I can see if I couldn't connect to both, but the EU server connects real quick and starts hashing right away. Takes forever to get up to speed though.

What do you think the safest die voltage level is while keeping the SPI voltage on automatic? I have an October 4VRM rig with 4 modules. I know my way around a linux system and can program pretty easily but when it comes to electrical stuff I'm kind of in left field. I just don't want to blow up my Dad's rig.

I never keep the web stats page up at all. I barely ever use it and when I did finally use it just to checking something noticed how slow things were going.


Is there any documentation for using the "tune" firmware? Before you start to blow up your rig? How many volts? Frequency, anything like that? Did KNC release anything on that or just threw it at us and said good luck?



Advanced tuning is only usable if your miner is not healthy (dead dies, disabled cores etc.), or you overclocking your machine. I am running 630 GH/s right now with my Oct Jupiter.

630 with 4 modules?

Pretty soon our upgraded Saturn's aren't going to matter with the project I have going on, but they feel like our first baby and we still have to take care of them.

Both of our upgraded Saturn's use to hash rock steady at 560Gh/sec. We have even upgraded our power supplies so each module is on it's own line. Then slowly no matter which firmware we used the hash rate would just very slowly drop and never increase again. Both of our Saturn's are doing this and they are hooked up hashing 100 miles apart from one another. Could it be that the hardware is starting to fail? We never had to mess around with their tuning kit. Apparently their hardware isn't as good as I thought it was if only after 3-4 months starts to behave negatively. I tested the power supplies, made sure all our connections are good. The only thing left is the hardware itself. Very strange our hashing speed would just decrease from 560 all the way to 520 with no intervention at all.

Just checking, but have you tried using a different pool?

I'm getting the hash rate not from the pool, but from the miner page itself.

I'm definitalely going to change back to maybe .98 or something. Ever since I got into the .99 I've been hashing a lot slower.

My Dad's miner also has a small issue. On one of his OUTPUT CURRENT value's it is very low. Is there a reason why this is? Here is a screen shot of it.

With all of this hash-power coming online -- when are we going to get an update on Neptune?

We are only 13 days into Q1. My son, you have a much longer wait. Months.

My friends and I bought a large order of ASIC boards/chips and finally everything is built. I'm going from 555Gh/sec to 5Th/sec. And since the electricity is all on a generator paid for by the building owners they could care less filling that thing with diesel everyday. The party starts now! Since I really won't need my Saturn/Jupiter anymore maybe I'll auction it off. Fine running machine.




Lucky you! Smiley

What chips/boards did you get hold of?

I have no idea. I was basically the "money" in this venture. They needed me and I needed them. Their the experts in building everything, even doing some of their programming. I've been waiting for over a year on this because it was so hard to get the ASIC chips I was told...but they finally were delivered. Having a native Chinese guy on the team who has family in China really helps a lot!

What's up with this new firmware? 99.2-tune? I applied it and I'm hashing 10-15 Gh/sec lower. Oouch.


"-tune" should give a clue.....  tune it! ......every asic is different

Yea, right. With no official documentation or limits I'm going to fool around with that. I was doing just fine on .99 firmware and I think I'm going to flash back to that. I was at a steady 560Gh/sec which I could live it.

When it did drop to $600 a few weeks ago, I made a big purchase then also. I normally just mine my coins, but had to make a purchase. So I'm doing well and my stubbornness is just keeping me from selling since I got spoiled with that $1k a while back. The waiting game.

This post is designed as a handy short cut to help you find your favourite pool's forum thread, or shop for a new pool. The hashrate is an average based on a pool's published statistics for the week, unless that pool does not publish round history on API or html, in which case it's the hashrate when the list was updated. I'll endeavour to add more pools as I can.


Remove 50BTC they are STILL scammers and theifs

My mommy told me all pool operators are scammers. The ones that can hide things better are the more successful ones. That's why you truly never see raw logs of anything. I can only imagine what goes on. Reminds me of the movie Casino. Where the guy walks into the Casino cash/money room with an empty case. He opens the case and fills it with money while everyone in there is just working like the guy isn't even in there. Closes the case, cabinet door and walks out. No one says anything or even looks at him. To me, that's a poop operator.

thanks new firmware works good eligius with bfminer on Nov

but works bad in oct bfminer

October bfg eats shit for me too.

OK, so it's not just me. That means there's a higher chance of finding a solution!

I posted months ago when BFG was introduced into the firmware that is doesn't work well with the October rigs. Lower hash rate with a much higher hardware error rate.
1094  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: January 13, 2014, 07:01:33 AM
FWIW the poor audio quality is not down to me. The stage was amongst all the other exhibits in the main entrance grand hall. The ambient noise at the CES was very, very loud. I could barely hear Brian ask questions and he was next to me. They have scrubbed that audio considerably to remove any background, I can only presume there is a loss of audio w.r.t. myself as well. I can also only assume that's why Tech crunch chose to have their talks in a 'studio' they created in the parking lot outside, and away from the madding crowd so they wouldn't have these audio issues. You can probably imagine how many people attend the event. It's monstrous.

With respect to dumbing down the explanation of Bitcoin, I was asked to. Their audience is green, they were very clear on that, if I couldn't convey a simplistic explanation and have their cameraman have a lightbulb moment I shouldn't say it. I was asked to keep things very simple so anyone listening could get a gist. This was broadcast live, and you are on the spot. That's pressure, none of that was pre-rehearsed. The most important aspect was to convey that mining is about processing, securing and verifying transactions in my mind and to step away from this entire money printing premiss, although they want figures as the readership (in this case viewership) demands such. A while back I wrote an article for an inaugural Bitcoin magazine, they requested I explain the entire concept of Bitcoin mining, and it's history within 800 words and it has to be so mom 'n pop with some financial literacy can grasp the subject. That's not easy when you're assuming the audience has no prior knowledge and you are that restricted w.r.t. word count.

I was told prior to Xmas that a first day Jup had cleared $60k by an early customer, so I'd expect it to be closer to $70k by now given it's been approx three weeks since I was told that now. If I'm wrong, please correct me and I won't repeat the mistake. In any case I'll chase the guy that told me for confirmation, I wasn't pushing sales garb, but obviously the point was to remain positive, and satisfy the q's being asked.

EDIT: have just now heard it myself as the link wasn't working previously, and the audio sounds fine on my iPad. Also I was only given the all clear to go at the beginning of the week, so I entered the above totally blind. And the hair, Wink a very rare good hair day, for some reason it decided to cooperate for once. No complaints there! Tongue

If even that was a a possibility a rig actually making $70USD it would have to be proven since it is not the norm at all. I would believe half that easily. So rather then saying the reward that only 1 person possibly got back should have said the average number. I just hate when marketing/sales people try to lay down numbers and they just somehow pick all the highest numbers they would interest them the most. As you just said, it was a green audience, now they all think if they buy one of those things they are going to make $70k.

The ambient noise issues at CES must of been why it was just heard to hear. I have good ears and understand multiple languages very well, so whatever they did in the audio edit wasn't very good.

User sgravina just said the same thing. It is hard to understand the dude. Just a couple posts back. Two people in a matter of minutes saying the same thing. It's not just me. I don't expect him to be a professional speaker, but he's talking to the world and really should at least try to cut down on his accent if he wants people to understand him fully. I'm still baffled where the hell he got the $70,000 figure from??? Why would they lie publicly like that?



How is that a lie, I just said I've known people who have achieved close to that. If you look through the last few pages of this thread there is another one. I took a quick glance through your old posts, and it is seriously nothing but whining about knc for months. How did you get a first shipment saturn and still not do well? It's just whining and whining.

The first rigs indeed did not make $70,000 and I'll keep that opinion until someone can proove it. I don't see how it is possible. Yea, Bitcoin did reach $1k but it certainly didn't stay there.
1096  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will it hit $1000 again? on: January 12, 2014, 02:10:55 PM
we are very close to $2,000 mark

Huh? I'm an impatient person I guess. There has to be something that's holding it back, not allowing it to creep over that $1k mark. All is ok, since I'm just accumulating coins but it has been a while since I've sold any. When it hovered around $1k for a while I constantly sold here and there.I thought this weekend would have been it!

Did he say the early adopters spent about $7k and made about $70,000 dollars? Right around time frame 10:45 he says $70,000 dollars. WTF? Can someone listen to it and confirm that's what he said? For some reason it is really hard for me to listen to Alex speak. I don't know if it is his accent or whatever, but it's just difficult. Not a professional speaker that's for sure.



Wow, I thought it was great for a 20 minute unscripted interview. At least "not a professional speaker" is better than "professional troll" Smiley

What are you bitching about now? Besides, I know those numbers are real, I know people who got early jupiters, mined a lot of coin then sold the units on ebay. It's really not unbelievable.

Starting to get a little nervous as a Batch 1 Neptune buyer. Can't imagine how the later batch must feel. Wish KnC would release some development news.

Dude, serious, you have several months to wait here. Too many people had a Juipiter high and spent all that money and now are second guessing the cash they have spent. It's not just a couple thousand here. It is only just getting into the middle of January. A Neptune won't be seen for at least 4 months in my opinion. If I had to wait that long I'd go nuts. I think I only waited like 40 days for my Saturn/Jupiter and it killed me. You guys who ordered a Neptune have some big balls!

Here is a new video where the guys guess is Jupiters MAY he seem hesitant that Jupiters may be released at the end of the month

was Friday (yesterday) at CES with KNC runs like 20min or some such

http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/10/KnCMiner-interview/

really good interview basically says what most of us guessed

lmao when he says on there certain companies did not follow thru on delivery and they we're frustrated like others and approached the chip mnfg for making KNC

heh LMAO they have to be talking about BFL what a hoot ......

anyway enjoy but now if his hesitant answer is correct ...price my man price...if we get them in say middle of Feb they will have to be dirt cheap imho

interesting times indeed..but really good interview

Searing
