The only reason why I brought it up was from my previous post that no one answered. Maybe I'll just ask it again here.

If my hash rate according to my miner and cgminer us a 560Gh/s average, why does BTC Guild report back my speeds at 529-580 inconsistently? As I said before I'm sure it is something I can check, I just don't know how. All my error rates are low and cgminer itself tells me I'm good. Is it a lag thing between my setup here?

Because I haven't been able to get consistent rates, that's why I was going to try another pool to see what happens. But I really hate touching or changing things around just for testing.
Thanks

Thanks for this. I know the -h is to HALT the system and the -p is to POWER OFF the system, but does it actually power it off even when the power supply isn't turned off?

I'm in the US. Can anyone recommend a place to trade my NMC for bitcoin?

No problem at all, just looking for a backup.

How in the world can you sign up for Ghash when it is impossible to read the verification image? See below. Also, where is the Ghash pool thread on the pools area? I would have posted this in there if I could find it.

My miner has a very low error rate, and tells me it hashes at 560 average at a constant. I check my hash rate on the Guild and it dips to 529 all the way up to 580, which I don't think my miner can even go. Why are there such inconsistent hashing rates according to the Guild site and not my local miner stats? I'm sure there is a reasonable reason for this, I just don't know how to check or tell why.

I also saw that ghash.io pool size. Does make you wonder, 0 fees and growing at a quick rate. If you are getting rewarded the same amount, is it loyalty that people stick around? Just trying to understand, as we all hate fees. I also don't know how a pool operator makes money. Are the pool fees how The Guild makes money? If yes, then how the heck the other 0 fee pools keep servers going with no fees? Scratching my head.

As I said before, the only company/person that ever paid me back in bitcoin even when the BTC was worth a lot more was Silkroad. They were true bitcoin users. Not these half ass companies that are in the bitcoin world using the USD rate to profit from. If you are  bitcoin company, and I would think making bitcoin mining hardware makes you a bitcoin company, when someone pays you in bitcoin, they should return to you in bitcoin also. Those drug selling slickers had more couth then most "bitcoin" using companies around.

Ah ok, I got your point. I forgot the point of you having them the whole time since they were $100. Get it. I should have hoarded all my coin when I bought it at $15. Could have paid off my house maybe.

What I'm trying to say is KNC prices their gear in US dollars. Doesn't matter what the price of bitcoin is. When you go through the checkout process how ever many bitcoins it takes for that invoice to equal $10k or $13k is what you will pay. I'm being specific to how KNC does business, I understand is BTC lowers/rises and all that.

Not really, since KNC still puts the price in USD prices and still requires bitcoin. A company truly accepting bitcoin doesn't look at the USD worth at all. Trust me, weather BTC was $10 or $1000 you still would have had to pay $10k.

I hope they don't deliver until August or May. OR NEVER! I couldn't bring myself to even spend 10k when I had the chance on such a big delivery window. If a company can't boil down to at least what quarter they will have a product, then it clearly was a rushed advertisement and they just wanted to stock up on big money before the year went out. I'm a hater today.

I have 8 computers and many other IP based devices on my home network and couldn't live without DHCP reservation. I've been using it since routers starting using it and I've never hard coded an IP stack since then. I highly suggest everyone does this that has this ability, since once you go that route it's pretty much trouble free. Let your router do all the work, not you.

If they use DHL, then it could be delivered on Saturday like my Saturn was. DHL works and makes normal deliveries on Saturday, unlike UPS and Fedex which charge you gold for that.

This SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. You are supposed to hook up a PSU to these miners to power them up. If your miner blows up because you are doing exactly what the manufacture says, then it should obviously be warranty covered and taken care of. Sorry this had to happen to you.

Do you use the paper clip trick to power on the PSU? If you do, make sure there is a solid/good/tight connection there. If it is not, it could power off the PSU.

The air sucks into those fans (where the Ethernet port is) and expels all the hot air through the rear grill. The back of your rigs, where the hot air expels, isn't pushed up against the wood, right? It assume it is open behind there heating up your house or heating up something.

Man it gets frigging tiresome reading through 10 pages of bitchiness all the time. Although if I had bad hardware and didn't get proper support I'd be bitching myself.

The big issue is all these miners are basically defective. You are suppose to receive your rig. Plug an ample ATX PSU to it and then configure it via the internal website. Nothing in the manual says to remove the cover and add fans or change anything around. You SHOULD NOT have to open it up, add fans, wires, plugs, adapters, thermal grease, vibrators, drill more holes, re-connect wires, change wires, NOTHING. It wasn't designed well, can't cool itself properly and some times needs more attention then my girlfriend. I constantly have to keep removing the top and putting it back on to control the temps. When I first bought one of the first bluray DVD players that I paid a fortune for I didn't have to open it up and add cooling fans to it and change the design around to make it run the way it should. I just plugged it in and it worked. That's what EVERY KNC miner "should" be like. You plug it in and it works. If it doesn't work properly by plugging it in and configuring the pool, then it should be considered defective.

Just imagine if KNC used those warranty seal stickers on their rigs. If you open up the top you would be forced to break that seal and then you void warranty instantly. We would all be in big trouble if that was the case.

I guess I'm just contributing to the BS drama I have to read every day between a few people here, and it gets real tiring. I'm a little upset also that BTC price is at $700, since I was a little spoiled when it stayed around $1000. I'm not a BTC hoarder or trader. I just sell what I make and that's it. I guess most people hoard their coin, maybe which I should do once in a while but whatever I sell is money I didn't have to begin with. And when people say they stayed up all night trading, what does that mean? Isn't it pretty simple, you buy when it is low and sell when high? Or are they buying/selling at real high speeds or something? I'm not a stock market person so it is hard for my small brain to comprehend.

To add fuel to the fire, they haven't responded to any of my support requests. They apparently are experiencing a "coinbase" I'll call it. Since coinbase performs in a similar matter. They are always late, don't respond or backed up. Some of these sites really need to STOP accepting new customers right now and take care of the current ones.

Is coinbase.com site down? I'm unable to access. Just checking.

On the workers page there is a setting to set min difficulty. I have a rig that hashes approx 560Gh/sec, which number is best to set this at?

Also, can anyone recommend a site (I'm in the US) that I can send my NMC to and trade for BTC?
Thanks
