Last post from pcfli was January 24th and that's it? What happened?

A couple posts above I indicated I was using Antminer C1's. They are all hashing at 1005TH/sec locally, and I'm trying real hard to see if I can upgrade the cgminer to a more recent version. The version on there is 4.6.1, which doesn't support that #xnsub feature.

I'm looking to upgrade my cgminer version on my multiple C1's that I have. I saw the directions for the S3, but that was a patched/compiled file that you just needed to copy over, which I tried anyway and it didn't work on the C1. Is there a way to update or at least temporarily update the cgminer on the Antminer C1 or is this all through Bitmain? I don't think a new firmware is coming, and I like to keep the mining SW up to date. I'd even be willing to "donate" a little bit for a working pre-compiled/patched cgminer file if that can be done? Of course I know everytime I power off the unit I will need to copy the file back onto the system, but it is dooable.

Thanks

That's all it was ever, just a bunch of talk and worried people. Hell, the paranoid talked constantly about a "takeover" for months and nothing ever happened. Once the paranoia sets in and you have that mindset you just can't relax.

My miners are hashing good (1 TH each) but when I view the stats page they are only doing 800 GH/sec. And the speed rejected is like %2 to %4. When I've tried other pools I was always at at least 980-1TH/sec. Any idea what that could be? I'm just trying out this pool for the first time today.


Also, does the mining default to PPLNS?
And I put D=1024 in the password, but it still cranks it up to 4096 by itself.

I'm strictly mining BTC, nothing special. The title of this thread says "higher profits than difect mining BTC", where are those higher profits coming from and how long after you start mining there you will see that?

I'm pretty familiar with settings up my pools, but this one seems a little confusing. I'm just a little more concerned with why the difficulty is jumping way up to 4096 when I set it at 1024 in the password field to 1024 using "D=1024" from help from a previous post.

Also why my hashing speeds on my miners here at home are going full blast but when I check the westhash site I have high speed rejected stats. Unless I'm just not understanding this pool and it's setup.

Thanks.

Such a strange incident. I switched over my coolant to Feser One, blue color which has been just fine. But on one miner the blue color started to go away and turn clear. My other miner still has the dark blue color. I'm wondering where the heck the color went?

Also, will there be a new firmware upgrade on these to support the new features in cgminer? The latest firmware is using 4.6.1 and I think cgminer is like at 4.8 or something.

Does this pool work with Antminer C1's? Unfortunately the latest firmware only has cgminer 4.6.1. What would be an example to setup a worker? I've actually connected to see what speeds I'm getting, but I can only find my miners by entering in my BTC address, but can't figure a way to add the worker name.

These are my current settings for the pool:
URL: stratum.westhash.com:3334
Worker: my bitcoin address
password: anything

Where would I add my worker in there?
Unless the pool isn't really good with C1's or that version of cgminer.

Has this been fixed?

So, anyone determine if the Noctua NF-12 3000 PWM push pull is a better setup than using the Corsair SP120 High Performance/Static push/pull?

I mean, at full speed the Noctua's are only 43dB and have a 6 year warranty. (This is 3000RPM version. They also make a 2000 RPM version)
The Corsair SP120 are only 35dB and cap out at 2350 RPM and have a two year warranty.

I have used Noctua's in the past and their build quality and performance has always been stellar. I believe they make the perfect cooling fans, just seeing if they are applicable to the S5.
These guys even make a fan that's Certified IP67 which means it is dust and water proof down to 1 meter.


Of course, all this and keeping the temps down to 60c.


If I had the opportunity I would try the Noctua NF-12 2000 PWM model in a push pull config. Not as robust as the 3000 RPM, but it is much quieter.

Corsair High Performance/Static model Air series. I checked over some youtube videos on these very quickly and they are very quiet, but may not cool enough.

The Noctua has a higher static pressure of 4.18 compared to the Corsair which has 3.1.

So, who was the ginney pig and tried these guys out? My pick would be to use two Noctua NF-F12 2000 in a push/pull.

Every pool at some point gets attacked. Every pool I have ever used has had an attack happen. It is how the pool responds to the attack. It is 4pm right now in China, and 8am in the UK. If they are UK based, hence the slow response. They are just waking up, maybe a little lazy. Not sure where their admins are.

And you process all payouts manually one by one?

Yup, stupid mistake.

I'm unable to connect for some reason. I signed up with my username opentoe. This is what is in my pool information:

stratum.kano.is:3333 -u opentoe
worker: opentoe_kitchen
password: x

My rig never connects. I know it's gotta be something stupid, right?

I heard these models were loud. Is there a way to make them quiet without compromising heat? Changing fans? Etc? Also, what are the watts at the wall?

Does the payout go right into the user's bitcoin address? Is it automatic? Does it accumulate where you can then make a manual payout?

This issue exactly started when I first posted it. 4:36PM EST. We are going on 8 hours. Someone really must hate Ghash to keep it up this long.

Thanks. I just downloaded the new "testing" version since I'm getting tired of rebuilding the DB all the time.

An attack can affect the pool significantly. If there are latency gaps between the pool and your miner that will either cause the miner to hash much lower or drop down to the secondary pool. DDoS attacks just suck all around. I'll wait for a little bit until I start switching all my gear to another pool.

At least? What other URL's do they have?
Damn, that's a big drop.
I noticed it right away soon as my rigs started beeping at me.
Looks like the pool is having a hard time now....most likely all those that dropped off are not trying to connect again.
