Why DDOS us when there are infinite other IMHO places more deserving Other than plain maliciousness, does it come down to numbers e.g. I can shut down these sites because I have control of more bots than they have server capacity as opposed to something like citicorp where I don't and can have no real effect except for keeping a few ticked off folks working overtime on christmas day? Why? I want to know why. And if it is about 'bots', how do I know if I'm not one of them? |

Dilute, hide, and broadly unfairly distribute costs. Sounds like everyday business to me.

i don't know why people are worried about diff increase all the time, the ratio between the profit and the diff will always be the same, so if many will join and it will be not-profitable, other will simply leave
it's not like everyone out there has free electricity, that would be scary, because they will dump until btc is zero in value, but even then there is the halving...
are you implying that difficulty and price have forever been synchronized even if not in immediate fashion, ergo increasing difficulty will yield increasing price? secondly, and possibly a crude iteration of what you said, I think that mining will essentially cease at the halving because only those with 16 or whatever nm architecture will even attempt to survive and technology won't meet demand for 4 or 8nm...at least nowhere near the halving time. As it largely now is, two or three companies will control everything after the halving and even they will be forced to 'pan' for their pay. If correct, will the diff after halving maintain the synchronization with price that I interpret you've suggested? |

 here it be the one i was getting the hack on and here is a old pic of the other 9:  and a recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCTxG20xpB8ignore Steve Gibson talking about microsofts security issues in the background Just noticed your pic with the monster heatsink, jesus....  . The heatsink is awesome but what's the raw looking stuff in the sardine can behind the nine sticks? I'm thinking it's a biological voltage control adjustable by flicking some of the barnacles toward one end of the can or the other. It's probably a secret, so I understand if you can't talk about it  |

I tried one of these (5V) to power a hub with a single stick+fan. With rare exception, couldn't get the stick to mine. http://www.meanwell.com/mw_search/SP-150/SP-150-spec.pdfWent back to the 3 amp wort that came with the the hub and everything fired up hungrily. Is there something about this power supply's specs that stand out as to why it 'may be inappropriate' for this purpose? What specs are on the wall wort? If it is 3amps. And 12 volts you need a 12 volt psu not a 5. The hub comes with a 5 volt 3 amp wall wart. Measured no load DC output voltage 5.23. The meanwell PS is 5 volts 30 amps. Measured no load DC output voltage 5.35. Seems the hub just doesn't like the power supply. I'll keep playing with it. |

Staggering sounds sensible to me too. I was picturing each of us in the starting gate peeing like race horses. |

Just an observation for anyone tweaking their frequency. I went from xxx to xxx+5 and my hash rate dropped dramatically. Then upped it to +10 and everything came back. I will no longer assume that linear necessarily means linear.

Is this legit for the OC club, cause I can get one made that is twice as big?
as long as it's air cooled I believe it is  I would prefer everything unmodded. Stock heatsink, stock voltage ( up to .8V) and power only over the usb-plug ... Maybe we wait until more members got their Y-cable ready.. We should name the contest somehow like "burnin' down the house", "eternal flame", "the roof is on fire"! Yes, I have to agree. Let's keep it clean for a while. There's plenty of time to burn things down later. |

By reducing the resistance of the little unmarked resistor above left of the pot, you can increase the adjustable voltage range. Our hacked-up test stick "Max" has been altered to run between about 615 and 900 millivolts (and ran stable at 488MHz before my hub wasn't good enough to keep up). In order to keep power stable at higher draws, you'll want to make sure your USB hub has very low impedance on the power rails and make sure the voltage at the Compac always stays above 4V even during brief high-current surges. The input capacitors buffer out some of that but at very high current draw (400MHz/800mV is about 12.5A but the buck circuit is good for about 17A before any parts are out of spec) the input voltage may sag and cause havoc to the power controller. Beefy input lines, preferably with a big capacitor near the socket, will help quite a bit in pushing these things farther.
That's a big friggin' heatsink. Awesome.

I forget the guy that asked about high share but it is good .
Also a few did not get a y cable that they order so they can have action.
And to make it just a bit easier the oc contest crash and burn you are out.
but the for high share you keep the highest share before you crashed. --- ie you could get lucky even if you crash out.
Might be a mute point for me on the hash rate any-ways, was testing some and popped something in the hub I modified for power. Have to see if I can modify another cheap hub laying around, before we start. Guess I should have stuck with 488MHz @ ~ 26.59Gh, instead of shooting for higher.Yeah 488MHz is pretty lame. You should probably remove yourself from the contest. |

When adjusting compac frequency using cgminer, or minera cgminer-gekko, or cgminer-gekko-win32, is there an interval that needs to be
understood when adjusting? Can I change from 276 to 277? Or is my 276 already being interpreted as 275 and a change to 276 will make no difference ?
tl:dr do I have to change frequency in intervals of 5 or 10, or can I 'effectively' make a difference playing with one or two Mhz at a time?
there would be little to no notable difference with changing it 1MHz at a time. changing it 10 at a time till it stops hashing properly or does mostly HW errors, then go back one step and fine tune it via 2-5MHz at a time OK and yes, I appreciate the rational approach. |

we talked about it during the last run. I mentioned it helps track sticks, but I think in this run mixing sticks and donated would be fine. When I setup the over clock contest this weekend that stick would need to stand alone to track. So if you are not planing to try the overclock contest I would just lump it together. If you enter the contest you can do a second account at that time. Ok great thanks . Are there any more details anywhere about the overclock contest? They are in the last October to November thread. Basically it is the best share total for 1 stick during 24 hours. Must show a screen shot or photo of the cgminer. Bfgminer at the start and finish. Must be air cooled . If you crash you lose. So the screen shot should be twenty four hours. I will photo what I mean. I host this stick so pretend it was in the overclock contest the start time is 2015-11-12 at 7:40AM it has an A of 103370 look left and shares are 102606 at 2015-11-13 at 7:40 am 24 hours would be up and you would take a screen shot showing the gui with no crash and cryptoglance's accounting for you we would enter the shares and see how you stand.  I use minera-gekko and I can't find a running instance of cgminer. I can open a command line and start a new instance ( i.e. (re)entering the gekko addy and user, but I'm afraid this will just open a new local miner and won't reflect what the pi is doing. Plus I'm afraid I'll mess something up. Would this log suffice for minera users? It's got much of what cgminer would show,e.g.dates, times, number of compacs?

My problem is now eliminated. I may still be enamored with my pi, but we're not joined at the hip. I cut it out of the equation. I moved the power supply and hub to a w7 box, now I can send a screen shot of my cgminer status. |

Is it still pushed back to the 21st? Got a little more tweaking to do and just want to see how much time I have to be ready. |

Seems they're worth more than a complete S1 box these days. Maybe just shipping costs or vat. I know that the few I have I don't want to get rid of any time soon |

You are clearly on a good track zHO. Pools are exceptionally good at determining what share difficulty you should be receiving. Some pools take longer than others to figure this out. I like to be able to make that decision myself.
My problem was that without suggested difficulty, I would be sent 1K shares for 20-40 minutes until the pool recognized how small I am. (bad things can happen in 20- 40 minutes of not returning a share, zadig, usb, libusb and even more unfamiliar stuff).
Now I can ask it to start at an appropriate difficulty, and I will be returning shares in just moments.
