Hi there, I just upgraded from version 3.3.1 to the latest release in the github repository (V 3.3.4). All works fine, also the hashing speed is the same as before. But there is one difference: I noticed that the orange LED (task buffer LED) on my Avalon is flashing with a frequency of ~1 second with the new version. Normally, this LED should stay off and only light when the task buffer runs empty and FPGA board has no data to process (see https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#FPGA_controller LEDs). Does this mean, the new version of cgminer is potenitially more efficient and could deliver the hasing data even faster to the Avalon device than before, but doesn't do it? |

Looks great!   What's your hashrate and clock speed? I'm very interested in those numbers to compare them to my own: I have tried to cool down my Avalon with an A/C like in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=242423.0Temps look fine: 15-19°C in the casing, 33-40°C at the blocks (Chip temp was below 50° all the time). But the hashrates are exactly the same as without the A/C, at 29° in the case and 45° at the blocks. Even at 50° block temp I have the same maximum hashing speed of ~82-83 GH/s @ 355 MHz. If I cramp up the clock, hardware errors increase so much that the hash rate drops down. The only difference I noticed when using the A/C is that I could run speeds like 400 MHz (with ~50% HW errors and hashrates <70 GH/s). Without the A/C, the highest clock speed is 385 MHz (also with high HW errors and lower hashing speed). Has anyone noticed the same increase in HW error rate when cramping up the clock speed above 350-360? This seems to be a barrier, regardless of the cooling. I was thinking of a water or oil cooling myself, but now, the only reason to do this would be to reduce the noise.  |

YES! I've got a tracking number! Order #2XXX, paid on Feb 18. Unfortunately, the package tracking of DHL is not working at the moment. Would love to see where my precious is just now...  |

It is described, you need use forrstv version of stratum for startum-proxy.
You should also compile mindsatate extension.
Where can I get this description? In the forum, I found nothing so far regrding this matter. Where can I get this forrstv version of stratum? And what is the mindsatate extension and how do I compile it? Thanks for any insight here... |

Hi there, I have some problems connecting slush's stratum proxy to p2pool. The pool is up and running fine. When I start the proxy, I get the following output: > ./mining_proxy.py -o localhost -p 9332 -gp 8341 -v

The last few lines repeat over and over again: the proxy tries to connect to the pool, exchanges some parameters and disconnects. I cannot find any output regarding the connection attempts in the p2pool logs. When I start the proxy with other pools, it works fine, Also the traceback at the beginning (TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__') only appears with p2pool. Has anybody any clue what's going on there? |

Hm, heißt das, wenn ich per Express verschicke, dass die Ware trotzdem tagelang beim Zoll festsitzen kann?
7 Tage bei normalem Versand klingt ja gar nicht so schlecht. In der Zeit kann man das Geld für den Express kaum reinholen...
Ich habe einen Jalapeno und einen Single bestellt. Bin sowieso gespannt, ob ich dann warten muss, bis beides auf einmal verschickt werden kann...
Ja logo, Express ist keine Zollfreikarte  Das hätte ich auch nicht erwartet, sondern eher dass es mit Express auch beim Zoll schneller geht. Sinn und Zweck der Versandart ist ja, dass die Ware schneller bei mir ist - und nicht schneller beim Zoll. Zumindest würde ich nur für ersteres bezahlen wollen... Die AsicMiner, die ich aus China bestellt habe, kamen jedenfalls sauschnell, waren innerhalb 2-3 Tagen bei mir. Mit irgendeiner Zollinstanz hatte ich dabei direkt nicht zu tun, sie wurden von DHL an meine Haustür geliefert. Musste nur Einfuhrumsatzsteuer bezahlen (und der Fahrer hatte jedes Mal kein passendes Wechselgeld  ). Daher hätte ich angenommen, dass es bei Expressversand aus USA ähnlich läuft. |

Hi Leute,
BFL scheint ja seit ein par Tagen Jalapenos zu verschicken. Bis meine Order dran ist, dauert's noch etwas. Bis dahin will ich rauskriegen, ob es sich lohnt, die Versandart auf Express zu ändern. Das kostet etwa 450 Dollar, und wenn ich wüsste, dass ich die Miner dann soundsoviel Tage schneller bekomme, könnte ich mir ausrechnen, ob ich in der Zeit das Geld für den Express-Versand in BTC reingeholt hätte. Also wenn jemand Erfahrung mit dem Versand von Hardware aus USA hat, bin ich dankbar für ein par Daten (Versandart und Dauer).
Ach ja, wenn noch jemand Jalapenos bestellt hat, ich habe gerade gesehen, dass es eine Update-Option gibt: für 100 Dollar bekommt man 2 GH/s mehr (7 statt 5). Einfach im Shop-Account einloggen, die Order anklicken und die Option auswählen. Schätze, die Dinger kann man etwas übertakten...

Hi there,
Now, that I am the proud owner of an ASIC miner, I joined slush's pool two days ago, because I was very satisfied last year, when I was GPU mining (slush's was my very first pool at all).
Until now, I worked on roughly 30 blocks and also got a reasonable amount of BTC as reward, but only two blocks were rewarded with NMC. On the others, the NMC reward is "none". Does anyone know the reason of this?

Hi there,
yesterday, I registered at Ozcoin to give it a try. I use DGM, have entered a valid NMC payout address and turned off automatic Namecoin Exchange into Bitcoin, but I don't get any NMC. NMC Balance is still zero and also the NMC Round Credit is zero. Is there anything else I have to do to enable NMC mining? Thanks for any help in this matter.

10 - but with the option to reduce or cancel if at the time these become available I don't have the btc to purchase.
.... if we're allowed to say that then why would't we all say 100? You should dismiss this bid. Ah, I forgot to place his bid at the bottom - additional confirmed bids will turn up on top of his. Thanks for pointing that out. I dont see how this works, ao by "bidding" on this item Im locked in to paying even if these boards go on sale in a month? I have to keep BTC around doing nothing just in case there is more blades to buy? Whats the point of having 50 units for sale and allowing people to keep bidding? Either its a waiting list (with no defined date of purchase should not be binding) or its an auction so only the first 50 people get a blade (the rest have to wait for another auction and bid on it then when it comes up), I dont think you can have it both ways. If the list is binding, how long is it binding for? 1 day? 1 week? 1 month? forever? Please clarify this so everyone knows what they are signing up for when bidding. Well, as long as we (all the bidders below the first fifty units in the list) are just bidding in the hope to get something, and friedcat promised immediate shipping for the 50 units he sold in the auction, I guess he will announce something like "I can deliver another X units at once and the next Y ones are not ready before Z days" (of course, X can be 0 here in the worst case and Z a very long time, but I sure don't hope so). So as we bid out of line of the auction's rules, I suppose nobody will get grumpy or blacklist any bidder who says, that Z days is too long and that he wants to back out. At least I wouldn't do this if I just sold a whole batch of my product in less than one day and have enough customers in line for more than another two batches. |

I take 2. Please add me on the waiting list. Thanks!

Komische Umfrage. Wie können sich 20% der Bevölkerung vorstellen, mit BTC zu zahlen, wenn nur 15% davon je gehört haben sollen? Aber prinzipiell finde ich einen Bekanntheitsgrad von 15-20% auch nicht schlecht. Da ist noch viel Potenzial drin. Ich sehe steigende Kurse, wenn die restlichen 85% davon mitbekommen, dass es eine sinnvolle Alternative zu Fiat Money gibt. |

Hey, my first ASIC mining rig is up an running! Two blades working stable at 9.5-10.5 GH/S each! I had to set up a stratum server to get the full hashrate (thanks to slush for his work!). A big THANK YOU! to friedcat and all the other people involved in this, also for providing the User Tips. Didn't have that document before. One question remains: What's the clock switching for? If I switch the clock to "high", the power consumption increases by about 15W, but the board stops working (hashrate displayed on the pool website goes down). After 2-3 minutes, it resets itself and starts up with low clock. If I save the high clock settings, it starts up with high clock, doesn't work and restarts after a few minutes. To do overclocking, you will need to do an overvoltaging by adjusting the trimmers on each power lane (8 in total) with a screwdriver and a multimeter. Please check 4 and 5 in our user tip: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VMO3VfIBy3KIwUaaQ8XhKrSVEbXeeMEqsVhhk6Bz9io/edit?pli=1#Oh, thanks for the answer, but that wasn't what I meant. Maybe I should rephrase the question: I was just curious about the "Switch Clock" button on the web interface and wanted to know what it's good for. I found out that it crashes the board and was suspecting, that I did something wrong at first - or maybe there's another step to be done to let it work properly. But I presume that it was planned as a feature to overclock by software, but it didn't work. Am I right?  |

Strange that the other guys claim 13GH without overclocking. Is this because of differences in calculating the hashrate or other reasons?
The web-interface of the board shows something between 9.5 and 10.5 GH/s. The numbers in the mining pool (bitminter) vary between 8-9 and 12-13. I suppose, the pool estimation is not very accurate or taken over a shorter period of time. My two boards mined roughly one BTC in their first day, which matches the prognosis. Let's see how they do in long term. |

About the overclocking: I just found this: Over-Voltage For overclocking, you will need to adjust the trimmers on the power module to increase the voltage output.
Would be happy for more information: How much can you increase the voltage without damaging the board? Regarding the proper cooling: what is considered as safe operating temperature? Thanks to anyone who can shed some light here! |

You mean someone paid for an ASIC device and received it within a week of sending payment!? Bow down to the friedcat. Yes, my blades arrived yesterday when I was not there. Just waiting for the second delivery attempt. I have ordered the PSU on Friday evening, the second I won the auction - and it's still on it's way. So the shipment of really special and hard-to-get hardware from Hongkong to Germany was faster than a inland delivery of a standard PSU. That's what I call good service... Has anyone made an attempt of overclocking the boards yet? I would appreciate any information, especially if it's worth the risk of waring out the hardware faster. |
