basically i want a fan heater that also mines  (its aproaching winter and i want to keep the temperature above freezing in one of my outside buildings - i either buy a heater or use one of my old PCs/wifi ) the PC (old SFF cube PCs) only have AGP and supports single core CPU (Socket 775 (P4 2.  or A (Athlon 2600+)) - i have been contemplating just CPU mining for the hell of it but a GPU might be better  any recommendations? |

What are your current plans/projects for the pool?
Do you have a roadmap for pool improvements? need any volunteers for help? |

I've got a 1MHash rig running on this pool and over the past 30 days im averaging 0.013333 per day
Can I get your address? Your profits shouldn't be that low. PM'd you. Just ran the numbers, and you've made an average of 0.0233 BTC per MH/s per day Here's a lifetime hashrate graph of yours I just cooked up: http://middlecoin.com/hashratechart-hotwired.htmlAh thats much better - i forgot how much down time with the pool i actually have had  and i also forgot that my miner is configured with backup pool i need to calculate that back in too. is it possible to have something like that on the results page for the addresses? It would make life much easier in actually seeing what work has been done on the middlecoin servers Also realised that this is the rig i upgraded from 2 GFX to an open case in the middle of starting using middlecoin... grrr |

Right i've now moved my miners to my laptop as a test over the weekend - the two 10 port hubs are daisy chained as recommended. I'm using BFG 3.1.4 as its 32 bit and its been running fine - the only issue i've had is an automatic windows restart after installing updates. I suspect that my main minning rig doesn't like the fact that that it has 5 hubs connected - is it worth disconnecting the hubs connected via the onboard headers? I'd like to stop using my laptop as its additional power usage that i want to drop 50btc.com say to use diff 8 with 2000-4000Mhash. |

I'm still undecided on the effectiveness of this pool.
I've got a 1MHash rig running on this pool and over the past 30 days im averaging 0.013333 per day - thats not even breaking even on power costs.
I guestimate that it shuld have made at least 0.02 per day or more (admittedly its not had 100% uptime for the past 30 days but it should be higher)
I'm going to give it another 10 days and then i'm going to go to solo unless i see an improvement.

seeing a lot of:
stratum from pool 0 requested work update - and my hash rate is slowly dropping - any ideas what this is all about?
|

dropped it to 4 |

I'm now running all my miners on the two 10 port usb hubs - 1 miner on the first hub and 10 on the second which is plugged into the first - still using BFGminer 3.2.0
i have a USB fan blowing over all the miners.
am running difficulty 8 - is this ok?

this is my latest video for my standalone asic miner: http://jau.cc/lcd/cgminer_LCD_NEW.MOVit will be controlled via raspberry pi, everything put together in a special metall case with fans inside. completly standalone, controlled and setup with lcd (16x2) and 2 buttons. 1 device will have 7 overlocked (16.000 mhz) block erupters inside. when its finished, i post a picture of this device.. programming part is 80% finished.. now i need to programm the setup functions, so everything can be setup directly from the lcd via 2 buttons... also wlan and raspberry pi system settings can be setup. why not dump the video on youtube instead of providing a link to download it? |

What about cooling? These things get hot and you need a good air moving fan to blow across them. Get you a USB fan, or, just take a box fan and point it at them. It could be the reason why they begin to run, then crash (especially the ones in the hubs that are lined up next to each other, it creates a heat dome).
the ones in the PC have a 120mm case fan blowing over them and the 4 in the DLINK have a USB fan blowing over them - they feel cool to the touch. My new hubs turned up today so should be up and running later |

The HUB i hvae on my PC is powered directly from the PSU so has plenty of power and works perfectly - not had any issues with that hub since installing it - the external hub im currently using is a DLINK DUB-H7 - its recommended for the USB miners - its pluged directly into the motherboard USB ports at the back.
I'm using BFGminer 3.2.0 if that helps?
I have a PCIe hub powered by the power supply. the specs that came with it say 2amps, that is it. where it gets its power doesn't matter. It seems that all(most of) the hubs get some of their power from the port that they are plugged into. That PCIe hub will run 2 Dlink 7 ports fine, add an anker and the Anker doesn't work much beyond 1 erupter. Plug the Anker into the Dlink and it runs 8 erupters and a fan fine. that is my experience so far. The 4 USB Miners plugged into the DLINK are the ones that dont seem to be doing anything :S they'll submit a few shares and then stop doing anything - i've ordered a couple of new hubs to replace the DLINK - going to use the dlink for a different purpose (my raspberry pi entertainment center ) |

So cgminer shows GPU 0: | 142.1K/131.1Kh/s | A:0 R:0 HW:167 WU:124.7/m I:20 But even after more than 15 minutes, the website shows that worker is only doing 9KH/s. Is there a problem on my end? Also, I've noticed after leaving it on for several hours it almost always shows feathercoin.is-a-geek.com is unreachable. When I've noticed this, I usually quit and restart cgminer. Is that necessary, or will it resume automatically? What card are you using? try dialing back the intensity? |

I got two tek-net ones left over from my usb farm, They are identical to the anker ones ( made by the same company just re-labeled) and run 10, just a little cheaper, You can have both for £30 and say a fiver to post them?
Yup i'll take them  |

Im after a 10 port USB hub (or 2) - that works with atleast 8 USB Block erupters - must be working
My DLINK DUB H7 just not cutting it - will be using with a Windows PC and either CGMiner or BFGMiner (No RaspPi issues)

cheers,
kev
Top responses in by brain right now: 1) That's so hot 2) So that's what a mini-rig looks like 3) I just saw my block erupters start weeping 1) Hopefully its not that hot 2) I'm guessing each hub/miners could be classed as a mini rig 3) My block erupters just went ROI - whats that?  4) I WANT THIS! |
