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

the staggered time sounds good to me. i was dreading getting up at midnight or something to do screenshots. and if not me then someone else getting up at some weird hour considering how spread out geographically we are.

only issue might be the later starters would know what hash rate to beat.. someone early on fires up at 350 mhz others who start later know thats the speed to beat.

of course anyone truly competitive will run at speeds just this side of flames no matter what anyone elses speed is heh

I'm @GMT+1.
We should start in a given window. Deadline for starting maybe 10 AM of our local time so i don't have to fire it up 1st!

well staggered times are like speed trials for a car race. 


 these sticks can do 350 for 24 hours with no problem with cooling and power from a 2x usb source.

If you are the early starter.  and you choose a 350 speed and get the 24 hours in other will set higher but may fail do to a crash and burn.

but remember you can still win  second prize with best share.   Even with a slow setting like 250 freq best share could be won.

Also your high share counts  for the second prize even if you crash and burn.


I think making it a weekend 2 day slot for the staggered time is easy enough.

 Hell I don't mind if you pick the time you want.

 I just need to be sure the starting screen shot works along with a shot of crytoglance's stats.

I will do a pretend run right now for my stick (i am not going to enter contest)

[philipma1957]

I have been  running an s-7 here for a bit

I was going to run it for 1 week from nov 11 to nov 18

I will run it until nov 23rd instead.

[notlist3d]

Last night got mine fine tuned very well.  http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.notlist3dstick

At this point I am running 4 at around the 8 GH level. 3 of these I see as more collector items so I don't push hard really I just enjoy looking at.  And have 3 overclocked at around 14-15 GH.  And of course this takes very minimal power to do really which is great long term.

sounds good to me. I will be running at my max stock speed on my setup and will run at that no matter what anyone else gets. half the fun will be seeing how people with insane speeds got to that with a stock stick.. luck of the draw? black magic? high octane electricity?

Im at GMT-5 (eastern standard time USA).

so basically a 24 hour run with any start time after midnight GMT on 21 November? and we need a screenshot of cgminer/bfgminer and cryptoglances stats page at the start and finish of that 24 hour run?

can we start the run earlier? say I fire it up the night before, screenshot it at 7 AM local time on 21 November, then 24 hours later.. ie a more than 24 hour run as long as at least 24 hours of it is in that time frame. Ive noticed that sometimes the stick is hard to start at high clocks and once it fires at a particular speed it tends to just run.

yeah  we make you first about 7am east coast time.

once you think it is working.  sat 705 or 710 or even 730 am .

post a screenshot of the miner gui.+ crypto glance.
  I will post a comparable  matching cryptoglance.
and a shot from ckpool

So I have vapourminer pencilled in at 7am east coast time= EST    sat morning 21st 2015

1)vapourminer   7am EST  = 2am GMT


Next up is ?

Mine will have a little down time.  I have had a RPI2 sitting in it's box and was using a RPI model B.   I figure why not give it the upgrade.  So going to install it all over and should end up with a even better compac setup.  The old RPI model B has done a good job though. 

It has kept it up for long periods of time without any issue.  I need to see if I also can get a modded HUB.   I'm not sure I will be much of a contender on OC unless I do.  I did add a fan and fan controller for fun incase I do compete in OC comp.   The fan controller was overkill but kinda fun controlling the airflow of my solo miner area.

Do we have to sign up in a time slot?  I might get up at 10am, I might get up at 3pm, I don't have schedules on the weekend because, well, it's my weekend!

woops, kind of screwed up the worker name 

[notlist3d]

Got my RPI2 installed with software now and 7 compacs running on it.   It does have a lot more speed when multi-tasking.  But as far as mining as expected no difference a RPI VersionB worked just as good.

Now I I only could get my solder equipment out and give my hub a little extra power.

That sounds great .

I have a quick question if you don't mind please. When you use the RPi as a controller do you just install the software onto a blank sd card or does the sd card need anything else on it?

As the old saying goes "I've got all the gear but no idea" .

You simply flash your favored image strait into a SD. I use Win32 Disk Imager. Whatever was on the key before will get overwritten. Its the same for AntMiner SD cards or any image or OS image in general.

Ok great thanks I'll give it a try .

no but I need to see the entry to see if it looks correct.

 I will look a lot for 7am to 1150 am sat morning east coast time.

When I look at your crytpoglance part and your ckpool stats part I can tell by pulling new ones up that you were honest.

By you I mean all contestants.  So I just need a little spacing between each person or even more then a little time.

Say you start at 10am east coast see the three pieces of info you post.

1)gui
2)crypto
3)ck

I then check 2 + 3 to see they look good and give  you a clean start.
I also look at your high share which will be on the gui of cgminer/bfgminer that you just started. I need a fresh gui ss of the mining to get a high share as ck and cryptoglance's high share can change in ck's info if someone hits a block.

I'll probably start sometime around 8:00-9:00AM Eastern (-5 GMT if I remember right)
