I've lost nothing as I say personally (bar a 50gh single I ordered July 2011 so next to nothing). Again, greed will be all your downfalls!

So you were super greedy yourself. You were a gullible and greedy fool and preordered a mining machine from BFL hoping for amazing profits so you could just sit on your lazy ass doing nothing.

You've been a bad bad person with no morals. So tell me, how many BTC did that BFL single cost you in 2011?

74btc, it mined back 3-4 and now sits proudly as an auniment on the shelf haha :-)

You're so full of shit.  You didn't order anything BFL in July 2011, and you certainly didn't mine 222 - 296 BTC with a 50 GH single.


can you read? I paid 74 and mined 3 or 4 back and its now turned off and sitting on the shelf! I was mining with 5850's and 5870's from 2010 too. Why should I care if you believe me or not? Haha. 1 thing I'm not is a liar! (Intentionally)Unlike most people!

@ teal - I did go check when I read your comment. Order #3957 July 19th 2012, $1,387.00 with standard shipping (good call). So yes, 2012. My mistake but can you blame me for not remembering fully with the in 2 weeks mantra lol. So there it is for you all. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it :-p

It even has no lid because the design is that bad it made loads of noise because the fans were too close to the metal frame. I can provide picture evidence of it as its still sitting  there from when it was switched off, cables and all. But do you really need that much! Although I may come across strongly and aragant (arragonce creates leaders and is not a bad thing all in all) I do not try to hurt, harm or lie to my fellow man! This world makes people so sceptical about everything lol. Why would I lie about something so trivial haha

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

You are probably wrong about the price then. The Single would have been more like BTC150

Interesting. Im sure it was but I do throw btc about like candy though. Who cares what the price is as I say. Ive given so much away over the years (£/$1,000's worth) to get people to see the basic uses i really do forget the amounts. The aim is to use bitcoin and not let greed dictate what you do with them (holding on to them hoping to make 'profit' in false fiat currency). Luckily 3rd world (derogitive term, I shouldn't use that) get it and they are the people using it for good things. Grass routes and all. They are the real people who bennifit from this technology, not the greed of us westerners, including myself in that! If you earn £15000/$20000 a year, your in the top 1% in this world! Think about that! People who earn that still don't have a great life and are not classed as 'rich' by a long shot! But their top 1%!  So fucking sad.

bitcoins fungibility is the biggest importance and that's always improving and growing. The lack of nodes on the system as there's no 'reward' for doing that is its biggest problem and no one talks about that! Price is irrelivent and intrinsic value is maluable as well and always changing. That's why I have a good laugh at gold bugs. So last millennia and a form of control itself along with religion  ;-)

As I say, greed will be most peoples downfall here. They don't understand simple principles of life and what's really important! When you can't get a drink of water for 2 days or are starving for a month, then come back and tell me what's worth what! The only thing worth anything is our labour actually, everything else is irrelivent as its our labour that creates, nothing else! And they manipulate our behaviour through false currency. That's it at its bare essentials. I'm hoping the bitcoin protocol eventually takes us to a cashless society where people help each other and live in abundance! Not the manipulated bullshit we have today. But one step at a time hey!

Still in top 3%! USA's average in 2004 (latest I can get) is 60k, the median is 44k so we'll use that. That's actually top 0.1%! You see the disconnect? Specially blaming the top 1% for it when really its the top 0.000001% that have 95%+ of the wealth! Over 8 billion people and about 10,000-50,000 people own 95%!

This is why bitcoin is important and why Bitcoin block chain can change this! Make it a level playing field for all. Fuck us privileged ass wipes who moan about bullshit all day everyday. Its not about me or you! We've been fucked with all our lives and don't realise what we got while other pay the price! Were not lucky or privileged or whatever, were selfish, greedy sacks of shit who take everything for granted! Programming at school and manipulation is why so don't blame yourself, its just how it is! But its time for change and that's 1 thing that's always sat true, change waits for no man :-)

Bfl scammers just use this programming that's been done on us against as them at the top do. That's it. They understand what's really going on and use it for their own gains. That's the raw deal of it all. This is why this bfl bullshit is interesting to me. There essentially the same mentality of our manipulators. Do they realise it themselves because they lack empathy and do everything for themselves, not sure, ask them! This is how I clocked josh was a scumbag within 5 minutes of conversation, and knew it was a lost cause with them. No skin off my nose, you'll be judged at the end of this life for your words and actions ;-)

I was just kidding, you silly person you.

BTW, TLDR any of that.

I tried to read it but there were so many spelling errors and the use of incorrect words. It made my brain hurt after 3 sentences.

Yes, my English sucks, plus I'm on a phone so I can't be arsed proof read either. Still, your loss. I did justnre read and its not that hard. Another problem with society, not giving people with a lesser abity in areas a chance and prefer to label/mock them. No love left in western societies, non what so ever! English like all other languages based on Latin are evil by design anyways, based on the Vatican's Latin! If you want know evil all you have to do is look into the Vatican and how its the main head of the Medusa. State of London, state of Washington DC, state of Israel are a few others. Devils language

Anyways, back on topic, who's still got a monarch that asnt blown up, leaked or under performs? Lol

No offense, but doesn't that sentence kinda demonstrate both the excess and laziness of Western society that you're so vehemently condemning? I label and mock people (well, Americans at least) with lesser abilities in written communication because the primary excuse is laziness and not caring to take full advantage of the more-than-decade of free education most of us are given. Gotta be careful on public Internet forums though because people come here from all over and don't always get twelve years of "here's how to do English right" handed to them on a silver platter. I have no respect for the lazy - more specifically, for the deliberately stupid. And there are a lot of them in America.

Also, no respect for greedy scamming bastards. Like, it seems, the guys at BFL. I don't own a Monarch. Should get one for the museum one of these days though.

I'd agree with everything you said there. I am lazy yes. Never said I wasn't at any point. I know my flaws and that's for me to deal with, as yours and others are. But if you can't separate thought from your body you are not understanding the purpose of it. Its easy to accuse some one of being x y and z, or point the blame at someone but to truely understand your surrounding and others you have to 'think out the box' per say. I'm the biggest hippocrit going in some ways but realising that leads to better understanding of many aspects of life and others. Critism isn't a bad thing, it should be welcomed but people today are weak and can't handle it. Water off a ducks back to me and I take all comments on board. I'm an hard worker when needed but I'm lazy for sure. Again, its the environment that's been created that I've spent most of my life in that as allowed me to get away with it. I don't play the blame game though as that just leads to hatred for others. Not a good thing at all. What's done is done and I look at the cause and not the cure. You don't need a a cure if you know the cause ;-)

Least the monarchs arnt setting on fire like the black arrows I suppose lol. They are truely dangerous for peoples health! Surenthey arnt FCC approved either haha

For BFL Monarch, I added experimental underclocking support to cgminer.

Example Usage: the following sets the clock frequency to max (1x), voltage at 580mV.

# cgminer --bflsc-volt=4 --bflsc-clock=16

Refer to BFL documentation for voltage levels, but please note I shifted the index by one; I needed '0' to mean 'do-nothing'. IE: the '16' above = 'F" in BFL docs.

As a safety precaution, cgminer will not initialize / use a Monarch unless the voltage and clock are set successfully. IE: a hotplug or power interruption will restore the voltage/clock settings to a Monarch before mining commences.

The patch below is against cgminer commit 8b425ed545d64f3007c6a7b2b70910efec65a7ea.

Hi guys

can somebody help me get my Monarch running, ive been trying all day and i cant get it to work.

When i run BFG miner i get the following error:

"lowl_pci_open_vfio: Failed to open /dev/vfio/vfio" continuously

Im running the Monarch in my Ubuntu 15.10 PC using PCI Express, with BFG Miner 5.10

The BFL setup document says that i dont need PCIE drivers under Linux.

Can anybody point me what to do ?

*Edit, i think i got it working, i reseated the card then ran the UIO setup command in BFGminers Readme.ASIC
just need to see after a few hours if it works right.

Getting 87% invalid shares @ 676 difficulty. Using BFGMiner 5.2.0

Does anybody know why ? Sad

BFGminer says the shares are accepted, and the error rate is low (1%) but when i check the pool stats my invalid share % is over 85%. It does seem to be dropping very slowly, but not sure.

Thanks man, ive sent him a message.

Ive had some progress thanks to help from people here. The card is working, its got some issues with I think are related to the version of BFGMiner im using.

The card i have is the 725GH version, it mines at around 740GH but it needs a lot of airflow it seems.

I tried underclocking it using the settings from butterfly labs PDF, adding the settings "--set bfl:_cmd1=F0D --set bfl:_cmd1=V5X" gives a "Failed to open /dev/vfio/vfio" , but if i then try and run bfgminer again afterwards without the extra commands it seems to work with the previous settings. Hashes around 660GH with a massive temperature drop from 70C to 51C.

Im guessing if i had to power cycle the card it would revert back to stock settings.

I swear if I am ever in the area of the BFL former corp I'm gonna piss in their parking lot and post a pic here Smiley

I'm still pissed and I got a refund. (Then again had victim guilt and felt like an idiot for 1 year and 20 days and got lucky and was refunded because FTC was a coming)

Perhaps it is Surviver's Guilt because I got DAMN LUCKY Sad

More likely (if anyone wants to look) it was Josh Z. in BFL chat FLAT OUT lying when the court documents showed at the same time he knew they would be months late

after August of 2013.

Where is the guy on here that kept saying if he ever saw him, he'd punch him in the dick and post a picture (man I miss you or I should say I want such a pic yet)

anyway just got to let this go I guess, but man what a bunch of pricks
