What could be better than getting up @ 3am to see how much you made during the night?
I love this shizzle!
Gox @ 227, XBT @ 212....  
Just reached 50% return, day 19
But according to Croppo, they aren't worth a dime.....
I better just give up then....
Hahahahahaha

Where did I said that BTC did not worth a dime?

he meant the miner, dingus.

Where did I said that people efforts to obtain profit from a Bitcoin "miner" did not worth the investment?

I am start to realize there is a cognitive dissonance going on here...

0.98.1 any time now...
hoping for another "1.21 GigaWatts..."
as Doc Brown would say...  
I've had entirely too much coffee for it to be 430am...... oops...lol

You need a klaxon and rotating orange light every time you get a payout.

Congrats Phoenix! I am at USD break even in one more day!  I've made 32 BTC with my jup.  One more month(ish) to break even in BTC terms using the exponential difficulty estimates I have been using.

Edit - Looks like I am USD break even today based on coinbase price.

chrono, when did you receive your miner?

October 4th

Okay... update...

After two hours of messing about... I got the board that needs to be hot at a stable 73c, but it now shows 'FAULT' on one of the VRMs.
Even with the fault, the miner is showing 260GH/s average on CGMINER and 244GH/s on the pools side, both of which are slowly climbing. My 5s averages at around 271gh/s - 302gh/s.
I'm much happier with the speed now, but worried about that 'FAULT' on one of the VRMs.

What do you guys think?

Also, my Device Rejected rate and Pool Rejected rate has shot up from around 0.27% to now over 5%.




EDIT: Thanks Searing for the suggestion, but that is the first thing I did when I got my Miner. Keeping the temp cool isn't my problem. My problem was to actually heat it up. My miner normally ran at around 45c on one board, ad 48c on the other board. Now I have them at 65.5c on one board, and 73.5c on the other board. Never seen it run better then now. Just hoping to keep that stable.

Same here with "Fault 4" with a VRM. Tha asic went very well up to 0 Cores OFF and about 75°C....but since 3 days...this vrm pulls more and more amps as much more i have more temps. now the asic can run only about 65 °C because the vrm at max 50.2 AMP...over that temps tha VRM pushes more and it get the message in red "fault 4"

P.S. i had VRMS in a Saturn that worked with 58,8 AMPS very well.


What does the "Fault 4" state exactly mean?

Hi,

Fault 4 means "overtemperature".

Try adding some small RAM heatsinks on the top of the DC/DCs.

Also check the front fans and ambiant temperature.

PS: This fault code activates when then DC/DC converter exceeds 130'C. It will shut down at 145'C. It is not OK to continue running your miner that hot !

73'C for the board temperature is a lot too. You are stressing the components.

Hi Uski,

i have allready heatsinks on it since the first mining day. But i don't belive that there are 130°C at this VRM. I think it is faulty.

Do anyone know how to use an other of the 4 unsed VRMS instead? i have boards with 8 vrms but as we know only 4 are used of them.

Just reached 50% return, day 19

And with tomorrow's 40% difficulty increase, the next 50% is going to take more than 47 days assuming no more difficulty increases (which isn't realistic). Your break even point is many months from now, if ever.

I just had to post a picture of this 2.3 Billion difficulty share I had this morning.

We shall see about that..

Bitcoin is called cryptocurrency for a reason... it IS currency, digital or not.

Just because people use misnomers like "miner" or "cyrptocurrency" it NOT means it work like a real miner or a real currency. BTC is not used by the primary or secondary economic sector of any country. BTC do not have intrinsic value and cannot exist outside the bounds of the Internet. The value of each BTC arise from the fact that people is transferring monetary value from one point to another. If BTC are not used to transfer fiat money from here to there, it will serve to NOTHING and thus it will have NO VALUE whatsoever.

Now, this is completely different to say that a "miner" do not worth a dime. Care to explain what the value of a "miner" has anything to do with the fact that BTC is not a currency?

Please don't get offended... Discussion is all. I did mean BTC BTW

I am not offended and you are entitled to disagree with my opinion. I am just surprised with the confusion that is going on about what exactly Bitcoin and BTC means for some people here.

Nice! Bitminter by any chance? A high entry like that so early in their race would be funny. Also good chance of bonus jupiter for you   (personally not there).

Holy Crap!  You should get at least 5 blocks for a share like that!

I never mentioned the "Value of a miner"
and what you call fact, is actually an opinion.
Other than value, there is only one difference between BTC, and any other Currency(or whatever you want to call it) It's not printed on a worthless scrap of paper for you to hand off to a merchant... That's the only difference I see, other than the non-banking & non centralized control, etc... benefits of btc... which is why global adaptation is going to sweep the masses imho

Made 25 Btc now with 2 Jupiters. Not even halfway there because 2 units came around 16th and 19th and one is still lost in transport. Great to know that some have already made back their money! Please keep it to yourself.
Btw: Best Share   1,487,394,728   Found my first block today =)

Sadly, no. I thought about mining solo a few hours before I found it.... Bad luck I guess.....

I really like that idea...   admittedly....
Wonder if Cklovas could add a little
Cha-Ching... cash register sound to cgminer when blocks are found..

or wizkid on eligius...
