Not sure if my math is completely accurate but let's say you have a Jupiter hashing at 500GH/s.  You spend an hour one day trying to get a few more GH out of it.  It's like you were hashing at ~480GH/s for that 24 hour period because of the downtime.  And if you do this multiple times every week, just how much are you actually benefiting in the end?  It seems like a lot of people are wasting valuable hashing time putzing around (as difficulty skyrockets) when they'd be better off just letting the damn things mine at a slightly lower speed.

Just sayin'.

This is what keeps happening to me. I keep trying to use Eligius pool but their payout schedule and information is so vague you need to be a scientist to just figure out what you are going to get paid. I went back to BTCGuild, since at least it clearly informs you of what you are earning, can get manual payout with a press of a button and has 24 hour makings. Eligius doesn't have any of that, at least I don't think because they are buried pages somewhere with obscure links on another page you need to get to. I think the Eligius pool is pretty sharp, but it needs a shit load of work and refinement....and I get completely sick of seeing the donation link on EVERY page I go to on that site. Yea, I get it. It was your decision to put up this cool mining pool, but no one forced you at gun point, stop asking for money. If you don't have the time or resources, take it down then. Simple.

They ask for donations because they don't charge a fee.  (I initially thought they collected mining fees, but that seems to have changed).  You get paid 100% on your hashrate. I agree the payout queue thing is a bit confusing, but you should get paid eventually.

Eligius's graphs are by far the best for monitoring your hashrate.  Once things are stable, though I like going back to BTCGuild.

Well KNC is going to be getting another phone call from me today.

I like having a mining pool that's completely free, charges no fees, and works. If that means they have to ask for donations on every web page to keep the doors open, I'm fine with that.

Yes, the payout schedule is complicated. The complexity is needed to ensure the pool is fair to everyone. My advice -- don't worry about it. Just watch your hash rate to make sure your equipment is working. If the payouts were somehow cheating people, lots of other people who love to do the math and check them would be complaining quite loudly.

Yea, the graphs and things are cool like I said, but having no idea when I would be getting paid or what my 24 hour return is (if I'm making money or not) is a weird way to hash. At least with BTC they show you right on your stats page what you are making within a 24hour period, payout info, all the necessary info there is. Eligius is more of a guess right now, no? Also, if I wanted a manual payout with Eligius I can't because they don't have it. Bitcoin raised up to $201 yesterday and I wanted to sell a few bitcoin so I did a manual payout with BTCGuild, could I have done that with Eligius or would I have to wait 3 weeks until their payout schedule catches up or whatever? Yea, confusing at the least. I guess that's where the BTC fee comes in. You are furnished with all the appropriate information almost on one page.

Damn, dude, who pissed in your wheaties today?

Seriously, though, tiresome or not, you have done a lot for this community. Hopefully KnC reads your data (and the other brave souls who have experimented and done the dev work for these units) and incorporates YOUR research in their next batch of miners. Should resolve a lot of issues with what appear to be minor tweaks to the design/case layout.

I also hope that they throw some coin at all you early adopters who stuck your dick out and came out longer. Because of you lot, by the time I can buy one of these units, a lot of problems will already be resolved.

Thank you.

put it this way, even if someone did go off a limb and post something that didn't turn out to be 100% cause/effect, it usually will lead to someone else who is also testing to share and get to the right reasoning

but those that want to just play 'peer review asshole', well you see what that does to the soup

 

Yes, I do. High noise to signal. To be fair, I thought you had posted that as well, till I looked back. I know shit about the BBB, having first heard of it with this thread. But I have seen stranger things happen, so I didn't discount it anyway. My time on bitcointalk has shown me a couple of things. One, there are some amazingly smart people involved in this experiment, and two, that doesn't do anything to discourage the morons. I don't know that there is anything short of death that discourages morons, and death has little effect since they are interchangeable and common.

You can compute the 24 hour return from the hash rate on any mining profitability calculator. I agree that seeing an estimate would be handy.

At least with BTC they show you right on your stats page what you are making within a 24hour period, payout info, all the necessary info there is. Eligius is more of a guess right now, no?

Yes, because it depends on the pool's luck.

Also, if I wanted a manual payout with Eligius I can't because they don't have it. Bitcoin raised up to $201 yesterday and I wanted to sell a few bitcoin so I did a manual payout with BTCGuild, could I have done that with Eligius or would I have to wait 3 weeks until their payout schedule catches up or whatever?

Eligius already pays you the maximum amount that is fair as soon as possible, with the exception of avoiding very small payments because they just make spending expensive. You cannot make it faster because it is already as fast as it can be. Revenue from blocks found is paid out as soon as it is earned by the pool, typically at the precise same instant.

you just 25*(Hashrate/2^32)/difficulty  (that's per second)

You get 25 bitcoins in a block
in order to find a block, you need to hash (on average) n diff1 shares, where n is the difficulty
in order to find a diff1 share, you need to calculate (on average) 2^32  hashes.  

2^32 = the number of bytes in a 4 gigabytes.

Alternatively, you can just go look at the PPS rate on btcguild, and assume you'll be getting a few % more then that.

Yeah Right, your just saying that for the Attention.   ;-)

Good luck with it.

My replacement Boards (x 3) are expect at my house later today.

[Crypto_Cumbrian]

Got my Three replacement Boards for my underperforming Juipter.

Previously I had around 400Gh/s average (360Gh/s at BTC-Guild) over 25% HW errors.

Now

Average 540Gh/s (5sec Shows peaks of over 600Gh/s), BTC-Guild showing 507Gh/s.

Running 0.95 (will let it burn in for 24 hours).

*Noticed new boards all still Rev1. But had Labels on them all marked as G  (don't know what that indicates if anything).

bertmod Show all cores on all dies 100%.


Using Chill Factor 3 Thermal paste.

Will update tomorrow after 24hrs.

Miners should be sold with the warning,

You can never get all your Bitcoins back. Hoarding is safe and bitcoin deflation pays you better returns.

Sigh.

so I guess we should all just unplug & give up then, rats.

Firmware?
did you do enablecores?
vrm test?
Have you followed any of the steps?

[eurgbp2011]

v0.97 yes
enabledcores yes
what is VRM?
and how to test VRM?
