Going to go tinker some more now so I'll have to stop the binary but figured I should post an update. My HW errors remained much lower while hashrate remained solid. Having discussed with hno (the primary dev on the original driver code), we may revise the hashrate meter further.

Thank you for your time on this all of us on the forum appreciate your efforts..and as a non-coder I find the process fascinating...keep up the good work.....again thanks a lot.

^^ All my ASICs have been mining PPC.. by the end of the year I should bring a couple TH/s to that network.

how has that been working for you?  I was thinking about solo mining ppc with my block erupters setup

No different than mining BTC. Just mine it when it's more profitable. I mined a little PPC against Coinotron (https://coinotron.com/coinotron/) yesterday from the hosted setup to test it. Worked fine. However, PPC is slightly less profitable than BTC at the moment,
As for BEs, they are set-up in my unattended front-end (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149442.0), which uses data from Coinchoose to switch to the most profitable coin at any given time

I'm weary of something utilizing an aggregator because its pulling data based off of small blip or activity in buy or sell orders....convince me otherwise and maybe I'll check it out

[Nemo1024]

Look at "Average profitability past 7 days" column. That's more accurate overall. Still my observation is that profitability of PPC is slightly higher after BTC diff increase, but then it corrects itself, ether though more miners switching to PPC or PPC price going down, or both.

Dumb question. Do I need to install all firmware updates in order, or can I just install the latest update and be sweet?

Thanks,

Received my Miner Mercury today, all going well so far.

Another silly question, what's the blue flashing light inside the case? It wasn't flashing when I first booted it for a while but now it's flashing constantly it seems?

0.96 (asic_test) and 0.97 has degraded performance for many people

Just look at the posts from people with KnC hosted jupiters who report a 150GH/s hash rate fall when 0.97 was released.

If your in hand unit iss working well, there is not compelling reason to switch to 0.96/7 if it is on 0.95

a lot of people have issues with dhl .I never got contacted by them.i contacted them after 3 days and they told me the next day by luck..also in my state in the Midwest they only have 1 place to pick it up the capital ...if you miss the truck guy (even with note) and they are "contract" drivers ie not DHL .they won't leave the package...according to a nice dhl rep they may feel they could get jam'd up by dhl so won't leave it....better safe then sorry take it back to the capital....

it is pretty rinky dink in the states ....so call this number talk to a rep....you may get a tracking number out of them at this point


phone is 1-800-225 5354 (I think) or check the www.dhl.com site

it took like 4 days to get to me by the by..my box was trashed had to be held together with two hands.but my miner works well..so the soggy box helped imho it was probably "hand carried" rather then tossed from Sweden

anyway just my experience call to play it safe...one other guy on here had no zip code and it was on its way back to Sweden another guy had another issue..so it saved my butt and 2 others so far that 1-800-225-5354 number..if I have the 800 number wrong google it

good luck

Just spoke to Anna. Apparently my miner left yesterday, but she couldn't find my tracking numbers, so she told me she will call DHL to find them and then send me an email.
Nervously waiting.

Well I just upgraded firmware and it's falling from 70g to 50g, not happy. I can't find Firmware 95 to re-instate it. I'll keep looking.

Thanks,

Managed to find the link it had a space too many in it. Hashrate still decreasing though.

Any thoughts? New Mercury with .95 firmware.

where is the 0.98

I bumped my to .97  I did actually experience issues the first time ever today...dropping hashrate...interface would freeze up when trying to connect to it....I tried everything I could...what seemed to fix it was when i disconnected my asic board from the controller board (everything off!)  then connected it to another port.  I dont know if my port is shot, I don't really care though my shit is working and I don't want to fidangle it until difficulty is at 10 billion or higher.  It was clear skys before and now it seems to be hashing really strong at 148 but it was at 135-145 before all that happened today.

Hey guys,

I believe KnC Updated the Firmware in their hosted units.

It's looking like my Jupiters are getting 600gh+ (650gh on some and 700gh on one)

I'll need more time to see if this is variation but it looks like this new firmware could be a massive increase in hashrate.

Wanted to know if anyone is experiencing similar with their hosted units.

(The update appears to have happened in the past hour)

My hosted units have gone up and down a few times in the past few hours.  The portal hashrate and the pool rates don't match very well at all.  

Did you see the increase in the pool or the portal?  My portal graph seems pretty stable (some a bit up and some a bit down)

Due to the stops and starts, can't get a good read from Elegius yet.

That's bad, being on 1st name terms with support people before the thing even gets into your hands.
