EXACTLY!!!

At least you're getting some entertainment...

[dmwardjr]

If you have EVERYONE's CPU on the guild that COULD be a lot of hashing power if combined.  

No it wouldn't. Please check your numbers. 10,000 of the most powerful CPUs today amount to about one S3 which is 440GH. For a pool with 13,000,000 GH, do you honestly think the pool operator would risk his reputation for that much more?

What I'm mentioning is NOT to continue accusations.  What I'm mentioning is merely to prove a point.

MacBook Pro 17" Early 2011

2.2 GHz Intel Quad Core i7; meaning 2.2 GHz x 4 cores = 8.8 GHz

450 divided by 8.8 = 51.14 MacBook Pro 17" with i7 2.2 GHz Quad Core chips

Most PC's and Mac's today I would say average around 2.2 GHz x 4 for 8.8 GHz but we will use my 2011 model Mac to be conservative.  If you had 10,000 computers with 8.8 GHz average, that would be equivalent to 195.5 S3's; NOT ONE as you say.  Also, if it took 10,000 CPU's to equal 1 S3, you would be saying EACH AND EVERY CPU in each and every computer [10,000 computers] is less than a quarter (.25 cents)!  That is FAR from the truth.  


BM1382 has achieved 15.75 Gh/s in hash performance in each chip:

BitMain BM1382 chip specifications:
- Process Node: 28nm
– Package Type: FCQFN-56
– Packaged Chip Size: 8mm x 8mm
– Number of Cores: 63
– Core Voltage: 0.75 V
– Core Frequency: 250 MHz
– Hash Rate: 15.75 GH/s

      250,000,000  Hz (250 MHz) - Core Frequency
    x              63       Cores (processors)
  15,750,000,000 Hash Rate

multiplied by 28 [63 core processors] = 450,000,000,000 (450GB) Total Hash Rate

The new Bitmain Antminer U3 uses four (4) 1382 chips [4 x 15.75GH] for a total of 63 GH/s

Also, if it took 10,000 computers, as you say, why would hackers even bother hacking these retail stores for dismal profits from mining?  The reason is because it does not take 10,000 computers to make one S3.  It only takes approximately 50 computers to make one S3 but that is being conservative.  It may only take about 48 computers.

I challenge anyone with a PC that has a QUAD CORE PROCESSOR to mine with their CPU for an hour then multiply their hourly average hash rate x 51 and see if it is somewhat close to one S3.  Well, you might have to multiply it by 58 cause Slush always shows a little slower than what my rigs say.

You might see you have to multiply times close to 200 to get close to 450GH/s.  If that's the case, then it takes approximately 200 to equal 1 S3.

[cowchaser]

My S4 is not performing as expected. I only see 1800 - 1900 Gh/sec hourly ratings on Slush so far.
Have been checking the average for the last couple of days but can't see any improvement.

I tried minimum difficulty at 2048 and 2250. No real difference.

Anyone seeing similar behavior ?

The funny thing is that on the S4 internal stats page I currently see like an average mining speed of 2002.39 Gh/s over the last 3 days.

Hi Cowchaser,

Have you installed the latest S4 firmware from the bitmain site:

  https://bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=00720140930114518599JXGHWWD80660

and the latest S4-specific cgminer update from ckolivas:

  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=796839.msg9242133#msg9242133

Also remember that hashrates on Slush's pool seem to improve the longer you hash, so your hashrate may take 2 - 10 hours to reach the value its going to settle at.

thanks,

You really ought to test out that hypothesis yourself before spouting off such utter tripe on here. You do know of course a Ghz is in no way comparable to GH/s.

Actually, since I'm feeling kind I'll give you the answer and save you some time and give you the (rough) hashing results using all cores.

4x Opteron 6174's will crank out around 115Mhash/s (while chewing over 300 watts), an Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition will do a whopping 2.9Mhash/s!!  But you're also aware that's the exact reason people switched to GPU's right? where the 5830 would do 270-330 Mhash/s 5850 was around the 400 range.

A general purpose CPU cannot output one doubleSHA256 hash per clock cycle. GHz != GH/s. That's the whole reason that we use specialized ASICs. An i5-2500k will get ~20MH/s or so (at 4GHz I believe, though I haven't tried in years). You could have 100,000 people looking at your page and hashing for you, and it would equal about the power of a single Bitmain S4. Probably less, since the average processor is likely less powerful across a sample of 100,000 users.

^^^^ Guys, wasted breath there, someone forgot to take their tablets on time (this thread is littered with that kind of twaddle from them)!

[bspurloc]

It seems no one cares to TRY to explain HOW the guild would use 99% of my CPU when I would navigate to the website?

It doesn't do it anymore, and probably never will again.

Oh well.

One runaway javascript on the web page would be enough to do it. Why does this need to be explained, and especially on the slush pool thread?

cuz the slush pool thread isnt about helping people on the slush pool.
 it's now a chat area and wah wah long blocks wah wah long blocks...

[kcal63]

Well first, yes I should have posted more info/specs about my error issue. It was across all of my miners, BTCGardens, Rockminers, and Bitmain.I found the problem a bad cable.

Second< I will post more info on the Bitmain U3's as soon as mine arrive, I orderd 2 of them a while ago and they have an expected delivery date of Nov 17 as of now. (I know they are money losing miners but so cute I had to have a couple  )

Third. Does anyone have a Prisma miner up and running on Slush's yet? Wondering about performance, particularly when connected to Slush's pool.

how did you order 2 when they had the min at 60? and now 20?
They dont really explain how to power them too...

[pekatete]

Check your facts, infact slush NOW allows manual setting of diff.

[Sir Alan]

Check your facts, infact slush NOW allows manual setting of diff.

Or, to be strictly accurate, manual setting of minimum diff - the pool may then set it higher automatically.  BTCguild has done the same.

I have set my S3+s to minimum 256 on both pools (balanced 50/50) and that achieves a higher perceived hash rate on both than does 128.

It is possible that your internet connection is throttling the throughput; for instance, if you are using wifi rather than an ethernet cable to connect to your router you may well see a lower figure; an ADSL connection down a phone line is likely to be slower than cable broadband;  peak network usage may also slow things down at certain times of day.  I have seen all of these play havoc with my own stats.

There's already another block built on them, so it's extremely unlikely we'll get an orphan here.

[pikachuy]

Any advise/information people? I ran slush's pool for 1 hour to test, but I don't see any kind of compensation? I did the same for BTCguild and Ghash and they both compensated my time for the 1 hour test on the their pools, as I can see it on my account. Any clue of why my account with Slush doesn't show any kind compensation? I see on my slush account it was hashing at 2th/s for 60 mins. Any help/information would be appreciated. Thanks.
