[4+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); Overt AsicBoost; World First Mining Pool

[bspurloc]

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.

Slush:

slush doesn't allow for manual changing of the diff, is that in the S4's gui???

[bspurloc]

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...

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

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.

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

http://www.coindesk.com/hackers-hijack-retailers-showroom-pcs-cryptocurrency-mining/

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.

You could not be more wrong!

What a lovely 3 minute block.
Did I hear the word invalid mentioned?

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

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.

When were you testing? Slush uses a score based algorithm to deter poolhopping that weighs each share based on when it was submitted. Shares near the start of a block are worth less than shares near the end.

You don't say when you started and stopped.  Shares on Slush lose value rapidly, so that old shares become worthless after a while.  If you ran your test in the middle of the recent long round, then your reward would have petered out to zero pretty quickly.  It's to discourage pool hoppers.  If you tell us the timing of your test, and the number of shares credited to you, somebody will be able to give you a more definitive answer.  BTCguild operates a different scoring system, and I have never used the Evil Empire so I don't know how they work.

One hour is hardly a fair test of any pool.  You need to give it at least 24 hours - preferably considerably longer.  Try running all three pools evenly balanced for perhaps 3-4 days and compare your earnings.  Over the last 72 hours or so, my earnings from Slush and BTCguild have been more or less the same for roughly the same hashing power.

I use the benchmark test in this link for reference.  I have miners here and BTCguild. My neice has 1050ghs over at the dark side(she has a miner that doesn't preform well at most other pools). I can tell you those pools in that link do better than ghash almost every month. I guess due to ghash having a lot of down time and orphans? You have to look over time to really compare.

I will also recommend that you devide your hashrate between at least 2 different pools. It's called Variance. I keep 80% here and 20% at BTCguild. That way if one pool is having bad luck the other May be doing good. A hash is a hash. Don't keep all your eggs in one basket.

I have 3 Tubes (from the same family) pointed here using the Tube controller. All are performing fine in the 850 to 900 range at a 290 clock.

It's not called variance, it's called load balancing. Variance is something completely different to what you describe.

I looked through your benchmark link but it doesn't contain any data for slush's pool =( I'm guessing the best thing to do is to load balance all 3 pools simultaneously (slush, btcguild, ghash) and share my hashes evenly, since it's all based on luck.

Edit: getting a piece of a pie is better then getting no pie i assume. This way I am guarantee 3 pie pieces, instead of hoping for 1 big pie or no pie at all.

I have 2 prisma's on the way as soon as up will report I will be using a rasp pi with new cgminer so should not have any of the problems with certain pools the BE controller had with the tubes (btw those problems were not on Slush's pool) as far as data from those that are running 1400-1440 gh/s at about 1200 w from the wall is what most are seeing

[wasikidding]

In other news if you happen to have some hash at ck's solo pool you may wanna check your wallet as a block was found last night

[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...

Minersource sells them individually. the 60 min is from Bitmain (and at that quantity they are only $56 each) They are supposedly shipping with a power brick but without the power cord for the brick.
