Forgot a step....
Change pools - start hashing into  your own accounts instead of Daves

Haha, I wonder if there is anyone who forgot that step.

Just got my starter kit this morning and got it set up (order #89). Just a single H-board, no EOL. Reported noncerate is 26.872GH/s and 25.483GH/s on the pool. It's only been running for about 10 minutes, so I will update later after it has been running for a few hours.

I am very happy with Bitfury and MegaBigPower. Great job to everyone involved.

Is anyone else having trouble getting your pool (BTC Guild in my case) to report the same or near the same hashrate as the bitfury admin page displays?

My admin page is always just around 26Ghs while my BTC Guild dashboard has been showing 18Ghs over the last hour.

I suspect this has something to do with the difficulty warning on the admin page, but I've tried, 32, 64, and 128 and none have increase my speed.

    You were put diff too high your hash drop low but I didnt have problem BTCGuild for on day.

I had that problem for a few hours on Slash's pool.
All I did was clicked Stop Miner and then Start Miner.. since then it's been running fine. So not really sure what was the cause.

I'll try that.

What difficulty are people using for 1 H-Board?

The warning says 32 - 512, so I would assume 32 for 1 H-Board?

 Hash rate in Gh/s / 1.6, then rounded down to nearest power of two.   For one h-board = 8.  The warning is for a full kit, I think...

My August kit just arrived at my door! Order #108.

I think I'm feeling a bit ill at work. Time to go home and rest up.

Feel better man!

[Trongersoll]

Must be somebody over Jersey way that could help him out...  Setting up the Bitfury is fun.  Connect three parts together, hook up the PSU, start hashing...

Change pools - start hashing for your account instead of Daves

I'll get it done. I just need to get started.

• First, dig out unused 16 port 1G Ethernet Switch
• Then get switch setup and working
• Slide Guest Bed out of the way so that i can access the dresser top where the miner will live.
• Run Ethernet cable to the location
• Unbox Bitfury and set it up.
• Unbox and Plug in new UPS for this miner.
• Unbox new monitor for this set up and unpackage keyboard and mouse.
• Plug everything in and pray it all works
• Configure for my Slush account.

Sure, nothing to it...  

I think I'll go get lunch first.

I just noticed my noncerate dropped to 0 for no reason.  I just restarted the miner and it's running again.  I've only had it running for about 2 days...  does it mean it's not stable?

I would also like to add that this happened when I started noticing my slush Mhash showing a much slower rater than my noncerate.  Noncerate was ~25, slush showed ~11

I'm giving the forum about 5 minutes every 4 hours this weekend.  My family hasn't seen me for weeks and my wife would like me to be around a little bit while I'm home.

One liner: Full kit orders will go out Monday/Tuesday.  Starters will not go out because we ran out of M-boards.  There was a delay two weeks ago at the factory (ran out of connectors) that we are now feeling at this end.  I will compensate starter kit buyers with equivalent coin for this delay.  More details to follow.  Your starter kits begin mining for you tonight...

It is time to hire a little buzzdave to do 50% of your work or maybe 100% of your work so you can expand a little further...

Keep up the competition guys! ALWAYS MEET THE GOAL/DEADLINE... It is the only thing that is important in this field as of right now...

He'll be fine.  This kind of illness is easily - and almost instantly - cured by unboxing a recent Bitfury delivery. There's something very potent in those green styrofoam peanuts.  Just dig around in them for a minute, and you'll be good as new...

This dropped my Gh/s down to 9...

Also, my accepted is at 99.5+ %

Of course it did.  Watch it over the next hour.  Do you have all three of your pool entries pointed to BTCGuild with different worker numbers for each?

I noticed that the performance seems to degrade over time.

I added the following line to /etc/crontab on the raspberry pi unit:
*/15 * * * * root /opt/bitfury/start-miner.sh

This restarts the miner software every 15 minutes. Since then the performance is rather stable. Probably some of the chips get stuck and need to be re-initialized once in a while?

Got my kit up and running. Getting 24.895Gh/s after running for 30 minutes. I'm connected to the Bitminter pool.

EDIT: After an hour, it's up to 25.29Gh/s.

My estimated average speed over the past 45mns is 4.5 Ghs....

Different worker numbers? I should be setting up 3 separate workers?

What difficulty are you using?

[jc328]

Was floating at around 200 gh/s but am constantly at 80 now.  Seems a good restart fixed it back up to speed now.

This is why i have no problem dumping my hard earning money into your store. Awesome customer support dave, thanks!

Possibly.  My hash rate has dropped back to 0 again.  Tried stop/start miner but no luck.  I'm going to reboot the rpi and see what happens.

EDIT:

There is something screwd up here:

root@bitfury:/opt/bitfury# ./start-miner-console.sh
INIT: 0 chips detected
./start-miner-console.sh: line 1:  6087 Floating point exception/opt/bitfury/chainminer/miner

THANK YOU. I had no idea I had to create 3 separate workers. Getting 25ghs now.

You don't absolutely have to, but it seems to work out better...
