Okay your stratum proxy is a translator, it speaks stratum on 3333 and getwork on 8332, your cube speaks getwork. So proxy talks to pool on 3333 translates it to getwork on 8332, cube talks to 8332 locally.

I've created a Windows only program that monitors the BitMinter pool and workers if you have the perk set to get an API also it has Bitcoin Network Hash rate and Block Information.
I'm looking for people to be beta testers of it. Anyone who wants to download it and use it is fine. It's just a work in progress that I'm slowly adding other pools to while I'm learning more about Bitcoin and also programming in general. I've created the program really for myself to learn programming with. I've always been told to practice with writing small programs but I really can't do a bunch of hangman games and figure this would be better for me in my learning.

I started it's own Topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=567282.0

Here is a link to the website where it can be downloaded.

http://betadays.com/apps/bitchecker-beta/

I've slowly been adding things to it but as I've said it still in beta. You can use the Topic link above to leave questions / suggestions / ask for help etc. As long as I don't get to overwhelmed with all this I plan on working on it as I have time.

Thank you so much.
All the information was there. I was just looking at it wrong. lol

Hey guys

My buddy has this Antminer S1.. Is it doing any good..

The Asic status page has all x's instead of 0's..

How do I add a picture?  


Jim

Edit*

My buddy unplugged the unit for about 1 hour and everything seems to be ok now.

How do you add workers? I have two used the underscore to name them but they are both showing as worker 1.

Thanks

[ichtus27]

Pfff,  912th/s...
Less bitcoins to make for me so 2 choices.. faster hardware of stopping because of more electric bill and less earnings..
Thinking about the first option..

[Flashman]

More hash on pool means more blocks = more frequent payouts even if your split is smaller, should be a net gain. BUT more hash on network all the time = less blocks for pool.

So pool gaining hash is good for everyone that mines on it, especially when it's expanding faster than network.

Did you go "my account" -> "workers" in the website menu and add workers to the list there?

If you did that but the work still gets registered under the "1" worker then it's because you typed the worker names wrong. The "1" worker is set up as a default worker, so if you mine with only the user name or with a mistyped worker name it is registered on that worker. You can choose a different default worker if you want. Access the options for a worker on the workers page by clicking the gears icon. The "default" setting is the topmost one.

[Cheeseater]

Thanks, do you have to add them to the list or are they automatically recognized when i name them in Cgminer?

[Minor Miner]

time to change the subject again.   810 is behind us.

Add them to the list on the website first, then use them in cgminer.

Remember to put your username and an underscore in front of the worker name in cgminer. See explanation on the front page of bitminter.com

Example:

Code:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u Cheeseater_1 -p X

time to change the subject again.   810 is behind us.

1000 almost within reach

[DevonMiner]

1000 almost within reach

... It will happen Doc ... to see how the pool has risen over the last 30 days is a test to that.

[Minor Miner]

1000 almost within reach

Koi is pretty much finished with how much we can help.   We need some people who are tired of 3 months of bad luck at other pools to move on over.

Need folks opinion on PSU's....

I recently bought a Terraminer and the power draw from that thing is incredible.  I have to run it on two separate circuits otherwise it trips the circuit all the time.

I'd like another one, but not sure if running all the extension cords through the house will be acceptable to the wife....and it is a bit messy.

So, I am looking at adding some more S1's.  The question is do I get an 850W PSU to run two of them or a 1000W PSU?  I am thinking if I have 2 850PSU's running on one circuit I have less of a chance to tripping it then having two 1000W PSU's.

Any suggestions/thoughts?

Thanks,

John

They could actually draw more power on 2x850 vs 2x1000, the reason is, the PSUs have an efficiency curve that's lowest at about 50% load and gets steep over about 80% load ... so despite being say an 80% efficiency bronze rated  supply, you might only get 75% efficiency drawing 700W @ 12V on the 850 = 933 Watts at the wall, vs, 700W @ 85% efficiency on the 1000W = 824 watts at the wall.

However, if the choice is between a gold rated 850 and a bronze rated 1000, then it might be at least even.

It's actually not a net gain, it's a push.  The gain is your variance decreases, but that doesn't mean you make more (or less).

[Unacceptable]

I'm making about the same as on Eligius with my 1TH,BUT I FINALLY get a regular payout...EVERYDAY!!! 

Thanks Bitminter,sorry it took so long to jump from a sinking ship 

[Flashman]

It's actually not a net gain, it's a push.  The gain is your variance decreases, but that doesn't mean you make more (or less).

True I guess, if our variance didn't seem to only go one way... Which is what gets me thinking like that.

The power off you did does work to get rid of x's

 here is a link to an s-1 miner monitor program that auto boots if you get x's
