Has anyone got the Blue Fury working with Bitminter client yet?

I just get this

2013.11.08 [14:12] Probing all ports for external devices
2013.11.08 [14:12] Probe of port COM18 failed: timeout
2013.11.08 [14:12] No external devices detected.
2013.11.08 [14:12] Probe of port COM17 failed: timeout

My red fury has the same problem.

I am quite frustrated 2 pc's 2 mac's 4 or 5 hubs and 15 hours later zip.

I finally got them working with bfgminer 3.5.1 (it was a no go on any earlier version)

In fact I would consider making it second prize in the Nov. contest. Since I just can't keep spending time on it. My coding skills are so so.

This pool is great, but I feel like the Terra Hash and its minig pool competitors out weigh by a lot.

Also, "name coin" is pretty useless. If it were LTC, that would be a different story.

Namecoin merged-mining is "free" - it uses the same proof of work as Bitcoin (SHA256) and the nodes are designed to accept blocks merge-mined on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. This would be impossible with LTC. You would need a whole different pool.

NMC is just a tad bit extra income - you're free to donate it all to the pool.

I wonder how hard it would be to add / change that.

It's impossible,
BTC & NMC use 'sha256' hash and LTC uses 'scrypt' hash

Lazy Lurker Reads Alot

Quote

I found out that when I exceeded 125 sticks cpu use went nuts and the 125th stick read endless errors. not sure if the pc or bitminter software is the issue. windows 7 has a 127 usb device limit for 1 controller. this pc has a 5 port pcie usb card with a second controller so I should be able to go to 240 sticks or even 250. So when I got past the 127 device limit the cpu went nuts and the last stick added com284 just read endless errors. in the photo below it is at 6000 and change and counting up really fast

This is a controller limit not a port limit as i understood it, the max is system wide 127 however this number is theoretical.
In reality each usb device connected takes one device slot, so in my view you loose 2 devices for the controller leaving you with 125 devices to connect.
I did not check if the hubs are seen as shared devices

I am not sure if the professional hardware solutions which you can buy can run more but those are very expenssive and contain very good components, but if they are just loaders or can run devices like needed for mining is not clear to me.

Is there any reason why a couple of payouts from Bitminter over the last few days would be still stuck at "still not confirmed...seen by 4 peers" and everything else is been accounted for?

Thanks.

Have been mining at BitMinter for a few months, this is the first time I see this:
http://blockchain.info/tx/92db8a629280b8aa782254dbf932155168f9314fd07338d5b2586b3545443698
A payment which has not confirmed in quite a few hours. Why ?

That transaction contains no fees, so it is considered low-priority by the network. It will eventually be confirmed.

Is there a way to add a fee now, so that it does not linger in limbo ?

Theoretically, the sender could rebroadcast it with a fee, or a recipient can broadcast a transaction spending it with a fee to cover both transactions.
There's no easy way to do this with a GUI, though...

Is children-pays-for-parent already in place?

Some miners run it.

We need some more hash power.

The Bitminter hashrate is falling behind the BTC/USD exchange rate.

Well I keep ordering it - eventually some of it is sure to actually arrive.

Shipped! Woo-hoo!

Hmmm. Interesting. I realize that rewriting the blockchain is out of the question, but say, offering a 10mBTC for processing it via an escrow service ? First miner to include it in an accepted block takes the reward ?

The bulk of the network hashrate is generated by pools; you'd have to convince at least one pool operator to 'manually' add that transaction in.

While your idea is sound in theory, I'm not sure many operators would expend the effort for $3. After all, most are already getting 0.25 to 0.5 BTC per solved block simply through their regular pool fees with no effort on their part; an extra 0.01 BTC seems insignificant compared to that.

Just be patient; it will be included sooner or later; the longer it sits in 'limbo', the higher its priority gets. Eventually someone will include it even though there is no fee in there. By the time you contact someone and persuade them to include it in a future block, it will likely have already been confirmed.

Not unless you can rewrite the blockchain from that point forward.

It will be included very soon, the input is large (25 BTC), so it's priority rises very fast. It's stuck because there's a sort of congestion in the network.
Don't worry.
