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

We need some more hash power.

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

I should be mining 2.4Ghs here soon.

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

Thinking past luck influences future luck is called gambler's fallacy. It does not work.

Yes, just like believing luck influences mining earnings. Over a long enough time period it statistically evens out. Fees and reliability are what influences earnings and Bitminter a great pool for both. That's why I stay here through the occasional "bad" day. Actually the best advice is not to look at the blocks page, set an auto payout and forget about it.



I fully agree, which is why I stayed. And if you do decide to look at the blocks page (it makes things more fun imo), you'll see that things have turned around in the short term, for me at least. But yes, I originally picked Bitminter because of their low fees and reputation for reliability. I also dig their live stats page.

btw any luck on getting the red/blue fury beta program working.  I get the same errors as the other posters on multiple machines and multiple hubs

Strangely my fury device runs perfectly on both my windows 7 and os x maverick machines. Haven't tried on Linux yet.

I'm not sure what the problem is.


Did those of you that have issues try running the sticks one by one without any hubs using different clients to eliminate possible faulty BF sticks?  
Also, on Windows, it is a good practice to clean up in the device list if you move your hubs and sticks around:

I will clean device list.

 I did try 2 pc's and 2 macs.

I finally setup 3x 49 port hubs each one has about 40 -42 sticks

Why are you shitting up the BitMinter pool thread with this off-topic bullshit?  

FFS!  This is not the place for it, you attention-starved dimwit!!  Keep your huge fucking pictures in the "Pictures of your Rig" thread, idiot.

While I agree that that post was somewhat off-topic, your language and stance, Henchman24, is not socially acceptable. Please be so kind as to use a more moderated form of language in your future posts. In general, be friendlier.  Wink

philipma1957, you are welcome to move your post to my topic discussing all the hub/USB related stuff: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/which-usb-hub-to-use-with-block-erupters-nanofury-nf1-bpmc-red-fury-ant-u1-253749 (It is also mentioned there that RPi has a 49-device limit).

You're right, of course.  I apologize for the language and tone.  It's just a pet peeve of mine.  Strikes the same nerve as the loudmouth that thinks everyone wants to hear his conversation.

DrHaribo, somewhere recently I thought I saw you post a link to the top miners on bitminter - but I can't find this link anywhere from the bitminter website.  Would you mind sharing it again?

Take it easy, this is supposed to be the civilized part of the forum.

Good to have a discussion on hubs. I wish those selling USB mining sticks would inform the buyers better about how to run multiple sticks. I'm getting a ton of support requests. I'm asking some of them to ask their questions here because I have no hands-on experience with the issue myself.

By the way, I can't reply to those who mistype their email address or use an anti-spam service that require me to type in things I don't know. If you didn't get a reply then try again and make sure you avoid those two issues.


thanks doc.  henchman24 had a point about too many photos so there are now 3 not 5.

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

USB does use CPU interrupts though, it's not DMA, so possibility of too many devices doing something odd. I would however suspect that external bus speed is more to do with it than CPU ooomph in this day and age, so possibly that could be something to look at.

   I will tell you what. I will remove the photo of the power used and I will remove 1 of the photos of the 3 rigs. But as for off topic the sticks run on bitminter and I am have pm's with long discussions of cpu use issue when a lot of sticks are used on one device while running bit minter so the shots that show the cpu jump and the triple hub setup will stay.
