I understand.  I'm almost at that same point.  Not even the 2 big pools.  I hate to consider leaving, but I'm in the market to mine bitcoins.  Since I do have Irish in me, I might just stick around to st patty's day. 

My wife has an old school superstition avoid changes on a Friday.

 So It is noon in New Jersey thus I will mine until midnight then bail.  

If I were an Irish- American instead of an Italian/Norwegian-American  I would stick this out until St Patrick's Day.


 when the 2 big pools do the steady payouts it is hard to stay on a small pool on a cold streak.

With 850 gh earning close to 63 usd a day I just can't afford to under earn that much cash.  I moved back  in the middle of the streak

 there had been the 75%  the 91% the and the 76 % had passed already.  

but back to back 96, 92  and now at least 97 are really hard.

  I really feel for someone that switched at the 75%  as he or she now has 5 bad and is on the 6th bad one.

Naw - only like 1.1 so far. I think I can absorb $3.75 in losses :-)

Really new - waiting until I got a beast of a miner before jumping in. Will be at 6TH/s within the next 5 weeks or so. Just want to get this all squared away before I start hitting bigger numbers. I think I might try setting up another wallet somewhere and get out of mmc-wallet. Thinking BTC-e.

Beyond painful. This streak of bad luck is reaching the point of being hard to wait out...

You're sure it's not already there? Try the lsusb command after plugging the devices in, to see if they are recognized. You can laso have a look at /dev/ttyUSB* to see if the devices show up when you plug them in.

Need help with Antminer U1. I am running Xubuntu 12.04 with block erupters now, but I am switching to Antminers. I need help installing the driver as I want to use the Bitminter client. I need help with the command line commands. I have posted this question elsewhere on this forum and on the Ubuntu forums and have not gotten any replies. I have googled driver installation and all I find is how to install BFGminer, not the driver.
Thanks

Is that normal?

As if blocks below 75% don't exist anymore, or something...

Maintenance March 14, 18:00-22:00 UTC. Up to 5 mins mining downtime.

I'd recommend not using online wallets. You can download an NMC wallet from namecoin.info. Or you could send the coins directly to an exchange if you just want to sell them for bitcoins.

I would immediately stop sending coins to nmc-wallet.com (I assume you meant that and not mmc-wallet.com). I'd also recommend moving whatever coins you are able from their site. If they are just taking your coins and not answering, using their site is a bad idea. Also they appear to not even use SSL...?

Apparently it's a suspected scam site:

There are a lot of scammers out there wanting to steal your coins, so be very careful where you send them. I hope you didn't lose much.

Second and third even, since maza seems fairly "worthy" ...

The argument against ix, dev, io etc was I thought due to sporadic abandonment by devs and also some issues with some of them using huge (and exponentially increasing) amounts of RAM. i.e. minerd go crashy crashy a lot.

Anyway, would be nice to get some "fresh" merge coins which have some enthusiasm behind them, re-inject a bit of excitement for the sub terahash miners so they can see whole coins building up in their wallets.

I'd also highly value the prospect of drawing in more hash to the pool, get our network share percentage up, get this variance toned down a bit.

adding a second merged coin has to help if it is possible.

Let them pile up at bitminter and then transfer them to your exchange of choice when you are ready to sell them.

And what about Mazacoin merged mining?   

What sayeth the Doctor?

his advice is okay but vircurex and btc-e have both been hacked. small amounts were lost.

my pattern of coin storage is mine send only alt coins to vircurex.  convert to btc.  transfer some of  the btc to a cold wallet transfer some of the btc to coinbase (USA only) convert to cash.

Holding any kind of coins in large amounts means a lot of risk.

Well, sounds like mmc-wallet.com 's screwup to me, if they are not at all helpful, see if you can export your private key(s) and import it into a local wallet like multibit, then theoretically they should appear when that synchs up.

(I have had no problem transferring into vircurex either, but use btc-e now, which is also reliable, hacks at vircurex make me nervous of them now though, change password frequently and use a unique one for that site, it's good practice to do that anyway)

you may have lost that money  …    

  join www.vircurex.com  use the nmc address they give you    they are an exchange and will let you convert the nmc to almost any other coin .


I have used them since aug 2012  the link above is non referral. ie use the link above I get no money or coin.

https://vircurex.com/welcome/index?referral_id=756-12066  

  use this link I get 1% of the transaction fees you generate on the site. Like when you change the nmc to btc  they charge a small fee to you and give me a small piece of it.
you do not pay extra

My nmc shows up on vircurex pretty well since aug 2012

Hey guys! Fairly new-ish to bit coin mining, though getting some decent hardware in now - TerraMiner IV's. What I am new to is merged mining and name coins. I have run into a bit of a snag, and I really have no idea how to address it. Please point me in the right direction if I am way off base.

I have set up my namecoin wallet on mmc-wallet.com and I have pointed Bitminter there. They have loyally been sending the coins off to my wallet, but most of them are not showing up (we are only talking a little over 1 at the present time...oooohhhh...$3.50!!), but I want to understand how I can get this resolved.

Messages to the wallet web site have gone un-answered - you get what you pay for there I guess (free).

Anyway, nmc-wallet shows two transactions, however, when I go to  the amecoin block explorer I see 5 transactions. the first and the last transactions are in my wallet, while the other three are... I don't know where....... http://explorer.namecoin.info/a/NDwn9qsGYZwaFZN4iVM5seP3Y8MnMDYRsg

How do I go about reconciling this? I would think they would have to be the same? How would I access the coins that are not in my wallet? It is 100% on-line.

If anyone knows, or could pint me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. I would love to learn a lot more about this and nip it in the bud before it becomes a real issue, but I don't have a ton of time to sift through a lot of irrelevant or outdated information, so I am hoping someone could help me with what they may know or help me avoid wasting a lot of time.

It would be appreciated.

Thanks.
