Don't forget to set the Initial Mining Date.
You had it set to September 1st. Try November 1st.

Ignore the date. Just pay attention to the starting difficulty.

Remember that Dave is just a resseler. Tytus is a producer of the boards and founder of 100TH mine. MBP is a host of 200TH mine and is obligated to deliver this hash power as fast as possible. That means no stock for resseling. Punin only resseling thats why he has stock and already sends October orders.

The next two weeks are crucial for ROI. US ROI estimate: http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/15281afd05. Not looking good.

EU customers are going to get decent ROI due to early delivery. http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/333c1299c7

Also, I believe your 100% Difficulty Increase / Month is very low.. I set it to about 150%.

I had posted this in the support thread. I'm hoping to get a quicker response here.

I had been using BTC Guild since I had gotten my miner, and everything was fine up until last night when BTC Guild got hit with a DDoS attack. Since then, I am not able to connect to BTC Guild or any other pool (I've tried 50BTC, Eclipse, and Bitminter). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

   EMC is working for me too and are you using port: 3333 for first one


No ping on BTC Guild. Guess it is still recovering from the DDoS.

Thanks, using port 3333 did the trick. Any reason as to why their site says to use port 8337?

bitminter has been running just fine.

Eclipse is working fine for me.  See if you can ping, telnet to the pool from your miner.  Ethernet LEDs are ok?
If not, re-image the card and try again.

This kinda puts us in US under big disadvantage.
We pay roughly (i haven't checked in a while) same as EU customers yet we get same product 3-4 weeks after EU. And we all know what that means.

Yes, these are the constraints that punin doesn't seem to have as he is solely a reseller. Hence faster ship times.

Yes, looks like we need another US/NA reseller that is not bound by other commitments.

First October orders are already being received in EU thread. Looks like we're getting screwed a bit on timing by a 3-4 weeks. Dunno.. maybe Dave will clarify.
My my calculations right now the boards should be MAX $250 and that would make about 25% ROI (no electric costs), but even that for me is to of a risky proposition at this point.
I am definitely not touching any $500 h-boards at this point. Sad

He emailed me on the weekend.  3rd week of October at the earliest.  But he said that they will try to send out all October orders in October.

I guess his 200TH mine is a priority.  

If KNC starts really shipping orders in October, that bitfury full Kit becomes 4-5K kit overnight.  Then depreciation will depend on the rate KNC adds hashing power to the network.

Once people behind 100TH mine project realize that they need to make that 1000TH instead of 200TH mine,  then we'll not see October orders until sometime in November/December.

Looks like KNC came through.  Quick, run for cover, cancel all bitfury orders....

Flood of KNCs are coming in October, network hash rate is going to 4PH, diff to 0.5B

Heck even without KNC, but looking at calculator (the % increase, 30 days 126%,60 days 376%, 90 days 597%) and taking into account pencil-modding new board (EU thread) to 35Gh/s
Is not even going to come even close to ROI at $500 per H-board.  Sad
My $3500 investment (of 7 H-boards) would leave me $1290 in the hole and that's with 0 electricity costs with me starting to mine 1st of Oct.

http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/

I'm seriously thinking about cancelling my order of 30 boards.  At $500 a pop, they don't look too hot even at 35GH/s per board.
I had 2 more orders lined up for full kits, but it is hard to justify the 8K sticker at this difficulty progression.

And from what I hear from Dave, he is planning to send them out 3rd or 4th week of October, at best.

Glow Stick Dance!
Lol, being a PSU snob has come 'round and bit me in the ass!

Two pi's and 2 SD cards now appear to be faulty and or corrupted.  The pi's boot up but then they go into a never ending cycle of debugging gibberish.

Where do I start?!  I know, go back and read... doing that now.  But if anyone can point me to a shortcut, that would be cool.  Smiley

Don't worry, this may not be related to power at all, the card/os may just have got corrupted, it happens. You were being a bit of a snob though ;-).


Problem resolved and lesson learned.  I just had to recreate the img file on the SD and reconfigure.  Took 30 minutes and most of that time was spent waiting for img file to download and copy to the SD card.  Panic attack aborted!

And the lessoned learned is... don't be a dick!  Or the pi gods will get you.  Lol.

Good to hear that you're back up and running Smiley. It's also encouraging that your RPis weren't toasted, so this may not be related to the power issue. Are you getting stable 5V output from your m-boards by the way or do you see the worrying voltages that dracore has seen?

I don't have a clue how to check voltages.  Flying blind here!  Lol.

And yes everyone, have an extra pi and a handful of SD cards on hand.  And an extra M board probably would be wise.  I guess this is what we get for demanding our ASICs be delivered quickly without proper testing.   Undecided
