Is he going to support it going forward?

Punin is working on cgminer implementation.

+1 That is a mistake.  Con/Kano and don't forget Luke, could make cgminer/bfgminer work with these devices in no time.
It could help sales of HW.  (Although, I don't think they need help).

One of the selling points was a "fork" of cgminer (I am a mod on IRC #cgminer and do testing of cgminer). Well established and always forked.

The software chainminer using "getwork" REALLY,  it seems even a year after it's release, you have a patch work solution for stratum, the major protocol of mining pools.

chainminer has no relation to cgminer. Putin's comments on he'll work on it when he can, shows his priorities.

I asked specifically if Dave was sending a board to Con and Kano and he said he would, he didn't, guess it's another fail or bad decision.

If you were using the latest cgminer you'd look at WU over a period of time to be certain of your real hash rate ... oh wait you can't.
Pool hash rates and short term hash rates can fluctuate dramatically.
Using a known accurate method will be way more useful that whatever you are using.
Oh well.

I asked them to send my order 149 without M-card.  I had order 89 that I placed few hours before 149.  I asked them to combine them, but they said they cannot do that so they sent out 89, but now they are holding 149.  I just need a working H-card from the 149 order.  They can send me M-card with my other October h-cards.  We'll see what they say.

wow, you're right. The pool is PPS with 7.5% fees, which is absolutely insane. furthermore, the current hashrate looks to be around 18Ghash per starter kit (if there are 54 as claimed). I don't mind my order being hosted until more m-borads show up, but i feel like the choice of pool and bare minimum of hardware allocated to it (i saw it get as high as 27Ghash and less than 18Ghash, which indicates it is at a loss compared with the starter kits' extra EOL card that ensures 25-35Ghash for those already up and running at home)

People who are mining with starter kits at home are producing almost 150% the bitcoins that this hosting does because of the >=25Ghash speeds and low fee pools available (seriously, 7.5%?)

I respect everything you've done dave, but this is a pretty blatant mistake. Punin shipped every single august order within about 3 days using extra h-boards and V2 M-boards. Hopefully we can get an update soon

So, let me get this correct, your using the M-Boards that were allocated to our orders to maintain your mine (I am an share holder) and you have allocated 4 rigs at BTC Guild at the PPS rate (as per the API) with a 7.5% fee((1 / Network Difficulty * 25) - Pool Fee (7.5%) https://www.btcguild.com//index.php?page=support§ion=howamipaid  one of the highest pool fees out there).

Seems to me that your failing to walk your talk to ship out August orders before populating your mine. Let us not forget the rigs going to LabRatMining (which I am a shareholder also) which were purchased after most August orders were placed.


This could be considered a grave financial impropriety.

Please enlighten me as to how that is adventurous to us, seems like we are funding the operation of your mine with our equipment and getting paid way less than our own individual strategies. What advantage is that to us, are you sending extra h boards to compensate? Because the BTC payment based on your decisions seem inappropriate and you are profiting way more by holding our equipment while the production errors are catching up. Even now, we will not be able to achieve any ROI http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/9373700baf

You apparently have the equipment as per your analysis. I know I paid the full overnight shipping fee for an August starter kit. If your taking 800 cards out of the picture by shipping out our paid for equipment, we are getting Avaloned and your decision to do this without asking those of us waiting for orders is a poor choice.

You were doing so good, what happened to you.

Care to share a photo of your modded boards?

spiccioli

What's your noncerate at web-gui?

Well, things certainly got quiet on this thread after that post....

That's probably a fluctuation on the high side. The nature of Poisson processes means there's uncertainty equal to 2x the square root of the number of shares returned (at the 95% confidence level). That was 24480 diff1 shares at difficulty 32, so 765 diff32 shares; 2*sqrt(765) = 55, so I should report the rate as 34500 +/- 2500.

But, more to your point, pencil mod to achieve 0.74Vdd at the lowest voltage chip plus heatsink on back of board under regulator thermal vias. Stratum proxies running on external (fast) host; chainminer recompiled with


instead of the default optimization flags. No manual chip tuning at this point. Estimate ~80% of the increase is due to the Vdd change, but I'm not going to slow things down to take better measurements I will note that if this were achievable on all 16 cards the full kit would be >550GH/s!

  How did you get get up so high for 25Gh/s starter kit?

Woohoo - got my starter kit out of billing-address limbo!

Aaand...


At the pool!!


38W at the wall on 120V, which seems pretty good given how lightly I'm loading the PS (Corsair TX750).

I have some tips to improve performance on the software side that I'm collecting as I roll them out here;
I've got my pi's load average down to 0.10 and total CPU utilization at ~5% with only two shares rejected in the last hour.

ASIC devices are so time sensitive that I suspect we will see a lot of hardware and software issues with the new ASIC devices that are coming to market. Unfortunately, the early adopters are also beta testers.

I'm still on the fence about a BitFury purchase, so I'm watching intently...

Same here.  My board just dropped back to 0 again.  I think there is something wrong.

  your diff too high and try to set your diff to 16.

I saw the same happening on my chips. Two days ago I was good with 75-77. They keep jumping from 60 to 77 as they please. If you have any information on why this happens please let me know. I'm willing to test anything in case I can elaborate more on this behaviour

A few hours later, things are still looking good. 27.144GH/s noncerate and 26.915GH/s with diff 32 on BTC Guild.

Oh weird...  my hash rate went from 0 to 3 after half an hour, then went to 17, and now jumped back to 25.

I think there's something really funky going on with these chips... definitely do not feel like they're stable.  Almost like some chips shutting down for a while and then coming back to life when they feel like it.
