Poor impulse control.
Can someone point on the total hash rate of AM ?

I notices someone is on top, while AM is second on Bitminter Huh

No, realasicminer is top on BitMinter with 5Thps.

In that case you might also want to look at the speculation and alt-currency boards.

Thanks, I might do so!

BTW, why do you have a photo of me as your avatar?

Lol, do we look alike? Because that's me.
(or maybe is this some sort of joke? mmmh...)


No, that was my cousin's wedding in 2009.

No, it wasn't. It looks a lot like it though. Almost as if you attempted to recreate it in tableau. Hmmmm Smiley

well this isn't creepy at all.


haha yep that's a weird one...

Sorry Lohoris - totally looks like this photo of me at my cousins wedding, but now I compare the two it's not.

Much lol, if it wasn't for the non-matching date (this one was 2012) I would have asked you if this was the same wedding, lol. Here's the full album: it's public anyway.

So, how long have you been working as my doppelganger? Smiley
That's a tough job, but it pays well...

Actually WU is what you get paid for. U is denominated in whatever pool difficulty you have while WU is denominated in difficulty 1.
No, WU: includes rejects - which you do not get paid for.

U: is exactly what you get paid for - accepted shares.
I am mining at 1diff so in this case it is even the exact share count when multiplied by the elapsed time and divided by 60.

If you are not mining at 1diff then yes you don't know how much you will be paid, but it still does tell you how many payable shares you have submitted.
The API "Difficulty Accepted" will tell you exactly how many 1diff shares you have submitted

Hm... OT, but I always thought U was adjusting to diff, so if you have a pool with varying difficulty, it wouldn't show accurate numbers, while WU, minus rejects, would always denominate in diff 1.

Oh well, one learns every day.

No you are confusing my comment about shares with difficulty.
As I said above, "I am mining at 1diff so in this case ..."
If you want to work out how much you are paid, you need to know the "Accepted Difficulty" - but if you just want to know how many shares (be they 1diff or 256diff) you have submitted then that's what U: is.
So, yes you cannot guarantee to work out how much you will be paid with U:, but you do know how many 'shares' you have submitted.

Firstly, yes a dev unit, I'm one of the people friedcat contacted last year about sending out dev units

My ASICMINER USB Erupter showed up about an hour ago.
Been playing with the Icarus timing settings still not quite got it right yet.

Obviously yes I'm getting around 300MH/s out of it.

Currently best settings are for anyone wondering while I sort it out:
--icarus-options 115200:2:1 --icarus-timing short

A pic or 2 Smiley Click for bigger




Edit: the USB chip is: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP210x UART Bridge / myAVR mySmartUSB light

OK after messing with it for quite a while, I've decided that the optimal settings to use for my one for now are:

--icarus-options 115200:2:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=80

It's definitely getting around 300MH/s (or more) but I'd need to let it run for a few hours at least to get a rough idea.

The MH/s that my Icarus driver reports is affected by the timing numbers - if the 3.0ns number is wrong (which it is) it will affect the reported MH/s
Best way to get an unbiased slightly under-estimate timing is U: after at least a few hours (a day or two is best) - since U: is what you get paid for Smiley

Here's a screen grab after running for 10 minutes


Had 1 hardware error in there.
Seems it might get as many as a few an hour - we'll see.
Mine has no heat sink and gets hot to touch so that may be part of it.
... and after asking friedcat about the internals of the chip ... another adjustment to the settings:

 --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=80

After I let this run for at least a few hours I should see how far above 300MH/s it really is - coz it certainly seems to be above 300.

sry for maybe stupid questions, but i;m newbe ;/

Sorry but this does not absolve you from not putting any effort on searching for the darn info first which are in the same freaking section a couple if threads below this one!

To those that have been following this longer than me...

If I'm not terribly wrong, this one latest sale of 190 Block Erupter blades is valued at over US$1M, which, although nothing in the global scale of thing, seems to be a fairly significant transaction in Bitcoin, not to mention representing $2.50 per share.

What other massive ($1M+) sales or transactions have been done using Bitcoins? The pizza thing wasn't that much in USD and I know about a Porche being sold a little while back, but nothing I've found even comes close.

I want to write an article on this sale, and would like to include comparative numbers.

Hi,

I bought on the auction (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/2-days-only-300-direct-shares-of-asicminer-199616) 4 shares , and I have a question, how can I check that I;m a owner of them ?

and is some spredsheet of owners and dividents of them ?


sry for maybe stupid questions, but i;m newbe ;/

Before I jizz my pants, did they actually send these out already? Which group buy did you join?

Uhm.... Too late.

dev unit, absolutely. consumer models are blue, hence sapphire.

Excited for div day.

I wouldn't expect the entire gross estimate; better to have friedcat and co. to keep some to keep that hash power up and running. Anything from 0.02-0.025 would be good enough, use the rest to ensure those payouts stay high and consistent.

I'm excited for div day every week  Wink

WOW!! They've shipped already?!?!

These may be just dev units, nvm  Undecided
