Topic: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It - page 1263. (Read 3917029 times)

There is no doubt this week would most likely be the most profitable one, but it all depends on others shipment because no matter the difficulty, if you are the sole reason for the  bump, the only thing you do is make it less profitable for others while maintaining the same profitability. I also assume the entry time during a certain difficulty is irrelevant because it would only shorten the difficulty bump delay, thus generating at the same faster rate, and getting an earlier and steeper jump so biting the bullet the next week to compensate.

All in all, pretty much everything is irrelevant except "sooner the better" and how soon the competition gets here.

Everyday is worth multiple thousand right now, so it should definitely priority, which I can't comment on because I have no idea what's up (that part was never clarified or explained). But when your days are worth temporarily worth thousands of dollars, you buy more blow and sleep less.

Difficulty just jumped to 3651011.63069.  Around the time of the next jump, BFL machines should be coming online and that will affect the following difficulty jump regardless of what friedcat does. This current difficulty period seems like the ideal time for friedcat to put his 12 TH online.

Well we don't know how he's doing it.  For all we know he's testing machines one by one, then taking them back offline - with the plan to put them all back online when difficulty rises.  I haven't (and can't be bothered to) done  the math to figure out if that actually makes sense (giving up earnings now for lower difficulty later) but would assume he has if it's relevant.

Do you think he'd care to wait after difficulty jump to power up new miner ?  Maybe if he had 15 ths or more...

I'm really curious about what friedcat is going to do after the next 5 blocks are found and difficulty jumps - will we suddenly see another couple of TH brought online?

Just speculating   I am tracking the top-20 at ozcoin since I got recently kicked out from by the new big players. Over the past days I noticed some 0.4-0.7TH miner popping there up now and then that was not one of the 'usual suspects'.

Right now this big one got split into 0.2 + 2 * 0.12 TH. So either someone is testing different mining configurations or I'm seeing something that is not here.

67117 is now over 3th on BTCGuild.

So it looks like the continuing initial deployment is still going there.

Which I have no problems with.

Other than the 3% 'lossage'. 

Are there any ASICminer sightings on pool other than BTCGuild?

Zefir mentioned 0.5TH on OzCoin but I dont see them in the Hall of Fame page...

The BTC Guild website was being migrated off of the server.  The default page (www.btcguild.com) had a Migration in process notice, though other links would have been broken.  The only part offline other than the website was one of the getwork nodes [now also migrated].  Luckily, ASICMINER is using Stratum which kept chugging along just fine.

Zero problems over the last couple hours from where I'm sitting / connecting.

via Stratum 

Wow that's news.  Hopefully they are using something like cgminer but a device so unique is probably not supported by cgminer--yet!

I hope friedcat is using a software where he established a secondary pool to target the hashingpower to. At the moment btcguild isnt available to me (timeout) so i hope the hashingpower isnt lost. I believe cgminer had such a feature. When a pool isnt answering then another pool is used.

Anyone notice https://www.btcguild.com/ is down? DOS attack?

Thank you, that helped me get things figured out. I know very little programming, and knew absolutely nothing of ruby.

If you or anyone else is interested/having issues here's what I did

Replaced rescue with above code, which returned
Google helped me learn that I could fix that by adding amongst the other requires

Then I started seeing these
Google again led me to this solution, although it probably isn't the best, it does work. Added this after the requires
Now the script works as I believe it was intended. The only remaining issue is I can't gracefully stop it, CTL-C just causes it to have errors, but continues reporting the hashrate. I have to close the terminal to stop it. Otherwise, great stuff and thanks again! (and apologies to everyone for the longish/maybe OT post)

Down to 800 GHash/s now 200 GHash/s on btc guild, could we be launching for real soon??

EDIT: Went back to 2.5 THash/s don't know why it dropped, nevermind!

I think you just woke him up!

Come on, a forum post a distraction? Lol

And as a more constructive answer ; I believe the trading platform website is also gonna contain those information, especially considering you will need an account, it would be ideal and I would be surprised if they over sighted that opportunity although it isn't confirmed.

It'd be a good idea to stop distracting friedcat while hes busy setting up the farm.

It would be a good idea if shareholders could actually keep track of hashingpower and income on a website somewhere....

Whats this 51% attack speak for? It doesnt make sense to attack the network this way. The only reason someone would try it would be to destroy bitcoin or harm it. But it doesnt make sense to attack when you want to earn money from it. Its clear that asicminer was built do earn money so there is no point to think that there is the risk of a 51% attack. That would simply be stupid to do, so please stop bothering about it.

I dont like the idea to sell asics yet. Or even give free samples to someone. That doesnt make sense. All the hashingpower should remain with friedcat so that all can take part with the earnings in a fair share. We already know that the asics work so there is even no need to give samples to proof this.

Selling or giving away asics should only be done when the profitability is way less. Otherwise single persons would get an uncool advantage against the rest.

I think the small changes in hashrate at btcguild are only a variance. Friedcat probably doesnt send more asicpower that way. So i guess they now let solo mine the remaining asics and i believe its not so easy to find a solominer in this solo miners pool. Thats why http://blockchain.info/pools shows the most of the solominers as unknown. I wonder how much TH asicminer runs at the moment. http://blockchain.info/de/charts/hash-rate shows that the hashrate goes up consistently so it looks to me like friedcat is bringing in more hashrate... only not more at btcguild anymore. Im not sure how exact the graph is but it looks like around 5-6TH more hashingpower are working since the last days. I wonder how much asicminer is there involved.
