I'm getting out of context here, but are there some other people worried about the fact of the huge Asic machines coming out summer/winter ? + most coins switching to scrypt N adaptive ? saw like 3 or 4 switch already today?
I'm interested in pre order of some fibonacci Recursion but if all coins will switch we will have some nice gridseed and other hardware we can put in the bin Grin

Ive heard of "new" coins with Scrypt-N but hadn't heard of any switch mid-stream...
Can you elaborate?

just take a look at this coin for example :

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=500511.new#new

they went to N adaptive since this morning because the dev was tired of the coin getting hit by the multipools.

And they are already discussing on other coin threads of doing the same.

If all coins switch to N our Asic miners will be useless because it needs a big amount of ram that only GPU can handle with a special
miner such as bfgminer made especially for Vertcoin.

Good to know. Not one of my regular coins, but the fact that they can switch is interesting.
I was trying to play with vertcoin, but not having much luck, even after following the directions to best of my ability...

Three words come to mind...
IGNORE THAT SHYT!

There are NO Scrypt-N coins in circulation 'yet' IF ever!
So why announce it now instead of waiting for them to actually be minted and released for circulation?

I'd be careful about accepting RUMOR as fact because it ain't true. It's just BULL SHYT!

That's my .000000025btc worth!

Pea Ess, a few more words come to mind.

I hadn't seen it mentioned previously but has anybody gone over 900Mhz on these yet?

Yes someone is runing at 1000 with all mods done

That would be me. Wink

Rock steady at 1000MHz with all current mods.

Just when you think you have a handle on this stuff, BOOM, back to the drawing board and more testing.

Like I said before HUBS matter, LOL
Today I got a 24 port monoprice round hub. Can't use it in my 3U but sure as hell, 24 pots run fine on the Pi.

We really need to do a HUB section

-bobby

that's a good idea yes.

I know these ones are good ones

http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181337634102&ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649

I agree! There needs to be a good study on USB protocol, techniques, technology, hardware, differences between types etc. and of course USB hubs.

I need to learn a lot more about USB than I know before I take the plunge and start wiring up farms.

Do we have any USB experts out there?

UPDATE:: I was wrong,. 23 is max, at 24 the nic card dies.

I saw their 36 port round hub, but wasn't sure the rpi could handle it.
Was thinking about 2x 13 port hubs instead. Do you think the max is 23 for the rpi or is the nic problem somthing else?

Any way to get bfgminer to display more then just 15 GS units? I have 28 hooked up but can't see what they are all doing. Windows BTW.

right click on the bfg window menu bar and go to properties. Go to layout, change the height to 40 or 50, hit apply/ok restart bfgminer.

You can also arrow down in the window to make it scroll.

THANK YOU!!! That was driving me insane. Next question, has anyone been able to get bfgminer to work with more then 28 GS units? I have a 10 port hub in the port with 1 10 port plugged into it and a 13 port plugged into it. When using bfgminer it crashes at 29 units.

EDIT: Pic of my 11 units hashing after 30 hrs or so.

wolfey,

how much do you think I can overclock the gridseed by doing just the pencil mod and bridge mod? the last remaining mod is a bit out of my leage,

and you are a continent away so I cannot send them over to you that would be really not cost effective haha^^

The resistor mod is necessary to clock over 950MHz stably. Especially to even get 1000mhz to be stable and pretty much hw error free.
But, if you can do the solder bridge, you should be able to do the resistor replacement just as easily.

Best performance is with all 4 mods. That's just the way it is if you don't want to have to put up with red nuisances 'nonce's' Wink

Wolfey2014

Wolfey2014, can you let me know where to find these "mods" which are being talked about?
I would like if it's something I can handle or not. Limited electronics experience here.
Used a soldering iron once or twice...
Is anyone selling GSDs which have the mods already applied?

Sure!
Volt Mods thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=519112.new;topicseen#new
Start on page 1.
Pics of all 4 mods start on page 6 courtesy of sandor111.

I've been thinking about offering new pods with the mods Wink

If there is a market for this, I just might do it!
I certainly can do these mods without bricking them....
I'll have to test run each pod before and after modding, before releasing them to the customer.

I'll probably have to charge around $50 a pop, including shipping perhaps, to cover all costs.
Might be able to do it for less though. We'd have to see how it pans out.
This would include the whisper quiet 5V fan modification too. These would be Scrypt only mods!
If you wanted to mine SHA, you'd probably have to covert the fan back to 12V operation.
But, that gives me another idea...... Wink

I suppose I could have the customer drop ship their order to me here, do the mods then ship them to the customer.

One could certainly recover the cost per unit in a matter of a couple weeks I would think.

could you show me what resistor I can use or buy on ebay for example? I'm in Spain and here the local electronic shops are pretty hard to find.

The solder mod is a pain but it can be done I did all mine and I am running at 950 with no errors. For 3 days straight so far.
