Do you run the BFL-Software? Did you consider using cgminer instead?
I don't know how well the BFL-Software works, but cgminer seems to distribute shares among pools very efficiently, so only few shares are lost, if the main pool is lagging or down.

This is a good question.... I have heard very good things about cgminer.

Also now that we are getting to business... did you have any plans of putting up a status page OgNasty so we can check on the farm status?

As backup-pool I would like to recommend eclipsemc. They seem to have nearly equal conditions as ozcoin.

Auto-tuning it now with BFL software to determine the proper bitstream.

I auto-tuned the BFL Single and installed the 832MH/s bitstream as recommended. Testing is currently underway and this BFL Single will be hashing for us before the end of the day... Which brings us to a question. What pool do we want to use?

For those not familiar with GPUMAX, when public work is not available, it falls back to your standard pool. I'll admit I haven't researched Bitcoin Mining Pools in a while, but did go over a few of the larger ones last night. I decided that Ozcoin Mining Pool would work best for our purposes, due to their low fees, automatic NMC->BTC conversion, and Double Geometric Payout Method. If no shareholders are opposed, in addition to GPUMAX, we will be mining with Ozcoin. This morning I setup an account and set the donation rate at 1%, but am open to suggestions on what we should be making as far as a pool donation as well.

With my measly share count I have the following input:

Use GPUMAX, as long as we don't have some of the timeout errors other have been reporting
I think 1% donation is a good idea, karma people karma
I am not in a position to compare pools, so I will abstain from that vote

Also I assume that the dividends will not payout at the contracted 20Mh/share yet. Do we have a count of what the Mh/share will be for these first tiny payouts?

Actually that's a Rev. 3 (heat pipes). The sheet that came with it says rev 1. I think they kept that same sheet for most of the newer orders. Keep 'er cool!

Interesting. I thought all the Rev. 3's had a second fan installed on the bottom. Auto-tuning it now with BFL software to determine the proper bitstream.

On another note, I've received an email from Butterfly Labs saying that our next 2 BFL Singles have shipped and we should receive them by Monday.

In an effort to get dividends for this operation rolling as soon as possible, I have come to an agreement to purchase 1 BFL Single from forum user kibblesnbits. This single should be shipped out tomorrow and dividends will begin being paid shortly after receipt of the device.

Looking forward to becoming a fellow shareholder. Have it shipped first thing Monday morning.

I have in my possession, a revision 1 BFL Single sent by kibblesnbits. Tonight I will use the BFL software to test and load the appropriate bitstream. Once the appropriate bitstream has been loaded, I will begin a 24 hour test to make sure the unit is functioning properly. If everything checks out, I will get this thing hashing for us in hopes to provide a small dividend this coming Saturday.

I kinda prefer a regular set time each week. Easier to keep track of things.

But I won't be upset if I received smaller dividends frequently throughout the week.

It's much easier to compare Nasty to other listings if dividends are paid weekly, just as most other companies do it.

Will the dividends be paid weekly?

I've been contemplating this. I am torn between paying them weekly on a set schedule, or paying them randomly whenever I am in the GLBSE account. Anyone have a preference? Random payments would most likely be much more frequent.

Just like I invested in MergedMining, I will also be investing in this ASAP.
OgNasty has yet to fail in paying out consistently.

Thanks Kain. Always great to hear praise from a member who has been around longer than myself.
