I'm of the opinion that btcguild pays out more because their collective hashrate is so high. Better luck solving blocks. Normally it all evens out but during these times of crazy rising difficulty you have to be with those that solves blocks the fastest.

Having said that I haven't compared 50btc or elgius. I used to use Bitminter all the time until the difficulty went crazy. I don't like 17 hour long blocks. Mining on Bitminter feels like a lottery right now.

funny, i was on bitminter too prior to diff. craze, and went to btcguild for same reasons....hmmm....maybe i am not as dumb as i look....

next difficulty 230 (4days to go) estimate 260 (70 mill jump)
Saturn @ 260 Gh/s = .5024 coins per day

Best scenario I can see is 21 coins back (maybe a couple more in the months after) which leaves me with a probable loss of $1500
Saturn was $4800 incl VAT +shipping.

Anyone who is still waiting is worse off of course unless bitcoin price goes crazy

That VAT is killer, almost a full 1000$ more than what non-VAT countries paid

Saturn ...1.3 btc in 48 hours, even with all the problems I had

**
I'm not liking slush's "Varidiff" function... Its a tad low at times, and Id like to try another pool...
**What other pool is best at this point?

Give BTCGUILD a try...they can't be top dog for nothing. and i suggest pplns and not pps. good luck.

Why not 50BTC? BTCGuild seems to not give as much coins as you should get.. maybe it's the fee, or maybe it's their PPLNS system or whatever. Just 'feels' wrong though

i think eligius is free...so let us know which is best....50btc, btcguild, eligius

In practice probably whichever gets DDoS'd the least, (and you should still have the other pool(s) as failover)

Actually.. eligius pays TX fees to miners. Do either 50btc or btcguild? that could be much more important than just a few % fee

right now you should be closer to 1 btc a day with your rig, until next diff. change in 5/4 days.

Yep. Absolutely everything works seamlessly now that the config file is correct.
I'm even back to peaking at over 300 on .095 firmware.
It fixed everything.

wow, that is amazing, wish i could say the same about my rig...anyhow, when it arrives I will have to look you up phoenix1969...

good work!

Found out that the WU (Work Unit) is the most important value.

Careful WU includes all shares including those rejected. You only get paid for valid shares. In your case you probably are still coming out ahead just didn't want someone else to think higher WU is always better. Higher WU with same or lower reject is always better.

It would be nice if cgminer had a WA (work accepted / min).

I do not go on WU alone however it is a metric that I use to gauge stability and performance overall.

I compared the 12 hour 13 hour and 24 hour results between firmware v0.9.4 and firmware v0.9.5 and found that by 24 hours I lost out on 200,000 potential accepted shares if I had gone with firmware v0.9.4 over v0.9.5

Yet I am doing a few final tests to see if that loss is worth it as firmware v0.9.4 needs ambient temps to be below 21°C in order to not start to take a performance hit.

And yes these tests were done in the same environmental conditions including network connectivity results from the pool.

does bermod 0.2.1 work with fw 0.95??

Yes, in chrome you need to do a ctrl refresh once you hit check status or it appears to loop. If it doesn't load the full page keep doing ctrl+refresh and it'll pull the data once its finishes polling all the asics.

thx

1) There are no more refunds.

Not necessarily:

Refunds are offered up to the day of shipment of your order.

Wish they would have actually stuck to this.

slush's avg is over the last ten rounds, including restarts & down time

I am looking at the Mhash/s* number and that is very far off from the speed of cgminer, how is yours like.

almost exactly like yours...right now cgminer says 270 average, while slush says 254639 Mhash/s, which is about 16Gh/s different, but I've had the system down a few times sorting things out, so that seems accurate

wow, mine wouldnt work that way...your call.. it should be: stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 exactly like that.

edit: Now the date is correct in cgminer too, among other things
Now I feel I'm ready for the other two saturns that have been "In Progress" all week... ship them badboyz already!
I'll send Darkrider to pick them up....hope he has a jet Grin

The only stat that really worked before was the 5s avg.... now that all the other stuff is working, i can see myy real average is only about 268, which matches slush's stats. Sad

I'm just glad to have one up & running for now

\
the cgminer hash rate is showing 270 but slush pool hash rate is showing 240, is there something wrong?
