Seems to me 0981 is the optimal run number, any higher there is issues. Any lower and I'm just doing myself a disservice. They are quite picky about being crowded on cheaper powered hubs. Though right now for me it's an illusion to be running at 2ghs each and I don't understand. Maybe just how I read bfgminer.




I guess I really don't understand the numbers in the middle column. First 2 show about 2ghs then the 3rd shows what I guess is the average. But it's the 3rd one that the pools see. I should be at 10gh/s but it's more like 7.5gh/s in reality.

How long have you left them running? It can take hours for it to even out on mine...
I managed to find the following explanation of the three columns on google, which helped me understand things a bit better (still getting my head around it all though!);

"5 second exponentially decaying average hash rate / An all time average hash rate / An all time average hash rate based on actual nonces found, adjusted for pool reject and stale rate"

My googlefoo sucks bad Smiley Thank you!

I'm not really complaining too much about the hashrate too much, in my opinion, best value for gh/s to $$ in the < $100 market. Unless people have a few grand to throw at something, these devices are worth it for those wanting to dabble their feet in mining. I've noticed that they killed the block erupter usb (333's) market on ebay. Not certain why the bitfury's @ 2.2 still trying to get $150+ when you can pretty much get 3 of these for that price even at ebay. I guess it's cause the bitfury vendor hasn't realized the competition has raised the bar on price vs gh/s and ease of use.
