Or for a lower cost "lottery chances" solo mining route you can use a USB stick miner from Sidehack or his higher THs pod miner the R909
Both require Kano's latest cgminer for the drivers running on a PC or Pi.

Minuscule chance of finding a block but it *does* happen.
Can I use it on a company computer? I don't think I'll be caught dead using it though and how low are these chance of finding a block though? I've having some thoughts about building a mining rig or at least saving up to have one but this seems like a viable option for starters.

The chances are dependent on how many TH/s you are getting. For example if you used 1 R909 at 2 TH/s your chances are 1 in 295,479,206. If you buy 1 S19 XP which is around 140 TH/s then the odds drop to 1 in 4,221,132.

Hello all,

I came upon a "bitcoin/blockchain for dummies" post a while back and I can't seem to locate it and was looking for help finding it. I believe it was on someone's site here as a blog post and I believe the page itself had a blue background and did a great job explaining the blockchain/bitcoin and would love help finding it. I've used the search function already and came up empty.

Thank you

Here are some issues we'd like to see at my company.

We have 1166 Pro and 1246 Avalons that just randomly shut off and have to be power cycled to turn back on. Why?

Can we have a list of all the ascset parameters for Avalons?

Is there ever going to be updated firmware for those miners?

The FMS tool is extremely laggy and would be nice to have it fixed to run as well as Whatsminer tool or BTC Tool.

I designed and wrote the API Smiley

Anyway, ascset is a command to allow a driver to accept 'options', of the developer's choice, in the driver code via the API.
So whatever 'options' they implement in the 'ascset' function that the API calls, is whatever is available.

The norm is also to accept "ascset|0,help" to return the list of ascset options available.
However, what they implement is up to them.
e.g. in my Gekko driver if you look at the code, it reports the list of options when you pass it 'help'

If Canaan wasn't violating the cgminer license like they are doing and hiding the source code, it would be the .set_device defined function in the driver code.
But again, it is possible, but not guaranteed, that 'help' may tell you what the options are - but you'd need to see the code to be sure what they do.

This is what I get when I run that command

Code:
success: {'session': 1675108800, 'success': [{'ip': '10.138.23.226'}], 'error': [], 'results': [{'node': {'ip': '10.138.23.226'}, 'result': [{'result': "{'STATUS': [{'STATUS': 'I', 'When': 426204, 'Code': 118, 'Msg': 'ASC 0 set info: fan-spd|frequency|hashpower|led|pdelay|reboot|voltage|workmode', 'Description': 'cgminer 4.11.1'}], 'id': 1}"}], 'error': False}]}

Can anyone tell me how to code the commands into the FMS tools diagnose area to setup a command like this. It doesn't seem to work if I put that into the run field.

--avalon-auto --avalon-freq 256-365 --avalon-cutoff 80 --avalon-temp 60
