by my calculations, the next difficulty adjust is at block 46368. can anyone confirm that..

I was having a problem with my AntMiner S3+ that had become unresponsive and inaccessible after I ticked a wrong check box while trying to get fancy with the network config.  I was trying to connect the miner via WiFi, and also use it as an access point for my Raspberry Pi that's running a Gridseed, and I bridged the wrong two interfaces.  I've seen a lot of posts in this thread with suggestions on how to fix it, but they are all either incorrect, incomplete, or unclear.

First off, no amount of fiddling with the reset button did anything at all, and I tried for many hours.  Pressing the button once does nothing, holding it down for >10sec makes it restart as does double-clicking it, holding the button and then starting it up will just cause it not to boot.  Someone said to start it, wait 3 minutes, hold the button for 15 seconds, do that again, and power cycle it... which didn't work, either.

I was able to fix it by connecting to the serial debugging port on the interface board with a USB to serial adapter, and editing the /etc/config/networking file with the correct settings and rebooting.  The post that gave me the hint about the serial port was a little ambiguous on the TX/RX pinouts, so I wanted to post a pic that should be self-explanatory.  I'm using a Parallax 'Propeller Plug' that I got for about $10 when I built a Propeller on a breadboard.  The driver makes it show up as a regular COM port, and I used PuTTY under Windows to connect to it.  The pin headers are just sitting in there, the worst that might happen with a loose connection is some corrupt characters in the terminal.  The reset pin is not needed.

Hope it helps!

muhahahaha knuckle dragger, I am no longer a soldier so I can verbally rape you all day long with the fuck stick of justice!

I would still like to point out that

A: you are still a fucking moron

B: all that gibberish you just posted has nothing to do with 'account' hacking claim... forum moderation is not the same by a fucking long shot.

lol why the fuck am I even posting this? fucking trolls.

Launch will be some time in January, hopefully the beginning, certainly before the end.

Quality of the client and system are THE most important thing to me, and I've delayed launch 3 or so times now because I wanted it right.

Everything is in place now, technical workings are finalized, and there will be no more new features between now and launch, so I won't be slipping again much if at all.

Bytecoin needs more pools and a good dedicated  exchange.

You are focusing your energy on the wrong target.

Bytecoin is perfect as it is. Just keep mining and STFU!

Maria.

because bytecoin is a coin i care about which i've been spending money on creating custom pool software for it. Anyone who's used my pool's has seen the software on them change daily as i try out before deploying it on the bytecoin pool. If you guys dont trust me ask Digigami who runs the bytecoin P2Pool. unsure if i've still got the URL but it should be at bte1.crypto-expert.com or bte2.crypto-expert.com

Right, as many people know i've been planning on working on fixing bytecoin by implementing a merged mining patch. As i can see im almost ready and will put it on testnet in a day or 2. I also have a pool ready which will have merged mining on the backend but i will auto-exchange daily and double up the block reward.
Now here comes you're part:

I would like people's opinion on the following:
1) The Merged Mining Patch
2) Changing the retarget structure so it retargets more frequently, (every 30 mins?)
3) When to hard fork?

With pleasure! Just need a new client to fork it with!

Am trying to help him solve the problem of inviled shares and testing however with the hash  I have its not submitting correctly seems ti dont like asic as on p2p and needs a lot of working out and fixing befor asic ready.

any good pools ?
