Confirming that the Bitminter mining pool has been resurrected and is now operating as the XBTO Digital Pool.
We have retained our original team, added new members, and continue to operate from our original North American data centers with updated servers.

Thank you for your continued support.

Updated 2 x S9's today with bitmains new asicboost firmware...

 have been testing asicboost on bitminter for a few hours now with no issues..
 packet capture and wireshark show its working.. slight decrease in hash power, 14.01 Th to 13.80...

 I have not yet measured power to see what exactly the decrease in power usage is yet.
 the miners seem to be running about 8C cooler than ones with original firmware so im guessing that is a good sign its saving power.

 you guys may not know this but doc added the asicboost code to the pool back in April, just had to wait all this time to test it

 Great Job Doc! It works!

Well that was expensive.. and no block.

Go look for a smoking transformer out back.

Time to end this block!!!!

hopefully will be a few more big miners in here in a hour or so..

 

The Dragonmint miner is real! I have had physical contact

Quick question: on the SP31's I seem to have issues with the bottom psu's having the orange/red light errors, and half the box stops hashing.

I have over 30 SP units, 30's 31's 35's and only the SP31's seem to do this. and its always the bottom psu...

any suggestions?

Signed up with bitminter July 19, 2011, got my first bitminter block Oct 8 2011...

I think when I first started here bitminter had only found like 3 blocks so far

Love this pool!  thanks doc!

Nice!

Take some of your transformers!

Check out the Flir E4, they can be upgraded to the higher res versions with a easy firmware hack.

Well after a lot of fooling around I have everything almost back 100% with 2.5.13

now should I let the temps drop below 0c and see what happens?

5 out of 10 SP30's seem to have failed after about 10 hours with the new firmware 2.5.6

Intake air temps have also dropped down to about 5-10c

CGminer status is : Not Running
Minergate is: Running

all loops are showing disabled.

LOOP[0] OFF ((null))
0: disabled ((null))
1: disabled ((null))
2: disabled ((null))

Have tried rebooting and power cycling. do these things not like the cold?

any suggestions?

Wow so sad, that is a tremendous amount of work down the drain..


 I really feel for these guys...

Mine took a bit longer. it was 3 days, Tel-Aviv to Ontario someplace, then another 10 days before it was in Winnipeg.
Shipped on the 15th got it on the 30th..

awesome hash rate!! keep it going! 

I canceled a bunch of hardware and went with spondoolies, also had to do a massive electrical upgrade that took forever to complete.  still have loads of hardware to get online this winter

got some Spondoolies online today... hopefully they can help power thru this block now. 

Still waiting for a power upgrade, will have 1Mw of power available soon. then look out!

When you are ready I can make available a considerable amount of storage on 10G fiber..

I'm starting to feel like I  might have broke the pool with that last block...


when will it end!!!

so as for my unseating, well I have a bunch of miners on order, but more importantly im trying to build up my datacenter, right now I have only 25 tons of aircon and im also trying to build out a 10-20Mw substation to feed it depending on what the power company will allow..

I wont be pulling ahead of Koi anytime soon, but this fall will be interesting.
