BMC, If you need help from people, we're happy to provide whatever resources you require to get the site back up and running. I have a significant investment in your service, so I am willing to provide resources free of charge.

I also still believe in the service you have provided and also still believe it is worth pursuing and would continue to invest more.

So please provide an update at the very least.

What's going on Boys and Girls?

BMC, can you get your act together and at least give us an update as to where you are in getting the service back up and running, if you need help with hosting etc, then I have a public server available for use, highly secure.

Let us know.

If we can help, I'm sure there are many that are willing.

Well, to be honest, for the most part, bit-mining has been pretty good to me.

People all too often start belly aching and jumping when a service experiences a technical glitch. All services related to Bitcoin are new and highly experimental, if you are worried about losing money, don't invest, simple as.

Every service you use requires some faith in the service provider. So have some faith. If not, there's always Anonymous.

Re: what's means of "stratum from pool 0 requested work restart"?
by
Foysal
on 18/02/2014, 15:50:48 UTC
The short version is that the work to produce the "next" block depends on the previous block.  The moment a new block is found, any in-progress searching is aborted because it won't produce anything useful.  This is important because it encourages a "found" block to be used and distributed quickly.

You should see this message each time the bitcoin network as a whole finds a new block.

Thank you.
Does it has any influence for the efficiency of mining? I found seems the increase speed of "accepted" reduced when this phrase appear over and over. (Is the psychological effect to me?)
It might very briefly decrease your mining hashrate because of the time required to fetch new work from the pool/start working on the new work.  There's nothing you can really do about it though, other than switch to a conventional pool but that might not really make a huge difference in your hashrate so I think you're fine. Wink (it should be noted that p2pool has 10-second blocks so you'll see this message about once every 10 seconds.  That's why you can't use p2pool with devices that take a long time to start new work like BFL singles.)

Quick question.

I've just moved to a P2Pool for the first time (this morning) I have a mixed rig of block errupters and ant miner U1s - would they work ok with a P2Pool? Or do you think I would experience HW issues?

Re: AntMiner U1 "Best Practice"?

on 30/01/2014, 10:18:18 UTC
Thanks for the input guys.

What I should ask for was, is there any benefit to the actual mining, with them all together on the same PC?
do i loose anything mining wise having them on different computers?

All are going to mine against the same pool no matter how i set it up so...

Thanks Smiley

It doesn't matter where they are, if they are all on one computer or spread across separate ones. However, if you spread them, then  you have some redundancy, should one machine suddenly power off, the others will still continue to run albeit at a slightly lower hashrate.

Quick question to those using U1s if you are using CGMiner what is the string used to overclock? I can't get mine to overclock Sad

~Foyz


Thanks for the input man..

Im using BFGMiner; where its real simple to overclock

- For 1.6 GH/s, use 0781
- For 1.8 GH/s, use 0881
- For 2.0 GH/s, use 0981
- For 2.2 GH/s, use 0A81

Iv set em at 2.0 GH/s as 2.2 dont do so well

No worries, glad to help!

Thanks for the list, I can't seem to find anything about CGMiner and these U1s. It's running fine at the moment, but wanted to try the overclocking. Oh well, I'll keep digging Smiley

It doesn't matter where they are, if they are all on one computer or spread across separate ones, they will still mine at the same rate.

I don't think Bitminter client supports antminer U1 ASICs yet.

I'm mining at bitminter using CGMiner with my ASICs at the moment until DrHaribo updates the client.

You can follow the thread here.

I've just installed a new U1 and I want to over clock, anyone know what the string is I need to use in the command line for cgminer and where in the string the command should appear?

I've looked around online and can only find refs to bfgminer

Thanks!

I've managed to get it working now.

For some reason, for the first time I had to remove and re-attach the other 3 devices, yet it worked fine with the first one, very strange, but all good now. Smiley

Re: [Not] Good price at CEX.io
by
Foysal
on 27/01/2014, 16:26:11 UTC
I'd be more than surprised if their GHs price actually held up to 0.029BTC at the end of May Wink
That would be a good laugh...
(although, in case BTC value fell significantly for some reason, we could easily see these figures - but in terms of valuation at the time of my posting it would just add the need to calculate the current value)

Anyway, as stated being lucky after holding for 1 month is actually possible. Will be interesting to see how things work out after 2 months or more.
In that respect, it's not much of a prediction. It was just the math of the minimum requirements to leave the game with 0 losses.

Speaking about End of Jan 2014, 0.04BTC/GHs is an important psychological mark (round number), so I don't expect it to yield without a fight before it drops below that figure (as witnessed on 26 Jan @14:15-14:30, when it was temporarily broken downwards on high volume, then rebounded). So in terms of 0.038BTC/GHs... we're not quite there yet but obviously getting close and have 5 more days to go.

PS.
*ugh* please don't compare me with Krugman *yikes*
I'd rather go unemployed on the streets holding a sign saying "useless creature" than be like Krugman Tongue

It's at the 0.038 mark now, and it's highly unlikely it will go back up to 0.04 I sold and rebought my gig, so have more gig to mine with in the interim of the next dip.

the ghash.io pool isn't too bad, they mine the most blocks I think, so pointing your hardware there will do, you can use that to build your virtual gig with cex.io and daytrade.

Re: Is it still possible to solo mine a block?
by
Foysal
on 24/01/2014, 14:45:20 UTC
My question is this: Is it theoretically possible, even if extremely unlikely, that a setup like this can solve a block?

No ... even with my 12GH/s, i don't have solve a block since it has started.
I push 50% of time on pool and 50% on solo mining (not to find but to help transaction fluidity).

But that just means you haven't been lucky enough to find a block going solo? Doesn't mean you won't be able to.

There's every chance for a new solo miner to switch their HW on and find a block straight away, unlikely, but possible. Just depends on how lucky you are.

The more hashing power applied to the network, the more invalid hashes are processed, so I think the chances of a solo miner finding a valid hash are higher as difficulty increases. Thoughts?

Re: £2500 to spend but would it be worth it??
by
Foysal
on 19/01/2014, 21:34:02 UTC
I'm in the same boat mate, but instead of buying a rig, I invested it in to cexio, there's a lot of mixed feelings about them, but with 15GHs you'll mine around 0.03 a week at the moment, though that reduces on a daily basis so not too sure if that is the right move anymore. The good thing is, you can sell your initial purchase back, and the rate is quite low right now. If you decide to use cex.io, please use my referral link https://cex.io/r/0/foysal/0/

Or you might want to hold on to your cash and see if rigs reduce in price or do some day trading on bitstamp. That's one of my plans.

Where did you buy your equipment from and who are you mining with at the moment?

Anyone's cex.io bots making money?

Yes, I made 4% over the last week.   However this coming week who knows?   I've been out of the game for a couple days as I rebuilt my bot and liquidated my GHS.   Now it is buying back in a little bit higher.

Being able to write my own bot and run it is the major attraction to CEX.io as it is hard to be profitable just by mining. 

That's why you do both, even a minor profit is still a profit.

What have you used to write your bot btw?
