Thanks for the info.  I tried going supper aggressive iN SEQ_RAS_TIMING and copying basically the UberMix 3.1 to the modified version I have.   No go.  Tried changing tRRD to 5 and ...


Going to mess around a little more.

The Samsung on Hynix doesn't work, so UberMix 3.1 is not working.  I found this string of timings in another thread where you posted


not following on "not PBE shit".  VDDC does not work on Linux, regardless of what I set in PBE and flash?  And this is where omg comes in?

But the VDDCI and VDDC can be hard coded and will be effective through editing and flashing a BIOS, correct?  Can you see anything I'm doing blatantly wrong?  At this point I'm getting 26.2MH/s consistently with that Sapphire Pulse RX 580 8GB Hynix BIOS I posted above with 900mV VDDCI, 937mV VDDC, and using that strap.  I believe UberMix is "meant" for Samsung, at least from the forum posts.  Is that why I'm having issues? 

I'm hitting 26MH/s right now when copying this strap 777000000000000022AA1C00B56A6D46C0551017BE8E060C006AE6000C081420EA8900AB0300000 01B162C31C0313F17 to 1750/2000/2250.  I'm using 1150/2200.. and I undervolted memory to 925mV and core to 1087mV.

Hi friends   Great work @doktor83.  I have a few Sapphire Pulse RX 580 8GB cards.  This is perhaps a more general BIOS editing question than tool specific, as I'm having a hard time making the "right" (or magical?) edits to obtain the hash speeds that many claim to be 29-30MH/s. 

I've uploaded the stock BIOS here:  https://mega.nz/#!5rgUgKbC!S3b2-z6TZ9CXOi6wXJzqFFE8SDE8xIqwz2MZJTdQdlc

I've tried a combination of copying the 1750 to upper, as well as in a different end result using the UberMix 3.1 timings found on OCN (http://www.overclock.net/t/1604567/polaris-bios-editing-rx5xx-rx4xx)


From a newb BIOS editing perspective, I've been reading that simply copying 1750 up should do most of the work.  However, with this specific card I'm getting 24MH/s with that edit.  And other cards aren't getting nearly to 30MH/s.

So my question, friends, is if you could help identify what I'm doing wrong.  I'm setting these to 1100/2100 with stock and modded BIOS and not getting any good results.

question for anyone - if youre using the picopsu and have multiple rigs hooked up to Finsky's 4kw PSU - how would you remote cycle a machine that's locked up ?  Or, if you physically reboot a machine but are using the PSU for multiple machines (say, 21 GPUs across 3 rigs), do you have to power cycle all 3? I thought the cards have to be cycled a few moments after the board is turned on or cycled. Does the picopsu adapter do that trick ?

Exactly.  My 50 ETH was stuck until TWO events were completed and successful and the third event was in a winning state.  I then get an e-mail notifying me it would be refunded.

This is why I'm pissed and I 100% think it should be paid out.  I didn't write the code, I'm just here gambling at your house.  You want me to keep coming back, you should honor bets when things like this happen.

Oh, there's no question in my mind if it should be paid or not.  It should BE PAID 100%.

But, I am saying that any confirmed bet I have ever had with them (listed as CONFIRMED) they have always paid me out.  1000s of ETH...

This specific instance, yes, I'm pissed, and their response time along with system failure, this bet should have been honored and paid.

Right, I'm trying to clarify here.  I DO believe that I should receive the 50 ETH parlay winnings from them.

They paid out BOTH confirmed 50 ETH legs of this bet (100 ETH x 3.32) ...

The last 50 ETH was in limbo.  No where.  Not confirmed, just no where.  Am I making sense?  I sent 50 ETH and it just sat in their wallet and didn't hit my bet.  It was sent 1 minute apart from the others expecting to go total 150 ETH on the bet.  This is because of the 50 ETH limit on some of these.

Just to be clear, I am saying this is a grey area because 100 ETH was confirmed at 3.32

The last 50 ETH was just stuck.. NO WHERE, not confirmed, or anything.

They sent me an email 4 hours later, after 2 events won, and the 3rd in a winning state, that there was a bug and they will be refunding me the last 50 ETH.

I understand what you're saying, and yes, I believe that the bet should be honored considering the circumstances.

I would like to clarify, as I believe my circumstance is a pretty grey area.  However, I still feel that they SHOULD pay.

DirectBet has always paid me ALL confirmed bets/odds.  This specific instance went as follows:

• I sent 3 x 50 ETH chunks to the bet ID
• First two got confirmed no problem
• Last transaction was in limbo for hours.  After my 2 events won, I finally got a response to multiple e-mails stating that there was an error on their side that didn't confirm the odds in the book
• I believe they should pay out and honor the bet on the last 50 ETH because the parlay was in a winning state.  My logic is that if I had sent another 50 ETH while the 50 ETH was in limbo, it's possible that I could over extend my risk tolerance and all 200 ETH could be confirmed minutes before the first game started.  In this case, DirectBet would tell me that I'm shit out of luck.  Once an event starts, then you're SOL

I would like to clarify that I've wagered a LOT of money at DirectBet at this point.  They've been slow to respond.  But never NOT pay out CONFIRMED winnings.

Peeps Place, as much as I hate to say it, and as much as I truly believe they should pay out the winnings on my parlay because the 50 ETH was in limbo and in their hands, I think we should make sure that people know the truth and have all of the facts.

DirectBet, according to THEIR own rules, did no wrong.  But, this is really a grey area and puts the bettor (me) at risk when this happens.  The system is flawed because of the blockchain use IMO...

I submitted 3 x 50 ETH bets for the same parlay on July 4th.  The first 2 bets were confirmed but the last bet was just.. no where.  The bet was placed about 1h20m before the first game started.  After no confirmation I e-mailed them with 1 hour left before the 1st game started.

I got a response 4 hours later letting me know there was a bug with their ether wallet/code on the transfer not going to my bet

Basically I won 100 ETH parlay @ 3.34 odds and the final 50 ETH was returned to me.

Do you think if it was a losing parlay they would have offered to send the money back?  Or done me a favor and said, "oh yea, it was in play, and in our wallet" ?  They claim they take the same action regardless.

My risk tolerance for this specific parlay was 150 ETH - if I had sent another 50 ETH (200 total), they could just as easily opted to confirm all bets minutes before the event started.  My 50 ETH was in limbo, in THEIR wallet, for hours, with no response.  What do you think?

I've posted a few times around and Peeps Place has taken them off of the ratings guide

Right - but on the flip side, since they did hold the bet for 4 hours, if an event lost, they could just the same have said that it was in play and it was a glitch in their system.  I bet 150 ETH, not 100 ETH.  I sent it, it screwed up on their side.

Yes, I won, but I should have won 150 ETH worth of parlay...

Just to clarify some more.

I made 3 x 50 ETH bets on this parlay.  The 3rd bet was stuck in limbo for 4 hours until I got a response.  By the time it was responded to, 2 of my teams had already won.  I ended up winning the parlay (3.34x) on 100 ETH, but the final wager of 50 ETH was returned shortly before the 3rd game result was finalized with the reasoning that their system malfunctioned and it is stated in their rules that this can happen.  But my 100 ETH bet was in play.

My argument is that if I had bet another 50 ETH this could have easily screwed me over as my risk tolerance for this specific bet was 150 ETH.  If 1 minute before the game started, I couldn't say "I only want to bet 150 ETH, but I sent you 200, and you processed 200 ETH...".

I'm biased negatively towards DirectBet because of multiple bad experiences.  Their customer service (responses) have been professional, thought out, and overall good.  However, I feel cheated and in a "lose lose" situation when I bet on their book.  If I bet 50 ETH and I send an e-mail about the 50 ETH staying in their wallet for 4 hours (requiring manual intervention on their end) and not confirming my bet, all I ask is for a TIMELY response back.  I think 4 hours to respond is not reasonable.  Especially when I'm over 2500 ETH put in play in July alone.  Oh, and then there's the fact that my 3:1 parlay won and didn't get paid out.

I've used Nitrogen and I've had great experiences so far.  The only reason I'm using DirectBet is because of ETH, but I'm sure that will change soon.

TLDR:  I'm pissed about some bug that didn't process my third leg of a 50 ETH parlay that won last night and their response time.  I've also decided to give some of my feedback thus far using DirectBet.  Overall I'm neutral to negative on the experience. 

Here are my experiences so far:

• Frustrated
• Customer service is SLOW as balls to respond for a "live betting" site
• No matter what, the house wins.. example to come
• When customer service does respond they are very thoughtful and helpful.  But if you need assistance within an hour of placing your bet, good fucking luck.
• Betting more than 50 ETH?  Good luck.  Make sure you read all of the max bets, odds, and that negotiated odds will significantly change when you place a bet > 50 ETH

Few pros

• I asked nicely for my VIP reward credit to be applied as I was doing some heavy betting end of June in to July.  They were nice and did it
• They've manually adjusted odds on a specific occasion when I was given significantly lower odds for 100 ETH + bet
• Always polite.  Even when they're in the wrong

And the primary reason I'm posting here.  I put a parlay in this evening, sending 50 ETH at a time to make sure I wasn't dicked on odds.  I picked the Cleveland Indians, Toronto Blue Jays, and Dallas FC (MLS) to win.  The odds were ~3.34.  First 50 ETH I get 3.34.  Second 50 ETH I get 3.32.  Third transaction of 50 ETH doesn't seem to appear on the bet page.  It just sits in their wallet, not transferring out as they always do.  It was confirmed and should have been placed as a bet on the parlay (for a total of 150 ETH).

I e-mail 5:09PM CST, 1 hour before the start time of the first game - Toronto Blue Jays @ 6:07PM CST.  I e-mail with a TX ID, then follow up with the bet link (I was mobile), then follow up another note stating the ETH is in their wallet.

I get a response at 9PM CST.  The response?


I ask for an explanation.  I plead my case that I would be in a lose lose situation if I sent another 50 ETH - if that one had gone through in the hour, or right before the game, it would have counted.

No matter what I do in this scenario I would lose if I didn't want to put up 200 ETH for the bet, and clearly they can not honor the bet when they see the games had already started and I'm in a winning position on all 3 games. 

And their response, yes, it was their fault.  No, they will not honor the bet as stated in their rules, even though my 100 ETH bet was still honored and confirmed, and all 3 transactions were sent within a minute of eachother. 


So, please, use DirectBet if you:

• Don't need "fast" service (within an hour response time?)
• Want some sort of decent customer service
• Best part, of course, you are sending directly to them over the blockchain, but this is also counter-intuitive sometimes because of the time it takes for transactions to clear.  All in all, I like this.
• Want your money stuck somewhere where someone can decide arbitrarily OR to their advantage whether they want to honor your bet.  It's the "rules" is a bull shit excuse for your system malfunctioning and not responding to an e-mail...
• Want "VIP Rewards" .. where you RISK 5000 ETH to be rewarded  40 ETH total, or during BONUS (woo) you get 40 ETH for 2500 ETH put up.  I'll let you do the percentages on those, but you're better off maxing your credit card with cash back rewards.

Right.  I had a lot of risky plays.  TLDR I made 10x my initial investment, so yes, I am currently a suspect and my funds are at risk (original) and winnings are tied up.

I'm certain they will clear me up and pay me out.  I didn't do anything wrong.

There were frustrating plays where I'd double down on an 11 against a 2-6 and hit NOTHING.  Had to change the play up a bit :p

I believe they do have the proper reserves.  They are taking extremely precautionary efforts to ensure all play was fair play.  I completely agree with their decision to hold back my BTC and I'm not crying about it, this doesn't seem like an excessive amount of time.

I played fair and did nothing wrong, so I'm ok with them doing their due diligence and paying me out when they investigate.  However, taking more time than they originally communicated to me would be quite frustrating. 

One e-mail did set me back a bit - basically, it seems that even if they have no evidence of wrong doing, they can imply that there was foul play.  The quote is below.  I had huge swings playing 1.5BTC a hand.  I almost lost it all, and went up quite a bit more than I am withdrawing.   

I'm still waiting for a 38BTC withdrawal.  I've been waiting for my first withdrawal since Saturday 3AM CST.  >36 hours at this point.

CasinoBitco.in delayed 21 BTC withdrawal - I e-mailed them and asked them if they could change it to 18 so I could play with 3 more BTC.

I made another HUGE run last night.  Went up 17BTC (from 3BTC).  I e-mailed them and they have temporarily removed 20BTC from my account while their security team is validating my blackjack play.  They've been in contact and responding to my e-mails / PMs.

Huge delay in withdrawal...   I've also posted in their thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=228243.msg11273495#msg11273495

Here is their latest response


I edited this post for clarity's sake.. I was jumbling up numbers and repeating words.
