Today the social media campaign (which was made good) can really help your ICO (or any else product) to attract attention to itself. But I think the topic starter has already received answer to his question

Well, you should gain many followers and readers of your Instagram account, and when it become quite influential among your circle some of companies can request some advertising on your Instagram page  . BTW I saw here on forum interesting project (ICO) related to social marketing, maybe it will be interesting to you (you can check out my signature for details)

Well, when its just for density, I'd rather take a wooden board and cut some grooves ontop of it, gives me a place to put the FPGA boards for free.

Please, dont get me wrong here, I really like the whole idea of a modular assembly, but I just can't see the point in making a backpane that just serves as a mechanical mounting platform.

On other idea: if you plan to put an USB port onto every doughter card, wouldn't it be easyer, to forget about all that SPI and I2C busses and just route the individual USB conectors of the FPGA boards  to an USB hub onto the backpane, which will than connect to the host PC by only one USB port?

Well, thats exactly the point and it was mentioned before. The whole thing is meant to be cost effective, so who would invest in a backpane that serves no purpose? I mean people who would get such a card really dont care if they have to wire them up seperatly onto a usb hub for 5 bucks or on a backpane that will be 50 bucks or more, I'm pretty sure they'll go for the cheaper alternative, it the backpace doesn't add any kind of feauture... The only reason to design a backpane, would be if it had some additional functionality, nobody is going to buy it, if its just a nice way to stack up the doughterboards.
And as far as I see it, that fuctionality would be Ethernet!

I cant imagine implementing an ethernet controller is too hard for people that can programm FPGAs, for example for Arduino (which was mentioned before and although feautures SPI, I2C etc) there are readily available schematics and libraries just for that purpose: http://www.practicalarduino.com/freetronics/EtherTen-schematic-worksheet.pdf

btw, I have been following this thread from the beginning, but since I am only in my third semester of electical engineering, I really dont have to much to say about most of the specs you're discussing here, please dont get me wrong here, I really apreciate your effort but i really think you should consider to develope a backpane that gives people a reason to buy it in the first place.

I really dont think nations are DDoSing TPB, maybe some rouge parts of the media industry...
And I think its not kids DDoSing pools either, I can hardly imagine some script kiddies are in control of botnets big enough to do that... I think its a couple of guys that really know what they're doing (of course DDOS is bitchy and childish, but using a botnet to do mining is hardly something you can do by after reading "Hackers Black Book"...)
I think, there is a lot of money involved in this and of course a lot of rage after beeing banned...

Yeah, but the outcome for everyone in the pool is the same, more flips per hour, ultimately means more people to share with... Thats the whole point.
Of course your daily income might have gone up for now, but in the long run you earn exactly as much as you would by mining without a pool or in a 1Thash pool...

Well, I really don't think TPB should be considered "the standart" when it comes to availability... it's sometimes offline for 12 hours... the only reliable thing about TBP is, that it will always come back, even after being off for hours..

Hey there,
in my rig, i have three XFX 5870s on a MSI P7N Diamond. Running fine for three weeks now. But I have to admit, it's inside an old bigtower case with a couple of fans in the side panel and a 120mm fan in the Front thats blowing out hot air. Board is 100% stable though.

In my work PC, I recently had problems with my mainboard too. My 5 year old Intel DG956WH became unstable and finally broke, i think the northbridge heated up to much by the single 5870 directly beneath it. Now I bought a cheap Asrock P5B-DE, because I just got my Q6600 Intel quadcore some weeks ago, and didnt wanna go all the way to buy new processor, DDR3 memory and so on.... As a precaution I although installed two 120mm fans in the case. Hope the board will last another 5 years now

well, my ubuntu is 32bit and from what i read, things are little different within both versions...

please move this thread to the mining forum! thanks!

So you've all noticed the slight impact of my little ASIC Experiment? Will fire up the remaining identical clusters #2, #3 and #4 within the hour...

*bump*
Well, it seems that nobody is able to help me here, would someone please put this thread ito the mining Forum, I'm sure soneone over there will know what I did wrong! Thanks!

Hey there,
I wrote a little script to start my miners which looks like this:


The idea is, to start all three GPUs, with some delay to prevent a power surge. Although I am using two pools each, with different aggression to be on the safe site, if pools go down like they used to do last week. And because I'm still using phoenic 1.48, the script kills and restarts the whole process every two hours in case the miner crashes.
So far so good, this has been working fine for two weeks now.
Now I got a place to put up the rig in a Friends company office. (no heat and noise for me and although kWhs are much cheaper for businesses )

To be make the rig absolutely stable, I now wanted to put my script into Ubuntus Startup applications, so that I can just call there and ask my friend to hit the reset button in case the system hangs up completely for whatever reason.

I put the following line into the startup-applications menu:

But when I reset my system now, I get the following outut in the terminal that is supposed to run the script:

Can Anyone tell me, why that is? I speculate it has to to with permissions (maybe the gnome-startup doesn't have the same permissions as I do, when i manually call the script?

Thank you guys!

Yeah, in my flat, I depend on good old 1960s electric heating during the winter. If it was winte rnow, I would break even with my rig much faster... Heating costs me about 200€ during the cold months. Would have been nice, if someone hab told me about bitcoin half a year ago.
