Well, i do think they will ship some units. They already shipped them to some users. The problem i think is they don't have enough capacity to produce the required number of units.

Also, see:

Everyone and their mom wants a piece of the asic action.

Check the temperature

Get a laser thermometer, they are cheap nowdays and they work wonders for assesing the amount of heat a component produces.

How much hashing power does a mining rig need for solo mining. 500 Gh/s ?.

See this:

Maybe it would, but this is highly dependant on luck.

why cgminer crashes on windows 7 with my 7970m...every time after 2minutes i start it

What's your GPU temperature? Maybe you OC-ed the GPU too much

it looks like yacoin didnt happen, the developer went quiet but people found the gitbhub and started compiling and mining it anyway, its gone from a average of 1 new coin every few days to 1 a day or even more

With 0 or any reason to do so except maybe wishful thinking so a pump-and-dump scheme can be done.

yes, I mean an Asic circuit commected usb with pc, like an usb pen. It is possible assembling 10 or 20 avalon chip. In the forum you can find a lot of discussion about "custom asic miner"

Check out ASICMINER USB chips

Re: Do it yourself FPGA mining rigs

Where can I find a decent DIY guide for building a FPGA mining rig ?.

You can't FPGA is not your run of the mill GPU setup. The best course of action would be to buy a reputable FPGA design, but i would judge against that, get a ASIC or use GPU's to mine, because you can easily resell gpu-s

Re: p2pool not reporting hash rate
by

Hello!

I have an issue with p2pool not reporting any hash rate at all for bitcoin and approximately 100 times slower hash rate for litecoin mining. I also posted on litecoin forums: https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php?topic=2594.0, see some screenshots.

I have set up my own p2pool node (trying ~3 guides). After installations, I started my client in server mode, started p2pool node and seen the output about shares etc.
After this, I can make a connection to my own p2pool node with cgminer/poclbm, BUT even though the miner connects and reports a hash rate, p2pool.exe reports 0H/s local hash rate, even after testing for ~10 mins.

If I run p2pool.exe --net litecoin to run the litecoin p2pool node, I can connect to the node but the node shows only a small fraction of the speed what my cgminer shows (see link above). However, if I connect to my litecoin node with cpuminer (minerd) the hashrate is properly reported. Huh

Any hints what this issue might be? Had this problem for weeks now and I set up my own server using Ubuntu, and have the same issue there as well. Also reinstalled the python and other p2pool required packages, still no success.

PS. I know my hashrates are low, BUT nevertheless, this shouldn't matter. Why does p2pool report the correct hashrate for my slow CPU minign and not for my GPU mining for litecoins? Why does it not work with bitcoin at all?

Also, I can mine on other pools successfully.

Help would be very much appreciated!

Did you try mining for half and hour so the hashrate stabilizes?  Is your user/pass/host/port for worker correct?

Have you set your intensity, worksize, gputhreads setting ? Which card are you running?

I would definitly suggest running a scrypt coin, overall you will get more return.
scrypt coin??

Litecoin, FeatherCoin, CHNCoin and similar are scrypt based coins.

See this: http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

Here's a good friendly CHNCoin pool: https://pool.chn.co.in
