Re: [850 TH] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + VarDiff

Question. I have 3 gpu's is it worth pointing at this pool or should I stay with the alts?
With GPU's you are definitely not for BTC (or any other SHA256) mining at this point, no matter which pool.
Even if your power is free GPU won't get you enough for withdrawal any time soon and if you want to donate your work to some pool, then pick your own favourite.


thx for the quick reply. Smiley

BTW is the mining proxy only for this pool or is it configurable?

I believe that you have to recompile to change where the proxy points. But i might be wrong. There is a thread fro the Slush proxy.




This is the one i've been reading.

http://mining.bitcoin.cz/mining-proxy-howto

You can use it with any pool. Just run the exe with /? (if I'm not mistaken), to print the help. Then give it the necessary arguments to connect to another pool.
Thanks alot, I'll give it a go tomorrow.

I guess you running blades or cubes. I use two different methods, right now I'm using bfgminer as a mining proxy.
like this: bfgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u your.username -p minerpassword --http-port 8332 --api-listen
It's the --http-port flag that makes bfgminer to a proxy.

To mine at ghash with the mining_proxy made by slush: mining_proxy.exe -o uk1.ghash.io -p 3333

Re: Stratum Proxy Issue/Asicminer Erupter Blade Resarts...

Any luck with this? Do you mine with your blade right now and if so, what was the solution?

I got almost the same error. But my blade (that arrived today and is identical to yours,  AM BE rev 2.01) won´t even start to mine and then restart after 2m 15 sec. in an eternal 2.15 loop. (both ping and http dies and for about 3-4 sec followed by flashing led's on the board during reboot, EVERY 2.15 min)

I have plenty of cooling and also plenty of power (I hope... 300w for a single blade). I have to yellow and two blacks, just as a guide I followed showed me. The heatsink gets 32.1 and under the heatsink the chips gets about 31,4 C (with cooling on the heatsink side). With the fans switched of I can feel that the temp. raises but never checked with at thermometer without cooling, to scared to melt something :-)

This is how the config page looks like:

Anyone have an idea what's going on? I have tried stratum mining_proxy.exe from slush both on btcguild and at slush's pool and not a singel MH/s is produced yet, just the annoying restarts every 2.15 min......

Are the blade broken in som way? Not so fun to send it back from Europe and the wait for 2 month to get a new one, the ROI was bad enough if it had worked from today :-)

This is your GPU returning invalid hashes from it's kernel. This is because new drivers are crap for older cards.

- Uninstall AMD APP SDK

- Uninstall AMD Catalyst Install manager: choose "uninstall all software", make sure you have only a VGA driver after restart.

- Manually remove these files not removed by the installer; any other obvious ATI files with the same file date:
  C:\Windows\System32\amdocl64.dll
  C:\Windows\System32\amdoclcl64.dll
  C:\Windows\System32\OpenCL.dll
  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\amdocl.dll
  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\amdoclcl.dll
  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OpenCL.dll

- Install just the Catalyst 11.11 driver package (no SDK is needed; the AMD APP runtime is included with driver)

- Mine just a bit slower on your 6870 than a 5830 would.

Better:
- use cgminer
- set phatk worksize to 256 and underclock GPU RAM to 300MHz for best power efficiency and higher hashrate


Thank you so much!! I just reverted from my two "new" 6870 to my 5770 but it didn't work until I tried your magic recipe. I'll try with my 6870 tomorrow, might work as well.

Can I ask how much for a bfl-jalapeno in BTC? I paid with paypal in USD so it was less than one 7979

They are $250 whether you pay in USD or BTC.  I paid in BTC when the jalapeno was $150 and that was equal to 13.48 BTC.  At the current $115 per BTC it has cost me $1,550.  What a deal Smiley.  And I'm still waiting too.

Ops! Any hint when you will have yours? Do you know if the order number equals units reordered? (if you cut away the leading 1000)

I've ordered a jalapeno, but it's like 45 000 others waiting before me :-( I've had bought used radeons just to keep up in the meanwhile and I should be in the 750MH/s with those. I haven't had the time to set them up (only one of three are running now). And I can also crack ordinary pw-hashes with my GPU:s if needed. As I mention before, I don't do this for the money in the first place but money certainly talks :-)

Yeah, I now understand that ASIC is the only option here if you are in for the money. Lucky me that I don't do it for the money in the first place. I really wish I jumped the train a couple of years ago....

Re: precompiled CPU-miner with Stratum support? or help with rpcminer-4way

I just downloaded the source from https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer and followed the steps in windows.build
In one step (./configure) you just add --eneble-cpumining

I had some issues : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=182276.msg1902750#msg1902750

If you dont want to compile BFG yourself, take a look in my dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28421539/miner_cpu.zip

It works on CPU and even on GPU, but it's kind of unstable on my nvidia-GPU (not tested on my radeon-cards) so I don't use it on GPU's :-) Actually I've only tested it like 48 hours of CPU-mining then I found out that it's almost pointless to run if you don't have several hundreds of cpu-miners. But at least I had fun while compiling and test it.

Aha, thank you for clearing things out. This is the best part with beeing new, there is a lot to learn :-) I guess I got confused (and also frustated) when it took a round like 5 hours to finish.

longest time for a block?

I'm e mining-newbie but I've minded for a couple of weeks now. I've noticed that some blocks takes hours and hours to solve. Right now I'm with Slush's pool and this round is almost 4,5 hours now. Whats the longest round-time possible?

What's considered as a short, medium and  a long round time?

I've been mining just a short time, less than a month, but what a drama month.I've read loads of threads and documentation, just to learn and for fun. And then we have the epic happenings. First BTC climed to $266, then mtgox and slush got ddos:ed followed by a BTC drop, and then ddos again. BTC24 is still a mystery etc... then the hack on Slush's pool and now the phenomenal rescue of the pool.

The most overwhelming experience is that all (or most) users are so dedicated and I'm proud to be a "Slusher" too. I want to thank Slush for beeing so devoted to fix the bad  things. I promise you Slush, that your skills and professionalism affects the rest of us in a positive manner. Some complained on the lack of information, but think of how others in handle their communications (bsf btc24 mtgox etc). Slush deliverd just enough amount of information. Not to little and no waste on time with over-communication. All respect to you Slush!

Damn!! To me it sounds like an override of OVH password manager.... I hope you find out how they did. And I'm impressed by your respone-time on this hack.

And you sound like the hacker if you ask me...  Roll Eyes



Hope is all well Slush!

I'm taking that as a compliment, but I can asure you that I don't bite the one who feed me.

I did compile it myself and it works like a charm. Slow, really slow. But I really learned a lot of stuffs by compile myself :-) I can recommend everyone to compile your own. And take a look at the source, beautiful imho.

Slush score system, please explain
by
dellnull
on 21/04/2013, 22:06:14 UTC
I'm on slush's pool and as a newbie as I am, I can't figure how the score systems works. Can anyone give me a hint? I have one GPU and 3 CPU and the scores make no sence to me. It looks like that with a shorter time since last share = higher score. So with a slow CPU miner you don't get new shares in a quick steady stream and therefor your score decreases?
And how does the score affects the the reward?
