Re: [OPEN IN-STOCK SHIPPING] batch #25/26 .105 btc USB + 3.0 btc Blade miners
Canary, I understand I can receive a free backplane if I order 10 blades, but is there any way I can purchase a backplane with my order of 1 blade?
10/01/2013: today is my bday and to celebrate: every order of 7 blades gets a free backplane. blades are 3.0 btc USB miners are .105 btc
-edit: prices are good for today only. blades are likely to go back up. Due to Chinese Holidays, there are no more shipments for a solid week+ whatever inventory resellers have is what will be sold for a while. I hope to run out
Happy Birthday! Hope it's been a good one.
Re: BFGMiner 3.2.0: modular ASIC/FPGA, GBT, Strtm, RPC, Lnx/OpnWrt/PPA/W64, BE Blade
I'm running BFGMiner 3.2.0 against the Eligius pool. I have just reached enough hashing power where I think I could benefit from raising the difficulty of work units handed out by the pool. I have gone and told Eligius to hand out a minimum difficulty of 2.0 work units. I have run for a while and the work units continue to be difficulty of 1.0. So I decided to try the '--request-diff 2.0' argument. However, the pool is still handing out difficulty 1.0 work units.
Since BFGMiner is the recommended for Eligius I'm surprised that neither methods are working.
Is this a bug in BFGMiner?

Will open up Miner #2 if the interest continues 
Down to 3 shares in Miner #1 - 40 shares in Miner #2
Down to 3 shares in Miner #1 - 40 shares in Miner #2
Have you already ordered miner #2 or are you waiting until it's funded? Has HashFast sold all their preallocated miners at this point? I'm asking since they are delivering in purchase order. The later its purchased the longer it will be until it can mine.

Can somebody please provide the calculations on this investment
showing ROI after Increased difficulty and October/Early November delivery?
showing ROI after Increased difficulty and October/Early November delivery?
I've been pondering the same thing. The question you have to ask yourself is what do you think the average rate of difficulty increase you expect to see? To me it seems that we are entering explosive difficulty growth. The next difficulty increase to hit looks to be about 30%. If that is sustained you are looking at 50-60% growth per month. While not perfect I found a good calculator I like to use. It would be nice if it did more than monthly difficulty increases but it's close enough for rough numbers.
You can find it here: btcinvest calculator
I plugged some numbers in and assuming 50% difficulty growth per month you would get about a 66% return on your .15 btc invested over one year. ROI would be achieved after nine weeks of hashing assuming it starts on November 1. So you are looking at ROI, with these assumptions, by January 1.
You can find the calculator with the parameters I used here: btcinvest assumptions.
The two major factors here are of course delivery time and difficulty.
I'm very tempted to jump in on this. I'll probably make a decision early next week but wouldn't be able to get funds for many days.

Wow. I didn't realize that the current 30 day average was 75%. It looked to me it was more in the 60% range. Anything north of 65% quickly becomes a money pit. Thanks for showing me that.
What changes this is BTC price.
IMO fair value is over 125USD per share and quickly becoming justified to hit the 200+ range.
Another way to look at it is get in get out with long term holding. I want to get back my capital as quickly as possible and then get as many bitcoins as possible from that investment. Lather, rinse, repeat. That of course doesn't work if you can't get it back out.
But I think we are now well off topic. This is the last I have to say on the matter.

Re: .10 promotion from ASICMiner distribution by CanaryInTheMine
are Eligius Pool store orders getting an email?
yes, Eligius will be done via email only, tied to their respective orders. not on forums.Have these been sent out? If they have I haven't gotten it yet.
Re: Group buy 500 GH/s Bitcoin Miner BitForce 500 GH/s Mini Rig SC 1btc per share
I reserve the right to modify this before the unit is purchased in case btc fluctuates and we are short to pay BFL (deficiency would be spread equally among participants)
If it fluctuates to such a degree that one decides not to provide additional funds what will happen at that point?
Since you are willing to take more BTC when the exchange rate goes lower are you willing to pay back additional amounts when the exchange rate goes higher?
Re: USA/Canada [Group Buy #1 193/50] ASICMiner Erupter USB 2.03496 each @ 5 units
The h/w errors are kinda high. What is your longer run average of "hw/(accepted+ rejected)"?
Been running for about 10 hrs now, got:
A: 2792
R: 0
HW: 26
So about 1% HW errors. I have a USB fan pointed at the device. It is warm to touch, but bearable. Using a infrared thermometer, it reads about 92F at the hottest spot. Ambient temp is about 75F.
I finally got a USB fan to point at them and while cooler it's only lowered the error rate about 1% to around 2.5-3%. Disappointed the fan didn't do more. Oh well.

Tell my little miners to work faster so they can have a new brother or sister.
Unfortunately, it's going to be awhile given the recent difficulty increase.
Re: USA/Canada [Group Buy #1 193/50] ASICMiner Erupter USB 2.03496 each @ 5 units
Did anyone receive an extra miner by any chance?
Negative.

Love my 10 miners (using Dynex hub)! Hashing away per screenshot below along side my Diamond 7970...
...
...
Once I got everything working I'm pretty happy. Wish I could get a few more. Oh well.
I don't know why mine seem to be hashing faster than everyone else's. I've been out of the mining business for some time so I'm not sure what is normal. I'm not using any special arguments on the command line. Maybe that's why?
http://s15.postimg.org/bacxvqay3/cgminer3_1.png
arguments that you are using? what speed does pool report?
slush's has something like this, "Average hashrate in last 10 rounds: XXXX Mhash/s"
As stated in the original message, "I'm not using any special arguments on the command line." In other words I was just using the -S command. The pool reported similar numbers. I have since added the "--icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100" arguments and it is now showing the approximate 333Mh/s. I was averaging about 4% error. Now I am averaging about 3.5% error. I'm not using any type of active cooling.

Re: USA/Canada [Group Buy #1 193/50] ASICMiner Erupter USB 2.03496 each @ 5 units
I just got a package. I shook the box and thought... umm... is there anything in there?
There isChristmas has arrived!
must have been packed very well then! There isChristmas has arrived!
Indeed they were!
Now I'm having a heck of a time getting cgminer to use them.
Running Debian linux. They show up in lsusb. I have put the udev rules in place. Added myself to the plugged group.
I only get:
"Icarus detect (2:7) failed to initialize (incorrect device?)"
Compiled from tip of master.
Thoughts anyone?
Looks like cgminer 3.2 isn't up to snuff talking to the USB devices directly. Checked out 3.1.1 and managed to get it working talking to them over a serial device.

Anybody get these mining on a Mac yet? How is it done?
If you're not able to get it done with cgminer via homebrew you might consider installing linux via VMWare Fusion or Parallels until it can be done elsewhere.

They're all here and all are fine.
it's 4:37 PM here, I've got a few hours to hit the Post Office, so will get some out today.
The bad thing is that they all are black in color from the looks of it. The good thing is that they're all black in color, so no one is going to nag at me for not getting the colors they wanted! hehehehe

Are all the ones you were able to send today listed as tracking number sent?
You're the best Canary!
