Sounds great and price follows hashrate sooner or later. Look at Dash for example! I am buying the dips and promoting it to my friends. 2018 will be great for florincoin for sure! Lets promote it together on facebook, twitter and real life people! Smiley

Indeed Florin is still a solid coin and well supported by exchanges.

The exchange 'hitbtc' is now accepting BTG deposits; No new block seems to be found for a long time, so this is not easy to process a transaction.

Wallet -      This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications

what does this mean? I thought the official bitcoin gold client was all we needed?

I tried checking out version 0.15 instead of master from the github source, and that took the pre-relase message away.  However I'm still not syncing any blocks (ubuntu 14.04)



The last release of the branch 'master' seems to be the good one.

If you have trouble getting peers; opening the port: 8338 is helpful.

Full chain

Bad news :/ How can you sync faster? Is there a way to download the blockchain until the hard fork?

You can use the -bootstrap option, and use the 'connect=' option pointing to your regular bitcoin client.

hashrate on supanova is 0 right now

The sight states they are syncing to the blockchain. How long is that going to take? There is a way to use a bootstrap for this coin, right?

Option -bootstrap is implemented to 'sync' on the classical bitcoin nodes.

But my 'getpeerinfo' is still empty right now...

A function that is still missing with the last firmwares; is a proper 'start' of the ASICs that failed tests below a known temperature.

With the last firmwares the 3 ASICs of the same loop are disabled, and they are never turned on; We must disable the troublesome one, and wait for the temperature to rise.

We are in winter; Have you a fix for this issue?

It's looking more certain that what we've been seeing in our DC is a poor reaction of SP30s to temperatures below about 6°C. We haven't seen any issues with SP10s yet at these temperatures.
Some machines work fine at low temperatures. I've seen a few operate just dandy at intake temperatures as low as 2°C. However, others will show problems at intake temperatures as high as 8°C.

When a machine has trouble at low temperatures, it's often specific ASICs that show the problem (often #2 and #17). It's not always the ASICs in the front that have issues, though it seems more common to be those. Once an ASIC has trouble at low temperatures, it sometimes has trouble even when warmed up. Sometimes it has to be disabled permanently; other times it can be enabled once the machine is warmer.

Indeed, but a hardware to be reliable, must handle 25°C variation without too much trouble.Here at low temperature some ASICs can't start. It will be a good idea to add a 'delay' option for the troublesome ASICs where they are turn off during the cold start and enabled later. Adding an option to change the Fan speed according to the intake temperature, will be a good too idea too. (I suspect this issue to trigger some machines crashes when minergate restart).

We're investigating.

Have you an update about this issue? Anyway, outside a software fix, if a decoupling capacitor fix (or modification) is helpful; it will ease running the machines, and will be welcome; An idea?

I have had 39 SP30s running 2.5.12 so far for about 12 hours 16 minutes with no apparent issues. If I see no problems with 2.5.12 by next morning, I will probably move the rest of our machines over to it. Otherwise, I will probably move everything back to 2.4.23.

I've had a plethora of "disabled (bist cant start, stuck X)" errors on the remaining 100 or so SP30s we have running 2.5.6 in the mean time. It seems every few hours, I have to restart cgminer on 5% or 10% of our machines to get them back to full hashrate. Very annoying, but so far the issue has always been resolved by restarting minergate.

I've also had several reports of machines on 2.5.6 showing half hashrate at the pool even though I see full hashrate. These issues have always been restarted by a minergate restart.

I saw some much more serious problems on 2.5.7 during the 36 hours we had machines using that version. We saw about 10 machines get "Loop serial failed x" error messages (where x is a loop number, between 0 and 9 inclusive) and fail to start until one or sometimes two ASICs on that loop were disabled. After a few hours, many of these ASICs could be enabled again, but about 25% of the ones that failed are still non-operational. Currently, I think there are 9 ASICs which we lost on 2.5.7 which have not recovered.

It's possible that the potential ASIC-damaging bug in 2.5.7 might still be present in 2.5.12. I haven't seen any indications of it yet, but I also haven't had enough machines running on it for long enough to be certain. On 2.5.7, I saw the loop serial failed ASIC damage thing with about 5% of our machines per day. At that rate, there's only about a 63% chance that I would have seen it if it were present at the same rate in 2.5.12 with 39 machines running half a day.
It is now looking like the issues we've been seeing in our datacenter with the potential ASIC-damaging bug was not related to version 2.5.7 per se, but is instead temperature-related, and we only noticed it now because the temperatures in our DC only recently started getting really close to 0°C. Version 2.5.13 does not appear to fix these issues. Zvi is looking into it further.

The other two bugs were definitely firmware related, so you should still avoid 2.5.6 and 2.5.7.

Findings are still tentative and provisional, and investigation is ongoing.
Jtoomim, thank you for helping debug firmware issues we'll have problem recreating in Isarel Smiley
Also for keeping the miners in top condition.

Guy

The issue seems to be really temperature dependent; Indeed at low temperature (e.g. 5°C intake) some ASICs can't start and must be disabled. This is an hardware issue; anyway a good software fix may be to add an option to delay the activation of the problematic ASICs at the time, when the machine is at an acceptable temperature; And turn off these ASICs again when minergate restart to avoid machines crashes.

To continue on the disabled ASIC issue topic (following the 2.5.7 upgrade).

I've still two ASICs in a 'stuck' state; They operated again, for some time, a few hours ago; But, after a reboot the issue is back on the same ASICs.

If we consider there is no hardware damage (I hope so). Do you know, a reliable method, to get them in a deterministic and operational state?

5 out of 10 SP30's seem to have failed after about 10 hours with the new firmware 2.5.6
any suggestions?

Look in the Events tab. Post what you find.

Try disabling ASICs. First, disable all but one ASIC. See if it starts up. If it does, then try enabling a few more ASICs, then a few more, etc. Eventually, you may be able to isolate one or two ASICs that are causing the trouble.

If you see "Loop serial failed X" messages, then you can start by disabling loop X, then re-enabling those ASICs one by one. If you see that message, you should also let Zvi know (and preferably also me by Skype; my Skype ID is jtoomim).

You're welcome to contact me on Skype if you want more advice. Zvi's rather busy, and I'd be happy to help if I can until he can get his workload under control again.


Some ASICs can't be activated again. Is this the main sha256 chip that is affected, or a different hardware failure?


One of my ASIC came back to life. I suspect now, a chip undefined state, unaffected by the RESET signal. If this is really the case have you a trick (software, etc..) to set the chip in the proper state, and enforce the RESET sequence? May you fix this bug?

HELLO - October 28th 2014.

When are we expecting SP31 to ship?   Was one of the first orders (or close to) of October batch 1 - Still no email notification.  Please advise.   Thank You.

Same issue; I've no email notification yet.
