Re: [Antminer S1 open for sale again] The last round before the Chinese New Year

It's actually pretty interesting, you can estimate your position in the order queue based on their BTC address.
https://blockchain.info/address/1QB8Ds5KbGYBLQa5RyDQ2sVUeSKWf7qgkZ
You can see 55 transactions of 2.4BTC into it on the 11th from the last sale.

After the increase, there was a bunch of transactions for multiples of 2.65 (and what I believe to be a 4 part transaction for 31.8 or 12 units), totaling 31 (+12) for a total of 43 units at 2.65.

You then see the big increase after the price drop, at this time 81 multiples of 2.2 (plus one of 3.3 without a corresponding 1.1). There's two transactions of 22BTC that could be 500 U1 orders or 10 S1 orders, and of course small orders could make up a single 22BTC U1 order, though I think it's unlikely that someone who paid in multiple transactions would do it in exact multiples of 2.2 If I had to guess, I'd say at this point they've sold 61 S1s and 1000 U1s since the price drop.


looks like they have 479 orders paid for based on todays spike BTC received (695 at time of this post ).

I believe it reports the time Mt. Gox provides.  Clark Moody just puts it into a format to evaluate.

Sounds good, if the price is right & you can use your current rig.

Network hashing rate is just now above the previous high (currently 28.070 Thash/s).  I need to see 100 Thash/s from ASIC's before thinking "ASIC's are here".  That could occur in 2 weeks or 2 months.  Many were posting the imminent death of GPU's 6 months ago.

5210 shaders is wrong. It's 5120 (2560 x 2)
This is still annoying me.  Shocked

Finally fixed that.  You referred to shaders which initially thru me off.  The translated website does list it as 5120 SP.

Re: GUI mining - updated Dec 3 with 7970 bugfix, also supports Stratum!
by
monsterblitz
on 10/12/2012, 17:10:29 UTC
Hi guys,

I was under the impression that GUI miner now supports Phoenix & phatk, but when I click on it as stated in the guide I get an error message saying it's unsupported - am I missing something? Running the latest version....

Cheers.


Changelog:
20121203
- Update poclbm with bugfix for issue #54

20121118
- Update poclbm to latest miner including Stratum support.
- Fix rejected/stale counter not incrementing properly.
- For solo mining, accept bitcoin-qt.exe or any other *.exe file for client instead of just bitcoin.exe.
- For solo mining, add option to set bitcoin data directory, in case it's not in the default location.
- Remove Phoenix 1 support since it's no longer maintained.


You will need to use an older version.  It appears the guide has not been updated.

Think these will be available before ASIC's?  Cheesy

http://www.techspot.com/news/51013-dual-gpu-amd-radeon-hd-8990-specifications-leak-online.html

"This monster card is listed as having 5.1 billion transistors (between the two GPUs), 5,210 stream processors 5120SP and 160 texture units per core. The 8990 is also listed as having 48 ROPs per core and a pair of 384-bit buses. Memory is expected to be anywhere in the range of 6GB to 12GB and should be clocked from the factory at 1,250MHz. Each GPU will ship running at 950MHz, according to the roadmap."

5120 stream processors... little too late to the game, but that would been fun to mine & game with.

According to the manual, it like 6 slots, but I could be wrong.

Slots
  2x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots
  1x PCIe 2.0 x16 slot
  - PCI_E7 supports up to PCIe x4 speed
  4x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots
  - When PCI_E4 is installed, PCI_E3 will be no function.

PCI_E1  x1
PCI_E2  3.0x16
PCI_E3/PCI_E4  x1 (shared)
PCI_E5  3.0x16
PCI_E6  x1
PCI_E7  2.0x16

Re: I'm terrified, I lost all my savings in mtgox.

June 1 made a withdraw (international wire transfer) amount to nearly $ 9000.
So far, not received this amount at all, nor any response from mtgox on my query.

I am a teacher, I invested all my legal savings + a small% mined BTC on mtgox exchange.
Why I have no information when I get my last transfer?
Is it so hard to at least answer the simple question?

I do not know what to do. Mtgox not respond to my letters.

Panda Mouse.

Didn't anyone ever teach you not to place all your eggs in one basket??

even my measly $340 can't be paid by mtgox, so i think your fucked.

ASIC quality?

I am a 7970 owner with 1x 7970 and 1x 5850 for mining.

What exactly is ASIC and ASIC quality?




quick search found me http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33986550


Quote
GPU-Z's newest version(v0.5.8) has an ASIC qaulity reading that when used gives your card a score. Right click on top left corner, scroll down and select Read ASIC quality...

 My Gigabyte 7970 gets a 70.9%.

Re: Radeon HD 7950 - 1792 Stream Processing Units
by
monsterblitz
on 03/02/2012, 17:47:56 UTC
The wiki currently lists a 7970 with 650MHash/s at 1100MHz.

The 7950 has 87.5% of its Processing Units which equates to 568.75MHash/s at the same core clock (MHz).

Is this calculation valid?

I know from reading website reviews they reported the 7950 is not built as strong as the 7970 (pcb,fan).  That could be a factor in getting the same core clock.

Re: Where does an air conditioner intake the heat from inside the room?
by
monsterblitz
on 23/10/2011, 17:11:28 UTC
Hi,
I have a conditioner in my server room but I have a curiosity regarding it - well more than a curiosity. I want to know how it's working.

My concept of a conditoner is that it blows cool air in that has been refrigerated and takes the hot air out of the room to refrigerate it. The cycle repeats so the air is always being recirculated rather than bringing in fresh air from outside.

When I put my hand up to the indoor unit I can feel the cool air being blown out but I can't understand where the hot air is being sucked out... Huh


The air intake is usually much larger and likely has a filter.  For most window units it's the lower half of the front in which there is a door for access to the filter. 

And on another tangent, clogged filters reduce air flow which can cause the cooling fins to form ice.  This reduces airflow even more & could eventually completely freeze over.  The filter is there to keep the dust from blocking the cooling fins, which would lead to the same problem.

Eligius pool announcements

The pool is back up, but balance stats will be inaccurate for some time, and shares might be lost during intermittant database corruption.

It is recommended to setup failover to another pool for the time being, as we may be making changes to avoid possible long-downtime in the future, and that has at least a risk of breaking stuff on and off.

Recent outages seem to be probable hardware failures. We expect to have a replacement server online tomorrow.


Posted in case site is down.

It's Monday here already and still haven't got the EU server payout. The arrangements should've been clearly outlined on the websie from the begining (before the EU server shut down) and then updated with any changes. I'm done mining with Eligius - it's a f*king joke with pretty graphs.

Seems he had a family emergency.  Also, while it was up the site listed a note to setup a backup miner & to expect downtime until they have fixed the problem.
