Re: Einsteinium Algorithm Vote, FINAL DECISION FOR CHANGE - PoW or PoS?
POS but still keep a percentage of minted coins for donations to science, and a donation button in the wallet with the ability to set amount of coins to stake for donations
Re: [ANN][EMC2] Einsteinium | Funding the future with the future of currency
I've been busy and missed the discussions going on here. I vote for a 80% POS and 20% POW if that is possible, or full POS sticking with the same percentage going towards funding the science projects. Maybe the possibility to donate within the wallet, def the ability to vote for the projects within the wallet with the amount of coins held adding weight to your vote. There needs to be some sort of notification system within the wallet to alert users to vote, and to send out news so people dont have to go to the website or here to be updated. I would love the ability to say stake this amount of my coins towards the projects when the coins mature.
I would love to see the exchanges get on board, helping to alert users to vote for projects also.

For some reason my units are dropping like flies. In the past 24hr three units have burned the USB ferrite bead. I can't seem to make any connections for why this is happening, one unit has VOLT mod 1; two bridges, has been running for a month. The other two have "R-52 or R139" mod with 47k and 50k resistor, also been running stable for a month. None of the units shared the same USB hub so I crossed that off the list of possible failures, two shared the same power supply but the ferrite bead that burned is for the USB hense 5volts so not sure if that would have mattered. I am lost finding any correlations between the units that failed, possibly just a coincidence or a weak part, but its suspicious that 3 have failed in the past 24. We shall see, now have to order new parts and wait to get them back online.
Could just be fate
Are you using one of those crappy LED power supplies? Could be the cause and a sign that it's about to crap out and ruin all your miners.
I'm using high grade clean switch mode power supplies. Never use cheap crap power bricks or LED power supplies. LED's don't care about high ripple. Seeds do!
Remember, warm seeds are better than cooked seeds
Good luck!
This seems to be hppening to me as well.
It started today. Out of my 10 units, 3 have dropped out on me.
All have the 49.9k Mod.
I am using a 1200W Gold rated power supply, PCIE connectors to run them.
They have been going along perfectly for a few weeks now, until today.
Now I have 3 dead soldiers.
I run them remotely, so I won't be able to look at them until tomorrow.
But...something is going on here....I'm a bit worried about the other 7......
@Firebird2000 and @poopypants ...:
Could both of you measure the voltage on C42 ( DVDD ) and POST it back...?
Check the dead ones too...
ZiG
Sure give me a little when I get home, Ill post.
FireBird2000 is it the USB ferrite bead? FB25, that burned? Cause that is what happened to mine. One is still running, after the transplant from the other units FB26.
Is it possible to set per chip frequencies with the V3G build? And is their any planned updates to this sandor111, to implement some of the features you have been building for win/linux, such as the autotune save to config feature? Or is the project considered done with and no more updates for the TP-link "lightningasic" controller?
Has anyone figured out how to build sandors current github for the OpenWRT tp-link? I would love to hear how you did it as I was hoping by now asiabtc would open this up since the features are out in the open now and on github, but doubt that he will ever. I already have everything setup with the TP-link and would like to still use it instead of migrating to my linux box that is currently tasked with another project.

That sucks. Very strange also. 3 different mods, 2 different power supplies. Same part blown on 3 boards. Tell us more about the power supplies you have.
Both power supplies are the 30amp LED power supplies, I have checked with a multimeter the barrel plugs for each unit, and steady 12.4 volts. The ferrite bead is the one next to the USB plug on the board labeled FB26. Does anyone know if FB25 is the same as FB26, I would like to try to desolder FB25 from one of them and plug it into FB26 to see if it starts hashing again before I order parts. Are ferrite beads directional or can they be placed any which way? Any tips on a way to check to see if they will hash without the bead, IE jump the pads just to check if they will hash? Thanks in advance for replies, I am frustrated about the death of 3 and am worried it may domino to the rest if it is something else not just a coincidence.
First check a continuity test on ur board between 12+ and 12- and USB power +/- if you see any short between them , there will be no point to solder another FB, because it will blow again. If u do find a short between any of ur 12v and 5v rail , report back. I assume u own a basic multimeter .
PS: because of ur blown FB you will not be able to use USB socket pin to check the continuity . best thing probably to check from one of the pad for BLOWN FB to ground.
Could you explain a little further how to check the power.
Make sure ur gridseed is not powered on. Take off the 12v plug from gridseed. Set ur voltmeter to continuity test mod. Put the red prob from volt meter to blown FB pad(one at a time) and put your black prob to fan's black cable. Does it make any sance to u?
You should get 2 result. Both should indicate no continuity at all.
Alright so I salvaged one unit by taking FB25 from the other burnt out board and using it for FB26 in the first. At first it didn't start hashing again until I hit the reset button and then it worked. I did not see any shorts using the multimeter to check on that board so hopefully it will continue to work. The other board has a short between FB23-24 shorted to FB27, not intirely sure where it is shorted but cross checking with a good unit, those are not suposto be connected. I am going to have to look through the brd file to see where a short could happen between those pads. The third one I also found no shorts like the first, but am going to have to wait to get the new ferrite beads in before I can try that one again. I think the 2nd one will just end up bricked unless I can locate the short or someone else chimes in that has had that problem and figured out a fix for it. Thanks for the replies and help, and hopefully when I get the proper parts I can get the third back up and hopefully no more decide to shit the bed.

Re: [PRE-ANN] - The WhiteCoin Foundation - Community Planning & Discussion
How to unlock the wallet?I have only option "Change password"
Go to help, debug window, click console tab, the type ..... walletpassphrase yourpassword 10000 true
the number is how many seconds you wish to keep the wallet unlocked.
Thanks poopypants! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun project and I hope it helped people. I certainly learned quite a bit in the process.
It looks like it will probably be one of my last as newer miners seem to be coming out in rack mountable versions. Ultimately that is a good thing as it will quickly allow you to deploy and operate over figuring out how to house and wire but it does take away a little of the fun/hobbyist perspective.
Have my eye on the KNC Titan or the Flower Tech Lilac

Same... some of the other ones look next to impossible to ROI unless a major uptrend happens.
Observations:
Could have made the case longer and still fit in the rack. A longer case would be about enough room for 10 miners with fans on each row. 40 miners total.
Each power supply is more than enough to power 10 miners dual mining and one 10 port USB hub.
Case has enough room to fit 5 power supplies and about 5 USB hubs.
I will not be building this up further as newer (much) more powerful rack mountable scrypt miners are soon to be released. These 5 chip gridseed miners are too much of a pain to wire up and rack.

will this mod work with hashra controla?
The mod will work for any mining software, you just need to change the chip frequency.Nervous to attempt, but an extra 100 khsh across 20 miners translates to an extra 2Mhsh. Anyone want to share any best practices aside from OP?
I did the 49.9k mod on all 14 of my gridseeds and I'm glad I did. I'm running CPUminer and all of my chips are stable at 1200mhz and up. The pool and CPUminer and both reporting very close to each other so I'm happy!!
Thanks for the follow up; can you list the tools/hardware you used and your new hash rate? Also if possible, anyone know the page in thus thread where I find the 49.9k mod offhand?
Go here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=575315.0#post_VMOD3 for good pictures and a nice writeup of the steps you need to take. Good luck.
