I am not sure what the benefits would be for viewing your balance/profile page over SSL when the page is publicly accessible.

For protecting my mining address from passive observers.

Luke/wk I would be happy to pay for a semi-private TLS endpoint for those more conscious of their privacy needs.

Hi - any chance of getting an SSL certificate for eligius.st?  I would like to be able to view my balance/status over SSL, if possible.  Also, it would be nice to mine over SSL if software supports this.  I am happy to fund this SSL cert just let me know via PM.

Cheers,

Re: 100BTC Casascius bar S1 Hologram error--- 500BTC bar 1 of 2 ever made by Mike C.

The hologram error and/or the bar itself has a value in USD, not in BTC.  I would be interested to know what price BTC/USD was at when someone paid for a 100BTC hologram error series 1 bar for 335BTC.

not sure what you're expecting here.  Nobody is going to pay 300 BTC for a 100 BTC bar - the added value of the hologram error is maybe worth 2-3 BTC *at most* (if that) - so a max price of 102 or 103 is far more reasonable.  You've already had an offer of 102.5, maybe you should take that and accept the 2.5 BTC profit.

sounds like the OP logged in as a different user, or Windows created a new profile because it was corrupted.  Probably the old wallet.dat is around on the HD somewhere else.

Try searching in C:\Users for another directory

i think your burning questions are worth asking, especially the ones about the future of the product lineup and when the full speed miners will ship, etc.

it would be good to know when they are getting the new boards and which batch(es) will have them - e.g. will some february batches, or march batches?

Also, whether it would be possible for existing customers with 1.4Th rigs to upgrade to the 2Th - e.g. by mailing in the device - ideally crossmailing so no hash rate is lost.  It seems like once they get the old rigs in they should be able to pretty easily upgrade them in house at little cost, as long as they can remove the chip and put it on the new boards...

Cheers,

I wrote an entire monitoring agent for the cointerra machines.  Full integration with mobile phones.  I have several feature requests I am adding.

https://github.com/dprophet/cointerra-monitor/

Hey - I actually found your stuff before I spent the five minutes writing mine, but I just found it too complex.  Probably more useful for someone who wanted far more monitoring.  All I wanted was for them to reset when the chip went down.

Keep up the good work!

for those with slightly unreliable cointerras, I've written a very small script based on the cgminer reference python that monitors and restarts cgminer, it's really simple so not sure why I'm bothering to share but let me know if it's useful

http://pastebin.com/ZgyV0D3q

you need to install sshpass (apt-get install sshpass)

to use, just run cointerra.py and it will check the status and restart cgminer - I put it in a loop with a 2 min sleep or something.

We have recently updated our TerraMiner User Guide, along with the most recent firmware.

They are both available for download here: http://cointerra.com/user-guide/ .

We appreciate any feedback on the user guide, so feel free to email techsupport@cointerra.com with any suggestions.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Team CoinTerra


ah - you used my arp trick Smiley

try turning it off and on then going to your PC and typing 'arp -a' to list IP addresses your PC has seen - and it might be there.

I just got my two TerraMiner IVs yesterday (early January batch).

if you don't mind me asking, what rough order number and date did you have for your Jan batch delivery, and how long did it take to go from "Shipping Preparation" to "Shipped"?

Just got my cointerra unit in today, went to configure it and the web access page is password protected. No documentation came with my unit at all, and the cointerra website FAQ says nothing about what the login info is. Cointerra isn't answering their phones either, I'm really mad right now...

try this username:root password:cointerra I dont know if it will work for the webpage but it should work for SSH some one mentioned this few pages before

the password for the web interface is username:admin password:

the password for SSH is username:root password:cointerra

I find best results by just editing the cgminer.conf in /Angstrom/Cointerra and then restarting cgminer via the web interface, but YMMV.

Fark, I got this thing running but I can't connect to it since it doesn't show up in the DHCP list, someone on the cointerra forums said they had the same issue and had to scan the whole network to find the unit.  Does anybody know what the default IP address is or is this thing supposed to do a DHCP request?!

Re: 12 (2 T/hash) early Jan CoinTerra order.

Well it looks like I'm just going to be keeping these unless I get at least $11,000 for them. These will mine for months after the others are too pricey cuz of electricity.

I best call out the power guy I guess and run a bunch of 220!  Smiley



Good luck to you.

Thanks. The hardest part so far was telling the guys I need normal plugs for the 220. In the USA we use these crazy large plugs for 220 most of the time.

Watch out here - they use 'crazy large plugs' for a reason - because running 30A at 240V needs higher gauge connectors and cables than normal US 110V 5A.  Watch you don't burn your house down!  I ended up paying over $600 for some quality power cables and splitters that ran on NEMA 6-20, well worth it.

So, is it known how to use these things to mine?

Easy to set up?

Anyone know how to do this?

I would be new to ASICs.

Links would be awesome. Thanks

No instructions with mine, but it was pretty easy to get up and running - just SSH into the box once you see it appear in your dhcp leases - credentials are username:root password:cointerra - then you edit the cgminer.conf in /Angstrom/Cointerra and add your pool info.

You can do it via the web interface too, but I found editing the files to work more reliably.  Let me know if you need any help setting it up via PM.

FWIW two cointerra rigs arrived today at my hosting facility and are now hashing away.  No tracking number, they just arrived.

december batch?

Yes, early December batch.



for proof.  Got a few more expected over the next few days.

There is a little new information in Ravi's quote:

Quote
Another key thing to note,” added Iyengar, “is that our GoldStrike1 ASIC itself is very high performance and meets and exceeds the published spec. It is the board level power circuit inefficiencies which reduced the overall performance marginally. However, as stated above we are getting closer and closer to the spec with improvements that we are doing on the board."

So perhaps they were accurate when they reported their 132 GH/s/die. If true, I'm guessing the tinkerers out there will be able to get plenty of further performance out of the under-speced units, much like October KNC units.

of course it's possible, but highly speculative, that they have decided to do a quick board redesign before they ship the first December units - I think the turnaround on a new board could be just a few days if they really act quickly.  This would explain the delay in shipping the first units.  This is just complete guesswork though.

Will

turning around a new board doesn't take time.  what takes time is buying new components that weren't in the old board.  that could be weeks.

im assuming that any tweaks that they can make to the hardware and software are with the existing board and are tweaks that could be made to any of our boxes (possibly even after they've shipped them to us)...  and they said that a later batch (march?  april?) will get the benefit of the next board design that is completely different...  and that probably also explains why they continue to claim 2 TH/s on their web site (because they're selling the may batch which is far enough away that they know they will have finished their tweaking, AND had a new board in production by then)

I'm still optimistic that the tweaks they can make will improve the box further and get it closer to the goal.  since two weeks ago when it was 1.5 TH, and last week when the 1st customer got one hashing at 1.7 TH thats already a decent improvement.. and if we can get the benefit of further tweaks it could be 1.75 or 1.8 before long.


Sure, I agree with you but I'm just not sure it can fully explain the further delays in getting the first Dec units shipped, other than an attempted redesign... after all if they work on the firmware they can always roll out firmware updates afterwards, like KNC did.

I also agree that by the time they ship units that people are paying for now, they will reach the 2Th, so putting 2Th on their website isn't disingenuous at all.
