Yea, the graphs and things are cool like I said, but having no idea when I would be getting paid or what my 24 hour return is (if I'm making money or not) is a weird way to hash.

You can compute the 24 hour return from the hash rate on any mining profitability calculator. I agree that seeing an estimate would be handy.

At least with BTC they show you right on your stats page what you are making within a 24hour period, payout info, all the necessary info there is. Eligius is more of a guess right now, no?

Yes, because it depends on the pool's luck.

Also, if I wanted a manual payout with Eligius I can't because they don't have it. Bitcoin raised up to $201 yesterday and I wanted to sell a few bitcoin so I did a manual payout with BTCGuild, could I have done that with Eligius or would I have to wait 3 weeks until their payout schedule catches up or whatever?

Eligius already pays you the maximum amount that is fair as soon as possible, with the exception of avoiding very small payments because they just make spending expensive. You cannot make it faster because it is already as fast as it can be. Revenue from blocks found is paid out as soon as it is earned by the pool, typically at the precise same instant.

Yea, confusing at the least. I guess that's where the BTC fee comes in. You are furnished with all the appropriate information almost on one page.

you just 25*(Hashrate/2^32)/difficulty  (that's per second)

You get 25 bitcoins in a block
in order to find a block, you need to hash (on average) n diff1 shares, where n is the difficulty
in order to find a diff1 share, you need to calculate (on average) 2^32  hashes.  

2^32 = the number of bytes in a 4 gigabytes.

Alternatively, you can just go look at the PPS rate on btcguild, and assume you'll be getting a few % more then that.

Yeah Right, your just saying that for the Attention.   ;-)

Good luck with it.

My replacement Boards (x 3) are expect at my house later today.

[Crypto_Cumbrian]

Got my Three replacement Boards for my underperforming Juipter.

Previously I had around 400Gh/s average (360Gh/s at BTC-Guild) over 25% HW errors.

Now

Average 540Gh/s (5sec Shows peaks of over 600Gh/s), BTC-Guild showing 507Gh/s.

Running 0.95 (will let it burn in for 24 hours).

*Noticed new boards all still Rev1. But had Labels on them all marked as G  (don't know what that indicates if anything).

bertmod Show all cores on all dies 100%.


Using Chill Factor 3 Thermal paste.

Will update tomorrow after 24hrs.

Miners should be sold with the warning,

You can never get all your Bitcoins back. Hoarding is safe and bitcoin deflation pays you better returns.

Sigh.

How do I detect which pcb is not working on bad miner.
Have I got RMA claim?
And how to remove boards from miner?

so I guess we should all just unplug & give up then, rats.

Firmware?
did you do enablecores?
vrm test?
Have you followed any of the steps?

[eurgbp2011]

v0.97 yes
enabledcores yes
what is VRM?
and how to test VRM?

[btc_uzr]

btw, meanwhile HF customers getting angry
Seems like KnC customers can be relaxed regarding diff jumps in november

HF is losing credibility fast. Lets hope this does not turn into yet another BFL, although it is sure starting to look like it.

As for me. When I ordered and paid for my BJ the words 'anticipated' and 'December 31' were not on the site/conditions. Those were added later. It simply stated 'Shipping starts October 20-30, in order of purchase'. Fact.

Well, I got an answer for the suggestion for upgrading the BJs orders into sierras:

It's the same exact email i got.
BS... bs everywhere.
Signed by their ceo, right? I even lost time replying.

Ok, i will move on legally.

edit:
might be xmas until they ship batch one (to 155 customer?)

its in the forum here, but usually, a slo board is meaning most likely that one of the vrm's are not snapped down fully.
instead of the heat dissapating to the top cover, it travels down & across to the asic & heats cores, causing the disabled cores.
there is a post on how to proceed, but it involves gently pushing them down, and rocking them sxs. a click heard means bingo, then wait & see

wasn't buying btc not *always* the better choice regarding profit?
where you in hope the asic gods would make it change ? pray harder !

some advantages of buying btc are:
-no fires, noise, heat
-no downtimes, maintenance
-no replacement parts and electricity bill reducing whether your amount of mined coins or forcing you put in additional fiat
-you can sell them in seconds, not like hardware

[btcusr]

@Phoenix1969, No, I mean I expected that I'll surely get the BTC invested, at least after a year of mining. May be some profit second year. I'm sure 99% of people would have thought the same.

Why anyone put their BTC in, when there's no way to take it out? To protect the network from 51% attack?!

As an example, I prefer running hardware with less profit over trading on exchanges.  

*edit: and I bought miners with fiat

My jupiter has a problem, one board work at half power (2 or 3 times works correctly but no more), seems to be a supply problem, I tried every firmwares and every patches but nothing. How can I test for supply problem?
thanks

the only thing you can measure easy is voltage (device ~$5) ,

but not how it behaves under load, therefore you have to spend quite some money
