Which means that my loss was actually 20.2%, of GOOD noncesвЂ¦Д®xternallly it looked like 0.2%вЂ¦ but internally (something you cannot see without an internal probe) it was >20%Д«etter you actually UNDERSTAND what you are talking about, before commentingвЂ¦. wayвЂ¦way over clocked, the вЂerrorвЂ™ rate was 0.2%, that is to say out of 1000 nonces produced 2 were badвЂ¦Д«UT on checking with chipscope, I found that the over clocking was setting the high bit on during the comparison to meet the diff1 over 20% of the timeвЂ¦

The ONLY way you can measure it is to have a device that processes exactly the SAME work at a much slower rate to compare againstвЂ¦ The problem with over clocking is that you do not know how many QUALIFYING nonces you are trashing.

You could have a device capable of 3TH/s but if it produces ZERO matching nonces it is WORSE than a device running 300mh/s that produces three nonces. Posted in hardware Tagged bitcoin, bitcoin mining, Block Erupter Post navigationДЄll that matters is the NUMBER OF NONCES produced that meet/beat the difficulty. He recommends a 14 or 16 MHz crystal, netting a new speed of either 392 MHz or 448 MHz for a stable mod.

It must be noted the 560 MHz figure comes from replacing the 12 MHz crystal with a 20 MHz one, and this mod only lasted about 20 minutes on вЂ™s bench until the magic blue smoke was released. Effectively, heвЂ™s running two Block Eruptors for the price of one with the potential to actually make back the purchase price of his hardware. By changing out the 12 MHz crystal connected to the ASIC and fiddling with the voltage with a trim pot, was able to overclock the ASIC core from 336 MHz to 560 MHz. Inside, he found a custom ASIC chip, an ATTIny2313, a USB UART converter, and a voltage regulator for the ASIC. begins his tutorial with a teardown of the Block Erupter hardware. This speed isnвЂ™t enough for some people, like who overclocked his Block Erupter to nearly twice the speed. Now, hardcore miners are moving on to custom ASIC chips like theВ Block Erupter, For around $100 USD, you too can mine Bitcoins at 300 MH/s with 2.5 Watts of power and a single USB port. 09160374 (currently 0.00053247 BTC)Д«ased off of the current NMC exchange rate, my erupters have generated a total of 0.03101768-BTC in under 100 days.ДЄt the current BTC/USD exchange rate of $578.86, I've been able to generate $17.96 USD.The name of the game in mining Bitcoins isnвЂ™t CPUs, GPUs, or even FPGAs. Altogether, a daily profit of about $0.15 per day USD.Д¤xUSB erupters + $42.94 (USB Hub & Fan) + S&H = $106.16 In addition to the BTC, I generated about $0.03 in NMC.

With the 4 erupters running 24/7, I use about $0.02/USD of electricity while generating on average $0.12-$0.16 in bitcoin per day. I chose mining because it seamlessly allows you to mine namecoin through the same port/pool.Дon't use bitminter's flash miner if you want to mine alt coins with your gpus while going after bitcoin with the ASIC cards (it doesn't play nice if you have wallets running or cgminer working and you'll get a lot of rejects)- but by using a command line miner for sha-256, I can also run guiminer-scrypt or cgminer to hash out alt coins.

I've had a constant 1.3-1.4Gh/s with these USB erupters, peaking at 2.2Gh/s (but that's an anomaly and not constant) I use bfgminer and set them up to run They're super easy to use once you get the drivers set up and understand how to mine. I purchased 4 erupters back in November 2013- just to run beside my 4x5970s and 3x7950s, it was an experiment and at the time I was pretty new to mining in general.Д¤-erupters with 92mm cooling fan and powered-USB hub.
