Title: Open-Source-FPGA-Bitcoin-Miner Post by: relisher on April 20, 2013, 11:04:32 PM Hello all fellow bitcoin miners,
I have a de2-115 that I used for a high school project that I would like to convert to a bitcoin miner. I used the Open-Source-FPGA-Bitcoin-Miner code which was optimized for this exact FGPA (luck I guess) and I have run into a few problems. 1) Whenever I run mine.bat, it comes up with the error - > ERROR: Unable to getwork. Reaon: key "result" not known in dictionary This could be because of the old version of Quartus I am using (10.0) - If anybody could confirm or deny if that is the issue, I would be greatful! 2) The core seems to get very hot even with the acrylic casing off. Has anybody implemented a cooling system for this FPGA 3) I have heard that there is a way to get this program to run at 100+ MHash/s. Though I wouldn't dream of implementing this until I figure out a cooling mechanism for the FPGA, does anybody know where the sof file for that is? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you very much! - relisher Title: Re: Open-Source-FPGA-Bitcoin-Miner Post by: user252 on April 30, 2013, 02:52:51 PM Regarding 1) I had a similar error
> ERROR: Unable to getwork. Reason: key "midstate" not known in dictionary when using bitcoinpool.com but I switched to another pool and the error stopped. Maybe try a different pool. I used a pool called eligius. Good luck. |
