Title: Only 14 of 15 ASIC miner USB's show up on BFGminer
Post by: dog.sport on August 30, 2013, 05:33:56 AM
Okay so I know I will be lucky to ever break even but the best way to start is to jump in. I am using BFG miner I had 5 USB miners working just fine I got 10 more in the mail this morning. It looks like the new rosewill 10port hub only handles 7 well and I may take that down to 5 to see if the error rate goes down. The thing that I am having a hard time with is that BFGMiner only see 14 of the miners not 15 but the light blinks on all the USB's and I do not know why any ideas here. Thanks for your help I have been reading through the old post and it is nice to know what all he letters mean in BFGMiner.

Update the hash rate would seem to indicate that only 14 are hashing  4,600M/ps this an average have seen it jump to 5 G but not stay there

Sounds like a possible cooling problem. Do you have a fan laying around?

Check the connection, make sure it's plugged in properly. also test a different slot to make sure it's not broken.

I have a good fan cooling them they all feel warm but not hot, I will try each USB in the first USB hub I bought as I know it works and post results later to day. Thanks for the help so far

Ya broke it down to 2 rosewell powered hubs and just used 5 per hub found one that did not always get recognized by the miner software and had way more hardware errors than the other when it did get recognized as a side note the rosewell 10 port USB hub works better when you just use 5 same with the 7 port hub. Any way the eBay seller is going change it out for me.
So in a week I will post how the 15 work I will have another hub by then and a new USB miner by then. Thanks for all ideas.
