Ok, so I just got my 30gh/s cube and dont want to mess it up. Having problems finding any write ups in regards to starting this thing up. what all do I need? Power supply, cables.... what is the plug it comes with, with a jumper wire for?

That's about the best you will find !! Good luck hope it helps :)

This one is dedicated to the BE Cube: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=352658

That should get you going.  The plug with the jumper tells your power supply to turn on - much better than the old paper clip trick.  There are a number of power supplies you can use.  I'm using the XFX Pro 550W which is more than sufficient for a single cube.  I'm using BFGMiner for the stratum proxy because I also have BE USB devices and so already have BFGMiner running.

So you have to use 1 power supply per cube ?? Im thinking about getting 2 cubes just to run till febuary Pre-orders arrive :) . If i get a 600 watt power supply will it run 2 of them u think ???? Thx

a 600w *should run 2  if you use the low clock setting....    you dont want to run the psu at max watts constantly....


id suggest a 750w or 800w  to run 2 in overclock mode....

I think your right about 800 watts would be perfect Expecially since at over clock they run 280 watts allmost 300 so be on the safe side :)

Im getting a power supply tonight, Ill keep you all posted thanks for the great links!

ok so there are two 6 pin power connection spots do I need to power both or just one with ample psu?

i have both of mine plugged in

ok, so I got another psu with the correct number of 6pin connectors and the two green and the red status light comes on, when I plug in the ether cord it flashes green and the yellow light comes on and stays on.  hope that all good, now I put in the recomended address of 192.168.1.254:8000 get a time out response, I look at my ipconfig I get
subnet mask........ 255.255.255.0
defalut gateway.....192.168.2.1

err I'm confused as to what the address should look like?
I tried 192.168.2.254:8000 with no avail either

Change your computer's IP to 192.168.1.whatever and try again. You'll need to change the Cube's IP to 192.168.2.whatever and then put your computer's IP back to its previous settings. After that you should have no trouble accessing the Cube's config page whenever you want.

ok great that worked took me a bit to figure it all out but I can easily access the config page!

downloaded mining proxy tried entering a pool address as shown as a bat file but no luck, I get

unhandled error in deferred:
unhandled error
traceback <most recent call last>:
failure: stratum.custom_exceptions.transportExcption: SocketTransportClinetfactory connection timed out
2013-12-17 15:53:13,641 ERROR proxy client_service.on_timeout # connections to up stream pool timed out

is there a way to use bfgminer I have block erupters running on that, is that a problem?

What's your batch file contents?

C:\Users\riddick\Desktop\mining proxy\mining_proxy.exe -o stratum+tcp://nl1.ghash.io:3334

but it just opens and closes, when I put the same info in at command it gives the previously stated response,

In a batch file:

start C:\Users\riddick\Desktop\mining proxy\mining_proxy.exe -o nl1.ghash.io -p 3334

time stamp    INFO proxy clien_service.handle_event #new job 23761eb for prevhash ec56aa61, clean_jobs=false

repeats with new job code

Your cube config stuff needs to match the computer's IP information.

IP   -> unique IP for your hardware
Mask   -> probably 255.255.255.0
Gateway   -> 192.168.2.1
WEB Port   -> 8000
Primary DNS   -> 192.168.2.1
Secondary DNS   -> eh, whatever
Pool ports   -> 8332,8332
Pool addresses   -> your computer's IP
Miners user:pas -> worker credentials

it looks right to me.... unique ip would be ipv4 address correct

My Cube running at High mode uses 385Watts.
If you want to run 2 cubes on high mode you should at least get a 800W PSU or better.

so i figured I would try slush's pool being kinda default on the proxy, I changed my ID's /workers with pass words and bam it started working, for a minute. now the same! HELP ME BITCOIN REWARD for the one who gets me understanding this proxy!

Looks like your mining proxy is working, but not receiving a connection from the cube.

Turn off windows firewall or any software firewall you may have running.

run this on the command line.  192.168.xxx.xxx is your computer's IP address.

mining_proxy.exe -o nl1.ghash.io -p 3334 -oh 192.168.xxx.xxx -gp 8332

Do you have an android phone on the same wifi network?

If so, take the droid phone off the network and see if the miner doesn't start working (might require restart of cube and/or proxy).

I am not joking here.  This took me 5 days to figure out and is a documented problem with cubes and/or blades.

Had it on the money!

Thank you so much!!!

My buddy had a problem with his IP address not working with the cube. He ended up having to go into the router settings and change it to  192.168.1.(anynumbers) that number one has to be a 1 or i don't think the cube will work with your IP address ... I think the 1 is the subnet address but im not anywhere near a networking expert lol :) my friends IP address befor he changed it to a  192.168.1 address was like 178.66.7.107 or someshit and it would not work with the cube. It would load up the setting screen but would never work with proxy and actually mine shares.. I helped him set it up and ended up telling him to figure out a way to get a 192.168.1.xx address . After he got his new IP address changed it worked perfectly ....

I need help, can anyone help me trouble shoot my 30gh/s cube please been down for a week plus! just woke one morning and it was down!

there is bitcoin for who ever gets me up and running first!

clean jobs = false

I thought xjack had you all set.  ?

Anyway, to answer your earlier question, yes, you can use bfgminer's proxy to do this, but you should consider running a separate instance for the cube than you do the block erupter USBs so that the difficulty levels will be appropriate for each device.  Here's how I invoke my bfgminer proxy (though I use linux so I changed bfgminer to bfgminer.exe for you):


pool1 is of the form "stratum+tcp://net-pool.addr.com:####" where ### is the port the pool uses

Hope this helps!

BTW, you *have* to use double-entries on the last two input fields of cube web interface, and if you're using bfgminer I recommend having the second machine you point to being one that is NOT running a proxy since I've had loads of trouble with cube reboots if it's double - probably related to the networking/phone issue but never could solve it under bfgminer with completely duplicate proxy info.

I don't have that problem at all if I run slush's proxy.  To run that, I use:


serveraddr using the above example is of the form "net-pool.addr.com" and serverport is ####

Lastly, I've *only* had luck with the bfgminer proxy when mining solo via proxy.

Hope this helps!

You must not have the settings right. Have you held in the reset button on cube and reset to factory settings. What is the IP address of your computer that is used to host miner?? Slushs proxy download exe worked super easy for me and my friend that i helped set up. Can you post a picture of your settings so everyone can see exactly how you have entered all values ??

Re read your post Vodoo it sounds like a hardware problem? How long was it running befor you woke up and it was down ?? Did you take cube apart and check out all the cards ???

I did a factory reset and cannot seem to access the config page even after changing my computers IP, before I reset it I could access the config page at the address I had set up before, all chips showed 0 when I could see there status last
