So I recently purchased the block eruptor cube, and it's not working. Jones Gear won't return my calls, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong here or why it isn't mining. Here's my current setup:

IP: 192.168.1.254
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
WEB Port: 8000
Primary DNS: 192.168.1.1
Secondary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Pool ports: 8332,8332
Pool addresses: 192.168.0.9,192.168.0.9
Miners user:pass: my username/password copied directly from slush's page

I've double checked just about everything I know how to check on here to make sure it's correct. I've watched so many Youtube videos and none of the mining criteria listed above are different from the vids, except things specific to the computer I'm using (ex. IP address). Can anyone tell me why I can't get my miner to work? The stratum proxy keeps saying "clean_jobs=False", whatever that means, if anything. Sorry if this is the 1000th post on the subject but I don't have time to sift through years of threads looking for someone with my exact situation. Thanks in advance for the help!

have you tried this thread for setup, i used it for my cube and was up and working no problems in couple minutes

Yes, and to no avail. I've tried slush's pool, btcdig, btcguild, everything i have an account on basically. and it still doesnt work.

Hey man, I've ordered several cubes through Jones Gear and only had one that was a little funny about starting up mining.  First of all, I have to ask - did you take the cube apart, tighten all heatsink screws and inspect for missing/broken parts?  You can't take a BE Cube out of the box and just plug it in.

I actually bought my cube from Jones gear and they have been a lot of help! What are you using for the host computer? Is your cube connected directly to the router? These can not be run on a switch. My setup is a Raspberry pi running minepeon and then the cube. Let us know any symptons that you are having so we can better help you trouble shoot.

That's the problem.  You need to change all the values to match your network.  Not just the IP of the computer running mining_proxy.exe.


The third octet of the IP of your computer running mining_proxy.exe is different than the third octet of the Cube.

192.168.1.x versus 192.168.0.x.

You need to change the IP of the Cube to be on the same network.  It's the recommended configuration for a beginner.  Choose an IP address on 192.168.0.XX that doesn't conflict with something already on your network.  Restart the Cube and then access it on port 8000 of whatever IP address you choose.

Example:

192.168.0.42:8000

Then you need to change the other Cube configuration values.  So, the new configuration should be:

IP: 192.168.0.XX where XX is an available address on your network; say, for example, 192.168.0.42
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
WEB Port: 8000
Primary DNS: 192.168.0.1
Secondary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Pool ports: 8332,8332
Pool addresses: 192.168.0.9,192.168.0.9
Miners user:pass: my username/password copied directly from slush's page

Ensure that any firewall on 192.168.0.9 running mining_proxy.exe is allowing traffic on port 8332.

Restart the Cube again and restart mining_proxy.exe.
