Title: ASICMiner controller Question.. Post by: Shazam!!! on February 09, 2015, 10:11:24 PM I've read the stock controller on Prismas/Tubes are unreliable and
you can use a uart/usb adapter in its place. So...whats the most reliable road to take from that point??? Hook it all to a usb brick and Pi??? ??? Title: Re: ASICMiner controller Question.. Post by: sidehack on February 09, 2015, 11:43:22 PM The Tube controllers work alright for Tubes, but I've had very little luck running a Prisma off one reliably. And when I say "work alright" I mean there's no failover pool options and their stratum implementation is broken so it only works by default on a few pools (we've cooked up some proxies that scrub out some of the problems, but not all).
The USB adapters give a lot more flexibility, as support is now built into cgminer. I've had Prismas running for a few months on USB adapters and Pis using CrazyGuy's Minera image. They're as stable as Prismas get, I reckon. If you're in need of the proper USB adapter and can't get one from AM themselves, check here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=882348.0 I like Novak's adapters better than AM's stock adapters. There's probably not much functional difference though. Title: Re: ASICMiner controller Question..

And you prolly hear this a lot but---When they release the next gen miners and I need some power, I will be lookin at your power supply deal. Also, I have sent a few other noobs (like me) your way.
