Title: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: phazon307 on November 29, 2013, 03:44:35 AM I am a complete newb to all this so understand that when you reply I finally got my blades configuration page I would like to add the stratum from my pool into the blades configuration and use BFG Miner to mine because I also have 4 usb block erupters connected using BFG miners now I just need to figure out how to connect my blade.
Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: stacksmasher on November 29, 2013, 06:36:21 AM Because you have to run bfgminer in proxy mode for the blade.... you are better off running the usb's on another system. Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: Bram on November 29, 2013, 12:26:35 PM Create a bat file called something like autominer.bat with with the following command:
bfgminer --http-port 8332 -S erupter:all -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u YOUR-BITCOIN-ADDRESS -p ANY-PASSWORD save the file. execute the file. It will pickup all the erupters and the blades.

This is bullshit. Rather than giving wrong advice, try not saying anything at all. Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: phazon307 on November 29, 2013, 05:16:05 PM What about brams advice?
Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: ssateneth on November 29, 2013, 05:25:36 PM I run my BFGMiner in proxy mode too, works for for blades. Ignore the part where stacksmasher says to run the usb on a different system.
What bram says is correct, but I use a .conf file for all my settings. It should get the same end result.

This is bullshit. Rather than giving wrong advice, try not saying anything at all. Well lets see if he gets it working... Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: 7queue on November 29, 2013, 07:07:37 PM If you have added --http-port 8332 Then your blade settings should look something like this given your computer that bfgminer is running on has the IP 192.168.0.3 and your router IP 192.168.0.1 Quote
8 ) Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: phazon307 on November 29, 2013, 07:07:57 PM Same thing just opens and closes.
Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: phazon307 on November 29, 2013, 07:09:53 PM that's exactly what I have in my configuration page.
Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: phazon307 on November 29, 2013, 07:22:51 PM Wouldn't I have to put something like this--http://localhost 192.168.0.x-8332 ?
Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: pjcltd on November 29, 2013, 07:52:21 PM I am watching this as I have 30 blades going through a stratum-proxi
And I'm not sure it's all working right Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: 7queue on November 29, 2013, 07:55:52 PM Usually on Windows you have to configure firewall settings to allow inbound ports.
Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Firewall\Allowed apps -> [Allow another app...] button browse for bfgminer.exe Add it and select Private bfgminer.exe needs inbound tpc port 8332 but the above should work if I'm remembering correctly. If your shortcut is closing you need to open a command prompt and copy the shortcut command to it and issue it to see what error message if any is showing. 8 ) Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: 7queue on November 29, 2013, 07:57:11 PM Wouldn't I have to put something like this--http://localhost 192.168.0.x-8332 ? No that won't allow the blades to connect to your computer. 8 ) Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: phazon307 on November 29, 2013, 08:00:52 PM lmao I am such a dumb ass after careful examination I had bfg.exe. bfg -0 hahahahah once I got rid of that it started working.
Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: phazon307 on November 29, 2013, 08:04:02 PM not showing in my pool maybe I will try the getwork instead of the stratum?
Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: phazon307 on November 29, 2013, 08:05:59 PM I have 2 instances of bfg miner one for my usb erupters the other for my blade.
Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: sidehack on November 29, 2013, 08:06:52 PM There's only two ways to run a blade. Point the blade at your pool's Getwork, or point the blade at a proxy and point the proxy at your pool's stratum.
Also the pool might take up to ten minutes to report the additional hashrate. Make sure the blade's user credentials are correct for your pool account. Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: 7queue on November 29, 2013, 08:09:32 PM I just tried this on Windows with bfgminer 3.7.0 and --http-port 8332 No Go!! Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600] (c) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\7queue\Downloads\bfgminer>bfgminer --http-port 8332 [2013-11-29 15:01:35] bfgminer: --http-port: unrecognized option Well, I don't use Windows to mine, so I never tried this on that platform, seems it isn't there on Windows??? Plan B? http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stratum-mining#download (http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stratum-mining#download) Grab the proxy, second link under Downloads then go to the instructions they have. I'll pull it also and see if I can get it going on my system. 8 ) Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: phazon307 on November 29, 2013, 08:27:05 PM is 100.45 efficiency for a blade good or bad?
Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: 7queue on November 29, 2013, 08:27:32 PM With the mining_proxy.exe I tried this with success: It is running right now... Quote mining_proxy.exe -o stratum+tcp://us1.eclipsemc.com -p 8337 -oh 192.168.0.3 -gp 8332 -cu username -cp password Blades configuration should stay the same 8 ) Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: phazon307 on November 29, 2013, 08:29:52 PM it just keeps going up. I am earning it on my pool though.
Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: 7queue on November 29, 2013, 08:33:55 PM Luke-Jr says --http-proxy only works on Win32 not Win64... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.0) So on Win64 go with mining_proxy.exe from Slush, I have it running but is showing errors, even thought the blade and account show activity. 8 ) Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: sidehack on November 29, 2013, 08:34:48 PM No, that's a good thing. It'll probably converge after a while, to around 97-99 percent depending on power quality and cooling.
Good to see you got it working. Connected with slush's proxy? Title: Re: Getting my blade to start hashing Post by: pjcltd on November 29, 2013, 08:38:18 PM This of one of my blades
