Title: HELP! Can't seem to get my miner to start mining!
Post by: daehbew on February 14, 2015, 11:56:58 AM
I am running my AsicTube on a BE Controller.

I have other miners running on my network, and they seem to be running fine.
Does anyone know what would cause one miner to not start mining?

This is what it shows in the stratum page..

oooookay.
I been using Bitminter... for quite some time... I like all my miners on Bitminter.

I don't get it.. but I pulled up my old Slush account that hasn't been accessed in over a year.
Used the settings from that.
And then the stratum page starts mining.
only thing I changed was.. USERNAME, PASS, and.. THE URL and.. THE PORT FOR THE URL
which both slush and bitminter use 3333 as port.

The Bitminter setup for stratum can be seen here:
https://bitminter.com/
stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333

So I just used:
URL --> stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com  <--- is url correct format for stratum..?
PORT --> 3333

yet. the stratum page wouldn't show any performance to mine bitminter..
I have had the asictube mining on bitminter before... so why wouldn't it start mining for bitminter now..? any ideas?
and I did username_worker <--- like that setup; which should be correct.

**side question.
don't suppose anyone reading this uses slush?
I noticed slush shows my gh/s as only 87.100
while my stratum page is showing real performance of 800+ gh/s...
is this normal?
----nevermind that... I think I'm speaking too soon.... it's only been maybe 5-10 minutes in typing this and having started mining on slush.... just noticed....
* Average hash rate in last 60 minutes. Calculated each 5 minutes.
Probably has to sit for 20 mins+ to reflect actual.... (one more reason I prefer bitminter...)

asic miner tubes have 'bad' software.  you can not use every pool only some work.

it is possible that bitminter went back to a different set of instructions.

 I had a tube a while back it only worked with mmpool.org and ghash.io  some pools altered their software to allow tubes to work.  slush did.  i guess bitminter went from bad to good to bad.   

 kano's pool was bad then good then bad about using the tube. so i guess bitminter did the same thing.
