1021  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: How many houses will burn down due to mining? on: February 03, 2014, 03:57:22 PM
This is a Scaremonger Announcement.

EFA.

Please do not install ASIC miners in your house without consulting electricians.

How many people are going to install these potential fire hazard without proper care and understanding? Quite a lot, I'm afraid.

Here in civilisation, we have these cool new things called breakers.  Before that, we had fuses.  They're these things that go in a box where the electrickery comes in to the house, and they stop the wiring getting overloaded.

Perhaps you should investigate getting some?  Roll Eyes

Any cheap generic 4U case will do.  They have plenty of space inside.

best one is Gentle Typhoon if you can find them, always sold out because they are so good

This.  Proper big motor with FDB bearings (same bearings used in hard-drives).  They're solid.  I've had 5 of them going flat out for years and they're still running smooth.

My Cube never worked right from day one, and has managed to fry 4 PSUs.  I've given up on it, it's lying in the corner collecting dust.  Waste of money.

I've been told also that libusb is bad because it bypasses the official drivers for most of the chips used in ASICs.

Yeah, the USB driver decision was, and still is, mind boggling.  Hotplug is pointless - any serious miner will never need hotplug on their USB miners.

You can definitely OC the U1's.  Check out the Tips and Tricks section here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=390929.0 for U1's.  Also, make sure if you OC them that you have ample cooling...those little suckers get hot enough to boil water...

I've mine running at x0A81 (2.2GH rated) which gives between 2.05 and 2.15GH with no errors.  Only cooling I have it the hub sitting against the fan side of the PSU that runs most of my mining gear.  It's basically just a breeze, but it's enough.  They run off an aluminium Anker 10-port powered by ATX.
1027  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] Technobit HEX16A2 - 16 chip Avalon Gen2 board on: February 02, 2014, 02:37:32 PM
I bought a HEX16A2 used, and it was working fine for a few hours. 

Then I noticed it had stopped hashing.  There's no LEDs lit, it is being detected by cgminer on the MR-3020 but it doesn't do any hashing.

Any ideas?

Plugged the board in to the PC with HEXMiner, and it started working again.  Back on to the TPLink and it's still working a champ.

Perhaps not using a potentially corrupt pool would be a better idea in the future?  Huh

Who wants to fork this and reinstitute scrypt and GPU support?

sgminer is already that fork.

1032  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon2 based miner from Technobit - HEX16A2 on: February 01, 2014, 02:19:52 PM
I just got 3 of these boards, used.  All three mined fine for about an hour, then one stopped.  The stopped one now doesn't even light up it's Red LED.  The fan is still going OK, and I don't see any signs of component damage.  It is being picked up by cgminer, but obviously it's not hashing.

Any ideas what I can do to get this thing working again?

Graphics work OK here, but they do take about 10 minutes to start appearing.
1034  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: bitcoinminingmachines.co.uk -- hardware importer and retailer on: January 31, 2014, 10:52:47 AM

when the machine arrives here we will start it mining and advertise it for sale. It will be mining until you collect it or we post it.

So basically you "testing" the machine = you making profit from a machine I bought until I come and pick it up.


So what do you think all the S1 are doing in China before they're shipped?  Most of them arrive with different IPs, because they've been mining somewhere for a few weeks.

In on the first page to say that Eligius is the most stable BTC pool I've used in the year I've been mining.  I started off on Slush's, then BTCGuild, then Eclipse, P2Pool, and even some time on GHash.io. 

I keep on coming back to Eligius as my primary pool.

Keep up the hard work guys. Smiley

1037  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: cgminer run on wifi router's platform with the USB ASICMINER(friedcat) on: January 30, 2014, 11:42:35 AM
Great idea, shame its been done already.

BFGMiner has an official OpenWRT package, which allows you to control almost any miner that bfgminer supports (only ones that aren't are miners than need hidapi, as OpenWRT doesn't have hidapi)

cgminer is possible on OpenWRT, but you have to compile it yourself, so it's not as easy.


I used to run a lot of stuff through a TPLink router, I think I had 100GH worth going through a WDR-3600.
1038  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN]ASICMiner Publicly Looking for Potential Customers/Partners for New Chips on: January 30, 2014, 09:35:18 AM
So, are you going to get with the plan and use stratum in your forthcoming miner, or are you still going to be stuck in the dark ages with getwork?

I don't know if bfgminer is your best a solution for mining with NVidia, shouldn't you try cudaminer? getting an AMD GPU?

EFA.
1040  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How do i run cgminer and use onboard graphic as display? on: January 30, 2014, 08:24:21 AM
First off, you need to use a recent version of cgminer.  3.1.1 is probably bare minimum.  3.7.2 I think is the last ones to support GPU mining.

Second, you need to remove the OpenCL driver from the Intel GPU.  There's an option in Add/Remove Programs that allow you to uninstall the Intel OpenCL.

Once you've done that, cgminer won't detect the Intel HD4000 as being capable of mining, and ignore it totally.


It does work, I've mined that way in the past (HD4000 for desktop work with 2x7950 and a 7850 mining in the background).
