send an email to support@btcguild.com with your username/ emaill address and as much info as you can. That's the best way to get answers to any account issues. i send 2 email since 24h but never answer Some people have lives... Do you think these people earn enough money to be able to afford to pay some other people to offer better support? um... no. Can you please elaborate why do you think so? Servers that run a pool like BTCGuild don't run of fresh air. Nor is the hardware free. Oddly enough.  |

You got everything working now, right?
More or less, the Cube craps out after about 20-24 hours, but a quick hard reboot gets it going again. I've been mostly away over Christmas, so haven't had a chance to have any more time with the Cube to figure out it's idiosyncrasies. I'm going to split the load of it between the two supplies I have and see if it stabilises things.  |

It can take up to 3 days to sync if you've got a slow internet connection. Just bear with it.

What is this?! I just want to send 0.00000001 BTC! … It's going to cost me 0.0005 BTC to send 0.00000001 BTC ?!?!
0.00000001 would likely never, ever go anywhere, it'd just be stuck Unconfirmed, so don't waste your time. |

It's probably PSU.
My Cube wouldn't run with a Corsair CX750, nor a Dell 875W (out of a Precision workstation), and it also didn't run off a regulated 12V 30A bench supply. I had the same issues, one mini-Blade X'ed out, then half another X'ed out, and would only mine about 10% of the time.
Finally tried another supply, a cheap OCZ ModXStream-Pro 600W and the Cube is fully functioning and mining at a little over 37GH for the last 21 hours solid.

Well, guess what? It was the CX750.  Cube runs perfectly on the OCZ 600W. Just a few hashes shy of 38GH for the last 8-9 hours. I've also discovered the Cubes work better though Slush's proxy than through BFG's proxy. The PSU I bought is as follows: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001GLFD54/ - £54.99 WAY cheaper than the Corsair, and it works.  The CX750 is back to it's normal job of powering my two Blades, 2 Jalapenos, USB hub, fans and various USB miners. Maybe u got a dud. The ones I bought at Fry's for $60 work great!  Yeah, it must be a dud. That's why it's running all the other stuff with no issues at all. The Cube didn't work with 2 other PSUs as well - a Dell 875W unit and an old transformer-based 30A 12V regulated PSU. |

Could you just not solder the wires from a short patch lead on to the board, and a pair of LEDs? Ignore the socket.

Mine isn't running at all well with my CX750 either.
I've ordered a cheap OCZ 600W and I'll see how it goes - I had great service from really ultra-cheap 500W OCZ when I was running lots of GPUs.
I have over 20 Cubes running on the CX750 in overclock mode with no issues. In fact, they are all running in a 3 Cube, 2 PSU configuration in overclock. I doubt the PSU is to blame. Well, guess what?

Too much troubleshooting time needed to get these to work the way you want. Now my cube makes a click for start then shuts down on its on right away. New problem!
NEW BUYERS WARNING: BE PREPARED TO SPEND A GOOD TIME !
Truth! It definitely took a bunch of time for me to get mine working. That being said, I feel confident that I could get additional units up and running rather easily. You are a master! Do you have to keep the cube connected via Ethernet all the time? This thing was slowing down my internet heavily. Even closed my connection a few times. All my miners don't use much more than 30kB/s at peak across the internet. I think you have other issues that aren't anything to do with the Cube. |

OK, so my Cube wouldn't work properly with an old Dell PSU with 18A per rail. It also wouldn't work properly with a Corsair CX750 with a single 12V rail. It however is working perfectly on the following PSU: OCZ ModXStream-Pro 600WThis supply has two 25A 12V rails, but I'm running the Cube off a single rail (the two PCI-E cables run off the same rail). The Cube is mining perfectly for 9 hours at just under 38GH. The OCZ supply is perfectly quiet and cool. Bonus is, this was one of the cheapest 600W 'Brand name' PSUs available off Amazon, ordered Saturday night, arrived first thing this morning. |

It is a fun and novel way to kill SD cards though with of all of the writes.
bitcoind gets to about Feb 2013 (eventually), from then on it gets starts to seriously lag behind (taking ~24 hours to validate ~18hrs worth of blocks) until eventually it kills the SD cards - have been tempted to see if that can be used as a way of stress-testing SSD drives Would be interesting to see if microSDs using an SD adaptor can last longer or not under the same conditions. Don't see why they would, microSD is just the same shitty chip on a smaller package. |

Now my Cube is working properly (new PSU fixed the issues I had), I can confirm that it hashes quicker through Slush's Proxy than it does through BFG's proxy.
Through BFG it never reports more than 30GH. Even after an hour it was still stuck at around 30GH. It's running a 37.5GH and still rising through Slush's proxy, and only been running through that for about 10 mins.
Both BFG and Slush's are running on the same machine (Celeron NUC running Windows 7 x86).
I'm curious if -q fixes this. Can you let me know? Sorry, forgot to mention - I've got -q on both my instances of BFG (both OpenWRT and Windows). There's no difference on the Windows machine (BFG is using less than 5% CPU while running proxy for 2 Blades, 1 Cube and 2 Jalapenos if -q is specified or not). There IS a difference on the OpenWRT machine, it's much faster at proxying with -q specified, but still not as fast as the PC. Longpoll support seems to be the only difference I see. |

I'm a bit tired, and a bit dazed with all this mining stuff at the moment.  What is the story with the IceFury USB miners? They seem to be a NanoFury clone. Is the hidapi stuff included with MinePeon? Or did I try and install hidapi when trying to get the BlueFurys working? Jeesh, I can't remember. Also, someone mentioned adding the -q option to bfgminer to improve performance - well I've tried it on my OpenWRT router, and performance is much, much improved, so much that my Blades and Cube run on the OpenWRT device when they used to switch to the Windows machine in preference. last I heard IceFury was the continuation of the BlueFury/RedFury design. Correct, I've got one coming to replace a BlueFury that went fizzt. |

sweet got it today. running on a corsair cx500 psu
I got my 2 cubes, and i did made quick setup. I have corsair 750cx and my cubes running below 30Gh/s on high clock. Any ideas? I suspect to small PSU. But cannot be shure. Anyone else have same issue with corsair? Same issue here with corsair. test 1 cube on its own see if it runs overclocked.. Mine isn't running at all well with my CX750 either. I've ordered a cheap OCZ 600W and I'll see how it goes - I had great service from really ultra-cheap 500W OCZ when I was running lots of GPUs. |

And now another Blade is showing half X's. Another PSU on order. Mining at an awesome 27GH in High.  |
