Westhash back up as well.
Looks like the SHA256 server took a pretty good hammering from 14:49 to 16:34 UTC according to my charts. Scrypt looks like it wasn't hit.

Looks like all of my rigs are hashing at full speed now. The main westhash page is still down for me though.

server offline?
I know the westhash main webpage is offline and apparently something is going on with the SHA256 port as my hashrate has dropped by around 500 gh. |

Is this thread for discussion of westhash as well, or is there a separate one?
I did a search but this is the closest thing that came up.

Is there a version of BFGminer that can autotune the clock frequencies for gridseed devices?
|
|

Rev 2 I think. Don't the rev 3's have fans?

Haha, that's great!
CG, sent you a few PM's. |

Can we backtrack here for a second..? It's almost november 2014, the mining difficulty increases by ~13% every 2 weeks. There's many websites out there that'll help you calculate a POSSIBLE roi, power costs, difficulty increase, etc. so.. lets say I have $4,000 right? Why would i purchase any form of hardware for this amount (including shipping, PSU's, etc)? I'll have to take care of the miner, deal with the sound, the space it'll take, etc. and only to HOPE to get an ROI. So, with the 4 grand i've purchased any x, y, or z rig to mine. I'll have to keep paying the electricity bill, cause someone has to right? So.. lets say instead, I invest this $4,000 in purchasing BTC itself. That's about BTC11 at a price of $360 USD (about current) now, i'll have BTC11, no need to pay for power, shipping, delays, keep a computer (or rasppi) running, no need for a ethernet hub, etc etc. And, lets say we do see a spike again in BTC that takes it to at least $500. well I purchased BTC11 @ a price of $360, but now they're worth $500 each. $500 x BTC11 = $5,500. Minus what I had to pay for upfront, which was BTC11 x $360 = $3960 for a total profit of about $1,500. Of course, you could wait for a bigger spike, maybe we'll hit $1,000 per BTC again. or more.. so tell me. What is the benefit of purchasing a miner for a purpose of getting bitcoins at a non-stop increasing difficulty & competition, when I could purchase the BTC, not worry about power, pools, etc. keep it in a secure software wallet, and hold? After all, the goal of the miner's is to get bitcoins right?  Someone always brings the ROI argument up. We do it because we want to. Of course, we're the realists. We're in it for the money. The thing is, bitcoin is still, to this day, a "prototype" and, don't get me wrong i'm not saying it does not have a chance but, it is highly unlikely it will be implemented. As of now, some countries have rules against, regulating, or simply ignore bitcoin. There reason there are so many altcoins is because people understand BTC itself isn't perfect. Many view the altcoins as experiments to be implemented into one big currency, maybe bitcoin, but non the less. The grand mission is to spread bitcoin, and allow it to be used worldwide. Check the wiki for bitcoin, even that states a list of numerous problems that bicoin has or could easily arise. Now, wit the downfall of bitcoin.. Well, who know's where it'll go. Anyway, the reason people "mine" isn't to "help the network" it's to make money. Simple. If you're one of those people that are content to spend money and just help, great, but those are still the few. By a big shot. So, the question remains. Is it profitable to mine? or is it better to buy and hold btc? I am sorry but these types of comments don't belong in this thread. this kind of post should be placed in the "Mining Speculation or Economy" threads! You make absolutely ZERO reference to Rockminer equipment and your arguments are all based on presumptions. Use the forum correctly, please. Exactly. |

what power source are you guys using for the new rock r-box? I'm considering buying a couple of these but have no idea what kind of power supply i need.
I use a LEPA 1600 on the 7 new ones I have and the 14 little ones. |

Just tried it again.
Hashrate sucks!
I've tried several versions of CGMiner, even the one from Rockminer. Speed is down on all of them compared to BFG.
Ntrain2k, have you thought about running them on a controller instead? The cubieboard A10 doesn't have any of the reset problems like the raspberry pi and has really low error rate as well. Or are you happy with the bfgminer for now? I actually like running them on a windows box because I remote in to keep an eye on things, make changes, etc. I spend a ton of time at work. I wish that Rockminer would get the info to Lukejr so he could get bfg set up for these. I've preferred BFG since I started using it a while back. I asked Lukejr if it would help is someone sent him one to try. No reply yet. Even posted in this thread as well as sent a PM to Roxie requesting they send documentation. Nothing from that either. |

Any tips for getting the correct speed out of CGMiner for the new/old R-boxes? I've tried several flavors, including the one from rockminer and can't get anywhere near the speed I get with bfgminer which runs the new r-boxes slow to begin with.   |

Do you have your frequency set to 280, that is the highest stable frequency there is for these chips in this configuration brother, give it a go and then see how stable they run, there will be less hashing power, yes, but your rejects and HW errors will virtually vanish, the 15 percent you would normally lose disapears and it all balances out if you where expecting to get a max of 100gh per blade (90ghs steady), and the units themselves will run alot cooler with alot more stability over time, cause the unit is not so heavily overclocked as is constantly suggested by some forum members here, im looking at you klintay, to boost sales at there website called eyeboot, beside that though hopefully you give it a go brother and realise the same thing i did, these units are not meant to be run anything over 280 on the freq, its as simple as that, give it a crack and have a look at the numbers, running these guys through the rasp pi units doesnt work well either, the blades use icarus timings, which to be honest i know very little of, have been meaning to look more into it, but from what i do know of icarus it is CPU based, as in it uses the cpu of what ever is controlling it to work, hence the tiny core on the rasp pi shitting themsleves every half an hour and more and more information being removed from the WEB UI instead of the problems being fixed, best bet is a laptop to host with or a small desktop with these guys, saves alot of hassles, if you get stuck man hit me up, more than happy to help you through teamview or something if your not very technical, this stuff can be tricky as some times
I'll give it a shot again. Just tried it again. Hashrate sucks! I get anywhere from 890 to 1.04 running bfgminer even at the reduced speed on my 7 110 gh boxes. I've tried several versions of CGMiner, even the one from Rockminer. Speed is down on all of them compared to BFG. |

Rockxie, will Rockminer ever provide the documentation to Lukejr or nwools for New R-Box 110 GH/s integration with BFGMiner and MultiMiner? Or update the support page downloads available with a newer CGMiner? The current downloads include/use outdated cgminer 4.3.3 .
New R-box is supported by cgminer 4.6.0... i use that version with all my rockminer machines at the moment Will that version autotune the clockspeed of them individually? I don't think so, I usually just set the clock speed to 320 or 350 for all of them. Could you possibly share your command line settings? Do you think the little r-boxes will work ok with a 320 speed? I run them mixed. Thanks. cgminer.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --rock-freq 350 -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u eyebootdaddy_1 -p 12345 Yeah they run fine as well. I think the small r-box run better with 320 than 350 Does it take them a while to get up to speed? I'm about 300 Gh slower using this vs. bfgminer. really? that is strange...it shouldn't take a long time to get to full speed unless you are using the old rk-box (rocket box). can you post a screenshot here? I'm back on BFG for now. Running 7 of the new r-boxes and 14 of the little ones. |

Scrypt miners are about 10$ per mh
^this^ |

0.9?
Good luck with that. They are going cheaper than that even on overpriced eBay.

Just took a look at the C1.
Flow through that setup is pretty crappy. 1 blade will end up hotter than the other. Should have y'd the connections so they both get equal cooling.
Is this better? SC-ANTS3 COOLING KIT Can't see where it connects to the blades so I can't tell for sure. I suspect it is the same as the C1. It needs to come out of the pump, go through radiator, y off with a tube going to each blade. The outlet of each blade then needs to y back to a single tube and return to the other side of the pump. |
