Today I decided to shutdown my small home scrypt mining operation. Now I am planning my future move.
I checked Bitmains's site and they advertise the Antminer L1 to the shipped in December capable of 120 MH/s at a price of $599 (1.464 BTC)
And GAW asks for $1595 for an Hashlet Solo capable of 100 MH/s (MultiPool) or $2095 ZenPool)
How do these two compare? Am I missing something?
The L1 is a preorder... Scheduled for December... By that time your hashlets would have ROI'd and started making you money.. Plus you can sell them back at 80%... Really it's a no brainer. You honestly believe that a $2000 investment will ROI before December? Really? |

May I ask what the --usb command is for? I'll just have it plugged into the second USB slot on my RPi. Should I just change the --usb code to 1:2 then?
Thanks for the help by the way.
The --usb option will allow you to add a parameter to select the devices to be used by your miner software. You have to test and see where your harware is connected. Try this command: It will list your devices so that you can choose the ones to use with your software |

What would be the command to launch the second miner? I'm using cgminer right now (Dmax Zeus). Would I put it in the Extra options or the Startup Extra Commands?
This is an example taken from my rc.local file sleep 5
su - minera -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS cpuminer sudo /var/www/minera/minera-bin/minerd --gc3355=/dev/ttyACM0,/dev/ttyACM3 --gc3355-chips=40 --gc3355-timeout=120 --freq=820 --retries=1 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json"
sleep 20
su - minera -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS cgminer sudo /var/www/minera/minera-bin/cgminer-dmaxl-zeus --usb 1:7,1:8 --retries=1 --scrypt --gridseed-options freq=825,chips=40 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json1"
It will start cpuminer with two blades and cgminer-zeus with other two but only cpuminer will be monitored by Minera. |

did you receive yesterday the payout from nicehash ?
I did not
I was about to ask the exact same thing. No payout...  |
|
|
|
|
Could this be true?
PM sent!
|
|
|

Which exactly are those altcoins beside LTC L1 could mine? Is there a list somewhere?
I believe any lists will be extremely volatile because these pump and dump coins appear and disappear almost on a daily basis. |

Agree with this post BITMAIN, and as newbie, and for sure a very good part of us, i would suggest a firmware with the newest version, its more easy for us newbies.
It has nothing to do with the final user being a newbie or an expert, it is the proper way to provide support! If Bitmain develops and releases a major upgrade, they should test it properly and include it in a package ready for deployment, instead of leaving it to be applied as an isolated patch. Just my two cents...  |

Help please.
I use allways 2 psu for each of my S3. 1 psu for each blade. Lately one of my S3 turns of in the sideof the controler board. Today it happened again. When i went to take of the psu to check it it was melted and couldnt take it off without cut the wires.
I use the same model psu's for other antminers S3 and never happened that. I also cross green and black wire and never got problems with that.
Does anyone knows why this could happen?
Thank you.
In addiction the psu i use in each blade is about 600w Any help please? I can only tell that I've been using this PSU to power each of my S3, one connector per blade, without any issues: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cx-series-cx600m-modular-atx-power-supply-600-watt-80-plus-bronze-certified-modular-psuAnd I overclock them to 500 GH/s  |

Yeah, how dare they hold onto your USD$2 and not send it out fifty cents at a time?! Don't they know you have expenses to pay?!
And since you can't earn interest on the money they hold, that amounts to almost two cents a year that they're screwing you out of!! We should all go mine elsewhere instead!!!
LOL... I would support an even bigger increase in the minimum withdrawal amount or, and that would be the optimal option, I would like to have a way to set the minimum myself. I would raise it! My wallet is very dusty...  |
|
|

So let me recap. There are two conspiracies going on at the same time. One is to put miners out of business by lowering prices. The other one is to put off "genuine customers" by increasing prices. Mind boggles.
The plot thickens... |

Something else I suggested weeks back. Have a password parameter such as "t=0.01" to set a payment threshold of 0.01 BTC. Take the lowest received value of that parameter as the valid threshold. This way, a bad actor could cause a payout to occur before the user wished but there is no way to delay the payout. If no bad actor is involved then the user has control of when their payout occurs.
I typically get one payout per day. I'm afraid of what the transaction fee is going to look like when I finally collect all this dust and try to spend it.
This might not be a bad idea. I support the movement to increase the payout threshold for everybody or make it user configurable. I also have a lot of dust in my wallet |

I can't get the Zeus to work with the cpuminer and can't get the blades to work with the cgminer-zeus.
BFG gets them both working but with the low speed for the blades.
-Dave
I can't help you with the zeus, but I can share my current config for the blades: su - minera -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS cpuminer sudo /var/www/minera/minera-bin/minerd --gc3355=/dev/ttyACM0,/dev/ttyACM3 --gc3355-chips=40 --gc3355-timeout=120 --freq=820 --retries=1 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json" su - minera -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS cgminer sudo /var/www/minera/minera-bin/cgminer-dmaxl-zeus --usb 1:7,1:8 --retries=1 --scrypt --gridseed-options freq=825,chips=40 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json1" The previous config selects two blades to work with a config file and a miner, and the other two to work with another miner and another config file. These commands are in my rc.local file Other options: su - minera -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS Nice /var/www/minera/minera-bin/minerd --gc3355=/dev/ttyACM0 --gc3355-chips=40 --gc3355-timeout=180 --freq=840 --retries=2 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json1"
sleep 10
su - minera -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS Clever /var/www/minera/minera-bin/minerd --gc3355=/dev/ttyACM3 --gc3355-chips=40 --gc3355-timeout=180 --freq=840 --retries=2 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json2"
sleep 10
su - minera -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS Waffle /var/www/minera/minera-bin/cgminer-dmaxl-zeus --usb 1:7 --retries=2 --scrypt --gridseed-options freq=840,chips=40 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json"
sleep 10
su - minera -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS SGuild /var/www/minera/minera-bin/cgminer-dmaxl-zeus --usb 1:8 --retries=2 --scrypt --gridseed-options freq=840,chips=40 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json3"
4 miner processes for 4 different config files. It works like a charm With bfgminer: /var/www/minera/minera-bin/bfgminer --retries=2 --scrypt --scan=all --load-balance --failover-only -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=838 /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json or: su - minera -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS bfgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/bfgminer --scrypt -S gridseed:/dev/ttyACM1 --set-device gridseed:clock=820 --retries=2 -o stratum+tcp://[pool of choice]
or: su - minera -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS bfgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/bfgminer --scrypt --scan=all --set gsd:clock=820 --retries=2-o stratum+tcp://(pool of choice) That's all I got but I have tested all these settings and they all work. Some better than others, but you know every blade is a diferent creature. Good luck! |

It's possible that nicehash blocked your IP or your BTC address but I guess they would have to have a good reason to do it.
Ask them!

Is anyone else having issues connecting to the Nicehash pool to mine SHA256? My Antminers just say the pool is Dead, my settings all appear to be correct and it worked a few days ago just fine. Now that the Daily price has gone up I wanted to switch but I cant get back on now???
I have two S3 connected to nicehash as we speak. No problems, at least for now That is very odd they are working with Westhash but not Nicehash Check your password/price All OK, Password = X I had it set to p=.0255 but changed to X because my Antminers never flipped back when the rates went up, and now it just says Dead when trying to mine on Nicehash! Same settings work perfectly well on Westhash though??? Nicehash doesn't not like me anymore  Try setting it to p=0.001 and take it from there |

OK, what the heck am I doing wrong?
1st off, did I read all 69 pages of this thread? Yes, sort of. I was dead tired by the time I finished at 2:30 this morning and might have missed something. So if I just flat out missed it, point it out to me let me have my Duh! moment.
Now to the problem, I have Minera running for 2 GS Blades and 3 Blizzards. The performance on the blades sucks. I have tried just about every setting I can think of and still crap. Plugging the USB hub into a Windows PC and running BFG all is good.
Any thoughts / settings / tweaks?
Quick edit: all the HW errors are from start up they do not go up in any meaningful way over 3+ hours.
-Dave
Are you setting the correct frequency for the blades? Have you tried using cpuminer for the blades? What about cgminer-zeus? I gave up on bfgminer for my blades as it produces very high HW errors but I have been getting very stable results, both with cpuminer and with cgminer-zeus |

@Trimegistus I didn't touch cgminer-dmaxl binary file cause the author didn't change anything. (and of course it's still bugged imho)
Yeah, but I've been getting stable results ever since you released the first multi-miner version. I'll update and see what happens ;-) |

Hello there, Minera 0.3.5 is out!* Added switcher instead checkbox * Added export/import complete system settings * Added save/load/share miner configs * Fixed issue with cgminerStartupScript * Updated BfGminer to 4.7.0 and CGminer to latest commit * Added fixed header * Many minor bug fixes Some notes on sharing miner configs: first of all, as you can read in the settings page, POOL INFOS will never be shared, sharing a config requires to insert a description of the config, each config will be moderated and last as soon as I have some configs sent by you I'll start working on the public repository to look at them. That said, as usual feedbacks are very welcome. Have a great day! Did you keep the cgminer-dmaxl-zeus with Gridseed support? |
