Sounds like you might need a fire suppression system in your work room. Update: I just had that shorted jalapeno erupt in a mini fireball on the bench. Cool!
Apparently removing the incinerated FETs allowed 12 volts to go through the little caps. Each cap lit up like a little sun on 2 amps of power, then the next one went off. Counted three before I could crowbar the supply.
Wow. Like little arc lamps on your jalapeno!
Note: This one was a June 2013 model with little FETs. I think the fan threw a blade, and the unit overheated the FETs and started a small fire on the board before the power supply blew. Very interesting.

Thanks I was not sure. Dogie is going to put out a new firmware for Gen1's soon with cgminer 4+ on it. I hope that will help a bit more. I will try it when he gets it ready. I have a question.
I seem to get allot of stales with my 70 gh/s Avalon.
Is there a setting I should be changing to lower that a bit and maximize my output or is that just the way it goes?
Thanks
Avalons definitely produced higher stales than other hardware in my experience. My Avalon averaged ~1.2-1.4% stale, while my ASICMINER USBs averaged ~0.2% on the same connection. There's really not much that can be done about it, the problem lies in hardware/firmware. |

Excellent! Thanks, that will be great. So far by the way my DualMiner has been working great with the pre-release. Question though can it sync all coins from all rigs so if you have a couple on one rig but not the other and the same a couple coins on another that are not on the main one can they sync so you have them all?
That will take some initial manual cleanup but it's already pretty easy to do with MultiMiner Remoting. If you select a remote instance, you can go to Configure Coins to see that machine's configurations. Then you can click the Export button to export the configurations. Next select another remote or local instance and again go to Configure Coins. Click Import and import the exported coin configurations. This will merge them all together. |

Your welcome. I really feel it is the best software out for mining. Fixed.  Hi Everyone. I just wanted to share my article on MultiMiner with you all. Thanks Nate for creating a great program that has made mining for me not only easy but fun. I'm working hard to get information about mining out there to everyone and acknowledge the people who work so hard to keep us mining with both software and hardware. You have all been a great help and more articles on new hardware, software and related things will be coming out as I get my hands on them. Thank you all for being such a great community. http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2014/03/02/multiminer-mining-made-easy/Thank you very much for that! I appreciate it. Folks are always asking for more written words about MultiMiner and it's just something I rarely have time for. Two Ls in my last name though  |

That is great. I was actually was going to ask about that soon. That will make it so much easier. Question though can it sync all coins from all rigs so if you have a couple on one rig but not the other and the same a couple coins on another that are not on the main one can they sync so you have them all? Here's a quick preview of a new feature coming in the next release: This should make life even easier for users of MultiMiner Remoting! Happing mining |

Very cool. Happy mining. You are right as well though the setup and tweaking is half the fun. Thanks Brandon, I have been looking at scrypt mining also, and am just using this as an excuse to spend more time in my office with my computers and toys. I don't really expect to make any real money from this or at least turn a measurable profit. I do have an abundance of PSU's laying around in the 750-1200watt range.
I will look more into the Asicminer Cube, and the S1.
The only other ones I have looked at have been the Blockerupter blades. But those still seem a bit high per Ghash.
I do appreciate all of that info, I have basically just left my Jalapeno running on another pool for a pretty long time and am just now getting the time to start reading and planning for a bigger mining rig. It is some time off but I would like to hit 500-700 Ghash within the next month or so.
3 Antminers would currently be the only way to go if you're hoping to get above 500GHs without breaking the bank. I don't think you could even buy secondhand gear for less money. ASICMiner may soon have some exciting new miners. But this is a game where waiting is deadly to your income. If I was just getting into mining now I might just start with the first wave of Gridseed Scrypt ASIC miners and skip Bitcoin mining altogether. I've been mining since sep 2011, just with a few tours overseas, I left my GPU's and a BFL block running idle for most of my mining time. I do agree that to someone just starting, scrypt would be the way to go, but for me I don't honestly care about turning a profit on this, its purely a hobby for me. I am now getting into migrating to new hardware, and yes I am really out of touch on it all. The only thing I do when I sell coins is put it back into this. Long story short, I just dumped a large portion of coins I have made since I started(first time ever selling) and have $7868 to spend on hardware and would like to know which way to go. It looks like the Antminer S1 is the best choice right now unless there is another secret powerhouse out there? I think antminers are the best bang for your buck at the moment. Like anything else, though, your bang will decrease as time goes by with increasing difficulty. M Thank you guys, I just ordered 3 of them and am hoping for some fun of setting them up atleast, I also ordered 20 U1's just incase the set up of the S1's goes quicker then I want. |

Thanks for the info. I wish I knew about it earlier. This is crypto currencies main failure. There is no way to get recompense from a scammer. |

Cool deal. Thanks for checking it out. Have a great rest of the weekend. Odd thing going on lately.
When I am in the MobileMiner app on my android it only shows one of my USB devices.
Not sure what is causing that. I went though and checked my settings and nothing had changed.
It's the PR of BFGMiner 4.0. It has a bug in the RPC API causing this. We're looking into it. |

With MultiMiner you setup a stratum proxy that will allow you to point the Avalon at the pool of your choice or possibly solo mine. Ask on the MultiMiner thread as many people there can help you get going. Plus as was said before if you check on the P2Pool threads you will get lots of help doing what you want as well. Will check into multi miner. I meant the ip of the miner. I mine scrypt with gpus solo with wallets on different pc's with no problem. I'll try multi miner and report back, thanks for the help!
Edit: I don't think multi miner will help as I cannot install it on the avalon. It is a stand alone unit. It has cgminer installed on it. I did mange to get the avalon to connect to my wallet, but cgminer shows no hashrate and all getworks.

I would run MultiMiner and use it's as a stratum. From there you can setup to mine on pools and even solo mine. The easy to use GUI makes setup easy and nwools supports it solidly answering questions right on here in this thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248173.0I have been very careful. I run the wallets on a pc that has nothing on it anyway. My question was though, how would I solo mine these coins from the avalon clone. I put rpcallowip=thewalletsip in the config for the coin, but the miner will not connect to the wallet. I've opened the ports on my router. I've done rather well mining alts, it just sucks that I always find over double the blocks for the pools as I actually get paid out, and would love to solo.

I agree on the exchange front. There are too few that are any good and some of the established one's are slow to pick up new coins that are worth it. I'm hoping that I can earn a bit more using RollerBot to help me navigate through it all. Slow day today
Spent most of the day taking the family to the Museum of Natural History for a little break in the action.
Spoke to several exchanges today about API specifics, many of them newer exchanges just starting out. Again, my goal is to provide a trading platform that will support as many exchanges as possible to offer a lot of diversity. All I can say is that things are looking great on the exchange front. While some seem to hate seeing new exchanges popping up - I personally love it. Competition not only keeps trade fees in check, but the more exchanges that we have the more we can diversify and reduce our personal risk.
I'll be getting an early start tomorrow and hope to get quite a bit accomplished

You could try Peercoin or some of the others that have lower total difficulties. Here is a good list of SHA coins that it should be able to mine. https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/179-sha-256-cryptocoins/Check them out and see how they are doing in the exchanges then decide a couple and try them out. I hope it helps you out. I know people here hate altcoins. But no one else can answer my questions. I have Btmine avalon clone. I have actually roi'ed it with sha altcoins. Currently I have to use pools for my avalon. I would love to be able to solo mine sha alt coins with it. I have the ip of my miner in my .conf for the wallet but it still does not connect. I've heard that it's basically impossible to solo sha altcoins with an avalon. Is this correct?

That is solid. What are you pulling power wise with that setup? |

Super fast shipping! It's already here and crunching away. Thanks! |

I cannot mine Vert with it either. I think you have to use Verts own mining software for now. Is it compatible with vertminer?
I tried to install vertminer under the bfgminer repository in multiminer and renaming the vertminer executable in bfgminer but it doesn't work (I can't scan the devices). I thought we could choose the miner engine?
I used it with linux bamt.
Is there a way to make it work with something else than bfgminer?
We've mentioned this to the Vertcoin devs already afaik. If you'd like support for Vertcoin (or really any algorithm) please ask the developers to consider committing / merging their code into bfgminer rather than forking older miners. There's really no need for everyone to keep making 100 slightly-different-variations of the same miner. In fact it's a pain-in-the-ass to support  . |

That would be great for the Gen 1 Avalon's. Thanks and I hope you feel better soon. Hello all. I've posted my setup guide for Avalon2 units and modules, including a cooling mod. I also have a proposed one for gen 1 Avalons which I'll write up [after I've finished dying of this flu], if there's any demand. **Avalon Avalon2 setup guide** |
