Thanks buyer99. Was using chome, tried firefox and win explorer all with slightly different results, but still no joy. I agree it looks like a browser issue because the posted info does not seem to be applied to the correct fields. What browser (and OS) are you using?

I am using Win7 64bit and using chrome to talk to it.

So..... Is the interface screwed up or does it look correct right now? I guess I'm a little confused as to what exactly is happening.

Can anybody help. My blade is running, however I am having problems updating the server & user:pass details. Whenever I enter the details and click the update/restart button the web interface is showing a garbled version of the server. Example of the output after the update her

stratum+tcp://mmpool.bitparking.update=Update/Restart,USPA=enginehead-two:pass&update=Update/Restart&USPA=Update/Restart,updatupdate=Update/Restart,USPA=enginehead-two:pass&update=Update/R,update=Update/Restart,USPA=enginehead-two:pass&update=Update/Restart&USPA=Update/Restart,updatupdate=Update/Restart,USPA=enginehead-two:pass&update=Update/R
the more I try to update the more gibberish I get. Help! I would love to get this hashing tonight.

After you "update/Restart"... have you tried giving it a 30sec to a minute to restart and then rebrowse to the config page? Mine won't connect at all while restarting. Doesn't take long for the blades to restart, but maybe your browser is not interpreting the restart correctly?

I'm in desperate need of help with setting up my Blades on BTCGuild.  Yes, I've tried to read and comprehend everything on the entire forum regarding this issue but it just goes over my head.  I'm hopeless when it comes to Command Prompts and the like.  I need step-by-step, fool-proof instructions.

.5 BTC (half BTC) reward to the person who gets me hashing first.  Feel free to PM.

Just a note... buyer99 helped me get my Blades running.  It literally took him all evening to crack my thick skull.  He well-earned the bounty and my many, many thanks!  He's a very patient man indeed.

Thanks for the props!! Glad to know I was able to help you get them going in the end....  If anyone else happens to need some technical assistance, feel free to PM me.  Cool

I am going to try switching the super small fuse that it came with to see if that helps.

They are very small.... Good luck man, sorry to hear about the trouble.

Hi, I cannot get two of the new blades to power up (see pic below). Any advise on what I am doing wrong? I am using a 750w Thermaltake PSU that should be more than enough power to run both boards. I have only tried to plug in one at a time so far. There appears to be a brief flash of lights the first time I plug it in and then nothing. Thanks,



I'm looking at mine right now to compare.... Did you swap the yellow and the black? Comparing them to mine looks like they may be on the wrong sides of the green plug. Yellow for +

Just got my V.2 blade this morning. Got everything hooked up and configured. Dogie your guide has helped me get this far and for this I thank you and have sent you a small tip..

Problem I am running into with the blade is that it keeps restarting right around 2 minutes 15 seconds. Does this sound like a power issue to anyone? 750w supply dual rail.. I used a dual molex into PCIe splitter and attached the two yellow wires on the positive screws of the green plug and two black on the negative side screws.

EDIT: I have attached each side of the molex-PCIe power splitter to two different power "chains." Honestly I don't know if the power is being pulled from two different rails or not. Has anyone used the PCIe power, like with a PCI express power extension cable as the splice straight to one PCIe power line?

Update: All is well, I guess it was just having a network/configuration problem? Seems that these blades will just keep restarting themselves if they think something is wrong... I went ahead and rebuilt BFGminer on my pi, and added libmicrohttpd-dev this time around. This runs an internal getwork server when the --http-port xxxx option is used. Pointed the blade to my pi and now all my USB sticks along with my blade are hashing together on one worker with a diff of 16 and over 19GH!

supermicro makes some nice hardware but SSD still has not made me all giggidy in the server world. There lifespan still is not where i want it.

Are you kidding me with raid1?  Shocked  Why not raid 6? raid5 is too glitchy

SSDs are fine if you buy Enterprise drives, which are massively over-provisioned.

RAID1 is perfectly fine too - if you've got good backups, it's very difficult to beat as far as performance goes.  The servers here at work run a pair of 300GB 2.5" 15k SAS drives in RAID1, and they run very well, but they're only general purpose servers - no big database stuff.  Data is on a 8 spindle RAID6.

SSD's have shown to be rock solid for me. Especially the Crucial M4.

As for RAID.... Raid 6 is probably the best for data with being able to lose two drives. But, for the server partition I think that 4 SSD's in RAID 10 is unbeatable. The fastest systems I have ever built are all running 4 x SSD in a RAID 10. Data on RAID 5 and the most critical data arrays are RAID 6.

EDIT: Not only does RAID 10 provide ultimate performance, it has redundancy as well.

I can't find any current information on how to plug the new style Blades into a standard PSU.  My order from Canary for 2 Blades just arrived today and all of the old how-to instructions only apply to the old design with different power connectors.  Was I suppose to get some kind of adapter?

I have a backplane coming from a different source.  Hopefully that will make it easier.  I'd rather not be fashioning my own connectors.  Frankly, that's just ridiculous.

Thanks in advance for any help!

The green plugs should be somewhere in the package.. Mine was just down in the padded envelope. Almost missed it....

That heatsink is so huge I wonder IF you even need Fans?!

The whole blade measures just a hair over 6" by 8" and the heatsink covers almost the whole PCB. The heatsink is deep and dense. Definitely a little heavier than I thought it would be.

A very exciting morning.. Excellent Job Canary!

Thank You   Grin

Hmm this coinbase thing seems to be getting offtopic in canary's thread maybe someone should make a new topic somewhere more appropriate so there isn't pages and pages of screw coinbase when he's trying to run a business.

While I do agree with you. Even Canary has Coinbase linked in his signature. But yes I think we should stop hatin on coinbase inside of the wrong thread. Move it to the Reddit thread...

EDIT: I have cleaned up my posts regarding coinbase as well.

Well not much seems to be happening with bitinstant and some other exchanges have just closed doors...

Could it be Only for Weekend Transactions?

It says per week though...

Just got my level 2 recently. Checked just now and it does say I have a limit of 50 daily, but an instant limit of 10 weekly... =/

Thanks for that.. Nice Doc.

Thanks to everyone for helping out. Hopefully this thread will help out some other Newb in the future.

Got the blade but it seems broken, it shows all "x" in Chip status  Sad

Make sure you have a sufficient power supply.

Tried with a 500W and a single rail 750W, all "x"  Huh

Maybe it would help to post in Dogie's thread?

Got Black, Blue, Red and Gold... I think I'm only missing the silver ones.



I have yet to see an actual picture of a silver one!

This post has a silver one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137934.msg2629863#msg2629863

Cool, thanks for that. Now I'm satisfied. Not what I thought it was gonna look like. Guess I was expecting shiny... But still very cool with the yellow logo.

Blue sure are pretty aren't they?

Here is another shot.
