Set Powertune to a lower level, this helps to run more stable.
Powertune is set to zero on all four cards. I don't think the 5xxx and 6xxx GPUs have the powertune option. Sam, it's been running for about 12 hours now without a hiccup, so I think it will be okay for now. I am getting some HW errors on GPU3. None on the rest. Should I be worried?  In my experience HW: errors eventually lead to system destabilization so I would lower the clocks by 5Mhz increments until the stop. If your temp on that GPU is OK, around 75c or whatever your temp target is it should be OK though. But I'm still baffled as to why you can't raise intensity to 8 or 9 on the none display GPU's. |

I'm running all of this from a EVGA 750w power supply.
4 GPU's on a 750W P/S may be too much for it. Maybe someone can chime in on that who has had that many GPU's. I was running two 5xxx GPU's on a 600W and that seemed OK. Sam |

1 block doesnt take long to confirm as valid.. 120 do, since generally one wouldnt expect to generate 120 blocks within a few seconds
120? i'm not sure what you are saying. afraid i'm misunderstanding something. The blocks are a chain. The more blocks you go down a chain the less risk there is that its an invalid fork. So if a block has 120 confirmations, 120 blocks following it, then you can safely assume that your not paying out on an orphaned block or chain. I think. Sam |

Here's a screenshot: GPU0=6870 GPU1=6850 GPU2=6850 GPU3=5870  So are you saying that if you set your intensity higher than 5 or 6 it crash's? Your hash rates for each GPU seem to be OK. According to the hardware comparison chart you could probably do a little better. Sam https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison |

Ok, been playing with CGminer for hours now and I think this is the best I'm going to do, which is about 100 MH/s more than with GUIminer. The driver starts crashing if I raise the intensity above these values. As it is, I'm getting an occasional HW error on GPU3. Are you supposed to set the intensity first and then adjust your clock speeds or vice verse? I initially left the intensity on dynamic, adjusted the clock speeds, and then increased the intensity until the driver crashed.
I would raise the engine clock until it crash's and then back it off. Intensity is usually fairly static at 8 or 9. I would use 8 on 5xxx cards and 9 on 6xxx cards. Dynamic is for use with the GPU that is running the display so that it can adjust intensity on the fly according to how much GUI interaction you need. I definitely would not go over intensity of 9 on 5xxx or 10 on 6xxx cards I adjusted my clocks till I didn't get any hardware error's. Sam |

I've been mining with 2Gh/s for 9 hours and my BTC balance has not changed. Can someone please enlighten me?
A block hasn't been found in the last 9 hours by Deepbit? Maybe? so based upon that, is it a good assumption that deepbit is dead? Why would that be a good assumption? There are several medium sized pools that go over 9 or even 24 hours between rounds at this difficulty. If you don't like that then you can switch to Deepbits PPS which has a 10% fee but you won't have to wait till a block gets solved to get your revenue. |

To prospective buyers:
Please do your research in profitability and network speed projections and note that these ASICs will most likely never break even.
I am tired of people selling overpriced mining equipment for prices that will never break even, and even worse... people actually buy them.
Don't be the sucker that buys them from him please, because you will not make a penny off them (if not lose money which is more likely IMO.)
PS: Sorry to crap on your thread OP, but I'm not going to let people entice noobs into buying overpriced hardware if I can do something about it.
I do believe most know that it will take a VERY LONG time for these to make much profit if the price doesn't go back up. I can only speak for myself for buying these, I did because they are available now. They are high priced in comparison to the Avalons you purchased in your group buy. But I have my ASIC's from Canary's previous Group Buy. Do you have your Avalons from yours? Just curious. Sam |

Sorry os2sam, didn't mean to come across that way. Everybody recommends CGminer over GUIminer, so it's something I'm doing wrong. In using the command line, do you type everything in each time? I see there is a way of creating a .bat file. Is that what you're doing.
Yep, I'm using a .bat file. Nothing to apologize for, I wasn't sure if you were adding stuff to the .conf file or if it generated it itself. Now I know it generated the extra stuff itself. Still seems like allot of extra stuff though. Others .conf file that people have posted don't seem to have that many settings. If your driver and SDK combo is good for GUIMiner it should be good for CGMiner too. You shouldn't need to change anything with your driver or OpenCL SDK. I would increase your intensity to 9 or so and enable auto-gpu. Sam |

***Insert standard "I tried to search" disclaimer***
I am getting an error with cgminer 3.2.1; windows7 x64; BFL Jalapeno: "Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit" I have installed the winUSB drivers. The Jalapeno works fine with BFGminer and the other drivers. Does anyone have any suggestions, as I would prefer to use cgminer?
This has been discussed allot. Just look back in a few of the recent pages. A couple of folks have changed the code to add a longer wait and the authors have it fixed in the git tree. But the fix hasn't been released yet. So you can compile the code yourself and test it or wait for the next release. Sam |

os2sam, didn't even realize that I'm micromanaging. In researching how to us CGMiner I was told to use the config file versus the command line. So, all I did was start CGminer up and write the config file. I only changed a few settings. I'll remove the ones you suggested.
I'm back to using 11.11 and sdk 2.5 with GUIminer and everything is working great. I just don't see the advantage to CGminer, at least not yet.
My point was that I don't know what all is in or required in a .conf file. I just add the settings that I need in a command line. It seems to me that the .conf files have gotten a bit bloated and difficult to know what does and doesn't need to be set. I'll stick with my simple command line. I don't know nothing about guiminer as I have never used it. All I know is that there are things that only CGMiner would do such as overclocking the engine, underclocking the memory and managing temperature that I was unable to do with other miner and software configurations. But hey, use whatever works good for you. Good Luck, Sam |

your intensity is kinda low. i know some people running at intensity 20....
That's probably for scrypt mining NOT Bitcoin. Generally 8 or 9 is as high as you want to go for Bitcoin with 5 and 6xxx GPU's. But trial and error is always recommended to get the best for your particular GPU as each is a bit different. |

I'm not having much success with CGminer.
"intensity" : "5,d,5",
"vectors" : "2,2,2",
"worksize" : "128,128,128",
"kernel" : "phatk,phatk,phatk",
I don't use the .conf file as I prefer using command line options. But is seems you have way more stuff in there than you need. Let CGMiner do it's thing and quit trying to micro manage it. Your intensity is too low. Set it to 8 or 9 for GPU's not driving monitors and keep the one driving your monitor set to dynamic like you have it. Let CGMiner select the vectors, worksize and kernel so remove those from your file altogether, I think. Enable auto-gpu and enter a range for your engine clocks starting at 600Mhz or so to your Max Overclock speed. Sam |

Does the worker tail require the leading 0?

I'm trying to connect to Deepbit through BFGMiner and it isn't working. Is the below information correct? I'm trying to run these on BFL Jalapenos. bfgminer -o http://deepbit.net:8337 -u [USERNAME] -p [PASSWORD] The username is my email address so XXXX@GMail.comThe port should be 8332 not 8337 and your worker name should be your <email address>_<worker name> such as XXXX@GMail.com_Jalapenos or whatever your email is and the worker name you created. |

okay..I try to wait few more hour
still cannot I will report here
If after a few hours it still hasn't been included in a block, post here and PM [Tycho] and DeepBit. Sam |

I press in payment page and press my last payment(today)
then page jump to error page and tell me no such of transation
It either hasn't been included in a block yet or hasn't been confirmed yet. Most likely. |

If you download the latest version of cgminer (3.2.0) you just specify pool, user and pwd and it will discover the sticks automagically.
Not with USB 3.0, from what I understand. I'm using USB 2.0 with CGMiner 3.2.1 and it is VERY easy to get it working. I am VERY happy with CGMiner 3.2.1, so far anyway  . Sam |

I got a problem
i set my auto paid at 0.01
but today system already deduct my DeeBit Balance and i get nothing
what happend ?
please forgive my broken english >_<
It's been taking for some folks a day or more to confirm payouts. Your English look's good to me Sam |

It is promising that I'm not alone with this problem, tried to search for it but just can't define correctly the search  Did you look in the mining support board? |
