Perhaps your computer is on a different subnet?
Your Ip must be 192.168.1.X in order to communicate with the blade

Question:
Is it okay to connect wires from two molex from the PSU than just getting a splitter? Do you HAVE to have a splitter? If not then what is the alternative. I didnt seem to find any here..



You can cut the wires on your PSU and connect them directly to the green plug.

It's cleaner to do with the splitters though, and gives you a little more length to work with.

My issue is:

PSU will not stay on while connected to blade.
Will power on when NOT connected to blade.
So I went out and bought another PSU. Same issue. Yes Im using the paperclip in the appropriate pins.

it happened to me at first then i checked the cables that goes inside the green thing and it was loose after that it is smooth sailing


So it's a cable issue between the wires and that green adapter you put them in that plugs into the blade. Yes?


yes i unscrewed it you can see it there is a square that goes up and down with the screw put the wire in tight and screw it back

and give it a try

its been running sold for 12 hours now

Yeah i did all that. No dice.

That sounds like the power draw is too much, tripping the psu, perhaps your wire is too thin, or there is a short somewhere?
Perhaps a pin on the board is touching something?

I'll take 14, please let us know where to direct our BTC.

Can you guarantee a shipping date, or can we wait until they show up at your door before we pay?

That's just my 2 cents. I'm not necesarily voting for or against the option. I just want to clarify that it most likely doesn't make sense for what we're discussing here.

It was an example number....

That's not possible unless you are ok with used units that are mining while waiting "on the shelf"  Unless it's tiny usb sticks or at a certain point I'm sure the 25GH units will join their fate no significantly larger Gh units would just sit there waiting for a buyer when they can be generating BTC.

Works for ASICMiners
They never reach a shelf because the demand is so high. In the time it takes for you to even get it from the fab you've sold it.
It just means not selling beyond capacity, when 100 units start pumping down the factory line, you offer 100 units to the people. Rather then take in 10,000 orders for units to try and catch up on

You already hit the nail on the head.  50BTC @ 103 TH/s means they should find blocks 4x as fast as BitMinter.  Which, they do...  Obviously, you only get paid 1/4 per block, but it does reduce variance.

Ok cool.
Coincidently, we just got the luckiest block you could ever hope for!!  Shocked

You and me both! I've got the interface sorted. Using firefox on ubuntu. I think it was because I didn't have the trailing comma on the server and user:pass fields. Now that's sorted, next question stratum or gwp? I'm using bitminter.com as from previous posts this pool works with these blades.

Yes, specifying only 1 destination on any of the fields makes it go super funky.

And Yes, BitMinter works..
But, I tried out stratum via proxy, as Pistachio said, and yeah it is a hell of a lot more stable over stratum than directly from the blade.

The commandline for the proxy is very simple. don't try specifying a bunch of things, just let it do its thing.

Why are our block builds so terrible on this pool these days?

My devices on the 50btc pool rarely exceed 4 hour blocks.
Where as on minter, we get these crazy 18 hour blocks!? with most blocks exceeding 6 hours

Is this just a simple fact of not having enough power to pump into the network relative to everyone else?
Minter being at 24TH and 50btc being at 103TH seems like the primary difference.
Or is it that the merged mining affects this?

I was getting low hash rates using port 8332 and 192.31.187.114 for the server. It did not seem to want to connect directly with port 3333. What settings have you found that work? I would much rather just run them directly.    

I'm using

Ports: 8332,8332
Server: mint.bitminter.com,mint.bitminter.com
User:Pass: user_worker:pass,user_worker:pass

EDIT: And the blade itself always reports a low  hash for me, yet after a few minutes I can see on the pool that they are hashing fine

mining_proxy -o mint.bitminter.com:8332 -u Pistachio_worker1 -p x

Just wondering why you are using a proxy in this case? I am able to mine on bitminter directly from the blade.

50btc and others don't appear to play nice.. but bitminter does.
51  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: September 10, 2013, 04:11:23 AM
Ok, noobish question here. I have the latest (old blade) revision and for some reason when I connect it, All i hear are a few 'clicks' and then nothing.

 Silly question: Did you perhaps forget to plug in the red fuse ?

The newest (old) blades have no red fuse? or did mine just really freaking ship without one.. Actually, I didn't get a Green connector either.. Did my blade arrive incomplete?

Ok... So my symptom is the same as this... except that I do have a red fuse, it is unbroken, and is inserted...
Yet same problem.. I don't get any ethernet lights on my switch, the blade doesn't appear to be doing anything, even though it sounds like it might be starting up. Those clicks mentioned plus a slight hum of a capacitor

Please help? :/

OK! So for anyone else experiencing this issue.. It is resolved! (I also had the reset/dropout/low-hash issue, also resolved!)

I wasn't doing anything wrong. My PSU was faulty. Maybe it had been gathering dust too long (was from my PC since the last time I upgraded it)
Got a new PSU, just a little 350W'er, plugged it in, VRRROOOM! blades powered up no hassle at all!

Put in my 2 pools in and I had some hash, but it was slow, and resetting etc.. I was using 50btc and BitMinter as my pools... with a bit of trial and error I worked out 50btc was unstable
so I now use only BitMinter and I have blades hashing away at 10Ghs on LOW without hassle. (No Proxy)
So on that issue I'd say it's most likely the pool you're connecting to doesn't play nice with the blades miner (well, it was in my case anyway!)

Hope this helps the next poor stressed out soul that his a similar issue! Smiley

Hi guys, I keep seeing references for a schematic and to friedcats user guide.   It would seem my reseller couldn't be arsed placing them with the miners so I'm trying to find them through these threads.   Did not see it in Friedcats latest thread started early sept.   If anyone has a link it would be greatly appreciated.

cheers



That what you were after?

PM me some pictures of the wiring, you're doing something wrong. An unloaded PSU still turns on with a paperclip in.

Will do later this afternoon, thanks! (was trying to get it done in my lunchbreak, so much for that lol)

About the paperclip, I just meant, I thought you could take the paperclip out once the PSU started, provided there was enough load. Either way works for me, I'm just leaving it in for now, and PSU hums away.
I had a multimeter but I can't find it when I really need it the most (always the way right?) I'll buy a cheap one this afternoon on my way home.

Hi!

I got my blades today (finally, customs is a batch...)

Anyway, I can't seem to get power to them.. I have connected the yellow and black wires from my PSU as shown in your pictures
I am manually keeping my PSU alive by keeping a paperclip jammed in (and I can hear its fan spinning) - (Which means it isn't getting enough load to stay on right?)
But the board doesn't seem to power up (no ethernet light on the switch)

I am stuck on what to do next to troubleshoot this? does anyone have some suggestions or encountered this issue before?

Thanks!

And if i am not wrong, unless you were the one buying btc when it was 250 usd to purchase,  then you have made money by the way btc has risen in value?

I know in my case I certainly have. It was about 90$ when I bought coin for this venture. It has risen far more than the 5% that Sebastian will be keeping.
So yes, a 95% refund is brilliant, especially vs the very real possibility that we would see NOTHING (no chips, no coin)

Eve is just a troll

Trustworthy? do a bit more digging mate

They've started issuing some refunds, in the order of the loudest person first, to avoid litigation

The refunded coin was also traced back to their mining farm, where they were previously accused of mining with B2&B3 orders (miners showed up with dust on them, and existing mining settings), to which they denied and claimed no affiliation with said wallet address re-stating that "they don't mine at all". Additionally, there is photographic evidence (tracking number seen in photo and looked up) that confirms all of the chips being produced and successfully received by BitSynCom on-time for delivery to the customers, no explanation has been given in regards to this evidence. The suspicion is that they sold the chips to a higher bidder in china, but again, just as the mining accusation in the past was denied, so too, is this accusation simply denied by them, without explanation. B3 order customers requested their refunds months ago, and have only started getting them now because of the threatening noise sent BitSynComs direction caused by the chip issue. It seems they thought they could trickle out chips slowly in a BFL style scam, but their customers didn't stand for it.

You are right, it's good that refunds are coming through, which keeps them above BFL, and might yet save them.
But please don't say they are trustworthy
