I would like to see the ANN section broken up by algo type - scrypt, X11, etc...

not me - there's no oxygen there...

but seriously - if you want the code written to select the data based on multiple drop downs I can do that...

it aint rocket science - which is exactly what is required to fly to the moon Smiley
624  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New site for analysing crypto coins on: June 27, 2014, 10:30:54 AM

I see but what if I want scrypt only and < 1 month - you should have multiple drop down windows for granularity in searching

yes - plug in all four sockets!


yes - it's my understanding that the Launcher was changed from 1 80 chip board to two smaller boards (to aid on cooling)

make you you've downloaded the correct firmware from the Hashra site - it's odd that it would not work out of the box since one one unit thus far (that we heard about) was delivered damaged.


626  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: HASHRA - LUNAR SERIES - ASIC SCRYPT MINERS on: June 27, 2014, 09:48:34 AM


 make sure you're not plugging all 8 pins either - only plug in the 6 pin pcie connector not the additional 2 pin connector on the pcie.

[/quote]

I actually do have all four PCIE connection slots plugged in with 6 pin PCIEs. The directions didn't say to only use two and one could only assume that since it came with four you must use all four. I'm going to try that right now unless you are warning me to not 8 pin PCIEs and I am just misunderstanding? Either way, thank you very much for the information.

For informational purposes, what specific kinds of problems could I expect having all four PCIE connections being used if that is not to be done with the 14 MHs version?


And for further reference, the miner after a few days of mining has performed as advertised. I'm getting a consistent 13.5 to 15 MHs via pooled mining used through a direct PC USB connection. The only problem I'm getting is when I'm solo mining I'll get some good hash rates at first but then it will progressively slow down within 10 minutes or so. My understanding is that by design you were meant to use the miner via a Raspberry Pi so that may be causing the hash rate to go down during solo mining. As a note, when I first started solo mining with my Antminer S1 I had to adjust the settings to accommodate the miner before the solo mining hash rate was to my liking and doing similar adjusting is getting me longer solo mining sessions with this unit so it could just be a matter of finding the magic numbers I require.
[/quote]

the instructions say to only use 6 of the 8 pins.

do not use the extra 2 pins that would normally connect to a GPU board (the little 2 pin plug - do not plug that into the back of the Hashra unit)

Just to let you guys I'm still fiddling with it but so far the Raspberry Pi software needs more work. I can't get the LL to connect to anything through it but if I just connect the LL directly to my PC ( although I'm using a hub for it ) with the USB cable, like you would a jalapeno, it works just fine. So far it's chugging along without any problems and aside from the firmware not working everything is in order and of good quality. I am using the CGminer version that is available at the Hashra site and I've been solo mining to test it out but will go to a pool next in a few hours. I also appreciate the manufacturer doing "the paperclip thing" in advance with the power switch but make sure the factory people press it in all the way. It kept powering down on me until I realized that it was not pressed in all the way in.

The error with the firmware has to do with the "socket can't connect" issue I have seen online already. I also get different messages like the pool had no credentials and the GUI will hang indefinitely until I close and reopened the browser every time I save, restart, or reboot. Plus, it seems to hate Firefox. I could only get it to load once with it and the rest of the time I had to use IE to access the dashboard. So unless it's user error it needs fixing but I spent quite a few hours trying to get it to work. But in the end, so long as it hashes I could always use a third party dashboard in the meantime.



What are you using to power your Pi?  Quite often lack of power to the Pi can give weird results.  When I used the cable that came with it, the NIC would not power up.  Just grab a micro usb phone charger that outputs at least 1A (1000mA) and that will be sufficient.  Don't be concerned if the charger output's greater than 1A as the Pi will only draw what it needs.  Voltage on the other hand is a different matter, micro USB phone chargers output 5v, just make sure if you decide to use any other power source that it is only 5v, and that the 5v is steady.

Also which miner do you have?  As it appears from the support page that there is different firmware for the Lunar Lander and Lunar Launcher, so it's worth double checking that you are running the correct version by downloading the correct one from the support website and flashing it to a new SD card.  Think you only need a 4Gb card, but I generally use 8gb ones with my Pi's.

I'm using the USB power connecter that it comes with so it's directly connected to my PSU with does have enough power for the unit but I will try a phone charger next. My PSU is a CorsairTX750. The construction does look makeshift and I did have the earlier problem with the power switch so it's not out of the question that it could be a minor assembly issue. I am using the controla that came with the unit itself and I made sure the it was update to date when I started the unit. I'm using the 14 MHs version and unless they packed and wrote the wrong version on my SD card it should be correct the version.

I knew there was going to be a price drop on the units be no so fast! It's under $1000 so quick. If you're willing to wait of course, ha!


I would do this - assuming you have ssh

ssh to the Pi once it's up and running login using pi/controla

then do this : "tail -f /var/log/syslog" and report those results to support@hashra.com - Their support guy is great and can help you determine the problem -  though if you're using one of their 28 mh units you don't have enough power to the miner.

Mine draws 960 watts on the killawatt meter. for the 14mh unit you should be fine with the 750w psu - make sure you're not plugging all 8 pins either - only plug in the 6 pin pcie connector not the additional 2 pin connector on the pcie.

good luck

Jeff

it would be nice if we could filter by coin type - scrypt, sha-256, scrypt-n , x11 etc.


you can, the filters are there, at the end of the list

I can't seem to find that...

yes - the power cable that comes with the Pi rarely works. You'll know it's not working if the link light on your hub does not light up - all the lights in the Pi should be lit brightly. I got the first Hashra unit in the U.S. and I found this out immediately. fortunately for me I had a spare pi and I had a spre power cable for an android because I needed one for each of my Hashra units.

so this is still a giveaway thread.

disagree - it's an ANN for a coin that happens to include a giveaway

one question: you mention the coins will be given to 'members' - how is 'membership' determined. I'd hate to see coins go to people who have expressed no interest. I think the coins should be given only to people who have installed the wallet and have coins in the wallet from mining.

how about that?

Can we get a 3rd party to hold the premine? We should use multisig to commit any transactions using the premine

I don't think this is needed, the development team are reliable.
However, I have lots of machines (pc and mac) here at home and could easily install a wallet on an empty till to hold the pre-mine as escrow.
You will note that I have nothing to hide, by my signature links, and if I run away with any escrow, feel free to hunt me down (this wouldn't be difficult)

lol

at the end of the day, I will reiterate; I don't feel the dev team need a premine escrow, but if the community are happier to have one, i will offer to hold it at no cost, free of charge.

Good idea! We already thought about that, but we had a different idea, we just wanted to make some unique public address where we send the premine.
Than make a block explorer, if there wouldn't be anyone out there who would make a nice one for us than we could make a basic one with Abe.
With this everybody could follow the premine transactions, and we would make a label to each one, what was it to spend on.

But if the community would like some another option we could agree with that, maybe that would be a good option too, if we would divide the coins between 5-10 escrow, and anytime we want some fund we would write a message in this thread.

We could do this, because we use our own funds for the servers, and we develop our own apps not any 3rd party developer company Smiley

So after paying out for the initial bounties we would need some coins to change it to btc, it is only for votes on mintpal, that would be 5%-10% of the whole premine.

The other 80-90% would go towards the sites, whose want XXX as a payment option, after each order they got in a month, we increase their revenue by a given percent.

This would give sites some incentive, we hope.

Maybe we should wait till others say what is in their mind, then we could make a vote pool.

thanks - this is all reasonable and is the kind of stuff you should have put in the OP or reserved the second post.

fine - give us the names of the development team since you somehow 'mystically' know they're reliable.

this aint trolling, it just due diligence that's all - I only ask what I'd expect if I were in the same position.

bad language and childish demands

I have no requirement to give proof of anything. thanks.

fine - then I won't mine your coin - you sound like just another scammer...

dude you have no credibility whatsoever - what's your eal username out here so we can check you out.

because NO ONE just shows up here and announces a coin - everyone's been on the forum for a period of time and learns the tricks before the launch a coin.
