Ok, thanks again.
Will let you now how it goes tonight.
And yes I am learning about the constant problems ad tweeks.
And I will look up what trolling means.
Do read the ASIC-README included with cgminer. |

I've been mining for the last 10+ days stable@ 470 Gh/s with the old firmware on a Ubunutu 13.10 on Laptop w/Cgminer 3.09h2 , just can't get 3.12.3 to run like it was intended until the FW is out ,as per Ckolivas advice. So put the RPi for FW updates and that about it.
Indeed, it's really bugging me that the firmware is still lagging behind the driver that I wrote for it...  |

Not really, as GPU mining became irrelevant to bitcoin a year ago. Try the altcoin mining forum threads.

If someone (me) wanted to draft a proposed extension/standard stratum message, who would be the appropriate "body" to submit an RFC-like proposal to?
This thread is as close to an RFC like body you'll get since the pool operators and mining software authors worked from it. Thus the defacto standard for stratum is developed and discussed from here. Of course if you're interested in doing something for the sake of some altcoin's benefit only, I'm not interested... |

Direct USB connections to the hashing boards isn't supported. :-( CoinTerra Support (CoinTerra)

Unfortunately using an external controller is not possible without opening the box, and that would void the warranty.
Darn. |

No, I removed all scrypt code.

Thanks Storm2k5 and ckolivas I am going to try it out. When I got cgminer running on another computer once I had to put into a bat file something like this
"cgminer --scrypt --intensity 13 -g 2 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --temp-target 70 --auto-fan --temp-cutoff 90 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 -o stratum+tcp://world.wemineltc.com:3333 -u workername -p password"
Do i need settings like this for the Baby jet or do i just start cgminer and let it run?
Get rid of all the GPU shit in that command that I've struck out, but otherwise yes. |
|
|
|
I would love to do that I even have the PC to dedicate to that task. How do you do it. I can make cgminer work in windows if i copy some command lines. Does the baby jet need anything special. Will cgminer detect it?
They're set up the same as every usb device that cgminer mines on (usually with zadig, available on my website alongside cgminer). Instructions are in both README and ASIC-README included in the windows zip file. |

Mine have run 10 days straight with preview firmware and new cgminer... Pretty sure that's a major missing part of the stability equation for many people.
Are you using a pc or pi? The RPi is a toy and a piece of shit. Why anyone would run thousands of dollars worth of equipment off it is beyond me. Toss it and connect your devices to a real PC or laptop.

Any update on the firmware release?
+1 My BJ is still unstable. Needing a reboot every 48h or so. Cgminer 3.11 has proven to be the most stable so far but this baby(jet) sure is high maintenance. Hoping the FW update + cgminer 3.12 will resolve the stability issues. MinePeon Version: 0.2.4.3hf8 Miner Version: cgminer3.11.0hf1 HashFast Firmware: ebaa1a85 Mine have run 10 days straight with preview firmware and new cgminer... Pretty sure that's a major missing part of the stability equation for many people. |

Make sure you use a newer cgminer version that supports it.

New people come here for the bitcoin, think they can make money from it usually through mining, then get told the only way to make money is through altcoin mining. Then they enter the hell that is the infinite planes of altcoin and create their own coin, then proselytise the virtues of altcoins over bitcoin, and the cycle repeats.
IMO we'd be better without it, but you'd need mods to just keep tossing things in the bin all day. It would only be a matter of time before the talk died down.

Well my pi stoped reading it then the pi didn't connect to the internet at all but have been using with windows the past 3 days still have never hit 400 with mine at all highest I have been was 387 with the pi. Now with windows got running pretty good but at 370 and when overclocked to 630 and now only getting 380 with cg 3.11.0 I use only because 3.12.3 has too many resets with cgwatcher. But still never hit 400 and now I got to buy another pi tomorrow to see if minepeon would boost it up, and im talking about the stats on eligius. Wont even bother contacting hashfast because of course they rushed us our products when they were already a few months late and will not do anything because its past 10 days of having there shitty product.
My RPi worked fine until February 7th. I had it running on WiFi and was getting 420GH/s. Since then, it only reads the SD card once in a while. HashFast sent me a new SD card and the RPi rebooted when MinePeon registered on my network. Now, the RPi runs 5 to 10 minutes and reboots, if it reads the SD card, and when it reboots, it can't see the SD card. My BabyJet still gets 420 GH/s running on Ubuntu with BFGminer. If there is an easy way to install cgminer on Ubuntu, I haven't found it... When it comes to apt-get, github, etc. I am a total newbie... If you're on a modern ubuntu, I provide binaries for it already. wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-3.12.3-x86_64-built.tar.bz2tar xf cgminer-3.12.3-x86_64-built.tar.bz2 cd cgminer-3.12.3-x86_64 sudo cp 01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ ./cgminer [commands] plug in device via usb |

Normal computers can't produce GH sized hashrates by themselves. You have to buy dedicated bitcoin mining hardware to add onto them.

(No, I don't have a problem with him. I wasn't here for the rivalries that seemed to have colored the interaction of him and CKolivas and a few others. Probably wouldn't have been involved any way).
For what it's worth, I've always gotten on quite well with wizkid, and we've occasionally debugged stuff together. |

There are no binaries - windows or linux - provided for any version prior to 3.8.0.

Actually what we need is a subforum for announcements for hardware preorder scams. Save them the trouble and make it easy for them to know where to post their announcements given the large volume of them appearing.

Cgminer does not write anything to your hard drive by default.

As for performance? Well, the control panel seems to say it's running at 1.5Thash, but unlike my BFL hardware where what's reported in CGMiner is more or less what the pool sees I can't get BTCGuild to see any more than 1.3Thash and it seems to fluctuate between 1.2 and 1.3Thash...this is severely disappointing right now and I've been playing around with pool settings to see if I can get any better performance but I'm basically mining 2/3rds of what I was expecting and obviously it's over 2 months late. All things considered for $14400 I could have had two Jupiters mining away at almost the same hashrate for 5 months now...even though they're sending another unit in March to try and make up for the delays the much lower hashrate is actually now the major issue-I'm honestly not sure how any of the later batches will ROI if they don't actually ship the full 2 terahashes. I have no idea how their control panel is showing such optimistic hashrates either. Overall I have to say that this whole experience has made me really hesitant about doing any sort of pre-orders ever again, I ended up paying about $11 per gigahash-yes this price will go down once they actually deliver a March unit but right now I have no idea when that will actually get here or even how much mining power it will have so if it ends up being 2.6Thash being delivered half in February and half in April for $14400...
Edit: After some fiddling around (took cgminer down temporarily, changed the power setting around, restarted everything via SSH, etc.) I'm seeing 1.7Thash locally now instead of 1.5Thash and I've switched to Eligius...the hashrate is still climbing up at the moment so we'll see where it settles-maybe Eligius works better than BTCGuild with Terraminers? I know Cointerra was testing on Eligius so maybe this is the only pool that really deals well with these. We'll see soon enough I guess.
Hey testerx... I'm seeing the same thing with mine.... local cgminer reads 1.5 to 1.6 but only seeing 1.3 on the pool. Did you "fiddling" get things working better? Can you expand a bit on what you "fiddled" with?  Thanks man! To be clear: This is a point of contention at all times with what others seem to want and what I end up putting into the cgminer git master. I try wherever possible to make the on-screen hashrate match what you are actually producing in shares whereas other implementations of drivers like to display what the device thinks it's hashing. In the case of the distributed binary from cointerra, you are seeing the latter. I am planning on making the cgminer master code to do what all the other drivers do, although it appears no one has been brave enough to open up their machine and plug their device in via USB to a regular PC to try it out yet. For the time being, the code in cgminer git master is almost identical to what cointerra are releasing as binaries within their BBB firmware, only newer. |

Hello all. I suppose this is the correct forum to post this in seeing as it's speculation. I've compiled, with most of the help done with a friend of mine, a possible mining/gaming rig.Since I'm relatively new I thought I'd ask the bitcoin community at large if this is an alright rig for a first time miner? Obviously I'm not going to get anywhere fast and this is my first rig. My 22nd birthday is coming up and hopefully I'll obtain some of the funds required towards the purchase and assembly of this rig. But what say you? Is this a passable mining/gaming rig. If you're asking the bitcoin community, you cannot meaningfully mine bitcoin with a regular PC and graphics card any more. Other posters here will probably recommend you mine an alternative coin if you want to mine something with your system. |
