Still looking for some advice on my previous questions:
Simple questions but didn't seem to find an answer searching here nor reading through for a couple of days.
1. Is there a way to safely power down the cube? Just seems rough to turn off the power supply.
2. Is there a way to stop it from requesting more work and let it finish what it has then report it before shutting down?
Setup is basically as described in this guide with cube and proxy.
Understand the reply to #1 about the discharge capacitors so basically turning off the power supply is "okay".
More concerned with #2 though to ensure that all the work is done and reported back to the server before shutting down.
1) Capacitors on both sides, the components don't care. 2) No. These are dumb electronics hence the prices of manufacture. |

I'm slowly reading through this post, and have my cube working but at a very low level - at most 1GH/s or lower on Slush's pool.
I've installed Slush's proxy on my 192.168.1.9 server - network connectivity seems ok. The cube is connected directly into my router/modem on the 192.198.1.1 subnet. The .9 server is on the same subnet - but is hanging off a switch with 3 other servers.
I'm using a Cosaire CX750M as the power supply with separate inputs directly into the cube. I also reseated all the boards, but they seemed fine to begin with. The fuse seems fine. The cube is not even warm to the touch, though all the lights are on and the fan is blowing. I'm still reading through all the posts in that setup thread and have a bunch more sites to read through in my Google search - so any pointers are greatly appreciated.
I'm not looking to overclock - but would like to try and get to around the 30GH/s range or as near as possible. Again any pointers are greatly appreciated.
best,
--Jack
Efficiency and hash rate means nothing <5 mins, show us that afterwards please. |

*Unrelated to the thread*
I was curious if anyone knows a good site to sell a few cubes for BTC? I have two or 3 that I'd like to let go of to make room for some other gear...
Just Amazon them |

Depends on your mains voltage, ~550-600 |

Don't necro really old threads please, there is a more recent Avalon thread.

I've got a component board from a gen 1 Avalon module which had a blown capacitor if you're interested, in the UK. PM me

Changelog 03/10/2014Company changes:- Bitmine demoted to C. Continuing delays and lack of communication both globally and with individual orders. Hire some PR and CS. Also preferring (openly) commercial partners in production. Review March 22.
- AMT demoted to D+. Very delayed, no communication.
- VMC demoted to F. The evidence suggests it is simply a scam. Avoid this company.
- Bitmain promoted to A+. Continued market leading success.
- Blackarrow not changed but promotion not activated. Although they have sorted all refunds, delivery is still a while away.
- Avalon not changed but promotion not activated. Promotion to A if trade in order problems are dealt with.
- Cointerra promoted to B+. Newer firmware is more stable and compensation is ongoing.
- Lightning ASIC promoted to C+ due to good success. Promotion to B if no problems before March 22 [building reputation].
- Drillbit review delayed, awaiting new products.
- Redhash review delayed, awaiting new products.
- Technobit not changed but promotion not activated. Too many units are failing in the wild, but are being dealt with.

Hi,
Each S1 Antminer has 2 X 6 pin PCIE connections. One connection per blade.
The reasonable declaration for E.U Customs means that Bitmain convert the BTC price you paid him to USD ( U.S. Dollars ) and declare that on the Customs form. This means you will have to pay your Countries import charges based on that Dollar value.
For the E.U. they declare full value for what you have paid. They will not declare a lower value for E.U. Customs.
Your English is just fine.
Thanks man. So for psu with 1x6pin I can use molex to 6pin adapter to second connector? Also the wifi port is normal RP-SMA connector? 20% additional price sucks.  NO. You can't use a molex connector, it will cause a fire. Normal wifi Really? So for psu to be compatible it needs to have 2+ 6pin pcie connectors? Yes. |

3 ants will push it but should be doable. I wouldn't overclock though. So basically, I can split an Ant between 2 of these? Each PSU has 4 PCI-E cables, pretty sure the explanation is clear enough with just text, but if a diagram helps let me know. No plans to OC. Would be like this: Ant1 PSU a Ant2 PSU a & b (cable from each) Ant3 PSU b This is absolutely fine as there is no actual crossloading. Each blade in an S1 acts independently when it comes to power so you're essentially powering 3 miners on PSU a and 3 on PSU b. Problems can happen when people power one miner with two PSUs due to crossloading issues. |

You're asking 1800 theoretical watts [although from the wall] from 1500W of PSUs. Even assuming 90% eff and 110% running capacity (which is actually peak), you're right on the limit. That configuration is really close to the limit. |

Partway through writing a response about how that couldn't be the reason, I decided it would be faster to simply set the proxies to static IP addresses to prove that it wouldn't change anything.
Huh. Look at that .
They've run over 7 hours straight with no reboots. Granted that was overnight, and the reboots seemed more frequent in the afternoon evening hours, but this is somewhat encouraging.
Stay tuned; let's see if they go a day without reboots.
What's odd about this is that I have my DHCP server set up for 7 day leases. What I understand of the lease renewal says there's no way the clients (proxy machines) are chatting with the DHCP server as often as I've been seeing the reboots...
More to learn I guess, and a chance to affirm my theory that learning new things keeps an aging brain young(er).
Thanks for the idea.
No problem. Remember some of this hardware (read ASIC network controllers) is on the cheap side so doesn't always behave as we'd expect. Was it your router, was it the cube's being silly? We probably won't ever know. |

I am having a problem and was wondering if anyone could help. I have a blade v2 green board that has been running fine for over a week. I noticed a drop in hash rate in my pool so I check the config page and it wont stay connected to a server. It keeps switching back and forth between my two server IP's. I am using BFGminer proxy and have tried different versions, different machines, wired/wireless, changing the IP and port of the blade and a hardware reset, but to no avail. Anyone have an issue like this before?
Have you tried slush's proxy? |
