This does not seem to work in the server address section:

http://mining.eligius.st:8337 -u <MYaddress> -p x

Any ideas?

I have these 3 fields:

______________________________________________________

Ports  
Server addresses  
user:pass  

I've tried lots of stuff like these

Ports: 8337,8337
Server addresses: http://mining.eligius.st:8337
user:pass: <address>:<password>

Ports: 8337,8337
Server addresses: http://mining.eligius.st:8337
user:pass: -u <address> -p x:<password>

______________________________________________________

But it just keeps resetting the Server field to 192.168.1.2,USPA=<address>


I already have some Erupter USBs going on BFG miner but I cant seem to get it to use the Blades as well?

Try this.

Ports: 8337,8337
Server addresses: mining.eligius.st,mining.eligius.st
user:pass: username:password,username:password

you have to double everything with a , inbetween.

After some more testing I'm fairly certain the blade I have and possibly all v2 blades have a weak nic.

If I put it on a cat5 cable over 50feet long the blade will receive work but not send anything back, even to a proxy on the network. My conclusion is the sending signal isnt strong enough and it is degrading before it gets back to the router causing packet loss.

If I am not mistaken, next group buys for these will start under 0.1 each in the next few hours.
 

what source do you have for a .09 a stick price?

SilentSonicBoom said the price is coming down today but he hasn't been told what the new price will be(as of 10 hours ago at-least)

I'm hoping asic blades drop to under 3BTC so I can pick up another one. Cheesy
I'm not worried about the usb asics as once you include the usb hub the $/mh/s is way higher than the blades.

Great card, that's what I use but my intensity is 20! Hehe  Cheesy
this particular model gets upset at -I14 and above. Perhaps older version are ok with 20. I have all kinds of cards and -I varies per model dramatically from 13 to 20.

Let me know how the settings work out for you.

You have 7970s that get better results above -I 13? All of mine hit 740 easily enough, but with different clock speeds depending on models and all at -I 13 -g 2. (I have over 25 7970s)

I'm loving 7970s, I purely ran 7950s till I got 2x 7970s for cheap and they run sooooo much cooler than the 7950s. My 7950s run 72-80c on average but the 7970s run 62-65c on average. HUGE difference. Now all I buy is 7970s.

I'll just keep buying used 7970s for $200 and under. Smiley

Way faster ROI  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
yeah, where is that?

Not eBay or Craigslist. I buy them with bitcoin. Thats all the hints I will give, I don't want you buying up all the cards, they don't come up for sale every day, I have to watch and catch them when they are first listed. Smiley

Sometimes they need fan repairs, which is a simple $10-15 fix.

How is the difficulty already 112?

Yeah, the difficulty's almost tripled since I started mining maybe 30 minutes ago.
BY NYARLATHOTEP, WE NEED A POOL TO RAISE THE DARK LORD!

Is it possible to GPU mine this? I'm mining on 2x 8 core amds and im down to not finding shit. Is it that popular or is there a more efficient miner?  Or are there a ton of vps's on this already. lol

To the people saying that the difficulty isn't going to level off.

What do you think the manufacturing cost on the asic hardware is? Once it hits just above manufacturer cost they wont be able to drop the price any more and sales will drop off and that means less hash rate being added every day.

At what point are the big miners coming out a drop in the bucket? Eventually the hash rate that comes online every day will be so insignificant compared to the whole that difficulty will slow.

If you go back and look at the difficulty chart, when GPUs started mining Bitcoin it rose just like when ASIC's came out only over a longer period, eventually it leveled out and it will again.

Taking into account a price drop of half on usb and blade ASICs within the next month, my best guesstimate would be difficulty leveling off around November to mid December.

We may also see a price increase on Bitcoin as people that buy ASIC's hold Bitcoin instead of selling to make back ROI.

Very creative I like it. So is it scrypt or what?


Anymore nodes? I'm not getting a connection.

673  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 7950 GPU usage jumping up and down on scrypt on: September 14, 2013, 04:19:40 PM
Try this instead.

--thread-concurrency 8192 -I 19 -g 1 -w 256 --verbose

in my experience -g 2 -I 13 is only for 7970s

Download Gpu-z and check your vrm temp, if it gets over 95c it will cause ur gpu to throttle, I dont see that being the problem as your card is around 60c.

You may be pulling more power than your psu can put out. What wattage is your PSU?

I think you are talking about powertune. I keep mine from 10-15 depending on the card.
674  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: September 14, 2013, 04:12:34 PM
New Corsair power supply shuts down when plug in second new blade.  Each blade will run individually.  Used different 12v outputs and separate outputs.

I know two pci e used simultaneously can shut psu down, so am using two 12v outputs or one split.  Corsair psu still shuts down on with second blade plugin.  So looks like more than 8 amps and psu shuts down (Corsair 750 watt new).

Am I doing something dumb?  Thinking this new Corsair psu is bad...?

Any suggestions?

thx

Double and tipple check your wiring. I had the same issue with a computer b4, I had shorted out a wire and it kept causing the psu to shut down. Also check your paperclip, sometimes they don't make full contact and can cause power loss.
675  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: September 14, 2013, 03:50:21 PM
I fixed it. Cheesy Its working with stratum proxy now.

The problem was I had it on a 200foot cat5 cable. There must have been packet loss or something. I put it on a 3 foot cat5 cable and ran the proxy on one of my mining rigs that was about 5 feet away on the same router, boom 10gh/s.

I have a feeling these blades don't have a strong enough nic to send a signal over a few hundred feet. Either that or my 200foot cat5 cable has problems, It seems to work fine on my gaming pc tho.

Thank you guys for all the help.

Maybe its an issue with the v2 blades?

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues with the new blades?

My new blades have been working at close to 100% efficiency non-stop since I got them a couple of weeks ago.  I am using the get-work proxy built-in to BFGMiner, though.  I have not tried that stratum proxy you guys are using because BFGMiner allows me to use the blades on any pool I want, and works great.  Give it a try.  Only works on Linux, though...

I'm game to try it. I tried installing BFGminer on my vmware ubuntu and it wouldn't start with the proxy argument. Care to post a guide on how to install BFGminer with the correct parts to work the way you describe? I'm pulling my hair out here. lol

678  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: September 14, 2013, 01:31:55 PM
Yes, setup a local stratum proxy - on a spare unused pc or raspberry pi for example. It is easier than it sounds to do.

You will get much much better efficiency than trying to mine via a remote pushpool server.
Try using stratum via proxy, it is extremely unlikely that your blade is faulty, much more likely that getwork isn't coming in fast enough.

I've tried. On 5 different computers, both wired and wireless. When the blade starts it fetches work from the proxy, I can see the proxy gives it work. It never sends anything back, no accepts. Then after 2 mins or so it restarts and the whole process starts over again.

It will sometimes connect through the proxy, very rarely, but when it does it reads as only doing 600mh/s and the pool reads the same. Its slower through a proxy, when the proxy does randomly work that is.

I'm really hoping its just lack of power. I have it hooked up with 4x black wires and 2x yellow but they are hooked up with jumper wires and alligator clips instead of the plug. SSB shipped me one out express yesterday and it looks like he paid for Sunday delivery, which I didn't even know was possible with usps. lol   so I guess I will find out if that's my problem tomorrow.
679  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: September 14, 2013, 12:53:14 AM
http://mmpool.bitparking.com/ is up and running. Got some blocks today!  Grin Try it to see if it's a pool outage.



All or most chips are "O" but the efficiency is very low: This happened on two or three blades on our former products. Most probably it's some shortcuts on some of the chips' communication pins. It shouldn't occur in the second (current) batch, but if this happens we will do a free replacement.

I hope this isn't why my efficiency is low. Having to send in this blade for replacement will surely kill any possible profit that could be made on it.
680  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Does anyone have BFGminer compiled for windows with libmicrohttpd included? on: September 13, 2013, 11:03:55 PM
I've been wrestling with my new asic blade all day. I talked to a friend who is using BFGminer on linux for his blades.

But right on the BFGminer.org site it says
"New embedded getwork server to drive Block Erupter Blades and similar devices off BFGMiner. Instructions in README.ASIC. Currently not included in OpenWrt or Windows binaries. "

Can anyone please help. I need a copy compiled with libmicrohttpd included.
