Is there a trick to getting the antminer to hold on to a reassigned static ip?
I go into the Network > Interfaces > Wan > and change the settings to an address on 192.168.1.x that is unassigned on my network, but when I hit save and apply it just hangs. I've tried a few different times now, waiting 2 min, 5 min, 10 min, and after plugging the cable back into the router, the miner hasn't been reassigned to the new address. I used the advance ip scanner utility and it still shows the same default address at 192.168.2.xx, which I can now not connect to either. After shorting the pins to do a hard reset, I can re-connect again on 192.168.2.99.
Any ideas?
I dont remember this happening with Avalons. In the mean time you can do the reverse and set your router to keep giving the device the same IP - creating a static IP device out of a DCHP client. Alternatively, as long as the unit and router never turn off, its IP won't change. |

Here is what I did:
Bought silent 12cm fan and mounted it on opposite side of the miner, with soaking hot air out. I powering it with molex from PDU (no need of PWM).
Also covered top of the first half miner where original fan is located.
Temp 37c (both blades)
hashing 184 ghs stock. avg 181ghs
Original fan rpm are low so miner is silent and stable.
Need some case and tweaking, can be a lot better.
Yep I've also recommended they add a shroud of some form - then the tunnel design works well. |

For the past few days I've been using bfgminer as a proxy connecting to ghash.io and I've only been getting 32-33gh/s on high. Today I switched over to slush's pool using his proxy and I'm getting 37gh/s+ no problem. (speeds are based on miner not pool)
Why is this?
While I've not used BFG extensively, I do think the barebones proxy is simply more efficient. First off, thanks to everyone for their suggestions and to Dogie for this great guide!
I decided to take my cube and psu to a different friend's house. It works perfectly there! It is like Dogie said, "mysterious network topology" was my issue. My friend is going to host my cube until I figure this out. Thanks again.
One thing you can check is any phones connected to your wifi. Not sure how they interfere, but a few users of V1 blades found phones [android?] were preventing it working correctly. |

Thanks dogie! Eligius may not be supporting getwork anymore. I should have seen that the Eligius note page http://eligius.st/~gateway/news/important-upcoming-changes-mining-hostnames I got the get address from was from back in May 2013 and the main page on Eligius no longer shows getwork host name or address. Looking at Eligius stats for the two machines, in the early morning hours packet traffic got light enough to allow both cubes to average 30 GH for 10 or 15 minutes even with our remote stratum sever on the cloud.... then crashing back done later in the morning. Time for a local stratum server.... much thanks again No problem. Your mining revenue should easily pay for a $300 laptop within a few days - especially considering your $300 is still worth $250 in a few months. |

Wow so you took them out of the frame and mounted them with fans directly blowing on the heat sinks? Very interesting... might be my weekend project. I really want to push the hash rates with those new figures but I do worry about the capacitors.
I only have a single so I can keep it in the frame with no problems. Where are you getting the custom firmware from, I will check it out. Its worth noting that I've left the default fan plugged in so the AntMiner doesn't get confused there is no fan and so I have direct control of the fans for testing. Lazy pic from across the room:  |

Anyone have any thoughts on better cooling overall to try and keep up with the increased hashing? Also I have access to a very good electronics guy, anything I should look at replacing since there is discussion that some of the regulators aren't really up for the increase?
I've been testing direct fans on the heatsinks and the results are insanely better. I'm getting 15C better temps with silent fans. This approach doesn't work with dual fans without taking one PCB off the frame and mounting it somewhere else, but it you overclock this may be the way. Typically the tunnel approach is used for high density [as the AntMiner is designed for] but at the deficit of cooling performance - especially without full shrouding. |

I've had luck with running two cubes on one Corsair TX850 and three Cubes on two CX750's. Of course a single Cube will run on either of these PSUs.
This should be more than enough to run one, yes? Just trying to make sure I have everything ready to go so I can start mining as soon as the Cube arrives... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152026On paper yes, but in reality it probably won't last long. Cheap branded PSUs are just that unfortunately, cheap and ready to break. They have to save money building them somehow, right? |

Unfortunately the C10 cap popped on one of my cube boards today:  I was powering it up after rearranging some cables and saw the flash of light and heard an audible pop. It sounds like the resellers don't yet have a warranty swap supply from Friedcat, so fingers crossed here that gets figured out ASAP. The good news is, as dogie said, the cube hashes just fine with missing cards (with 1/6 less hashing goodness, of course). BTW, I noticed while I was inside the cube that some of the boards were not seated in the casing slots (probably popped out during shipping). I also was missing a heat sink screw and some of the other heat sink screws were pretty loose. Be careful tightening them though -- heat sinks are pretty easy to strip. -dmc This has been seen a few times regarding the heatsink screws, had one or two dead boards (although this is the first with obvious physical damage). I would suspect most boards aren't fitting in the slots well as most of mine were out - not that it seems to do much because they're jammed in good. |

Have two cubes up and running but Hash rate varies all over them map and dies down to zero often. I am using the statum proxy server approach. I did not have a free local machine to set up the proxy server on so we quickly set one up on an Amazon cloud machine. I have never seen either cube get higher than 22 GH and now they are mostly spending time down near zero.  I an thinking that it may be some proxy issue or tuning that I don't understand. Maybe I need to run a localized server to make this work and I should just pick up a Rasberry Pi and set up one? I know he cubes can work, it is just seems to be some network or server issue. I am leaning to the server side but I don't have enough experience. Thoughts or insight? - - - - - - I also tried to connect to some of the pools directly using the Getwork pool address but get no action. Is that worth more investigation or stick with the stratum server? On Getwork: Doesn't seem to connect to Eligius getwork pool directly. Pool ports set to: 8337,8337 Pool address: getwork.mining.eligius.st,getwork.mining.eligius.st Miners users/pass: addresss:pass,address:pass It looks like no jobs are being received from eligius. Am I doing something wrong? You need a local machine. Any sort of delay on those packets will make them useless and discarded as either stales or add in idle times. You must must must must must set up a local machine, or run getwork. Isn't eligius's server at mining.eligius.st? |

What are peoples' experiences with cooling and temperatures so far?
2 antminers with single fan and temps never reached 50. Mine is roughly the same with 1 miner and fan, but its having to run near max RPM all the time. I'm sure I can get a better configuration, just need to do some testing. |

Thanks a lot for the guide! I just opted to plug it in to my comp via LAN because I didn't want to risk all my other miners not connecting, but this definitely helped in addition to sushi's setup.
Is there a reason that the configuration page doesn't load when the Antminer is connected via WiFi?
I also have one miner that didn't have a damn IP address sticker. Is there a way to scan the gateway so I don't have to enter a different IP 100+ times?
Routers typically assign a different IP for wifi and ethernet, even for the same device so check again what your wifi based IP is. |

VAT pay by knc everyone because they as company need give the "VAT" to government (the government check that annually) , the question is if he can get back the vat amount
Not true. Knc only charge VAT to orders being delivered to EU countries. If it is being shipped to a non EU country then there is no VAT added to the invoice. All KNC prices are without VAT. It is added at the end for EU country delivery destinations unless you have a VAT number. In Russia customs fee is 25%. Also KNCMiner declares full price in customs invoice. That means I will have to pay 25% * 13000 = 3250. That's not EU VAT, that - as you say - a customs fee from Russia. |

The new psu arrived about 30 minutes ago. It is a Corsair GS800. I connected it and the cube still reboots itself at 2 minutes. I'm about to pull out what little hair I have left.  Could it be a faulty cube? All the chips come up "O" in the config screen so they should be good. I am at the point that I am willing to pay somebody to help get this going. I don't want to go through the hassle of shipping this back to the re-seller for a replacement. Cubes reset after ~2.5 mins after they detect no activity, because they assume the pool is done. It then goes to the backup pool and tries the same. If you PM me teamviewer details I can take a look. |

Random Asicminer question here.
At what point does a proxy program get overloaded.
I currently have 20 blades and 2 Cubes (soon to be 3) running off the same computer. It seems to handle it well but the lines of text fly by at warp speed.
Wondering if I need to point some of the hardware to another computer and take the pressure off.
The short answer is we really don't know - getwork hardware has never been so powerful. People have been running 100 or so blades off one proxy, which is up to 600GH. The limitaiton order will probably be local networking [packet spam] -> internet latency -> anything else. Worst case you can run two proxies on the same computer, or get a shitty laptop to run a second proxy after splitting your networking into two groups. How loud are these? I just ordered one, but kinda forgot that I am going to have to keep it inside since I don't have an easy way to run an ethernet cable outside... although Canary did point me in the direction of something that might work around that, I don't know if it's something I want to try just yet.
Like a computer. |

Can I run these miners without a proxy server?
What if i changed the pool to my mining pool (ghash.io) instead of my proxy (My pc)
Will this work?
I thought this cube could mine by it self as long as it has an Internet connection, no need to have another computer on 24/7 acting as a proxy server.
It needs a proxy due to the lack of getwork protocol pools. I think eigus still does one? |

Well I wish you luck Edge...hopefully we can get these going. I'm pretty poor these days so if I lost a cube that'd really suck. Especially after being losing money in the WeExchange scam. Anyways though, optimistic can get this going.
BTW for your screen shot you show the ports as 8338. Should these not be 8333 ? You prob know what you are doing here and I don't think their would be any response at all if the ports were wrong but thought I'd mention it.
I changed it on both the cube and the proxy. I had already tried the default a few times. My ports are 8332, that is the port the proxy is listening for miner activity on - was that your problem? I have one cube hashing 32ghs on low and one cube which worked at first now showing all x's and blinking an error code on the red led. Both are powered from a Corsair TX850M.
Any ideas on reviving the dead one?
Any suggestions on this one, or does it need to go back to canary? Try the dead one individually, if not open it up and check if there is anything obvious, anything loose. Try running it outside the case. |

I think I may change up my cooling recommendations entirely for single blade - not getting great cooling performance at all
