Just wondering why your tagline has 400gh monarch? the www page at bfl still shows 600gh am I missing something
(Yeah ...I jumped at the upgrade....had to or i'd have more doorstops at this time .....and that 60gh still an't moving much I upgraded)
no fool like an old fool
Searing
er this was for trigger...see his tagline above
A BFL shill has/had a tagline that says The Monarch 600 GH/s - 350W - Pre-Order Yours Today! `````` Only $4,680 - Guaranteed delivery by December 2013 I simply altered it to show what's it's likely to be given BFL's past performance. Note the power and delivery dates have slipped so it's on course to be accurate. |

Please don't give up like that. You lose hope, then we all lose hope. What happens when you do a hard reset, and what hash rates did you get before and are getting now?
I'm not giving up and I'm still happy. It was delivered on time and is still quicker than what I paid for, just to trying to figure out what's happening. Don't have the exact numbers 0.90 @ 500GH didn't notice hardware errors on this one, wasn't running long before 0.91 came out 0.91 - 0.93 were all similar, I noticed an increase in hashrate to around 530, hw errors were around 10% 0.94 saw a dramatic drop in hashrate to 500, after 12+ hours it had settled back to 525 but the errors went up to 14% and reported speeds at the pool were significantly lower. I've then tried going back to 0.91 and 0.93 but the error rate remains high. |

The point is that with lower temperatures, you get a much higher hashrate and less errors, i think. I think the temperature thing is the main thing that affects the hashrate.
My machine is just getting slower as each day passes, hw errors are getting worse, started off around 10% now up to 14%. It's not a temperature issue  It's not a firmware issue in so much as flashing to previous versions where i'd got higher hashrates/lower hw errors aren't helping. My best guess is that more cores are failing as time goes on. |

 i need more fans before it blow up You sure got a hot one, mine is in a small room, air con off (as it never gets above 25c in the room to turn it on). |

my connection home is adsl 8 mb is enough? or i need put fiber 30mb?
best pool advise?
anyone can helpme 8mb is plenty, the amount of data sent back and forwards to the pool is small. Which pool is subjective. Personally I like the low variance of guild for which I'm happy to pay a fee. Eligius is an excellent 0 fee pool. |

And the FPGA Error once again.
That's not an error as such it's just the machine clearing out old work when a new block is found, if it didn't do that the speed would stay the same but you'd then have a load of stale shares until it got back on to fresh work. Although it drops the speed I don't think it will affect actual shares submitted. Great work with your experiments, watching closely  |

Can some kind soul post a guide on how to set up backup pools through putty
Bring up cgminer as shown earlier Press (p) for pool management (a) to add pool enter server eg: stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 user: username pass: password return back to main screen by pressing any button (s) for settings (w) to write config file. This is from memory, think it's right. |

Added an FAQ to the first post for questions I see coming up quite often.
Anything you'd like to add let me know.

To the folks that are having issues with the .93 and .92 releases.. how stable is your internet connection? I have found that any hickups in internet connectivity causes a CGminer reboot.
Also if a pool goes down and you haven't manually set a backup through cgminer the same thing happens (it uses voltage drop as a trigger to do a restart) Mine has been up for 51 hours now using .93 on guild's private server. How can I monitor my miner more directly? The Status menu in the webinterface only tells me if it's running or not. All I have to go on for now is my pool stats.
Enable SSH from the web interface then use a program like PuTTY to connect, login root/admin then type screen -r |

From talk on the IRC channel there is a wide variety of speeds reported, which I guess it related to how many cores are being disabled.
Some people say 0.90 was the fastest but for me it was the slowest
Personally mine is averaging 530 in CGMiner, usually showing about 20 less at pool, so I'd say yours is on the low side, but they do seem to take a while to stabilise and get up to speed.
There are no temp readings, whether there are sensors on the boards and not enabled yet in the firmware I don't know.

Yours was the post that prompted me, my room temp is only 23 and with my aircon set to 25 it's never coming on. Initially I thought this was good but the amount of air coming out of the back is quite low so slightly concerned that all the heat is staying in the box.
Look forward to hearing how new fans affect yours.

Thought it might be handy to have a seperate thread where owners can share information, tips, modifications, improvements, addons etc away from the clutter of the 'where's my order' posts in the main thread. If I see common questions cropping up will add them here as an FAQ reference. Latest Firmware : 0.96FAQQ: How do I login to view cgminer working. A: First ensure you have enabled SSH from the web interface. Next use a program (eg PuTTy http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html). Connect to your miners IP, login:root password:admin then from the command prompt type 'screen -r'. When you are finished press Ctrl + A, D to detach. Q: My miner settings page is blank and won't load A: If you make any changes to the pools through cgminer for example adding a second backup pool, then it throws this page off as it's expecting to read only 1 pool. As long as you are mining this can be ignored, hopefully in the future the web interface will allow multiple pools. Q: What are these errors "KnC: accepted by FPGA 21 works, but only 0 submitted" A: These are not usually errors (*). They occur when a new block is found. Rather than submitting stale work which will be rejected the machine is getting rid of existing work and loading up new work, this is why there is a pause and hashrate drop as it slowly gets back up to speed. * If you see these messages one after the other when no new block has been found then that does indicate a problem Q: I've updated my firmware but it's still showing the old version number A: The page has been cached, try F5 or Ctrl+F5 that usually fixes it. Q: What's the deal with the Corsair HX850, is it safe to use or not A: It's still early days with the investigation that KNC are conducting. Some miners where caps have blown have used this particular model. The problem is thought to occur when the a safety mechanism in the PSU shuts it down, when it is powered back on it is delivering too much current. It doesn't appear to be a problem during normal on/off usage only after the PSU has shut itself down. If you already have this PSU and decide not to change, I would suggest that if you find your machine has shut itself down follow these steps. 1. Disconnect Power. 2. Remove all PCI-E cables. 3. Reconnect power and start with just beaglebone. 4. Run for a couple of minutes. 5. Shutdown 6. Disconnect power 7. Reconnect PCI-E cables 8. Reconnect Power & Restart. ModificationsFixing the time.Machines appear to ship with the time set to UTC, although it's not important it did annoy me not having the correct time, these instructions came from Nanners on the IRC channel and worked for me, replace 'tigggger' with whatever you want. Note these changes will probably be lost when you reboot, so might require you to repeat step 5 onwards. 1. cd /config 2. mkdir tigggger 3. cd /config/tigggger 4. wget http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/all/tzdata_2012d-r3.0_all.ipk5. opkg install /config/tigggger/tzdata_2012d-r3.0_all.ipk 6. rm /etc/localtime (NOTE this gave an error for me as the directory wasn't there, but not important just carry on) 7. ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/YOURTIMEZONE /etc/localtime (In my case it was ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime) 8. cd / 9. /etc/init.d/ntpd reload 10. ntpdate -b -u pool.ntp.org Now if you look at cgminer the time should be correct. has created a great little addon to show more information about your miner, like which cores are enabled/disabled, vrm voltages etc. As this firmware is software based KNC have confirmed that it does not invalidate your warranty.

As has been stated, for 1-500 orders the payment date is irrelevant as long as they were paid by 6/10/13. The queue position of those orders is determined by the pre-order (not paid) date.
We will open up the order books soon and give everyone a chance to pay for their preorder (7 days), We will then ship them based on the preorder registration number, not when the order was paid for
as long as the order is paid for within the 7 days we will honor the queue placement. if you pay on day 8 you will simply enter the queue from the back
I hope this helps if you do sell your order number all I will need is an email from both parties and I will do the rest, they will get your queue placement. it can’t however be for more than your registered amount of boxes and we will not split preorders into multiplies
Sam@kncminer.comThat was my understanding but it appears they aren't doing that, see my example here ... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg3284938#msg3284938Hopefully tomorrow |

Thanks, one of BFL's regular shills was advertising in his sig, I just amended it to show the reality. Power & Dates have already moved, well on the way to being accurate. Congrats to KNC for being the complete opposite, faster, lower power, on time. |

1-500 customer old #54X new since opened orderbooks #22X paid 3th june. UPS tarcking number: YES :-) MINING: NO  This brings up the confusion of the original queue again Me 1-500 custimer Old #36x New #51x Paid 3rd June. No tracking or mining. Not panicking or complaining I'm sure mine will be on the way soon, but the original promise was to ship according to the original 1-500 order number so mine 'should' have gone before that order. |

this looks sweet!!
is there any limit to how much onfo can be input into the more options field?
what is the current 'best' options for B2 rigs - i have mine set as;
--avalon-fan 95 --avalon-options 115200:24:10:36:350
20130821 f/w.
I currently have 6 pools set so appears to be plenty of room in the 'more options' field. For batch 2 --avalon-auto is all you need using the latest firmware, I have the fan set in mine (and temps as it's a batch#3) but ckolivas recommends leaving it out and letting his firmware sort it. |

Someone mentioned this earlier during the main attack but is probably got swamped, is it not possible to whitelist active miners and block everything else during an attack ?
Whitelisting does not work. iptables does not work. Once an attacker is already flooding your pipes, blocking them does not magically remove their traffic that is already hitting your switch. Upstream filtering IS in place at BTC Guild, but this is hitting through Stratum ports. There simply isn't any way to completely block the traffic, outside of having enough bandwidth to absorb it. Then the problem becomes identifying good vs bad traffic. BTC Guild regularly has 25,000-30,000 active stratum connections. It's *extremely* hard to separate the good from the bad. OK, thanks for the explanation, not familiar with how it all works. Appreciate all you do to provide such a good service. |

Can someone tell me how to add more than the standard 3 pools as in this picture, my first two are btcguild which is currently having problems and the 3rd is 50btc which frequently suffers from problems so would like some more for safety. I tried adding an extra -o host:port -u x -p x in the more options field but cgminer api said connection refused. If it means manually editing the conf file, I can SSH into the box but have no knowledge to get me beyond that point. EDITTo update my own post in case anyone else wants to do this I just got it working -o host:port -O user:pass Lots of pools set now |
