Hi everyone Ever since I've received my Terraminer IV in the mail, I've only seen 1 core (CTA0) recognized in the web interface. The unit only mines at 700-800 Gh/s which confirms the fact that only one core is working. I believe it's the core controlled by the lower plug on the unit because if I don't connect the top plug it makes no difference in the operation of the miner. I've posted all the data from the stats page at http://bl.ocks.org/yskywalker/raw/e979fd6032da76835303/ (It was too large to put on this post) I'm also posting my cgminer.log at https://gist.github.com/yskywalker/db685aa5413f39d394d0 (That log came from relaunching cgminer with the --debug option.) Once, I plugged in the lower plug first, waited 5 minutes, then plugged in the upper plug. Both miners started working but CTA1 wouldn't go over 500Gh/s. Another time CTA1 showed up but didn't do any mining. When that happened, the temperature was reading a huge negative value. I also noticed that the logfile mentioned disabling a core because no temp sensor was detected. That doesn't show up in my logfile anymore because the other core isn't detected at all. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I have no problem running cgminer with specific commands or doing anything else through ssh. |

Maybe the newest versions of MinePeon are somehow incompatible with bfgminer. I will check into this when I get home, it would be a bit of a bummer if it is true. The only reason I have been able to support both bfgminer and cgminer is because the API is the same and if they start to differ there is going to be problems. Neil Thanks, let me know what you find. |

Let me know what you find out. |

Replacement AD adapters / adapter modifications
I would suggest that you change that to read, "Replacement AC adapters". I'm sure it was just a typo. |

When I try this, the minepeon web interface just says that cgminer is down.
Did you reboot? I often find I have to reboot between miner switchs. Neil I did reboot. This is in the new 0.2.3 minepeon version. Would that make any difference? By the way, I admire the work that you're doing here. It's a great service to the Bitcoin mining community. The "cgminer is down" message is shown when no pools are loaded. I haven't used and tested bfgminer so I'm curious where it breaks. Maybe bfgminer handles the api a little differently? Do your devices and pools show up? My devices and pools don't show up on the summary page. My pools do show up on the settings page. If I click to restart the miner, I am given the error, "Could not restart cgminer because: 111 Connection refused". Maybe the newest versions of MinePeon are somehow incompatible with bfgminer. |

Hi Guys,
I am in the process of uploading a new 'test' image that I am going to call MinePeon-0.2.3a .
It is identical to 0.2.3 EXCEPT it includes the libraries, files and startup for both PiMiner and cgminerLCDStats. If you have either of those LCD shields (or both) they should startup at boot.
Neil
+10000 Thanks, I've been having issues and gone back to a previous sd card as i have not had time to test and resolve it (no donation on that card,but you got 7.5g for a couple of hours while i screwed about with it,). So I will give this a go. On another note I cut the red wire on my hub cable to sort out my power issues, but had to solder it back as all my miners stopped working. i tested it and it is the 5V + , did I miss something ? the hubs are powered it should not need it ? right ?  I'm not sure what is causing your miners to not work. I have cut the red wire in many USB cables without an issue. Are you sure that the power supply is working? If you mention the model of USB hub that you have, there may be someone else out there who has had similar problems. |

I think someone asked this before, but I don't think anyone answered. Is there a way to rediret 192.168.1.x to https://192.168.1.x? I am used to just putting in the IP without the https so it would just be easier. I never type the URL with the https:// part. I always just type the ip. This has worked for me on MinePeon version 0.2.3 and version 0.2.2. |

I'm trying to switch minepeon to bfgminer to see if that will make minepeon work with the usb hubs that I have. On my PC, bfgminer works with my hubs but cgminer doesn't. I would rather use cgminer, but I guess I have to use whatever works. The only thing that I can find in regards to switching to BFGminer is the following set of terminal commands on the release history page: sudo systemctl stop cgminer.service # Stops cgminer
sudo systemctl disable cgminer.service # Stops cgminer from starting at boot
sudo systemctl enable bfgminer.service # Makes bfgminer start at boot
sudo systemctl start bfgminer.service # Starts bfgminer
When I try this, the minepeon web interface just says that cgminer is down. I have tried searching a bit, but I can't find anything else. There proabably is something somewhere in the minepeon thread, but I don't want to read through all 58 pages. There proabably is some easy fix. Thanks in advance. |

How do we get this thread pinned? too many people starting new threads about HUBs.  +1 |

I'm running hundreds of them, for weeks now, with cheapest hubs I could find on amazon, at sauna level ambient temps that make bfl devices cower in perpetual throttle down. Per port cost ~$3 per port, including the power source. 5 minutes or less of soldering per hub.
Soo, what soldering do you have to do? |

By the way, does anyone know if a 200khz 150mv ripple would be detrimental to a Block Eruptor. I'm looking at a power supply currently that has that.

I have 3 Juiced Systems 10 port USB 3.0 hubs each running 9 block eruptors plus a USB fan. I haven't bothered testing them with 10 miners because I am using the 10th port for a fan. They have been mining for about 2 days now with no problem. I actually like their greater density compared to the Anker 10 port. It makes one USB fan cool them much better. Since I don't know how to include an image in my post, I posted an image here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wvyefiwnkxcu8br/DSCN0174_LQ.jpgAs much as I hate to repeat myself I posted a review of the Juiced 10-port hub in another thread( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263577.msg2824064#msg2824064) so I'll paste it here: ------- I bought the Juiced 10-port from Amazon and suggest getting something else. It'll run 8 erupters but when you plug in a 9th it starts to lose contact with one, then another, then another and the only way to fix that is either restart cgminer or unplug/replug the miner. The Anker's extra amp makes a big difference. Adding insult to injury my Raspberry Pi can't see this hub at all, so I think I'm going to order the Anker from Amazon and return this one. Are you sure that it isn't a problem with your USB driver or something like that? What OS are you using? I am running bfgminer on Linux Mint 15 with no problems with 9 Block Eruptors on each hub. |

Is there somewhere with more info on these sticks just as how to assess if they are heat damaged

JUICED 13 PORT HUB only has 5v 3a adapter NOT 9a. havent tested it out yet but should only support 6. got 2 from amazon, they're going back monday
In that case I might be sending back my hubs from Juiced Systems as well. EDIT: Sorry, I didn't read carefully enough. I thought you were talking about the Juiced Systems 10 port. |

Have you heard anything back from Juiced Systems yet?
Has anyone actually tested with the 13 port Juiced hub yet ? Any confirmed reports rather than theoretical speculation ? Apparently not. I update the OP with footnotes, linking to reviews people post here. Ok. Ordered one. Should know Wednesday night. I have ordered one as well. I'll post a review as well when I get them. |

I noticed that one too.. got a mix of USB 2.0 and 3.0... wouldn't work with the Pi right? according to the specs on their site: \\ 4 Upstream and down stream USB 3.0 ports. 9 Upstream and down stream USB 3.0 ports. 480mpbs and 5gbps transfer rates with on/off LED indicator with power switch for each port. Supports hot swap plug and play devices. **Does not need power supply to operate but recommended for high power consumption devices** Hub weight: 140g Cable Length 100cm Power Supply 3.5mm DC 5v jack. // Can't find the Amps.. yea i couldnt either Speedy response back from the company contact on their website... states the following: "I believe, the units are as follows : 5 Volts , 45 Watts 9 Amps - 900mA each USB port." I emailed them and got the same response. But is it just me or does the math not work out? This is my assumption util I hear back further from them. There are 13 ports. USB 3.0 has 3 power configurations, low power, high power, and charging only. Assuming the 4 USB 3.0 ones are high power, that/s 900 mA each or 18 Watts. That leaves 27 Watts of power remaining split among the 9 remaining USB 2.0 ports. At 5 volts a piece, that's 600 mA per port (which is a bit higher than the standard of 500mA so I don't know why they would do that). Have you heard anything back from Juiced Systems yet? Would posting this be considered double-posting? Should I have instead edited my previous post to add this question? |

Does anyone know why the USB 3.0 hubs don't work on a Raspberry Pi? This seems to be an issue that is block eruptor specific because other people on the internet seem to be able to use USB 3.0 hubs on their PIs. EDIT:Would the Juiced Systems 13 port hub work on the raspberry pi?
Another question: would it be possible to just buy the cheapest well-built hub available and replace it's PSU with one that can output enough power? USB cables have the power totally seperate from the data so the only things in the hub that should have extra power flowing through them are the wires connecting the input power directly to the USB ports. Am I right? Please tell me if I'm wrong because I plan to buy some cheap hubs from eBay to try this out.

Hi Friedcat,
I am in the process of ordering packaging and I just realised that I have no idea of the dimensions of the devices (in whatever packaging you supply).
Can you grab a ruler and tell me? (In mm)
80mm x 40mm x 18mm per package. Are those dimentions for the bare block eruptor, or some case that it ships in. Also, do those dimentions include the colored heatsink with the bitcoin logo, are they just for the bare eruptor, or are those the dimensions when using some other heatsink? If they aren't the dimensions for the miner with the colored heatsink, could you give me the dimensions for that setup. Thanks |

I'd like it too. It would also be nice to just know what packages you installed so I can replicate it on Linux Mint 15.
Thanks
