0.01 BTC if someone will resolve my problem before 23.00 UTC of 02/01/2014

It's the power supply. I had the exact same problem with 3 cubes, many others here in this thread same, problem, usually with a Seasonic and also with some of the Corsair's with an "X' in the model name. Usually a rebadged Seasonic.  It would run for 1.75 seconds then die once turned on or once the fuze was inserted.

Don't waste your time openeing up(well you can check that everything is tight and the cards are in their slot) , it is not the reason for the problem you are having now. If you go back in the thread you can see there is a solution by putting some Capacitors in line with the power at the back of the cube, but it is a pain in the ass and can be fiddly.  

The two power supply's i have tested and are good to power 2 cubes at a time are the Corsair GS 800  and the thermaltake 840. Both worked fine for me. My Seasonic 1050w was a royal pain in the ass.

Changed the psu and now everything is working well! Thank you!!!

Drop me an address

Isn't it me the 1st one to give you the answer for your problem ? Smiley  Grin No forced donation....hahahahaha.... But good to know your problem was solved.

Actually I have the same problem with some of my cube.

For me I'll just needed to make a few quick like 3-5 attempts of jump starting the cube with the paper clip(plug in and out a few time with 1seconds each) trick on my Seasonic X850W. Used to do with the capacitor but not anymore now since I have been successfully with my own trick Smiley

But not sure does it work for other PSU.

0.01 BTC if someone will resolve my problem before 23.00 UTC of 02/01/2014

I have a big problem: i'm trying to fire up a cube, i have a coolermaster v700 (58A on the 12v rail), with the fuse the miner start and after a few second it shutdown, without the fuse the miner starts but the leds are all off and also if i try to navigate on 192.168.1.254:8000 the browser doesn't load anything...

If the cube shutdown within 1-2sec after powering up, your PSU probable got overloaded by the surge in the current draw. Try with a different PSU if you have.

Please help me set up my a sic cubes for my mac. I tried to connect them directly to my mac but bit minter won't read them.

What type of cubes ? If you are talking about ASICminer 38gh/s Cube, than you needed a stratum proxy or using bfgminer acting as a stratum proxy. 

Bitminter won't recognise those ASIC Cube. You might want to follow the link for OSX to install bfgminer.
http://blog.nwoolls.com/2013/04/24/bitcoin-mining-on-mac-os-x-cgminer-bfgminer/

Than to run bfgminer as a stratum proxy:

just issues at the Terminal "bfgminer --http-port 8332" to start bfgminer stratum proxy.

Great advice. I think the OP should tip you for that lol

I don't mind if the OP wanted to make some donations to 1Kr9B1vhhEfpYoxyRftLtCGKJ2xJsbFV9s for my contribution   Grin

As I still new here so I prefer to sell via eBay if anyone is interested.

You think this might be a issue where I need to take time to take it apart and reseat and tighten everything down ? Or just bad chips? running off a Corsair TX850M



bitterdog, take the blade out and try reshuffling them; if it doesn't help you probably had some bad chips  Shocked.....your PSU is sufficient to drive the box so shouldn't be due to PSU.

looks intriguing! Did you compile it yourself? Cold you share the switches you used on the ./configure command?

babaji.ca, yes I compiled myself for all the RasPi that I have and all of them worked Smiley

I didn't used any special switches; just "./configure" that's all.

Did you have all the required dependencies installed mentioned in the README ?

Btw, I used the source for compiling myself. http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/latest/bfgminer-3.8.1.zip

Nice trick. Does that mean you also use bfgminer to mine with the cubes? Or is it just doing a stratum proxy for the cubes to make use of?

babaji.ca,

I'm using bfgminer on RaspberryPi as a stratum proxy for cube and at the same time mining with with USB Redfury.



If anyone interested in I have saved a copy of the Bfgminer 3.8.1 pre-configured with http-port for RaspberryPi user. But I'm not sure does it work for you guys with just the tarball.

Why not compile Bfgminer with http-proxy ?

I'm running 4 cube miner with Raspberry PI with Bfgminer as proxy using "--http-port". It only consume about 30% of the CPU for whole week.


hagenuk  - do you use any switches to launch your BFGminer Stratum Proxy on your Pi?
I've seen references to  --rt and --nm (midstate data) and --q and I cannot find the readme that details these
I'm using no Switches on my Pi BFGMiner Proxy (apart from --http-port XXXX) and after about 4 hours is reporting the expected 38Ghs now
So seems to be working ok, but if it can work more efficiently..... Then I feel compelled to make it so.

wedgy2k, i uses only --http-port 3333 and also --api-listen --api-network for the PiMiner status on RaspBerryPi LCD display.

Possibly a brief undervolt condition that's not enough to trip the power supply but enough to keep VRMs from firing up properly and the chips error out because they're taking slightly too long to initialize. The 380 probably isn't nearly as busy inside as the big guys (likely active PFC and a bunch of other mess) so it might have better output capacitors since there's likely more room for them. I'd try the capacitors-wedged-in-the-6pin trick and see if that helps smooth things out.

Otherwise, really no idea why it might work on a low-end PSU but not a big sexy one.


Yeah it's a funny one. The capacitors did fix my other issue with the Cubes tripping the Seasonic's breaker, but it only seems to work with one Cube at a time, i could not get it to work with two cubes attached. I am going to RMA it. Not worth the hassle.

I did try the trick with the capicator on this particular cube, but it still has the xxxxxxxxx's. I will try it with the thermaltake, next time it crashed and reverts to xxxxxxxx's  (it working now and I dont want to take it offline)

Thanks for all your help with the Seasonic. It was very educational!

Hi babaji.ca, do you have a photo or diagram to show how to put in a capacitor for Seasonic X750 PSU ? I had the same issues with the cube tripping the my PSU when I power on.

A picture tells a thousand word.  Smiley

TIA.

2!!!?!?! lol Goodluck

I can't sell them at lost as I'm paying addition 7% import tax in my country. If no buyer I'm keeping it.  Wink

just <FYI>

installed stratum to ras pi. The python process took up 85-95% of cpu with one cube on low. Ran well 31,000 mhs. however the second cube would not get above 15,000 mhs. I think the raspi was saturated. moved server duty to a real machine, works well now. getting full speed from two cubes while the third is still in low mode due to toy PSU.

bought another powersupply this morning, a thermaltake  850w bronze, it has two cubes in high mode. seems to draw about 770 W according to kill-a-watt meter. a little more than advertised i guess. Not sure if that is accurate.

I better get the seasonic 1050 watt back in service soon!

Well managed to blow 2 PSU tonight 2x 650W on Overclock, Still got 1 running on a 750W but not overclocking due to tonights antics.

Will sort out orders tomorrow already got 1 shipped today

£33.60 for postage to UK to UK!

CroverNo01, did you mean that 650W is not even enough to over clock 1 box ?

Meanwhile I'm waiting for my box to arrive from China, and I'm sourcing a PSU to power 2 x box.

Are you able to advice is Corsair TX850M sufficient to power two box(over clocked) at the same time ?
