Is there a diagram anywhere online showing all the components of the V1.2 H-cards? (The chips and capacitors are easy enough to spot, but I'd like to know specifically where the regulator is, and the inductor.) I tried reading the schematic, but it wasn't very helpful for me.

Thanks.

Okay, thanks. That will be helpful to remember for future troubleshooting.

What test did you do to determine the card wasn't working?

Yup, that was it. Thanks for your help.

Sorry for the confusion, but do I put 'mint.bitminter.com' or 'stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com' on the Bitfury admin page?

Right now I'm using stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com along with port 3333. The username and worker details appear to be correct as well. All other pools work fine (BTC Guild, Slush's Pool, etc.), but for some reason I can't connect to Bitminter.

Thank you for the advice, but I am using port 3333 along with stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com. The username and worker details appear to be correct as well. All other pools work fine (BTC Guild, Slush's Pool, etc.), but for some reason I can't connect to Bitminter. All the noncerate does is continually flash 0GH/s.

Anyone have a suggestion?

EDIT: I was typing in 'stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com' instead of just 'mint.bitminter.com' on the admin page. Thanks for the help.

Does anyone have advice on connecting to Bitminter via stratum proxy with a Bitfury rig?

I'm trying to connect using stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com (on the admin page), and the noncerate is just flashing 0GH/s. I can't figure it out and it's very frustrating.

I'm trying to connect using stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com (on the admin page), and the noncerate is just flashing 0GH/s. I can't figure it out and it's very frustrating.

So I just restarted the stratum proxy to change the pool settings (while the rig was running; not sure if that's a problem), and the admin page froze. I tried reconnecting through my browser using the bitfury's IP address, but it wouldn't connect. Everything was working fine up until this point.

I rebooted the Pi, checked ifconfig, and tried to connect to the IP address again. Still nothing. I shutdown the Pi, removed the wireless dongle, and restarted everything. Still didn't work. After plugging the dongle back in, I pinged my gateway IP manually from the Pi and it went through fine, but my router isn't recognizing the Pi as being connected. And the rig still isn't mining.

Could someone please tell me what I did, or what I can do to fix it? Thanks very much.

EDIT: Reset my router, got it working.

Sorry if I'm being annoying, but could someone explain how the dab of thermal paste doesn't short the chip connections on the back of the H-board?

I'm new to electrical engineering, and don't want to make a mistake.

EDIT: So far, this is the best explanation I've found. Could someone explain if it's correct? Thanks.

Do you put an 'X' of thermal paste on the back of heatsink, with glue at the four corners? I'd like to do this, but I'm finding conflicting advice online on how much paste to use, and how to apply it.

Working on getting a pic. Sorry for the delay.

Just out of curiosity, why doesn't thermal tape have the same effect?

EDIT: Seems like the thermal paste won't be an issue: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=287590.msg4584574#msg4584574

The copper heatsinks I have did not come with thermal adhesive/tape on them. I have Artic Silver thermal paste and thermal adhesive, so I was wondering if I could affix the heatsinks to the back of the H-board using that.

My concern is that when I look at the back of the H-board, I can see the tiny soldering connections on the back of the chip. Since the paste is minimally conductive, does that mean if I affix the heatsinks using it, I'll short the connections?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm very new to electrical engineering. Thanks very much.

Thanks for the screenshot. I was hoping it was that simple (got caught up in thinking I had to install something).

How did you connect to slush's pool with a bitfury rig? Did you install the stratum proxy for Linux on the Pi?



Would that affect the bitfury's admin page though? Shouldn't I be showing a noncerate of something, even though BTC Guild isn't picking it up?
