1  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: [StarMiner] - ARM controller image for your ASIC mining needs! on: June 08, 2014, 01:19:30 AM
I went ahead and gave StarMiner a try and it has been working pretty well so far!  I'm running 3 GAWMiners Furies (Zeus Blizzard) on it, and I just thought I'd share my experiences with anyone else who wants to run multiple GAW/Zeus miners with StarMiner.  You will need to edit the SeedManager config settings for the miner to manually configure each miner's search parameter, like so:



Since I am running 3 Furies, I specified the USB port for each one.  It will generally start at USB0 and increment by one from there, so just add as many as you have devices.  Once you do this, just restart the profile and you should have all of your miners hashing away!  You can always ssh into the Pi and type the "starsc" command to view the miner console to make sure it found them all.  Hope this helps!

@LinuxETC:

Thanks for StarMiner!  I hope you'll be able to optimize the web front end to give it better performance in the future!

So, it looks like there is some kind of software issue when trying to run both off of one cgminer instance. This was on Windows 7; is the same issue going to occur on the ZenMiner? Where it looks like it's hashing correctly, but it's silently only sending one miners work?

I'm running 3 Furies on Windows 7 using the provided cgminer without any issues.  The only difference is that I specified all 3 com ports to check on the command line.

You could try adding "-S COM7 -S COM9" to your cgminer start line and see if that helps.

I also have had no issues using all 3 of them on my zenMiner.  Both ways, I get about 4MH/s out of all 3 combined on clever.  If the pool you are mining on has a low worker difficulty setting, you're going to start getting a lot more stales and rejects than if you try to mine on a pool with a starting worker difficulty of 512 or higher.

I saw that post reactor made before it got deleted (and rightfully so).  He was complaining that someone else's shipment made it to the states before his.  I have seen a lot of trolls before, but this guy ranks pretty high up on the list... In other news, my order number for 3 furies is in the 56## range and I just received my tracking number today.  If it arrives by Friday, I will be completely satisfied considering where it was shipped from.  I also happened to receive a ZenMiner unit today too.  Out of all of the companies promising ASICs out there, the guys at GAW have so far delivered on their promises to the best of their ability.  I can forgive them for shipping 1 day later than promised.  (It's better than 1 year later!)

Thanks for all your hard work GAW staff!  You're still #1 in my book!

How much difference can a well setup pool make??  If you know how pools work, this will make your mouth water...

So according to your pool's block found stats as of this posting:
Time FrameBlocks Found
Last Hour0
Last 24 Hours11

Now let's take another pool, such as Bitcrush:
Time FrameBlocks Found
Last Hour3
Last 24 Hours100

I'm not quite seeing how your pool is better in this case...?

anyone wanna help i have 2 7870s and i get this https://i.imgur.com/t329Jqx.png i have tried fresh driver install and rolled back the driver also does not work

Whatever folder you have arOpenCLMAX.exe in needs to have a subfolder called opencl which contains miner.cl.

Root
|--> opencl
|     +--> miner.cl
+--> arOpenCLMAX.exe

If you don't have this, you will get the errors shown in your screenshot because the miner can't find the cl script.

HOW to run cgminer on ypool?

That's what I want to know, or is it not possible??

cgminer uses the stratum/getwork protocol to connect to a pool.  ypool does not support stratum/getwork.  It only supports x.PushThrough (XPT).
That is why it does not work on ypool.  There is a rumor that eventually someone will add support for it to xptminer, or that maybe there will be a proxy made to allow it, but for now, it won't work.

223mh/s with 1 r9 290?

Yes!

what's your command Im getting just 60000 on my r9 290


Code:
arOpenCLMAX.exe -o http://ypool.net -u id.worker -p xxx -d 0

This is my command line for it:
Code:
arOpenCLMAX.exe -o ypool.net -u <mylogin>.<myworker> -p <mypassword>

I am also using the Catalyst 13.12 drivers and I am using MSI Afterburner to overclock to 1000MHz core clock and 1350Mhz Memory clock with +20 powertune.

Working great on my R9 290! Thanks!

What's going on with BitcoinTalk, getting ddos'd too?

It's because the launch of Maxcoin was supposed to happen about 45 minutes ago and it is still overloading the [Suspicious link removed]ervers.

The problem is that it's just another vanilla scrypt coin, and there are plenty of those already in existence.  Since it doesn't really bring anything new to the table, people are probably just going to treat it as a mine and dump coin unless it can gain an actual use.  I mined up to about 180k coins, but there aren't really worth anything right now until they find a good purpose.  Vertcoin on the other hand...

That's odd, but I know I have had something similar with a Fury stick, it doesn't show up, but is still recognized by e.g. Bfgminer.
Try to download USBDview:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html

It shows all devices, even "hidden" ones and if active or not, etc. You can easily delete drivers there. Might help to restart the install process.

I will check it out, but interestingly enough, I installed a VirtualBox VM running Windows 8 on this machine and then attached the two U1's to the VM's USB and now both of them work in the VM.  I'm wondering if it has something to do with the Intel USB drivers for my Asus Maximus VI Hero motherboard.

EDIT:
Turns out that they are now working on my machine without running them in the VM.  I uninstalled the drivers for the USB 3.0 controller on my motherboard and the cgminer version on the antminer github picks them up now.  Of course, this means now my USB 3.0 ports don't work on my motherboard, so hopefully the cgminer/bfgminer devs will add support for multiple USB controllers in the future.

I'm having difficulty getting mine to work. I've followed instructions to the letter but just getting no device found when running cgminer.

Running i3 laptop 64bit Windows 7 off powered USB hub (although straight into USB doesn't make a difference)

I've managed to finally get it working in bfgminer but only getting 1.0gh/s and can't understand why.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks

Yeah, I'm getting the same issue.
It shows up fine in the Device Manager before Zadig:



and after Zadig:




But either way, the antminer version of cgminer won't detect anything:



The first attempt was with the U1 plugged in and the second attempt was with it removed from the system.  In both cases, it's only detecting 4 USB devices total.

I have tried uninstalling all of the drivers and reinstalling them, as well as rebooting the machine, but no matter what I do, I can't get it to detect even just one of them (I have 2).
