1  Other / Beginners & Help / Mining setup question on: August 24, 2013, 07:22:32 PM
Hello,

I currently have BOTH USB ASIC miners, along with a couple GPU's.  Currently, I run cgminer, on two separate machines.  One containing just the usb miners, the other on my main machine using GPU's.

Id like to just move the USBminers over to my main machine, use cgminer to run BOTH the gpu/usb ASIC.  I have tried messing with my launch batch script, but I  cannot get it these to run together, under one instance of cgminer.  I can get it to work fine while running both GUI miner and cgminer, but id like to keep it all in one application if I can.

Is anyone doing this currently?  if so, can you please copy/paste your launch batch file so I can compare to see what I maybe missing?  OR is this NOT possible to do BOTH(usb/gpu) within the same cgmining instance? 

Thank you for your time.

Has anyone used Bitmit recently...

Do you notice the exchange rate is lower than the actual value?

example:  upper left of the bitmit page currently - 1BTC- 113.34 USD, while the current rate is 120.79..   Does this auto correct itself at the time of checkout?
3  Other / Beginners & Help / My 6870 is now only showing 8 Khash\s vs. the normal 228-230 MH\s on: August 16, 2013, 04:02:23 PM
I have no idea what could have caused this..

Using Guimner, it will launch and start off ok, and hold the normal 228-230MH\s range.  After roughly 10 min or so, it will just DROP to 4-8 KHash\s which is pretty much nothing. No changes, or add-ons to the system at all. Same with updates.

Doing a Clean install of the 11-11 driver  didnt seem to solve anything,  has anyone run into an issue like this?

Thank you
4  Other / Beginners & Help / possible! ASIC USB erupter issues on: August 13, 2013, 11:31:58 PM
Hello, Pretty new to the mining thing here...

I currently have 5 ASIC USB sticks spread across a usb 2.0 hub, and 2 units directly connected to the machine.  Having done research on these before purchase, they also have a small heatsink over the ASIC chip itself.  Backed by a 120mm server (high RPM) fan less than an inch away.  

I had gotten #5 in the mail today and went to work,  once I was done messing with the hub and connectivity issues, I am up and running.  However, I notice  I seem to catch a few HW errors than I should, and probably more importantly, one of the USB miners is accepting shares at a lower rate.  Example being :

ICA0: A:387 R:10 HW: 8
ICA1: A:385 R:5   HW: 4
ICA2: A: 80  R:4   HW: 3

etc...

According to CGminer 3.1.1, ICA2 is hashing at the targeted/advertised rate, though the accepted share is so low. Sadly, I was not paying close enough attention while mining with the four to know if this is an ongoing issue or not.  

It seems to me I am having a high number of HW errors given that such a high flow fan and added heatsinks are onboard.  Is it possible I have bad USB sticks, or is this more simple and along the lines of a USB hub being the cause?

Any help/pointers  etc is much appreciated! I can provide Screenshots or anything if needed.

Thank you
