I bought 1 U3 miner and got it running with cgminer 4.8.0 on Ubuntu. I had some serious issues getting it going, for some reason the supplied USB did not work and as soon as I used another it went up and I overclocked a bit. Got a nice stable 59.9 Gh/s at 780mV/238Mhz - using the stock PSU and I heard it can melt if you go over 790mV.  Whatever, i am happy with ~60Gh/s

I ordered a seconds one after selling my old stuff. Again, USB cable problem, kept on going zombie and didnt detect it properly for a while.

I unplugged the first one I got, powered down the machine, used that USB cable, powered up with the new one Solo with OC settings. It detected fine but its only running at 45Gh/s

I plugged in the first one with another USB cable I had, hotplug detect, jumped straight in and went to 60Gh/s.

Ok, so I removed the OC setting and run cgminer again then it started up fine, detecting both units. But now the new unit runs at 30Gh/s and the 1st unit at 40Gh/s.

Wierd? I turned on OC again and tried various USB ports and a few other USB cables. This new, 2nd unit just wont go over 45Gh/s - Is it normal for such a large deviation in hashing?

My pool reports 112Gh/s but cgminer says 104Gh/s - but I know no to trust the pool stats. I was hopping to get just about 120gh/s with these 2 boys.

Does anybody know why this could be happening with the new, 2nd unit I bought?

I run my p2pool locally and the latest version 80202 of bitcoind.

It has been running like this for nearly 20 days with erupters. All fine and dandy until a few days ago I noticed my erning started to drop slowly.. So I changed my payout address, restarted everything, made sure its got internet connection and everything.

With the new address 3 blocks were found on p2pool. I have not had 1 payout? It shows me as active in the list.

The last address I had showed me in payouts but suddenly stopped (3 payouts ago)

Does anybody know how I can find out what the problem is?

Thanks!

-EDIT
When I look at payouts on http://p2pool.org:9332/static/ my 2 addresses show up there with a daft amount of BTC, Completely incorrect to what I have in my wallets? (although it says there are no transaction and it was never used?)

https://blockchain.info/address/1FWCuNvQPuXSncBSsutsHAdV3j9zDEh9GZ
Shows no transaction but there should be at least 2.

When I look at http://p2pool.info/ payout addresses neither record is in the payout but the current one is active

currenlty active: 1FWCuNvQPuXSncBSsutsHAdV3j9zDEh9GZ
old: 18765YYjFfrpqoRs85SpWKG6v1bJjx7s5Y

OLD address not present even though I was mining

Made new address and rebooted everything, server, routers, etc.

old address is missing
new address is missing but shows active

and all the next blocks the same...

something to do with the hard fork? .. i suspect since myp2pool is on 11 something looks like 13.1 is laters. Will try to update. But will use public pool for now.

I setup p2pool on my ubuntu  12.04LTS x64 machine. Installed cgminer 3.3 and ran it. the newest cgminer is supposed to support the USB mode without any extra configuration.

I have 2 erupters on a powered usb2 hub and 2 running off the motherboard direct. the hashing is just not stable. jumping from 50mh to 300, then getting sick and restarting- there are a ton of rejects. I don't know what is wrong. I have been reading all the posts one after the other and I am stumped. Please can somebody help me.
