This shipment will be issue 1.1?

Has anyone gotten Raspberry Pi to work with Ztex boards?
Edit: Hashing happily away!

I used the Debian preinstall image from raspberrypi.org then
apt-get install git build-essential autoconf pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev
got the latest from github and built it. Binaries seem to be GTG!
Just make sure your micro usb charger is at least 1 amp or it will act squirrely. I'm using an HP 2 amp designed for their no defunct webos tablet (you can pick one up for about 5 bucks).
I tried this, run autogen.sh then tried CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-ztex but I get: checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/pi/git/cgminer':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

+1 for #1 here. Mind publishing the address of the miner who submitted that block? He might come forward and help resolve this.

What about Win7 32 ? Tried it today, downloaded Zadig and installed the WinUSB drivers. Was working fine, the boards showed up as ZTEX Modules. When i started cgminer it froze and said something like "capability missing 0 7"... what did i wrong ? I also use a BitForce single and 2 GPUs on this machine.
I was getting this from time to time on linux (BAMT debian) CGMiner 2.4.1. Changed back to BTCMiner + Phoenix |

Yohan, any estimate on when you will be able to post performance numbers?

I just noticed that the efficiency drops tremendously, when primary pool is unavailable. Stales up to 7%, cluster of 8 running pool as backup is getting around 700 Mhash/s to the pool while a cluster of 9 at the same pool, but using it as primary is getting full 1800 Mhash/s
Falling into backup server also makes BTCMiner highly unresponsive (f. ex. re-scanning bus freezes output for over 10s)
Is there a way or plans to improve this?

No. Do I have to use the pad and thermal compond???
No, you should put about the amount of a tip of a match on to the chip, then spread it evenly. Then put the heatsink on top and attach it using the metal parts and nylon fasteners to the board. Move it around a bit and you're set. [EDIT] Sorry I noticed you tried this allready. I would say your heatsink is not 100% flat. Try using little extra AS5, put it in the middle, don't spread, press heatsink on and clip it in, then move and twist it a bit to get a better spread. |

@punin: do you mean the log that it writes with the -l option or does it write another log file?
I run miner from /etc/rc.local on startup: screen -d -m /root/FPGAstart.sh FPGAstart.sh just to be just: java -cp /home/user/Downloads/ZtexBTCMiner-120417.jar BTCMiner -host "http://mypool:8332" -u myworker -p foo -b "http://mybackup_pool:8332" user pass -v -m c
That resulted in a BTCMiner.log being created in /home/user/Downloads/ Adding option -l /dev/null prevents this. |

I noticed the BTCMiner creates and writes to a log file. This is a problem for me as I'm running the miners as part of BAMT rig running off a USB stick, so I want to avoid any unnecessary writes. My quick fix to this problem was to run with -l /dev/null
Just wanted to share this so someone else will not have the same problem (I ran out of space on USB stick).

Hey guys, We are collecting donations to send a 1.15x board to Con in Australia, so he can make the CGMiner compatible with Ztex boards. Please donate if you feel like this is something you'd wish for/could be useful to you.. http://bountychest.com/bountychest/ztex-support-for-cgminer/Address for donations: 15vVYfwx2cjkYzHB8yKhGeTw1MZz2NdhrJ |

I guess solo mining is out of the question but I'm curious if its still worthwhile to mine in a pool?
Not really, unless electricity is free for you. |

Greetings to all, fuckings to lamers and trolls, gl to all miners out there!

Anyone here running BAMT and considering Ztex FPGAs? I already went down that path, and have been discussing the possibility of better integration of Ztex miner into BAMT with the developer of BAMT. He want's some BTC for the work, but if we pool together we could have very nice integration with support for gpumon etc. Anyone interested?

I get: Starting RPCminer (CPU)...
--------------------------
/Applications/RPCminer.app/Contents/MacOS/RPCminer-exe: line 186: ./rpcminer: Bad CPU type in executable
Did something go wrong? Relaunch and enter the Set up wizard by pressing 1 and Enter during start-up, and check your configuration.
logout
[Process completed] What's wrong? I'm on a 10.6 Hackintosh with Intel Q6600 |

I'm trying to pool mine with http://mining.bitcoin.czI keep getting: Can't connect to Bitcoin: Bitcoin returned unparsable JSON But in the bottom left corner of the terminal it's displaying khash, and it's changing all the time. Am I mining or not? |
