Hi,
twice today, same unit.
It seems to be pool dependant.
It is rock-solid on btcguild, but locked up twice in two days of hashing on hhtt and I cannot hash more than a few minutes on p2pool.
Maybe the very little available memory and something related to the way pools send stratum work to cgminer.
Go figure.

One unit stuck again, latest firmware, so the issue is not solved, it happens rarely, but it still happens.
Having a way to reset the control board without phisically switching off/on the unit would be a plus.

It's situations like this that will destroy the credibility of Bitcoin before it ever really reaches the masses. Truthfully, bitcoin does not need a foundation board. It's counter productive. It seems whatever they do, is only in the best interest of the other businesses and investments they hold and this just confirms that to all. Why on earth did the die hard, initial bitcoiners ever support this? I'll tell you why, impatience. So eager to see bitcoin take over the world, you put the very credibility of something that is credible on its own merits, in the hands of average, everyday corruptible investors.
If that's what the goal is, then just hand bitcoin over to Bain capital or Mitt Romney and they'll run it in the ground real quick. Sorry for the political jab but the broader point is, bitcoin is awesome and attractive because of its decentralization and lack of central control of the "brand". We are the brand. Everyone one of us that buys, sells, trades and mines bitcoins. Not greedy, trust fund babies who are simply trying to promote their crappy restaurants and other certain to fail ventures. Sigh...my vote, permanently dissolve the entire foundation and never again support such nonsense. Trust in bitcoin on its own merits and let it run free. At least if it dies, it dies on its own. Not at the hands of people who couldn't even spell marketing, let alone bitcoin.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. spiccioli

RE moving keys.
I have thought about something similar but it gets quite confusing because to move a key you need to:
...
I don't think it is practical.
Remembering size and position of screen, dividers, column widths etc then yes it is already on my TODO list. I will probably do the screen size, position and divider position first as that is more intrusive that it forgets it.
Jim, thanks for clarifying. spiccioli

Hi Jim,
regarding wallets and keys, I'd like to have the possibility to drag and drop an address from one wallet to another one (inside multibit) as a form of coin control.
For example: let's say that I got a sizeable sum from a trade on an address and I want to move that address to my encripted/safe wallet removing it from my day-to-day one which is not encrypted.
Would this be feasible?
There is a second question now, in the transaction grid I can resize columns but when I restart multibit, columns get resized back to their default. Can column sizes be made permanent?
Thanks!

Use older firmware, the one with 2.10.5a IIRC and use username+16 or username+32 diff for stratum to work. Still expect 20-30% DOA, but full speed hashrates after a minute or so.
2.11.4 with the worker threads seems to break p2pool again under stratum.
I've been out of town, plus buried in work and just getting back.
Hi Aseras, I'd prefer not to downgrade due to the stuck Avalon problem biting me a couple of times with previous firmware. I'll wait to see if this gets fixed, otherwise I'll keep mining elsewhere. Thanks spiccioli.

Qualcuno mi spiega perche non riesco a collegarmi con nessun p2pool ne per bitcoin ne per litecoin, tramite cgminer. Mentre mi funziona perfettamente con un mining tool tipo coinotron. avvio il programma con questa sintassi cgminer -o http://p2pool.soon.it:9332/ -u XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -p ciao a dire il vero e una semplificazione con coinotron uso una cosa del genere e funziona cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -u user.user -p password --thread-concurrency 3968 -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 con il p2p Ottengo questo risultato Started cgminer 2.11.4 Started cgminer 2.11.4 Probing for an alive pool Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid Dove sbaglio ? Ciao, da nessuna parte, p2pool.soon.it in questo momento e' giu' ed e' per questo che non ti risponde. Ho un problema HW su quella macchina e siccome nessuno la usava, l'ho disattivato senza pensarci troppo so. Qui c'e' l'elenco di quelli attivi, provane qualcuno di quelli piu' vicini a te https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=66182.0Ciao. spiccioli. PS. nel mio si minavano solo BTC, occhio che non tutti i punti d'ingresso hanno tutte le alt-coin disponibili.

I know Aseras and ckolivas spent some time trying to get Avalons to play with p2pool with mixed results I think. If Aseras is AFK then maybe ask ckolivas how it went?
I know as well, the "strange" thing is, see my link in my previous message, that I can mine using stratum on p2pool using cgminer 2.10.5 with some cairnsmore1 boards, but I cannot mine, on the same p2pool, with an Avalon using latest firmware, and so cgminer 2.11.4 ckolivas says it is a p2pool problem, so I've reported it here. spiccioli

I think I got p2pool working on avalon with stratum.. maybe. its hashing at full speed last couple of minutes in main.py serverfactory = switchprotocol.FirstByteSwitchFactory({'{': stratum.StratumServerFactory(wb)}, web_serverfactory)
same workaround as p2pool avalon branch, to disable work caching. Hi Aseras, I've found this message of yours, I'm using avalon branch of p2pool and this line is present inside p2pool/p2pool/main.py but I still cannot mine using an Avalon with stratum, I only get invalids. I have to put --fix-protocol Did you make other changes? Any idea? Thanks spiccioli

thanks for confirming, but what's stopping cgminer inside avalon from using stratum with p2pool?
I have several cairnsmore boards mining on p2pool with stratum with cgminer 2.10.5, so a much older version than the one inside latest avalon firmware.
is this a problem of p2pool code or one of the version of cgminer inside avalon?

here you can see 10 cairnsmore1 mining on p2pool with stratum and all is running fine. cgminer is also older than the one on latest avalon firmware. But if I point my Avalon to my p2pool without adding --fix-protocol I only get invalids. How can it be? spiccioli

Hi spiccioli Add other cgminer options (like --fix-protocol) to /etc/init.d/cgminer is right. I plan to add [Cgminer options] to the web page in next firmware. then we can add the 4th pool or 5th pool at [Cgminer options]. Xiangfu Hi xiangfu,
I've just updated my units, but I still cannot mine on p2pool without using --fix-protocol which has to be added by hand to /etc/init.d/cgminer
Is this the way it is supposed to be? Shouldn't p2pool mining be working with stratum when using latest cgminer?

Ok, $ cd p2pool $ git branch * avalon master $
and # cat /etc/avalon_version 20130419 cgminer-8e8313c luci-28b4ff2 cgminer-openwrt-packages-f2bc5dc
without --fix-protocol I only get invalids and Avalon shows a mining speed around 500-800 MH/s As soon as I put --fix-protocol and restart cgminer it starts hasing at the correct speed. So edit: Avalon wiki page is misleading where it says the following option may need to be passed to Avalon's cgminer:
--fix-protocol: Do not redirect to a different getwork protocol (eg. stratum)
it is not may need it is has tospiccioli

afaik you have to use "avalon" branch
rav3n_pl, I don't follow you, what do you mean by "avalon branch"? spiccioli Its a git command, git checkout <branch> make the current branch <branch>, updating the working directory to reflect the version referenced by <branch> So in the directory of the p2pool which you cloned with git Not sure if you need to change anything else. Or if there is a zip/tar of the p2pool avalon branch. Hi, I've made this test, no way, without --fix-protocol I get invalids only :/ spiccioli
