Hi Canary,
My Blade had been running 4 days shy of three months then started acting up.
It was only giving me double digits "accepted" as viewed on the proxy for a few seconds after powering up before hashrate dropped to zero and it started rebooting. I changed power supplies. I've reconfigured the routing a number of times and my other miners are running okay so the router shouldn't be the problem.
Then the ASIC chip display changed from all "O"'s to all "x"'s. I've reset to factory defaults repeatedly, the new config showing 192.168.1.2,btcguild.com, but still all "'x"'s. Reconfiguring to my proxy's I still see no indication of requesting work. The web interface works fine.
I note that soon after getting the Blade 3 months ago I soldered a tantalum capacitor between the + & - pins at the power plug. That is fine.
I measure 11.8vdc in and 1.04volts on the copper pads mid board.
I would almost guess it's the PIC acting up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

as far as I know, blade modifications void the warranty. you'd need to contact here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270573.0 to see what can or can not be done. I do not have instructions to replace modified blades. |

I hope you're trolling... Read the FAQ on OP's post. You must use a wallet that you can send signed messages with, such as the client or blockchain. Coinbase does not have the ability to send signed messages since they do not send funds from your wallet. When you send funds from coinbase, it is sent from a coinbase address, not your address. There is no way to prove who actually sent the funds from coinbase. In other words, if you sent money w/ coinbase, you just sent an unverifiable payment. aka, you sent an unmarked clear envelope of money to Canary. Everyone can see the envelope and its contents, nobody knows who it's from. https://blockchain.info/tx/37d13b1bd517038207a2009a4fedcb6703f65443b104461c02145c0a22da0f75Perhaps Canary can work with you on this... but you'll likely have to wait. Please read the instructions next time. I hope you're trolling... Read the FAQ on OP's post. You must use a wallet that you can send signed messages with, such as the client or blockchain.

Please read the instructions next time. I read the instructions throughly, I thought that my wallet at block chain and on coin base worked the same even though coin base is an exchange because I had seen a similar situation. Someone just posted how to sign on coinbase so I guess you can did I miss something else other that that? as long as you can sign with one of the sending addys from your transaction, you should be OK. |

So, I've noticed something else happening to my cube. It reboots at exactly 2 minutes. It is also constantly switch between pool A and pool B(same address). I will post my config below:
I'm sure it would be fine if it wasn't rebooting exactly every 2 minutes. Does anybody have a user's manual for the cube? Maybe something that would explain the 2 minute reboot. I'm going to buy the psu that the op recommended to see if that fixes this. Thanks.
Your blade and stratum proxy aren't playing nice, hence 'long poll inactive'. dogie,
what do you think about modifying the directions to show how to add a secondary IP to ones computer that would participate on the 192.168.254.x /24 network instead of folks having to re-IP their whole setup?
one can add a secondary IP to their NIC and then be able to reach a blade or a cube and then they can change miner's addy to join an existing network...
this may be easier?
I specifically avoid things like this in guides as the people who need the guide are looking for the simple solution. In this case that is changing router IP which they are relatively familiar with. Most people run on 192.168. 1 as default anyway. most people don't run that by default actually... depends on equipment and the ISP. maybe it's more geographic. but if anyone gets an issue with their internet service in the US for ex. (can't speak for the rest of the world however), one of the provider's favorite thing to do is to instruct the user on how to reset the router (after rebooting doesn't work). so that would be back to original IP config on the router/modem... either approach works though. thanks for making these guides! |

I have 4 cubes running on 3 different power supplies, an Antec 1200, a Corsair CX750, and one on a Rocketfish 500W I had lying around. Right now, switching the clock to high makes no difference in the speed -- they all hover around 29.5GH/s, whether in high or low. When I set up the first one, it did overclock up into the mid 30's... then I got distracted setting up the rest, and never really noticed when everything changed. Any ideas at all? I'm not sure where to start on this one.
Potentially might be limited by proxy or network topology limiting hash rate. Ok! That's kind of the direction I was going, too. I did just add a switch in order to increase ports. But I'm lousy with networking, any further thoughts? Is having a switch bad? But I needed more ports.. ugh. While I still don't know the exact cause of the network-wide slowdown, I moved the proxy server to another machine on the network and that fixed the problem. The cubes are running in the high 30s again. Yep, mysterious network topology  . Sometimes its the switches playing bad and not liking the frequency they get spammed with getwork packets, regardless of how small. afaik the network interface on blades and cubes is 10 MB. some network equipment may not deal with this properly. if it's a managed switch, try setting the port config to 10MB. however, a good switch should autosense to 10 MB. I do not know if they are half or full duplex. |

What size box per cube? How many cubes fit into one box?
I'll post that info when Cubes arrive. Isn't this the second batch of cubes you're doing though? Yes it is. Expect to receive them between tomorrow and Friday as long as friedcat shipped out as expected. Thanks! Did you not get the first batch shipped out yet to know what boxes? unlikely to use same boxes. Cubes don't really fit into "traditional" USPS boxes, so I have to find other boxes. 1st batch was OK, but I wasn't too happy with boxes, so for second batch I'm planning on something else. Hence, as requested, please wait for instructions. Thanks |
