I'd suggest you try reflashing with "keep settings" UN-checked. This will reset your machine to defaults so you will have to set your password, network settings, turn off the WIFI, etc... just like you did when you first received your machine.

Did you un-check the box that said "keep settings"?

I'd be very interested to see the contrast between the average South-East Asia classroom and the average North America classroom...

In my experience and observation, NA school system in general is less about learning and more about popularity and social status.

Sample conversation with a typical NA 13 year old:
Teacher: ... and this is a bitcoin miner. It performs millions of calculations every second to...
Student: (interrupts) Will it update my Facebook?
Teacher: ?? Well, no, but it has the potential to completely revolutionize ...
Student: (interrupts again) Useless.

 

in my case, first scan was monday june 24 @16:06 local time Beijing

delivered was tuesday june 25 @ 16:28 mountain standard time, north america

this was DHL

right now, my options are --quiet --avalon-temp 0 --avalon-cutoff 45  ... fans are reporting 3840 rpm (not actually that loud, unless you're a sissy  ) --- temp 1 is at 22 and temp 2 and 3 are at 37 (AC pointing directly at the intake)


whatever you did, it worked like magic!

Thanks again CK!

I'm not an expert at anything. It's Saturday night after the bar and I might be drunk. I might not even understand what I'm writing and I have no data to back up my thoughts, but here they are anyways..

My feeling is that we are approaching a massive sell-off in all markets. Cash will be king, for a while. Perhaps bitcoin will be a form of cash during this time, perhaps not.

For a short time, there will be some incredible opportunities to buy certain commodities, companies, or properties, at extremely low prices as people are forced to sell almost everything they own simply to feed their families.

The problem I see happening is that people will expect a recovery, a return to 'normal'. I don't think most people realize that what we have been experiencing over the last 30+ years; what most people think is 'normal' is simply massive inflation and debt accumulation and this is not sustainable.



This party is going to end. The music will stop. All that will be left is the scrambling for chairs.

Thanks for the workaround, good to know there is a way to bypass the TP-Link.

just a note about these -71 errors, I was getting the same thing (see   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=156323.msg2611536#msg2611536  )

ckolivas' new firmware 0627 seems to have fixed this somehow, I've been over 5 hours now without a restart, no more -71 errors, running at 345 mhz - average speed reported 81660 - pool (bitminter) has been guesstimating my speed between 70 and 90+ so it seems to be working quite well,

just wanted to note this in case anyone else is having constant restarts due to -71 errors.

just for you (since I've noticed not many have been providing this info) here's mine.

I received mine a few days ago, I expect/hope you will get yours soon!

*NOTE* one thing I noticed and really worried about when I placed my order was that I neglected to add a fee, and I remember my transaction took a very long time to get into the blockchain. (over an hour for my first confirmation)  -- as you can imagine this was quite nerve wracking at the time and I have second guessed myself ever since... but it appears as though it had no effect on the shipping queue. In my case at least, it appears that I was placed in the queue as soon as I hit the button, not when the payment cleared.

Take heart, and may your avalon arrive soon and hash fast like a cheetah! (*side note, most batch 2's can hit 345 MHz no problem, so if you were expecting 66 GH/s you may be pleased to be surprised with 75+ sustained*)

Hi Humax, just to clarify. I understand you have 2 avalons (I'm assuming both are the black model with the F1 fuse removed) -- one works fine right out of the box, and the other was restarting all the time? please let me know if I'm wrong in my assumptions.

I have seen the Lucy stuff when trying to connect on the previous IP address after the device defaulted back to 192.168.0.100

One thing to check, turn the device on, try to ping the original address as well as the default address and see if you get a response.. if you do get a response from some address, unpulg the avalon and try to ping that same address, if you still get a response, you may have a network conflict.

-edit- to be certain if this is the case, connect to the device with a laptop via a crossover cable and try to ping or connect...

(*my apologies if this is too basic and you've already tried*)

No, seriously, THANK YOU!

I mimicked the settings you had in the defaults (including the 56 LSD setting on my ozcoin account) and it's been almost 2 hours without a restart *and I have set to 300 now (was on 282 while trying to troubleshoot)



On another note, is it possible to change the way balancing works? For example, if you could set 3 or 4 different pools, set it to balance, and then set an arbitrary limit to one or more of those pools... this would allow me to send 1 or 2 GH/s your way, while still mining at 25-30 or so on my own pools...

Just a suggestion   

if you unchecked the "keep settings" box, your device network settings will be back to default. try to connect on 192.168.0.100 and see if it responds

Hi invader, and loshia, thanks for your insight. I just wanted to verify that bolded part above.. Do you mean that I should connect to all 3 PCIe connectors on the power distribution board?

My batch 2 miner came with 850W PSU and was only connected to 2 of the connectors on the PDB. I have since upgraded the PSU and I have an extra PCIe connector that I could connect to that board.

Should I do this? Have you tried it? Does it make any difference either way?

Thanks.

This sounds the same as the problem I'm having (Feb 18 order batch 2, just got it a few days ago) -- anyways let me know if you're seeing similar symptoms..


Symptoms: CGminer restarts intermittently (sometimes will last more than an hour, but usually restarts after 20 minutes or so)

What I've tried: Disable WIFI, disable NTP, opened the case and checked all connectors, replace PSU, replace router, update firmware with 2013.06.27 - (keep settings)

*after updating the firmware, it was ok for a little more than 2 hours before I went to bed, but then I checked this morning and it had re-started within the last 20 minutes  

system logs:
   -- this is what I was seeing with the original firmware (0519) - pages and pages of this:
^^ I don't know what that means, but it made me think to try replacing the router (it was quite old anyways) -- but it still re-starts all the time.

  -- now I don't get that message anymore but I do get a ton of this..
^^ that just goes on and on, I'm not sure if that's normal or not.

I've just tried to re-flash the 0627 firmware with "keep-settings" disabled - turned off the WIFI (removed the interface in the GUI) and I tried running with Con's donation pool settings (maybe there's something wrong with the way I set up my pools?) -- he deserves it anyways. -- been running half an hour now, got my fingers crossed!

:UPDATE: running over an hour now, Humax's comment below gave me the idea to try turning system log to "warning" to remove the news.info logs, didn't work, maybe needs reboot to apply?
 --- new update, just restarted again, right after I added my bitminter pool... I'm going to try to run it to ozcoin with similar settings to what Con was using and see how that goes  
 --- update, ozcoin mining on port 80 was doing fine, tested bitminter on port 5050 and it's been over 2 hours ok. Starting to wonder if my ISP is limiting or watching port 3333 somehow as every time I try to mine on that port cgminer reboots after a short time... dunno, could be anything

thank you for this TWMZ. I have been searching for some real power numbers for the singles.

now to extrapolate to a little single (if these ever get shipped) I would assume little more than half, probably 150W each is a generous estimate.

I'm guessing you run each single from a dedicated PCIe cable. What are the connectors like on the ASIC end? is it 2*6 pin connectors? or 1*8 and 1*6 -- or 2*8?

Do you expect one would be able to run 2 little singles from one PCIe cable?

---------------------
All batch 2 PSU are NOT the same, mine came with this ... so I'm curious, what exactly was the make and model of your PSU? Was it single rail? how many amps rated?

First thing I did, when I was setting the static IP, was disable the wifi... I only turned it off in the web interface, do I need to unplug it or something?

______________________
*EDIT* I just noticed, there is an additional pci-e connector on the power distribution board, it was not connected, (the original PSU had only 2 PCI connectors) -- I'm assuming that this is for 4 module operation, but would it hurt to connect this as well? might this help with overclocking the modules?

Anyone still getting constant restarts? Mine is batch 2, shipped June 24... I turned up the minimum difficulty to 64 (btcguild) but it still restarts every hour or so, sometimes only lasts 20 minutes between restarts...

It has not yet frozen or required hard boot, Firmware I think was 0519?? I can't remember exactly. it was set to 300 by default, I tried 282, no change. I haven't flashed it yet, I'm leery of flashing firmware to a device that's restarting randomly before I open it up and check connections and such...

Now it's apart and I'm connecting a 1200W silverstone (single 100A 12v rail) to take that out of the equation, but when I opened it up, it had a 850W Enermax with a single 70A rail, it's chinese (model ENM850EWT-S RG)  ... That's about the point I decided to ask for help, because in ten years of building computers I have never once had an Enermax PSU be the problem.  

Connectors look solid, nothing loose inside, I'm going to put it back together and see what happens. Any advice would be greatly appreciated (first time ASIC here)

I would open a ticket (with avalon) and ask if they made a typo in your notification email. Ask them to verify that you have the proper tracking number.

As long as your address is correct you should be receiving your avalon within a couple days. (mine arrived less than 6 hours after receiving the email notice, but I live in a shipping hub of my country)

thinking of upgrading my PSU. just want to verify that 1000W will be enough to power 4 modules? (assuming that either Avalon will start selling upgrade modules or clones will become available eventually)

Also, I'm looking at getting seasonic 1050XM -- anyone have any real-life experience or opinions of this PSU?

This sounds reasonable to me, I imagine it would be much easier to ship say, 50 units all to 1 country than trying to ship to 20 different countries at once.

Also likely much cheaper.
