Out of the box, Im not sure if minpeon will run the GS asics ... I know it wont for the gblades. I had to essentially download the cgminer 3.7.2 source that supports gblade, compile it and make a service thats similar to the built in cgminer.service etc...
Also, I dont use the webgui's they are worthless. I set up and use miner.php which is in the http folder, that way I can monitor all my rigs. Also, for stable USB operation there are a few items you want to add to /boot/cmdline.txt :
dwc_otg.fiq_enable=1 dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_enable=1 dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_mask=0x3

To my current SHA256 renter, none of ur pools are working!
I notice u are trying to connect to one of ur pools on port 7060, I dont see that port listed on the pools website!
update:
Now ur putting in a bunch of dead pools and causing miner stability issues. =/

To my current renters. Last night, comcast had intermittent connectivity issues for many users for a couple hour. So, your rigs were intermittently submitting shares, equaling about 2/3rds their normal hashrate.
So, Ive compensated for the other 1/3rd, all leases extended for 60mins.

hey, whats going on w/ the pool?! my miner says both both servers are down =(
|
|
|
|
Different pools only reports ~ 13-15 Mh/s, i have also 40 Mh/s all in GPUs and the hashrate reported by the pools is pretty accurate with them...
EDIT : What about the HW errors, what's the "normal" rate ?
Nominal HW rate is 2% and below. Anything above is a negative return. |

Hi there ! i think there's a problem on my 4 x G-Blades, dunno if it's the diff @512, or cgminer itself (i wanna change to cpuminer 1.0b, but it's not really compatible with Betarigs, since cpuminer and cgminer don't shows dead/alive pools the same way), or anything else  ... I'm using a 80+ silver PSU, FSP brand, Win 7 x64.  (click here if image isn't showing)Um.... what do you think the problem is? All looks normal to me... |

I could do that, responded to ur PM... awaiting response.

BUMP!

I put a small heatsink on the backside of the board, right behind the DC powerjack .. over the area where the hottest ferrite beads are. They seemed to have cool down significantly, so has the general area of the board where the small heatsink is at.
Also, Im waiting for someone to try the vdroop mod =P ... not knowing much about PCB's, I dont know if it would have adverse affects or kill something =/
If I knew, Id be the first to try it =P
Small update on my bridge mod for 2x gblades ... 913mhz @ .35% HW overnight , avg hasrhate 12.36mh
I know that if we could address the vdroop problem, if all chips saw 1.3v ... hashrate would be decently higher, w/o much additional load on the VRM's ...

oh! mine has the newer AQ6 vrm as well, wonder if the FB's are gone on mine... lets see...
hrm... I dont show a 0 on top of mine, just blank... guessing they are still FB's then...
I have little tiny 6x6mm heatsinks, could I put them on the FB's safely?
Or would it risk shorting the contact points on the FB's?
Im wondering, could I just short the tops of the ferrite beads ... to achieve same thing as removing & shorting the pads?
Do you have CSD 17556 for the other ones too or still the old IRFH ones? Hrm... dont recall, they are under heatsinks now =/ |

ive done direct wiring on motherboards to fix vdroop and stabilise memory. So in theory, your idea could work.
Anyone up to test it ?
Remember to remove the 2 ferrite beads, and replace them with thick solder. Otherwise you will damage your blade.
Why do they have to be removed? just curious. Mine seem to be running warm, but not scorchingly hot. Also, I would like a pic of the ones being talked about. The hottest ones seem to be next to the side of the DC jack. Do they just overheat? if so, couldnt putting little heatsinks on them / backside help? Do they have to be removed when just doing the bridge mod? BTW, update, over the course of 11hrs, the bridge mod is going well.... I have them at 875mhz , .04% HW rate! |

So, I pulled off the bridge mod w/ a tube of electric paint from RS for 8$ ....
Did it on 2x Gblades
Results are 875mhz ... 3 HW in 40mins @ vardiff 256 ... total between the 2 gblades
I would think thats a decent HW rate, less than .2% or so...
The next thing I would like to figure out is a way to overcome the insane voltage drop measured from the first yellow SM cap( in the VRM area) to the second SM cap(in the ASIC area).
On both my gblades there is a drop of .05v between these 2 sections alone.
The drop from the 2nd SM cap to the 4th SM cap(last one in ASIC area) is not nearly as high a drop.
Im wondering, for any of u electronics gurus out there, would soldering a 20 AWG wire from the - / + of the first yellow SM cap in VRM area to the respective legs on the 3rd SM camp(in middle of ASIC area), provide a more stable current flow between the sections of the blade? ... hence resulting in less voltage loss?
Ive seen a mod similar to this performed on avalon gen1 modules. It helped significantly.
Also, Im gonna guestimate that this is why we cant get the same clocks @ same voltages compared to the pods(@ same HW rate).
I highly doubt the pods would have this crazy voltage drop due to their size and layout and small # of chips.
If anyone could chime in on this that would be wonderful! Im dying to try it but I dont wanna destroy my blade....

Question for yall, if I buy just a avalon3 module .. can I run it on just an ATX psu & rpi as controller?
I dont need the rackmount case right?
Im confused cuz I dont see where the power plugs into he module....
Also, anyone purchase from ehash.com? (avalons supposed direct store)

Please PM or post ur id
Cost:
S2 ... .3btc - value of $400
S1 ... .02btc - value of .05btc

I absolutely hate hearing this argument over and over.
Once I did the calculations on how much roughly the ATMs, in the USA alone, use more power 24/7 then the entire Bitcoin network. It was nearly 2x the amount of power.
Talk about a wasteful infrastructure!
Bitcoin is the least of our concerns.
The benefits gained w/ a system like Bitcoin largely outweigh its power footprint.

There gonna be another batch w/ chips?
I am confused, why is it still for sale on ur site if cant get board + chips anymore?
Or is both chips + board assembled still avail for purchase @ 1100...

5 years is a long fucking time... .any chance you will offer shorter contracts .... ya know, in case you guys just vanish w/ all our Bitcoin?!

Just a heads up for the current renter, had some USB issues and was tryin to get rpi to host again. Think I got it now, but double check ur pools, for some reason one of them was dead and I rebuilt ur pool list / credentials from my other controlling PC. Please check ASAP and get back to me if something is wrong I emailed you. Thus far I have extended ur lease for the downtime in switching out controllers etc...

Also, remember this, sales like these is an obvious precursor of things to come =)
