When I try to ssh into my S5 and it asks for the password I input it, but it says access denied.  I know the password is correct, I log into the gui just fine with it.  Any idea why I can't ssh in successfully?

Fun stuff!  If I can figure why my Avalon6 keeps resetting its hash rate I will point it here for the day.

Looks like the pool is back to ~50TH, I guess changing the thread title was a bit early...

It looks like this pool and http://www.bcmonster.com/index.php use the same web interface, is it something generic or did one of you borrow it from the other?

So when I ssh to the device it asks for the password, which I input and it tells me "Permission denied".  What's up with that?  I know it's the correct password because I log into the gui  with it just fine.  Hmm...

I can later tonight when I get home, to me everything looks "normal" in the cgminer gui.  The drop in hash rate is not visible there because it doesn't have a 5s hash field, but I watch it in real time in Crytoglance and as the fan dies down so does the hash rate.

This is what sounds like is happening to me, maybe it's a temp. thing since I had the fan trying to exhaust out my dryer duct maybe the hot air wasn't getting out fast enough.  I'll try a different config. tonight and report back.

I am using two 850watt OCZ psus, one one each blade.  I am correct in assuming that two pci-e plugs on the right are one blade, and two on the left are the other, right?  That's how I have the psu's plugged in.  I don't think what I'm seeing is a power issue, though.  Doesn't seem to be overheating either.  I will play around with it again tonight, but I would really like to figure out why it doesn't stay hashing, could something have been damaged in transit?

Well now I can withdraw at some point in the future for no fee.

Got another 2 months to earn that 3% still before it drops.

I posted to that thread, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1257327.msg14212342#msg14212342, I am having issues with my A6, it appears to be restarting hashing every couple minutes.  Thanks in advance for the help.

It can stay stuck at $415 for as long as it wants as far as I'm concerned, it was stuck at $215 for too long!

I am kind of excited for the halving to get here, I think it's going to kill off a lot of the big farms, we might just see home mining become viable again.  If not this halving then almost certainly the one following, unless btc price goes to the moon.

Red blocks should be expected from time to time, did you think there were technical problems during the runs of green blocks?

Luck and variance, variance and luck.

Or people stopped eating chicken.

So.... got the picture showing a block solve on the compac stick?  It's quite a claim to make and then let a week go by without supporting evidence.

If you're looking to place a spread bet check out OKC vs. BOS, I don't think that game is going to be as close as the odds makers are stating, looks like money can be made there.

I got my Avalon 6 from the group buy up and running, pict here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7216.msg14212317#msg14212317.  The factory fan is crazy how it cycles, so I set it to 40% and that made it more tolerable (it's running in the laundry room in my house).

So this keeps happening: the light on the front of the A6 flashed red, the fan slowed way down, and the wattage at the wall went from 1000+ down to 90, and the 5s reported hash dropped to almost 0, then like it was restarted it goes right back to normal operations - fan comes back up and so does wattage and hash.  The uptime doesn't reset, so it's not really a restart, but like a cgminer restart almost or something.  Input voltage is solid 12.0v+.  Any idea what that's all about?

Otherwise hashes along at ~3.0-3.7TH between resets (should it be constantly at like 3.7?  why does it go as low as 3.0?), but I have stopped mining with it until I find out why it is doing this.

My Avalon 6 in the same spot, using two 850w OCZ psus, one on each blade.  Solo mining at the moment, 3.7TH of awesomeness. 

Cool and congrats!  My A6 is waiting for me at home, I'm going to play around with it tonight.  That means I need to shut off my S5, I need to use its psu for one of the A6 blades, but I'll be back shortly!

Try populating each pci-e plug with its own power cable, sometimes there are issues with only using one per board.

I use bitcoin core at home for a full node and wallet, and I use bitcoin wallet on my phone (does not rely on 3rd party servers or systems).  Keep bitcoin decentralized and only rely on yourself for keeping your wallet maintained!  You'll learn more that way, too.

Buy more miners, plug them in, and point them here!  Only thing you can do to increase your chances/frequency of block solving is to add more hash.

Mine was dropped off just before I left for the morning.  Unfortunately it looks like my box took quite a hit in transit, luckily it's double boxed with lots of space in between filled with peanuts.



I unpacked everything and the miner and the pi seem to be undamaged, I will know for sure tonight when I set them up to test.  I have two questions:

1) Are there set up instructions anywhere for this unit?  I'm sure they're easy to find, I just haven't had time to search.

2) Could I buy one of those fans from you, Phil?

Thanks again!

I just bought an Avalon6 instead of an S7 because not only their support of cgminer, but their support of the bitcoin network as a whole.  I'm going to host the A6 and point it and/or my S5 here again soon, I miss all the block notifications on my phone.

The first five words at https://bitcoinclassic.com/ is "We are hard forking bitcoin", that looks pretty clearly like a fork attempt to me.

I do not agree their goal is improvement, I think that is a byproduct, a way to entice people over to their fork and seize development control.

There was a statement in the faq on the xt site (that probably exists somewhere on the classic site, too) that gave all dispute resolution powers to 2 developers - hardly what I would call decentralized.  I don't trust people with agenda like that.
