1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I'm very disappointed with myself. on: February 21, 2018, 10:39:47 PM
Smiley .  I'm a great software developer with self-certified genius mindset. I accidentally bought 2 BTC few years ago and saw myself over the moon last December when it got to $20k per coin.   And after the new year price crash, I decided to create a trading bot to make a living out of it.  After 1 week of burns of genius brain cells, I invented my own trading bot, making me $$$ loss every few minutes - and I still believed it, and kept refining my dear bot.  After a few days of playing & crying & coding & testing & playing & crying & keep believing,  my dear 2 coins became 1.

And this Monday, it dipped to 0.97 BTC. And I still believe in it. Yesterday I finally see my bot started trading with profits just before people start crazily selling off when BTC was reaching $12k...  And my bot alerted me bear is coming, "better hold" -- right after it sold my mere remaining 0.97 BTC.

My bot finally bought me back 0.98 BTC just literally 5 minutes ago.  What I say?  I still believe in it....   After all, before BTC really goes into everyone's daily life as a real daily use currency, it lives in people's belief!

Come on  Smiley  Give you self a smile.

cheers toptekk

after all that searches here comes the Hashra firmware (latest version I can find but can still be updated once more after installed) , I've uploaded to Dropbox here:  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/95228916/HASHRA%20Guides%20and%20Firmware.zip


No more searches on this Hashra firmware as I found working on Minera with custom built bfgminer works better than the original firmware.

With Antminer S3 now I'm officially a bitcoin beginner.   Grin

Cheers



Maybe these Links will help you some .

If I still had one of the hashra images i would post it BTW they only work on the Rasp pi b or lower and don't work on the + or 2 model and were never updated for those models encase you find one and it does not  work that might be why.


Just found this

Thanks quakefiend420,

Didn't go down that route but I guess it will definitely work if I followed your advice -- the bfgminer I compiled using Zeus github/darkwinde worked perfect so I guess it will be the same if using zeus controller.

cheers.

thanks dogie,

I have successfully connected it to a PSU that I use for Antminer S3 - the fans are pretty noisy but yes it is an ASIC Scrypt Miner

it is Hashra Lunar Lander  since the seller confirmed it has 14+ Mhs so I guess it is Warp 1 (their product name)?

No cgminer or bfgminer currently work on this brick at the moment but I found from this forum that they are using zeus chips so now I'm digging into compiling a bfgminer from zeus github....  hopefully that'll work (still not sure how many chips, allowed frequency range etc. details..) 

It seemed to be powered by pi controller - I have one at my hand but if anyone have their working firmware available please.... send me a copy (I found one PDF here mentioning their firmware on raspberry pi    https://mega.co.nz/#!qkZFnaoI!dqhkPQLNdVhHSQdCOe_mlBzjeZUPo0gmahDyJlM7No8 )

Thanks...

I'm a newbie and just got a Hashra miner along with a few others from Bitmains - the Hashra one was bought from eBay purely because I thought it looked nice (yep idiot me)

It appears their website now longer at service and there's no way to find their supporting team, firmware updates, etc. etc.

They appear to be registered in the UK (I'm in the UK)

Their record and registered office seems to be fraudulent (can't confirm this but: http://interfraud.org/ni_british_connection.htm)

I actually don't care whether they went bust or directors gone jail, is there anywhere/support for their legacy hardware (which seems all working miners)?


========04/04/2015 update========
I've finally got it up and running - I ended up using Minera image with a custom built bfgminer which is fantastic. The Hashra miner now runs at 14Mhs at Ghash's multi-pool  (have been several hours now and haven't got a payout yet)

Now the problem is that bfgminer shows HW 7.3% and Rejects 4.5%, however the Minera UI shows HW 4.3% and Rejects 6.83% which doesn't match up -- and even matching up, the results aren't good.  I also bought 4 Antminer S3 at the same and the HW & Rejects on those were so few that I can simply consider it as 0% HW and 0% Rejects...  I have no idea maybe I still have something wrongly configured on the Minera/Hashra miner, but really fed up playing with this thing now.  Will leave it running for a few days then decides it's fate if it loses more money.Anyone if you experience similar before or think it might be my configuration issue please give me a hint...

-------FOR WHO'S ALSO NEWBIE AND TRYING TO FIND HOW TO SETUP (Hashra Lunar Lander Warp1 -- but I guess you can play with the parameters for different versions as long as they are Zeus chips)

The last change log I have on my paper that made it work is:

1) Use latest Minera image downloaded from Minera website
2) Updated and upgraded raspberry pi,  and installed gcc 4.9 on the pi for compilation
3) Ran the retuild miner script provided under /var/www/minera to rebuild the miner software with the latest
4) mkdir at /var/www/minera/minera-d/custom for a new clone of latest Darkwinde bfgminer from  https://github.com/Darkwinde/bfgminer
5) compile ( no need for additional options because this bfgminer is specific for Zeus miners )
6) copy the new executable and rename to /var/www/minera/minera-d/custom/bfgminer-darkwinde
7) in Minera settings choose this new custom build, and in the mannual options section use:   --set zus:chips=64 --set zus:clock=328 --set zus:ignore_golden_nonce=1 --scrypt  -S zus:/dev/ttyUSB0 (Note play with it for your verion)  

--- the PDF I got for Hashra was that it uses 128 chips, however when I set zus:chips=128 it worked but the Minera statistics doubled the hashrate which was amazing but totally wrong so I set it to 64 in case I was reading the wrong Hashra manual -- it worked at 14+ Mhs so I guess I was right

Hopefully the setup guide above helps for any other newbies like me entering the bitcoin/altcoin world....


[Conclusion]
The Hashra miner cost me over 14 hours to set up, which could worth many years of mining bitcoin returns if considering it as my professional working hours!  no mention the frustrations of compiling different versions of miner software plus configuration - and failing results.

Best advice whoever reading this and have a second-hand (or new) no-more-supported Hashra - use the guide above if you are IT ninja like me, or throw it as I guess there's no point to see how it loses your money after joy of setting it up....
