Gridseed blade error

[Sir William]

   I'm getting the following error on a gridseed blade.  "Error 111 connecting to 127.0.0.1:6379. Connection refused."  Any idea how to fix this???

provide more info;  such as blade model/type, configuration and version of what miner you are running.

This will help you get a better answer from me than this one.

Thanks for replying.  I'll answer what I can?  I bought this second hand.  This is a dual blade model.  Was there more than the single and dual blade gridseeds?  I am not aware of any, but that doesn't mean much.  I have a 500 watt PS (I'll have to check the brand/quality, when I get home), it is the only item plugged into it.  I'm using the latest BFGMiner.  The batch file I'm using to run it is below:

Code:

bfgminer --scrypt -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=825 -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333/#xnsub/#skipcbcheck -u (wallet address) -p 1
::pause

One thing of note, that I just thought of.  I am on WiFi.  I have no choice but to run on WiFi, as my roommate won't let me run an ethernet cable.  I usually don't have dropouts, but do occasionally.  I could browse the internet, at the time, but it was slow.  Could this explain the error?  I've been running this rig for a few months without difficulty, until now.

check ebay;  there's a few different blade configs.  some came out of larger machines with multiple blades.


Try without the /# commands on the stratum port.


I always used:   stratum+tc....com:4444#xnsub on my antminers;  never a / before the #.   I did not know about the second # tag; just leave them both out for now and no slash after URL/port.


FYI, if you have good cooling and a good power supply;  I ran my orbs and blades at 1000Mhz stable.  I just used MinerA on a Pi to control them and it would auto-reboot if a miner went dead.   The LightningAsic rom for the Wiibox also had this feature, and an auto-overclock feature.
