hey,
i have this minning devices it should have 30 mh , it is definitely from china, it have minera (raspbery pi) and it don't detect any device connected (cgminer and all included soft)
here is lsusb and list of /dev

hello,

need a bit more info on your miner.. Is that a zues miner?  according to the logs its appears that minera is trying to load the zues drivers. Also at a frequency im not familiar with on those miners.. If its the newer zues then it would be around 240 mhz  but if its the older models then its somewhere starting at around 280 mhz if i recall correctly and i think my zues thunder ran at 328 mhz. That miner looks to be an a2 or something of that nature.  Let me know what your working with.
Check this page out since i believe its an a2 model.. maybe is that minera doesnt support that machine  http://zoomhash.com/pages/a2-and-mini-a2-software-setup

Best Regards

also in looking further through your logs.. I see your are trying to mine on slush pool
ERROR - 2015-09-09 14:09:30 --> stdClass::__set_state(array(
   'STATUS' =>
  array (
    0 =>
    stdClass::__set_state(array(
       'STATUS' => 'S',
       'When' => 1441800570,
       'Code' => 55,
       'Msg' => 'Added pool \'stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333\'',
       'Description' => 'cgminer 4.3.5-scrypt.2',
    )),

If that is indeed a scrypt miner you cannot mine on slush pool.. Try litecoinpool.org for your first pool. 

Get it mining litecoin first before you fight mining on ghash multipool..

Best Regards

Hi,

d57heinz is certainly right, this looks a lot like a dragon 30Mh/s scrypt miner with B2 chips.
The 4 blades of the miner seem to be recognized properly in your system (/dev/ttyUSB0-3) and its probably only a matter of letting it hash against a scrypt pool like litecoinpool.org as d57heinz proposed.

An update:
Maybe this will give you a clue:
Before Minera, we were using Minepeon. We were able to access it via https://192.168.1.11 (login: minepeon password: peon) but we could not get our miner up and running because both bgfminer and cgminer were unable to find devices.
The index page of https://192.168.1.11 (Minepeon) was displaying "No devices running".
This is what we get after login to minepeon via ssh:
minepeon / # dmesg | tail

Code:

The problem is that both bfgminer and cgminer were unable to find devices:
Minepeon - bfgminer

We have tried to manually add devices for both bfgminer and cgminer but without any luck. Maybe it's something to do with the drivers for USB-Serial Controller as it's status is inactive and I can confirm that all cables are plugged in to motherboard etc:

Any advice?
Thanks,

Looks more like one of the Silverfish Scrypt miners to me, but the pics aren't super clear and I never bothered buying any of the Zeus stuff (it was overpriced and BAD efficiency) or the Silverfish (ditto) - IIRC neither was much more efficient than the Gridseed GC3355 based junk I wanted to replace....

If silverfish he needs to use the windows program.   It does detect it and loads a valid license letting it run.  It called home to make sure it was still valid.

But since they quit making it they did make a patch to make silverfish still work.  So you might need to do this.

Let us know what miner.

[dawidzet]

we don't know what miner really is...

[dawidzet]

hey, thank you for you reply, i installed your firmware on sdcard, it started, i configured it but when i try to use cgminner it crashed, when i write cgminner -n it show 8 devices detected , none of it was known...
