cgminer is unable to get a response from a pool, so it shuts down.
check your firewall.
or add more backup pools

Hi All.
My Avalon 4 Module has been working fine, over-clocked at 350 (on OEM PSU) and suddenly not working anymore.
I can access Luci via Wifi and have re-started, rebooted and power-cycled to no avail.
When I look at the Cgminer API Log I see: [Firmware Version] => 20131229 cgminer: 698d677 cgminer-openwrt-packages: aadd747+ luci: 346e3e7+ Socket connect failed: Connection refused
I have the API Allow set to W:127.0.0.1 I have been able to Ping and Traceroute.
I cannot figure what the heck I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance!
I would also confirm your miners IP address is setup correctly. Granted it worked before you should still confirm the gateway it still pointing to the same gateway your other miners or computers use on the network.

12v 1.5A. You might be able to 3Amp fan in but the more amperage the fan is the more stress you put on the power supply.

Thanks for the pointers to the firewall. The crazy thing is that I turned it off for a day and then started it up, connecting without a hitch. I am running behind a airport extreme and express to extend. C'est la vie. Cheers, Hi All.

Please forgive me, I've searched and can't find this info in the thread, so I apologize if I missed it...
I'm solo-mining on my Avalon chip-based rigs and they seem to be using getwork and not GBT.
In the "More Options(Default: --quiet)" field I've tried the trio of "--quiet --no-getwork --no-stratum" and then it won't start hashing at all.
So, when solo mining, I'm getting about 1850 Getworks per minute and about 185 Getwork Fails (10% seems like a non-random number)...
Some system stats: Firmware-20131110, cgminer-3.4.3, 16x55nm chips, about 200gh/s total per unit

My impression is that you must use stratum to get an Avalon to mine. I pulled a version of eloipool and modified it to work with an alt coin, and my Batch #2 Avalon did mine 1 block with it. This was just proof of concept and curiosity, not a production mining configuration.

I've been tinkering and messing with settings but don't want to stray too far from what's working well for me.

As far as i know we can mine 4 Alt coins + BTC Posting your configs + modes will be enough or patch Thank you

ProfMac, Will you share how you did it? Soon i plan to move al my avalons to solo before switching them off. As far as i know we can mine 4 Alt coins + BTC Posting your configs + modes will be enough or patch Thank you I'm working on a script that will pull the eloipool git, and apt-get install the support libraries for a Ubuntu VM. It's not ready to release yet. I anticipate that all the Avalons will mine alt coins sometime soon. There is one pool + exchange that is implementing auto switching to the most profitable alt coin. They are having trouble with the fast ASICs at the moment, but they are actively working on a fix. This is http://www.coinex.pw for worker registration, and stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9944 for the pool address. I'm mining BTE on it with one of my Avalons. Even during beta, their switched pool has 5 TH/s. Even with an Avalon, I think solo mining is a thing of the past.

And you can wait safely for the jackpot However i am about to do it solo. That is what i was asking. There are a plenty of good tutorials how to setup eloipool. The interesting part is pool config and most interesting is merged mining proxy support for all alt coins

Have 4 Avalon 2 BTMiner setups so basically knock off 55nm setups. The 703N is failing in one of them but at least from the markings I've seen in most threads it is a knock off unit. No TP-Link logo on the bottom side. Basically if you try to access it from time to time via web interface it becomes unresponsive and you have to power cycle the unit.
Is there any options beside the 703N? Something like the WR3020 or something of that nature. I originally had them all connected via USB to my linux box but went back to the TP-Link solution.
Thanks for any suggestions.

The interesting part is pool config and most interesting is merged mining proxy support for all alt coins I did set up a virtual machine, made the Bytecoin client, and unpacked a zip file that someone on the forums sent me. I went through the tutorial from a thread here on bitcointalk and also the diff files between bitcoin and bytecoin sources, and made the changes to the init file. My impression at the moment is that the git that I am working with is a solo mining version that is hard wired to 1 coin. The block payout address is hardwired into the initialization source. This is my first Python project, and so far I do not have a good understanding of the source. I'm willing to forward the zip file to you. I don't know enough about git to know if is a useful too to just deposits diffs or otherwise help with this effort.

I am damn sure that it is a pice of cake for him. So I propose if you want to open a thread with a bounty for him or someone else who can write tutorial. I hate that word though. We need btc + 4 alt coins I do not have time to moderate / collect in such a thread that will be best approach in my point of view What do you think? Besides all we know that a single mistake in the setup can cost a lot what about you Luke? Are you going to do it?

I actually let Luke-Jr have a SSH login to my TP-503n router before my Avalon arrived, and moved that login to my Avalon once it did arrived. I decided not to approach him about this project because he is pretty outspoken against alt coins. However, the bounty idea is not a bad one. I had forgotten that.

I don't think it's worth your time to bother with the scamcoins: remember you need to maintain a working full node for them, and IIRC the ones with merged mining are all buggy and a pain to keep running (besides namecoin, anyway). That being said, if you guys want to setup a bounty on something, I will of course consider it.
Unrelated note: I still don't have an Avalon myself to work with, so if anyone is planning to get rid of theirs, please let me know...

Thanks Luke! Guy's what about to collect some bounty and have how to from an expert? We can skip scam coins if we like of course

I have copied your SSH public key to an Avalon that I bought recently. This is a Batch #1 unit. I also have a Batch #2 unit available. You should be able to ssh into root@vima.austin.tx.us:1701 I generally try to keep this unit mining. It is touch & go whether it will pay for itself. However, if it will help you, please feel free to use it for testing.

I want to end up with (a) shell script(s) that can start with a fully standard newly installed & updated Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) that has bytecoind built & installed, 1. do apt-get install <list of necessary stuff for eloipool> 2. git an eloipool distribution 3. perform any necessary localizations and have bytecoin mine to that eloipool installation. I am aware of the eloipool installation thread, but I still have some learning curve and have not been successful getting it to work. I don't know whether I am an hour or a month away from reconciling the working system that I have, and the differences between it and the forum thread's procedure. I can provide access to a VirtualBox installation of Ubuntu with bytecoind if that will be helpful. I have a 2nd VM with a working eloipool + bytecoin, but this was the result of unzipping a file sent by a forum member, and I want to have a process that goes to official sources. What sort of bounty would interest you in this?
