Thanks so much for the help.
I sent you a tip.  I do not have much but I appreciate your help immensely.
 Smiley
I am so happy right now.
The whole unit is running so much better.


I cannot get it to connect at all.


I have had mine running on the one i built for the 110nm chip for a few days I did notice that running at Freq of 375 I got more HW errors but dropping down to 35 DRASTICALLY loweredmy error rate and with the new firmware i got a speed boost when running on CEX


If you want i will post the settings i run

If you want help i can help you do you have Teamviewer?

I wish I could have tipped more but last week I got scammed badly on here. 
Now I can mine it back.  Smiley

It's been nuts lately.  On I knew was a risk and a couple of us tried anyways.  The other was a trusted seller on here.  .09 gone to that one and .13 or so gone total.
I could have used that towards a miner I am .15 short to buy.  I would have been happy with their products.  Now I see a lost opportunity and lose a bit more faith in people.
Last night you helped rebuild that faith though.
Thanks again.

Hello. I'm kinda new to these mining and stuff. I've been using my Gaming GPU for mining and i can't say i'm making good money out of it. And lately i looked for mining products. I've seen products that work on 300-600 GH/s. So what i want to know is;

Can these miners work with scrypt mining programs, can i mine LTC and other altcoins?

After some research i found that most of the Butterfly Lab deliveries don't make it to the buyer so i turned to Avalon ASIC and a product named "Avalon2 – New 2U Size Machine" took my interest. It generates ~300 GH/s if i mine LTC with that the calculation sites say that i would earn approx 1000$/day ( considering these products works with scrypt ). Is that really possible? BTC pools gives 26$/day with that speed

And one more thing i couldn't understand is how does difficulty works. If i buy that machine will the difficulty ramp up because i have higher speeds or does difficulty applies to the general pool not depending on my hardware. Because i read somewhere that scrypt changes difficulty according to your mining speed ( considering these products works with scrypt ) so there won't be people earning too much money.

I don't wanna look like someone who doesn't work for something and just excepts the answers to just drop, because these questions are things i have to search ( and i did maybe not for a big extent ) but i wanna kno some specific things so i can understand what am i doing before going into all of these.

Thanks.

You have to stick to CPU and GPU mining if you want to mine LTC. PeerCoin and other atl-coins, I think MaxCoin, work with ASIC mining.

Help with a possible hardware issue....

[Firmware Version] => 20131110

Is there anything I can do? Some sort of visual check perhaps to verify the fault?

Noob I'm afraid, I can find my way around when it comes to software but a soldering iron is way beyond my skills.

Here you go, and given the bugfixes that went into 4.1.0, this might be one of the best firmwares ever, though it's completely untested.

What's the hardware issue? I see no fault and are you using an Avy clone or a Avalon 1, or a new 300GH/s Avalon 2?

Nothing wrong except 10 chips are not hashing Wink
It is hardware dude not software

It's an avalon Chinese copy, 55nm

1100W PSU

http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://detail.zol.com.cn/power/index367491.shtml&prev=/search%3Fq%3DGX1100m%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DtOS%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26channel%3Dfflb%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D920

As for the hardware issue Tom_o pointed me in the right direction already...

"1) Fuses blown on those modules (upper left of each submodule on the blade PCB, usually marked "FUSE1" or two fuses right next to each other with a "P" on them - see the btmine thread in Group Buy).
2)  Bad connection on the pits from the blade board atop the blade connecting to the 4 PCBs of 2 worker modules each (the pins could be bent or misaligned).
3)  Power supply marginal, such that only certain modules are getting enough current.

You can check 1) with a voltmeter (some resistance across fuse means it is blown, near-zero resistance means the fuse is fine)
You can check 2) via visual inspection
You can check 3) but putting in a known-to-be-beefier power supply and seeing how it goes

Personally, I'd go with #1, but that's only because that's what I experienced with my own Avalon clone.

Hope this helps!   And good luck!"

I've checked the thread and btmine had posted a picture of the fuse location so thats where I'm going to start...

http://www.imagebam.com/image/f71c0d303222836

Ineterested to know if anyone else has managed to fix the possible fuse issue? especially where to get the fuses from.

I'm useless with a soldering iron, tempted just to live with it.

Check your cables. I am using the the newer firmware on my AVY1's and the HW% is lower than before.
