HellDiver, I don't suppose you remember the slush startup command line for p2pool can you? I can't find an example anywhere my man. I seem to remember having to change something on the cube webface too - but my brain fade has got the better of me today......
If you do a mining_proxy.py --help that'll bring up the commands available. I'm using screen -dmS proxy mining_proxy.py -o <pool host IP> -p <pool port> -gp <getwork port for your Cube> -cu <your payout address> -cp x -qThat spawns the proxy on it's own screen, and allows your miners to connect with any username, and the proxy will submit the shares to your p2pool node with your payout address. You'll want to change the -gp port to something different to p2pool's port (say 8330).

Yeah, that's what I tried earlier, plus a number of variations too - I just can't get it to click, sure it's something stupid I'm missing. Did you make any changes to the cube webface at all? Thanks for the ideas by the way, it's appreciated - I hate seeing a third of my work going to waste with this proxy.....

Greetings. I too have an antminer that is throwing a high rate of errors and I'm having problems with downclocking a single antminer. When I run the device list, I see all of them listed as \\.\COM(NUM). of course this doesn't help when you have more than one as you don't know which is which. but i deduced it was COM54. when I run bfgminer with the --set-device for that path, it seems a random antminer will be downclocked. never seems to be the same one nor the problem antminer.
The U1 may support sending it an identify command so that its LED lights up. I'll have to look into it. On my side I was able to identify the com port by removing all except one. Then, run the command, so I know which it is. It seems Windows assign a port to a specific usb port.

As I mentioned, I was able to find out the COM number for the one that was causing all the errors and it was by doing the exact same thing. Unfortunately, when I ran the command specified to downclock the misbehaving antminer, one antminer would be downclocked and one would still be throwing errors. haven't had time to go through the entire process again to see if it's the exact same one or a different one throwing the errors. just an annoyance for me, and i don't fault the programmers for this, is that it seems the detection of the devices is random so for example, COM5 may be ANT0 when you run it one time, but another time COM5 may be ANT5. seems to be no rhyme or reason.

BFG allocates the slots on first started, first in, so it is different each time you start. one of my miners was throwing a lot of errors, I re arranged them into different slots, I found one of the slots on my hub was weak.(left that one empty) moved it to another hub and now, zero errors. (not hashing any faster tho.)

This is likely the cause. Note that ASIC manufacturers have the option to have their devices return a unique serial number. The serial number is returned along with the path when you use the -d? argument. This can also be used with the --scan and --set-device commands to target a specific device and is more reliable as it doesn't change with COM ports etc. However the AntMiner U1 does not return a serial number so it cannot be used in this case

Hi, is there anyway to overclock Usb block erupter (icarus), like is possibile with cgminer [1]?
No, because it's not possible unless you change a component on the board.

My erupter is atm mining emark @ 664 Mh/s: of course I did not changed any component on the board. If you read the link above, you will get the "trick" to overclock it (changing some timing parameter).

Actually it isn't - it's just a "trick" which makes cgminer's bugged interface report a faster speed than it's actually mining. But, hey, knock yourself out if you think you're getting more speed than is physically possible.

does anyone else get a problem with their ant miner u1 i get 0.5/0.7/2.0 gh/s out of my ant miner with bfg with cgminer 3.8.5 i get a steady 1.9 - 2.3 gh/s and i have the pool confirm that it seems like ant miners aren't working properly because if i use cgminer 3.100 (newest version) i get the same 700 or 800 mhs so it might be a problem with bfgminer and how it takes the miner if anyone has gotten it to work with BE's in same hub and same program (not 2 instances) with bfgminer then please pm me also i am using the bfgmienr-ant program please and thank you

Uhm, so is some sort of joke... I should have to do some real test with the number share =) Thanks a lot for the real quick reply: I will come back to bfgminer after it.

I'm currently on version 2 of the BFG Miner that supports Antminer. Do you have a link to the version 3 because I must have missed that one? Btw, currently at 13~11% HW right now when clocked to 0881 with BFG Miner. I think I need to move then U1's further apart on the hub.
