So I find that maybe once every 12-48 hours cgminer (on Linux on a Pi) stops mining on my bitburner.  The device still shows in the list, but it shows 0 hashes/sec and the output shows a stream of:

Code:

Restarting cgminer makes it work again.

Any ideas on the cause or solution?

(I'm running firmware 1.0.2.)

Which cgminer version and what settings?

Maybe it was a pool connection problem?

What did the log show for a few pages before that started?

Here's a cap of my main rig with the BTB:

Elapsed is ~1.8 days, but that's only coz I often restart my main rig when I make code changes to any cgminer code ...

[Bogart]

Which cgminer version and what settings?

3.4.2.

/home/pi/bin/cgminer/cgminer --avalon-auto --avalon-freq 350-450 --avalon-options 115200:2:10:d:350 --failover-only --api-listen --api-allow W:192.168.23.0/24

...followed by -o/-u/-p for 3 pools.

Maybe it was a pool connection problem?

Seems unlikely.  It would/should have failed over to a backup pool, and restarting cgminer fixed it right away this time (last time I power-cycled the bitburner and that also fixed it right away).  Also my other miners on the same pools were working.

What did the log show for a few pages before that started?

I wasn't watching it.  Is there an easy way to send the output to a logfile?

Also --failover-only means that if the stratum pool says it is still connected but it isn't providing work properly you may indeed not get work to give to the BTB
I'm not sure why that can happen, but I've seen it on a stratum pool that was having trouble but not losing the connection

Oh I just checked, my previous was Runtime: 71 hrs : 36 mins : 16 secs

Here is a simple script to put in cron.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
if pgrep cgminer > /dev/null 
then
	logger "cgminer up"
else
	logger "** cgminer down"
	logger "** Starting cgminer"
	screen -dmS cgminer /home/cgminer/cgstart.ksh

Transfers of whole orders are possible.

I have had orders transferred to my account with additional information. However the majority of info is now wrong (on asic-hardware.com). Most importantly the shipping address. I have contacted Cryptx, to no avail. Please advise how to handle this.

Put in a "killall screen" will end the process.

To be fair I got a quick answer on my second email. Turns out however that changes (i.e. shipping address) to orders are to be done by burnin. Just leaving this here for general info.

Mine crashes like every 30 hrs or so. I just make sure to restart cgminer every morning when I grab my coffee. It doesn't matter if it's one burnin miner or 32 plugged into the system. I just figured it wasn't much of a hassle so I didn't bother posting this.
