[Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service

[SebastianJu]

I have a problem i dont find the reason for. I mine at bitparking.com and it worked fine for weeks. But the last days it happens that after some time of mining normally the hashrate breaks. Its running at 50% then or even at 25%. The temperature is lower then too. And the status says idled miner...

When i restart cgminer then it runs normally again for a while. So i doubt its the pools fault.

I tried different scan time settings and different queue but i dont see that there is an effect. I restarted rpi too.

What can the problem be? I dont find it. I mean i ran them without problems before.

I had a similar phenomenon with my bitfurys on slushs, since I restart the stratum-proxy every hour everything is ok. In your case I suppose it would mean a restart of the miner (including probable loss of the current workload).

I had cgminer restart again and again but the problem reappeared. Now i restarted everything again, rpi, miner, cgminer and so on and it runs since a day now again without problems. Dont know what the problem was...

Has anybody heard anything about the building of the bitburner's from sebastian's group buy that got delivered a few days ago, I'm sure i read somewhere that burnin was waiting in line for the machine but apparently he got a slot the other evening.

So why haven't we heard anything or accounts changed on his website or the new asic one from processing? I know he is busy with other things but we paid for products before bitfury.

Hello,
I'm running cgminer3.4.3 on windows.
I have 24 bitburners XX and 1 X, total 25 boards and 490 chips.

I try to run with the options:
 --avalon-options 115200:49:10:d:300 --bitburner-voltage 1290 --avalon-temp 55 --avalon-cutoff 65 --avalon-fan 80 --queue 4
And cgminer just closes with no error no nothing outputted (nothing also on a cmd line)

But running:
 --bitburner-voltage 1290 --avalon-temp 55 --avalon-cutoff 65 --avalon-fan 80 --queue 4
It mines ok, no problems whatsoever.

What am i doing wrong?

Burnin told me by phone that when hes lucky the bitburner are ready on wednesday and he could start shipping them. Of course only when the assembler works fast.
Burnin said he was lucky anyway. He brought the chips to the assembler and because they had built a sample bitfury before they didnt have to change the machine much and could start assembling the bitburners then. I believe a previous batch had to wait 1 or 2 weeks until the machine had some time.

Hello,
I'm running cgminer3.4.3 on windows.
I have 24 bitburners XX and 1 X, total 25 boards and 490 chips.

I was curious about the X - should it count as one miner or two?  The instructions say that every board counts as two miners, but I agree it would make sense if that only applied to the XX.

Tried 49 and 50, same thing happened.
At the beggining i was a bit lost, they weren't recognized, after googling a bit i found i had to install a driver, i ran Zadig and installed winUSB driver.

Was that the correct one?

I think your voltage is a bit high. Try lowering imo. I'm running at 400Mhz with 1230 voltage. At 300Mhz i think you are fine with 1200.

Im running 450mhz fine on 1334mV and 28ms Timeout. It translates to 8.8GH per bbxx and 53°C.

@AniceInnovation... You have your avalon-options wrong. The 49 should be 20 and the 10 is the amount of miners you connected via this one usb cable x 2. In my case i have 5 miners on one usbcable i use 10 there. So 20:10:28:450...

By the way... you cant put 49 miners together on one usb-cable. You only can connect 16 miners with one stacking cable. More miners have to be on a own stacking cable with another usb-cable.

Kano did a post here in thread on first of this month were he explains how to access miners explicitely. So that you can run one cgminer for 3 x 16 miners + 1 miner. For one time 16 miners stacked you would use 20:32:28:450 for example. And it doesnt matter if one miner has only 10 chips. Its treated like it has 20 in avalon options.

Does anyone still need a Bitburner XX order?
I have ordered boards for a total of 80 Avalon chips.

Order: #326
1x CAN-BUS Stacking Cable DIY Kit  4.76 €
4x BitBurner XX Module with attached heat-sink  499.80 €
Sales Tax (19%) and shipping (8.33 €) to Germany is included.
Total: 512.89 €
Order was paid using SEPA-Transfer.

You can pay with SEPA or BTC (Bitstamp daily avg / ECB reference rate for USD/EUR)
Escrow is possible (e.g. SebastianJu).
Please send reasonable offers via PM

Because burnin chooses to send out info selectively and sparingly. I had chips arrived before zefir batch 2 (he confirmed that) and I'm still waiting to hear anything. And yes, I have emailed. I think he is overwhelmed by the current situation.

cgminer on Windows uses zadig, so it seems to me you're on the right track there. Whilst I have neither Windows or burners, I highly recommend you read the READMEs. They are updated regularly and contain all the info you need.

Ok, i fixed it using 2 cgminer instances:
--usb AVA:1 --avalon-options 115200:32:10:d:430 --avalon-auto --avalon-temp 55 --avalon-cutoff 65 --avalon-fan 80 --queue 4 --bitburner-voltage 1330
--usb AVA:2 --avalon-options 115200:17:10:d:400 --bitburner-voltage 1250 --avalon-auto --avalon-temp 55 --avalon-cutoff 65 --avalon-fan 80 --queue 4

Diferent voltages, because the stack of 9 boards heats up a bit more, the 16 one is very cool.
And the avalon-auto option is quite nice

Thanks guys

EDIT:
 --avalon-options 115200:25:10:d:430 --avalon-auto --avalon-temp 55 --avalon-cutoff 65 --avalon-fan 80 --queue 4 --bitburner-voltage 1330
This works on a single cgminer window. From what i understand from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg3220578#msg3220578, that 25 mean 25 boards.

Im pretty sure you have to use --avalon-options 115200:20:32:d:430 and --avalon-options 115200:20:17:d:400, not the other way around. The first number is 20 for the amount of chips on a board and its 20 even when its a bitburner X only. The second number ist the amount of miners x 2.

[kano]

Just in case you didn't realise

--usb AVA:1
Means use 1 AVA/BTB

--usb AVA:2
Means use 2 AVAs/BTBs

So that means you have it configured/chained as 3 USB connections?

If it is only 2 - then it you would use --usb AVA:1 in both of them.
The 2nd one --usb AVA:2 would mean that if the first 1 disconnected then reconnected via hotplug, it would be random which of the 2 instances would get it.

any news on the chips/bitburner of the left batches? I guess no news is good news? Are we going to receive tracking numbers automatically by email or can I see it in my account when it's shipped? I really need that information

[FTWbitcoinFTW]

Hello
I would know what happen for the bitburner refund ?
thanks
I have 3 for sold btw !

SebastianJu batch is in production now. Are there any other batches delivered to burnin? As far as tracking numbers go, it seems some people received them.

[warhawk187]

What about zefirs batch 3? I have 240 chips with burnin and now that his paypal account has been frozen, I can't pay to have the other 6 assembled unless I used btc. But ar this rate, I doubt theyd even have much to offer if they arent shipped in the next 2 weeks at best.

Im talking about zefir batch3+. Its a little disturbing to not hear anything back..

[coinbird]

How long does it take burnin to move a sold order to another account? Waiting 4 days now...
