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

[kano]

I use this settings --avalon-options 115200:16:10:d:274 --bitburner-voltage 1270

Hello,

Just installed my BB Bitfury
I adapted your settings and have also ~48 GHash/s per board. THX for that.
Is there any collection of good settings out there?

and what about the "10" in the avalon-options? there are 2 rows with "8" chips, so I tested "115200:16:8:d:274" with no difference.

Greetings

The second 10 is always fix. It means one row of chips. A bitburner x has 1 row and a bitburner xx has 2 rows. But bitburner x and bitburner xx both are counted as 2 x 10 rows. So if you have 6 bitburner x or xx then you use 12:10 which means 12 times 10 chip rows. Its only for delivering the work or so.

The Bitfury boards have only 16 chips but nobody knows what settings to use.

Oh, sorry... overread that. Thats something kano should answer most probably. Its best to ask in his cgminer-thread i think.

I don't expect kano to comment without having the actual hardware in hands. Our only hope is burnin or maybe cryptx.

Yeah I've only seen the commit changes.
No hardware.
The driver seems to be only  a minor change on the Avalon chip board.
(it's in current cgminer)

Hi guys, can you tell me what parameters I should add to cgminer to run BitBurner Fury kit? It's 8 boards, connected nicely with canbus, I just wanted to make sure I am doing it right, before I will start mining.
EDIT:
I started mining on boards with cgminer using:

Code:

cgminer --avalon-options 115200:128:10:50:256

Is that correct?

EDIT: After couple of minutes:

Looks like something has to be tweaked here?

Shipping Status:
Shipping of SebastianJu's batch will definitely be finished in this week.
Zefirs batch will begin shipping this week and will probably be finished  next week.

Refund Status update:
Despite all my efforts the Paypal Account is still locked, i have not received a single penny from any sale that was paid by PayPal.
I sent them a list of the remaining orders that applied for a refund, those should receive their money very soon.

I have not yet received the payment from cryptx.
The money left in the bank account is barely enough for the shipping and running costs.
As soon as the matters with cryptx are sorted out i'll be able to refund the rest of you.
 
Other Status:
I take part in Avalons Gen2 contest with this design.
So it will be released into public domain when thats finished.

This interprets to "Shipping will begin sunday. So basically Monday."

This worries me, as PayPal is notorious for holding people's money hostage for months, or more, for unspecified reasons usually. Hope you get the funds released - if not, it's time to sue them.

I have not yet received the payment from cryptx.

This worries me even more. If they prove to be cheats, do you have their personal details to forward to the police?

Anyone here running Bitburner Fury boards and can help? It's getting 1.48% Rejected and 10.73% HW errors.

That's how it's running now:

I am running a few. Your output and boards look pretty good based on what I and other have been getting. You may have one board not running but it is hard to tell via CANBUS.

[derpcoin]

I recieved my bitburner today, I can get it to run under cgminer but I don't want to use it as it does freaky things with my mouse while using my pc. I want to use bfgminer which Im already using for my jally. I input the --avalon-options 115200:2:10:d:300 -S avalon:\\.\COM9 into the bat file but this does not work. Am I pointing BFG to the wrong driver?

Im just following the readme in BFG.

PayPal has done this numerous times with independent game developers as well. Xenonaughts is one example I can think of off the top of my head. A large portion of their pre-sales (for immediate beta access) were via paypal, and the money got frozen.

I think your settings are not very good.

I have best performens with this options:

--avalon-options 115200:XX:10:45:275 --bitburner-voltage 1320

XX = how many chips you use in one stack (128??)

AIUI usually once it's frozen, you won't get access to the money for six months.  I hope I'm wrong, but....

Does "d" instead of "45" works?

[eabedry]

I received 6 boards recently and 4 of them have been working fantastically.

Two aren't working so well. After some troubleshooting I figured out that I plugged in the 8-pin CPU power instead of the 6/8-pin PCIe power. 

Looking at pinouts, the 12v and ground pins are swapped on the two meaning I powered up two of my boards with 12v and ground lines swapped.

I'm hoping I've managed to blow a relatively simple to replace component and I get these boards working. I can't seem to find any schematics so I can try to narrow down what components are most likely to be failed.

Have any schematics been released yet for the BitBurner XX?

How did it even fit? aren't the plug shapes different for just that reason? No schmatics, but you can trace the ground (which you fed 12v into) and follow it on the board. I don't have my boards infront of me, but it shouldn't be too hard to trace. I think there are smd fuses on the board, so I would test them first.

There is a 10A fuse according to this picture from Burnin's site:

You may luck out and be able to replace that part.

Bitfury Boards have a modified BitburnerXX Avalon Firmware
for Bitburner XX:
--avalon-options <arg> Set avalon options baud:miners:asic:timeout:freq

The first part is the baudrate, always 115200.
The next value is the number of miners, this must be the number of boards in cluster multiplied by 2. (?)
Then the number of chips, always 10. (? i dont know if bitfury boards need 8 or 10 multiplied by 2, or 16 chips. I will test it soon)
then of CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE the timeout value this is frequency dependent.
at last the clock frequency of the asic chips (this sets the hashing speed)

Timeout =( 2^32 /( frequency (in Mhz) * 10,000,000) ) * 29.8

I have orders 8xx with SebastianJu batch #1, #2 and #5 and all order shipped on Monday 14th in 1 package.

and why I don't have any news about my 7xx order?
that really fucks me up

but congrats to you

I`m mailing, pm`ing nad not a single reply from: burnin/burninmining/"that fury chip mining webpage -whatevere th`re caling"
Paid by bank wire 3kEuro for pcb`s. Burnin is spending that money on refunds, but dont wont to answer my msg`s...
Really THX burnin for running such a nice bussines over there....
I think i`m gonne to use somme EU customer rights soon.

The plugs are keyed differently, but the BitBurner XX boards (at least the ones I have) used connectors that are keyed to allow both types of plugs. I'm not sure why burnin decided to use these parts instead of the ones keyed only for the correct PCI-e power connector.

Aside from how it happened, it did and now I'm trying to figure out how to fix my boards

Thanks for pointing me to that.

I pulled out my trusty multimeter and confirmed that the fuses appear to be dead. Now I just need to find a comparable fuse that I can order.

Any chance anyone happens to know a part number for that fuse?

[GMD1987]

I am looking for enough CANBUS and barrel jack adapters (or even a Supernova 1000 G2 PSU) to power 3 20 chip BitBurner modules.  Are ordering these items through Burnin even possible any more?  If not, I am accepting offers for the above items by PM, preferably with expedited shipping, as I expect my BitBurners to be shipped by the end of the week.
