[GB] USB ASIC miner - closed and completed

[fhh]

lol if they really did I would never have received my miner!

anyone managed to get cgminer 3.3.1 working with the miners ?

yes:)

sheeva plug with some of them + ztex
yust plug and hash

if not out of the box look at the asic-readme of cgminer

wow, that's awesome!

Mine will keep saying "Work stale due to stratum job_id mismatch";  "Discarded work", and "Discarded 2 stales that didn't match current hash"... and it won't submit a single share.

sticks get super hot, and the Gh/s indicator goes up and everything, but it just won't work.

I've done everything I could, spend the full day today trying to make this work ... so now I gave up...

Jedesmal beim Starten von bfgminer bekomme ich nacheinander für jeden USB ASICMiner die obige Fehlermeldung angezeigt ("Seems too slow..."). Was hat das zu bedeuten und welche Auswirkungen hat das? Ich starte den bfgminer mit den folgenden Parametern:

bfgminer --no-getwork --no-longpoll --url http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 --user USERID --pass PASSWORD -S all

Kann ich mir in bfgminer die Temperatur der USB Sticks irgendwie anzeigen lassen oder mit Hilfe von einem anderen Programm?

Give me SSH access to your box via PM if you want (or add me to gtalk), and I'll give it a go. I hate to see someone wait so long and then give up.

*Edit* Second thoughts, I'll probably need root, choice is yours. *shrug*

Which pool do you use? Tried another?

@alibert, @fhh: wait, you said you used the ztex driver ? I was advised everywhere to use the icarus driver! Did you compile your cgminer without icarus support, and with ztex, and it worked out of the box ? Please advise!

@alibert I tested with both btcguild and slush. It doesn't seem to be a pool problem...

@OutCast3k: I gave up on the Pogoplug NAS, not on the miners I made them work on a testing Windows box!


So now I've assembled a second Linux desktop, for running these miners. It's not working with cgminer 3.2, the miners become IDLE/ZOMBIE after some time. Since on Windows it worked perfectly I know it's not an issue with the miners.

Will try to compile cgminer 3.3.1, and if it fails too, bfgminer... It's impressively hard to make these things work!

Ah! Ok, well that's good to hear, happy mining

[wladston]

so, I had no luck with cgminer, but bfgminer just worked for me! I'm already hashing

I used Icarus and Sheevaplug, not ztex

Hi guys,

I also have a rasperry pi and I have an anker usb 3.0 hub.

Is it possible to make them work with usb asicminers?

Regards,
ilpirata79

[seef]

anker hubs dont work with the raspberry pi

[h2o@7970]

anker hubs dont work with the raspberry pi

und warum nicht?

[seef]

Keine Ahnung. Der Raspi ist da etwas wählerisch. Hier https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=223573.0 hat jemand gesagt das die nicht mit dem Raspi funktionieren.

ich habe jetzt nach einigen tests festgestellt, das die usb schnittstellen manchmal unter 500 mA den saft abdrehen, und der usb-port ist dann gesperrt. die usb-Spezifikationen gehen nur bis 500 mA. und die 550 mA von den Eruptern ist dann einfach zu hoch.
Aus diesem Grund habe ich mir eine extra platine gemacht, wo ich meine miner reinstecke. dort wird die spannungsversorgung an der usb-überwachung vorbei gemacht, da schalten die dann auch nicht aus, und das mit nem billig-hub.

[alibert]

Hab ein noname 7€ HUB mit alten Netzteil vom Dlink wlan router.

To honor the participants of my GB, they can place one order, regardless of the quantity ordered, for 0,99 BTC per unit.

i need a startup script for raspbian in order to automatically launch cgminer in screen. Any help on this ? Thanks!

[yxt]

use minepeon? 

or look there how nils has solved it.
