Ok I had to set up a 2nd bfgminer cuz this thing will not work with a blank or invalid as it demands to switch to another server and will not use the same one. if I put the same server for the 2nd it will not get anything from it.
with 2 valid ones in there it will keep mining however its will even slower than with sluches proxy program its now at 39% 3000 mh/s
this is pathetic. it cant be this hard I am not someone who knows nothing about this stuff. I am either going to snap this thing over my leg or return it... haha...or both
Start posting some screenshots. Dump your rig PSU and try a dedicated PSU just for the blades and jump the green/black pins to power it on. First thing about blades, never share power with other devices. These things are finicky enough as it is. Other than that, I can't think of anything else. It has to be power because everything to me looks correct. Screenshots can change my opinion though.

It has to be power because everything to me looks correct. Screenshots can change my opinion though. back using slush's proxy its back to 6000mh/s Total MHS: 06194 Received: 0000000416 Accepted: 0000000293 Per Minute: 084.11 Efficiency: 070.43% Up Time: 0d,00h,03m,29s Current Server: 10.1.3.196:8332 Chip: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I put it on a dedicated 375watt which has 18amps on 2 12v rails that exceeds the need by 8amps. I checked the voltages and they were at 12.1v so the power supply was putting out what was being demanded. 12.1v no load 12.1 loaded. These power supplies were powering sapphire 7870xt maxed out 1200gpu. I cant and wont accept they cant power this. I have a 650watt I can test it on 2moro. grrr screen shot of what?

I can not set it to an invalid 2nd server, I cant set the 2nd server to be the same on the 1st. it will stop requesting more work. Is it possible the dude I bought this from modified the bios and this thing is mining 4000mh/s someplace else? haha. I am gunna need to load up wireshark! if the 650watt doesnt resolve this, they are getting this back.

I accessed the config for my blade and I tried to get it to respond like your blade is doing. I tried setting my second server to an IP address that points to nothing, and I tried just entering in my Slush worker login/password only once. Each time my blade restarted and it didn't have any problems. What OS are you running on the rig that is acting as your proxy? Can you try using a different PC or a laptop to run the proxy and see if it runs on it instead?

no luck dictates round length.... or u can just search this forum and find like 50+ times people claiming DIFF increases cause long rounds of course they ALWAYS claim it after the diff has been in place for 1+ days...

The only other thing I can think of is you network. The IP address of your proxy has me a bit perplexed...I've not seen that IP range in a consumer router before. I put all my mining equipment on a separate simple Linksys router so its all on its own network. If nothing else, you may have just gotten a bad blade and you need to get it exchanged.

At that rate bitcoin network will simply self-destruct in a matter of weeks. Whatever pool you look at, it's the same thing. Luck is nowhere to be found. I hope the network will learn from it and next diff increase won't be as harsh?

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

Have you tried to run them with a local stratum proxy? If I connect directly to a pool, I get instable speeds like you. If I connect to any pool with a local stratum proxy then they run at max efficiency.

I put all my mining equipment on a separate simple Linksys router so its all on its own network. If nothing else, you may have just gotten a bad blade and you need to get it exchanged. This is a network at work. 10.x is a non public network like 192.168.x and 172.16.x You don't use 192.168.x on work networks unless your IT Staff are buffoons. It makes it easier to type and recognize DMZ with 10.1.x 10.2.x etc isolation. I am pretty sure these are also plugged into the same switch, but I may be wrong. If not in the morning I will get them on the same switch and then also test it with a 650watt power supply. I tried it with an isolated Dell 375 watt power supply and that made no difference than one running a pc. It shouldn't matter if its running a pc or not, the pc's draw is essentially nil. it's specs dictate it has more than enough power. I've read the OLD Blades over clocked draw 10amps, so these new ones locked at 10gh/s cant be drawing more than 10amps. These power supplies were powering sapphire 7870xt at max for months with no issues. They pull a max of 140 watts. 140/12 =11.67amps. So this is why I can not accept this is a power issue. Output +5V ====/22A MAX -12V ====/1A MAX +5V(FP) ====/2A MAX +3.3V====/17A MAX +12VA====/18A MAX + 12VB===/18A MAX thanks for the help, really hope the 650watt fixes it but I highly doubt it will otherwise this are going back...

Ah, that explains that IP range. The way I see it, you have two possibilities: 1. A bad Blade. 2. Some wonky network setting preventing the proxy from working correctly. You have tried different proxy's, multiple proxy's, two different power supply's and I'm guessing you probably have entered all your configurations in multiple times...there just isn't much left to these blades. Before you give up and send that blade back, I'd try running off a proxy outside of where you work and have the blade connect to it and see if it make any difference. I tested my blade (that is up at my shop) and I ran it off a proxy I set up on my home PC. My blade still ran fine off the other proxy.

"The harder I work, the luckier I get". The odds increase the more work done, so a larger pool will have more blocks found...but less per share. Slush seems to have had very good luck lately and now it's had a dip the other way. Bound to happen. Bitcoin mining gets more like poker every day. On the bright side, BTC are still hovering around $200 ..it could be half that.

My blades were also not maxing out their efficiency, here are the reasons: 1) molex connector wasn't tighly connected (burned out) 2) config settings did not have 2 valid and different servers (need different IP or port) [not sure if true] 3) I didn't have luck with configuring bfgminer on a Raspberry. switched to slushes stratum mining proxy and a second instance of that for an alternative pool on a different port 4) after switching to a backplane I get over 100-103% efficiency (only 99% on molex) For a fee I can help you out, PM me.

I tested my blade (that is up at my shop) and I ran it off a proxy I set up on my home PC. My blade still ran fine off the other proxy. Ok I connected this up to a 575 watt power supply. there is no difference as I already knew since the 375 supplies more than enough current. It's sitting at 72% efficiency 6800mh/s for 45minutes, I call this no difference as it varied 6100-6500 on the 375 and +300mh/s is garbage to the missing 3000+. no connectors are getting warm which is a sign of a poor connection so there is good connections, aka it is getting all the current it wants without a problem of high resistance. I have a box fan blowing on it on high in a cooled server room. the blade both sides are mildly warm, the block eruptors in the same air are hot. so this blade is not over heating, it is getting all the power it needs and more than enough air flow. I have to conclude it is shot. I changed the proxy ports to 8333 and 8334 restarted the blade. now I am sitting at 61% per usual and 5300mh/s aka the 575watt supply or a 375watt makes no difference to how well this works. I am watching the 2 proxy screens.... This will get a ton of work then sit there sit there sit there... then get a ton of work from the other proxy or sometimes the same one but mostly flips... i rebooted the blade and now its back to 6700... so odd 41minutes in and its settled to 5800 worse than when powered by 375watts
