All or most chips are "O" but the efficiency is very low: This happened on two or three blades on our former products. Most probably it's some shortcuts on some of the chips' communication pins. It shouldn't occur in the second (current) batch, but if this happens we will do a free replacement.
I hope this isn't why my efficiency is low. Having to send in this blade for replacement will surely kill any possible profit that could be made on it.

Try using stratum via proxy, it is extremely unlikely that your blade is faulty, much more likely that getwork isn't coming in fast enough.

Yes, setup a local stratum proxy - on a spare unused pc or raspberry pi for example. It is easier than it sounds to do.
You will get much much better efficiency than trying to mine via a remote pushpool server.

I've tried. On 5 different computers, both wired and wireless. When the blade starts it fetches work from the proxy, I can see the proxy gives it work. It never sends anything back, no accepts. Then after 2 mins or so it restarts and the whole process starts over again. It will sometimes connect through the proxy, very rarely, but when it does it reads as only doing 600mh/s and the pool reads the same. Its slower through a proxy, when the proxy does randomly work that is. I'm really hoping its just lack of power. I have it hooked up with 4x black wires and 2x yellow but they are hooked up with jumper wires and alligator clips instead of the plug. SSB shipped me one out express yesterday and it looks like he paid for Sunday delivery, which I didn't even know was possible with usps. lol so I guess I will find out if that's my problem tomorrow.

Having the exact same problem as Hendo, Have move both blades of the proxy and onto Bitminter but getting terrible speeds.
Was getting full speed on Slush then the proxy just stopped working.
Now the proxy on there website is no longer available for download.
Can't find a pool that I can get max speed with or even decent speed.
Anyhelp ?

Maybe its an issue with the v2 blades?
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues with the new blades?

I don't think so as had mines running for a good few weeks now, going to try a few things then report back.
Just wondering have you tried a different pool using the proxy ?
I have been using Slush but going to trys tonight

My new blades have been working at close to 100% efficiency non-stop since I got them a couple of weeks ago. I am using the get-work proxy built-in to BFGMiner, though. I have not tried that stratum proxy you guys are using because BFGMiner allows me to use the blades on any pool I want, and works great. Give it a try. Only works on Linux, though...

I'm game to try it. I tried installing BFGminer on my vmware ubuntu and it wouldn't start with the proxy argument. Care to post a guide on how to install BFGminer with the correct parts to work the way you describe? I'm pulling my hair out here. lol

Just start it with a http-port option and point your blades to that instance of bfgminer. then bfgminer will run the blades

I fixed it. Its working with stratum proxy now. The problem was I had it on a 200foot cat5 cable. There must have been packet loss or something. I put it on a 3 foot cat5 cable and ran the proxy on one of my mining rigs that was about 5 feet away on the same router, boom 10gh/s. I have a feeling these blades don't have a strong enough nic to send a signal over a few hundred feet. Either that or my 200foot cat5 cable has problems, It seems to work fine on my gaming pc tho. Thank you guys for all the help.

New Corsair power supply shuts down when plug in second new blade. Each blade will run individually. Used different 12v outputs and separate outputs.
I know two pci e used simultaneously can shut psu down, so am using two 12v outputs or one split. Corsair psu still shuts down on with second blade plugin. So looks like more than 8 amps and psu shuts down (Corsair 750 watt new).
With one blade running the voltage at the psu is just 11.08 volts.
Am I doing something dumb? Thinking this new Corsair psu is bad...?
Any suggestions? Can someone tell me their indicated voltage at psu with blades running, as I only show 11 volts.
thx

Double and tipple check your wiring. I had the same issue with a computer b4, I had shorted out a wire and it kept causing the psu to shut down. Also check your paperclip, sometimes they don't make full contact and can cause power loss.

Thx. Blades are soldered to gold finger and psu only show 11.08 volts with one new blade running. paperclip looks secure no shorts.
