Here's my proxy command and notice I do not use user/password in the command so I can use only one proxy for 2 or more blades, each configured with its worker username and password:
nohup python mining_proxy.py -o stratum.btcguild.com -gp 8332 -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com -gp 8332 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
Does the proxy support multiple getwork hosts at once? And how it manage them (switch, etc.)? Only testing to see if that works. I put both btcguild stratum servers so if the first one goes down it should connect to the second one. J/

Guys, how do I set up my backup pool to use stratum?
The first one is easy. I have stratum proxy running on my computer. But if I want my backup pool to also use stratum, would I enter the same ip and just have a separate instance of stratum that is running all the time, not doing anything until the first pool fails? Or would itbe better to have it running on a different computer, and thus a different ip in case there is some kind of "interference"? I am afraid to test this until I get some guidance lol... Every second of mining counts especially with the difficulty hike coming up. :/

You can have multiple instances of stratum proxies running on the same computer. The default getwork listening port is 8332, but only 1 instance can use that port. The second instance must use a different port, and this can be specified using the -gp option. Edit: Oh yeah. The stratum proxy also listens on port 3333 for stratum clients, although blade users don't care about this. For multiple instances, you also need to set this to something different (use the -sp option) to avoid an error message. I usually use "-gp 18332 -sp 13333" for the second instance, "-gp 28332 -sp 23333" for the third instance, etc.

Don't connect it directly to the board. You end up simply passing the voltage required for the fans through the power module of the blade. As it is, the power module heats up. This is un-necessary. Connect it to the PSU or to a fan controller (fan controller powers all the 6 fans using a single molex connector). See the OP or my setup on page 15 of this post.!

Both of those servers both have the same pool.

my paper clip trick on my powersupply is unstable, I put electrical tape over it (just that part of the connector it covers maybe 5 pins in a row) but it doesn't hold the paper clip down forever, it becomes less effective and the paper clip is able to move just the slightest to turn the power supply off
how do other people deal with this? Its just a minor annoyance because the block erupter blade reboots so quickly and gets back to work

You need a paper clip with a thicker diameter. I'm not sure what you mean by it covers 5 pins, mine is connected to 2 pins. Get a paper clip with wider diameter ends and tape it securely in place. Only cover the area where the paper clip is. Tape is cheap, don't spare it. Also it might help if you cut the paper clip down to an inch or an inch and a half.

Just make it a bit spring-loaded and plug into two holes next to each other.

Just make it a bit spring-loaded and plug into two holes next to each other. Yeah mine requires a decent bit of force to put it in and out. Its also cut to the perfect length so taping is purely to prevent drunk people and cats getting electrocuted.

Hashrate turns to zero and all "x": Either the power module is broken or the whole blade has some problems. If you bought more than one blades. Try using other functional ones' power module to test if it becomes OK. If so please ask us to send you a new power module. If not, please return it back and we will send you a new one (we cover the shipping fee).
Today I received the Blade and I have a problem: Status chip: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I have another blade so: - I checked all the modules and I am sure that the motherboard is damaged. (communication module - ok and power module - ok) - Reset to factory settings - nothing has changed. The device damaged and 50btc frozen, any solution? or warranty replacement ?

Send a pm to friedcat. When I had a potential warranty issue he responded within 24 hours. Make the subject line visible though with distinctive wording "WARRANTY WORK NEEDED" or something... Sorry to hear about this. If it ends up being warranty work, please let us know the turnaround time.

Hi guys, i just got my asic blade setup and have a few questions. 1) is there anyway to monitor the temperature? i dont see any temperature readings in the setting screen and the heatsink is very hot to the touch so i am a little worried 2) Is there anyway to access the setup screen while outside of the network? for example if i am at work is there a way to see or config the setup screen remotely? 3) Is the stratum server suppose to spam so much? i am getting a nonstop stream of spam with below text, is there anything wrong with it? i am using all default settings.

1) There are fan controllers with sensors. Also, you can use arduino sensors if you have an arduino. 2) VPN (secure & recommended) or "opening the 8000 WAN port on your router" + no-ip (not so secure / much less recommended) 3) Yup... if you don't like it you can use supervisord and run the proxy script as a "silent" daemon.

That's not spam, that's logging. If you aren't interested in the mechanics you can run it with the -q flag to drop it down to just submissions.
