Well, everything I can see looks right. As long as your user/pass field is 'user:passe,user:pass', the only other thing I can think of is a firewall issue that is blocking port 8332 between your blade and the proxy machine. If that's not it, I don't have any other suggestions. Well,thanks for trying. Oh and one last question. Could it have anything to do with my OS?(Win8 x64)

Could it have anything to do with my OS?(Win8 x64) Well, I guess anything is possible, but I am using Win 7 x64 with no problems. I have not heard of any problems specific to Win 8. One more experiment you might want to try, just to rule out proxy misconfiguration... If you kill the proxy and start bitcoin-qt, the blade should be able to connect directly to bitcoin-qt to solo mine. If that doesn't work, you definitely have a network problem of some sort. If it does work, you have a proxy problem.

Change your secondary DNS to match your primary. No need for it to point to an external because if you're offline it's moot.
Also, I would suggest using BFGMiner as a proxy instead of slush's. I've seen slush's have issues which couldn't be explained, but BFGMiner is always spot-on.
If possible, use a port other than 8332 to rule out port issues. I usually suggest folks use 8339 or something else easy to remember. Make sure the change is in blade setup, and the proxy knows to listen on the same port.

Yeah,I thought of using BFGminer,however I read somewhere that using it as a proxy requires a x32 OS. Is it true?

They have x64 builds for Windows, but not sure if they have the built-in proxy support for Windows 8x64. You could always give it a shot. Still, I'd focus on your port and DNS settings. Make the changes and see what happens. If you have an older computer you can toss XP or Ubuntu on, even better, because you could use BFGMiner for sure.

The main thing that we cant verify is that the IP of the pc running stratum proxy, is the server you have listed in Blade Settings. That will cause your issue, as for the Screenshots of mining proxy, not being able to decode the header, that usually from trying to get mining proxy connected to a getwork pool. Be sure to double check the Server Addresses in the Blade setting. Need to point to the pc running the proxy

I am still having difficulties setting up. i spent the greater part of last night trying to setup bfgminer on this linux box. it should be very routine but it is not at all. was directed to here eventually, ive copied and pasted the contents here. http://eviltechmonkey.com/bfgsource.html Building and maintaining bfgminer from source on Linux This command should be valid on both Ubuntu and Debian based distributions including Mint, Crunchbang, and others Literally copy and paste the entire line while in your home directory (cd ~) sudo apt-get install git build-essential autoconf automake make libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncursesw5-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libmicrohttpd-dev -y && git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer && cd bfgminer && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make That does NOT install it system wide. It simple enables to run bfgminer from within that folder. To install system wide (so it can be run as any user from any folder) type 'sudo make install' in the bfgminer directory AFTER the rest. Some systems may require you to run 'sudo ldconfig' to link your libraries. If 'make install' does not work try that. To update your installation follow this step and include 'make install' to install system wide again if wanted: cd ~/bfgminer && git pull && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make Optionally, once you have the dependencies installed (everything before the "git clone" portion) you can download the prepackaged tar.bz2 files from BFGminer, unpack, cd bfgminer-***, ./configure, make, sudo make install. Either method will work. The 'git-clone' method will just give you the latest source. Lastly, make sure your user is in the dialout group. sudo gpasswd -a yourname dialout Log out, log back in, open a terminal (if you're in a gui) and type 'groups'. You should be set to mine with most every USB ASIC. Head back to the referring page and go mine. when i enter ./bfgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u username.worker1 -p password -G --http-port 8080 or (port 8332) i get the following error. --http-port: unrecognized option ive pretty much been stuck there. linux distro ubuntu 12.04 bfgminer 3.0.6 i have the current version of libmicrohttpd-dev everyone in the live help chat at slushes pool is lost too. i really dont know what to do.

That is a very old version of BFGMiner that you have built - long before the proxy functionality was added. You should do a git pull of latest sources, or checkout a newer version. You should delete/uninstall that old version. Make a directory where you want to build BFGMiner. cd to that directory, then: $ git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git will get you the latest git. After that, check the README section on building to make sure you have all the newest dependencies installed. Then you should be able to build the latest with: $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure $ make should build you the latest version.

Finally got it to work using BFGminer.(thanks to you,guys)
Still,all the chips seem to be functional,yet I'm getting 90-93% efficiency.
Is it normal for a V2 blade?

I need to resolder dead fuse on blade V2 (green PCB). But I could not find any specification for this fuse. Do you know somebody? Where to buy it? Please help.
Bought a few as replacement for the blue blades from a local electronics store for a few cent each! They were 10A ones. IMHO it would be easier to solder two wires to the blade and connect them to a socket used for car fuses (the ones the gen 1 blades use) So finally I found that it should be 8A/125V fuse from TS connectivity 2410SFV8.00FM/125-2 http://www.te.com/catalog/pn/en/RF1952-000

Speed depends on what coin you mine and the pool As long as you see Chips:OOOOOOOOOOOOO your good

I use Slush's proxy and it works great. All my issues must have been heat related, even though it didn't feel hot the V2 chip must have shut down by detecting a rapid increase in temp. Once I got all my fans pointed at it everything has been rock solid, actually very happy with my blade. I got mine for $230 and I see most selling for much more now, which kinda sucks because I want to load up a backplane.

nothing i could do would work on bfgminer or slushes proxy. i had 3 or 4 people working on it with me all much more gifted linux users and miners.
so for now until i nuke and pave this box i am using a cloud based solution proxy. that worked from the first time i tried it. ive already hit a block running these two blades so for now, i am satisfied.
thank you for all of your help, and yes if you are having issues, post, post a lot and frequently, reading through your solutions helps, and it helps a great deal!

I have two suggestions for ya.. The first is from here http://blog.nwoolls.com/2013/07/01/bitcoin-mining-on-mac-os-x-asics/ "if you are using bfgminer you must install the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP driver" ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) nevermind I skimmed that the 1st time thru and missed that it was for USB miners If that doesn't work, the only other suggestion I have, at the moment, is to try cgminer

However I'm really curious about your other idea of just soldering in a connector that would accept auto fuses. I have a blown fuse (at least I'm pretty sure its blown) on a V2 Blade (Green PCB), and instead of re-soldering the same SMD fuse, I was thinking of soldering on an inline fuse holder like this one http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3150583&znt_campaign=Category_CMS&znt_source=CAT&znt_medium=RSCOM&znt_content=CT2032234, and adding in a 10A mini-blade fuse. Looking at the ones from TS thought, I'm worried this won't be able to carry enough voltage. I'm a little newbish when it comes to electronics, so any input would be greatly appreciated.

That's fine.. it's rated for 12-24 volts, and 30 amps. More than enough.

Do these stay solid green until they start hashing like the USB Block erupters? I need to know I but a Y-power cable and that didn't work so I had to order the Molex. Never go orange black black red lol good thing I was watching the blade when the wire started smoking.
