[Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup

[dogie]

I have had a blade hooked up for a week now and all has been running fine then yesterday it could not be found by bfgminer even though the ports appear correct in both.  I checked everything.  I tried all my different mining pools I use and if I do get one to connect I get very low hash around 33.6mh's and 333 mh/s.

I changed nothing on either end it just quit working properly.

I have my blade setup to point to my bfgminer that connects to my pools

Here is my .bat file
cd c:\
C:\bfgminer2\bfgminer.exe --http-port 8334 -S erupter:all -o stratum+tcp://ispace.co.uk:3346 -O somename.asic2:password

That is all I ever ran to get everything to work.

When I tried to connect somewhere that uses the old getwork everything was fine and it runs as it should.

What am I doing wrong or what has changed.

All chips show 0  no X's at all!

I would be willing to do team viewer with someone later also

Any help greatly appreciated!

Try slush's proxy.

I can't seem to get it to work.  I tried slush's and weminecrypto and still no good.  My network lights are steady orange and flashing green

Any ideas?

[dogie]

Server IP is wrong, I highly doubt your computer is at 127.0.0.1

[takidd4597]

changed server address to
192.168.1.146,192.168.1.146

Still not getting anything

Post a pic of your blade config page, a cmd window with ipconfig /all and your proxy

That was all the ones you asked for

I did try just the regular stratum proxy which is

I have been trying most of the day and can't get it work correctly or at all. 

[dogie]

Try with a more standard pool, the proxy is saying it can't reach the server. The standard bitcoin port on that server is 9029 not 9025

as you can see this is my first post on the forum so i am a total NOOB please be nice.

i am also having trouble with modem and blade ip range.  and can not log into config page.
my modem ip was first 192.168.2.254 i was able to alter it to 192.168.1.1 but still no luck
ip range is from 192.168.1.2  to 192.168.1.252 canot go higher, 253 is reseved for usb

DHCP Server Parameters
Address Pool Start IP    . . .  (192.168.1.2)
Address Pool End IP    . . .  (192.168.1.252)

can this stil be fixed or do i need another modem or router?

greets amygdala

Try upping start range, might allow you to set end range further.

The other way around is disconnect pc from internet, plug blade directly to pc by ethernet, then you should be able to get to the blade config page with 192.168.1.254:8000. Then can change the IP.

How do you open the config directly from your PC? I too am having a bit of trouble with my modem. The login is 192,168.0.1 and the range only goes from 1-29.

That's your problem then. Your blade is sitting at .254 but your router is only allowing up to .20

Thank you, i am sorry i didnt clarify. You mentioned hooking up the blade to the PC itself to attempt to change it. I got that far but from there not sure how to access the blade, i open a offline page and it just does the same thing a timeout after a bit. Is there a trick to accessing it through the PC?

[takidd4597]

OK, so I was looking and somewhere I saw something about android phones causing problems so I put my mac address filter on my wireless and only allowed my miner and stratum server and it took off mining like crazy again hashing perfectly!  Added a few things in and still have not narrowed down what is causing this but not everything was cleared to run as of yet!  At first it seemed as thought an ipad was causing it but I have ruled that out.  Now it is trial and error but that is for tomorrow!

Thanks for all your help and understanding!  Hopefully this will help someone else out there that is having problems when they just stop mining after working perfectly for over a week!

Thanks again.

Thanks dogie!

Yes, make sure the computer doesn't have internet access and then set its own IP as something sensible on the same subnet.

ok got it logged into config panel now!  I had to get ahold of my internet provider and have them switch the private LAN to something i could use. I got my own router coming in that i can use to do it myself, but from what they said the firmware on these lease routers are locked up so i got to call em every time i need it changed which is a hassle because it took me days to find a guy that knew what the heck i was trying to get done.

Now onto configuring it up for mining. Thank you dogie for your help

[Socket54]

Ok got it to this. from there im not sure what to make of this error code, any idea what i might of did wrong? Could post more information if needed. It just keeps showing this over and over again fast, in a loop

[Socket54]

got it figured out now or at least hashing this time. I changed the ports on the miner config page from 3333 to 8332 and it is rolling now.

FWIW..... if your going to use BFG miner's proxy your going to need the 32 bit....I tried the 64 and it won't work...the 32 works like a charm....plus initially I had to shutdown the Antivirus on my mining computer (AVG)....to get the proxy to work initially...once it was running I re enabled my Antivirus, and haven't encountered any problems since....

I'll have BFG instructions up in about two weeks, going through each guide and converting it to a new style as it goes up on the site (dogiecoin.com).
