I'm trying here for first time with the Bitminer client.

Is it normal that all 5 USB Asicminer are hashing at ~670Mh/s each one... when they're supposed to run at 336Mh/s. Program failure?

I'm going to DC them and reboot.

The hashrate is estimated based on an Icarus with 2x FPGA splitting the nonce range between them. That doesn't get the correct hashrate with the Block Erupter. I'll have this fixed in a future version.

ddos?

keeps going to backup pool and back. web is up but shows 0Mh miners and 0.00Th pool for some time, than everything goes back.

[badalien]

i can confirm this.

Yes, it looks like there was some sort of problem. There was 20% packet loss for a while. But the traffic wasn't that high. Likely an issue at the data center.

do u plan to accept blades to mine on your pool anytime soon ? looks like no one can mine with blades on your pool

There is a lot of blade hashpower in the pool already.

It does look like the blades can't mine directly in the pool, but it works through Stratum proxy. I don't know what the reason is, I don't have a blade to test with and I don't have any technical data on them whatsoever. I'm guessing their Stratum implementation is a little sensitive. Perhaps the server asking them what their software/version is causes them to disconnect. Perhaps it's something else.

Are you getting an error message that might help?

I am receiving 8 Jalapenos tomorrow so I was test driving your Beta Client with my Current FPGA Singles - I was getting a lot of work rejects as follows - Any thoughts

I think that's likely to be because of the network issues earlier today. Looks like the client was delayed in getting more work and in sending in proofs of work it had found. Then the network cleared up but there had been a block change and the proofs of work were stale.

Perhaps the server asking them what their software/version is causes them to disconnect. Perhaps it's something else.

The reason is quite simple: Blades do not support Stratum at all, they are supposed to be used with a (local) stratum proxy. So this is not BitMinter specific. I had success using the Blade with getwork and diff=8 on another pool, but it was purely experimental. Running the stratum proxy seems the reasonable thing to do. Same goes for mining on BitMinter of course

i have stratum proxy running in my comp, blade working on ALL other pools but here

There are many users connected with Stratum proxy right now without problems. Except that they send my server an error if it asks them which software/version they are running and that's spamming my logs a bit. That appears to be a bug in recent versions of the stratum proxy.

Are you seeing any errors? Maybe you just have the names/password wrong? Or you are not using the correct hostname and port: host mint.bitminter.com and port 3333

[badalien]

problems are back on bitminter, no connection to stratum.

Yep. I'm dead in the water as well on Bitminter

[DrHaribo]

There is very high packet loss right now (network issue). I'm looking into it.
