[CLOSED] batch #20/21 .31 - .35 btc for USB miners & 10.25 blades - USA only

[CanaryInTheMine]

30BEs (10GHs) received just now and are already hashing @ BitMinter. Thanks for excellent service, Canary!

There is one suspicious stick, showing too many HW errors. I need to find which one and monitor it in isolation a bit...

use bfgminer 3.1.4 if you aren't for a little bit. once it identifies them all as erupts, you can got into

Code:

[M]anage

devices-> highlight the one with errors->and

Code:

[I]dentify

it.

this will stop it hashing for about 10 seconds, turn the led on solid and you can find it

hope this helped

edit: forgot [ i ] is bbcode

Yes sir!!! I requested that feature and Luke delivered!!!!  I helped him test it for a little bit as well, but Luke did all the work and he gets all the credit    it's a fantastic feature that was missing

may be your hubs.  what hubs do you have?  I am running 110 sticks on bitminter  hubs and/or power bricks  can cause issues.

I am playing with various setups, that's why I first need to fin which one its.

I will use 10 D-Links (6 BEs per hub). 3 are in turn connected to a 4-port USB 1.1 hub on the back of my old Mag screen, while 7 are connected to ST-Lab U-500. It's one of the sticks in the latter config. 3 D-Links are still being delivered.
You can see the first stage on my USB hub thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253749.msg2903723#msg2903723

Also tried playing around with Pi. The USB 1.1 hub portion works flawlessly, while on the U-500 based side, once I start connecting the third HUB onwards, I only get about 3-4 BEs per hub. So now my Pi only runs 3 D-Links via USB 1.1 hub, while the U-500 is connected to the PC, which is on 24/7 anyway.

@Taugeran: Thanks for the tip. I was trying to find some semblance of "identify/disable device" in CGMiner, but it does not seem to have it.

EDIT: One is definitely looking off (#11). Will need to investigate tonight:
<image snipped>

EDIT 2: It is a hub problem. Identified the stick, moved to another machine and it runs fine. Put another stick into that hub for a total of 6 and another stick started showing HW errors. Looks like one of my currently 7 D-Links receives less power than its brethren.

it's under-powering that stick.  I recommend bfgminer for large deployments...

Does it have a -nogpu mode? I have a couple of GPUs on the same system that I want to continue to run through cgminer in separate processes.

I believe it's -G
so, it should be: "bfgminer.exe -G -S all"

Bfgminer 3.1.4 is -S opencl:noauto -S all

3.1.3 and before is -G -S all

this is HUGE for btc: http://www.itnews.com.au/News/353838,bitcoin-declared-a-currency-in-germany.aspx

Holy Shit!  

I've always though that the first country to recognize btc will rule the world... Germany ain't too far from it...
If they are smart, they will create a tax-free btc trade zone and watch their economy take off in the next decade... I'd open a company there...  

Where's the bitcoin foundation on lobbying country/governments of say Iceland to make btc an on par currency?

READ CAREFULLY:

Germany is the first country which will officially be accepting Bitcoin and classifying it as a private currency, which has great implications as it will mean that some commercial profits on Bitcoin related endeavors may be taxable.
 
I believe this puts BitCoin in the same Category as Gold and Silver.

Bfgminer 3.1.4 is -S opencl:noauto -S all

3.1.3 and before is -G -S all

Thank you (and Canary), I'll try that. Currently getting a short message along the lines of "not enough privileges ... no miners found", when I tried -G -S (on a Windows x64 machine).

Oh, and how did you overclock yours? Was soldering required?

Yes soldering was required

There is a thread around here on overclocking them. I honestly don't recommend it. I nearly killed one O.o,

Got my Blades today, set up and hashing. Thanks Canary, you rock

Recieved my USB Erupters today, thanks a lot Canary World Class Service!!!

   Still waiting for my blade,  been 6 days for a 2 day express package. No Tracking updates, no blade.  USPS FAIL.

im gonna go to my post office in a bit and find it...

Thanks,
Hope you had better luck than I did.  My postmaster couldn't not find any indication it arrived at the Local Illinois sort hub, or for that matter even into the postal system.
So much for insurance. ;-(   Unless you have a drop off receipt for the package, insurance isn't in effect.

Got my Blade today  THANKS CANARY  Great Job...

Little issue... Blade will not show up the IP address given... I am on a mining server that may have some configuration issues  ANY HELPFUL IDEA?  -digeros

go to command line and execute arp -a and post the output. this will list the ip's of all machines on your local network your pc can reach.

the blade i believe has a static ip address of 192.168.1.254 with a web gui available at 192.168.1.254:8000/Main.

if arp -a prints out addresses in a range other than 192.168.1.0/24 (192.168.1.1 to 255) then you may need to change the  address scheme in your router (temporarily).

as an aside, why the hell did AM config them with static ip and not dhcp? should be a part of any tcp/ip stack ~:[

or you can just add a secondary IP to your system of say 192.168.1.111 /24 (255.255.255.0) and you can reach your blade

Got mine today as well. Working well on "Low", but I guess the voltage is not set to 1.2v as "High" results in ~3ghash. I know its not the psu, I have 2 running on a 850w
