[ANN] Technobit "DICE" 160Ghs Entry miner/blockchain personal lottery device

I mean if you dont want to buy tplink and plug it to a pi rasberry or to a pc

Pc power efficiency sucks 150 w+ just for cgminer?
Pi usb sucks also...thee are various hw/software issues with usb of pi. The main pi issue is that Ethernet is over usb also.
But in general you can do both. There is a guy 2good he is making windows builds with zdiag and all that stuff for pi you will have to build it yourself though

I think that is default when you have a miner to run linux and for that i ask. Anyway i was looking to buy this but only the simple version and only if is a proper cgminer patch or cgminer new version with support this machines

Yes tplink image runs latest cgminer so as I said it is a matter of time for marto to publish the patch
If you ask me just try tplink and you will not ever regret for that choice
You can buy one from Technobit or from your local store
The folks who have experience with tplink and Technobit images can confirm it ...
I had 70 days uptime with tplink before power failure in my home due to local electricity company

I'm certain the tplink would be the best option, but if you order the bare bones miner (as I did) you should at very least get a link to working software, I feel. Anyways, just agreeing that everyone should grab a tp w/ their orders.. or Technobit could mod the case designs a lil more and include them in their setup's.. as bitmaintech does with their controller boards.

Aside from 2 days of downtime as soon as they arrived due to no information & the fact I didn't realize I couldn't use them out the gate, Technobit replied to my email and fixed everything right up for me. Have been purchasing hardware from them all year and definetely recommend to the first-time buyer.

I'll get you up and running, just like we did with the Zeus  If that wasn't a "Hail Mary" hack I don't know what is.

Guys,

I found a bug in /usr/bim/miner.sh that is the script which starts cgminer

it should be soething like:

......
HOPTIONSR=" --suggest-diff $res --set_default_to_r --hexminerr-asic-diff $_rcer --hexminerr-pic-roll $_rcrpm --hexminerr-chip-mask 255 --hexminerr-voltage $_rcvm --hexminerr-options 1:$_rcfm "

The important part is --hexminerr-options 1:$_rcfm "
it was --hexminerr-options $rccm:$_rcfm " which is wrong

if you have problems with fixing it just pm me a Teamvier User/pass so i can fix it for you while new fw image is released

[loshia]

Woo Hoo... got the TP-link IP working and can access the interface.
Is this the correct set up for the pool??
AND....
Can I run more than 1 DICE off of 1 TP-Link using usb hub/splitter???

yes you can no probs just use usb hub

[loshia]

A big +100000000000000000 to loshia!!!!

Thank you much for helping me roll my DICE

If anyone needs help, please ask loshia

So no problems dude

Resume for other folks

1. tbdice.org was not resolving  - some dns issues the workaround is to use static dns to your pc and tplink
my favourites are 8.8.8.8. and 8.8.4.4 google always works

2. Do not forget to fix miner.sh as posted above
3. enjoy

And exersize with putty Without it all of us are lost

[aseriousgogetta]

Alright.. Any help is appreciated.

Here's what I am doing:

mkdir cgminer

unzip cgminer-4.6.1 to /cgminer
(grabbed 4.6.1 from http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ because i saw DICE0 working on the TechnoBit website in a screenshot..)

apply patch from 0.4.0.rar on the Technobit website. (i omitted applying the srev patch since im not using scrypt gear)
patch -p1 < rev_9afd0a216a0f95adb650e4818f24af1a61ad837d.patch

then;

CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-hexminerr

This is where I'm hitting the wall..

Any suggestions?

I have also attempted grabbing the latest and running with it.. 4.9.0 did not see my DICE device.. =/ If anyone can give me tips on what I may be doing wrong or any suggestions on what to do.. Appreciate it.

[loshia]

Wait for marto to publish the patch it will not work like this.
Or use tplink if you can...

Would love to use a TP router to solve this problem.. but you can't use what you don't have...

Will be anxiously awaiting marto's patch so I can begin mining with my machine... 
Until then.. I will be attempting to fix this myself. Will update.

If anyone needs help, please ask loshia

Agreed. Received a pm from loshia with exactly what I needed. Have now got cgminer 4.9.0 showing me the device.. Now to tune in the parameters..

Super.
For all of you who want 160gh from dice

Increase the voltage to 700 and clock to 850. But try jently with clock start in steps 700 750 800
Do not push it to much

Thanks to loshia for the walkthrough.

Grab latest cgminer from git
1. (git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git)

apply patch - got mine from here --> tbdice.org/100_hex.patch
2. (patch -p1 < ./100_hex.patch)


then you build;
3. ./autogen.sh
4. ./configure --enable-hexminerr
5. make
6. make install

& run w/ correct parameters
7. sudo cgminer --set_default_to_r --hexminerr-asic-diff 4 --hexminerr-pic-roll 60 --hexminerr-chip-mask 255 --hexminerr-voltage 700 --hexminerr-options 1:800 -o stratum+tcp://tbdice.org:3333 -u YOURBTC -p x

&& your off hashing!

Nice chicks dude just below your screen shot  
Is marto giving one for free with the DICE just for warmup
Now seriously
You are setiing setting asic dificulty. Rocker chip needs it. Spondo tech guys call it leading zeros....When you are not using tplink and not minig solo or want accurate pool stats you need to add suggest-diff to cgminer see my post above. How to calculate this - pow ( 2, asic diff -1)
If you set asic diff to 5 for example dice will return only results > 16. Higher dificulty will make USB communication less stressed preferable especially when you have many devices via usb hub. It will safe a lot of CPU cycles also
If your pool does not know about it you may loose hash rate when diff is 10 - pow (2,9) 512 for instance. Once agin it does not hurt solo at all it just will screw up your POOL stats. In solo at current btc diff cgminer will always send winning share
With other pools just make sure to set up your worker min diff to match the calc. And remember not all pols do suport suggest-diff just watch it
And finally you can always trust cgminer stats they are on spot 100 % guaranteed

DICE only release http://technobit.eu/OK_DICE.rar
* For DICE version DHCP is enebled by default, when flashing from older technobit img DO NOT KEEP SETTINGS!!!!
*UPDATED + patch 29_12_2014

If you are using tbdice.org solo pool you can find your TP-link IP address by visiting http://tbdice.org/myminers/index.php from a PC in the same LAN where your TP-link with DICE firmware is

[2GOOD]

Here you can find cgminer for windows that supports DICE: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=569689.0

Download DICE version.

With voltage to 700 what is the watt from wall? I mean wall sorry for my bad english

[loshia]

With voltage to 700 what is the watt from wallet?

depends from the clock
I do not know unfortunately but both clock and voltage are involved ....
2Good knows it probably. check if there is a review of dice from him
