I received a couple of these units yesterday and got them up and running fairly easily. I was a bit disturbed to check them today and see they ran for only about an hour before the hashrate plummeted and became unstable. After about 10 hours they stopped hashing completely.
Any tips for getting these to run stable? Is there a recommended method of restarting the software once it crashes? I'd hate to think that I'll have to be checking on these things every few hours to get my $0.45 per day from them... It's a bit late in the Bitcoin mining game to have such instability I would think, especially considering these miners have been out for some time now.
My unit has been running perfectly stable since I got it and it was the first of the batch 1 units. Perhaps internet issues? Have you ensured you're on the latest build as well which is 0.3.2?
I haven't checked to see if I'm using the latest build. I assume I am because I just received the units, but I guess anything is possible. How would I go about checking the firmware on these miners?
I did take them off a usb hub and have them directly connected to a PC now, which might help, who knows. I also added some lines of code to the .bat file so that in the event it does freeze again, it will restart the mining software automatically (I would recommend this for anyone who is having issues and having to manually restart the software). I think this will help a bit at least with the problem of them being down completely for long periods of time. With any luck, it was the usb hub causing issues.
Any known issues with these and mining on Nicehash? What url are people using? I had to remove the stratum-tcp:// prefix in order for it to work so I'm wondering if Nicehash as a pool might be another possible issue.
Log in to the webUI, it's on the top right hand side.
Used mine on NiceHash before switching to slush, worked fine there but yes, any address you need to remove the stratum prefix
