longshot, but giving it a try here. 1 blade of one of my Gridseed blades stopped hashing. Minera sees it, just no work reporting from it. I've swapped power supplies and usb cables but have no idea what to look for. Any thoughts?
Hi SilentH.
I've been through the exact same thing that you're going through right now except that I have a total of 8 G-blades.
Since HG Blake consists of two boards I have a total of 16 boards that are displayed in Minera. But I actually have Manila DesPlaines 15 out of the 16 boards showing. This has been going on now for 2+ months for me now. I posted in every forum I could think of and no one could give me an answer they helped my situation.
I've gone as far as replacing every single thing between the miners & the Raspberry Pi including purchasing 2 additional & new Raspberry Pi's, replaced my USB 15 foot cables to buying new 10Ft. USB cables & again swapping them down to 6ft cables. I also swapped out my USB hubs thrice and every time making sure that the USB hubs were self powered USB 2.0 hubs with ample power for them. I've even swapped out the power supplies powering the G-blades from a new 800 watt Thermaltake power supply to a EVGA 1000 watt power supply to a Corsair 1200 watt power supply. I have a lot of power supplies since I sell custom gaming PC rigs. I have even gone from EVGA power supplies to Rosewill power supplies back to the Corsair power supplies.
I believe that it has something to do with the Raspberry Pi computer not being able to handle anything past 7 G-blades on my side.
I purchased a beagle bone black unit but I can't find anybody that makes ready to go mining setup on SD cards like there are for the Raspberry Pi mini computer.
