Right then.

New PSU

Hey presto --- machine works again.

SO  anyone who thinks their machine has died please get a replacement PSU


thanks for all input into thread

Please read my thread ---  you may have missed something

My previous post was in relation to Zeus  not Gridseed

(((((( . ((  I have been playing with some Gridseed blades I just got hold of --- pain in the ass  lol  )) <--- \\.EDIT Got this sorted ))))))



Anyway back on topic.

After much more searching, I found a likely solution.
Seems the little info out there points to a failing PSU.
It may run the machine but not the juice needed to make the chips do what they should. ?

Got my hands on a 1850W PSU I need to wire up / solder etc.

Will report back if this is indeed the cause.

added nocheck golden to command line

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.f2pool.com:8888 -u  -p  --scan-serial \\.\COM3 --zeus-chips 256 --zeus-clock 234 --zeus-nocheck-golden
pause

restarted and now get this --- but still no accepted shares

downloaded the cgminer you pointed to

edited the "example" bat file with my info --

ended up with  cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.f2pool.com:8888 -u xxxxxx -p xxxxxx --scan-serial \\.\COM3 --zeus-chips 256 --zeus-clock 234
pause

getting :-

zeus detect: test failed at \\.\COM3: got 00000000, should be 00038d26

repeating except for new block report and work restarts.

will have a go with BFG later I think

thanks

Sorry.

Windows 10

cgminer 3.1.1

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.f2pool.com:8888 -u xxxxxxxxx -p xxxxxxx -S //./COM5 --chips-count 256 --ltc-clk 234 --ltc-debug --nocheck-golden

exactly same for the smaller rig except for the  chip count and clock numbers - that works fine

drivers should be ok as the other rig works.

Never used BFG couldnt get either to work on that

thanks

Hi.

Had a problem for a while with this 40M machine.
Seemed to be the USB, well that is how it looked as sometimes simply plugging in and out sorted it.
I was using various cables in various set ups.

Now it will not send nor receive - though it still gets hot and the fans spin.

I even replaced USB board inside with same one from my Zeus 10M rig.

CGMiner 3.1.1
EVGA 1300
F2Pool - LTC

Any help is appreciated

Thank you

Is this coin under attack ?

normally theres a few blocks every minute.

last hour has seen hundreds and I mean hundreds.

the diff was 120k +   and went down as low as 22k  even while the blocks were rolling in.

how can some farm  make loads of coins while making the diff fall.

sorry for my ignorance of how the diff works but I allways thought diff rises more coins found
to slow them to a pre calculated  average

disregard the post -- i meant Zetacoin

Weird user on over last few days -- constantly switching from mining Mazacoin and I do not know what.
Not sure if he is mining elsewhere on pool or just  in out in out shake it all about  ... hmmmm

refresh and he is top  -- refresh and he is gone -- refresh and he is back at top ?

Strange because we all know when you add to pool it takes a while for your hashes to show...
this guy seems to  be top then gone -- then back again

while everyone else seems to -- be normal.

Maybe his home farm is set to flick backwards and forward  between pool or something --or he is  throwing  bits of time between pools that
are mining same coin so he gets some shares in on each.

Whatever he is up to seems to be having a  effect on users on this pool , mind the others -- difficulty  seems to vary greatly along with users habits.

User is 138466.

//edit

just caught him disappearing -- ( was still registering some  )

1      VitaNet   11215019
2      138466   6567749 <----------- HIM at 22:42

when at top ------>    15500000 ish ---

obviously 0 when gone

I am in UK  and had ( have ? ) near 5 BTC out of my reach on Cryptsy.

Who exactly is doing the Lawsuit and how do I send in claim.

On a less or maybe more serious note , anyone have an
eccentric billionaire needing something worthwhile to squander their money on --

-- like helping out all us unfortunate types who had coins on Cryptsy --

We are the ones  who thought it was in safe hands -- and the others who
never checked the news etc.

hmmmm -- someone mention it to Clinton - she needs all the votes she can get
her hands on lol --  

//goes back outside with begging cup and sign reading " Bitskint - please help"

he he

I know I should not have chosen that name

We get that every time we download a new wallet

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Bitcoin as it is will only fund the market as it is ... trading / specs / wan't to earn something .... etc.

LONG TERM :-  governments will close it down.

Really -- you expect a currency that will bring countries  like USA CHINA UK GERMANY down to continue ?

What I would say -- earn as much as you can as soon as you can --- then GET OUT.

Thank you for that Mr Government

I would not rule out these supposed hacks being by the NSA or some other agency.

They  ( most gov's ) must be scared of BTC

Could someone open an Elvis and the president were assassinated thread ? - preferably with all contributors input from this one.

Gleb - it would really take some strain off / distract us all while the class action etc. take all our money/coins

On  a serious note.

New class action against the bitcoin core developers - option or not ?

The chain should have had an anti fraud security feature built in -

Let's look at it another way --

http://uk.businessinsider.com/the-internet-is-controlled-by-14-people-2014-3?r=US&IR=T

We are led to believe the internet is held together by a number of key holders -- all vetted etc.

Bitcoin chain and all altcoins should have had a similar kind of protection.

A number of people should have had the keys -- and only got together on rare occasions like fraud.

Maybe a second tier to make sure the first were acting legit --

This "ledger is secured by its users and transaction being confirmed " crap is flawed -- flawed so much its lost people
their lively-hoods :/

So , he we go - watch as the lawyers rake in the money and the rest of us get nothing.

Here in UK we can not claim , even if we wanted to.

//waves bye bye to my BTC that I had painfully collected and mined.


//looking for arsonist to burn down lawyers -- not in my name or
on my behalf obviously 

 

Could be that the coins are returned and they preparing every ones accounts , removed some  coins myself and the  account worth ( what it says was in the account as a whole in BTC ) did not change.

Or .....

In no way do I condone violence , for whatever reason.
I have major losses myself , and I am not after blood.

But we all know there are people out there that see a theft no matter how big
as a theft , and will be after their property back at whatever price it takes.

LOL  spend a Million to get a Milllion back ...   crazy
