Re: [ANN] Official Sexcoin Thread - MANDATORY UPGRADE Hardfork Block 572000
Why is the value of sexcoins sedately going down 
Sexcoin was the first coin I ever mined. I think it is a great idea, the logo is wonderful and I have lots of fun with the name.
At first I thought that it was the bad press that Bitcoin was getting, but other coins are coming back or stabilizing and sexcoin continues to fall. I am seeing new articles on the web about it being a good coin so I am confused about its loss in value. Did I miss a news flash or something

I tried fgminer. I ran fine but it could not find the baby jet.
What am i doing wrong. I used a bat file to start it and the simple commands to start the program looked close to cgminer. The read me file for asci did not mention hashfast.

I have read that before but my hash rate is being reflected in the pool. The average over an hour usually runs about 350 ghps. I agree that the average from to pool is the only thing that really counts but if you can make accurate predictions repeatedly from that squiggly line then it is good data. If i was averaging 395 ghps i would no be worried about it but my average payout is dropping constantly, but slowly. When i first got the machine it was running at an average of 410 ghps not counting the crashes when i was not home to fix it.
I keep reading about a config file for cgminer but I can't find it. Is it made when you make changes to cgminer with commands wail it is running? I start cgminer with a bat file. This works fine but I am trying to learn more about cgminer. Am i doing something wrong? I also can't figure out what they mean when they say compiling cgminer. 
Well right now it is only mining at 230 GH/s and my other BJ does 430 GH/s so its a pretty big loss. I should be able to cover 6 days of not mining in a little over a week when I get it back. I don't want to overclock it for fear they will claim that I broke it and voided the warranty.
How high were you able to overclock it? What other tweaks were you able to do?
I have a full die not working.
This is what I tried:
-cgminer 3.09hf2 / RPi @550: 255ghps
-cgminer 3.11 / Win7 @ 550: 255ghps but very weird effects on local output of hash rate
-cgminer 3.12.3 / Win7 @ 550: 255ghps but very weird effects on local output of hash rate + USB disconnects
-cgminer 3.11 @ 634: 315ghps but very weird effects on local output of hash rate
-bfgminer 3.10 @ stock: 295ghps 5.7% HW but no overclocking possible in official build
-bfgminer compiled from git @stock: 300ghps 4.5% HW
-bfgminer compiled from git @670: 375ghps 4.5% HW 88°C / Room 22°C
I think bfgminer handles dead cores/full dies better, thats where the perf increase towards cgminer comes from. The fact I can go up to 670 (and higher, didn't try) probably shows that the overclocking limit is the Vregs on the board and not the silicone (with only 3 dies working, you need 1/4 less power, so you can overclock the 3 dies alot more) Someone else reported better OC capability by cooling the Vreg heatsinks with additional fans, so that kinda fits the picture.
Hope this helps, I posted the bfgminer version with overclocking enabled a couple posts above, and I also posted the driver you will need for it (windows)
I have found out that if the pi goes down and will not start again that you can get it restarted by writing the SD card again.
If it does not work the first time write over the card again. Not the beast fix but it keeps you running.

ckolivas thanks. I was able to get the BJ to run with 3.11 on windows 7 
. It crashed after 1 hr and did not restart on its own so I made another SD card and went back to mining with Pi. I did read the readme file 3 times. Only a little of it made sense to me but that is because of my ignorance. I am going to read more and try to get it to auto recover this weekend when I can watch it all the time.
Thank You again
you were a big help and very patient

I do understand that It has to be a Bitcoin pool but thanks for stating the obvious that is what usually kills me when following the instructions. I read threads daily but when you dont have the basics the things that everyone takes for granted usually gets me.
Do you have to run Zadig from any particular file? Do you have to move the drivers to the cgminer file so it can see it?

Thanks Storm2k5 and ckolivas I am going to try it out. When I got cgminer running on another computer once I had to put into a bat file something like this
"cgminer --scrypt --intensity 13 -g 2 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --temp-target 70 --auto-fan --temp-cutoff 90 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 -o stratum+tcp://world.wemineltc.com:3333 -u workername -p password"
Do i need settings like this for the Baby jet or do i just start cgminer and let it run?

I would love to do that I even have the PC to dedicate to that task. How do you do it. I can make cgminer work in windows if i copy some command lines. Does the baby jet need anything special. Will cgminer detect it?
Any update on the firmware release?
+1
My BJ is still unstable. Needing a reboot every 48h or so. Cgminer 3.11 has proven to be the most stable so far but this baby(jet) sure is high maintenance. Hoping the FW update + cgminer 3.12 will resolve the stability issues.
MinePeon Version: 0.2.4.3hf8
Miner Version: cgminer3.11.0hf1
HashFast Firmware: ebaa1a85
Are you using a pc or pi?
A) You can wrassle with the raspberry pi and follow HF engineer's advice, and I have no reason to think it isn't good, or;
B) You can getchyerself an old PC, the stock version of cgminer 3.11, switch the driver with Zadig (easy), and with a tad of patience hotplugging it a couple of times, unless you have a bad machine, you will be up and running, STABLY. You can also probably overclock it, depending on your huevos and chips.
Ok I am new to all of this. It took me a week to figure out how to make a bat file. (every one assumes you already know things) I have a baby jet and it is my first mining machine. the raspberry pi consistently try's to kill its self. I had flipped the lock switch on the SD card and that let it run for about a week. Now i come home and it is dead and i cant revive it. Hashfast takes about a week to get back to me and then they say they will look into it.
So what do you mean by (switch the driver with Zadig (easy)) and can someone give me step by step directions so i can run this baby jet with a pc (I do not know any Lunix). If i could get the pc working i would put the pi in the microwave and bake it!
Ps now I am wandering if the baby jet is dead? The pi looks like it is working but it cant find the baby jet. how do you tell if the baby jet is dead or just sleeping. Can the pi kill the Baby Jet?
After running for three days I came home and the Baby jet was not working 
I think it has something to do with the sd card because the geen light for the sd card on the rasbary does not come on. What should i do. PS I am not vary computer savy
