I've never had issues using MRR as a proxy, but it sure wouldn't hurt to try a direct connection.  Let us know what you find out.

Thanks for that.  I'll keep my eyes peeled for updates on that.

Cheers.

Thank you all for the input, I appreciate it.  I'm not sure why I forgot about Parallelminer, as I ordered power adapters from them recently.

How did you hear about the drop in operating temperature from Canaan?  We run ours at around 35c, so this is news to me too.  Let me know.

Thanks again!

Hello!

I am compiling a list of ASIC distributors and would love some feedback.  So far we've included the Canaan Creative NA distributors which includes BlokForge and MinerWarez.

Who else in North America should I include?  Looking for companies with a proven record of shipping products.  If you know of a company (or are affiliated yourself) please let me know.  If you want to shoot me a private DM, that works, too.

Cheers.

I was about to post the same; these newly released Blake miners have the exact same specs as the Halong counterparts.  Never mind the fact that they look the exactly the same, too.

At this point I wonder if Inno is going to spin off their crypto business.  They build other electronic devices as well, perhaps this is a move to "realign" both brands.

I shot them an email to pick their brain, we'll see if they respond!

Can you set the access control for the API, e.g. specify which IP can write and which can only read?  I didn't see a section in the screenshots that shot a place to input that information.

Cheers.

Looks like there are heat sinks on both sides, you would have to pry them off of whatever adhesive they used.  I would hate to break a new toy.

I can't find a good image on Google to point you towards.  Maybe a screenshot of the advanced setting tab?  I'm running Avalons now or I would post a screen myself.

Cheers.

I know this is a crazy question, but can anyone let me know if this device supports the cgminer API set like the S9 does?

Cheers.

He received it from the manufacturer, as did I.  Why do you feel it's not true?

It pulls air from the single fan.

I don't believe the A8 model has an integrated power supply.  The last Chinese-only version of the A7 apparently did, but I don't see the same verbiage in the description of the A8.  Feel free to correct me.

This will work, just make sure one PSU powers one blade and the other PSU powers the second blade.  DO NOT have two PSUs connected to the same blade.

Correct.  Steve has said that they have sold different models to Asia in the past.  I believe the 761 falls into that category.

I'm glad you did the math for yourself!  It's important to understand how you get paid in any business.

Slush pool has been really great, I wish I had been using it from day one.

Just got an email from Blokforge, a US distributor:


Looks like the A8 will be the next device available outside of China.  I was advised that we would have more details next week regarding pricing and specs.

Cheers.

Slush has been running @ 109% for the last 250 blocks.  It's a great pool and worth your serious consideration.

The 741 has a watchdog running that will reboot the system ~5 minutes if it hasn't sent work or if the ASIC stops responding or if the cgminer API isn't accessible to the local host.  If the machine reboots on voltage of 0, it's likely that the ASIC is dropping a board (or a row of chips) prompting the watchdog to reboot.  Swap your PSU and see if that helps.

That said, have you made any changes to the API addresses in the cgminer config tab?  That one drove me crazy for a day...  127.0.0.1 must have access to the API, default is "W:", but I'm not sure if it needs write access.

Good luck!

I can't find it now, but IIRC they use the data from the last 24 hours.

Do you have them plugged directly into the controller?
