How does the mining work? Are we able to mine where we want or is it set up to mine wherever you're mining and we get a payout?

The only reason I jumped ship is because I wanted to try out multipool to see if it was actually profitable. So far, it's only been mining BTC so I don't see a reason to mine there. I'm going to get my min payout and head back to eligius, since I like how honest y'all are.

So how do fractional shares work? Sadly I only have about 0.57 BTC currently but I'd love to get in on this.

So, I run BFGMiner at 0981 and I get hardware errors. Funny thing here though, I unplug the ones that are having hardware errors, switch them out with others that aren't, meaning I switched the ports they were in, and I get no more hardware errors from either of them. Weird. I still have one miner that runs slower than dog poo though =[. I think I might have a bad miner, sadly.

Is anyone else having a problem where one of their miners is accepting a share every couple of minutes? All of my other miners are running find, but this one has only accepted one share in the past 2 minutes.

So one of my miners is accepting very little blocks, while the rest are cranking away like mad men. Is there anything to do to fix this?


EDIT: So I've got only that miner plugged into the hub, and it's been about 3 minutes. It has only accepted one block for 1k/4 diff. Is this just a bad miner?

Another EDIT: 6 minutes, and it's accepted 4 blocks.

I am running 6 U1's  on a Anker 9 port USB 3.0 hub.    No issues what so ever with power.  I would test to see if I could run more on it,  but only have 6 U1's.

This is the hub  http://www.amazon.com/Charging-Adapter-VL812-B2-Chipset-Firmware/dp/B005NGQWL2/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1389657073&sr=1-1&keywords=anker+9+port

I was looking at that one, and saw the power supply is the same as the one I bought, but mine has an extra port, so I went with it instead. I guess we'll see if it's any good

Okay, so I bought this usb hub: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMN2OBU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Can anyone explain to me or just tell me(either one works, but I'd love to know how to calculate it myself) how many U1s I can run on it all overclocked at 0A81?

Yes, they are all using USB and so you can have them all on the same hub.

The AntMiners get hot (and i'm overclocking them to 2.0Gh/s each), i've put some distance between them with extension cables and stuck them near a draughty cold window. Now I can touch them without melting off my fingerprints Cheesy

Get a USB fan to cool them down.

+1 to that!
Mine were too hot too touch without a fan (way too many "hot potato" moments), but with an arctic cooling breeze fan pointed at them, they're practically cold to the touch now! (each one at 2GH/s and VERY close together on the hub)

! I have one of those fans on my USB hub with 9 antminers. Also clocked at 2GHs, but they're pretty hot when I touch them Sad

I have mine near a window with an Arctic Breeze USB Fan on them and they're cool to the touch

What USB Hub are you guys running your u1's on? I'm currently running 8 U1's on a Rosewill but I'd like to go to 10 soon and I don't know if this hub can handle the power draw. Any suggestions?

I'm using the new bfgminer that was posted here(Thank you forever, btw) and one of my miners is getting a bunch of HW errors. The problem is it's always a different one whenever I cycle the mining software. This happened with both cgminer and BFGMiner. Does anyone have any ideas on this problem?

Its probably the same stick with errors, the software allocates the table positions in sequence of power up, not port number. So each start up is different.

As an update, I went ahead and switched out all the miners to just random different ports, making sure each one is on a different port. Currently, I get no hardware errors on them, but one of them has only accepted 34 shares in 8.5 hours. I'm using eclipseMC and I'm not sure how to have the pool utilize my full potential as it's only displaying between 5-8 GH/s whenever I look at it's displayed hash rate.

New Update(Not that many of you care, but maybe someone's having a similar issue): I took out every stick, including block erupters, from my hub, and made sure to hit every port in the hub. It re-installed the silicon labs driver on some of them, so that leads me to believe the driver wasn't on all of them which is why I was getting so many issues.

Mixing devices in one session will continue to be difficult until the drivers are fully implemented.
Run one session for your erupters.
Then plug in your U1 sticks then start a second session for them.

nwoolls has done a great job with BFGminer but, until LukeJr builds then into the formal release, there may still be conflicts.

Currently everything is running smoothly after I did the whole unplug everything and plug them back in to make sure I hit every port

EclipseMC Displaying lower hash rate?
by
captplanet
on 10/01/2014, 13:36:57 UTC
Hey all,

So I'm a bit more educated now on bitcoin mining, but still noobish. My question is this: Why is bfgminer showing me one hash rate, but the eclipsemc web page is showing me a lower hash rate? Currently I'm capable of doing about 9.6GH/s, but EclipseMC is only showing me 6.2GH/s. Is there something I need to tweak in order to get Eclipse to use my full hash rate?

Okay, that issue was fixed by switching to the modified bfgminer posted in the tips and tricks for the U1s. My next question is: How do I stop all the hardware errors of ant3? Is it possibly due to the software being in its infancy? Because I notice it's just that one and it's sitting next to a window with 14deg weather outside and one of those arctic breeze usb fans on it, so I doubt it's overheating. EDIT: I did just figure out that everytime it's restarted, it's a different miner that's got the errors, while the other stay pristine.

Antminer running slow

Hey all,

So I'm up and running with my antminers(4), however AMU0, and it's always AMU0 no matter what order I plug them in, is running slowly. It will pick up for a bit then die down again. Is there a reason for this? my current cgminer argument list is: D:\cgminer\cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o stratum+tcp://us1.eclipsemc.com:3333 -u a***** -p ** --bmsc-freq 0981 --usb :4

And I've attached a screenshot

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank in advance!
