New firmware, no longer doorstop?

Yes!  They whistle and its maddening.

I have 20 of these units.  They all have been working fine since they arrived.   Loud.  Not as efficient or powerful as the S9s, but readily available (at least when I got them).   Always better to buy and S9, but if those are not available - these are good.    The biggest drawback with these miners is lack of API or root access to configure them using mining management software.   No regrets.

I'm glad you got it sorted out.  I've not seen that problem with AntPool before, in fact after I did a software reset - it was the default AntPool server that tipped me off to the problem with my pool settings (litecoinpool requiring you to add workers in advance of mining with them).

Okay, so mystery solved.   I stupidly ruled out the pool as a problem, since all my other miners were able to access the same pool (litecoinpool).

I ended up doing a software reset through the GUI and then saw the L3 online and mining at antpool.   
I reconfigured my pools and it mysteriously went offline with the solid green light again.   
So, I switched to a different pool altogether (viaBTC) and it came online.   

So the solid green light appears to have something to do with the pool locking out my miners. 

Here is what I see repeating in the Kernel log.   I checked three of them and they all looked like this.  

Its complaining about Temp Data Failed and no pools being available - but these are exactly the same pool settings I am using on other miners that are working.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

10 of my 30 L3s won't mine - since Nicehash went down.  They have a solid green light, the one that blinks when things are operating normally.   Has anyone seen this before?

These ten stopped mining when Nicehash went down and didn't switch to the next pool, instead they were stuck at 0.00 hash rate.    I have 20 other L3s that all switched to the next pool.

I reconfigured the pools (removing nicehash) and soft rebooted them.  Still would not start mining, "Socket connect failed: Connection refused".   So, I hard booted five of them - now every single one of those five has a solid green light, ping up, gui is responsive, but will not mine.   The status page says "Socket connect failed: Connection refused".

These 10 bad L3s are split between two different facilities miles apart, with different internet, power and cooling.    I have five down at each facility.  The thing they have in common is that all ten of these were received from bitmain in the past 30 days.   None of these were being overclocked.  

I also re-flashed the firmware on one of them - it didn't help.  Same thing.

I have to drive to the other facility to see if the non-hardbooted L3s also have a solid green light.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Patrike - also, feature request:  in Summary you added the Hostname/IP.  Please make this clickable to launch an external browser.  It would be sooooo helpful when managing large farms.

Thanks!

Yes, it is running Cgminer.  But unfortunately they have not given us root ssh password to be able to tweak the cgminer.conf.   The only settings available in the GUI related to CGMiner are setting up the pools.

Toptek - I'm not sure what you are asking or suggesting.   This is an ASIC machine, a bitcoin miner that I am hoping AwesomeMiner can support so that it can at least be viewed or managed through the GUI.  Patrike asked earlier for someone to post the results of API Report in AwesomeMiner.   

Thanks

I just wanted to add that my latest eBit came with DHCP enabled.   It popped up on 192.168.1.x network and leased an address from the router.   Wireshark not needed.

Hi Patrike,

Here is the API Report for an eBit 9t miner.   It uses CgMiner.   It does not have a configuration option to enable anything API related.

Version: 4.2.1
API command: config

API command: summary

API command: privileged

API command: devs

API command: pools

API command: coin

API command: notify

API command: stats

Did AM ever get support for the eBit miners?   

Do Consplit and Shapeshift work well together?   I had coins get lost when sending from ViaBTC to Shapeshift.

I can tell you that I had a lot of the same thoughts, but everything worked out after speaking with Lynn on Skype.  I find its best to get her on Skype in early morning hours (business hours China).   They did deliver 20 units to me.   One unit was lost in transit and they are sending out a replacement.

Anyone have any luck getting ssh credentials?  I've been asking Lynn without any success.  Maybe if more people keep asking her, she will feel some pressure to get them.

A few of my S9s will randomly stop reporting stats to AwesomeMiner.   When I go to their overview page (/index.html) or Miner Status page (/cgi-bin/minerStatus.cgi) - they are blank.  However, looking at my pool stats I can see these machines are still mining just fine.

Today, two machines doing this show File System Version Fri Jul 21 05:15:25 EDT 2017 and a third one shows Mon Jul 3 22:50:58 EDT 2017.   

It seems like the web interface on the S9s makes API calls to get the information and the API calls are not returning, so the pages Overview and Status pages are empty.   The log pages show information.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? 

A reboot fixes them.

You need to Skype them during business hours in China for fastest results.   But, they do respond.  They have been in Dubai per Lynn.

My D3s have a tendency for a hashboard to drop to xxxxxxxxxxx then return to oooooooooo which causes the difficulty to move around all day.  In turn it causes AwesomeMiner to show dramatic movements in $ per day estimates on the dashboard screen.   It is not an AwesomeMiner problem.

I concur with @unknownbtc - my D3s are showing a lot of fluctuations in difficulty with one hash board going xxxxxxxxxxxxxx then returning to oooooooooooooooooo.
