When the cube turns on, it clicks correctly, the two green lights are on, and the red light is on as well.

What is my problem?

What do you mean "clicks correctly"?  They're not supposed to click when coming on - if they do that, it's usually a sign that there's not enough power on the 12V rail.  I had an 850 that couldn't run two cubes at once without clicking and resetting.  I switched to a better 750 that could run two at once and no clicking or resetting.  I've had seven different cubes, all ran at high clock, and none clicked unless power was not up to snuff.

I thought the relay was supposed to click once when it turns on?

And then if it clicks again it turns itself off.

My cubes have been running okay.

The five of them were running well, then one of the cubes started doing the reset problem.

In addition to that, one of my cubes that has been running flawlessly just up and randomly died today.

Everything was 00000000000000s but today I came home to all XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

I unplugged it, reseated everything, and had 0000000000000000s again.

However after being plugged in and hashing for about 2 minutes, it just went right back to XXXXXXXXXXXXX.

I'm running http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Professional-Series-Modular-HX850/dp/B0090I9W66/ for two cubes. It hasn't been a problem at all and that seems like a pretty high quality PSU.

When the cube turns on, it clicks correctly, the two green lights are on, and the red light is on as well.

What is my problem?

Do we know how to get a cube to solo mine something like Zetacoin without using BFG Miner?

I think you can do it with this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=162788.0

Yeah... I saw that post earlier...

so.much.work.

Plus I don't have one of these, "ubuntu 12.10 32bit linux server install".

DNS doesn't matter if your using IP addresses, nor does the gateway if your using a local net proxy.  

You seem "in the know".

So far, I've only been able to solo mine other SHA-256 coins with a cube by using BFG Miner and the --http-port #### option.

Is it even possible to use stratum proxy for solo mining?

Also, I've tried just using the cube by itself but it won't communicate with the wallet by setting the "Pool ports" to the rpcport in the wallet .conf file. Any suggestions? (I've probably asked this question about 3-5 times on this thread and once in its own thread, but people just said "point the cube at the wallet" which obviously so far has not worked.)

Cube's need a stratum proxy since they use the "get work" protocol; my understanding is... a stratum proxy is only used for pooled mining.  They don't link to your wallet, you register your wallet address as the "send to, pay to, or something..." so that when you pool mine and get to a specific threshold, say 1.0 bitcoin, it automatically sends it to your registered wallet address.  Solo mining is a little impractical unless you invested in a Neptune (or a few of them).  I'd recommend you look for a pool that you'd like to join.  Some of the popular ones are Slush's pool; which you need a stratum proxy with... or Eligius's pool; which you can mine direct using "GBT Host: gbt.mining.eligius.st Port: 9337".

Eligius has a great graph that shows your effort via a "Hash Graph".

Here is an example of Slush's pool:



Here's some pools you can research:

I think you misunderstood my question

solo mine other SHA-256

I'm not trying to solo mine bitcoin. I'm trying to solo mine other coins like Tigercoin or Zetacoin or something like that.

Do we know how to get a cube to solo mine something like Zetacoin without using BFG Miner?

Well sadly it finally happened, I've got a cube that turns on with solid green and solid red, and it will start to hash, but eventually it will just stop communicating over the network and will go to the RED led being completely off.

Any suggestions?

I have five cubes all running on the same mining stratum proxy on the same getwork port. None of the other 5 are showing this problem, and this is something that just started happening recently.

Also, I've tried running solo mining with the cubes and I currently can't get it working without using the --http-port #### option. Additionally, no matter what I try, I can't get solo mining to work with just using the cube (no mining software no proxy) or solo mining with the proxy. (Solo mining Sha-256 altcoins not bitcoin I'm not stupid.)

Found my problem, it was the power supply.

The Corsair GS 800 has this annoying attribute where it will go into "power saving" mode randomly and stop supplying power to the cube.

I bought another Corsair HX 850 yesterday and hooked it up this morning and I've had no issues so far.

I hope someone can help me out on this.  Huh

Also, you're going to get a lot faster hashrate if you use stratum mining proxy with the following:

mining_proxy.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333 -gp 8333 -q

For Primary and Secondary DNS I would recommend using OpenDNS instead.
Primary DNS: 208.67.220.220
Secondary DNS: 208.67.222.222

Also is your Gateway really 0.0.0.0?

run ipconfig in a command prompt and make sure your Default Gateway actually says 0.0.0.0.

So, I threw down a deposit and then about 12 hours later immediately got a bad feeling about it and asked for a refund.

It took about 36 hours but they eventually did refund me in Bitcoin.

For those people that have pledged a lot of coin, good luck to you. It's a scary pre-order world out there.

Coingen Might Want to Rethink Default Release Options

http://coingen.bluematt.me/status.html

I'm basically just sitting here solo mining all of these new altcoins that are randomly created. It's kind of funny actually.

If anyone is interested in 5000 MarsCoin or 2000 JesusCoin let me know.

I get that Coingen has a private option, but this is pretty freaking funny that I can mine this quickly. I know that the creators will just fork the blockchain, I just thought it was kinda funny.

This was the biggest clusterfuck launch.

Agreed, I was supportive of the author until today. Now it looks like Nyancoin or Kittycoin is the way to go.
I like how you favour a vaporware, non-existant coin over this current one. 

then again, it was the biggest clusterfuck. 

Haha right? It just goes to show how nasty this launch was.

Yay got some Catcoins in my wallet :3

What node did you use to get your wallet actually catching up to the rest of the blockchain?
