Both Windows and Linux. You use the --http-port flag to set the getwork port. By default it's 8332 I believe, but you could use anything as long as the blade uses the same.

Basically start BFG as you normally would, add --http-port 8332, and point your blades to the server running BFG using 8332 and they'll connect up. For blade setup make sure each blade has a unique worker name, password doesn't matter.

Question:
is it possible that NMC implementation could have a bug?
I have the exact same hashing power on another pool, also merged mining, I am doing the same amounts of BTC but the amount of NMC is about half here.
nothing that takes my sleep away, NMC worth very little today, just wondering if it is something wrong there or just bad luck in nmc the last 3 or 4 days.
 

I just hope this nearly 10 hour block (and counting) doesn't turn up stale after all is said and done...

3) Is the stratum server suppose to spam so much?  i am getting a nonstop stream of spam with below text, is there anything wrong with it? i am using all default settings. 

In these circumstances, i think the best thing to do is mail 50% of your miners to me

Seriously, I guess keep hashing, after all - your systems must be getting the work, to do the hashing.

EDIT: The DDoS seems to have got much worse, and I'm not getting work now either - so I guess I don't know what to do =/

pool is down again...  

     I do not think cooling is concerned. Otherwise I do not understand much criticism for cooling. My blade is cooled with a single ASUS fan of 12 cm forward. The fan blows cold air on the right side of the blade. The blade is in the vertical position (standing on their part with the cooler). BLADE is overclocked cool as a cucumber. I can not believe that such a stable made.I think even my overclocked BLADE can operate without a fan.

Not working with escrow got me a rep better than all of yours, honestly we all know you guys are just envious of my rep, aside from these retards for NO reason bashing it, its still one of the best -

I'm also running two proxies at the same time, but I dont think it has anything to do with the proxy. Cgminer was connected to the same proxy and was able to change to its backup pool, but the asicminer blade didnt.

Happened to me on Slush's pool. I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the blade as I've let it fail numerous times with the same results.

I just got a shipping confirmation in my email.

Did I get forgotten about or was that a coincidence after posting my message?

Yup, or a $60 card.

Has anyone had an issue with their blade(s) where they'll mine for a while (minutes or hours) and reboot on a regular basis?  Both of mine will run for an hour or so, stop hashing for a couple minutes, and reboot (triggers the failsafe).  It's great that they reset automatically, but I'm losing a few minutes of hashing each hour.  I'm running them through slush's stratum proxy and they maintain ethernet communication the entire time (the web page stays accessible and they're connected to the proxy).

I tried moving one to another pool (under another instance of the proxy using a different port) and it still does the same thing, although they now reset at different times.  It seems like a stratum proxy or pool issue, but I'd expect it to pick back up after a disconnect (if that's what's happening).  When the blades go down for a couple minutes, my GPUs keep hashing (although they aren't using the proxy).

I'm going to start digging into it, but I wanted to check to see if someone else ran into the same thing.

Saudibull refuses to work under escrow, beware for scammers.

He claims to be doing trades for the sake of reputation, wtf?
I am here to sell him my BTC as a form of business, which he refuses.

He wants me to send first & or claims he is the form of escrow (lol).
