I can not connect to the pool with the following settings

./minerd -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://176.31.126.179:3333 -O user.1:123
centos os, please help

[root@DS2121 cpuminer]# ./minerd -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://176.31.126.179:3333 -O user.1:123
Try `minerd --help' for more information.
[root@DS2121 cpuminer]#

Geesh! How lazy! LOOK! READ! DUPLICATE AND APPLY! How lame!
Under 'help' - 'getting started'...
follow this format...
minerd -a --scrypt -t 6 -s 4 -o stratum+tcp://leo.coinranch.org:3333 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword
good luck!

its not working for me when i click on RunMe.bat just a box appears and disapprear in 0.1 secounds, yes i follow all the steps but still its not working, any suggestions ?  Huh

There is a syntax error in your command line... watch out for extra or missing spaces - a common mistake...
Otherwise consult the help file (commands) that came with the program...

Re: BFGMiner 5.2.0: Zeus X6 Lightening PSU Issue - MINING KILLER!
by
wolfey2014
on 19/07/2015, 16:31:30 UTC
Hello,
has anyone had any trouble with driving their Zeus miners with the latest version of BFGminer? I just upgraded (not so far) from ver' 4.2.1 to 5.2.0 which also uses slightly different syntax in the command line.
I am mining via nicehash.com and with version 4.2.1 there are no issues when starting or running the mining program.
But when I start mining with ver' 5.2.0, my psu's overload and quit!
It seems that 5.2.0 is causing a huge power surge at startup where previous versions are totally fine and cause NO issues at all!
Anyone got a fix for this issue?
I'm sure it's a programming error somewhere in the startup code. Or are there any commands I am missing?
I used the command line suggestions for ASIC miners in the readme-ASIC txt and all commands are correct.
I don't see anything in the commands to cause or prevent this startup overload issue.
The reason I am trying to use 5.2.0 is that nicehash wants me to use their extra nonce command #/xnsub command for better efficiency and I guess a few more accepts per cycle than without it.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions you may have in advance!


Sorry guys, here's the command line I am using....

bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333/#xnsub -u yeahtryit -p d=1024 --set zeusminer:clock=151 -S zeusminer:\\.\COM106 -S zeusminer:\\.\COM222 -S zeusminer:\\.\COM151 --set zeusminer:chips=640

Some names have been changed to protect my ars from hackers Wink

Maybe this is why I do own and operate a Data Center with my own mining rigs.

We pay 25 USD per Gridseed Blade and making per unit around $1 currently per day in profit after electric costs. Try to beat that.

One thing you have to learn is upfront Investment with ROI if you don't do this right you pay out of your own pocket.



Again, you're just trying to be right! My client's Zues miners hit ROI month$ ago! It'$ ALL PROFIT BABY! SORRY BUT YOU CANNOT BEAT THAT!
Oh, and there is no way that 5.2MHS will earn $1 per day! Don't be ridiculous! You mean more like 40c to 50c per day if that! And that is IF You can keep them from overheating TRYING to keep up with ANY ZEUS miner running at STOCK SPEED!

You still don't have a clue LOL.  Waste your money and time on Zeus while we go with Gridseeds which now are SFarts. Cant' wait for the new chip to come into our labs.

You need to learn how to READ, fool! The comparison is between GS Blade 5.2MH vs 5MHS per card of which there are 2 per heat sink = 10MHS WITH ZERO MODS! I LOVE the 5 chip pods! Started out with them. Anyway....NO ARGUMENT POSSIBLE THERE! KEEP TRYING TO BE RIGHT! GOOD LUCK!

My client tells me you had an outage this afternoon. Does it count against anyone's profit for that period of time? I would think that since the back end was up for most of the time? all contributing miners are covered, correct?

All I can say is ,,, JUNK! Why is anyone wasting their time on these way under performing stable overclocking wannabe not so well thought out or engineered rush to market quick made crap by GrimeSeed? Magic Black Smoke makers! POOF! Cheesy
I loved the 5 chippers. Had a ton of them, very stable little things. But the blades were made to run at their recommended speed for a reason! Because they are generally not stable at all when overclocked! I mean, look at the mess of junk you have to throw on them just to keep them from going in to melt down in the first place...
If you can get your money back because the seller mus-represented it as stable, do so.
Then don't waste any more time or money on GS Blades. Try the Zeus miners. Much more bang for the buck and very stable machines, at least the ones that were made and wired right in the first place when they were brand new!
If you are really in to experimenting when them, then go for it. But I think you're wasting your time.
Good luck!


Zeus Huh Really ??  We got stable 400 units of Gridseed 6 MHz tuned as shown. And each unit consume less than 100 Watt.
Zeus is history and Gridseed is still kicking. SFards.com if you don't believe it check it out.
[/quote]

Used Zeus cards are GREAT in comparison to the blades, any day! Zeus gives way more bang for the buck where hash rate per $ goes right out of the box and do not require tedious and wasteful modifications to squeeze more hashes out of! PERIOD!
Boast all you want. Blades BURN UP when overclocked. They NEVER were worth the money from day one!

Hi, I bought a Blade which is modified with 35v 220uf capacitor, 43k ohm resistor 0.1 +/-, 2 custom heat sinks attached on the rear of each power board, passive heatsinks on the all Mosfets and chokes.

I'm using a 750w PSU to power it as well as 2 stock unmodified Gridseed blades. I only had it running for a couple hours when the PSU shut down. I looked at the modified blade and there are scorch marks between the Barrel connector and USB port, the chip that visibly appears to be fried is the one between the USB and Barrel port labelled AFR26.

Pics of the blades below:







As the mosfets and chokes, etc all have heatsinks on them I can't see what else is fried from a quick inspection. Would this have been caused by overclocking too much? I set the clocks between 1000mhz and 1038mhz which the seller said they run stable at.

I can do a bit of soldering so if anyone can guide me on where I can get the components I can probably fix it myself. Also do you recommend I change anything else that hasn't been modified to improve it, i.e barrel connector, heatsink, etc.

Also one of the barrel power connectors from the PSU has its plastic melted slightly but the connector itself looks fine and there are no burn marks on it.

All I can say is ,,, JUNK! Why is anyone wasting their time on these way under performing stable overclocking wannabe not so well thought out or engineered rush to market quick made crap by GrimeSeed? Magic Black Smoke makers! POOF! Cheesy

Sure,,,  minerdoc --gc3355-detect --freq=1150 --url=stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3333 --userpass=1Bv4Eqtes3TgDnGsHCY3FwcV5r3zu6vaZp:d=512

This is for the cpuminer with overclocking enabled.
Watch the freq= setting. If your miners are not set up for overclocking, just set it to freq=800 or freq=950 if it can take it.
Enjoy! Wink

if you are using plain minerd without overclocking, use minerd instead of minerdoc and set freq=850 to start with.
good luck!

Look at the .bat file / example in your minerd program file folder..... it could also be listed as *.bat.txt but it's there and shows you exactly how to enter the correct pool address...
There are several pools you can join. This is up to you to find and decide which one you want to mine.

by

Hello fellow hashers!
I'm running bfgminer 4.1.0 now on some miners that require bfgminer to be able to support extranonce and the #xnsub  command.
I'm running them on nicehash for a friend who has a Zeus Lightning X6 farm.
I found out that 4.1.0 doesn't support extranonce algo so I looked for and found bfg 4.7.0 but it's all convoluted and not telling me how to set the command line to work correctly.
I tried using the bat file from 4.1.0 but alas, it just spits dummy!
Can anyone share a working bat file for 4.7.0 so I can get going with the latest version that supports extranonce.
I found 5.1.0 but there doesn't seem to be a version compiled for win32 nor does it say if it supports the extranonce algo required by the NiceHash/WestHash pool.
I can only run versions already compiled for win32.
Also....
Have they combined the ability to run Zeus and GridSeed 5 chips from the same program/gui yet?
Any help or useable advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've been considering selling off my 24 Professionally OverClocked GridSeed 5 chippers. They've hashed faithfully 24/7 for months and months!
They all run stably at 1150MHz producing close to 500KH/s each. I've overclocked hundreds of these for customers over time.
I see others selling them on eBay for $12 to $30 each on average. Some being offered for twice that much which I find rather ridiculous!
Some offer free shipping, some don't. If they sell for a low price, they make up for it in the shipping price. What a racket! Eh?
I might throw in a 1050W psu I don't use anymore which will more than cover the groups' power requirements.
I will also include the USB Hubs with wall warts and 3 foot USB cables as well as custom made power cable sets.
Say all 24 units in working condition for $675 plus shipping. $600 for pods, $75 for the psu. Payment in U$D only. Will ship overseas but you pick up the shipping, terrifs, taxes, fees, bribes etc. Wink
I have 2 blown units also if you want them but I might keep them for souvenirs and or paper weights Wink
18 are Aluminum. 6 of them are Gold.
Cooling fans are all rigged for 5V ultra quiet operation. They are so quiet you could sleep in the same room with them. They couldn't even wake your baby up! They really don't even need a fan to cool them if you design your farm right.
I'll even brush them clean of dust!
Let me know.

I really do love you! i was able to setup my grid seed. I went from some block erupter & duel miner usb to grid seeds.

Had alot more trouble with the grid seed not due to quality just lack of understanding but after about an hr of searching and god knows how long trying to do it myself. Found this thread and i setup it fairly easy thanks so much. A+ guide

As one of the many Authors of this thread, I thank you for your kind words! We ALL appreciate the kudos!

Re: X6500 Custom FPGA Miner
by
wolfey2014
on 08/03/2015, 22:02:22 UTC
Hello,
I see no one's posted here since last year...
I recently decided to look into FPGA's again to see if anyone had managed to produce either a DIY or commercial version.
I saw the X6500 guys tried and probably sold a few for mining SHA-256 when it was still viable but that petered out pretty fast during the last 'adjustment' - crash! ...
Since then, has anyone been interested in or looking to re-program the X6500 for Scrypt mining or will that make the chips too power hungry much less capable of hashing at a decent / profitable rate in the first place?
I see the flgamining.com website is still up but there doesn't seem to be any activity since they announced shutting down the operations way back when.
Such a shame too. I really like their design. I mean 400MH/s at less than 15W is still efficient.
I'm still mining Scrypt with my5 chip GridSeeds since electricity is included in the rent Wink. They even still make me a whole dollar per day sometimes! Cheesy
Anyone know of any new FPGA designs in the works or available for us DIY techy's?
Peace!

If you have a DVM handy, unsolder the FB, then test to see if either or both terminals are shorted to ground - DC. If so, FRIED!
If not, maybe it will come back to life. I doubt it though. From the sound of your description, you cooked it! Grin
Try at your own risk etc.

Hey guys! Can I use single 350w 12V 30A power supply for 10 5chip gridseeds in scrypt only mode? Thank you!
(This power supply)

Hi
I presume you are talking about unmodified 5 chip gridseeds?
If so, yes indeed!
Even if they are modified, you should be fine running them with that power supply.
I forget the exact current that the modified units pull each but I have been powering 12 modified GS5 pods with a 25 Amp 12V which provides plenty of overhead, for over a year now without any problems. I've also been safely powering another 13 of them with a 30A power supply for the same period of time so you should be good to go!
But...remember!
What ever happens, you are fully responsible for the results!
God speed!

I need to disable the fans from a Gridseed I have here... Can the wires simply be cut and "sealed" with isolating tape?

Yes!
But try to make sure you can reconnect them later if needs be, although I don't know why it would ever become necessary Wink.
You really only need to cut the positive (+ red) wire. Leave the negative (- black) wire intact. Less work later if you do need to reconnect.
And make sure you do this ONLY while the unit is NOT powered!
And remember, what ever happens as a result is solely your responsibility.
Good luck!
