Ok will try this tonight.

Got it on the #xnsub. Thanks

If you want to use without a proxy, you can set scan time to 15, I had a small improvement in performance, but it's better to check and tell you if the difference is between 120 and 15 for nicehash.


I forgot to mention the main advantage of the proxy. XnSub On. http://imgur.com/qX3dbD6

Hello. I want to share the way of mining on nicehash.
First go herehttps://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=asic and follow the instructions.
Now go to the address of our asic, I have it 192.168.1.254. http://imgur.com/a/bfg9W
Where POOL 1 # ADD computer name where the stratum proxy is running.
Now we need the PuTTY program.
To connect to the asic controller. Need such a setting. http://imgur.com/0MF6w4g
login pi password raspberry.
Now enter the commands cd /var/www and ls to view the contents of the folder.http://imgur.com/tlCP6FF

Now enter the command nano run.sh to fix the settings for mining. http://imgur.com/gN2RMS6  http://imgur.com/2D97frF
Attention when changing anything via the web interface, all these settings are overwritten, even if you press the start or stop button, these settings will be overwritten.
After changing the settings, press ctrl + x and enter.
After changing the settings, enter the command bash run.sh or restart the miner by simply turning off the electricity. http://imgur.com/uHdHRRW

After all these settings I got this way, so I'm very much pleased.

Try reading the setup guide here https://www.eastshore.xyz/tour/ . It's the 3rd from the bottom in the menu on the left.

Oh, and make sure you give each miner a different IP address. It's 192.168.1.254 by default but you need to change it to something unique that nothing else on your network is using.

HTH

Cheers

Probably none of NH buyers mines LTC. As it's one of least profitable scrypt coins.

I got a reply from Nicehash.

The told me to add this into password field.

d=32768

Most of the time it can sustain and maintain very close to 280MHs.

However, it does resets -- this is expected as NH has buyers will mine not only LTC.

I tried doing this. I do think it has to do with my ip, gateway something simple i am missing but this did not work.
thanks. I could really use a step by step directions in setting up this miner. I found several sites and links but none of them have helped me out and the innosilicon team pointed me to this thread

Yes lol, that was the 1st issue I had. Figured that out quickly

Did you plug the chip into the controller?  It took me about 30 minute of wondering why nothing was working to realize that I actually had to insert the memory card into the controller board.  It should be in one of the bags that was in the boxes.

Can you check with ipconfig if you using correct gateway. Also might change miner IP adress to something that isn't 254 as it's sometimes used  by other devices.

Yes, I contacted Innosilicon and they pointed me towards this thread. I have spent days trying to figure it out. I ordered 2 of them and am having the same trouble with both, I think its something simple that I am missing. The message I get when I click Real-time monitoring is : Error getting device list: ERR: socket connect(0) failed. Is there an updated I need to do some how. I have tried changing my ip address. I am very novice with computers and my 1st experience with command propmt and discovering how computers worked was when I had 4 Sapphire r9 290s, then 2 alcheminers (which were super point and click), and now these. I am learning but I have hit a road block. I need a step by step directions with this, i couldn't find any website or links that have given me information to fix my problem
Thanks

You pushing correct butons "set network" for IP's and "start" for pool address and etc.

Hello, I had a graphic card miner and 2 Alcheminers. However, I seem to be having trouble figuring out how to get my A4 mining. Everytime I click real time monitor it says "error in socket" I cannot figure out how to get it mining, it will not even register on a mining pool. can someone PM me and help me with a step by step? I browsed on here but did not seem to find the answers I was looking for. Settings are 192.168.1.254, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.1.1, 8.8.8.8
Thanks

Thanks for your update here, Jarrid.
Since we opened source to you and Nicehash, we would like you guys to work together for bettering the performance of A4 on Nicehash.

We tried to add "extronance" subscribe into the code of combiner but no luck.
That is why we decide to seek help from you. And we believe in you.

Till now we didn't have a certain progress from Nicehashing. We know it's not an easy job.

Guys thanks for all your support here. We will let you know if any further progress about this.

I understand you've been unable to duplicate this issue and I know you haven't been very active here so I have outlined everything for you below including posts from Mjgraham experiencing and reporting the same issue, in the same timeframe.  

I have yet to find someone that can produce a screen capture illustrating B3 A4 running 2.0.2 that can show any number of Get Failures other than 0 because if 1 Get Failure is observed, the entire Raspberry Pi reboots itself. I challenge you to find me someone that can show you a screen capture that shows more than 1 Get Failure on a B3 A4 running 2.0.2. So far I can't find any evidence of that but I can show you screen captures below of my A2's running for more than 89 Days without a reboot and have multiple Get Failures. Get Failures are not always network issues on the client side and the entire system shouldn't reboot itself every time one happens. This doesn't happen in the A2 but it does happen in the A4 on multiple networks.

Mjgraham has reported the same issue

And a few e-mails exchanged with you all directly.


To date here is what I have done:

• I have replaced the Pi
• I have replaced the SD Card with a new one containing a fresh 2.0.2 image
• I have had this same thing occur on a totally different network/location with a 3rd A4 I purchased.

What I have not done:

• I have not yet made a video and uploaded it to youtube that demonstrates this issue in real time while simultaneously logged into the Pi to see the reboot as it occurs -- This video is my next thing to do after I get done with some international business travel coming up. I will be able to provide this video in a few weeks when I have time to make it. Hopefully this issue will be identified and fixed by the time I get back. I've been dealing with it for well over a month now

Here is an example of an A4 with 1 Get Failure on Prohash - January 19th, 2017 -- Immediately after the Pi Rebooted itself. This was with my original Pi and original SD Card running 2.0.2.


Here is an example of an A4 with 1 Get Failure on LitecoinPool - February 19th, 2017 -- Immediately after the Pi Rebooted itself. This is with my new Pi and new SD Card running 2.0.2 on a different network.


Here is an example of an A4 with 1 Get Failure on Nicehash - February 19th, 2017 -- Immediately after the Pi Rebooted itself. This is with my new Pi and new SD Card running 2.0.2 on a different network.


Here is one of my A2's running for 89 days on Prohash on a different network, 60 Get Failures but not a single reboot


Here is one of my A2's running for 109 days on Prohash on a different network, 82 Get Failures but not a single reboot

It will be interesting to see what they come up with, I have contacted Inno and them about the drivers, I guess I am glad they let someone look at it, I was hoping to get a shot but oh well. I updated my boards to B3 myself and was hoping for a better luck, which over all they are better but still not good. I have went and patched the cgminer binary, for some reason no one has been able to tell me was why the cgminer took so long to run if you just started it, turns out there is a sleep(9) first thing in main, why is it there , who knows changed it to a 0 and works just fine, got wondering why ./cgminer --help took 10 seconds to run.

Another thing is the reboot on slightest problem, I changed the /sbin/shutdown binary to just do a sudo pkill cgminer, the only thing is you have to run cgminer command line and in a while loop but it restarts, but normally when it dies like this you have one more more hash boards that are going to act up ... so the next thing was to solder a wire to the MCU reset and tie them to a pin on the rPi that hardware resets them as well, seems to help some but still testing..

Only being about to poke around in assembly is a real bummer, unless there is just a simple answer everyone has overlooked I wonder if it is going to be easily fixable, sure it will mine LTC and other slow block coins one at time.

I just wish a bit more thought had went into some of this, I wish you could specify the voltage per board not as an over all, most of my units just need one board to have a little more but when you do them all you are wasting some power on the others.

Yes please! what are the settings? Nicehash??? Prohashing is disappointing, I have my hashrate stable at like 250mhz but am lucky to get 5 dollars a machine daily! very disappointing:(

Hello Innosilicon, what is the update from Nicehash? What settings should I be using suitable for Nicehash? Thanks

Hi all,

Long time no see.

Here is the report of 3 topics:

Global delivery of Jig:

1. USA
There are 10 persons on the list in the USA. Till now the Jig has helped 5 persons flash their boards directly to the B3.
There is delay for the delivery due to one person's long holiday. But we have asked him to ship as soon as possible.

Also a 2nd Jig will be shipped from UK recently. And a 3rd Jig is on the way to the USA. So the update of B1 and B2 boards will be finished soon.

2. Europe- 90% finished, only one person is left behind

3. Canada - 90% finished


Performance improvement on Prohashing

A customer has shared his experience with us to have better performance with A4 on PH. Here is the trick - > input "d=32768 h=50 g=off n=1001" into the PW area on the setting page of A4(pay attention the quote should be included when input, note 1001 is the PW of the worker) - > the average hashrate of A4 can reach to around 260Mhs

We have tested with dozens of miners for several weeks and this trick helps.

Performance improvement on Nicehash

We have shipped a test miner to Nicehash and opened source to them to help improve the performance of A4 on NH. We will let you know the update.

All in all, thanks for your sharing experience here and help the whole community. A4 runs stable on sigle coin pool, only need improvement on PH and NH. We are working in process now.
We hope everyone can enjoy great revenue with A4. Also we want to improve our A4 better and better.

Thanks for your understanding and support!
