Does anyone have a tube just sitting around gathering dust? I'm interested in getting one more hash board from a tube. Currently have 2 tubes but only 7 hash boards (sent one for rma, but that process is completely stalled). I'm not willing to pay much, but maybe we can work something out and I can help de-clutter your house. Please pm me if interested.

I have 1 board from a prisma available.  I never powered it on. as-is.

Canary, I might take that extra BE controller.  1 out of 2 would not connect to the boards, 1 hashed fine running both tubes for about a month maybe more.  After some power cycling from maintenance, I now cannot get it to interface w/ the boards.  Apart from re-flashing, changing settings, changing ports, etc. do you have any recommendations to get the boards to connect, or should I get the new controller?  I pickup the controller on my network no problem.

Yes. I've found that it takes a few hours before a tube averages out in cgminer. Maybe try a slight overclock with --bet-clk 27?
 

Thanks.  For whatever reason, the config file cgminer was loading had "bet-clk" saved as 23.   Tongue

I've got an extra BE controller if someone is looking for one.

Also have a few extra USB interfaces for Prisma's.  Tubes may be able to use them and then run cgminer instead of using the BE controller with Tubes.  anyone test this?

I have and the tube runs great under cgminer. Only thing you need to do is pass --bet-clk 26 to cgminer in-order to set the clock to 270Mhz.

Is your hashrate 830gh/s+? On the BE controller my unit hashes fine. On cgminer with --bet-clk 26 I only get 760gh/s average.

Canary, how much for a BE controller?

He probably meant ghash went down so he joined mmpool as an alternative.

Yes and your suggestion to join mmpool  has made my life really interesting.


 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8760138

  I found a problem with zencloud-gawminers due to using and testing mmpool with westhash purchased hashing along with using the asicminer tubes.
I do not know whether to like you or be mad at you. Well the flaw I tested for in mmpool does not exist but there was a huge flaw in part of zencloud-gawminers product line.  They had to end/transfer all of the nicehash section of their business.


That was an interesting post- got me to try pointing my tubes to mmpool (where they've been miraculously stable compared to the other pools I'd tried them on) and that zencloud bug made for quite interesting reading as well.


and bam mmpool.org hit a block I got 1.6 btc  35% cdf = score in a high variance pool   these tubes made me 2x roi due to hitting 2 blocks at mmpool.org

Since I joined late on the first block and tons of miners bailed out I got 1.25 coins .  the gaw discover made me about 1.75 coins and I made a block on mmpool.org today another 1.6 coins.    this is 4.6 coins - 2   in expenses = 2.6 for 2x tubes in about  20 days.  my cost was  about 1.9 to buy them profit is .6 btc and 2 fully paid for units.


 True luck.  as I should have earned about 1/3 that.   and should be about 1 coin in the hole.

Still have not heard anything at all.  Starting to get worried.  Maybe he is on vacation?

Anybody got any spare chips?  Looks like I am going to have to fix this myself.

 Friedcat has a boatload of chips left.  It wouldn't be that difficult for him to throw a few in an envelope and ship them to you... and it couldn't hurt to ask.

In a PM he told me he is unavailable until late September.

PM'ed and E-mailed yesterday, and haven't heard anything yet.  He is most likely just busy.
