Topic: Avalon ASIC users thread - page 14. (Read 438575 times)

So a dev from mupool.com (he/she was so cool, recommended) attempteed to start my ASIC and failed, apparently cgminer see's my avalon3's but can't access the ASIC.. and suggestions please?
Posted from Bitcointa.lk - #KV5rH1oq0W9o3h9E

ok, I have finally got my avalon3 single modules doing something... I have accessed r'pi using the authorised firmware, changed settings to DHCP (if you have trouble access this you might need to change the ip range on your router to 192.168.0.xxx log in change to DHCP then you can reset settings on router)..
Once the r'pi kicks in the Avalon3's noticably speed up but there does not seem to be any significant heat generated? (happy but confused)
in the summery all work is Discarded.
I am not seeing any active worker in the pool (mupool).
is there a tutorial/guide to what I am seeing in this OpenWrt Barrier Breaker control panel thang?
Thanks

Hey. Anyone knows why my speed is lower than should be? It is avalon3. http://i57.tinypic.com/apbmg4.jpg

My Avalon3 is hashing away just fine. (needed to raise the voltage some to reduce the error rate to under .5%).
I compiled Cgminer from source with --enable-avalon2 flag.
Then added -S /dev/ttyUSB0 --avalon2-voltage 7250 --avalon2-freq 500 in addition to my normal configuration to the command line.

If you are feeling adventurous the avalon-usb branch of cgminer in BitSyncom's git has some nice updates.

I have 3 Avalon3 Single modules.. just sitting on a table.
I have a Raspberry PI I have installed the latest firmware to SD card
and thats it they sit there and do nothing..

Hello,

I cant seem to get my avalon 3 with avalon 2 module working connected to a raspberry pi. I get this specific error

[Firmware Version] => 20140526
cgminer: 444d457
cgminer-openwrt-packages: b7b7afe
luci: b66161d
Socket connect failed: Connection refused

I read this was most likely a network configuration error. I checked all my settings and everything is fine. I ran the ping and as you can see the results are ok.

I also factory reset the units a couple of times just to be sure, and to my surprise still the same error.

I also thought it might be a powersupply problem. I put 2 powersupplies from one of my antminer s2 setups, and still the same problem. I also bought a new psu. Still the same issue (Thinking it may a module powering issue), but fans are spinning and power leds are up.

The Avalon 3 to avalon 2 module is connected to a usb hub that has a seperate psu and is the sold on ehash. I also tried to connect it directly to the Raspberry pi.

Definitely need help on this one.

I bought a 200gh unit and after roughly 24 hours of mining I noticed the rig turned itself on and off, then the hash rate bounces from 84-96mh but never any higher.
Temperature reads below the parameters set by Vision Man. All settings are at what they recommend. I turned the unit off, let it sit for about an hour, turned it back on, and it still has the same issue.
I reset to defaults, got everything reconfigured in terms of Chip Frequency, Miner Count, etc. It still has the exact same issue!
The unit is hard wired with wireless disabled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for your time.

Miner Count: 16
Asic Count: 10

Im having the exact same issue
please help!

Hello guys, my problem is next, I have had a firmware 20131110 and my avalon gen2 stops hashing few times a day. I try with system update but any firmware from 2014 just wont work. It won't start to hash. Every time I got message Connection refused in cgminer. When I return it to the older firmware all work but very unstable. At this moment i have HW about 50% which is too much (or its not???). I mine on btcguild, ghash and one multipool by failover. Can you help me? What I do wrong with system update? Every time keep settings were checked. Do I need to decheck this option while I upgrade firmware? My Avalon is on wr703n, and i run it on 1300MHz.

I should point point out that I've used Leaserig for about 4 days now and the rigs runs fine, fairly easy to set up, even for a noob like me. Prices are reasonable, about 0.0025BTC/MH/Day.
Which is really about £1 per day or less, I cant really complain about borrowing someone's Rig for £1 per day.
But the numbers are not profitable, that's not their fault, they are only leasing out rigs.
Many pools seem to advertise their profit at greater than that figure but I'm slowly running our of funds so
either the figures re inflated, or hand picked or, very possibly I've not chosen the right Pool but anyway,  anyone wanting to experiment with mining could try leaser rig,  (Just don't mention the Bilderberg group )

My thinking is that, OK, so I now know how to hire a rig and I now know how to set up pools, but that's obviously not all there is to making money in cryptos, after you've mined the coins, you need the extra step, trading them profitably to recoup you leasing fees,
that's obviously the tricky bit.

I'm still toying with the idea that I should buy my own equipment, but it really is a dilemma because using Leaserig or other, I don't have to leave my PC on, have to worry about maintenance.
on the other hand, if I buy the equipment, I make $300/yr/Mh  BUT I need a machine on 24/7.
There's not much in it either way really.

Been looking at these guys, they have a nice little 1.3 MH unit for about $100 and I hear they will host it free, only problem is,  it's pre order at the time of writing   ( 13th Jun 2014 which is Alex's Birthday, Happy Birthday M8).   
Tempting though.
Anybody dealt with this company or bought one of these units.

solved.

I just received an Avalon 3 290 module, along with a TP-link controller/interface from eHash.com yesterday. I hooked it up to my laptop with the Ethernet cable and was able to access and configure settings through the web interface. I changed the address to my network, moved it, and can still login and connect to it.
What I CAN'T do is talk to the miner, or get it to do anything. I'm using a Thermaltake TR2-600 w power supply.
I see 2 green LED's on the interface board, and the fan runs. That's all.
The CGMiner API log says firmware 20140423, CGMiner 2077365. Socket connection failed: Connection refused.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, if anything?

Please help. Thanks.

I just got my avalon 3 in and one connector is a PCIe 12v.  What pins do I power on this connector?  The bottom lower 3 on the left. Do I need the sense connectors.  I think the Connector on the right side of the miner is an EPS 12v.  Anyone else have this issue.   I want to make sure I power the right pins and not fry my new miner...

Been mining at Leaserig for a week, just experimentally, and had good results, no problems, everything fine but then I made the mistake of talking on the Chat, see transcript below so Be warned.
Anyway, after a week and some calculations I came to the conclusion that it's possibly better to own the rigs than rent them...But then of course there's the cost of buying the rigs or at least the GPUs, so its swings and round abouts.      Not sure if this guy is going to interfere with my ongoing mining, I'll let you know, but anyway, I'm looking into trying to find alternative mining rigs for hire.
Leaserig seem to be about 0.0024BTC per MHash Scrypt.......Which Is maybe $1 per day, which for experimental purposes is quite reasonable but it's $360 Dollars per year and I could maybe buy a GPU for my PC and Mine myself maybe get 2 - 5 years worth of mining out of it.
My rough calculations suggest that if there was somewhere out there selling cheaper Hashes it still might be OK to hire rigs online with a contract.   Are there any other places that Hire rigs online, like Leaserig for the same or maybe even better. So I can hopefully make mining even More efficient.
I seem to recall seeing a 1yr contract somewhere for $130 cant remember where I saw the ad. 
Anyway, here's the Conversation I had with Leaserig on their Chat thingy....
I sort of worked out that mining the coins is only the first step, there are other steps to profitability like Arbitrage, mine and Hold as a possible investment etc.

royalecraig
Im in the UK
hutnik
I'm slightly east from UK
royalecraig
Oh, I'm slightly to the West of there.
miaviator
I'
miaviator
I'm slightly a pond away from there?
hutnik
so you're in UK and also west of there?
miaviator
A small pond
miaviator
with frogs
hutnik
how's that possible
miaviator
IDK
miaviator
could be an ocean
royalecraig
Yea,  I'm schizophrenic, you have to be a bit like that to mine numbers for a hobby or living
miaviator
?
* miaviator slowly backs away
royalecraig
anyway, now we've all pinpointed exactly where we live...
miaviator
?
miaviator
You both live somewhere on the big island over there
miaviator
that's not very specific
miaviator
What's your Lat/Long?  I'll pull up a satellite view
miaviator
and put a virtual pin in it
royalecraig
I was trying to come up with  a formula how many coins I should earn while mining and come to the conclusion that
royalecraig
the people selling the pickaxes are the ones making the money
miaviator
LOL
royalecraig
So mining altcoins is only the first step towards millionaire status
miaviator
Don't forget about the people making the pickaxes
miaviator
Mining is like any war.
royalecraig
Oh yea, I forgot about them.
miaviator
Nicholas cage makes all the money?
miaviator
....
royalecraig
I heard the Bilderberg group make the money then lend it to us at full face value plus interest
miaviator
us or US or the royal us or ?
miaviator
What are we talking about here?
hutnik
based on my experience, the people who rent pickaxes makes the money
royalecraig
When I came on here a week or so ago I could hire machines for a week or so, now a lot of them seem to be for 1 hr

I've heard about a study which showed that it's possible to "beam" images and certain ideas which change the brains dopamine and other neurotransmitter levels from a satellite.
miaviator
Hence the invention of the tinfoil hat
miaviator
Those 1 hour machines proly say they are for New customers and for LeaseRig platform testing.
royalecraig
I didn't see any BBC camera crews wearing tinfoil hats when they reported on the Bilderberg group meeting in Watford last year.
miaviator
I should require new providers to join IRC
miaviator
Hey man, just because you are only willing to reach so far into worldwide conspiracies doesn't make you correct!
miaviator
Don't be afraid to dig deeper.
miaviator
The mind control, the idea of bringing worldwide feudalism back
miaviator
The methods used to ensure a population is ready to accept full martial law

What is it
miaviator
the Greys, the Greens, the reptilians, and the beings of light
miaviator
?
miaviator
Wait you are mixing the Bilderberg with the Alien conspiracy?
miaviator
That's bold man.... That's bold
* miaviator looks for an aircraft aluminum hat for royalecraig
royalecraig
No Bilderberg are real, Aliens and the other stuff are to distract the mindlesss masses...
miaviator
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
miaviator
Ok
miaviator
And religions?
royalecraig
Its a neat trick they play,  because Aliens and Planet X are not real, then people willl think the Bilderberg group can't be real either
royalecraig
The problems we face are Bad guys.
miaviator
Here
miaviator
Here's another neat trick
== You have been kicked by miaviator (Conspiracy Theorist.)
royalecraig
Anyway, am I correct in thinking that
royalecraig
the first step to improving profitability in this game is to own the rig, not rent it
royalecraig
Hey, You actually,  really kicked someone off for talking about the Bilderberg group. a group that is known to exist, are you for real....Well, yea, obviously you are...

Hrm... maybe they fixed that in the most recent firmware update dated 5.26.14 ...

Just wondering man , the Av2 complained about the coinbase length at Eligius and would stop , no p2pool either but any other stratum pool its fine. Maybe things are better now ? I gave mine to a friend. All the best man , take it easy.

Which pool man?

Just thought would post my results of Avalon3 290GH module:
Most reliable result - 306GH @ .9% HW @ .7250v @ 525mhz @ 370w

The stated HW% rate at a given voltage does not quite match up w/ the wiki, so Im a bit disappointed but, the power consumption is less than stated =)

Been stable for 15hrs at this point.
These things run fucking hot as hell, I think the compact heatsink design hinders cooling substantially. Even w/ the fan at 80-90% its still burning hot to the touch. I think if they used a 4U height case and made the heatsinks taller, these would be running much cooler at lower noise(the fan goes up to 8000+ RPM).

Whats odd is, if I put clocks at 550mhz @ .7500v @ 325GH ... it runs perfect for a good 15mins (.3%HW) ... but then the HW% starts crawling up to 20% ... I have no idea why, dont know if its heat or if the VRM's cant handle that sort of current or WTF is going on... lol

Anyways, those are some results for ya folks =)
Overall, its not a bad deal, that is if it keeps running well =)
