Continuing to experience a "halting problem" on my Avalon ASIC miner:

The miner stops mining, fans stop spinning, but cgminer is alive and responding to API queries.

Pastebin of cgminer API log, at the time of the stopped-mining incident: http://pastebin.com/uiBvaJkH

Thank you for a factual, clinically dispassionate report.

is this speed ok or are there only 2 mining:

Code:

check if one of the power cable lost connection to the module.

Thanks Xiangfu for posting this. Assuming I get to make use of this resource you have taken the time to set up (pending delivery from BitSyncom)-- may I have an address to send BTC donation to?

Thanks for your efforts.

Looks very suspicious. You are running at approximately the speed of 2 modules, so maybe check the module connections. The counts are right, but I dunno if the UI is simply displaying the arguments passed to the miner or if cgminer actually detected 24 and 10.

now changed to a Stratum only pool:

Code:

[Has Stratum] => true
[Stratum Active] => true
[Stratum URL] => xxx.com
[Has GBT] => false
MHS av=44346.55

with the same hashrate Huh

This may be Avalon's broken GBT. If so, you have two options:

Use stratum
Try out the BFGMiner firmware

I would like to expose the API to external servers.

What is the proper way to add additional cgminer command line options?

Is there a config file somewhere? I am tempted to edit /etc/init.d/cgminer

Thoughts?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1603316

For what it is worth, my /etc/init.d/cgminer had this line:

PARAMS=" $DEVS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 --avalon-options 115200:24:10:45:282 -q --api-allow "W:0/0" --api-listen "

I changed --api-allow to be more restrictive.

and......the avalon has paid for itself in USD Grin

(paying for itself in BTC will take a lot longer)

*high fives* avalon.

How long did that take?

He paid about BTC 114 for the machine at the time (last week of September 2012)

The price in $USD is $USD 1359 ($USD 1299 + $USD 60 shipping), so 5 or 6 days at the current exchange the purchase breaks even in $USD if he mines about BTC 8 / day

The price in BTC is BTC 114, so unless difficulty skyrockets dramatically, a Batch #1 machine can break even in BTC in about 15 days.

Now..

for Batch #2, wave 0, a machine cost $USD 1500 or BTC 76.2 at the time
for Batch #2, wave 1, a machine cost $USD 1500 or BTC 56.45 at the time

Time will tell when these are delivered and what the $USD/BTC exchange is and more important difficulty. I hope they arrive before BFL starts shipping ;-)

Thanks for the details, SolarSilver.

That's probably (I don't have my Avalons yet) what starts cgminer and seeing some other people post command lines, you should just be able to slap the usual API enabling / configuring arguments on there.

As a batch 2 buyer, my concerns lie with:

Quote from: Avalon's most recent email

A week before batch #2 is ready to ship, we will make an announcement to those who wish to trade-in their last generation units to sent in their units

Given there's been no announcement, I can only presume we're still over a week from the beginning of batch 2 shipping Sad
