Will check into multi miner. I meant the ip of the miner. I mine scrypt with gpus solo with wallets on different pc's with no problem. I'll try multi miner and report back, thanks for the help!


Edit: I don't think multi miner will help as I cannot install it on the avalon. It is a stand alone unit. It has cgminer installed on it. I did mange to get the avalon to connect to my wallet, but cgminer shows no hashrate and all getworks.

I would run MultiMiner and use it's as a stratum.
From there you can setup to mine on pools and even solo mine.
The easy to use GUI makes setup easy and nwools supports it solidly answering questions right on here in this thread.

I have been very careful. I run the wallets on a pc that has nothing on it anyway. My question was though, how would I solo mine these coins from the avalon clone. I put rpcallowip=thewalletsip in the config for the coin, but the miner will not connect to the wallet. I've opened the ports on my router. I've done rather well mining alts, it just sucks that I always find over double the blocks for the pools as I actually get paid out, and would love to solo.

Hey also rpcallowip= is for the IP of your miner not the wallet since that option is in the config file of the wallet

I know people here hate altcoins. But no one else can answer my questions. I have Btmine avalon clone. I have actually roi'ed it with sha altcoins. Currently I have to use pools for my avalon. I would love to be able to solo mine sha alt coins with it. I have the ip of my miner in my .conf for the wallet but it still does not connect. I've heard that it's basically impossible to solo sha altcoins with an avalon. Is this correct?

Most of the wallets don't support stratum mining, and the Avalons hash too fast.  You will need to download Stratum software to pass work from your wallet to your miner.  Many altcoins do have stratum pools already set up.

You could try Peercoin or some of the others that have lower total difficulties.
Here is a good list of SHA coins that it should be able to mine.
https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/179-sha-256-cryptocoins/
Check them out and see how they are doing in the exchanges then decide a couple and try them out.
I hope it helps you out.

Hey ckolivas,

I am experiencing a weird issue with p2pool (http://p2pool.smoothrunnings.ca:9332/ my local miners on my LAN (an Avy mini and b1) are showing "no shares yet" both were upgrade to cgminer 4.0.1 from using your firmware. Would there be any reason in 4.0.1 why this feature wouldn't work anymore, possibly a bug?

I am going to switch back to the previous firmware and update you when I know more.

No

My Firmware dont have that Bug


Mine has been Tested on a P2Pool Node


You said you are running the 55nm chips? I am using the 100nm chips which is what the Avalon Mini and Batch 1 and 2 use.

That would be great for the Gen 1 Avalon's.
Thanks and I hope you feel better soon.


Hello all.

I've posted my setup guide for Avalon2 units and modules, including a cooling mod. I also have a proposed one for gen 1 Avalons which I'll write up [after I've finished dying of this flu], if there's any demand.

Poor impulse control.

My avalon fell below profitable mining so it's gone. Hence I'm not doing any more firmware.

How much are you paying for electricity that it's no longer profitable?  Mine is still ~75% profit.

Or did you just run out of power / cooling capacity for more efficient gear?

35c/kWh

Yes, same here. It's almost more efficient to hash by hand with pencil and paper.

Did it give you any boost in performance or extra useful settings?
Also did it save your existing settings like some of the other firmwares do?


Con Kolivas <[email protected]> also develops firmware for the Avy, so I am surprised he hasn't come out with an update. But I have alerted him to this post so hopefully he comes out with something soon; I find his updates are better than YiFU's. Smiley

Actually I still have all my automated scripts for building it lying around, so if you're brave, here is firmware that is done completely blindly and totally untested for 55 and 110nm avalons with cgminer 4.0.1

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/avalon/20140228/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin

Working fine so far on one of my 55nm, will try on all the machines now

Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can buy a new control unit?

Please PM me.

Thanks, I just dl'd it.
I will have to decide now if I should try it or not.
Does it give any advantages that make it worth the risk?
