Are you sure you have your worker setup at the pool and it matches with worker name and password in cgminer? If not you can get the issue you refer to.

I'm positive. It was mining for about 20 minutes then I decided to move it. Nothing since then and none of the settings have been changed. I've power cycled it dozens of times and it doesnt help.

I'm going to take 2 of them home and fool with them over the weekend. I hope to find a simple solution and will post it in this thread if I figure it out.

Thanks for all the suggestions, keep em coming.

Are you new to mining and Avalons? It kind of sounds like you are.

You should connect to your Avalon's and assign a static IP within your own network and make sure you assign the correct Gateway IP and DNS (usually it's 8.8.8. Cool

otherwise they won't hash.

As soon as you log into your Avalon go to the CGminer Status link and you'll see the Firmware revision number.

A good firmware to get is from CK it ends in 0821

Hey all.

I've totally managed to confuse myself. I just received 4 60gh avalons and I cant get them to mine. I had one of them running just fine but then I unplugged it to move it to its final location and it wont mine now. I'm getting "connection refused" in the cgminer status page.

I'm assuming this might mean I need to update the firmware but I dont know which file to chose and I really done want to brick any of these things.

They were purchased from Avalon 2 weeks ago so I would assume that the firmware is relatively new, no?

Maybe I'm missing something?? I've read this thread (various pages) but am not seeing any help.

Any ideas?

Thanks all!

its not online. get it off wifi and put it on lan to save you some reliability.

I've got both of them on the LAN. I dont have wi-fi in the building.

I can reach them via the browser so I know I have that part set right.

How do I...

1, figure out what firmware they are running
2, pick from the huge list of files to update them if they need it? That firmware pages has dozens of files to choose from.

What's the purpose of having multiple pools configured ? Is that in case one or two losea connection? Or is there another reason?

are there any cron job pro's in this thread? i was thinking of every ten hours, pause cgminer for 5 minutes. just to let fans cool the chips off completely.. (to save hardware and preventing house from burning up from non-CE compliant hardware).
Ideas? i'll ask some sysadmins i know, or dust off my old skills if no answer.

Break for 1 minute, every three hours:
0 */3 * * * /etc/init.d/cgminer stop
1 */3 * * * /etc/init.d/cgminer start

(if you like longer pauses, do every 10 hours maybe, you can do both:)
0 */10 * * * /etc/init.d/cgminer stop
5 */10 * * * /etc/init.d/cgminer start

[Device Hardware%] => 1.8470

yes CK firmware i only use --quiet

Try it with your count at 24 see if that makes and difference.

i do when i m back to home

here temperature 13c and night is 9°c

EDIT: best perf with my setup Totals (All Active Workers) 701.51 GH/s only with Avalon

It looks like temperature is everything here. Its a 2 degrees celsius here (feeling like -2) and my Mini's temps are much lower thus as you will see the HW% has dropped by 0.2% as normally its 0.8 something.

Here's what my Mini is setup and hashing at:

Here is the API Log to confirm the HW%:

zerocode: Did you get your machines working through direct USB ?. Can you please post a reply with details of the process ?. Did you use Zadig to install WinUSB ?(was it the latest version).

FWIW, I tried driving my Redhash unit over USB/Zadig with CGMiner, and it produced an undesirable amount of duplicate shares compared to running off the TP-Link's firmware. Not sure what I was doing wrong Sad

This sounds like the results I was getting with cgminer 3.7.* , try version 3.6.6.

The exhaust fan grill, i would like to know its dimension! could you measure it for me? i will connect a aluminium hose to direct hot air outside, mine are overheating..

the plated area is 15cm wide and 14cm tall, hope that helps. let me know if you need other measurements!

Thanks. hm, thats big!

here is the side view for a better look, whats this component? what does it mean when these things burn up? can i replace it and get this module running again?

any help is greatly appreciated!

thanks.

Just unscrew the top heatsink covering the two modules.
Unplug your broken module. it will start running again with 10 less chips unless something else burned.

Could you measure the exhaust pipe for me please?

ok let me try, thanks man! is there a way to repair that particular part tho? or too hard?
whats exhaust pipe?

one board is 10x375Mhz. 3.75GH, is it worth it?
