Hi guys help please  i getting this error what should i do error is


 No devices to start! Please connect mining hardware to USB port(s) and use devices menu to probe for them.

Thanks!

1.94 hash at this moment - 1.96 average hash for runtime - 1.55 pools rate minus, stales, rejects, miscalcs. True Hash.

Mine is 2.03 - 2.01 - 1.80 on bitminter at the x0881 setting it is burning in, will raise after a week or two. And it gets its own 2amp hub.

A: = accepted  R: = rejects I think, not sure,  HE: = hardware errors

For anyone out there who knows: I'm using BFGminer and was wondering what the 3 GH/s values separated by /'s represent or mean.
Example: I have an antminer whose row reads "AMU0:      |1.94/  1.96/  1.55GH/s  |  A:445  R:0+0 (none)  HW:  0/none"
I'm just a curious little noob , killing time til the next block. Thanks for any info!

""Additional Info:  I get those error messages whether I have one Erupter plugged in or all 9..""

Try three install them in hub, let windows install the sllabs drivers.

reboot then start client.

just try it. Only three
 

I'm not sure why the block erupters are sometimes not detected. But it looks like either your user name or worker name is wrong, or both, so mining cannot start up.

New users these days get a worker automatically that is set up as a default worker. That makes specifying a worker name optional. However if you delete that worker and don't set a new default worker, then you must specify a worker name correctly.

Total NOOB here, so be merciful..

I have built a dedicated BTC machine with several USB PCI Cards to handle 9 Erupters..

I plug in all 9 and they are recognized by the Windows 7 machine.  All 9 are listed in the PRINTERS AND DEVICES screen as you can see in this pic:

http://sjfm.us/temp/BTC1.jpg

As you can also see in that pic, I am getting an error message from the BitMinter software..

Now, the weird thing is, when I initially set this up, it worked fine for a couple hours..  I had to tweak it and play with it.  I tried to install the OTHER drivers listed in that error message, the FTDI drivers.  I got an error message when I tried to install them and then, all of the sudden, everything was working..

I let it run for 4 or 5 hours but then had to shut down to re-arrange the hardware..  When I booted back up, I was back to the problem of it not working.  I even tried to re-create the issue by uninstalling ALL the drivers and re-installing but this time, the FTDI drivers installed fine, with no error at all..

The only other clue I have is that, when I start pulling out Erupters, when I pull out a specific one, the Bitminter screen "comes alive" with all sorts of error messages.........

..... and then gives me my login prompt.

It's almost as if the software was "stuck" on an erupter and, once that was pulled, it got "unstuck"...

Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Additional Info:  I get those error messages whether I have one Erupter plugged in or all 9..

You get paid for every block. High CDF just means the block took a lot of work to find.


Not yet. I'm working on this.

Can I use an Antminer with the Bintminter software?

Thanks

Does the prepay perk/donation ignore high CDF? I seem to get paid even on all these real real high cdf value blocks.

Also: FINALLY some blocks came in!!! Hope we can get some more today. Got my new ants up and hashin'.

Try stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333


Over time the expected average payout is the same as all pools, except for differences in fees, donations, merged mining namecoins.


As you can see on blockchain.info the transaction has 360 confirmations (at the time I write this), and some recipients have already spent coins received through this transaction.

I know this happens often with Multibit that it "misses transactions". But this is normally fixed by resetting blockchain and transactions from the menu. Try asking the Multibit guys what could be causing it.

thanks.

Kind of a Noob question here. 

Doc.  I have a transaction that appears to be stuck in the Chain?   Or at least I didn't get paid out on it.    I am a noob at reading the actual Blockchain.   From what I understand I should have this pay out at this point.   If you go to Tree view my addy shows up as receiving? 

Here is the Transaction

Using Multibit as a wallet.   Have already reset Blockchain and Transactions

What is the expected payout for this pool? I know that is a pretty broad question, but should someone expect to make a dollar a day, 5 dollars a day, etc?

I know it depends on your mining power and time mining, but is there a way to tell all of that?

Does anyone have advice on connecting to Bitminter via stratum proxy with a Bitfury rig?

I'm trying to connect using stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com (on the admin page), and the noncerate is just flashing 0GH/s. I can't figure it out and it's very frustrating.

May I ask your opinion about this device, DrHaribo. Does it worth the price?

That's the problem. You can use _ or . to separate user and worker names. In this case it mines as user "bens" with worker "btc_ant11". Which doesn't exist. Go to "my account" -> "workers" in the website menu and create a new worker by filling out a name at the button of the table and clicking the plus symbol.


More than five workers is a perk. Most users have enough with five workers though.

bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u freddyfarnsworth_1 -p x -S antminer:all -S all --set-device antminer:clock=x0881

Is working for my ant u1, as soon as I said it was working ok with the java client for a week or two, it crapped out completely, so we waiting on our savior Doc to get something working. Only runnin for a few mins now, but check the login part, not a dot a underscore and it began working. It did not try to find my GPUs thank god, or we would be conflicting with doc site.
Also I have NO 333 BE usb sticks on this computer anymore moved em over to a older machine.
More than one worker is a perk here, then you can use many. I like em all piled together...

*Question regarding Workers and Worker Names and Worker Logins*

Hi,

I have a number of Block Erupter cubes that are proxied through the stratum proxy. They connect just fine to Bitminter and report accurately. However:

I also have a number of Antminer U1's running under bfgminer. With bfgminer I log in with -u bens.btc_ant1. However when I check "workers" on the website it lumps all of my workers together. Do I need to create a worker named "ant1" (whatever name that I'd use an underscore in the command line) on the worker website page for the separate worker names to properly display? The bfgminer client is on a completely different external IP address from the stratum proxied BE cubes. Or should I make a separate Bitminter account for my u1's? This does not appeal, I would prefer a more elegant solution.

I am also wondering about bandwidth. I am going to move my cubes temporarily to a location served by crappy ADSL. Maybe 1.1mbit down and 50k up? Will I be bottlenecked by running on low-tier DSL? I'm not running GETWORK, I plan to use the mining proxy for ingoing/outgoing communication.

Thank You!

+100 waiting on that, speed is about 1564mh and way to many errors being logged, only about 3% or so of them are real (affect shift work).

Those are my two issues, It plugs and plays very well, BGminer was a complete fail with windows for me, was going to try BFGminer next, but really want to wait till I have a jally or blade to go to those programs.

Prolly be on asics for another few months (few meaning 3) inside joke maybe ? was told that on a halloween when a guy said take a "few" so I grabbed a handfull
He said no...few means three. Been using that ref since 1957.
