How goes your miners people... nice to hear if they are still hashing hard?

I bought 4 on eBay a couple of weeks ago.  Together, they never quite get to 10GH/s but they do get close.

If I restart BFGMiner, I always have to fiddle around with them to get them working again.  Usually just pulling them out of the hub and swapping them around gets them hashing again.  Hopefully the driver and BFGMiner will mature a bit.

i did the same thing. i believe i may have received a bad one or idk.

mine is producing >50% HW errors
What operating system are you using? Have you tried cgminer. Are you sure it is receiving enough power? Is it connected to a raspberry pi or a pc? Do any of the parts look damaged?

I am getting 0% HW errors on my ones so it sounds like some kind of issue.

OS: x86 debian 7.1 wheezy
not tried cgminer (will do) plenty of powah.
machine: HP mini 110
no apparent damage

ran cg 3.5.0 0.5% HW errors

ill take it

Linux or windows? You can also try cgminer 3.5.0

 Still dutifully plugging away. Looking forward to getting more to upgrade my existing USB ASIC's and have a fire-sale on my Erupters.

Got them running again but I'm not sure what I did.  I uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled, unplugged the USB, plugged them back in, etc.  and eventually BFGMiner recognized them.

I loaded it up once and it ran just fine at ~2.65GH/s for a few hours, then I restarted my PC (changed nothing) and now when I run it the only thing detected is OCL 0 (CPU) and it won't find my BF1.  Device Manager shows no issues and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and a fresh DL of the BFGMiner.

Any bright ideas?


So, for the record I again, touched nothing.  Just opened up #MINE and it is up and working just fine.

Who knows... Huh

Ok, I made a bonehead move!  I wanted to change pools and restarted BFGMiner and now I can't get these little bastards to work on either pool now. Sad

Any ideas how I can get them running again on Windows?

Should difficulty be set to 2 or 3 for a 2GH/s miner so as to avoid spamming the pool with 1diff shares?  How many GH/s do you need to have before that becomes necessary?
Slush pool sets it to 2 with one unit hashing
