Can someone tell me how to reset the password for "admin" using SSH? I cannot seem to login anymore using the GUI interface. I still have SSH root access.
I can do a master reset, but i want to avoid that process.
To Cointerra, when you give us an option to change a password, make sure you get it twice so people like me with fat fingers do not type in the wrong letters.
I have the same problem as others on this forum, I do not get full speed as advertised. One runs at 600GHash and the second board runs at 800 GHash.
What I paid for: 2TH
Performance claim after 2 months of delays: 1.6TH
What they finally delivered: 1.4TH
Thanks!

Edit: After some fiddling around (took cgminer down temporarily, changed the power setting around, restarted everything via SSH, etc.) I'm seeing 1.7Thash locally now instead of 1.5Thash and I've switched to Eligius...the hashrate is still climbing up at the moment so we'll see where it settles-maybe Eligius works better than BTCGuild with Terraminers? I know Cointerra was testing on Eligius so maybe this is the only pool that really deals well with these. We'll see soon enough I guess.
Can you provide some instruction on how to adjust power settings and restart via ssh. I'm on Eligus and getting about 1.4 on pool but loally shows about 1.6
To restart via ssh and the linux command prompt:
# ssh root@[address of your miner]
# reboot
.. then wait for the machine to restart. It's very similar if you're using putty.
Just to further the investigation, I'm also seeing this sort of thing happen. Here's a snippet of the stats page:

Restarting seems to fix it for about 8 hours.

After running over 24 hours on Eligius with its own payout address, the Eligius reported performance matches the local performance, about 1.62 TH.
I am still running into the problem where one of the "cores" will sometimes stop hashing and total hash rate will drops by about 100 GH both locally and on Eligus. Manifests like this in the stats.

I had a quick chat to the person who can do something about this to hopefully elevate the priority of this issue.

We are also seeing some issues with one of the CT miners:
The unhealthy miner:

And for comparison a healthy one:
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/823/5opj.png
Miners are on different networks, and first miner's has been mining a little on the backup pool, so we are suspecting some network issues at the moment.
Local network ping to the miner was healthy all time, so now we are checking external network connection.
The miner has also completely stopped once and had to be rebooted. Unfortunately miner does not expose any logs, but only current stats
Thanks for sharing the issue with not hashing core, we will also try to look for that as well.

ASIC1Core1 obviously the one not hashing.

A reset of the machine gets that downed core running again and the hash rate up above 1.6 TH again.
You can see in the Eligius plot the rate drop down about 100 GH about 4 hours before Feb 19th. Not sure what causes this intermittent outage of a core for a long duration. And it has always been this same core and similar symptoms.

Unfortunately using an external controller is not possible without opening the box, and that would void the warranty.

One of my miner keeps going
1 TerraMiner Offline:
127.0.0.1
what's the reason?
every time i restart cgminer it says config might be crashed?

From the Cointerra user guide.
"To boot up the TerraMiner IV connect the power cords within 3 seconds of each other. If they are not both powered up within this time it is possible that the BeagleBone controller card will not recognize both GoldStrike boards inside the TerraMiner."
There is a ton of detailed status information that can be seen in the Advanced/Stats page. You can see the performance of each of the 8 cores on each ASIC including, hardware errors, voltage and temp. I have seen issues with one core on each ASIC that have shown as low voltages and hardware errors. Right now seeing no issues on any cores. Not sure if these were intermittent issues or perhaps some temp related issues on the first day of operations.
I am managing a Cointerra for the first month of its life. I have the two plugs running off of two separate 110v circuits, which they recommend as well. You can try unplugging and replugging as a restart. (I have done a few of those type of restarts) You also have have the small hardware reset button on the front panel that you can press with the end of a paperclip. (I have done a couple of those restarts)
Due to Eligius stats collection and reporting issues, I couldn't get a new payout address on Friday. So for the first 3 days I had the Cointerra paired up with an Antminer to the same payout address on Eligus so I could get at least some reporting from Eligius. The actual hash rate gain from the Cointerra was about 100 to 200 GH less on Eligius than the 1.6 TH what I was getting reported locally. I finally switched the Cointerra over to a separate address on Eligius a few hours ago and the Eligius stats are now looking better. 1.56 TH reported on Eligius and 1.62 TH locally. Need to build up more long term stats on Eligius of the unit by itself before I can say anything conclusive.

As for performance? Well, the control panel seems to say it's running at 1.5Thash, but unlike my BFL hardware where what's reported in CGMiner is more or less what the pool sees I can't get BTCGuild to see any more than 1.3Thash and it seems to fluctuate between 1.2 and 1.3Thash...this is severely disappointing right now and I've been playing around with pool settings to see if I can get any better performance but I'm basically mining 2/3rds of what I was expecting and obviously it's over 2 months late. All things considered for $14400 I could have had two Jupiters mining away at almost the same hashrate for 5 months now...even though they're sending another unit in March to try and make up for the delays the much lower hashrate is actually now the major issue-I'm honestly not sure how any of the later batches will ROI if they don't actually ship the full 2 terahashes. I have no idea how their control panel is showing such optimistic hashrates either. Overall I have to say that this whole experience has made me really hesitant about doing any sort of pre-orders ever again, I ended up paying about $11 per gigahash-yes this price will go down once they actually deliver a March unit but right now I have no idea when that will actually get here or even how much mining power it will have so if it ends up being 2.6Thash being delivered half in February and half in April for $14400...

Hey testerx... I'm seeing the same thing with mine.... local cgminer reads 1.5 to 1.6 but only seeing 1.3 on the pool. Did you "fiddling" get things working better? Can you expand a bit on what you "fiddled" with?

Came across this and saw the laptop/cointerra on the desk and instantly remembered this thread.
50/50 it's a scam but the number is local. But ROFL'ed at the 20k or 25btc then really rofl'ed when I was like wait those aren't his pictures!

Thanks man! Good summary.
Does Con have a cgminer build that could be run on a PC over USB? Maybe the beaglebone controller is underpowered for the hash rate.
I just posted the source into the cgminer git master tree. Does Con have a cgminer build that could be run on a PC over USB? Maybe the beaglebone controller is underpowered for the hash rate.
Can you confirm the power draw?
Great that you finally got your unit !!
I'm sure the performance/hashrate will improve as you get used to tweaking a bit ..
LOUD .. you say ..
Like you can't stand to be in the same room .. LOUD ..
or
Your wife is going to leave you if you don't turn it off .. LOUD

Unscientific, but I would say about as loud as 10 Avalons. I'm sure the performance/hashrate will improve as you get used to tweaking a bit ..

thanks! it was really helpful to know that...
hey guys what's the noise like of these units? can you see if the intake or exhaust fans could be replaced?
Very, very, very loud and I wouldn't replace anything, it needs these super high flow delta fans to keep the chips cool-it's basically server grade equipment.Great that you finally got your unit !!

I'll try to take a video later if I can, but if you're planning out where to put it I would strongly recommend a dedicated room that has good airflow. I can actually hear the TerraMiner from outside the front door of my home because it's sitting on my dining table. It's more or less equivalent to my blow dryer just with a lower pitch.
Luckily my girlfriend is used to dealing with my insanity since I used to run the Single SCs...but to be honest this is louder by far than even several single SCs.
2) Plug in the power cables to the two PSUs, you *must* plug in the power to BOTH cables within 3 seconds of each other.
I ran mine for about a half hour on the lower PSU only (the other one doesn't power the internal controller) while I looked for an extension cord to reach another outlet on the other leg of my power. Hashrate doubled after plugging it in, no fiddling or rebooting required.
What I did waste a bunch of time was on the fact that it's dhcp only, I was assuming it would have a default IP and wasted a long time looking.
To run this thing you really have to have access to the DHCP data on your router or else you'll have to scan every single local IP to try and find it. There is a way to set a fixed IP in the control panel but of course you can't connect to it until you have the IP...
