Is anyone else having this issue?




This seems to occur pretty regularly. It'll sit there for like 8 seconds chewing on a share; then it either submits it, or it says it's stale and then it moves on.

Seems to be affecting the hashrate on the pools I've tried.

How is everyone's "Discarded" shares looking on the zenminer page?  After running overnight mine are double the accepted shares.

The poolside hashrates seem to be fairly accurate though.

Honestly, I'm not sure what that number actually means.  The option "no-submit-stale" is not enabled, so I don't think it has anything to do with locally discarding shares that are determined to be stale.  Thoughts?

Be nice to get the HW error count as well.

Oh, by the way, for those of you who don't see your pool stats - log cycle.  I was showing a friend the setup last night and log cycled and voila! There were SOME pool stats (not HW errors).
Yeah, zenminer doesn't show HW count.  I would check the Pi but I restarted it already because I tweaked some stuff so the old HW count is gone.
I've been looking into HW errors and I'm starting to think it's not a big deal. On a GPU I've always believed you should never see any HW errors and that if you do it's something you need to resolve (i.e. lower intensity). With ASICs (even the Gridseeds) I'm thinking it might just be something normal that we're not used to seeing.

Just MHO though.

What kind of usb cable does the falcon use? USB A- B? or a USB A to mini B like the furry and gridseeds?


A to B (not mini)

Thank you Miles!
Mine came with a USB cable and a network cable. Both had good lengths (i.e. longer than the usual 3 footers you'd usually get).

Hey GAW, have you guys considered (or are working on) truly making your own hardware using the Innosilicon chips?

this would be GAWesome! with those chips it would be more profitable to mine since they consume less power.

I'd love to see a Generation B Fury with 1-2 of the Innosilicon chips for about the same price.  Grin

Do we have a timeline on the firmware upgrade?

Anyone know why they chose to use cgminer 3.1.1 instead of later releases? 3.1.1 is very primitive and could be why these thing draw so much power and hashrate suffers?

There's actually not a lot of (any?) difference in the scrypt code.  3.1.1 is fine to use.  Certainly it has nothing to due with the power consumption.

Both GAW and Zeus have updated the Power Consumption. Falcon is now at 1040?Huh?

That is not going to fly.

And WOW!  What an update.  Zeus has more than doubled their power estimate/MH, in one case almost tripling it - and they recommend 20+% higher wattage power supplies than their specs.

Good news:  GAW is whipping Zeus on the price of the Fury vs. Blizzard (which appear to be identical boxes or nearly so).  Zeus also appears to have rather seriously revamped their product offering, dropping several models, varying a few others...  Black Widow looks like its going to need a price adjustment to stay in line.

This is an amazing world we live in!

And this is why getting a hosted miner turned out to be a great decision.

anyone else get stuck paying for shipping. I had to pay the DHL guy 20 dollars to get mine

I've bought 3 units gridseed from GAW to indonesia, shipping via USPS [edited] and very smooth, but the import tax is very expensive for me. I paid $ 170 for that.  Grin

It not a shipping charge. If you're in Canada, we have the joy of paying import fees.

I personally don't care or worry a bout HW errors as long as the pools side has rate looks good. That is a gauge of real work being done. I am also only seeing about .008% rejects pool side with is great.
That being said I see a decent amount of HW errors on my Fury compared to my gridseeds but its doing 1.3+ poolside so I could care less Smiley

Been running the Fury for ~18 hours @328mhz.

ICA0                | (5s):1.318M (avg):1.335Mh/s | A:5440 R:43 HW:283 U:0.0/m

Dropped it down to 320 .. Still seeing errors @ ~1.25MH/s... Going to let it run for a bit. Then try 300mhz. Sad

Adjusting the frequency, won't change the HW 's believe me I tried. Best to shut it off and wait for firmware update. And with btc going over 615 today very sad.

I don't think the HW errors hurt anything other than your bottom line and pissing off your pool.... My Difficulty bounces between 32-256 like crazy. My Gridseeds on the same pool are firm at 512. Sad

Interestingly tho, HW errors are a solid 5% still after dropping to 320. So hopefully you're right, and this is a simple firmware update.
