anyone solomining with bitfury?
Please help.
I bought a used Bitfury rig (original M-board) that ran without problems for the last few weeks, mining bitcoin through BTC Guild.
Tonight, while the rig was running, I changed the pool configuration to the D7 mining pool (Peercoin) to see if it would work. Instead, the noncerate immediately went to 0. I restarted the Pi, changed the pool configuration back to BTC Guild, started the miner...and nothing happened. Noncerate is 0, Bank 1 is at 0, and BTC Guild is showing 0 for my worker. Stats.log is showing 0's all the way across, except for speed (all set at 55)
Did I somehow break the rig? Did I fry the board?
Please let me know what I can do. Thanks very much.

EXACT same thing happened to me, I changed to slush, works fine, tried bitminter, works fine. For some reason btcguild not working for me after I rebooted my rig.
How did you connect to slush's pool with a bitfury rig? Did you install the stratum proxy for Linux on the Pi?
in the btcguild thread, people are reporting difficulty reconnecting at this time.
Would that affect the bitfury's admin page though? Shouldn't I be showing a noncerate of something, even though BTC Guild isn't picking it up?
The SD card images already have the stratum proxy setup.
Pool problems do cause chainminer to stop counting hashes, unfortunately, which can be misleading.

just put the info in the admin, this is one card. Using the image file from megabigpower, zero mods to is (version 2)
Thanks for the screenshot. I was hoping it was that simple (got caught up in thinking I had to install something).

I just got my new kit. Kit #2 for me. Have it all hooked up.
Tried to bring it up on my browser but it's not showing up.
I ssh into it to make sure the ip address is correct. Which it is. Also ran Advanced IP Scanner and that ip shows up as active with pi.
Rebooted a number of times. Still won't show up. Any thoughts?

did you set your nameserver to same as your gateway
ie
gateway 192.168.1.254
dns-nameserver 192.168.1.245

Anyone has an SD image for V1/V1.2 boards with something other then chainminer?
(I can host it for others.)
Kind of getting sick of hashrate drop on certain pools even after setting proxy to restart every 10min.
Thanks

Instead of restarting the proxy, try restarting the miner every 3-4 hrs.
This has fixed weird dropouts on BTCGuild that would occur randomly once every 24-36hrs, despite proxy restarts.
Code:
0 */3 * * * sudo /opt/bitfury/start-miner.sh
I don't think it's a miner issue.. but on some level it could be.
The ONLY pool I haven't had this issue is Bitminter. All other pools when I set the hashrate takes a nosedive about 20-30min after I let it run.
At first I was able to run about a month on bitcoin.cz before it started doing it regularly, then switched to Bitminter.
Now I was trying to split my workload 1/2 , so 1/2 was at Bitminter still and 1/2 went to CoinEX for whatever currency.
Sometimes it works fine with no issues.. like right now.., it's been up for about 14 hours with just Proxy restart (I implemented that 2-3 days ago) at other times I check the pool and it's mining at like 3Gh/s vs. 20Gh/s+ that it should be.
Restarting the whole setup sometimes makes it stable.., but I haven't really found the spot that makes it tick.
Really hope I wont have to toy this much with my X-3's, lol.
Thanks
I am looking for an alternative to chainminer and its proxy.
Whats software are best for BFSB hardware ? BFGminer or CGMiner, other alternatives
Do CGMiner has been running stably Bitfury?
Is formed instruction on how to run CGminer on RasperryPi?
If you have BitFury boards, with a V1 or V2 controller, I've updated the driver in my git and it should work with either now.Whats software are best for BFSB hardware ? BFGminer or CGMiner, other alternatives

I've tested it on BlackArrow hardware.
One V2 controller with 1 board, the other V2 controller with 6 boards: 3onSPI1, 2onSPI2, 1onSPI3.
Both work fine.
I, however, use Arch coz I find it more reliable on the RPi.

If compile with BlackArrow support report "BlackArrowBitFuryGPIO failed to open spidev (2)"
I test it with scope today evening.
So no idea why you'd get that error.
2 means the spi device doesn't exit - so probably modprobe failed.
Though (like chainminer) I require root privs to setup the device.
anyone have the most recent image for v1.2 M-board (PCI power)? Mine is a saved image with custom speeds and its a bit outdated. I would make and save a new one but my SD card is corrupted the second i turn off or power off the unit
I find it a little odd that so many people get corrupted memory cards when shutting down. I''ve not seen this with any of the pis that I've used for different projects (just luck?) Do you shut down the pi by connecting via ssh and running "sudo shutdown -h now" or just switch off the power?

BFGMiner works perfectly, I'm not sure if cgminer even has support yet.
You can use set-device to change chip clock speeds:
"set-device" : ["BSB:osc6_bits=55"] sets all chips to speed 55.
"set-device" : ["BSB:osc6_bits=55","BSB2:osc6_bits=54"] sets all chips to speed 55 and all chips in slot 2 to speed 54.
"set-device" : ["BSB:osc6_bits=55","BSB2:osc6_bits=54","BSB2aa:osc6_bits=53"] sets all chips to speed 55, all chips in slot 2 to speed 54 and a certain chip in slot 2 to speed 53.
You can mix these common/slot/chip settings arbitrarily, though it might result in a very long config line.
1 - BFG have failover function in pool settings ?
2 - What difference in performance between Chainminer and BFG
3 - Confirmed stability on different pool. For example chminer work unstable on Eligius for me.
4 - Where I find complete instruction how run BFGminer on RasperryPi ?
Failover support and correct behavior on all pools are the reasons you should switch from chainminer to BFGMiner. Performance should be equal. There should be compilation instructions on the README files.

tempting ... is it possible to clock each chip separately?
