Ok, i need help. I have a starter kit with 5 h-boards in it.

The web interface shows 132GH/s. However slush's pool only shows 15-21GH/s after several hours.

What am I doing wrong???

Should I only put 4 boards in, spaced on channel 1 of each of the 4 quadrants??

I just got this kit less than 24 hours ago...I gotta be doing something bad. Please help guys.

Thank you

This is a problem with Slush - it oftens takes some time and retries to get working properly.

Set up three different workers on Slush, using difficulty 16.
Point each of the three web proxies to Slush using port 3333, but a different worker for each.
Stop the miner and wait until the noncerate goes to zero.
Restart the proxies.
Start the miner again.

One board in each of the 4 channels a-1, b-1, c-1, d-1. Your 5th card should go into a-2...

My stuff is working OK on Slush with two cards:

Name Shares HashRate
rsb.work_01    37562 (37266)    15309 (15364)
rsb.work_02    41064 (40800)    16736 (16821)
rsb.work_03    46024 (45320)    18757 (18685)

NB: Your hashrate on Slush will usually be 10% under the nonerate. My two cards and three workers generate 10% dupe submissions...

I understand the excitement, stay cool Cheesy

Did you have a look at the FAQ / first steps? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3079405
Please keep in mind that there a different approaches for US and European units.

And don't forget to adjust the difficulty on the pool.

i got my starter kit hooked up,

1. green and black atx motherboard connector jumped
2. sd car in RPI
3. 2 x 6 pin PCIE power cables on the M-board
4. h card in slot 1
5. ethernet cable hooked up.
6. h card components point toward the Rpi

the rPi powers up, i can see a Orange, green, green red light and I feel heat on the h-card.

I cannot ssh or ping 192.168.1.249.

I do not see any new ip addresses on my router as well.

What am I doing wrong?

I was wondering the same when I found out that the rPI got an IP using DHCP Tongue

turns out i had to hook it up to the tv via hdmi. when i logged in it was still setting up the network adapter. It asked me what IP i wish to set it as. After that I still had to manually edit the gateway ip, and subnet gateway. after restarting the gateway worked. I want to also note I checked my router for any attached devices prior to this to see if there was any broadcasting IP address. It found nothing...no mac nor IP. This is on the 9/19/2013 bitfury I received.

Linux since 1997 RedHat 4

If it was using cgminer with --api-listen --api-network --api-mcast
Then you'd simply send a multicast "java MCast" and it would reply

... oh wait ...

Aaaah man i really do not want to hook up a hdmi cable.

Probably nothing. The RPi is likely set to a different subnet than your router. You may have to use keyboard and monitor connected to the RPi to change the interface file to an IP that matches your network.

Do we know which chip is which # in the .stat.log ?

Sure,

you have [board:chip] on every line and on the board chips are numbered from 40 to 4F beside each chip.

Chips start in the lower left corner, connector facing down, go up, then down, then up, then down again reaching the lower right corner of the board.

Yes, it should. Instead of a single SPI path, there are four completely separate "banks" of 4 boards each.

Perfect. Thanks.!

I just posted dropbox links to the V1 & V2 rPi images and chainminer code if you guys need to remake your SD Cards. Please be sure to use the correct image - especially make sure not to use the V2 image or chainminer code on a V1 board!

Check the OP for the support thread I posted (see my sig for link).

The M-boards we shipped out today are all V2, so remember that these boards use 4 distinct SPI channels. If you have 4 hashing cards, you can load them in the slot 1 of each bank for best results.

Also be sure to use two separate PCI-e cables from your PSU to the plugs on the M-board. Using one cable that has two plugs will just put extra load on that cable, possibly dangerous as you increase H-cards.

Tracking numbers should have come to you via email (when FedEx label was printed). If not, I'll check with the shipping team to see whats up.

With regards to Dave's message above. If i have 2 EOL boards, does anyone know if i can connect them to the same M-board (v2.2) in separate SPI channels / banks.
Will that work.?

Where can we find an image of the SD card? My filesystem is messed (fsck currently trying to repair...) because I powered off the rpi too often without proper shutdown. I'm worried I may need to reflash my SD card.

It's my understanding that US users with version 1 m-boards should not upgrade or compile from a git pull. Make sure you use the right image...

But the image (.zip) provided on the 1st page should be ok for v1-m boards?

8. How to update on the most actual chainminer version (gitpull)?

... first .. if it ain't broke don't fix it ...

do backup of your actual bitfury chainminer version...

Code:

pi@bitfury ~ $ cp -a /opt/bitfury /usr/bitfury.backup

Then move to chainminer get latest version clean make ... restart ...

Code:

pi@bitfury ~ $ cd /opt/bitfury/chainminer
pi@bitfury ~ $ git pull
pi@bitfury ~ $ make clean
pi@bitfury ~ $ make

restart the miner ... and hope it will still hash ... :-)
