[2014-01-29 02:51:56] BSB 1cj: 8 of the last 9 results were bad, reinitializing

Can anyone tell me how to disable that chip in bfgminer? I have tried using 53, 54, etc. and I keep getting the above message. Other than that everything is fine. Thanks!

ok, now it's happening to me; again.

absolutely no hashing with one of my 14 card rigs.  changed out SD cards and raspi.  can login into admin page but no hashing.  took rig apart and checked for any burnt boards (none) and blew out M board connector in case of excess oxidation (none apparent).

what were all the suggestions given for this frequent problem?


I've said it many times before, so I'll let you scroll up for details, but you need to check the output of chainminer and the proxies.

i only have 2 screens:

Code:
pi@192-168-7-243:~$ sudo screen -r
There are several suitable screens on:
2069..192-168-7-243 (28/01/14 23:39:27) (Detached)
2063..192-168-7-243 (28/01/14 23:39:27) (Detached)

here's some of the output of 2069:

Code:
JOB 145 PROCESSED 0.005 sec [nonces:0 errors:368 spi:48 miso:67 dup:0] (queue:0) 
JOB 146 PROCESSED 0.006 sec [nonces:0 errors:366 spi:51 miso:67 dup:0] (queue:0)

I tried the card just by itself and actually changed it's position in the chain.
Didn't matter where I placed it, as any card after it was not showing at all. (including this card)


Okay, thanks. That will be helpful to remember for future troubleshooting.

Ok guys, I need some assistance Smiley

I had an August kit with 2 boards (~47Gh/s)
so the M-Board is V1.0
on Friday I got 10 more boards and placed them 1st in-line then added my 2 pre-existing boards with last board being EOL one.
All this was powered by a 1Kw PS that died on me Sunday evening.
So I had it running about 48 hours.
All the new boards are stock = not overclocked.

Now I placed a spare 430W PS on the BF rig and it runs, however I can only see 96 chips running = 1st 6 cards.

Any ideas why it doesn't see the rest?

Thanks

  you can do test on pcb that mboard did not see if it's working ok by itself.

Looks likew the card ain't working Sad RMA time

What test did you do to determine the card wasn't working?

Upon inspecting the card
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sg34hw5u2v4y8rj/2014-01-27%2007.12.17.jpg
Look at the pins above C441 and C44E
The pins are shorted (or whatever the terms for that is)
Upon further inspecting the card at last 4 chips have solder across 2 pads like that.
Those pads are power (VDD) and are internally shorted anyway, so that's not the problem.
If (for the same chip U44) the pins on the left (with no caps) are shorted, then that may be a problem.

So when I look at the board with chips facing me and the writing is upright, the flow is going from the left to the right side and those cant be shorted, right?

 dont worry all of them connect to grd.


edit: all start with Cxxx same and you can check with meter.

All of those are power.
Look at each chip with the white circle (on the board near the chip corner - that's pin 1 mark) at top right.

First check if the boards are still OK by running 6 boards at a time. Do this for the other 6 boards too.
Then add 1 board at a time till you get issues.
Looks like a PSU problem. 430W is probably not enough for 12 boards.
Also try to spread your boards. Skip positions on the M-board.
Its ok to run XXXO-XXOX-XOXO-XXXX for example, X being a board.
(Some will say the boards need to be adjacent, but I have an M-board running with skipped positions without problems).

Ok, here is an update.
I tried a 480W PS no change, I opened a new 1KW PS and no change.
I shutdown the miner and yanked the card #7 and moved the rest up the chain.
Miner is UP with 168 chips showing which is what it's supposed to be in my case with this 1 card out of it.

Does anyone have advice on connecting to Bitminter via stratum proxy with a Bitfury rig?

I'm trying to connect using stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com (on the admin page), and the noncerate is just flashing 0GH/s. I can't figure it out.

mint.bitminter.com   3333     username_workername    password

Sorry for the confusion, but do I put 'mint.bitminter.com' or 'stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com' on the Bitfury admin page?

Right now I'm using port 3333 along with stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com. The username and worker details appear to be correct as well. All other pools work fine (BTC Guild, Slush's Pool, etc.), but for some reason I can't connect to Bitminter.


just mint.bitminter.com

Yup, that was it. Thanks for your help.
