Question:
Is it okay to connect wires from two molex from the PSU than just getting a splitter? Do you HAVE to have a splitter? If not then what is the alternative. I didnt seem to find any here..

You can cut the wires on your PSU and connect them directly to the green plug.

It's cleaner to do with the splitters though, and gives you a little more length to work with.

My issue is:

PSU will not stay on while connected to blade.
Will power on when NOT connected to blade.
So I went out and bought another PSU. Same issue. Yes Im using the paperclip in the appropriate pins.

it happened to me at first then i checked the cables that goes inside the green thing and it was loose after that it is smooth sailing

So it's a cable issue between the wires and that green adapter you put them in that plugs into the blade. Yes?

yes i unscrewed it you can see it there is a square that goes up and down with the screw put the wire in tight and screw it back

and give it a try

its been running sold for 12 hours now

I am assuming the new blades have a gigabit network connection. Does anyone know how to force them to 100mb full duplex?

They have a 10MB connection.

You and me both! I've got the interface sorted. Using firefox on ubuntu. I think it was because I didn't have the trailing comma on the server and user:pass fields. Now that's sorted, next question stratum or gwp? I'm using bitminter.com as from previous posts this pool works with these blades.

Yes, specifying only 1 destination on any of the fields makes it go super funky.

And Yes, BitMinter works..
But, I tried out stratum via proxy, as Pistachio said, and yeah it is a hell of a lot more stable over stratum than directly from the blade.

The commandline for the proxy is very simple. don't try specifying a bunch of things, just let it do its thing.

Yes to the above. Now running a proxy on a VM running on my 8 core. Will do as suggested next. All fpgas and asics running full tilt now. Nice! If it's working why fix it. Like the idea of the stratum proxy server working on the pi though. (best £30 I ever spent).

can i have 2 different usernames and passwords for different pools?

yes

username1:pass1,username2:pass2

make sure listed as

pool1,pool2

port1,port2

BTW, blades will always try to return to the first pool listed it seems

where do i list pool1 pool 2

under ports i have 8332,8332

now one pool i connect to it 3333 which is the first pool the second pool is port 80

how do i set them up?

Sounds good. Never used BFGminer before, so looking forward to the next learning curve. Will it cope with my FPGA's and USB asics as well? I guess this question belongs on another thread. As I said before I was using minepeon on the pi as it ran the usb asics from boot. I spent some time pissing about with drivers trying to get CGminer to recognise them on raspbian. minepeon is light and has no apt-get to install so I haven't spent any time trying to tweak it yet.

Running USB asics and getwork server through one instance of BFGminer on the pi right now.. All of my hardware connects as one 20GH miner. BFGminer definitely has support for FPGA. Will it run in the same instance as the blades and USB? You are probably right about that being a question for another thread..Perhaps this one?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/old-bfgminer-3100-modular-asicfpga-gbtstrtm-rpc-maclnxw64-antu1-drb-168174

I say give it a shot. It will probably work.. Just gonna have a shitload of flags to set I'm sure, but thats no biggie.

Here is the readme for running ASIC w/ BFGminer

YES! Hello world! I have hashes! Local stratum proxy is the answer. Thank you all for your help. Got to set-up a stratum proxy on a pc now. Late night looming.

Why not just run BFGminer on the pi? You got it running already, and could easily just compile BFGminer and use the getwork option. Just my 2 cents...

Cool, I'm just formating a sd card for my raspberry pi with a backup image. I had a stratum proxy running on that before so I could run my ztex fpgas on it. Recently I changed it to minepeon (proxy not required with this) so I could also run my usb asics on that. I know the proxy is working on it so I can nail down the problem if the blade still won't work.
