I blew my fuses as well because the ones that came with mine were 32V.  Once I purchased 12V 30A ones I was fine.  Just my two cents, hope that helps!

They sent you 32V fuses with your Cube?!  Man, no wonder you blew them both.

Anyone have any experience with these power supplies & the cubes?

I had a melted/exploded fuse==now damaged unit on one cube, running 2 cubes on high off one powersupply. The other cube
will run on high but will just fall back to low. 

Thanks

Can you show us the Cube's status page, and the contents of your .bat file?

http://bayimg.com/PaFDpAaFN



I don't have a bat file, I'm running the proxy on a mac.

mining_proxy.py -o mint.bitminter.com -p 3333    or 443 or 5050



if I point the cube directly at bitminter on port 8332 or 80, it connects and tries and gives me a hashrate of 2.9 ghs...

So the problem is deifinitely with the proxy.

I've now got the mining proxy running on a RPi with the same result as when it's running on a mac. I've turned off the wifi on the RPi and plugged it into the router as well without any effect.

Now going to try and give the cube an ip outside of the dhcp range


Changed the ip from 192.168.1.153 to 192.168.1.200, pointed the cube at the proxy on the RPi and it has started receiving work from bitminter. But only appears to be running three blades at 5ghs...

Glad to see it's hashing.  Now that it's doing that but only with three blades, I've only seen this under a few circumstances:

1)  Powersupply is too weak, regardless of what the numbers say (some are sensitive to initial draw, etc)
2)  Some blades aren't seated properly and/or are running too hot - if you haven't already, open it up, tighten the heatsink screws and reseat the blades solidly.
3)  (rarely) Cube is simply "confused" and clicking on the Update button on bottom right can restart it

It's the power supply. I had the exact same problem with 3 cubes, many others here in this thread same, problem, usually with a Seasonic and also with some of the Corsair's with an "X' in the model name. Usually a rebadged Seasonic.  It would run for 1.75 seconds then die once turned on or once the fuze was inserted.

Don't waste your time openeing up(well you can check that everything is tight and the cards are in their slot) , it is not the reason for the problem you are having now. If you go back in the thread you can see there is a solution by putting some Capacitors in line with the power at the back of the cube, but it is a pain in the ass and can be fiddly.  

The two power supply's i have tested and are good to power 2 cubes at a time are the Corsair GS 800  and the thermaltake 840. Both worked fine for me. My Seasonic 1050w was a royal pain in the ass.

Changed the psu and now everything is working well! Thank you!!!

Why does the cube have to be connected to the router - isn't it possible to connect it via ethernet to a computer , either my mac or raspberry pi and have it share the wifi internet connection?

Enough of the doom and gloom

With the help of this forum, I managed to setup a cube and have it running in under 10 mins

after 57minutes uptime it is running 97.42% @ 32,160 MHS.

This is after disassembling and tightening the heat sinks (most were loose) and reseating the blades (several were misaligned).

Cube is running all 0's on low speed (will let it bed in for 24hrs or so b4 I overclock)

Next stage is to setup the stratum proxy on a rasberry PI, again, with the help of this forum.

I thank you all

Brush242: Tye "twib2", you are a ~madman~. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. The two of us together, forget it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I'm gonna volunteer twib2's leadership to this platoon. An army without leaders is like a foot without a big toe. And Sergeant Hulka isn't always gonna be here to be that big toe for us. I think that we owe a big round of applause to our newest, bestest buddy, and big toe...Twib2

Well, okay, hotshot. We're gonna see what kind of soldier you are.

Well, for one, I think your Pool Ports need to match, e.g., 8332,8332.

And, while the OP doesn't do it, Gateway and Primary DNS should match. Both should say 192.168.1.1.

And, well, I would assume that btcguild needs "-u " and "-p " in the .bat file. Try those.


Actually the numbers don't always have to match.... You could have two stratum servers running, a primary and a backup on the same or different machines with different port numbers configured.

Yep, most definitely need to have an accurate gateway address and not some dummy numbers like 0.0.0.0!

Ports don't need to match if you use my anti-cube/blade-restarting solution as above, but then of course you will simply fail back to the primary side.

I have a big problem: i'm trying to fire up a cube, i have a coolermaster v700 (58A on the 12v rail), with the fuse the miner start and after a few second it shutdown, without the fuse the miner starts but the leds are all off and also if i try to navigate on 192.168.1.254:8000 the browser doesn't load anything...

If the cube shutdown within 1-2sec after powering up, your PSU probable got overloaded by the surge in the current draw. Try with a different PSU if you have.

but only with the fkn fuse Angry

Awesome! Thanks for the help, yeah don't know if the numbers I gave you were completely accurate (my cube is at the parents house) hopefully trying your methods above should do the trick!

My miner keeps restarting after around 2.5 minutes of running saw earlier in this thread that it is due to the proxy server and searching for work?  How do you fix this though?
If you have several computers or active IP machines on your subnet, try this:

- Set the first pool address and first miner:pass to the correct place you are serving up proxied work
- Set the second pool address to any other machine in your network that is NOT running a proxy (user:pass has to still be there, but the values don't matter).  You might just be able to keep everything the same and choose any other port that is not serving as a proxy, too.

What will happen is that the Cube will search for work, try the other pool, and bounce back to the first one without getting "confused/stuck-on-stupid" and rebooting.  You keep hashing, and save a lot more hash than constantly restarting.  This works for any single-instance of proxies you might have.

Another solution that works only for slush's stratum proxy is to run 2 separate stratum proxies yourself and put them both on each cube.  When the cube searches for work, it will go back and forth between the two with nary a hiccup.  This second approach does not work for bfgminer proxies since the bfgminer proxy is managed and expects non-sick clients whereas slush's proxy is more "dumb" and just "speaks when spoken to."

Anyway, this worked great for me so I hope it helps!

Best,
- Tye

Post up your settings and batch file that starts the proxy miner.  That's the easiest way for us to help Smiley
