Topic: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive RockMiner New R-Box Setup [HD] - page 3. (Read 23616 times)
Just purchased one to add to my collection of Misc miners to tinker with in my spare time. Will post some info on getting it running on a raspberry pi shortly after i get it
I'm not actually sure what the current beginner scypt hardware is as that side of the market has gone a bit weird since GAW went rogue.
tbh, the altcoin asic mining market was only non-weird for a short time as it is. Bernik, we can pick this up in the altcoins section or over on litecointalk (search that section/forum first though), but given your limited budget you're pretty much looking at older tech as it is.. dualminers (USB or the 5-chip 'infinity' pod), or Zeus Blizzard. Pretty much everything else is either vaporware, or well over your budget. And yes, then there's the GAW thing in particular, but hosted/cloud mining in general. 
Hi, newbie here. We talked by email. As I was saying, I'm interested in starting solo mining. I've already a pool in which I have 2 HashCloud contracts ( https://cointellect.com/?code=f3c72dc1 ) and so I'd like to mine there. The cryptocoin is Dogecoin so I think this miner (which doesn't work with scrypt mining) can't be used.
I was wondering if It's a good choiche to keep mining there or to try this miner and move on. In any case, could you suggest me some good scrypt miners to start with that doesn't exceed 200$ ?
Thanks in advance.

Correct, this miner won't work for dogecoin as its sha256 not scypt. I'm not actually sure what the current beginner scypt hardware is as that side of the market has gone a bit weird since GAW went rogue.

Yup, Slush's avg ghs is bringing me back down to reality...Its stating 114.5...
But I am noticing a big difference in ghs depending on which version of CGminer i am using...4.5 & 4.6 show the biggest ghs, 4.7 & 4.8 are more or less in-line with what i am getting at the pool...I won't load 4.9 because my virus-scan thinks CGminer is infected and quarantines it - Lol...
Still running the box at -- rock freq 350 - temps around 35c with ambient temps of 16c...was running at 43c with ambient temps of 24c...Did R-Box put out a recommendation on temps?
Dogie - thanks for the advice on multiple R-boxes and putting this post up...

They're BE200s so can run quite a bit hotter without problems, like 50C hotter before you even consider them hot. CGMiner displays may differ because CK may have altered displays or code for certain products in between versions, but the latest version is always going to be the best.

Finally got my New R-Box running today – was trying the setup with a Raspberry PI B+ / and cgminer, but I couldn’t find a working disk image…Gave up and connected the New R-box to my laptop – works fine for now, ordered the older Raspberry PI…
Set the --rock freq to 350 and I am seeing gh/s anywhere from 120 to 159…The average is 132 gh/s
…I hope i don’t burn the box out, but this was the setting recommended by eyeboot.com…
Question – Are there any links out there on how to connect multiple R-Boxes?

What are you getting at the pool? There should be no difference with using multiple R-boxes, just put them on a powered hub and you're good to go.

is it normal to see WU: 4.2/m or is that too low a rate
ahh ok so I was using the American sellers specs but when I go to Rockminer they state that its a 110 gh machine. The seller is saying that its a 120 gh machine and they also provided the cgminer. Thanks 
Yeah they're ~100Gh, after that you're likely blowing power for the sake of it.

I am new here but from all the searching on the web and such I'm seeing that the recommended settings for the new rBox is 350 command line should be something like:
cgminer.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --rock-freq 350 -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u usernameone_1 -p 12345
cgminer.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --rock-freq 350 -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u usernameone_1 -p 12345
330 should get you up to full speed.

do I have a defective miner because I can only get a hash rates of 300 mh/s - 900 mh/s and sometimes get 2GH/s
Are you on the latest cgminer? Can you post a screenshot please?

Alright. Changing to 330 pulled me up to ~94 GH/s according to cgminer, 83 GH/s according to BTC Guild. Better, but still less than expected.
I have a Raspberry Pi laying around from an old project. I may try to set it up on that and see what I get.

Dogie, your instructions on first page still state frequency 270. Maybe its time to edit that to read 320.
Fixed, think I broke it with the last update.
Followed your directions and got everything running on the first try. Only getting ~80GH/s with cgminer, though.
Not sure how to address that, but I'll look for other versions of cgminer and maybe try bfg in hopes of getting the advertised 100+GH/s.
edit: good error rate, though... about 0.17%

Are you using 330 clock speed? 5000th post.
Ahh, I didn't realize that's what the 270 was about. I've only ever done CPU and GPU mining (ccminer, sgminer, claymore), so I haven't gotten around to reading documentation on cgminer. I guess I was too anxious to play with my new toy.
I'll change that to 330 when I get back home. Thanks!
