Thank you for your answer.

The power is 460 W. Is this enough?

I'm sorry, I honestly don't know, not familiar enough. I guess what I'm more or less proposing is for you to ensure the unit is getting adequate power. Is 460w the power requirement? If so, is your unit getting that much power? Awhile ago when I was deciding to get a BF device, I remember there being an issue with the latest version. Come to think of it... The second time the thought came to mind to buy a BL device it was their 50 Gh unit! I think they discontinued the 60 because of power and are now selling the 50Gh unit in its place. I'm 90% sure it was this 60Gh unit I though about getting from eBay or Amazon, then checked BL site only to find they weren't offering the 60 Gh anymore. Naturally I had to find out why.

If this turns out to be your issue, please say so on my rep thread

Your earnings are sent to the address specified at the pool. I don't own and never owned one of these devices, but when I had a lil asic mining farm, I didn't realize full hash power until the proper power requirements was met. That mean I had to buy better quality USB hubs. But different devices, probably won't solve your issue, but have you checked to make sure your unit is getting enough power?

Hi,

am just setting my cgminer under Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit for my first time, using the bitcoincz pool.

After I started it, however, I got these errors:

Code:

after few minutes,

the errors cleaned up by themselves, and I got:

So as far I see, the stats see that I am mining with 16.34Gh/s.

However, my butterfly miner is 60 Gh/s. Why is that?

And second question is, where do I get my earned my funds, as I never specified a wallet?

Thanks in advance
