Are you using the same controller (PI) The 841's have a different controller firmware that needs to be flashed onto the PI.

Also if you do have that set properly, did you try switching the cables around you are using to Daisy Chain them, it might be that the first one in the chain is defective. This was just a guess because I don't think the miner lights would be green if this was the case. EDIt: Got my colours switched up might be the cable since this is "idle"

Th firmware thing must be it. I use the latest and greatest at the Canaan site:
https://canaan.io/firmware-releases/
Now that I read it it does seem oriented to the 7XX series. Does anyone have a different link?
(specifically, I used openwrt-brcm2708-bcm2710-rpi-3-ext4-sdcard )
Thanks again!!

All this is covered in the official Avalon 821 and 841 threads...
Never used something like GIT I take it? Use the link "Parent Directory" a few times and you get to Index of /downloads/software/
Navigate down from there.

Thanks - I have used GIT but the "downloads" page at Canaan threw me. Just figured where I landed would have the 841 support in the latest version link...

Anyways, no love. Downloaded, burnt, booted, configured. The dashboard indicates the 3/5/18 version but still the same symptoms.

Overview
Controller Version: Avalon Firmware - 20180305
Time: Sun Jul 16 12:05:47 2017
CGMiner Elapsed: 2:38

In a really weird development - the "Advanced" screen won't come up in this new version. When I click on it, I get the same info the "Status" tab in the advanced screen would give, but in the "Basic" theme with no link to the other advanced tabs. When I burnt the microsd I did a verify too so not sure what is up with that...

(strike that - a reboot of the controller gave me my advanced screen back...)

I'll try to find those threads...

I'll clarify. I have an S7 that is hashing on two boards (2.8 TH/s). I would like 2x $400 coupons to go towards S9's to be pointed at Kano Pool. If I can acquire 2 more coupons, I will donate the S7 to a member mining on Kano Pool if they promise to keep it here.
I've had some interest on trading for the S7, so if someone has 2 coupons they can get me, I will just donate the S7 to that person. I'm not looking for $200 coupons at the moment. Thanks all

Interesting... I have an S7 with only ONE working board (575MHz).

Seems like a perfect match, but I only have a $400 and $220 as the highest coupons in my account. Thoughts?

Get someone to donate the second one so you can have my S7 Grin

That was actually me. I goofed up, but I've received a couple messages saying Bitmain will give it back if I explain to them and I did so we will see.
If you have another coupon though.....I'm looking for 2 over $400 towards S9's FOR KANO POOL ONLY!! I will also donate an S7 running on Kano to another willing member pledging to keep it on Kano. All I need are 2 more coupons @ $400+ each. Just 2 more!!

Oh you're the other one i gave a 420 to. Just as back as pecker hahah.

Sorry pecker.

I hope they get that coupon back to you. I don't have any more of the 420s to give out.

If they dont get it back to you let me know and i'll hook you up with a 220.

Wait, is someone giving away S7s for coupons? If so, let me know!

We are close to 60 %... should be another block within the next 6.3 %

Speaking of which... I cant recall who was looking for coupons to buy mroe hardware.

I have a 350 USD one, and 9x $100USD to Give away.

So If you are nice... and contribute something to this pool and are going to buy an S9 to run on KANO msg me, I will have a hard time picking.... but ill pick someone...

Sorry I skim through messages so I cant recall who was posting that they needed one or two...

If you mine with solar power on batteries you will almost always come out worse off than if you just bought the power at residential retail rates. You have to factor in wear and tear on the batteries - which by itself can be greater than just buying the electricity. On another note - if mining on solar power skip the inverters and power supplys and use direct current DC converters.

Great in theory, hard in practice due to the wire gauges involved in carrying the current to your miner. Math: 13.5Th at 0.098w/GH = 1323 watts at 12V = 110.25 amps. Would you really be willing to run 00 gauge wire to each miner and then break that down to (9) 6-pin connectors?

That's exactly what I wana do! I was going to make a pair of 10ga dongles (one + one - yes) connected to the three + and three - wires of the 6 pin, then run ten such dongles(?is that the term? its fun to say!) to each miner. Connect the 10ga to a buss built off my battery bank and provide grid assist w/a regular battery charger. Think it'll work? Dont need heavier gauges except for the battery bank buss

I have a problem that seems odd, and probably isn't related to the pool or my configuration related to the pool but I thought I would start here.

So I have a brand new set-up. 4 Avalon 841s daisy chained to one AUC3 hooked to one raspberry PI 3 controller. I have nothing but love from all the lights on all the equipment: All green(controller, miners, and AUC3) and all fans spin up just fine. The controller doesn't see any of the miners tho )-: There is nothing in the Pi logs insofar as errors are concerned.

The pool website shows my worker uptime as reasonable (since I powered up the controller) and I changed nothing in my configuration from my previous setup with an Avalon 741 which worked fine. I reset all the little serial connectors and even tried to connect just one miner with no success.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Using the closest Server (lowest ping) ensures the work your miners are given and return use the fastest path to do it. They say in life, timing is everything. Ping each of the servers and use the Top 3 fastest ones.
