Finally got to the dashboard and put in all the required info, but none of the miners start up they all say offline.
I also see that when I add the workernames that I made (seperated with commas) and I hit the submit and restart button, I don't see the workers names show up next to the LTC Miner names for example LTC Miner 1:24 (workername not listed here) only says LTC Miner 1:24
I tried different mining pools to, with no luck and seen some people talking about turning something off and on, but they don't describe what exactly to turn off and on. Is there anything else I need to unplug and plug back in as well? any help is greatly appreciated!
Have you put a pool in the SHA-256 pool? Even if you're not going to dual mine and have it disabled you need to have a pool entered. Just enter anything.
Yes I just copied the scrypt pool into into the sha-256 pool fields and have enabled for sha-256 unchecked. it just says offline for the miner :/
PLEASE HELP!
after 2 days of troubleshooting this I'm finally at the dashboard and see all my 10 miners but they are all OFFLINE and I can't get them to hash at all.
I have setup the scrypt pool and filled in stuff on the SHA-256 as well and left the enabled button unchecked (I just want to mine scrypt anyway)
I tried doing the steps from worldlybedouin listed below with no luck as well...
1. Unplug power cable from TP-Link controller
2. Turn off the USB hub switch (or unplug the hub from the controller)
3. Remove all the USB cables from the hub except 1 of them
4. Plug in the TP-Links power cable
5. Allow the controller to start up and "settle" a bit (~2mins or so)
6. Make sure the controller dashboard shows no devices connected and says something about connecting a USB hub
7. Flip the power switch on the USB hub so now the 1 miner is connected to the controller
8. REfresh the Dashboard to see the 1 miner show up
9. Wait to let that 1 miner start hashing away
10. Next, plug in the remaining miners 1 by 1...about 1 min apart from each other
I would stop following that guide at step 4 and just plug in all of the miners at once. Also, turn everything off when you want to reset your miners. You can wait about ten seconds for the blue light to stop blinking and then turn on the USB hub. Now see what you have. What pool are you using? I know wafflepool will work with these miners, so use that one for testing purposes. Make sure to put a real BTC mining pool info into the BTC field (do not enable). It may take 1-2 minutes for the miners to turn from offline to online (close the browser window and open a new one with your TPlink ip address). Try switching the frequency to 750 if they do not change to online in 5 minutes.
Next you can try turning the frequency down to 600 and turning the usb hub off and on. If this does not work, double check that the connections are tight and try to identify which miner is not running (does not flash like the others). Then switch it to a different power cable and USB cable to see if the problems moves with it.
. The other controller isn't recognized by my router. This means I can only run 10 units right now (only half of my order). I tried all 20 on one controller but it wont use all the miners and only gets 3mh total. Not happy with this situation. Is the lightningAsic brand the only controller that disables sha-256? I need a controller (that disables sha-256 and only mines scrypt) fast.
