Is there a way to force submit stales. For some reason miner(not just this one) think it is a stale share but it is not. I'm loosing up to 20% to his...

What would cause this? So many scenarios impossible to pin point the problem. They're dead, not mining.





I had a similar situation with GHash (Multipool) and with MagicPool. I gave up on those pools and now everything is working properly with Nicehash, Clevermining, etc. Try changing your pools and see what happens.

Someone mentioned the importance of a good USB hub and I second that. If you are powering a RasPi or something else from the same hub where you are connecting your Blades, don't be cheap and buy a decent hub. I'm using one powered by a 2A source. Plenty of juice for my Pi, my Netgear Wi-Fi adapter and to properly connect my 2 Blades

Tried to use Minera but the interface I saw in the screenshots here,never showed up at all and secondly it won't connect to my wifi network as I can't access ethernet where I live so I'd like someone to create a plug and play solution that connects via Wi-fi for me.In case you're wondering I'm a new user of this who's frustrated with lack of support for Wifi and thought I'll go back to dealing with what I know instead of trying to make this work as I don't have the time (I run a mining contracts business on top of being a freelance professional video editor and time is money.Using beta software is never a good idea for people like me as they'll be things in there I just don't like and I'm not prepared to deal with the risk associated with it).

I'm only contributing here so I can be sure that the developers understand that the GUI and wifi support should happen out of the box,like it does with a windows PC or a mac and that these features are added.

i tried to split them on more hubs. that doesn´t get better.
i also tried a more expensive hub. same problem.

what makes a hub a good hub?

Another Problem.

Seams like cpuminer doesn´t detect the blades correctly. Sometimes i have to restart the miner several times, to get them all running.

I haven't Blades but I know they need really good USB powered Hub when they arent' "alone". Did you try to connect one or two Blades only?

Hi Guys,

i didn´t have Problems with the Grids but now i got a couple of blades and i´m running into problems with them.

I´ve got two voltmodded with 7 MHash on a separate PI and they work fine.

The others are standart with 5 Mhash and these are having the Problems.
When i start mining, they all work but then one after one dies away. After two hours they are all dead.

Any Idea what to do?

The first one I have to reproduce that (Browser? Can you look at the cpuminer log when you click to see if something happens?)

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm using Safari 6.1.4 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

This might just be a display problem, or a delay in switching the pools. Because while tailing the log in a terminal window, I pressed the button to switch to another pool, then went to look a the log. Nothing interesting happened so I switched back to Safari. At that point the browser updated and it appeared to have switched pools. So I went back to the Terminal window and saw the "Starting Stratum on…" message indicating a pool switch.

Maybe the switch doesn't kick in until a browser update cycles along? Maybe cpuminer needs another API call to "goose" it into actually using the changed pool?

The second one is simple, the problem is: I don't overwrite the settings when switching a pool from the dashboard, it's completely on-the-fly and not permanent, it just sends the command to cpuminer without saving anything. But of course, if you prefer and you think it's better I can easily add the save too.

I understand the non-permanence issue. While that's important to consider, I think it's not the effect I'm seeing here.

My guess is that when you start cpuminer with the pool list from a config file, that establishes the failover order. If you later use the API to tell cpuminer which one to use, and that one fails at some point, maybe cpuminer goes back to the original list provided in the config file.

Does Sandor's JSON API allow you to specify all of the pools dynamically, or can you only tell it which one is current? I think what would be needed here to round out the feature and prevent the need for a restart of the miner is the ability to provide the entire list via the JSON API, re-establishing the failover order.

Regarding the permanence issue, I think it would be nice to have the option to be able to save the order change. Or maybe you just always save it without asking when the order is changed.

In my use case, I rarely change the pool order. When I make a change, it's because I'm dissatisfied with a pool's profitability (or something) and I want to use another one. At that point I might not make another pool order change for weeks. It would be nice to have that change be permanent so that if something bad happens, my rig doesn't go back to the original order.

There are some issues with the feature of dynamically selecting a pool. Basically I switched pools the other day, and I did it from the dashboard instead of changing the order in the pool in the settings and restarting.

The first issue was that I had to click the "Select This" button twice. The first time didn't seem to do anything. Or at least it didn't show any differences in the pool selection in the dashboard.

The second issue is that last night the pool that I dynamically selected must have had a connectivity problem. When I woke up this morning, the rig had switched back to the first pool in my settings, not the one that I had dynamically selected.

Already reported the first issue in the thread, I confirm it's really difficult to select a new pool.

The second issue... I don't think it's really an issue, I think it's the default behavior, and I find it better to be like this Smiley But it would be nice if we could opt for what we want.

For who asked Latest Minera image for RPi is here

(Or just click my signature and scroll down the page)

As for browsers, happens in the ones I use the most: Opera and Mobile Safari. Also tested on IE, same thing, but as you've said, IE is really bad. I can test on other browsers if needed. CPUminer log continues as normal after clicking. If I click fast 3 or 4 times, I manage to get the pool switched, and the log finally says the API requested a pool change.

Are these voltmodded? I noticed the 1200mhz speed and now I'm wondering if it's possible to blow up your gridseeds if you overclock them too much.

A safe speed all gridseeds will work decently on is 850 mhz and just start editing from there.

i have added the guest view by my own:
pretty hardcoded... just removed the login check and all settings page stuff
works so far but hopefully you will add this to the core script Smiley


http://img4.bilder-hochladen.tv/zL9Nr0LP.png


Can you share the code needed to do this?  I might like to tinker   Grin Roll Eyes

Pretty Easy:

Go to application/controllers/app.php

and add these lines to the end of the index() function
Code:

$this->session->set_userdata("loggedin", 1);
redirect('app/dashboard');
the login page is gone now.
then remove everything which should not visible for guests from
application/views/dashboard.php and sidebar.php

best regards,

what code did you use to add the mining contract timer?

What it seems like is the pool order specified in the settings seems to ultimately "win" over any dynamic selected pool if that pool has a connection problem. Given that, I think that the only safe way to manage pools currently is to change their order in the settings and restart the miner. That's what I did this morning.

What would be really nice would be if we can change the pool order in the settings without restarting the miner, and have that take immediate affect. That in combination with the dynamic selection of a pool would be a big improvement in pool management.

Maybe it does in fact already work that way, but I didn't try it and have no way to confirm it.

someething weird is happening, it`s been running fine but for about 2 hours now, the front end is not updating the stats, the command all work and i can restart the miner but i got no stats, no matter what i try,
i tried reboot, updating manually via ssh. restart the miner etc. in ssh i see cpuminer working fine.

Probably something stuck in the PHP but i don`t know enought to go play in there.

any help would be appreciated.

i really need to start backing up my ssd card when everything is working good.  Tongue

Yes I am a pirate, 300 years too late!
OK downloaded and burned the latest version of Minera, looks great.  But I can't get it to save the pool.  I delete the default pool, add a new one, save.  If I go to the dashboard and then back the default pool is back.  What am I missing here?  This looks much better than the blade software I have been using!!!

Are you sure you are adding a valid Pool URL? Try to add your pool leaving the default one, if it works, then remove the default one a re-sort yours.
You should look also at the application log (in /var/log/minera/-log.php)

I had the same issue.  I ended up having to edit the config file to delete the default pool.

mmm, wrong permission on file?

Code:
chmod 777 /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json

Sorry for sounding like a total Noob, but the whole pi controller thing is new to me.  I ssh into the controller, I'm assuming the ID/PW is minera/minera.  and reallty set nothing.  Just one file, no directories.  Also (since I'm out of town today), what is the link to the latest image?  Just want to make sure I have the latest and greatest.  Screwed around with this a while last night, and michelem, been doing a good share of mining under your name!  Like everything I restarted the box!!  Cheesy

I have been using Minera for few weeks and I am very pleased with it. I am now running the latest version but two days ago I started having an unusually high number of rejected shares (above 15%).

This is happening is a general way with all my pools: nicehash, clevermining, waffle, profithash, multi ghash, etc...

Anyone else experiencing the same?

Any ideas?

PS: I am running two Gridseed Blades

If you're scrypt mining a great place to check for stales/rejects if it is the program or your pools or your ISP is litecoinpool.org. You should get 0.00% rejected rate and 0.02% stale rate. If it is high, it might be you, your connection, network. I am at nice hash for about 0d 7h 8m 59s and got 0.00% / 0.43% Error/Rejected rates.

I'd like to see 0.00% rejected at all these multicoin pools but this is the pool owners. Best pool owner is pooler. outstanding developer. lowest anything I've ever seen.

Mind you, you will be mining litecoin while testing.

I managed to partially fix the issue by changing the hub. Apparently there is something wrong with this brand new one I was using  Angry

But I appreciate your suggestion and I’ll give it a try.

Cheers
