Topic: New Official AMT Thread - page 139. (Read 149454 times)

I suggest you read again the PM that we exchanged.   

Fact is,  I'm still sitting here with a large brick because I don't have the cable that AMT also forgot to send.

Then you should have no problem paying the 40 bucks in shipping as you indicated you wpuld do before I sent it.

geez. I try to help a fellow board member out with an extra part that was sent to me and I still get screwed.


This community sucks.

Of course but also as real is the fact that unless this is checked out first before just installing, it could cause whats left of the miner to burst into flames if things like voltage settings and such are not taken into account when powering it up. Alot can go wrong with an untested version of software. That said, I did see you asked about AMT hardware. So if the answer is positive there then maybe its doable. Hopefully they reply with a good answer on that.

Or nothing at all (in my case!)

AMT miners work with different settings than the coincraft miners. While their firmware MIGHT work, its not a guarantee. Its one of those at your own risk situations.....but then the DIY kits are kind of that already.

me and mellorbo own the same miner just split the cost 50/50 and take 50/50 minus power costs each. i posted the 24hr pool graph and the weeks pool graph earlier in the week lol
sorry if i sound like i am having a major go at you but the pool graph is not the b-all and end all of this setup. its kinda irrelevant  as amt screen gives a good enough representation of speeds.

right loshia im notrmaly a cool guy.


FUCK THE POOL GRAPH F?UCK IT TO HELL

one card mined at 0ghs!!!! ZERO, NADA, ZILCH, FUCK ALL i used the "software" changed a few settings of the card and bingo card pulls 200ghs+/- pool and amt screen. that was my point. a dead board that wouldnt mine was revived!!!!! whats hard to comprehend? now if it was doa in the sense its missing chips or generally fucked then yes software will not fix that.

but if it shows up whaen you type

cgminer -DT

as 5x a1 chip chains detected then you may be able to tweak it to revive the board

if you have problems with your hardware i.e one/two or more boards not mining throuh the amt splash web gui thing do the following

log into your miner via putty or an hdmi cable direct into the pi. much easier through the putty method as you can scroll

then type killall cgminer it may or may not display something, if not it killed it, if it says no process it was already dead

next type cgminer -DT exactly as typed it will display a load of info then say no pool details specified

it will display something like a1 chip chain detected 8 chips. then loads of stuff and at the end of each chains info will say something like 8 chips detected 256 actice cores, or less as 256 is the max cores
this should repeat as many times as you have boards. i believe the first set of info is the furthest board from the ribon working left to right..

now if it saye a1 chip detected
no a1 chip
a1 chip detected
no a1 chip
a1 chip detected
and you have 3 boards happy days all 3 show
if on the other hand you have 5 boards and get the no a1 chip chain detected your board is not responding

if thats the case i dont think it can be fixed.

but if it say a1 chip chain detected and at the lower section says 8 chips detected less than 250 cores then its not functioning correctly but may be able to be fixed.

it will also output each chip per card so something like

chip1 32 cores
chip2 32 and so on. if a chip fails cores it will say

weak chip detected 10 cores threshold 32 or something very similar

i wish i had screen shots to hand but as my miner is at another persons house its hard to get.

And how this affects your POOL graph?

Ah my mistake. I miss understood.

I just filed all of mine the same day when I filed.

I know whatcha mean. The lil Atom PC I have for my TV mmedia is the the BTC core host (only takes 20 w) with a 60gb ssd in it. Shocked the hell otta me to see that massive chunk taken! Found out you can relocate the db so moved it to my 12TB NAS bucket. Works perfect.

why thankyou very much sir!

i already have the bitcoin client of which i had it running on a clean hdd. untill it decided to clutter my main one and FILL it grrrr.

anywho was hoping to mine say hunter coin or something of which the miner puts a solo share size equal to diff so maybe zet..... see how it goes

I'd say PM ISAWHIM about the settings. He is/was part of the A1 chip dev thread and should know or point ya to someone from there who does...

On solo mining: DL the full Bitcoin core client onto a small pc with a lot of storage (currently the blockchain db is just under 19GB) and run it in server mode. Point the miner at the PC's ip address and hash away.
Oh, there is a bootstrap file of the blockchain current up to Jan of this year last I looked that reduces the time to get the whole blockchain to 'only' about a day or 2. The feed is purposely throttled to keep you bandwidth usage very low.

Nothing at you man. You posted info people could use and it was an opinion. My issue was with one person who posted NOTHING of use. Just basically loled at our circumstances. Anyway I am just moving on. Got better things to do than waste time with him.

But here are the settings I found in the AMT folder.
/mineros/AMT/a1.mode.0 16000:750000:2000 (powersave mode)
/mineros/AMT/a1.mode.1 16000:800000:4000 (nominal?)
/mineros/AMT/a1.mode.2 16000:750000:4000 (turbo?)

The settings are a bit weird. But these are the 3 settings. Not sure which is which. Only one I am sure of is powersave. I would guess a1.mode.2 is nominal but maybe someone from AMT can confirm that. I just want to understand what I am doing here to avoid frying hardware. Plus its useful for anyone else using bitmines settings. For those running cgminer from an ssh console instead of web interface.

Anyway I might have it sorted out. Hopefully.

Ok I did some looking at the files. AMT has its own folder in the /mineros. They are a bit different than the defaults bitmine uses. I will post more later. I am still looking at it all. And for the record looking not modifying anything.

just to clarify what i said the amt miner runs with mode 0/1 16000:750000:4000 (i believe to be the power save and nominal setting in web gui) and mode 2 16000:800000:8000 as the "turbo" setting dunno if altering these settings to the bitmine a1 options of   16000:800000:8000 nominal or 16000:1000000:8000 turbo would make a difference except generate excess heat and blow it up!

my wonder is if you can "solo" mine on the machine or with it. would i need to install a wallet on the kernel sd? if so i wouldnt want to even try. linux is a pain. or could you somehow run byproxy through pc and router like a gateway?

The driver is open source and so is cgminer so I could take a look at that code. Thanks for the info. Gives me a starting point until I get a reply. I already emailed asking about what I can do to get this working. The LEPA was inconsistent on both machines. I know I have the juice on the circuits to run these things.

16000:1000000:8000,  is the bitmine turbo setup so the above will be bitmines setup for nominal yes

but the amt machine runs 16000:750000:4000 as a1 option i believe in nominal and  16000:800000:8000 as turbo.
