Hi studio,

Thanks for offering to help.  I have a customer who's getting the following Cgminer API error on his 230G Avalon2 clone.

[Firmware Version] => 20131110
cgminer: 176747f
cgminer-openwrt-packages: 0e12b1b
luci: 346e3e7
Socket connect failed: Connection refused

He has confirmed the following for me:

- using pool stratum.btcguild.com:3333
- configuration page looks good, no typos
- API Allow is correctly set to "W:127.0.0.1"
- he can ping out to stratum.btcguild.com and IP resolves correctly
- "cgminer" process is not currently running when we check Processes tab
- he has tried other pools aside from btcguild with no luck

Any idea what the problem might be?  I tested the device before shipping and it was working fine.

Thanks for any help.  I have been reading that updating the firmware might help, but I'm not sure where to get the firmware.

without upgraded cooling we found that they tend to run best at 1400. Beyond that the speed increase was negated by the fault increase.

We have them case open, in the loading bay of a warehouse. totally unheated and uninsulated, with a few large house fans blowing on them. At this we can keep temps to sub 42.

They are seriously not like Jupiters, the colder you keep them, the less errors and the faster the hash rate.

I guess environmental factors are massive but for us 1400 in a really cool environment gave us the best balance of reliability and speed.

Do you know what stock mhz and temps are? And what a safe overclock would be? Thanks!

I now have 10 of these 200 GH/s machines hashing away quite happily here and have been through most potential problems with them, from Chinese changing subnet masks, to faulty WiFi modules and heat issues.

If I can be of any help to anyone who has one and is having problems please feel free to ask in here or PM, would be happy to offer help if I can.
