It's highly likely that your hub can not provide enough power for 33 USB block eruptors simultaneously.  In fact, from your experiments, it seems to not be able to provide enough power for more than 7 at a time.  What power levels is it rated at?  Each block eruptor will need 0.5 - 0.6 Amps.

Power Supply is fine, coming from Win7 where they work.  Sparkle 400 is 30A@5v.  Thanks!

They're all hashing.

10890Mhs/333Mhs=32.7

Exactly.  It's driving me nuts that there's no work!

Why not use 3.3.1?  I had to upgrade from 3.1 to get my 61 erupters working, but they are working fine on 3.3.1.

Think for yourself
Hi all, trying to test and use 33 USB Block Erupters and a 49 port usb hub (7x7) on a BeagleBone Black (MineNinja).  I'm having problems getting any work submitted over 7 units.

I'm mining YAC at 300khps.  Should be getting ~16 blocks per day and I was before.
What do you mean "are you using getwork".  I'm guessing if I don't know the answer is no? 

Sounds like your mining some alt coin instead of bitcoin.  But anyway Getwork protocol is the default protocol that was used with CPU/GPU mining and is the protocol needed when solo mining to a local Bitcoin-QT client.  The other options are using a software that uses Stratum or GBT protocols which are much more efficient and do ALLOT better job at keeping mining hardware busy.

Beyond that I don't know.  Maybe post in the alt coin forums for more informed suggestions.

Good Luck,
Sam

Hi all, trying to test and use 33 USB Block Erupters and a 49 port usb hub (7x7) on a BeagleBone Black (MineNinja).  I'm having problems getting any work submitted over 7 units.

cgminer 3.1.1 is "hashing" all of my erupters.  Mh/s=334, LEDs are blinking away.

Work is only being submitted on the first 7 (ICA0-6).  No accepts/rejects/HW - U: = 0

I don't think it's a hub problem, here's why...

0.  This hub works fine with Win7 on 3.1.1 or 3.3.1

1. ls -las /dev/ttyUSB* - all of the ttyUSB are present from 0 to 32.  All have dialout access.

2. erupters act normal @ 333 mh/s on every port, all the way up to 33 - just no work submitted for ICA6+.

3. If I put one erupter in each of the "hubs", they work fine as well, so the multiple hubs in this 49 unit doesn't seem to be an issue?

It's been a long time since I've used linux and wasn't that good when I was using it regularly.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to run cgminer on my netbook with my usb miners. I compiled cgminer 3.3.1 tarball as its only 32 bit ubuntu.  It mines but I'm getting the one line summary instead of the full screen. How can I get the full screen?
Read the output of ./autogen.sh or ./configure that says you don't get a TUI cos you didn't install curses ...

Why would I be needing to run as root even after changing /dev/ttyUSB0 to 777?

Code:
pi@raspberrypi ~/bin $ sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0

cgminer no longer uses ttyUSB0 so you're changing permissions on an interface cgminer doesn't use. See the relevant readme instead (FPGA-README or ASIC-README).

I'm solo mining on Pool 0.  I started getting a lot of "not providing work fast enough" errors.  Any idea what's wrong or how this could be fixed?

Edit: initially I had thought it a slow network connection so I made sure the appropriate ports were open.  I have about 20 connections to the network and ping < 50ms.

Are you using the Getwork protocol to your solo pool?

What hash rate is your mining hardware?

What GPU is in the system?  Also have you tried the GPU-README or the SCRYPT-README?

Found this in the GPU-README (thanks for pointing that out to me--I overlooked it the first time I scanned down the list of files at github).

Q: Cgminer cannot see any of my GPUs even though I have configured them all
to be enabled and installed OpenCL (+/- Xorg is running and the DISPLAY
variable is exported on linux)?
A: Check the output of 'cgminer -n', it will list what OpenCL devices your
installed SDK recognises. If it lists none, you have a problem with your
version or installation of the SDK.


It appears I need to birddog the SDK.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
