I had mine setup to use the stratum mining proxy at first, but then I started using bfgminer as it has more stats. One thing I noticed was that the hashrate seems to be an average of some sort based on the # of shares, and essentially smooths out as you run the blade for longer.
Setup tips for the blade:
- The default IP of the blade is http://192.168.1.254:8000/
- If you are setting up multiple blades, set them up one at a time and change the IP address off the default, i.e. .250, .251, .252 and so on..
- For basic setup on windows, grab mining_proxy_1.2.0.exe from here -> https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy/downloads
- Then create a batch file containing the following (adjust for your pool): mining_proxy_1.2.0.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333
Now as for setting it up with bfgminer, this took a bit of playing around, but the latest 32-bit version (and probably earlier ones) has a built in getwork server. So I have bfgminer 3.4.0 32-bit running with the following command/batch file:
Code:
bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u username -p password -G --http-port 8332 --no-submit-stale
pause
This gives more detailed output than the proxy or the web page for the blade, e.g.
Code:
