Hi
I had 2 Block Erupter Blades hashing via Slush´s Miningproxy which is running on the RaspberryPi (Wheezy as OS).
Everything was fine and the blades hashed with 13GH/s
Now I bought 3 more blades which I power with an 750W Corsair PSU. 5x 120 watt )= 600 watt + some fans should not be more than 650 Watt. So no problem from the PSU and the webinterface also shows only "OOOOOOOO". There are no "x inbetween which could mean there is too less power.
So my idea is: Can it be the raspberry that is to slow to feed those 5 blades? I´m mining at BTCGuild which have fast servers. The difficulty didn´t change either...I still have it set to 8 in the BTC Guild settings but my miningproxy is feeding with dif. 32!? That´s just for info but that shouldn´t be the problem why my blades are hashing with not more that 9,5GH/s eventhough I switched to "high" clock, back to "low" and "high" again some times.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Okay - the answer to this is: Don´t use a Raspberry with mining_proxy.py if you are mining with more than 3 blades because hashing performance will decrease! I´m running the proxy on my netbook now (still uses 40watt and not like 6-8watt as the Raspberry should do) and am getting my good´ol performance again
