Update: The regular flushworks are pulling down the performance.
Please ignore my post / idea.

Hi,

I just noticed something very interesting while trying to get bfgminer work:

I "q"uit cgminer and the screen session terminated.
I then started cgminer manually with

# cgminer -c /config/cgminer.conf

As a result the BertMod tool is not working anymore but on the other hand, the performance did go up
like 4GH (on a Saturn) to 274.4-275. A value that I never managed to see stable for a long time.
Of course I don't have any long-term experience yet. Maybe someone else wants to try this.

cgminer is currently not running in a screen session but directly. Might be a reason for the better performance as well.

Just wanted to check whether everyone received your miners (100 BTC/Jupiter) so far, able to earn at least 75 BTC/Jupiter? Cool

Because next week, November miners due for release which are only 25 BTC/Jupiter.

So, what's the moral of the story? Huh

We're all being fucked by a greedy bunch of lying bastards in Sweden?

I tried the bfgminer installation from Luke-Jr on my Saturn running 0.96.

Installation & compilation went through fine.
"bfgminer -h" works

Starting bfgminer as described (of course I "q"uit the original cgminer first) results in a Segmentation fault and
the TTY settings broken and a cleared screen.

" stty sane " fixed this.

Started the bfgminer with "| less" to see what's happening:

Kudos! You're fast Tongue

I really appreciate that BFGminer split stats per asic slot, very useful.
So from the statistics you reported here it seems that the core with higher temp perform worse and has a lot of HW error more.
I'm really looking forward to use BFGminer on my jups.

Okay, received my jupiter today. Wast getting about 450gh/s with temperatures around 60 degrees C.
I updated to .96 and my temps went down to 40 degrees C. Hashrate stayed about the same.
I loaded up enablecore.bin and it gave me an error while rebooting. Now everytime I try to go to the miners setup page, it gives me a 404 page not found.

Any ideas??

Any performance/flushwork/etc benefits with BFGminer right now vs. the stock cgminer?

Seems to perform at least as well. More time is needed to figure out if it's notably better.

Also, I seem to be unable to connect using a socks5 proxy with the built-in cgminer, any comment on that, perhaps the compiled curl versions was a problem... How about BFGminer re: socks5/TOR connectivity?

I've not heard any reports of proxy problems with BFGMiner.

I'll probably not break even with my Saturn and lose money. Kind of sucks...and the only way to get out of that is to actually buy more hashing power. The cycle never ends really. I'm a solid 279Gh/s according to cgminer but I don't know what all those other numbers on the screen are. I'm trying to take a screen shot of that screen and do a break down to help people out on what everything means. Reading it from a text file leads much to be desired. I crudely took a screen shot and point some arrows and maybe can make a one stop shop for what all those numbers mean on this one page.

A: Number of Accepted shares.
R: Number of Rejected shares.
HW: Number of Hardware Errors.
U: Utility which is described as the number of shares completed in a single minute.
WU: Work Utility, this is essentially how useful your the work you are doing is. This is determined like Utility, but is weighed based on the difficulty of the shares being completed.
ST: Number of shares current in your queue.

LW: Amount of work locally generated.
GF: Number of GetWork requests that have failed.
RF: Number of Submits that have failed as a result of connection problems.

Well I don't know how to tell you all this.

So I will just tell you.

My Saturn arrived today after a 6.5 day trip from Sweden to my home in the Northern Florida area.

The box....... almost pristine. Few small tears. Open the box there is some extra pink foam on the sides of the miner in addition to the end foam.

Inside the miner, I opened it up........pristine. No fans hanging off, no loose wires, no heatsink plastic, FLAWLESS

I plug my Corsair HX850 into the unit, plug in the Ethernet, put in the "paper clip"
Find it on the network, login in all looks well.

It has the .95 firmware

Its hashing at between 260 and 274GH to BTCGuild. Between 45-51C on the chips.

So I was dying to screw with it, take it apart, put it back together again, tweak it, mess with it.

I can't, I shouldn't, it just works.

What am I missing?

You have to tear it apart and spend 3 or 4 days tinkering with it and messing about with firmware to get an extra 20GH/s like everyone else in this thread. You don't actually want to mine with it, do you? You can mine when difficulty is 3 times what it is today.

Seriously, congratulations! Just let that thing hash away. You'll have plenty of time to tinker with it in a few months.

I respectfully disagree....
I think it's better to tweak'em right now, while those extra Gh/s actually still mean something! Tongue

If your miner is a dog, then yes, you need to at least try to get it running well. But if there's nothing wrong, why mess around with it? You're wasting valuable hashing time! Just wait until the next firmware update to see if it nets you a few more GH/s.

I momentarily even saw the web interface, but when I told it my stratum URL for my p2pool it somehow told the power supply to shut down.

....
The Saturn comes on for a minute or two, but before I can even ping it a bright white light shines and it apparently tells the power supply to shut down again.
....
Any idea what-all that behavior might be trying to convey?

-MarkM-

Its the overload protection of the PSU kicking in. On the 4VRM boards with firmware < 0.95, I have seen the wattage jumping up (and consuming more power than a >=0.95 FW) and down which would explain why the PSU is shutting down in order to protect itself

This issue was fixed in >= 0.95. I had a seasonic 1050W which was also doing that and had to rebalance the PCIE connectors to get it up and flash it

Cheers
