1. Read zich tutorials
2. Use tplink if you can not handle it
Good luck dude

Hi,

Thanks for the hint! Not sure if I'm brave enough to go to 1050 Wink

Don't want to overheat the miner.
Atm it's running well with 250 and 950mV, hashrate dropped a little bit to 128GH/s, HW errors are only about 0.18% - at least for me these values seems to be fine

Hello together

First of all, I would like to thank Technobit and Martin for shipping my Hex8A1 130 promptly as promised on their website (JBAWWKAVT).
I had no difficulties to install and run the Hex8A1 on a Windows 7 system with cgminer 4.0 (already running a few Bitburner Fury on separate instances of cgminer - yes, I'm a little noob thats why I use a Windows system Roll Eyes

).

Still testing with a Corsair CX600 as dedicated PSU and some settings in cgminer. Actually using 4:263 at 1000mV and the hashrate is about 126 GH/s with +/- 6% HW errors after >100'000 shares.

edit: meanwhile testing with 8:250 at 950mV and getting around 130GH/s with no - zero - HW errors at 50'000 hashed shares Shocked

Remembering the negative statements about Technobit in other postings I have to say that my personal experience was good. This was my first order at Technobit, everything worked fine and I also got answers on my questions.
I've just ordered a HEX8A1 260 GH/s miner in the hope everything is working fine again

Best regards - and also many thanks to the helpful users here like Zich and the others for their postings.

Michael

(sorry, my english skills are not the best)

Congrats dude Wink

If you feel brave you need more juice above 260 something like 1050. This will reduce hw errors but the chance for magic smoke to come out of the bottle is increasing
But as said this is for brave soles only

Edit2: deleted my recommendation for Technobit because my second order was paid early in April for shipping on 22th. Until today 1st of may: no shipping, no communication, no reply on requests for a status of my order - and finally the item got cheaper two or three times in the meantime. Now trying to get my money back...

Do you know where i can get help with copying wallet + datafiles to USB, maybe from terminal cus i cant find the bitcoin wallet folder. My wallet is installed on one ubuntu and cgminer on the other as long as i use my wallet i cant use cgminer. My wallet is syncing right now and i have to use it asap, but it wont finish the next couple of days if it continues at the speed it's at now. It is more important than getting the hex running right now.

Thanks for the quick reply Zich. upgrading to newest TpLink software version did the trick, now hashing 136gh/s on the Same settings...

Mine is hashing for 48 Horus now on 260/1000 but I'm only getting 100GH/s. Anybody an idea why? At these settings it should put out 130GH/s or not?

What PSU did you use(brand & type)?
HEX8A1 130GH/s can eat up to 17 Amp on 12V rail.

Then check if there is any dead core / dead chip.

Sorry, i didn't know that you talk about HEX8A1. What i post there is for original cgminer. For HEX8A1 you need patch.

cgminer.conf generated by cgminer after you run cgminer for the first time. After cgminer run, type S then W then enter.
After that you can edit it.

Latest patch from technobit still for cgminer-4.2.2

Code:

1. git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git
2. mv cgminer cgminer-4.2.2
3. cd cgminer-4.2.2
4. git checkout 5ed45a0d7a3bd71ed1b8726e5f1cdac55bf68196
5. wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/1kspms3gw0336du/5ed45a0d7a3bd71ed1b8726e5f1cdac55bf68196.patch
6. patch -p1 < 5ed45a0d7a3bd71ed1b8726e5f1cdac55bf68196.patch
7. ./autogen.sh --enable-hexminera --enable-hexminerc --enable-hexminerb --enable-hexmineru --enable-hexminer8
8. make

Add setting to cgminer.conf

Code:

sudo nano /home/"user"/.cgminer/cgminer.conf

Code:

{
"pools" : [
   {
   "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum-lb-usa48.btcguild.com:3333",
   "user" : "user",
   "pass" : "123"

Here is how to compile

Code:

git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git
cd cgminer
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8082585/cg/2786526d9f1acb7bd903ece3c822c2c9203aa0b7.patch
git checkout 2786526d9f1acb7bd903ece3c822c2c9203aa0b7
patch -p1 < 2786526d9f1acb7bd903ece3c822c2c9203aa0b7.patch
./autogen.sh --enable-hexminer8
make

I start cgminer with the following line:

Code:

sudo ./cgminer -c ./cgminer.conf --hexminer8-set-diff-to-one 0 --hexminer8-chip-mask 255 --hexminer8-voltage 1000 --hexminer8-options 8:260

where cgminer.conf is in the same folder and with your regular settings.

It could'nt find cgminer.conf
I get an error: SEM: hexminer8 USB failed to get (65537) '/tmp/cgminer-us bash: syntax error near unexpected token....

I had already made cgminer 4.2.3 and entered that direction and continued with "wget...."

I followed zich's post

It won't run, you can use cgminer, there is a windows version too.
