anyone have a v3.0 mboard for sale?

[shade88]

I need advice for fan that strong enough to cool BFKit.

Will Corsair Air Series SP120 strong enough?

I bought Noctua NF-A15 PWM which is not strong enough. It's very silent but not enough blowing power

Dave, we need the link the v3 sd card image.

I have one on hand, can anyone recommend a nice free place I could upload it? I think it is about 3.71 Gb

It wasn't really my intention when I made it, but it would be perfect for sharing because in the image I saved, the root password is not yet set and the default log in information is still in place (user: pi pass: raspberry).

v3 is the version that the latest batch shipped with, correct? or is this v2?

I have two of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835146003

You are looking for high CFM.  The Noctua is 115.5 m^3/h which translates to 68 CFM.  The Corsair is slightly worse at 62.74 CFM and noisier.  In comparison, the NZXT I am using have 166 CFM.  If you have a Frys nearby, they sell the NZXT for $15

[shade88]

@odi, thanks for the explanation. I'll try out the NZXT FN-200RB.

Need some help people 

Read every single post carefully and tried lots of things, still cannot get my bitfury hashing. Its latest from them using their image. I am trying btcguild, worker name, stratum (no http) etc all correct. I have other rigs mining fine with gpu and USB erupters so I know my network can talk to the world fine. mboard 3 hcards 2.2

Pretty sure I can rule out all the possible mistakes that are mentioned in this thread. I can ping pi from other pcs on my network. Pi can ping stratum.btcguild.com, I can ssh in to pi, using kb and mouse I can surf web using gui on pi.

Have tried just one hcard and tried 2 hcards, bus 1 and 2 positions. Have never had noncerate show anything but it does constantly flash 0 

I was messing with some files and may have ended up confusing myself. Below is current setting, if there are errors lemme know please

Been messing with this all day and have to go to work now. Will be back tomorrow morning NY time to try any suggestions anyone might have

[sveetsnelda]

We need to see your pool settings (minus the username/password) or what the stratum proxy/miner looks like on the pi ("sudo screen -r" from an SSH terminal to see the screen sessions, and then "sudo screen -r xxxx" to connect to one of the sessions.  Fill in the "xxxx" with the process ID listed for the sessions.  Afterward, to disconnect from a screen session, use ctrl+a and then d).  I'd imagine you'll see why it's not mining when you connect to the stratum proxy's screen session.

...or you can PM someone and have them log into your pi to figure out what's going on.

[Logimator]

Hello,

i also have one problem with starting my chainminer which seems having problems with detecting the chips. All Banks show 0GH/s

I have 4 Hash-cards installed (v1.2) on a M-Card V2.3. When i start the miner on the console it says

root@bitfury:/opt/bitfury# ./start-miner-console.sh
INIT: 0 chips detected


The stat.log shows the following:

root@bitfury:~# cat /run/shm/.stat.log
speed:0 noncerate[GH/s]:0.000 (nan/chip) hashrate[GH/s]:0.000 good:0 errors:0 spi-errors:0 miso-errors:0 jobs:0 (record[GH/s]:0.000)

In the /tmp there's no file created

Any idea ?

When somebody can help me getting this miner to run, i will be thankfull and give a BTC reward!

[sveetsnelda]

what slots are the cards in?  0, 1, 2, 3?  Same behavior with just one card?

[Logimator]

I have tried with one card in A1, also with all four in A1/B1/C1/D1. All the time the same

[BenTuras]

Are you sure your power supply is working ?
I once saw the same effect, the Raspberry was powered up and working but the 12V line was less than 5V. Measure the power at the end of the M-board with a multimeter.

[john_es]

I've got a bitfury unit with 2 cards.  However, together they are only spitting out 25GHs rather than 50.  I've got logs, etc. if they are helpful to post, and not sure how to troubleshoot this.  When I restart the miner, it spins up to 60, but within 20 - 30 secs it's back down.

Thoughts?

[Slander]

Here is my pool setup and output of sudo screens





I also see this when I boot pi, but not every time

That 'bad: 32' does that mean both boards arrived doa?

My good cores are at 2%, and I am down to less than 9 GH/s.   I'm wondering the same thing...

[sveetsnelda]

I've got a bitfury unit with 2 cards.  However, together they are only spitting out 25GHs rather than 50.  I've got logs, etc. if they are helpful to post, and not sure how to troubleshoot this.  When I restart the miner, it spins up to 60, but within 20 - 30 secs it's back down.

Thoughts?

You've got miso errors (which indicates bad communication to the chips).  Either a card isn't seated properly, or you've got a bad card/board.  Try 1 card at a time and see what results you get.

[sveetsnelda]

I also see this when I boot pi, but not every time

That 'bad: 32' does that mean both boards arrived doa?

What results do you get with just one h-board?   (try one, and then try the other)

[Logimator]

Hi Ben,

i have measured now. The Result, exactly 12.0 V

In the meantime i have tried a compeltely another 1200W Power Supply with it, but still the same.

Is it possible the image/linux has a problem ?
