Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
#91 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
Rob I am confused as to what all you are using , the first cc_config you posted is a monster and not needed.
Post me the contents of your cc_config file located in ProgramData/Boinc and post the contents of the app_config in ProgramData/Boinc/Projects/www.bitcoinutopia.net_bitcoinutopia
which version of boinc are you running ? and post me the link to your computer on BU so I can check the stderr for errors
edit; it's ok, got your boinc version and computers. No units reported yet for me to check.

I've connected remote and his cc_config.xml is fine. It's nice and small now. In stdout, it just says no tasks available. I think that can still mean boinc client doesn't recognize the existence of the ASICs. Drivers look good though, I stumped. On;y think I can think of is shutdown boinc client, rename boinc folder to boinc_old and re-install boinc.

Cheers for having a peek.
What i have is an error message of : Notice from BOINC
Missing start tag in cc_config.xml

app_config is

</app>
<app_version>
<plan_class>asic</plan_class>
<app_name>C-cgminer</app_name>
<cmdline>--anu-freq 250</cmdline>

cc_config is now
<cc_config>
<options>
<coproc>
<type>miner_asic</type>
<count>1</count>
</coproc>

</cc_config>
it will not start any 20 ghs units, everything seems ok, Scole can't see anything and im on the verge of going down the nut house, spent all last night farking with it.
May have ask REB for help.

Sometimes there's a bad character in the file that doesn't even display in the editor or even odd end of line delimters. I know this will be a PITA, but rename cc_config.xml to something else and use notepad to type out a brand new one, save and start boinc.
#95 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
After you have made a brand new cc_config.xml in the boinc folder, rename the app_config.xml to oldapp_config.xml as other than overclocking it's not needed. Let's get it working first then bother about that. Next , as it's a new install of boinc manager check tools > computer management > processor usage and ensure whilst computer is in use is checked and use GPU is checked. Shutdown Boinc and restart. Check the output in advanced > event log and post it up here. If BU starts working then check which slot it is running in , go to that slot and check the output of the Stderr.txt. Failing that uplug all the miners, open ziadag and plug each one in individually and check that they are recognised. For the R-boxes, pull the power and leave for 10 secs or so before replugging. Sometimes just pulling the usb out is not enough to reset them. If you are having issues with any of this not being clear them pm your phone number and I can give you a call and see if we can figure it out.

Can you do me a
1. app_config for the rbox
2. what is wrong with the......... (Notice from BOINC
Missing start tag in cc_config.xml) cc config.
I am getting close to packing it in here its well frustrating especially when it was working and only by accident did i mess windows 7 up.

Everything one the web about that message indicates it either can't read the file or parse it properly.
I'll take another look and see if I can eliminate possibility of file format issue. pm the code.

Use this as your app_config. Allows campaigns 3,4 and 6

#100 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
Is a unit running ? if so highlight it, select properties, look what slot it is. Go to /ProgramData/Boinc/slots/ the slot open the stderr.txt file, copy the contents and paste it here.
If it's not running then power down the boxes and power only one back up and see what happens.
You do have use GPU selected in computer preferences ?

#110 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
In case it might help anyone else in the future, the reason BOINC wouldn't download BU WUs was because it was failing to load the cc_config.xml file and therefore not loading the config telling it there were miners. The only feedback BOINC was giving was a message in the BOINC Manager notices that said "Missing start tag in cc_config.xml". There were several references on the web about that message, but it's generic and only means BOINC didn't like something about the cc_config.xml file. After double and triple checking the file in notepad, everything appeared to look ok. But I've seen situations before where there was some odd or bad character in the file, perhaps line delimiters, encoding, NULL character or something that caused a problem. Always worth building a new file from scratch. No copy and paste from the original file or you copy the problem. Anyway, building a new cc_config.xml file from scatch is what cleared it up. Glad its working now Rob!

#113 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
Ok, so here's what's happening. Somehow the cc_config.xml file is getting saved/converted to a UTF-8 encoded file. It needs to be ANSI. The fix is easy.
-Open the file using Notepad
-From File menu select Save As
-Make sure you are still in the BOINC folder
-Change the Encoding from UTF-8 to ANSI. (Encoding option next to Save button)
-Save the file
-Restart BOINC Client
Any idea what is changing it?

#116 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
You had better hope the missus never reads that !!!!
If you view or change the cc_config always open with notepad ( highlight, right click, open with )
If you simply doubleclick then windows will open it with explorer and that may screw it up. Are you using a third party editor ?

#117 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
Wasn't changing anything i was @ work, and its Microsoft's XML Notepad i would use if i did.
Apparently she pulled the wrong plug out of the socket to plug the steamer in and it was in the middle of a update to SP1 and when it came back on it froze, so i did a restore when i got in but the only 1 it had was before Steve sorted the file out, so back it went, i've sorted it now as Ste told me how to do it, but it is again updating, it's on 166 of 190 atm 1.2gb worth and thats after SP1, going to stop the updates after it's done and i will do them if i need them in future, have stopped crunching for now as well as its going dead slow because its installing updates, as soon as its done i will resume.

#118 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
Use the ASCII NOTEPAD. You can't use an xml editor as they insert code that BOINC cant read. The files cc_config and app_config ( despite their name ) are not XML files they are renamed ascii files. Why they called them .xml ? fook knows , but they are not xml. If you edit them with anything other than a plain ascii editor you will break them and be back to square one.

Tell you what I have noticed and thats the Ants sometimes do a bit of a WU and sometimes they don't, are some only for higher specced equipment .
#120 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
No it's just the way mining works. You are using all your ants and the r boxes on 1 unit. It all depends on picking up a share on the mining pool. Ideally you want your r-boxes mining first then the ants picking up after that. Sometimes the R boxes will complete your unit share before the ants pick up any work.
To solve this slight issue i run my boxes split across 4 computers and crunching 1 unit per box.

#123 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
I have two blades of a Rockminer R3 on one raspberry pi and two blades on another. Stability of the R3 blades stinks. They lock up at least once a day, often more. Rebooting the raspberry pi seems to help. I'm not a linux tech. What's the best way to setup a job to reboot it every 6 or 12 hours?

I'm certainly no expert either but this might be of help:

#125 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
Well I have reloaded the project and i'ts working, and done all the cc_config and app_config, all by myself may I add .
BUT , it's running weird as fcuk it started, well it ran 8 units simultaneously shot through 3 of them and then the other 5 proper slow like, any ideas gentlemen?
It kept doing project backoff last night for hours so i left it 'till this AM, C-cgminer-rbox_win32_00005.zip says its downloading but project backoff and its seems stuck @ 99.52% and i'm getting no more wu's plus the ones i have are incomplete?????
Is something amiss I do not know about?

What does your app_config file look like and what version are you running?
Add this line to the app_config...
<project_max_concurrent>1</project_max_concurrent>

#130 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
Does the app_config.xml begin with app_config> or <app_config>? If it doesn't have the <, that's a problem.
Have you restarted BOINC since adding the <project_max_concurrent> option? Some of the new options require a restart to load.
Does the stdoutdae.txt log file show any messages indicting it failed to load the BU app_config.xml or does it show it loaded it?

#133 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
BU changed their cgminer command line default to use the option --usb :1, which tells cgminer to use only 1 ASIC. Not a huge problem if you only have one ASIC or are running a version of BOINC that supports the cc_config.xml and and app_config.xml options which use the miner_asic value, but my raspberry pi's only have BOINC 7.0.27 so I'm stuck running a 1 r3 blade instead of 4 on one rpi and a 1 box instead of 6 on the other until I can install a version that supports it. I don't think there's a good install process for the latest version where you don't have to manually update the scripts to control the BOINC client. I'm not a linux admin, so I feel like I'm crawling around in the dark doing that.
#134 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
can you not set the count option in cc_config to the number of miners you have ?
and for the r4 set count to 4 not 1.
Of course you can't do that without 7.4.22 + doooh.
Have you tried changing max concurrent to 4 on the r4 and see if it works that way ? otherwise I guess it's stick them back on a windows box for now or get the new version of Boinc. Is the version specific for the pi or can you run the linux version of Boinc ?

#135 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
I assume it requires a version built to run on a pi. Doesn't every linux install require a processor specific build?Alez wrote:Is the version specific for the pi or can you run the linux version of Boinc ?
I can get 7.4.22 installed, but how to do you set it up to as a daemon and stop it?
#136 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
linux is pretty generic though I guess the pi is arm based ?
I would also guess that what you are running is basically ubuntu / debian based linux ?
if so I guess you have been running boinc using
/etc/init.d/boinc-client start to start the service and
/etc/init.d/boinc-client stop to stop the service from root ( sudo ) ?
if so to make it run as a deamon issue this command from shell ( can't remember if you need sudo or not, to be honest I normally just do everything from root, saves messing with permissions all the time )
sudo update-rc.d -f boinc-client remove ( just incase it is there already )
sudo update-rc.d boinc-client defaults 99
this should load boinc as the 99 or hopefully last item in the deamon start up service list
That should be it, unless you run into permission problems in which case you will need to add yourself to the boinc group.

Judging by the points racking up again you managed to crack it ? Want to share some of the knowledge on the linux forum http://www.dunadd.co.uk/seti/forum/viewforum.php?f=139 or update my post on the bitcoin subforum http://www.dunadd.co.uk/seti/forum/view ... 113&t=2432
inquiring minds want to know as I'm going to be setting up Ubuntu 14 when / if I ever get out of this place

#138 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
I should have added this info before, so here it is...
A recent change in the BU app now uses a default command line option --usb:1 which causes the cgminer program to only use 1 ASIC. That also means only 1 ASIC will be used by the WU. Here is how you can control how many concurrent WUs you run and how many ASICs to use per WU.
If you want to run multiple WUs using only 1 ASIC per WU, then...
1) Make sure you are running the latest stable version of BOINC
2) Make sure you have you have this section in your cc_config.xml file with the count set to the correct number of ASICs...
<coproc>
<type>miner_asic</type>
<count>6</count>
</coproc>
3) Make sure your app_config.xml is not limiting the max_concurrent for the project or app
If you want to run multiple ASICs per WU
(This example will run 3 concurrent WU with 2 ASICs per WU)...
1) Make sure your app_config.xml limits the max_concurrent WU for the project or app
<project_max_concurrent>3</project_max_concurrent>
<app>
<name>cgminer</name>
<max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
</app>
2) Make sure your app_config.xml has the correct <cmdline> option, for each BU app, to use the desired number of ASICs per WU.
<app_version>
<plan_class>miner_asic</plan_class>
<app_name>C-cgminer</app_name>
<cmdline>--usb :2</cmdline>
</app_version>
I'll do another post about how I got the latest version of BOINC running on the Rpi.
Also, running multiple WU with 1 ASIC per WU has really helped with the rockminer r3/rbox stability. When running 4 r3 blades per WU, I'd have a blade lock up at least every few hours, sometimes sooner. Now maybe 1 blade per day needs to be reset.

I am so rubbish at this config lark .
Please can some kind soul write and post me the app_config to run all current units 3,4,5,6 and 8 using 4 devices to do 1 unit.
I just cannot get my head around it at all .
