What about Dxpool, have you tried them as well?

#14

I have problems to sign up with them. email does not work

#15

Have you tried to register using your phone number instead, and see if that might help?

#16

It did work with phone number, but I do not trust if the comunication is impossible at that low level.

#17

I remember that happening to me with pool.btc.com but eventually I allowed me to add my email to the pool. Anyways, keep me in touch when they come up with a solution by Goldshell Tech Support, I will try to contact them again if I run into the same issue again. I like the fact that you said that they are responsive with your inquiry.

I am glad that read these comments before hitting the buy button. :eyes:

Help with doge miner
#19

I am still averaging 0.0044 LTC to 0.0047 LTC per day, and 7 DOGE to 9 DOGE per day, and get paid every 5 days by F2pool, despite my hashrate problems.

So I think my mini doge is still profitable, sometimes reaching the US$3.00/day and averaging US$2.70/day. :sunglasses: :money_mouth_face: :money_with_wings: :moneybag:

I think I found out what the problem is.

In my case the blue light flashes slowly from time to time, and I did some investigating on the goldshell faq site and found out the following:

Blue light flashes slowly — high temperature/ abnormal fan/ abnormal power supply.

That being said, the power supply I have was the one that came with the miner, the only thing that is different is the power cord that I got from Office Depot/Office Max, since the power cord that comes with the miner is a non american power cord outlet.

So I will like to know if there is any suggestions on how to solve the problem, and if you guys have encountered this kind of problem, and how did you fix it.

Any help would be appreciated! :blush:

I will try to send a Support Ticket to Goldshell to see what advice they have on their end. :crossed_fingers: :grin:

I have exactly the same issue and set up in the UK. And I just had to re-set mine again after it had its stroke. Mine is the CKB miner.

#22

Downgrade the firmware to 2.0.2 and that’s it fixed!

#23

no, that just killed my miner completely! :rage: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

now it is doing nothing anymore and can not be found by the dashboard or by the find my miner page from goldshell

as long as you do respect the incomming voltage to be the same as indicated on the PSU, and you do not force any cables that do physically not match, there is not much you could do wrong with the power cord.

I do more likely assume it is something inside the miner.

#25

So I just checked the miner this morning an notice that the upper red light was the one blinking slowly, in contrast to the blue light. and I was still unable to get into the GUI at first until I unplug the miner and plug it back in, with the hashrate at 0 MH/s which went back to normal hashrate after I plugged it back in… (I enable red light blinking on my miner in conjunction with the blue light mining indicator) :thinking:

So now I’m confused, because the blue light was blinking fast, as it should, but the red light next to it was blinking slowly, and the green power light on the bottom was not red… :thinking:

#26

support wrote me about the red led:
Dear customer:
The red LED light has no effect for us, it is just for the convenience of setting as to identify your machine!

#27

Then I have no idea what else to do, since it just randomly drops its hashrate to 0 and I cant even enter the GUI when it happens and the only fix that I find if unplug it and plug it back in… :thinking:

#28

Set up automated reboots? Or at least put the psu on a timer for the time being.

#29

Angryip scanner or cmd arp -a
Mine changed the ip but eero routers showed a new ip was available. Not sure what might of happened I have the Voskcoin model batch 3 .

yes, as mentioned was the same with mine. Now it seems to be dead because I tryed the firmware downgrade.

automated reboot is not provided by Goldshell dashboard. - probably no problem for @crazydane :wink: but for me and assumably most other maybe remains the redneck method to install a simple time switch with a 1min interuption every 24h or so.

But if the network has static IP´s?

Several years ago I had a similar problem with my verizon card which would run off the USB and intermittently shutdown. After no help from support I did the following:

  1. connected an extension cable between the Verizon card and USB connector
  2. split one of the cables and connected a switch on it. It was an X10 switch which would get triggered by an RS232 signal.
  3. i had a program running on the computer , monitoring the verizon card and if it detected a problem , it would send a signal via RS232 to the switch to open , in effect unplugging the verizon card from the USB . Then a time delay of 5 minutes and another rs232 signal to close the switch… effectively plugging it back in

There are 3-4 modules you will need to build this. This may not be the best route, but if you want to pursue, post back and i can research the actual module names (from x10.com) since its been a while.

Been having similar problems, where F2Pool would notify me that one of my miners was offline about every two days. Always the MiniDoge. I did downgrade to firmware 2.0.2 and have not had an issue for two days. We’ll see if it continues to work.

#33

I had a similar issue

Changed position for better venting / cooling. Updated firmware. So far so good
