Password Arguments

[creiss]

Hey folks,

I am unable to set the password arguments inside a Bitmain device. Using

Code: Select all

n=myminer01

works like a charm. Adding more parameters fails, like

Code: Select all

n=myminer01 m=solo c=litecoin

If I hit "Save & Apply" the config (/etc/config/cgminer) is being rewritten but the extra spaces in between make it fail. A start/restart does nothing (except trying to start the miner). Enabling "set -x" inside the script and launching it results in:

Code: Select all

+ START=99
+ APP=cgminer
+ PID_FILE=/var/run/cgminer.pid
+ [ -n  ]
+ ALL_COMMANDS=start stop reload restart boot shutdown enable disable enabled depends 
+ list_contains ALL_COMMANDS start
+ local var=ALL_COMMANDS
+ local str=start
+ local val
+ eval val=" ${ALL_COMMANDS} "
+ val= start stop reload restart boot shutdown enable disable enabled depends  
+ [  !=  start stop reload restart boot shutdown enable disable enabled depends   ]
+ [ start = reload ]
+ start
+ [ ! -d /sys/class/gpio/gpio27 ]
+ echo out
+ echo 0
+ sleep 1

 [2017-10-07 12:10:15] Unexpected extra commandline arguments   

The "-O antuser:n=antrouter2 c=litecoin m=solo" makes it fail;

It only works when I have exactly one password argument and no space in between it. I am using stock, unmodified Bitmain Software, testing on an Antrouter R1-LTC with current firmware.

What I tried:
- re-flashing the device with current firmware,
- replacing the spaces with other seperators like ".", ";"
- Adding single quotes to the $_pool1pw variables inside /etc/init.d/cgminer

I am out of my wits. Help. <3

-Chris.

try maybe:
-O antuser:"n=antrouter2 c=litecoin m=solo"

Put the quotes around the parameters.
See if that works getting all 3 in as a the : password.

[GregoryGHarding]

yes, some software required quotations or else spaces in pw will not work

[Rabinovitch]

May be it's possible to change the password options format? For example an "U" character between password options instead of spaces? It that case any user (even with Bitmain miner, like me) will able to mine in solo. I also tried to set up Dash solo mining, and the firmware of my D3 replaced " with %20.

I'm a new miner, and started mining with pro hashing with my L3+ Antminer the other day, and manage to figure out what to put in the password field, I used d=16384 and manage to mine for about 18 hours, until the Average Mining Efficiancy clock went to Zero, and from then on my miner was active, but it wasn't mining anything. Why did that happened? And now I don't know what to do to get it back up and running again mining with a 98% efficiency again. I've tried different things in the password field, even leaving it blank, but unsuccessfully still cannot make it run to mine.
Can anyone in this forum help me please? Thanks.

[AppleMiner]

When you were messing with settings trying to get it to work again, did you maybe enable the API key requirement?
If so, you have to add the k= password or it wont connect to your miner account's username.

try to change the username to: joejoe
on the miner and click apply, give it 2 mins and check the status. If you can connect in on the joejoe account someone setup for us to try testing on then the miner works fine on the pool, and you have settings on your account you need to disable or supply the info for to get them to work.

Hope that helps or gets you in the right direction.

[DaddyFreedom]

Thanks for your response AppleMiner. I just finished answering the other post comment you responded to. And yes that might be the problem, the API key requirement, as per memory I don't remember setting anything like that. I will have a look at that, once I'm back from work, later on the day.
Thank you. Cheers!

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue with my R1-LTC. I can enter single password arguments without issue, but as soon as I try to input multiple, I can not get to work. I've checked everything previously suggested in this post.
