X10 "Miner down" - Miner: 111 Connection refused #5
Comments
Same thing happened to me first i realize that the pools were dead for some reason.. i set up nicehash and start working, also check miner settings, using wrong setting wont start mining, make sure you don't deete first 3 lines... |
Hi, |
In my experience with baikal miners, that error means that cannot connect to any pool, for ex i have comcast at home, and for some reason they are blocking access to some pools like nicehash and zpool, i try it with a different provider and everything work perfect without touching the config that was working before... |
The problem is I didn't read your comment before and delete the first line. I tried to reboot the miner and it freezes. It was miner down message after the beginning and then when I did restoration of some pools and reboot it froze completely. I was able to see it on my network before. It is definitely not a Comcast or router problem. Something is wrong with Pi because it didn't boot up |
Thank you for your response. Do you know by any chance how to reset the Pi? |
You have to re flash the sd card. Here is the link with the firmware https://drive.google.com/open?id=147WvUpIH2s9L2iI6R9Kgq8CLOLDS_kNP Also to flash it you will need this tool https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1GBwN5-i39VLS0wLUh4SHMxYVU/view?usp=drivesdk Regards |
Thank you so much. I checked the miner and it looks like you won't be able to take it out. Is it still possible to do? |
I have a giant x 10 and what i know are the same... you have to take off 4 screws en the front, remove the metal piece, slide the 3 boards be careful with fan cable, if its too tight you can unplugg it, then exactly where you see the network card that's the orange pi, you will be able to lift that card and remove it from the main controller, and there you will see a micro sd card inserted. U have to take it off from main board in order to remove sd card... I did it on my couple of times, just be carefull and you will be fine, also a micro sd card adapter will be needed to instert it into a pc.. Regards |
Are you sure that they both use the same image? |
They dont the link i sent you it is for giant B not x10 |
Oh! Got it. Sorry, I am new to all this. I just tried to download it and it says error. Where did you find this image? |
Great. Thank you so much for your time and help. I am very thankful! Let me try it and I will let you know if it works. Thanks again. |
Do I need to write this image on the sd card that comes with the miner or can I use a new one? Sorry for all my questions, I don't want to screw up it even more. Thanks |
Thank you for all your help. It didn't work... |
Yes you use the card coming with the miner.

the problem is located on the version 1.0 beta of the wind32disk .... just try version 9.5 |
It worked. The problem was in my port switch. Thanks again for all your help. |
hi i have an issue on the baikal giant B . with the same problem i read up here . |
jidros your issue is too large, your miner work with originial stratum ? |
please explain in simple words as i am a very biginner |
i can send you pictures if you want to see just give me your e mail and will send you |
Jidros, usually its a connectivity issue, like you can read on this thread, on my experience my isp is randomly blocking connections to stratums, alexius3000 had a switch problem.. it's basically that the miner can't connect to any of the stratums, make sure you have at least 2 or 3 to see who works |
insert your stratum go to terminal log with user baikal password baikal and sudo reboot |
when i log in the page is not that bright its like loading but never load . |
power supply power you use? |
It's not bright cause it's not connected to any stratum and not mining... |
power supply i am using is bitmain APW3++ |
stratum i have put all from nicehash |
Try using different pools, i had same problem with nicehash, my giant x10 was not recognizing them until i move it to a datacenter, from then always worked |
please check if your baikal ping dns nameserver else try with the nicehash ip directely |
nicehash stratum is the same and where there is Extranonce all are marked with a verygood . i dont know what it mean but its what i see if you give me your e mail will send you picture |
it just for isolate your issue, try to ping stratum with your baikal in terminal baikal baikal ping the stratum |
please explain me in simple words step by step what should i do because i dont under stand and i am desperate |
stratum+tcp://THE.IP.DIRECT:. ... not the hostname,... |
this is what i did but still the same . same pools i am adding are the same on the page . |
jidros can you run with the default stratum when you receive the baikal, mining or not? |
honestly i didnt notice because the first thing i did was changing the stratum . but i think yes . it was working it was not saying miner down . i also tried to do reupload but its like not working . i read on a form that need to format the SD card but i am not sure and dont know which program to use for the format. |
use your windows disk format tool just remove all partition and format after that use windisk 9.5 not 1.0.0 and burn baikal b v1 iso on github |
I got exactly same issue on 2 brand new Baikal Giant B once I deleted all preloaded POOLS like 10 of them I enter a new one from Nicehash web site i choose USA-San Jose closest server. In User I enter my nicehash BTC adress and once I press save i recieve Miner down on top of the web site and Miner 111 connection refused. I try to contact Baikal by email.and skype.to respond. What shoould I do in this case is settings value or hardware itself. |
@alexius3000 I have the same problem. How did you fix it? |
@songfrank Port switch is a device which extends your network(Router->Port Switch->Miner) sometimes there is a conflict between a router and switch and you can't find your miner on your network. What I did is to connected my miner directly to the router and was able to find it on my network. That was my problem. If you are able to see it on your network, so you have a different problem then. I guess you deleted pools from your miner's settings? If so, go to "backup" tab, click Niceshash-SMA and restore, save it, then go to "miner" tab, click "miner commands" tab and "restart cgminer Linux process(30s)". This should restart your miner to default settings and it should start mining. Never delete first four row! You can modify them but not delete. |
yup that was the problem thank you its working now i shouldn't delete them at all once but also i find out that is better to connect to Nicehash Europe-Amsterdam URL then to USA-San Jose more stable server connection per Nicehash. |
@alexius3000 Thanks all of you. My problem was the software. After I flash the firmware to the sd card, it works. |
@linkintiger So what did you to fix it? I'm still having trouble trying to connect to nicehash. It still says the status is dead for me. Other pools, such as the ones that came pre-configured, seem to work fine except for nicehash. What do I have to do to get it working? |
i went to backup then restore and i reset the miner and after that when I saw miner is working on default URLs i modify each URL one by one without deleting startimg with the last one and I use Europe URL not USA URL like Songfrank said never delete always modify specialy the first one. |
Okay I figured it out, after messing around with multiple nicehash stratums, initially I was able to get Blake256r8 working instantaneously. I went ahead and put Lbry and Pascal from nicehash as my two top priority mining stratums, even tho they wouldn't connect and the status says, "dead". After that I went to bed as it was late, well I just woke up this morning and it says that all of my miners connected to the Lbry stratums and starting mining on that. It seems that it takes roughly 3 hours for it to finally connect. I'm just happy I was able to get it working! By the way my miners are Baikal Giant B's. |
nice did you program autoswitching in options? |
No I didn't, I'll be primarily mining on the lbry algorithm so I don't need it. Also I did delete all the all the default stratums that came pre-configured on the miner and so far I'm not having any issues. |
Hello, the first miner runs without problems. the 2nd miner drops out about 4 times a day, only pulling the current helps. If I want to access it via chrome then it always means connection was rejected. I copied the new image for the 2nd miner to the SD card PI Zero V1.1 Miner still fails all the time, but does not restart itself. You have to pull the plug.

@qbaze55 Thank you so much for your input, this info will help a lot of people. |
Ditto problem delete all nicehash pools........ zpool and MPH work, still playing with new miner. |
I know how to fix this problem:I bought a couple of Baikals some days ago and I had the same problem (Miner: 111 Connection refused). I worked for more than two days looking to fix the issue and currently I know where the problem is and how to fix it. I have to say that it is not so easy as restart minners, routers, open ports... (it could work for a while at the beginning) but if problem continues you should program (Ubuntu/Linux). If you want I can fix the problem for 1 ETH or equivalent in BTC... this is not a scam just trying to help and get some earnings.

do u happen to have the x10 variant or able to find it iv been searching forever and cant find an image to load on my sd card for the life of me. |
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Guf6L8Zd6IXcmPHKxA_oTHo6p1QJovtU That's the official firmware from baikal |
Hi,
bought 2 Baikal X10 and both have the "Miner Down" issue (Miner: 111 Connection refused). Configured them, so pool data is definitely correct, tried 3 different pools by now. The miners simply won't start mining. The blue LEDs are just blinking the whole time. To exclude network issues on my side, I tried two different locations (at home and my dad's place).
Neither via DHCP nor via Static IP I could get the miners to start hashing...
Could anyone please help me, getting the issue fixed? Mailed Baikal, but didn't receive a response unfortunately.
Thank you very much!
