Title: Group of (6)! new Antminer S1's not hashing!! Post by: smalltech1 on February 20, 2014, 11:13:17 PM I am a newbie and ordered (8) Antminer S1's to try my hand at Bitcoin! The 6 miners were new in the box with most at 1/4/14 date stamps on them... Only (2) is a 12/13 stamp.... Well, I am at my wits end because I cannot for the life of me get 6 of the 8 to mine!! The only 2 that are mining are the two that were used! I have tried moving to a new network, using a different router, checked any number of network settings like dns server settings, Pool with username and without, the PSU's I am using are gold rated EVGA 650w units and the units allow me to login, I have flashed the firware today from a new release 11 days ago and still NOTHING!! There is no way I have 6 bad units..... HELP!!

Installed a trendnet 16 port greenswitch and connected all 8 miners.. I installed 240v receptacles for all power supplies. I turn them all on and by default I guess the miners connect to the internett bc
I initially changed all miners to consecutive IP's 192.168.1.200-208 (skipped 205....) Changed the DNS server to 8.8.8.8.. Made sure the WAN setting is DHCP client... All saved the same as the first two... I entered the Eligius pool data username as my BC address and just entered some random password... The first two miners have been running flawlessly since I did this.... But, as soon as I entered the Pool data/worker name/ password into the other miners they began to beep! they had lost their connection to the internet... I never get the connection back after the pool settings are entered... Thats when I began to try different things for the others... I changed routers, I even changed networks... I reset one of the miners to default settings... I flashed the firmware as of today and nothing! Do I need all three Pools filled in? I didnt need that on the first two....

Sushi told me this morning that I needed to repair the NTPD error in my system log.... I guess thats what he meant? I just thought I needed to correct the timezone for my miner to
the correct one? It was one timezone off... I corrected that this AM... So I need to log into the Linux environment...How would this happen?? Title: Re: Group of (6)! new Antminer S1's not hashing!! Post by: xjack on February 22, 2014, 12:07:52 PM You connect via ssh.
