today arrived my s3 and i have problem.

what is this thing ?

why moving ?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkqQV-M-3P4&feature=youtu.be

+screw driver and open it up
doesn't look likesomething that should be inside s3!
maybe some packaging...

i can't open .

It's very simple, all you need is a screw driver.

other problem .

other way not exist ?

you need a plus head screw driver +
we don't know the nature of that thing so we can't say pull or do that or that...
screwdriver and do it!

It's hard to see in video to low of quality.  Can't see if cable or what it is.

Get a philips screwdriver as said above and open it up  and see what it is.    No it is not normal to have something jump in-front of the PCIe slots.

This is something  Aluminium .

maybe in the shipping a part inside it got screwed or something, you should open the case and see well what really is, there must be some screws under the box or in the side

if you can't open it in this way, push that thing back so it can be taken out from one of that hole(fold it outward)

i yet don't turn on, this s3 coming soon should i will buy PSU and router.

This aluminum is on the length.

this s3 is used and ship from amazon.

yet can't open , maybe I had to go back.

Maybe that does not will  turn on?

probably this Aluminium is http://www.picz.ge/img/s2/1504/11/6/67484bf35ff3.jpg

if this Aluminium is removed, is a problem?

only removed 1 aluminium

this s3 will turn on without heatsink  only one The length that don't have ?

if you are sure that is aluminium, than i myself i would sent it back directly
or do my best to have another unit in place of this one

aluminium in there, for sure has done some damage and if unit is powered up them sparks, or smoke, or something bad might happen!

good luck!

i'm sure that this aluminium is heatsink  part and this may is that s3 don't will turn on ?

i know it aluminium is cut from heatsink  only one plate and may  that s3 don't will turn on ?

Have you opened it up to verify this?  I just find it hard to believe the heatsink snapped like that.  And if it did that miner took quiet the hit. 

I would NOT run it without opening it up removing the object, and looking at miner with top of case off.  If it is metal no you don't have metal parts falling around during normal operation.  And looking at miner in video top does not look that great cant tell if the scrap is from or how deep it in.  This miner might of had a hard life.

or this or heatsink

http://www.picz.ge/img/s3/1504/11/6/6bf6df41d06b.jpg

Have you not opened it up yet?  You WILL want to before running it.  If there is a loose piece of metal that can connect things that should not be that could do damage to miner, or worst case scenario cause flame.

okey . i right now open .

please wait.

i open s3 and i see that this Missing one piece . is this problem ?

http://www.picz.ge/img/s2/1504/12/c/c823585857ec.jpg

it should not cause any major issue, as long as the heatsink is still there, but i would return it anyway, because something like this could happen only if the package ghas been damaged in the shipping, probably the miner will not work as intended...

i owner wrote this > "Ok it looks like that is just a fin blade. You don't need it. You can simply unscrew the top and pull it out. Let me know if you have any problems well doing it. " and this "it was running when I unplugged it to send it to you! If not we will send you a different one. " :)

I have to try s3 if will working . but yet should will buy psu and router.

As long as it's just one fin I would not be worried as long as it works.   I would be worried about what caused this fin to come loose sounds like miner took a spill hard

Before running I would make sure heatsink is still on secure.   It's not something we can tell by picture.

my s3 , will turn on if not ?

With pictures we cannot answer this.  You would need to inspect it in person.  Pieces breaking off is not a good sign as far as it's being handled good in shipping.

heatsink's Security is.The piece alumine was left from side.

owner tell me this "it was running when I unplugged it to send it to you! If not we will send you a different one. "

Does it look like it did damage to the miner?  Being shipped and having a loose metal object in miner is not ideal.

Have them send you a different one, and ask them to package it better.

That is safest bet.  I would try to do it within a decent amount of time, you should get the supplies to test it.   It might work, but to take a hit hard enough to break off fin from heatsink sounds pretty bad.

If it's like normal amazon items report it to amazon and the will be very helpful.

Can not understand what the problem is , it Aluminium what do ? I very expensive should pay that send back and after my in country should pay Transportation much money.

One please tell me what the problem is it aluminium that cut ? and else one left from side shaken only one.

your will see this video >

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQVI3avGLhU&feature=youtu.be

before sending it back, you can try if it work, if it work you don't need to send back  you can keep it

simple logic, Others can not do nothing should will buy PSu and router.

But I want to know will turn on if not s3 ? :(

There is no need to create multiple threads on same issue.  People will answer it here.

Fact is no one can tell you if it works or not.  It is very unusual to have miner take a hit in shipping to break part of heatsink.  I suggest you get the router and psu in decent timeframe as if it is damaged in shipping the sooner you report it the better.

i will buy PSU & router and try if working  .

But such Neccessary is this part ?

i think that it piece Nothing is.

I think the issue is not that it's missing one fin.  But the fact it happened in shipping.  Making me think it took a hard hit.  The unit looked scuffed in video.  So we cannot really tell if it was a unit not taken care of, or if again it took a big hit in shipping which could not be good.

problem is this that may other some damage ? if this aluminium that piece ?

Like in other thread I think we are losing something in translation.  If not you are almost reaching trolling levels with multiple post for every issue, and asking questions that cannot solved with info provided.  Just like the 2 threads you had on using a paperclip to start a psu.

Yes it could or could not have damage other the one fin.  We cannot properly inspect it from a picture, especially a picture in low quality.

There is no need to make multiple threads. And post again and again.  I suggest getting the  "PSu and router." and seeing if it works.

what take photo that tell me will turn on s3 if not ?

Is the heatsink loose ??? Does it look like it moved (shifted,compare with the other side).Check the screws,if loose,tighten them very gently.Again compare tightness with the other side heatsink screws.

If not,then look real close,again comparing to the other side,to see if any components are missing,take your time looking.

If all looks well,plug it in & see if it runs,watch carefully for any sparks/smoke,if it does sparks/smoke,unplug it as fast as you can.

I've never seen a heatsink lose a fin,but anything is possible.

Those pics are not very clear,borrow a better camera from a friend & post CLEAR,high resolution (2650x1920 preferred) pictures of where the fin came off so we can see,if you want folks to help,before you power it up  ;)

not sure how shipping works were you live  but if it was Damaged in Shipping go to the shipping company and report it  they have to replace it some how it's there fault if it is damage to the point it does not work . at least in the US things that get damaged with UPS  FEDEX etc are replaced or refunded by the shipper again i don't know how that works  were you live even the post office will to some extent . I did not see any one say something about reporting it to the Shipper.



BUT DON'T TAKE TO LONG LIKE THERE TELLING YOU THERE IS ALL WAYS A TIME LIMIT ON ANYTHING.

Now I am going to explain good.

yet, what is "fin" ?

:

my s3 in pages (left&right "heatsink" ) have good tighten screws.

just left heatsink have only one, one piece removed .

you see photo , it is removed thing from heatsink> http://www.picz.ge/img/s1/1504/12/d/d3226e971500.png

else example: http://www.picz.ge/img/s3/1504/12/2/2c92181c6180.jpg

other problem don;t have s3.



 

I stopped giving answers he got me so frustrated I tied my penis around my neck and hung myself.

We need a troll emoji for him.

https://bselvarajah.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/troll.jpg

 :o

i don't that send back it will be bad for me because i pay Transportation much money and i want this s3 Undeniable work .

you Who  say?

You have the S3 or not I'm kind of lost at this point  if you have it, that's all that looks like came off, get a router and PSU, try it out,  at this point the seller has said  he will replace it and check with your shipping company .

but  remember do it before the time limit  runs out . or you will have a nice paper weight.

interesting .


what is problem ?


Now why is the probability that s3 don't will don't turn on ?


just only one think removed;

That piece that broke/came off,I can't seem to see a "match" anywhere on my S3+ miners heatsink(top,bottom,middle of outer heatsink,nothing resembles that piece),you sure that came from the miner,not just something that maybe got stuck in ???

As long as your have checked that no little resistors/capacitors or any small electrical parts are missing,if you think they are all there & the heatsinks are tight,then power up the miner as soon as you can,time is running out for you to return the miner if it infact is not working.

Your a hoot phil  :D   Yeah,his "language" barrier is a brain twister  :D

i'm sure that this piece is s3.

because only one there is missing i see.

this piece come from pages heatsink..

there else one piece similar is not tight, others are cool /tight .

owner tell me this > "Ok it looks like that is just a fin blade. You don't need it. You can simply unscrew the top and pull it out. Let me know if you have any problems well doing it. "

At lest I am not the only one.  I honestly enjoy helping people, and sharing mining.  I honestly cannot believe it is all "language barrier" at this point.  It truly seems like trolling.

And OP you need to inspect it as others said.  We CAN NOT say if it works or not from a picture.   You need to do it in a timely manner.   Every day you wait is one more day it will be harder to say it was damaged in shipping.  If you keep it for weeks shopping for PSU and Router I think shipping company will say it must have been working to keep so long.

And ofcourse the seller told you it will work.  He is one who would have to get you another one if it's broken.   

thanks.

i The day after tomorrow buy router and PSU  and will see working if not :(

DONT DO IT!


BOOM


MWAHAHAHAHAHA

what is boom ?

I think it is lost in translation.  I think some of us are just worried and wishing you the best with the miner.

Have you got the PSU and router to test it out?

tomorrow should run away that buy psu and router and here write answer working if not .

i can't waiting, i worried .

to me now time is 11:15 AM

This is like something you just cannot stop looking at, even though you know you should?

I'm really curious OP did you get it hooked up and what was result?

i buy PSu and it video your see if working ?

tell me working if not ?

why is red LED ?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTUVoVoztVc

any strange smell, sparks, strange noise when you powered it up?

put the network cable in and get into the webgui!

no , don't is smell . just why is red LED ?

woking if not ?


don't have now router but , I will take a friend

red led means that is not hashing

try with the cable from your pc or laptop!

the red led should power off and green should light-up

don't working ?

what do i?

i don't have router yet.

now right is only GREEEN




 :o :o :o :o :o :o :o


workinggg.. .


but this s3 is used and i don't know it IP

With no ethernet cable,it will NOT hash (connect to a pool to mine BTC).Looks good so far though,no sparks,no magic smoke.

https://i.imgur.com/Lwvbya2.jpg

Hook up the ethernet cable to the port by the red LED & to your router & open IE or Firefox or Chrome browser on your computer,type in the IP on the top of S3 into the address bar.

Type in root for user & root for password.

Go to 4) Configuration, to learn the rest  ;)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702653

but, from cooler, came outside big heat

from where should i learn s3's what IP have ?


don't is http://192.168.1.99 because it s3 is used so was change IP.

and router is http://192.168.0.1 ip and is tenda.

Ask the guy you bought it from what the IP is  ;)



   

from where i will guess s3 what IP have ?

i know s3 IP is not http://192.168.1.99 because is used.

What is on that piece of masking tape on the miner,it looks like an IP to me  8)

If not then look under "Setup IP address on your computer",it will work on S3.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=344970.0

You will need to plug the ethernet into your PC instead of the router until you change the subnet to 192.168.2.xx from 192.168.1.xx

Type in cmd prompt ipconfig & post it here,so we see what subnet you are on.....

Like this:

https://i.imgur.com/Xyi9kD5.jpg

yeaah.

it tape was and write "s3 202" only it .

what is this ? Ip last number ?

Could be,but my used S3's where 192.168.1.99,most folks reset the miner to default IP.

i cant undertad.

i should will change router mask ip ?


my >


http://www.picz.ge/img/s3/1504/14/7/7ce3d9ce448f.png

which is s3 ?


http://www.picz.ge/img/s4/1504/14/8/869f1b31a788.png

change the 192.168.1.99 to something else because all bitmain have this address when shipping to clients!

reset the miner! there is a hole and a button at the end of the hole. miner on and u keep that button pressed till the miner starts to blink red!

power off, wait a bit, power on

now is on default settings and u can access it via 192.168.1.99

here which is s3 ?

https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.picz.ge%2Fimg%2Fs4%2F1504%2F14%2F8%2F869f1b31a788.png&t=551&c=pc-yK71gjiF1zg

I'm got confused.
else question .
i will need ip change s3's except on other? i only s3's ip should will change if else other ip should will change ?

http://192.168.1.99/ should always be free to enter new bitmain miners to the network!!!

did you buy the new switch?

if yes, open an web browser and go to http://192.168.1.99/ after you do what i told you above

there you should find the webgui of the miner!

please tell me answer under .


i that will buy TP router will have it IP  192.168.1.1 and after i should will know s3 IP and after it IP will go browser .

else nothing need ?

if else should will change ip?

Your IP for your PC is 192.168.0.100,that is the IPV4.

Your default gateway is 192.168.0.1 (modem or router).

You need to change the miner to your subnet, 192.168.0.110 should work.The 0 is YOUR subnet,the miner is on a 1 subnet,you won't see it until you switch it to 0.Even the router/modem may not see it,but you get to it by your browser.

You will need to change your PC IP to 192.168.1.100 ,S3's default IP is 192.168.1.99.So unplug your PC ethernet from the router/modem & plug it into the miner.

Now just follow those instructions to change your PC to 192.168.1.101.

Now you can type 192.168.1.99 in a browser & change the miner to YOUR subnet,192.168.0.110(under network tab WAN section,use the edit button & save).When your done,plug the miner into your router(shut the miner off for 30 seconds & power it back up to make the changes stick).

& reset your PC to back to your subnet (192.168.0.100) & plug the ethernet back in the router.Then you should be able to type 192.168.0.110 & it should be there.

If you get a new router I'm not sure if it will be 192.168.1 or 0.Since your modem is a 0 subnet I'd assume it would still be a 0 subnet,I'm not an expert network guru.

Its is confusing,glad I never had to do it,Good Luck!!  ;)

Thats assuming seller did not change it.  A lot of times it was ran with a different IP and you need to look at device list.

I know when I sold my S3's I wrote instructions for my buyers with the IP address.  Made support on ebay auctions so much easier.

don't may ip change that change after don't working internet.


probably cause is that i have 192.168.0.1 router

i can't click reset button.


very Clumsy place. :(  :D

it ip is from router  > 192.168.0.100

from where will guess what is s3's ip adress ?

is soft ?

Make sure you have tried to find it before you reset it.   But if you have to reset you will need to use a paperclip or pen to hit the button in most cases, and make sure you read how to do it properly.

i everithing try . needle, paperclip other  ::)

but i may once click button , long time can't click .

other way don't exist ?

from where i know what ip have s3 ?
i don't want it reset button

now right again red and gren LED is why /?

before was only green .


first testing was . green and red LED

You have to do a certain way with reset.  Search reset on this page - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=697474.0

Keep in mind your miner did break a metal fin in shipping so we still cannot say if it somehow was damaged from a hard hit.   Or if following this will help.

Write you step how to will make everything for internet ?


First. I need tp link router after ?

This red and green with led dont jo problem ?
Anyway enter Ip on adress ?

You will need to have a router just to split the internet connection to go to multiple items.  It does not have to be a tp link brand for your S3.

Did you reset your S3? Or is it still in state shipped from seller?

 :D
I can't understolad ((

I that will buy tp router after connect s3 after and just enter on ip ?

I cant click reset button

if you don't have empty socket on your router then you need a switch!

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z1HeAcn8Ok4/TD7w0fKRj5I/AAAAAAAAAZE/ySJb64B33Z4/s1600/imagesrrrr.jpg

buy switch if no socket on router

reset miner

open browser and go to 192.168.1.99

I dont want switch .
Tp link that buy after free enter on ip ?

Red and green led is problem ?

Now that with red and grreen led that is ,how to make reset , i that wilL click after should light only red and two colo is on s3

I dont want reset button


I that will use ip scaner really search s3's ip ?

my s3 that hav red light , anyway enter browser s3 website ?


i before try tenda router and don't showed in" ip scanner" s3 IP  :-[

i try reset button but the result don't know  is ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Clg1K6ndlk

you reset it!

now power off

wait 2minutes

power on

go to 192.168.1.99

reallly ? cool .
 i reset cool .

from where you guess that reset ?

red led blinking
told you before about it

what told me ? link give me where tell me , i should read.
before was only green and back from cooler outside come hear air. now don't is hear air just is cold hear :)


and now that will buy Tp link router free enter s3 website and will make configuration ?

now u have it to the default settings and the ip is 192.168.1.99

is time to put it on the network!

why you want a router, when a switch is enough!!!

guys, does a router work as a switch???

no , i don't told it red color : Generally red shines.

red that begin  shimmer because guess that miner reset ?


What is the meaning of have switch and router . I prefer router and should will buy.

i that click reset button shines red and green , only red don't was .

put it on the network and come back after that!

i can't transale . what tell me ?

install the miner in the network and come back after that

get the miner on your network and we speak after that

miner -> network!!!

okey but why ? don't change rest miner ?

it ip 192.168.1.99 got my s3 ?

yes

ip is now 192.168.1.99

okey thanks man .. good man .


please wait.

i will buy router . tp link.

from where you guess that miner reset ?

i know from your video uploaded on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Clg1K6ndlk
red led on and off means that miner is at default settings!

you are welcome!

good luck!

even but Maybe not reset miner ?

what guess that reset ?

red led on and off means that miner is at default settings!

yes, i think so .

because before until was make reset light only green so before was data save old user and now is reset and don;t is old user data

green means miners is mining, hashing, working!

For S3's it does not have to be a tp link router.  Some require a tp link to run software, but a S3 has it's own controller.  So you are pretty open on brand's you can buy.

Also you can hook PC directly up to miner to see it if you are comfortable with turning it temporary static IP.

don't buy this TP link ? :(

i that enter on ip should will change S3 ip ?

Tp link will work as long as it one that has ethernet slots in it and you are not talking about nano.   Other brands will work aswell. 

Maverick gave good info as far it should be at 192.168.1.99 on ip.   On router make it have IP address of 192.168.1.X range to find it easily.

anyway i should will buy TP link , other router probably don't is my country :) very low level is my country , very difficult to find PSU , the whole in georgia was only one good PSu , I visited in many places.

i that enter on ip after should will change s3 ip ?

The IP maverick mentioned should be where it is after reset.   

Do you have any computer stores?  Just make sure it has more watt's then S3 needs and at least 2 separate PCIe cables. (Meaning not just one split into two).

yes i have good PSU i give seller 170 GEL .

it psu has total 700W only +12V: 55A .

i that enter s3 on ip after what do i ? should will install DHCP protocol? if should change s3 ip ?

Yes if IP of router is in same IP range.  You just go to a internet browser and type in the IP.

range range range it word long time call back . დიაპაზონი :)

if router ip is same s3 ip than i should will change s3 ip ?

if other is ip than should instal it protocol DHCP  ?

Router ip needs to be in same range, not same IP.   So router most likely should be set up at 192.168.1.1 .  There is a good chance your router will come with this as default.

Yes DHCP on router being on is normal.

So  i that install router nothing change dont need ?
Router range will be  example .1.678 s3 .1.99

Nothing dont is other need ?

Without knowing router we can't know if you need to change IP.  Some new routers have 192.168.1.1 as main IP and others have a different.

There is not a uniform that all routers us. After you get router if you tell us model we can help more.

I cant understad what maybe ip should change  ?

Example tell me please.

What range is need  and why ?

If it's not in the same IP range it cannot reach the miner.  Again I would not worry I would go get a router so you can test it.

If it does not work I would post model here.  Also I have been following since beginning you might want to get this stuff soon, as if you did get damage in shipping waiting long time will make it harder to report and be believed.

notlist3d:I admire your patience.Real fun to read this thead  ;D.

What same ip range ? I cat understad

S3 same il range ?

Again I think somethings are being lost in transaction. 

How about this go get a router with Ethernet port's so the S3 can go in it.   After you get it try to connect to miner IP.  If it does not work let us know router type.

So first step go get a router (assuming you have PSU already)

how is the internet coming into your house?

don't you have a router?

I love to share mining, and normally enjoy helping.  This thread has been challenging with language barrier.  

I did work for a while with international logistics in a IT role, where I did most everything from coding to support with a big corporation, and got use to having sometimes problems language barriers.  And also respecting others cultures was a big thing.

But I have to admit this is hardest communication barrier I've hard. I just sincerely hope it's not a trolling effort, if it is i fell for it.

He posted he needs to buy one.  So I'm unsure how hes getting internet now.  But he said no router.

I really hope he has internet and it's not someone elses wifi after all of this. I did not consider this.

On pc i have lan cable and preamoi come from outside ))


I probably guess me router range should will be it number .1.1

I have tenda router and it has this range 0.1

from what i understood, he put the rj45 into the miner and red led was off and green powered up...

don't u have place for the miner on the tenda router?

the yellow ports in this picture:
http://store.bluetecs.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/1200x1200/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/t/e/tenda-w308r-4.jpg

I suggest reading how to set a static IP on computer.  Set static and same subnet,etc. With this connect miner to straight to PC.  You want to turn miner into .0.1 range or do dhcp.   I like static IP's, but for you I'm not sure DHCP might not be easier.

It word is from russian preamoi .
Dont know how to is english preamoi (

I before take tenda from brotherman and back give tenda because it op was 0.1

(( dont undersand your .
I dont know much english word , i cant translate hard is .

Right now i'm  enter on website from phone.

Tell me easy .

What ip should will be router ?

You already have a router.  You do not need to buy another router.  

You need to look into getting S3 to work with current router.  

*edit for new question.  If you are able to change router IP without stoping other devices from working.  You could set router to 192.168.1.1 as ip range.

I am a little afraid of this route as I think there is a chance something goes wrong and you will not have internet.

Now , undersand .

I dont have router )

Should will buy , just time dont have that go away  school go. )

Bad is that router range was 1.1 ? This range i get from where should make router configuration in browser

You just said earlier you had a router.  You do not need two routers.

Where have router ?

It router tenda was friend .

I think that undertood.

I should will buy such router which will have this range : .1.1 this range is main ip router configuration ip

did you borrow the router from your friend?

No , dont need , coming soon will buy .

Probably i guess .

This ip have tp link's . 192.168.1.1


Good is this ip ?

Enter s3 ip ?

yes is a normal ip for a router

now go to s3 address 192.168.1.99

What router is need it should has similar range ?
192.168.1.1
    

192.168.1.1 is normal for most of the routers
default address is 192.168.1.1

Yet dont have router .

I guess what should do i )

Tp link router's have this range really. 192.168.1.1

And i go and will buy tp link

Ok,before you buy a router.Take picture of your modem for us,the backside where all the plugs are & give us the model #.

My modem has only 1 ethernet jack & no wireless,so I needed a router for my 5 computers & several wireless devices.

My friend has the same ISP has a modem with a router & wireless built in to it.

Let's see what you have & go from there  ;)

I dont have router and modem.


It range 1.1 is need ?

I'm sure that tp link router have it range .1.1 .

Other problem  is ?

Dude,you can change the IP of the miner (we have been through this)..........you can't change the IP or subnet of your modem & still have internet.I may be wrong,but I don't think I am.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=344970.0

Section "Setup IP address on your computer"

I don't think a router using a 1 subnet will work on a modem using a 0 subnet,again I may be wrong  ::)

My post from awhile ago:

Your IP for your PC is 192.168.0.100,that is the IPV4.

Your default gateway is 192.168.0.1 (modem or router).

You need to change the miner to your subnet, 192.168.0.110 should work.The 0 is YOUR subnet,the miner is on a 1 subnet,you won't see it until you switch it to 0.Even the router/modem may not see it,but you get to it by your browser.

You will need to change your PC IP to 192.168.1.100 ,S3's default IP is 192.168.1.99.So unplug your PC ethernet from the router/modem & plug it into the miner.

Now just follow those instructions to change your PC to 192.168.1.101.

Now you can type 192.168.1.99 in a browser & change the miner to YOUR subnet,192.168.0.110(under network tab WAN section,use the edit button & save).When your done,plug the miner into your router(shut the miner off for 30 seconds & power it back up to make the changes stick).

& reset your PC to back to your subnet (192.168.0.100) & plug the ethernet back in the router.Then you should be able to type 192.168.0.110 & it should be there.

If you get a new router I'm not sure if it will be 192.168.1 or 0.Since your modem is a 0 subnet I'd assume it would still be a 0 subnet,I'm not an expert network guru.

Its is confusing,glad I never had to do it,Good Luck!!  Wink

:((((((( this ip don;t was my .


this ip was when take router from friend.

now tthis router don;t have i .

right now is my ip this >

http://www.picz.ge/img/s1/1504/16/5/5a75e527311a.png

I realized .


i'm sure that TP link have this range, .1.1  this post your will see > http://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-67.html
http://www.tp-link.com/resources/uploadfiles/images/image001bk.jpg

after , i free enter browser and write s3 IP and enter on page .

I suggest you find someone in your area that is mining bitcoin & see if they can help you,by coming to your house or you to their house to set the IP on your miner.

You could meet in a pub even (you can share a beer or two),just bring a laptop & ethernet cable & the miner.No internet needed to change the IP  8)

Your in Georgia,correct ??? Look in the Russian section of this forum  ;)

Nobody is who know antminer about. i'm first person interested.

one + is my coutry is bitfury office in gori-გორი .

You live a very beautiful country  ;)  Your temps are much like mine in Sunny South Florida  ;D

All you need to do is change the IP of your miner,NOT YOUR NETWORK  ;)

Well,if Bitfury has an office nearby,call them or stop by with your miner & laptop & ethernet cable,may be they will have a heart & help you  8)

Is there a computer repair shop in your town,changing an IP is not hard for someone with a bit of network experience,any PC gamers ???

Gori (bitfury) is too far .

why is need that will change ip ?

i yet don;t have router or modem i will buy router probably tomorrow .

whyyyy is need ip will change ?

i will have tp router it will have this range .1.1

why is need will ip change ?

How are you getting internet if you don't have a modem?  I think you most likely have some sort of modem.

Only way I can think of without it is you have apartment with it or wifi.

We don't know what the range will be unless you let us know a model of router.   All routers don't use same IP address range.

We don't know if it will need a IP change.  If you do it will be to get connected the your S3.

i'm sure that TP link's have this Range .1.1, i will seller will say what range it has this TP link .

no don';t have router and modem .

my internet cabel  Directly  come from outside and enter is PC lan port.

this intrnet provider is caucasus :)

Please wait , tomorrow i will buy tp link router and come back here .

Is good idea ?
http://s18.postimg.org/idcu1m2ll/IMG_20150416_203227.jpg

Interesting picture...
Maybe a finger and some kind of shadow?

It is paperclip and top put electro tape
http://s17.postimg.org/3wozap1i7/IMG_20150416_203236.jpg

The main point of the electrical tape is not to wrap it around paperclip to guard it.  The main reason is to use it is keep it tight up against the motherboard plug.  This stops it from sliding out and miner stopping.

I Will remove tape ?

Yes remove so it can slip all the way back into motherboard clip.  Once it's in and making contact THEN use electrical take to keep it in place.

Thanks.

I already remove tape from paperclip but 20 pin pci arrould make tape probably this good .

Ya'll are way too nice, this guy is surely trolling you all along.

"Hi, I want to stat bitcoin mining but I don't own a computer and have no idea how to use one, can someone explain everything to me over and over?  Thank you."

Right now to me time is 22:03 night, and tomorrow i school that come back 2:00 time i will go store that wiill buy tp router come house and installlling. If some problem is i write .

Sounds good hope all goes well.  If not I'm sure a few of us will try to help.

Good luck!

Thanks.

I that example enter on ip after what do i ?
I should change s3 ip and install HDCm protocol?

After you get it hooked up just enter IP in your internet browser. If that does not work come back here.  We will ask questions and try to help.

If open page , what do i ?

If it opens you will use username root and password root.  After that set it up with a mining pool.  It's very simple I would not worry about it till you get access to miner.

First thing is getting your router set up and being able to access the miner.

I dont will change s3 ip ?  Or dont install HDCM protocol ?

Just get a router and we will try from there.

There are thousands of what if's you could go through.  But it does not really matter till you have a router hooked up.

Last  , i cant undertood .

You have the patience of a Saint. Way more than me......

I will admit this one has taken a tole to do.  I'm just hoping it's not a troll.  If it's a troll I fell for it for sure.

I did do help desk work at one point in my life. It definitely helped give me some patience.

No , i dont troll

i already buy router and is . ASUS RT-N1-E wireless-N150

i told that is this geteway range .1.1 and right now will starting setup

It looks like you are right on IP range - http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTN10E/HelpDesk_Manual/

It appears 192.168.1.X so sounds good so far.

i can't setup :(((
http://www.picz.ge/img/s3/1504/17/f/f1a019672d13.jpg


http://www.picz.ge/img/s1/1504/17/9/94026f73d252.jpg

Do you have a modem?  Make sure you put the modem cable in the one blue spot.  After that put a computer in one of the yellow spots.

You should be able to configure it from there with the wizard.

no, i'm sure that i don;t have router.

How do you get your internet?  Does it come to a box? (Like cable, dsl, etc)

probably DSL .

i internet cabel  Directly come from outside and after joins PC lan port.

DSL would come from a phone cable.   Did you have internet installed by someone to a box in your place?

Do you happen to live in a apartment where a cable comes into it?(IE you don't pay its part of your rent)

no, than i don;t have DSL .

will record video.

A video does not tell us.   Answer the following:
1) Do you live in a apartment that gives you internet with rent?
2) Do you pay a company each month for internet?
3) Do you have a box that you get internet from?

what is BOx.

i every month will pay money for intrnet.

i living apartament

it video is here >


http://www59.zippyshare.com/v/dD7yLLTk/file.html

You skipped questions.   Again:
1) Do you live in a apartment that gives you internet with rent?
2) Do you pay a company each month for internet?
3) Do you have a box (A modem that needs to be plugged into to get internet) that you get internet from?

i don't box .
i pay each  month company for internet.
i living apartment and give me internet.

This makes it harder as we have no idea what is behind the scenes.   

Are you able to plug cable into the modem in right spot? (The one color that is different).  Next plug a cable into the router from your computer.

Again main cable goes into router in spot that has only one color.  Computer goes in spot where multiple colors.

already enter on ip but phote was try and don;t working internet , don't enter internet.

i already setup  wifi, it working on phone and computer working internet.


and enterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


http://www.picz.ge/img/s4/1504/17/6/6f5168c69551.png


thankssss everibody.

what happens Ghash.io ?

Congratulations. I'm happy to see you are finally ready to mine.


Ghash.io server is down right now, not working. Probably they are under a DDoS attack (hackers attacking). Pools are attacked regurally. Wait some hours until Ghash works again, or choose another pool.

thanks..

i tell me support that hosting error is.

:


it data is corrent ?

http://www.picz.ge/img/s3/1504/17/b/b70506c78be1.png

that will turn on ghash after will working these data  ?

http://www.picz.ge/img/s3/1504/17/b/b70506c78be1.png

WOW  :o  You did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                      :D  ;D  :D  ;D  :D  ;D  :D

If you already created a Cex.io/ghah.io account with the username "toqchista", it should work once Ghash servers are up again.

You don't need to introduce your password, you can write in password whatever you want


PS: Toqchista, I would like to ask you a thing. Please don't be offended, but I am a bit shocked. In your last screenshot i see that you have pinned to the taskbar of windows the software Microsoft Visual Studio. Do you have programming skills but at the same time problems with networking (and other things you asked in the past)?. Programming for me is a very complicated task, and I admire people that do it. And generally programmers have knowledge in several other areas of computers and computing. I'm just a bit confused

EDIT--> Correct, Ghash is under maintenance right now: https://support.cex.io/hc/en-us/articles/205495067

i smell troll

at some point he knows not how he's got internet in his house, and now he's got the s3 on wifi!!!

good job mister! ;D
and 10x for the headaches!!!

thanks :D :D

i'm cool

thanks for help.


interested,

my psu that touch my hand it psu was fine hot. what do i ?

Which part of psu seems hot?  Cables, case, etc.

We need more details.

I have to admit I still wonder.  With all of this it quite possibly is troll.

If not it really is worst lost in translation setup ive seen.  At least it sounds like it's working.

you realise that all we did in 11pages could have been done in less than 1h, if he was asking around (in his city, on forums in his language) for help...

looking thru all his history and all the posts are in the same style....



@ToQcHista warm, hot cable => cheap psu!

buy good psu!!! single rail, 35A on 12v

put photo with the psu!!!

You would think, that is why I started to question if trolling.

But a lot seems to be "lost in translation".  There are 2 threads and 5-7 pages from OP about using a paperclip on PSU.

Needless to say this was not a optimum thread on quickness.

psu case is hot.

what you wonder and after i tell you .

ToQcHista warm, hot cable => cheap psu!

buy good psu!!! single rail, 35A on 12v

put photo with the psu!!!

i have good PSu +12V have 55A .

total wats is : 700W

then something is wrong there

i see good temps in your town:  15 °C

post photo with the miner and psu!

i before learning programining i'm 16 ago. i know html css and little PHP .

now i discovery bitcoin and don;t learning programing :_)

ghash not good, don't use!

better pools:

i love ghash . it don;t has maintenance

i right now don't have turn on s3 because don;t working ghash.io  .

i change ip s3.

use what pool you like!

post picture with the power supply unit

okey. plese wait. take photo ;)

please download video > http://www.filedropper.com/vid20150417210416


but bad quality is .  >:(

what do i ?


my PSu Heated.  :-[

http://assets.coolermaster.com/global/upload/product_feature/thunder_700w.jpg

from this picture psu is good! http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/thunder/thunder-700w/ (http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/thunder/thunder-700w/)

it should not heat!

is the psu new?

cables, going from psu to miner, are warm?

quasi psu cables is A little hot i feel like.

cheap psu! change it! buy better psu!

 

no , my country it psu is expensive . i pay 170 GEL  probably about 80$

it may broke sooner than later

it may catch fire!

it will broken soon!


good psu = no problems

this psu = not good

you Speak clearly

but

why fire ? :( it has 700W it is strong

thanks everybody  :D

How much time get some bitcoin in mining ? i have yet 0.0000000

0.004577btc / day

0.03204btc / week

0.1373btc / month

cables too thin! cable burn, psu & miner broken

https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi61.tinypic.com%2F29yfguh.jpg&t=549&c=aypgVWwSDCH1NA

bad is , why is burn ?

in this case bad designed miner

in your case bad psu!

why is bad psu ?

it has 700W : +12V it has 52A


what is bad ?

bad cables, too thin! will burn in summer when temperature is high!

is the air coming out of the psu warm, hot?

on 12v is 55A or 52A?

i recently have connect 4 PCI in s3.
right now 2 PCI connect and verry small is heat.

yes back side come outside warm air and in front of come cold air.  ::)

if psu=good then air out= barely warm, almost warm

52A or 55A? on 12v

you can try to use extra cables from psu with 2 adapters like this:
http://www.systemagnostic.com/wp-uploads/2013/01/molex_pci-e.jpg

more cables from psu to miner = less cable heat

55A/.

what will do i ? it cables ?

i will add other 2/6pin conector in s3. ?

add to the molex from psu and plug in miner

put (1 normal 6pin + 1 from adapter) / antminer blade!

it will result in more cables going to the miner, so less heat in cables

i that put PSU case back .

now put from left side and right now don;t is psu case hot .

 psu case hot => cheap psu!!! ;D

Be patient. Ghash and all the pools pay only when the pool finds a block. More blocks --> more payment.

Ghash should find about 5 blocks / day (it has a total of 10 Th/s, less than a 3% of all miners in the world). But depends on the luck of the pool: some days it will find only 2 or 3 blocks --> less bitcoins. Some days it will find 7 or more --> More bitcoins

i can;t undestand.

i have else 2 PCI 6 pin connector and it connector will use ? will connect s3 ?

this 5 block bad is ?

Little is?

blade=board
left board, right board

use on 1 blade: 1 6pin direct from psu and 1 6pin from molex adapter!
the same on the other blade(board)

probably don't need because incorrectly was put PSU case and because was hot . right now no more hot.



thanks.

this ghash At the end of the day pay me bitcoin if every 1 hourse ?

No, it is ok, don't worry.
Small pool (example: Ghash) --> less blocks, but more bitcoin in each block
Big pool (example: Antpool) --> more blocks, but less bitcoin in each block

On average: bitcoins payed in small pool = bitcoins payed on big pool

BUT: big pool --> regular payments (every day the same bitcoins). Small pool --> some days more, some days less


No. It will not pay every hour (no pool do that): Only every time the pool finds a block. More blocks (big pool) --> more regular. Less blocks (small pool) --> variable. But the same amount of bitcoins on average (at the end of the week/month

you what advice me ? which pool is good ?


i' m interested, this ghash.io how many time get me earning bitcoin ?

better pools:

http://kano.is/ (http://kano.is/)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49417.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49417.0)

I advice you use the pool you prefer :). If you like Ghash.io it is perfect. Other people like other pools. I like BTCGuild, but is only my opinion. At the end of the week you will earn the same Bitcoins in Ghash or any other pool (if pool works correctly).

How much time it will take to earn your first bitcoins? It depends on the luck. It can happen in 10 minutes, in 1 hour, in 10 hours or in 10 days. It will happen, don't worry.

Thanks.

Tomorrow take some first earning bitcoin ?

On kano it is nice with supporting a dev.  But your payout varies with being on a small pool.

On a big pool you will have a more constant daily earnings.  Overall they should all equal the same, but it is noticeable if not solving blocks.

True, but on a big pool you will also be paid less for each block since there are so many more users mining to it.  I'm a fan of supporting "the little guys", I'd rather see the pool fees going to folk like Kano and Ck than some Chinese conglomerate.

With blocks not being counted on every day it makes it hard for me.  I just know at electricity time I need to have so much, and having a pretty exact time frame. 

yet nothing don't get me ghash.io   :-\

Did you sign up for it?

Can you try antpool?  It's bitmains own mining pool.     Either way both should work.

which is better ?

ghash.io

if

antpool

I like antpool myself.  It was having a little bit of problems a few day's ago.  But i believe it's back to working great.  They seem to do a good job at having good luck.

Either one is a big pool and constant payouts.  Antpool is quite a bit bigger though at this point.

okey and , s3 miner configuration what write pool 1 ?

pool 1 what i write ?

it is correct on antpool ?


pool1: p2p.antpool.com:3333
worker: toqchista.worker1
pas:any

help me please.
i ghash.io get me NMC coin in mining i don't want this NMC and i want will get me bitcoin in mining , what will do i ?

http://www.picz.ge/img/s4/1504/18/2/2b421f808a2a.png

As long as your username is toqchista yes that should work.  If not try the pool below:

stratum.antpool.com:3333


It will for sure work for you.  I have not used the p2p server.

I think it mines BTC and you get a little NMC for it.  It's been a while since I have used Ghash personally.  Try antpool like i suggested above.

what do i ? i want bitcoin will get me ?

Again I think I'm losing something in translation.  Sign up for antpool.  Use your username and try pool: stratum.antpool.com:3333

It should work perfect.  Try it if it does not work let us know.

*Edit also it will show it's mining on your S3, it might take 30 min or so before it shows on web.  So as long as it's mining on S3 at antpool don't freak out if you don't see it on website for 30 minutes or so.

long time i wait that will show s3 on antpool ?

Around 30 minutes or so.  It's normal to take that to show up on website.  Please use url i mentioned and use username you signed up with.  If S3 shows accepted shares it's mining and is going good.

This is surprisingly a 14 page thread, on something that should be around 2-3 pages.

i yet I will find out problem on ghash .io

I cannot understand why you would want ghash if your having problems with it.  Try antpool it has much bigger hashrate as a lot like it more.   Ghash is not near as popular as it once was.

If you keep seeking out problems you will find them.

on antpool  where will be my earning bitcoin ?

It will be on your account mining account.  You will need to set up a withdraw address after you start mining.  It will withdrawal once a day automatically.

how to install my adress on antpool ?

this is correct ?



http://www.picz.ge/img/s2/1504/18/0/0dabb03388b1.png


http://www.picz.ge/img/s3/1504/18/9/973f5d3c45b4.png

Click on the account, then settings, under "Bitcoin Setting" set your bitcoin address in "Bitcoin Wallet"

That will set your payout address.

i will setup adress .

probably begin mining :)

how many is 101 mh/s ?

http://www.picz.ge/img/s2/1504/18/0/0d37ae9b807e.png


please tell me why is better antpool ?

It has much more hash power, and it has had good luck lately is reason i like it "better".   On mining number again it will take around 30 minutes possibly more for it to be accurate on how much hash power you have point at it.

If you take a screenshot of the status page on the S3 we can tell you a lot more as far as if it's working.

it is static page, increase GHS :)

http://www.picz.ge/img/s1/1504/18/1/1d4691a99696.png

Yes it will go up slowly it will take 30 minutes or so for it to all show up.  If you have any problems post picture of the S3 status page not pool website.

Please give it 30 minutes and don't keep posting.  This thread is a jumble at this point.  I am hoping this works for you and thread can end within the next hour.

i little question have and probably will the end my question

where is status page ?

how many time will get me first bitcoin antpool ?

Status page= Go to S3 IP address.  Once in miner it literaly says Miner Status on one of the top tabs.  That is the Miner Status.

It pay's once a day on payments and it's automatic.  As far as if your asking how long to make 1BTC go to bitwisdom and try to do your ROI to find out: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator  No one can say for sure how long.

Please let it try to mine and give it some time.  This thread is just getting way to long.  Let it go for a hour or so if a problem then let us know.  But please give it a hour or so as I think it's working.

this is my static s3 > what do you think  ?

http://www.picz.ge/img/s1/1504/18/6/6b45a3bb80bc.png

It appears to be running and just started.  Please try to let it run for a hour, and I think you will be happily surprised.

I think it is working from what you have said so far.  Please give it a hour to see if it works, and wait till then to see if you need more questions.  Hopefully you wont.

okey, i wait 1 hourse . may that don;t will working ?


but my psu case and cables little hoted is.

if don;t will working antpool ?

else will wait that get me bitcoin ? if i go on ghash.io ?

http://www.picz.ge/img/s3/1504/18/b/b857137c0781.png

if cables are to hot there could be a problem with to many current passing through them, what psu did you have? maybe you can move the miner in another place, if the room is too hot there


try to wait a bit more, for the first share you need something more than 1 hour

my s3 was ran antpool 2 hourse and find 2 block and it bitcoin earning .

after now already run is 4 hourse but nothing don't find , nothing don';t get me :(

Over time the luck should equal close to 100 percent.  Antpool has been pretty lucky in past few weeks aswell at some points.

You really need to stop looking for problems. You have a S3 that is now mining.  Let it mine... and you will get BTC.

You can tell me how to working on pool block , everything about pool interested me

Listen to a pro who actually makes money in this game...

You worry too fucking much, step away from the keyboard and enjoy autonomous money making :)
Your miner is hooked up automatically to set up for work... in mining, if it ain't broken, don't fix.
However, when it's broken, do whatever it takes to fix it ASAP... Gold boys, we don't stop till the job's done.
There's also no need to micro manage every thing, you'll just create headaches down the line.
Don't mine at GHash  >:( ... if you don't like AntPool, try EclipseMC or F2Pool, they both pay you per share.
Eclipse, you need to request payment and F2Pool pays daily either you like it or not, consdiering yo ureach I think BTC0.003
AntPool is pretty good, but in like any pool, it takes about an hour for the pool to completely acknowledge your hashing power.
It's like trying to start a bulldozer in winter, you gotta let it warm up a bit, buddy!
Only GHash, BitMinter and a few obscure pools have live stats updates but most are only cron-ed for 5 minutes.
Still, give it about an hour to see your total hash power... if it's nowhere close, you got a problem.
Allow around 50-75 GH.s +/- hashing fluctuations.

I'm a career miner both online and offline, Bitcoin's a toy for me.
Wish you all the best in your mining career, you'll need it... every new miner needs some luck.
It's a lot of fun, keep it that way... I hope you made your power costs calculations before jumping into it  ;D

PS: I started with only around 400GH.s too, around two years ago... difficulty was around 8M... today, 48M...  :D
PPS: I turned those 400GH.s into a whopping 8.5TH.s at some point, sold half, now rebuilding my way up.
PPPS: Once mining is no longer fun, get out of it... I'm still having a blast :)

You said it nicer then I could.  I could not think of a nice way to say it so I stepped away.

I am surprised/happy we were able to get OP a miner up and running.   Now that it's running I really hope to see this thread fade away and OP not find problems/look for problems.

The miner is mining good at a good pool .... this is a 15 page sucess story. Now it's time for the story to end though.

 my on wallet transferred some bitcoin and i think this is on antpool but i that saw on antpool "Paid Out" here was number "0.00000000 BTC"

why ?


Here too late

This is not a hardware problem at this point.  Take a screenshot and post it antpool thread as it relates to the pool not hardware.

Please let this thread die as hardware is mining fine.  It is not a catch all to post all of your questions, you need to post them in proper form threads.
