Title: Antminers S5 "miner status screen" is blank! Help!!!!
Post by: Bigdavalillo on May 29, 2015, 01:38:41 AM
Hey guys Id appreciate any help I can get.

I have 2 antminers S5 that i got just 2 weeks ago, and after trying out the first week on F2POOL, I decided to try out different pools.
I tried out btcguild, but the luck its runnig the past couple of days is horrible.So I decided to go back to F2POOL but as i applied and saved the pool changes, the miner status screen just went blank only showing blank spaces. And also it doesn't seem to accept any pools.

the 2 most likely issues are:

 your pool settings are wrong
next the pool you are trying to connect to is wrong


try this setting

stratum+tcp://mmpool.org:3333
philipma1957.B
d=1200


if it hashes stop hashing for me and try to write your pool settings over again.

Good idea to test pool if that does not work I suggest trying the following

2) https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203559969-My-S5-hashes-at-about-600GH-S

I learned this lesson the hard way. I was using antpool for all 3 of my mining pools. One day, it was off for 8 hours! So now I use BTCGuild and Slush as my backups and I haven't had any downtime since. Keeps my miner screens nice and busy looking.
