Title: Antminer s4 Firmware Upgrade Question
Post by: Zekeman on August 19, 2016, 06:58:06 AM
I acquired two Antminer S4's from two different sources... both of them coincidentally had File system from: Fri Oct 3 18:17:17 CST 2014 (I am assuming original firmware) is there a good reason not to update to the most current firmware for this unit of: initramfs.bin.SD-20150415.tar.gz which seems to be from 4-15-15 or are these left at original firmware for good cause?

Thanks for any insight...

the one is... it fluctuates wildly on the GH/S(5s) going from 1900 gh/s down to 500 gh/s and randomly up and down every few seconds  but the other is steady 2000 ghs for both.. (5s) and (avg)
