Nwools, I just noticed today that the HTML5 version of MobileMiner doesn't display the pool it is mining to on the front page. Would it be possible to add another column to display the pool info without having to click on the miner for more info?

nwoolls, do you know if the BFGminer PR4 is compatible with the Hex16a2? There's a chance I'll be acquiring a couple of them soon.
Unfortunately neither BFGMiner nor CGMiner currently ship with drivers for any of the HEX16 miners. The manufacturers have opted to maintain the software themselves and provide patches for CGMiner. That said Luke has sent me a HEX16A and an awesome user has sent me a HEX16A2 so these are next on my list after GridSeed support is done (and after that is the much belated AntMiner S1 support). New bug with the MobileMiner. I can no longer delete any of my network miners.
This should be fixed as of a few hours ago. Let me know if not - thanks! Yup, I can delete them now. What S1 issues? I did notice that I was losing hash rate when I pointed it at the BFGminer Stratum Proxy because it would lose network connection every few hours. Is that what you mean? |

Just got notified of an updated version of the MobileMiner app for iOS. Looks like it finally got pushed through.

i so far have 3 ant miners with another 2 coming i'm noticing on the 1st one i ordered about 6weeks or so ago it doesn't have a few green lights the other 2 have, also the fan is different and the results are alot of HW errors, running 5-7 degrees hotter, and fan running faster. My ants aren't OC and the other 2 i have hardly ever give HW errors. I've noticed previously in other posts some people saying similar things about having a dodgy ant. I've been happy with bitmain, top service, cheap and all i just hope they don't try slip in dodgy old units now and again to try get rid of them well atleast i can still use it but it loses 1/4 of shares. Anyone know how to fix units like this or is it just too bad
Yeah, the quality is hit or miss. Extremely frustrating. a few things to check/try on your "dodgy" ant: - heatsink: are screws tight, is amount of paste appropriate (I've seen both too much and too little used) - Download and install Kano's cgminer binaries, as it seems that Bitmain has stopped firmware development on this product. This leaves the firmware essentially incomplete, with basic features broken. - Replace the fan and/or add a pull fan on the front - Run stock fan at full 12V by disabling PWM (e.g. by disabling fan header pin 4 or switching to a standard, non-PWM, fan.). Invest in a pair of good ear plugs. Hey thanks for all the tips didn't know a few things you pointed out might try replacing the fan anyone know any really good fans? will have to go with PWM though as my wife will not be happy with such loud noises  The bgears fan I posted about earlier pushes a lot of air and is reasonably quiet. Cheap too. You'll need to get some M.4 30mm screws from your local hardware store and a fan grill though. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835132022I've been using two of them for two years as CPU fans without any issues. |

Better off buying GHS voucher for cex.io, you're in control of your mining. You can even trade it there.
I've bought a few from ebay and its worth every cent.
I've seen the pricing for those on ebay. They're priced at about 1.5-2x their actual value. |

Not worth it. For that price you can almost buy three Antminer S1s from BitMain (600Gh/s), and have the hardware in-hand to sell if things go belly-up. Scam? Maybe not, but still not worth it. |

To answer your original question further. You can buy 200Gh/s for about $600 if you get a BitMain S1. I wouldn't spend much more than $3/Ghash. If you're new though, I'd consider just buying some Antminers from the group buys section, or sign up on cex.io. Either one will end up costing you about $10/Ghash. If you don't have any BTC yet and need to, you can buy it on CoinBase: http://coinbase.com/?r=5295695b9b914d77600000e6&utm_campaign=user-referral&src=referral-link Cex.io: http://cex.io/r/0/Raptor2213/0/ |

Hey can someone explain to me how Multipool.us works with the BTC now, since its getting paid by cex.io
There is no major difference, except that your payouts will be more regular. |

What binaries? |

Just late night joshin'  I appreciate the feedback. I kinda figured as much. It wasn't much of a bug anyway, more of a typo. |

LOL I did not see that when I logged in. I will have to check again. It is not doing it to me when I log in. I wonder if you just had an html blip. Not sure why no one's mentioned this before, but these two columns are reversed in MobileMiner:
It's been like that for weeks on multiple machines. Dude...why would you leave me with egg on my face for two whole weeks Thank you & fixed! Honestly wasn't that big a bug, and I kinda noticed it in passing going, "hrrm... is it me, or is that backwards?" It was a bit more obvious when I put the S1 in there and it showed the coins as 'cgminer'. Don't ask me why it took that to register it in my mind as an actual bug.  |

Has anyone measured how much power an Antminer at 400Mhz consumes?

I'm running an Antminer from the latest batch and I'm noticing curious pool-switching behavior when multiple pools are configured. With my older Antminer it always mines using the pools in order of priority, so it only uses the second one as a fallback if the first one is down. With this new Antminer it seems to be alternating between configured pools? That's not what I want. How do I get back to the fallback functionality of the older Antminers? Is anyone else seeing this issue?
I got mine about two weeks ago. I'm not seeing this. Check your system log and post the startup command it passes to cgminer. Make sure you mask your pool/worker info if you don't want it public. |

For those who put a second fan in front:
I picked up a few different fans to try: Arctic F12 can only be installed in one direction (push, not pull), Enermax has four pins connector, but connector has two small plastic rails which prevent the connector to fit pins (I did not try to push it hard yet) and Corsair air SP120 has just 3 pins, so no PWM. Anybody had trouble with fitting regular fans connectors with Ants pins? Did the second fan in front even helped?
The Antminer's fan pinout has a tab that's too long for normal fan connectors. I used the bgears b-Blaster 120 with it and snipped off one side of the guard with wire cutters. I used this particular fan because I've used them as CPU coolers on my PC for years, and they're cheap, quiet, long-lasting, and move a good amount of air. It seems that the back fan has to work a little less hard with it, and is quieter overall with one of these pulling air. |

Hi, anyone knows if it's possible to connect two Antminers S1 bridging over LAN? I mean, I have one Antminer with WiFi Antenna connected to my router and I would like the second one to connect with a CAT5 cable to the first Antminer. Could that work? I have seen one can bridge interfaces and one can create a DHCP server on the WWAN interface... but I don't feel like bricking my device, therefore if anybody knows if it's possible, great, otherwise I'll just buy another WiFi Antenna  whay dont bay some cheap switch like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704027plug and play Cause I can go get an antenna for 5€ tomorrow... but tonight I gotta sleep with this loud mofo in my room... router is here Oh and that link is for a switch with no WiFi... my miners are on the balcony... and I can't get a CAT5 there. Only WiFi Buy a cheap bridge like post #1 mentions and hook it into a cheap switch. It will be tons easier and only cost you about $65. 65$?? Antenna is just 5€. The question is if the OpenWRT devices on these guys can do bridge the connection from Wireless to the LAN Port... I thank your replies, but stop recommending me solutions that are too complicated (or same as going to buy an antenna) or too expensive if you just have no answer for the question. And yes, I do keep them outside. It's a closed balcony with no danger of rain water coming into it. I've had litecoing mining rigs for months there... No worries. I'll post it, since you didn't bother to read it. AntMiner Alternate Wi-Fi Mining    Even though the Bitmain AntMiner supports built-in Wi-Fi mining, to get the best out of the miner while running Wi-Fi at home, here is an easy solution for you and we tested it for over 24-hours and so far it’s working. You can use any similar items to make it work. We picked readily available item at the US BestBuy Sotre. Netgear Model#: WNCE2001-100NAS. (Price was $49.99)If you happens to be living in a dorm, apartment or wherever you can only access to the internet via Wi-Fi, this will make the Bitmain Antminer believe it’s connected to the wired Ethernet and this will not stress the miner. Bandwidth use during the last 24-hours or more like 36 hours happened to be RX: 38.86 MB (161800 Pkts.) & TX: 14.68 MB (105524 Pkts.) We purchased the above item to test it out with the Bitmain AntMiner and it worked! While it may work for short-term, the ambient moisture of simple things like dew will cause your components to rust and fail MUCH earlier. I (and everyone else here) will highly recommend NOT putting any electronics outside. While it may be possible to bridge them, I would not recommend it, as it would be needlessly complicated and unreliable. |
