Impressive...  

So the main point in crypto-mining is to choose right girlfriend?..

Any proofs? I am thinking about mining of Monacoin, does the game worth the candles? 

Try to find the status of your worker at ghash website. Something like "Workers", "Dasboard"...

I see "16 khash/s" at right bottom corner of your GUIMiner's window... It should mean that your miner is working, am I right? GPU load is 99% too...

How about new, improved firmware for your S5s?

Our dear member smit1237 issued another custom FW, this time for S5.  

It contains a database and some graphs. The database contains info about:

1) Speed of the fans #1 and #2;
2) Hashrate (5s and Avg);
3) Curent temperature of both blades.

The data is being collected to DB (it's a ring database, the depth of data is one year) once once per minute and then being averaged. You are able then to "rewind" the data (on the miner or on another PC) by some manipulations in the script and show to someone (look for youself) the status of S5 at that date. So you can prove/check that the miner you are trying to buy/sell was OK and is OK.

There are also 3 graphs (for the day, for the month and for the year) that you can see by following the link "http://<IP_of_your_S5>/cgi-bin/graph.rrd".

What else? Cgminer v4.9.0, text redactor "nano" are also included.

The firmware itself is here: http://smit1237.asuscomm.com:8080/s5/SD-S5-20150107_cgminer_4.9.0_freq_control_nano_graph.tar.gz

You can flash it in usual way.

Do not forget to send some tips to smit1237 for his enthusiasm.  

Only one ridge may be cut off. 

Do not forget to forward some ports to PC where you are trying to deploy a node in your router's settings:

You are welcome! 

With all possible PC things you can mine darkcoin (DRK), monero (XMR) or other GPU/CPU-oriented forks. Please don't ask me about how much you will earn on that or another coin...  BTC mining on non-(top)ATI GPUs is completely meaningless these days... But anyway you can find a block in SOLO. 


You should wait for the announcement of next-generation ASIC miner by Bitmain: https://bitmaintech.com/product.htm. It's not available yet. Or buy cheap used Bitmain Antminer S2 and then wait when the S2 upgrade kit will be available for purchasing. It should be available in nearest future as thay said... Or just buy (used) S5 from resellers of forum members.

PM'ed.

In general:

1) "how to i install btc mining hardware (antiminer) in home" - you should find a suitable place for you miners: there should be more or less cold air (the cooler - the better) and reliable power socket (and wires feeding it). There also should be an Ethernet cable in that place to connect an ethernet switch (or you maybe will use wireless bridge to provide connection with Internet for your Antminer(s)). You better use metal (or other nonflammable) shelving. Always take care of fire safety!

2) "And will start btc earning" - If I understand correctly, all you need is described in dogie's setup guides (you just need to select proper mining pool for your exact location - you will need to use ping program) and in Bitmain's manuals.

3) First try to search, then try to ask. 

There apparently no reason to rise the frequency higher than 400 without voltage rising. The hashrate will not increase heavily after 400.

But even if you will modify voltage, S5 will heating up too much, so my advice is not to do this without additional cooling mods (or without frosty air for intake...)... 

Has anyone heard abot some "latest" Bitmain's chip with efficiency 0.2 Wt/Gh? Need to check one rumor...

Mining makes people crazy. 

Try to comminicate with smit1237, he is very experienced in reverse engineering of S5 firmware. Do not forget to send a little "thanx" to his wallet.

I heard that it's enough just to insert a SD card with C1/S4 firmware on it and boot up your S5, then you will need to update a FW to latest (or custom...) version for S5.

dogie promised "more info soon"...

ХЗ, вот задался этой темой... Вроде получается у человека больше на п2п: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=416933.msg4523696#msg4523696

Maybe p2pool? Run your own node, point your rig on it and go? 

Hashcoins wants even 750 USD for their Apollo...

Any proofs? Links, rumors at the forums, e-mails?

Well... If you should SOLVE the block - maybe... But ain't we talking about FIND a block?.. My S2 found a block (in a pool working unfortunately) after about 2 monthes last year.
