I want to use screen to see what cgminer is doing using Putty. That way I don't have to have multi web pages running.
Yes, you can. In the webui there's a software installation tab, just make sure you update sources beforehand. This can also be done via the command line opkg update then opkg install <package> |

I don't think there is a way to remotely log into an S1. I have Teamviewer set up on a PC Connected to my network and I log into that to check the status on my S1's. It's free for residential use.
You want ssh: http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man1/ssh.1.phpOnce set up you can log into your miners remotely, provided you have their IP addresses. You can also create a tunnel across an ssh connection that will allow you to bring up the webui if that's more your speed. |

can someone tell me if opkg is locked down?
edit: also, what's the flash utilization ('df -h')?

MATH TIME
original spec: 32 chips running at 0.75V producing 15.75GH each = 504GH at 390W
you have 2 chips per TPS53355 regulator, 16 regulators total. 480A available at 30A draw
480*0.75 = 360W (assumes other 30W is the pair of 15W fans and the controller) This was what Bitmain assumed would work
my guess is that either the chips are slightly less efficient than thought, perhaps drawing closer to 420W at 504GH. (420W total, or 560A, or 35A which is a point where not all regulators will be stable). Alternatively, the chip voltage is less than 0.75, thus drawing more amps. 35A draw would happen at 360W, 0.643V. A combination of both factors is also possible.
gentlemen, start your multimeters!
Overvolting to 0.8v should be fine to have 10% extra hashing. It will draw something like 450watt at the wall. 400watt before the PSU. That makes slightly over 31A load on each regulator. With proper cooling, it should be OK. You will be able to clock at 275 and 14ms delay. 0.85v will be too high load: 640A divided over the 16 regulators will be 40A per regulator.Hopefully, my S3 will arrive next week so I'll be able to test. For those who would want to reduce power draw in a few months, 0.72v will draw 270watt at wall while hashing at 430-440 GH/s That buck regulator has been shown to be capable of >40A on a sustained basis (when fitted with heatsinks and forced air cooling). That said, batch to batch variation or any changes to the part internally could end up causing the part to meet only the rated specs. Additionally, the PCB design may not benefit from additional power (e.g. other bottlenecks) We won't know until we try  I wonder if Bitmain was leaning on the capabilities of this part too much and ended up getting bit by parts not performing over-spec. I'd call that pretty stupid ballsy if the case |

still waiting on my B1 orders too.. this is brutal, hopefully we get a coupon for the delay
What delay? They said they were shipping by the 20th. Last time I checked it was only the 17th. They were quoted here saying batch 1 shipped 14th thru 17th and batch 2 after, look it up Well, my Batch1s still are unshipped... ordered and paid June 30. Back then, July 10 was the date.... Well mine finally shipped and are now sitting in customs exception waiting to clear - in China  |

[Can you supply the part number for the buck regulator component? It's not the big grey square, that's a coil - instead it'll be a small IC right beside and will have a code (or codes) written in ridiculously small letters which indicate the part and manufacturer. Someone in the S3 is going to research to see if we can replace?
^ what that guy said, obviously a smart dude |

great pics! Goxed: you have the part number for the buck regulator? Also, not exactly thrilled about the choice of controllers - major step backwards. |
|
|

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet... but the S3 has wireless. I've got mine in hand, saw the wifi tab, figured I would try it out. Bam!
So, while I don't see any place to hook in an antenna, having it sitting right next to my router, that's kind of irrelevant.
I'm getting ~450GH/s on p2pool (my local node). Not bad at all!
What is onboard for a controller? Some little tplink router knockoff? |

Can one of you lucky bastards who've received an S3 already please supply the part number for the buck regulator component? It's not the big grey square, that's a coil - instead it'll be a small IC right beside and will have a code (or codes) written in ridiculously small letters which indicate the part and manufacturer.
Trying to get a head start on sourcing a suitable replacement with more headroom.

It seems like it might be delayed by Chinese customs in the export.....
looks like they are mining with it at the customs  hahaha even customs officers will know what is BTC and what is miner i think, one day, they'll play with our miners, meanwhile they use "delayed for checking" or something like that as a reason LOL  |

Any updates?
Have the first and second batches been shipped?
HAH Batch 1 hasn't even been fully shipped |
|
|
|
Batch 1, no email, no tracking, nothing using the UPS hack  : ( Ditto. At this rate we should be paying batch 2 prices. |
|
|
|
I received a reply from Bitmain a minute ago regarding their shipping procedures. They said they follow the "first to order, first to ship" method. I am hoping they'll be shipping today.
I don't buy it. My order was placed early in batch 1 but still hasn't shipped. I suspect that my order won't ship until batch 2 is ready - it's possible that they are simply out of product. |

Thanks
Can you also CONFIRM that when i swap the ip address of miner to 192.168.0.XXX that it will work on a Virgin Super hub that is is 192.168.0.1.
Thanks
Yes,it can work. I tracked PCb package,ups took it away yesterday,it late one day,please note it.because on Monday lketc delivery guy absence,ups didn't find it. You 'tracked PCb package'? What do you mean by this? |

So... it was said that S3 will only need 2 PCIe connectors to operate, or 4 PCIe if it is overclocked. We have now learned that overclocking by only 37GH/s makes it unstable to the point that Bitmain won't even do it or it could burn out. Does that mean at there really is no good reason to upgrade all PSUs to ones with 4 PCIe to replace S1 with S3??  -OCS
Even if its overclocked one PCI-E cable can easily handle it.
Don't forget to check your PCI-E cable rating in you manual or cable itself.
Most corsair PCI-E cables are rated at 600W. Also keep a hand on your cables to check whether it heats up to the point where you can't hold on.Hold on there - this is just blatantly wrong: there's no way in hell corsair PCI-E cables should be run anywhere near 600W. Please state your source. If you're just pulling that figure out of your a55 I'd encourage you to be quiet on topics in which involve high current levels, cheap plastic connectors, and expensive miners/homes before this misinformation costs someone money (or worse). By the way, images below are of a corsair PCIe cable that was handling ~350W and managed to take out my miner's interface PCB (and in so doing so damage the miner) as well as resulted in a shorted-out corsair AX1200i: <edit> Imgur is flaking out, here's a link to the album: http://imgur.com/a/UUpEGThere is no misinformation in my post. I have the Corsair 1200W PSU and the PCI-E cables are rated 600W. But that doesn't mean, you can load up to 600W. Also, I said to check manually for heat even if its rated so. Moreover No S3 blade will draw more than 200W through one cable. Inshort, as answered above by me, one pci cable per slot is enough to power up the S3. Can you prove it wrong! ? lulz... I have 10 "Corsair 1200W PSU" in use right now, and looking at the in-box documentation there is ZERO REFERENCE TO 600W CAPABILITY. So again, I'm asking you to back up that figure. Don't dodge either, I never said anything about one, two or 15 cables required for the S3 (for the record I'd use more than two) |

Can we not get a new part sent out later and fit it ourselves ?
If your competent with a solder iron and playing with pcb's/components that is !!
If DC-DC limit is the only then we can buy a new DC-DC converter from local market.
Fixing it in place of the current DC-DC converter will not become a problem for most.I assume most of the miners can DIY that. For all that, we need some more information or clarification regarding this limitation or instability. |

Ant S3 Overclocking asic-freq File
Once you have un-commented your options restart the Ant.
It's not necessary to reboot the ant (at least assuming the S3 functions like the S1 or S2) just reload the process: /etc/init.d/cgminer reload |

Bitmain has never lied to a customer and there is a reason why delivery timeframes are given.
Right, just like when they said that no customers had been shipped a used unit They are also much more transparent than many other companies in the bitcoin mining sector.
That's saying a lot |

Don't I need a network card to do that? Mine is toast. That's why I'm using USB.
I yanked the PSU out of my PC (750W) and it still did the same thing. I then pulled each Avalon blade to see if one wasn't working correctly. Same thing. I'm thinking I have a settings problem. I was just using the standard Minepeon settings. I've tried version 0.2.4.6 Pi & 0.2.4.5 both give me the same problem. I read something about Icarus Timings? Not sure about those. I didn't do anything fancy before. I think I was using 0.2.4.3 before...maybe I should try that?
Presuming you have access to a PC you could download the image file and flash it to your SD card (I'm assuming you're using a pi) |
