21  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [DIY] - Reward $100 | Antminer S1/S3 Blade on Raspberry Pi on: August 17, 2015, 07:13:25 PM
I don't think I have time or skills open new thread.So I draw schematic with relevant pins and components.All information can be found from interweb also.I just did little changes.Component values aren't so critical,except voltage divider (1k2/1k) should be given values.Those values give exact 1V8 if fed 3V3.And scaling to bigger values could disturb high freqs.Any common npn-transistors should do.And pinout of S1 connector is:
1=Fan pwm
2=Fan speed
3=Rx
4=Gnd
5=Tx
6=Temp scl
7=Temp sda
8=Gnd
S1 control board's power connector pins 1 and 2 are Gnd and 3 and 4 are 3V3 (which you have to feed from KIA regulator).
My picture of schematic is pretty bad quality but I hope you can figure it out.I list here too components which I used.It might be a good idea to add some electric condensators to the circuit.Do whatever you want.And don't try this if you don't know what you are doing.And don't blame me if you blow your controller!
1xKIA278R33PI 3V3 regulator
1xL1117 1V8 regulator
2x2N3904 npn-transistor
4x1k resistor
1x1k2 resistor
1x33k resistor
wire

I'll be around if there will be any questions.


Awesome! Can't believe it actually works Cheesy
Finaly after a long time my S3+ is alive and running once again.

I still have a prototype version which is kind of a mess.
Coming week ill work on a better version with condensators that are still missing.

Ill post all schemes and with good quality pictures of my pcb when its all done.

Btw, for the L1117 i used a smaller version the bm1117 because my ordered L1117 isnt send yet. But man, that thing runs hot! If someone ever whats to try that u NEED TO COOL IT!

Hey guys,

Thanks for the ideas - I am still working through the verification for processors, I'm hoping to have some idea of which way things are headed by the end of the week. I have to agree, there is too much paperwork and at times it is very frustrating, but we are keeping at it.

On another note, I seen a post on reddit yesterday and got an email from a miner who is allegedly missing some coins from:

wkc.coin-miners.info

and is having difficulty getting a response from the pool. Anyone have any experience with this pool? I know they are one of the ones that have been around since almost the beginning, so hopefully there is just some misunderstanding here.

Appreciate any help!

Hi there, im mining on wkc.coin-miners.info without any problems and got all my payouts.
So maybe there is some misunderstanding, but i dont know for sure.

Thanks for the information,

That means u probly gonna pay import costs, i had the same issue.

One of my batch 1 units will not overclock. In fact, sometimes it won't start up at all.

I have it taken apart right now. I am running to the store to get some alcohol for cleaning (well, maybe some other kind to drink as well...).

Several of the chips have this problem.

I know that some people say that thermal paste does not conduct electricity. However, the thermal paste that is used by BitMain has some oil in it which I do believe conducts some electricity (as learned from my S1 experiences). I am hoping a cleanup job will fix this S3.



After seeing this and the post of daddyfatsax on the 2nd page, and all other problems i read here.
Im thinking to take my batch 5 apart before even running them O.o.
Ill get mine this week, what terminal paste did u use?

MX-4 ...GC-Extreme...

Google for "best thermal paste"...10's of reviews will pop-up...

Don't be so lazy, guys... Grin

I have artic silver 5 but i think its so soft thats why i asked.
on the pictures of the heatsink u see that the paste has leaked, or is that just really really bad mounted and to much paste

i only get 4.4MHash with my 290x Tri-X at 1100Mhz
as written in my message it is for the 14.6 amd driver. (now it is possible to use bin file made with other miner running on 14.6 if some people post them... )

i know, i got the 14.6 installed

Have you tried deleting .bin files in miners dir and restarting sgminer? It should recompile .bin file for a new driver...

I downloaded the new miner jpc miner, i extracted it in a new folder, copied my bat file in my old jpc miner and putted it in the new folder with the new miner.
Then i get 4.4 Mhash

i tried to delete the bin file in the new miner folder but still get 4.4Mhash

so idk what im doing wrong here

What command line/config are you using?
Keep in mind, that --kernel jackpotcoin  uses old, not optimized kernel (better for 5/6xxx cards) and --kernel jpc uses optimized kernel for R7/9 cards.

Shit, i feel myself so dumb atm >.> that was the whole problem, i didnt used the new kernel in my bat.
Now im on 6 Mhash with my original power usage.

When i used the old kernel and the new driver my power usage raised about 60 Watts for 700 Mhash extra
Now i got about 2.3 Mhash extra and the powerusage is back where it was when i user the old kernel and older driver.

So thankyou very much Smiley

a donation to djm34's wallet is in order.  I mined for him for one day... 3900JPC as payment

Sure, ill donate 5000 JPC

It's a dang shame, I really thought the dev. would make an appearance with the block halving. I believe that with just a little work in the right places, this coin has real potential.

***Edit***

I just sent the dev. P.M. through the Kwanko Group site, we'll see if we get a response.

please keep us up to date!

Yes, im waiting to finally hear something!

Hi all,

I would like to inform you about adding NUT coin to the Voting List on modern exchange AskCoin.Net:




Make sure to follow us on Twitter,

AskCoin.Net Team

If u like the coin just add it, u wont get my btc just for adding a coin to an exchange.
You guys, and by that i mean all the exchanges that charge for votes only do that to fill their own wallet!

if 1 nut would be 1 btc tomorrow im sure u add it instandly with or without votes, like all other...

Hi,

I just released an optimized version of sgminer for jackpotcoin for 14.6 amd drivers.

It was tested on my R9-290x at 1050MHz.

The hashrate is 5.97MHash/s
with the standard jackpotcoin miner, the speed was 3.5MHash/s on 13.12 drivers and 4.1MHash.s on 14.6.

So it is an increase between 50% and 100% depending on the drivers you currently use.

This is still lower than nvidia hashrate (however here it is running on all the hashes... so this is at that level still a work in progress

The source can be found here: https://github.com/djm34/sgminer-jpc
windows binaries here: https://mega.co.nz/#!0d9xjagT!H-K3q-XcyHIGEPcPQOKPcW7sdvh8cAaAmHqNRP09zBg

To use the algo: sgminer --kernel jpc -o pool -u password


Donation are welcomed to support development effort (and since you will be getting more coins) and they can be sent at these addresses:

JPC: JWdVcJZdmdTdFEM1acumNQjrnrx3J7mdec
BTC: 1NENYmxwZGHsKFmyjTc5WferTn5VTFb7Ze

A bounty from jackpotcoin dev would be good too  Grin
No idea if it was discussed but on older radeons this version gives lower hashrates

Tell us something more about your rig gpu's, their config, your graphic driver version, then we can discuss. Right now word "older" tells us nothing Smiley

Edit: U guys where also the ones who came with the voting idea to begin with when the exchange was not online yet

We did. We started it. And for that, I personally apologize. It was MY idea. I thought it was an awesome idea. Until everyone else grabbed onto it and turned it into a profitfest.

We thought voting was the most fair way to do it. And we realized that not every coin had a community. Some coins had financial backing. So we offered a way for everyone to make a difference. Vote with your people power, or vote with your wallet.

Our entire voting phase took in just over 17 BTC, 20% we pledged to donate to charity (It went to Seans Outpost, 3.59 BTC). The rest went to help cover startup costs.

Then everyone saw our awesome idea and jumped on it, copying it exactly.

And once people had 20 places to vote, we realized that voting was no longer a bleeding edge idea. Not one to kick a dead horse we dropped it without further ado.

And once we saw what the payment part had become - a game on the part of exchanges to profit off NOT adding a coin, we were glad we dropped it.

We are about transparency and integrity. Not screwing with you guys. Not holding out a carrot until you throw enough BTC at it (or stop throwing the BTC so that the carrot is less profitable).

So, for birthing that demon of a system, I apologize. It became a bastardized version of what I intended it to be, and I'm glad we got off that train.

We strive to add any coin that requests it. We've invested thousands of dollars into wallet servers to host all the coins we have. Once a coin seems dead we remove it. Obviously not all will survive. But we'd like to have any coin that at least has a pulse to have a home somewhere.

No apologizes needed Allcrypt!, and to be honest i still like the idea!

Ppl who are dumb enough to pay 1 btc for "1000"votes on mintpay are the suckers. Who is still paying are the ones that created it together with the copycats and keeping this corrupted system of now alive even today!
When u where still using that voting page, u said on the top of the page: vote as many times as u like, and send a donation of XXXX amount of coins that u like to.

So in other words,

U didnt EVEN ASK for BTC!, u didnt said this amount XX of that coin is worth XX of votes. it was the choice of the voter how many he wanted pay or he wanted to support his favorite alt to be on an exchange

AND THAT PPL MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE OF TODAYS VOTING SYSTEM!!!

Edit:

I just think, just stop complaining*BITCHING* about a fucking fee, (a fee thats helps, so u dont have to wait 5 fucking hours and start complaining again!) and start using that great exchange.
PPL need to stop voting, u can also send a donation to me, in the end its the same results, u filling someone elses wallet, NOTHING MORE!

Also when JPC was released here i was against the Voting For Mintpal thingy, and why? that is what i mentioned above.
Ofcouse, the price of jpc rose and i made money from it sure i did, but i really still think what i said back then

IF THEY SEE THEY CAN MAKE (OR LOSE) MONEY FROM IT, THEY WILL ADD IT ANYWAY WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR TEN THOUSANDS DOLLAR VOTES!!!!

also, it SHOULD NOT BE THE WAY TO RAISE THE VALUE OF A COIN TO BEGIN WITH!

I got to admit allcrypt is the fastest exchange I tried so far. Especially when it come to withdrawing BTC, usually it was almost instant withdrawal. At first, I really dislike the UI but who care? It's functionnal and the priority order really worth the extra %. I would go back there anytime if possible.

AllCrypt charges .00051 BTC to withdraw

Can someone please explain to me how a withdrawal fee that costs 29 cents, the cost of a cigarette that some of you smoke 10-20 of a day, a 20th of a Starbucks drink, and a 12th of a gallon of gas has caused so many headaches?

Guys - seriously - first of all - the blockchain charges fees. While some of you may like to believe it's a flat .0001 - its not. Its based on the transaction size. Our withdrawal fees are calculated DYNAMICALLY. Every 15 minutes the system averages out the last few days of withdrawal fees for a coin, adds a small percentage to cover losses (when we're charging .0003 and we have to pay .0005) and, yes, I know it's shocking, a fraction of a penny in profit. I know nowadays profit is a horrible evil word. Sorrynotsorry. Every single one of you whos waiting for JPC to rise is value isnt rooting for that for the 'sake of crypto' - it's so your JPC is worth more. I'm digressing.

We also add a .00015 miner fee to each transaction. Why? It prioritizes our withdrawals. It helps ensure that your withdraw, which, often, you want NOW and not in 40 minutes (sidelong glance at cryptsy), actually gets there, and gets there as fast as possible.

Yes, we charge 18 pennies more than Bittrex and Mintpal to withdraw your Bitcoin, so that we can get your coins to you faster.

Oh, right... and we don't charge you over FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS to list your coin! You're bitching about 18 cents when people have paid FIVE. THOUSAND. DOLLARS. to have JPC listed on Mintpal and... wait for it... it's still not there!

My god... epiphany... *I* am the asshole.

On an unrelated note, I will not be available for the next 3 weeks as I vacation on a tropical island with a drink in my hand. This month we processed over 60,000* BTC withdrawals and I'm personally using that 18 cents we made on those 60,000 withdrawals to live it up in paradise. Cya suckers!

Oh, wait. Nope, not reality. Didn't actually get rich on that.

* Full transparency: We actually processed 1408 BTC withdrawals in the last 30 days. We paid a total of .21345 BTC in transaction fees, plus the added miners fee of .2112 for a total of .42465 BTC paid to miners in transaction fees. Assuming a high of .00051 BTC per withdrawal over the period, we took in .718 BTC in withdrawal fees. Thats a net 'profit' of .29343 BTC in withdrawal fees - ripping you suckers off for .000209 BTC each - 12 pennies for each withdrawal. Muhahaahaha!

Ahem. Sorry. Lost control for a moment. We swindled $169, which we'll use to pay a small fraction of the electric bill this month. Maybe one day we'll make it to the cayman islands.

Side note: Our fees are less than Bittrex (cant quote mintpal, dont know off the top of my head). Deposit enough JPC to sell for .4 bitcoin, then withdraw that .4 bitcoin with our outrageous "bend-over-and-take-it-haha" (TM) fee, and between trade fees plus our ripoff withdrawal fee, we're cheaper than bittrex.

Big picture people. I think thats why we have no volume. No one looks at the big picture.
