Wow,
We went down to 7.6 PH/s from 9.8 PH/s. Now we're back up to 8.5 PH/s. Sweeeeeeeeeet!
Must have been someone renting some cloud having power that had us up to 10 PH/s earlier.

Since I have been on slush never seen a lull long this. Current round duration: 1 day, 3:06:46. Has this happened before? Seems too long between rounds.
Edit: The lull just past. That was a long round. Glad it is over.
you know it! Oooo Rahhh~~ |

^ it seems like it throws everything off. Now some of our normal miners will leave and in a day or two the big hopper will leave and those others will still be gone, then they will come back...so it will be awhile before we get back in a good groove again.
Think so, Baggins? Is that what your ring tells you? I lost the ring but when I take the tin foil off my head the voices guide me to conclusions like that... LOL I believe those voices are right!  Have a good evening, Sir! |

Noob question, but what is a "reasonable" round duration; current one is taking forever, but is that normal every now and then?
Yes, it is normal every now and then. Just have to grind through it. It could have been a lot worse. We have found 3 blocks today. Yes, we are a little behind. At present difficulty and hash rate we should find one every 5 hours and 5 minutes STATISTICALLY. It doesn't mean we will. Occasionally, we go an entire day without a block. Today was not bad. For the month we are doing good. For the last 7 days we are doing very good. Look at the luck for 1 Day, 7 Days and 30 Days. 100% would be approximately 4.7 blocks every 24 hours or 141 blocks in 30 days. |

I already have one S4. I'm WANTING to purchase 4 more S4's on the 29th of this month. However, hearing this kind of crap concerning "quality and control" is beginning to make me have 2nd thoughts!
From what I'm reading, these are "minor" quality control issues. KNC's have a reputation for catching on fire overnight, Zeus's units this spring came in at 3X the power consumption they advertised (GAW's rebranded ones were only 50% high since they were not as aggressive advertising them). Compared to those things, having to do a power cycle after changing parameters is pretty minor. Cassey What will BITMAIN do for the gentleman who's S4 had a bad chip in one of the boards? Will they send him a new board with return shipping provided for the defective one? How would something like that work? Bitmain has always taken care of me,,, In my S2 days I have sent back 3 defective hashboards, 1 defective power supply,, and never paid anything for shipping,, they always had my replacements back in about a week,,, As im sure they will do now for my S4 problem,,, I was just hoping that maybe Dogie knew something I could try to get this hashboard to pop up properly so I wouldnt have to go to Bitmain. Bitmain has been the most consistent mining hardware supplier I have ever used,, and is why I use ONLY Bitmain hardware. Thank you for your response and easing my concerns. |

You're welcome. Glad to help.
And no, the 360 seconds I think is for newbies like me where I can only do 1 post every 360 seconds......
Oh, I see. I forgot about that. I've been spoiled with not having to wait that long for a while. It's 3:16am here in Alabama. I should have been sleeping a LONG time ago. Thanks again VERY MUCH for your help! Have a good day Singapore! David |

Has anyone had problems with S4 showing NO (zero - 0) "best shares" in miner status on Slush Pool?
I pointed it at CK Pool and it would show an amount in "best shares."
I pointed it at Eligius and it would show an amount in "best shares."
I pointed it back here and NO BEST SHARES!
I'm still getting paid for my hashing power. The only thing is it will never find a block and possibly get paid a bonus.
Anyone else ran into this yet with an S4 on Slush Pool?
I'm still here cause I'm still getting paid. However, I'm purchasing 4 more S4's on the 29th of this month.
I issued a ticket and hope to hear from them soon with a possible fix.
You must set minimum difficulty to 2048 on an S4. It WAS set at 2048 but nothing. I changed it to 1664 like another guy said at the ANTMINER S4 forum and it started showing shares. LOL Go figure. I suppose yours shows shares at 2048? His would not show either unless set to 1664. Also, the hash rate is fine. Everything is fine! |
|
|

Okay
I'll try that.
Also, did you tell Slush an expected hash rate for the S4 or did you let Slush auto detect expected hash rate for the S4?
I set it to 1800 over at slush, as from my previous experience, my chain 1 goes offline every now and then when I first got the S4. If it goes below 1800, I know chain 1 has gone offline and it'll need a hard reset. But funny thing is, it has not happened in a while... maybe it just needs to run in. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience! David |

You set your "diff" manually at Slush to 1664? or did you tell Slush to auto select? I'm talking about settings at Slush for all of your workers. Not settings you actually did on your S4
I set it to 1664 for the S4. Seems to work best with less rejects and less variance too. PS. oo... I really hate the 360 seconds wait.... That did it... THANK YOU! I rebooted so i would not have to wait 360 seconds to see best shares on the S4... IF that was what you were referring to. Not sure. |

A simple reboot did not work.
I had to do a hard reset like you said and the dash at the end of the zero's is gone.
Thank you!
You're welcome. As for Slush pool, it does show the best shares, at least for me. And I decided to turn the air-con on at full blast hence the lower temp of the chips. It's burning hot right now here in Singapore. http://prntscr.com/58v8hkI'm curious, what settings do you have at Slush Pool for your S4? I wonder if that's the reason I'm not getting best shares from them? It's in the picture.  0725v 231.25mhz diff 1664 You set your "diff" manually at Slush to 1664? or did you tell Slush to auto select? I'm talking about settings at Slush for all of your workers. Not settings you actually did on your S4 I set my diff at Slush to 2048 and not auto select. |

 voltage 0775 using two power supply It appears you are at GHash and NO BEST SHARES as well. I get best shares at CKPool and Eligius |

EDIT:
Got it fixed...
Had to set the "diff" for the S4 at the pool "workers" page to 1664 and not 2048

I issued a ticket with Slush Support. Hopefully they get back with me soon. I'm still getting paid for my Hash rate. I just doubt it ever finds a block though. |

Got 2 more S4s in today, and both have issues.  Will post more details tomorrow. DAMN SERIOUSLY! I'm having 2nd thoughts on ordering these four S4's on the 29th. I have 2 more on the way. More by the end of the month. I think what Bitmain miscalculated was the amp draw which I believe caused the batch 1 psu to burn. China uses 220-240v just like in Singapore and with 220v 1400w max, it's only pull 6.36amp, but with 110v, it's pulling 12.73amp. That is a huge difference if you were to ask me. But looking at your new 240v PDUs, I doubt you'll have problems. I'm no eletrical engineer and my knowledge is very limited. So, please take whatever I say with a grain of salt. It makes sense what you are saying. I'm using 120V (110) now while I wait to purchase more S4's on the 29th of November. I'm curious if Prelude is using 120V or 240V? |

I would have to agree with you. I have 16 S3's and 1 S4 at the moment. 4 more S4's are on the way.
I did notice something that caught my eye when you said, "no X's"
I know this is an S4 forum, but one of my S3's has a dash at the end of the zeros. what does that mean? "00000000-0000000-"
Not sure actually. X non-responsive? - dead. Just a guess. But a hard reset usually does the trick. A simple reboot did not work. I had to do a hard reset like you said and the dash at the end of the zero's is gone. Thank you! |
