You don't have to turn it off. A reboot will do fine.

Ya know...you would. Such a d***. lol I'm kidding,.. of course. Jeez...I do love a person with humor. Ya put me thru all the blah, blah, which I have no clue about, then... Did get a chuckle tho. Ok..I get that I want to edit the init.d, but, I'm not a pro and can't find the d*** thing. Plus, not great with puTTy or code. Sure could use a hand and not clues. Comon. ..I wanna play...not work. How 'bout it? Help an ol' man out. BTW...thanks. (first things first). Later...how do ya run cgminer in ssh and is that upgradeable? Ohhhh...run with no computer?..load into the router? FASCINATING! Hmmmm... Could be interesting,..wanna know about the init first.
Thank you

Just a big FYI: You actually DO HAVE TO REBOOT after changing freq/volt. Just check your System Log. Scroll to about the 4th line from the bottom. You'll see the line with all your cgminer start/pool info. It also has the freq/volt settings for cgminer. I found out that just doing the Config save/apply button doesn't change the miner settings. They will be whatever you had previously. It's a good check to see what's going on.

Happy mining!!

Howdy,

Dang it...my eyes hurt!!  Somewhere I read about changing the 'queue' size to help with so many discards. Can anybody help? Ideas about a good resize number and the file that needs to be edited?

Thank you ever so much.

Thanks...just setup an account I know it was dumb....but I've never done this before.

Appreciate it!

You may delete

OK...I know this is stupid but....imgur?? I should, but don't know. Where is that?

It sounds dumb, but I don't know how to insert a screen grab. Please explain.

Thanks

Ok...sounds good. I have gotten in /w puTTy but I still get the 'Permission Denied' error. Won't let me mod.

'Till later-

edit: Never mind....I figured it out. I must say...there is some really bad info out there, ie. wrong puTTy cmds, incomplete cmds, just ..well, it can really mess a guy up.

Now...somewhere in this thread, I think, is the info on where cgminer is told how big to make the 'queue'. I would like to set it smaller than the 4096 it's at right now. It's supposed to help with the number of 'discards'. Not sure about the ideal size.

I'm still running the Jan 2015 revision. Last guy said that I couldn't control the voltage with it but when I check on the cgminer process, I see the command line with my input. Seems to be running pretty good for me.  Ummm...am I misunderstanding? Any thoughts?

Thanks for any replies!

Guess I'll have to do a reflash. Gotta find the Dec. version. I know Nov. sucked. Want to get in and set up for a higher OC. Menu only goes to 250M. @ 0750v. Should be able to write in the 256M.

Edit: dang file comes up 'Permission Denied'. How do I get it to open?

Well...I D/Led cgywin and started reading up on how to use it....sheesh! Guess I'll look for putty and see if that's any easier. Can someone give me a clue how I even get into the software on this? Other than the menu that comes up with all the info (config, status, etc.) I can't see anything.


HELP!!!!

Thank You  


edit: OK....so, I'm giving this a try. I installed 'puTTy', and actually got into this S3+. I didn't do any thing dramatic...no worries race fans. I entered the line; /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/cgminer/cgminer.lua but then it says I don't have permission. Ummm...please don't make me go back and read that long ass thread again. How do I get permission to open and mod the cgminer.lua file?

HELP!!!

Thank You

HiYa Peeps,

Been reading this thread from start to here. GREAT INFO. I just got this antMiner S3+ the other day and had it running as of yesterday. Did ALL the .bin updates including the latest from Jan. 2015. HW error levels well within acceptable. (.0046%) Cooking along at 508GH, voltage at 0750 level, 250 freq.

Heres my problem.....I don't know squat about 'putty'. I read the thread on how to enter the other freqs into cgMiner (I have 4.6.1 after the updates). I am clueless. Didn't get how to get into the program...nothing.    I don't know code, Linux, etc. Strictly a Windows guy, or old DOS4.x (yup...I'm old). Heck...actually had a machine with DOS2.something. I was pretty good at DOS 5, Linux baffles me!!

Am I wrong in thinking that if SOMEONE did an archive backup of their firmware, with the cgMiner rewrite, and sent it to me, that I could install it in my S3+ and have it work?
Just saying...hypothetically.

Anyone out there, trustworthy, who wants to be nice?    Doesn't hurt to ask.

And, I noted this description with the latest firmware update:
1. fix bug of negative temperature
2. fix power mistake adjustment.
3. disable VDD adjustment function.
MD5: 3E77FC58E6CF9F6C53510C8154C8B0F9

Is the #3 reference saying that I can't control the voltage with this firmware update. (In which case I'll return mine to the the previous)?

Also, I've been using BTCGuild pool. Is it a good one, or should I be looking elswhere?

Thank you kindly!!! Keep up the good work.

edit: added the description of firmware update

Oh....if anybody is still looking at this thread, I know what reject and HW stand for, kinda know what Getwork means, but what the heck does 'Utility' represent on the status menu?

Thanks


edit:  Also, is the top fan reading the intake or exhaust?

 

I know this is just a hobby, but I've been having fun. Figured my 'puter was on 24/7 anyways, and I don't game anymore, so I started doing this stuff. Started mining with a couple of the little dual miner gridseeds, then a few redfury usb, graduated to a couple of the R-box 100s, and just picked up this antminer. Still have them all running and doing some GPU x11 mining now. Those antminer numbers threw me for a loop. I couldn't see why I had so many discards, yet the pool numbers looked fine.

So....have fun and thanks for the info!

OK...great. I kinda freaked when I saw the number of discards. I bought this used and reset it to to factory, entered my info, and fired it up. Thought it was messed up when I checked the status.

Thank you very much for the reply!

Hi,

New to the world of AntMiners. I have the S3+ and am wondering if these numbers are about right. I'm not new to cryptomining but some of these numbers seem backwords. Especially the discard/accept ratio. Can someone please advise me to see if this is about right.

ASICs : all 0s (I know that's good)
Freq : 243.75 (didn't set it to max.) wiring just barely warm. Corsair CX750M P.S.
Temp : 46/47C
GH/s Avg. : 493.83 (status menu)
GH/s Pool side : 488.27
Pool : 99.87% GOOD

  I believe those are OK, but the next seem screwy.

Miner Status Menu ;
Accept : 1,327
Discard : 14,789

  Now that just don't seem right to me. That's less than a 10% ratio of accepted. Is this common? With my other mining equipment, if I had numbers like that, well...
Clue me in. Do these run this way?

Thank You for the input -


edit: Please don't send me a link to look at numbers. I just want to know if these (AntMiner) run this way. PS numbers.

Hi,

Ok, I'm sure this has been answered somewhere, but I haven't found it.

I have funds in my WinQT wallet and wish to move them to my Android wallet (or vice versa). My question is; How do I transfer between devices without paying a transaction fee?
I don't want to store a bunch on my phone or tablet and yet I don't see why I pay a fee to move coins between my Windows wallet and the Android (or vice versa).
That's like saying I have to pay a dime because I want to take a dollar from my wallet and put it in my pocket.


I'm sure there is an easy way to do it and this must be a stupid question. But....Please explain how to accomplish such?

Thank You very much for your answers.

Soooo sorry! I didn't understand what you needed. OK, here is what it says, "Cuda error func 'quark_blake512_cpu_setBlock_80' at Line473  :  an illegal instruction was encountered." (without the quotes). Then my driver crashes.
I have the latest driver for the 750Ti as well as the latest Cuda (7.0). I am using CCminer 1.5.43 (sp_mod) without any commands except the pool info and ASUS GPU Tweak. I've tried numerous different configs with Tweak but the most stable settings won't get the 3.2Mh claimed. When I jack up the setting...yup..I get that....then crash. Reload the driver and start over.
As I stated in an earlier post, this card seems to be hard coded so I can only get a max 1143mV GPU voltage. Tried 'MSI Afterburner' and 'ThunderMaster' but they won't up GPU voltage either. Not sure on that problem.

So....what's your take on all this? Thanks djm34. Sorry for the mis-communication, any help?

Oppsss,

OK, I messed up! (not big news,  ). This happens in release 43...not 42.  My vid card is: ASUS GTX750Ti2G-DF series, using GPU Tweak, running ccMiner, release43 sp_mod (+ others).

   1. Blows out driver with Blake error in Line 473.

     Help? Whats it mean? Fix?

I've been trying to mine x11 but this keeps happening when I get close to the 3.2Mh. I have no idea what this error means.

Thanks for any help or info you can give me.

Hi,

ASUS GTX750Ti2G-DF series, GPUTweak, ccMiner, release42 sp_mod (+ others).

   1. Blows out driver with Blake error in Line 473.

     Help? Whats it mean? Fix?

   2. Does anyone know if this card is hard coded in voltage area? Can't seem to get it to respond to over-volt. No voltage control at all in GPUTweak and doesn't go higher than 1143mV.

     Help? Is there a fix?


Thank You for any response!

Hey all,

Anyone have info concerning xHash.net? I can't get the pool to come up.

Thanks for any replies!
