I will suggest just 1 thing. That is we will allow only to give 1 feedback each account not like multiple feedback.
Taking feedback from same person multiply times rating increase so much and don't give true sense.
So better if it will only give us chance to feedback once.We will able to update/modify that if we want but not multiply the feedback many times.
Then you're weighting multiple successful trades the same as one. |

Hi Guys.
Be careful with the last firmware of January. I was update it yesterday in the night and today my S3+ is burn for the expensive voltage.
My Power supply, Corsair HX 1050 is work fine, but 2 of the PCIe connections are burn and the s3 don't mining. It only mining 10 minutes to 450Gh and down the hash to 50Gh more or less.
I had flash to the October firmware but my problem continue same. Any help, please?.
Best regards.
Antuam.
Can you post a picture please? Its very likely going to be an RMA if its under warranty though. PM BitmainWarranty to arrange an RMA. Be sure to link to your post describing the issues, what type and how many miners you wish to have repaired/replaced and your bitmaintech.com order number. |

Try actually reading my post ...
Look at the quote history, condensed this time. The noise is not bad.
I'd suggest you get your hearing checked. Noise levels are relative for different people. Seriously? You gonna say that? Oh OK - your doing paid advertising spin - I didn't see your stupid bias comments to ckolivas before. My comment was in relation to you telling someone else to 'get their hearing checked' just because they had a different opinion on how 'loud' they felt the S5 was. Lets keep it civil in here please, no one is arguing, no one is shouting, everything is calm. |

It must be the overclocking that crashes the firmware and you MUST hard reset the whole thing. I suppose if you want to get 70ghs out of these puppies then you need to be ready to fix them everyday or create something to cut USB power and +12v with some kind of MCU... I could do it but not worth it really.
No, its not overclocking. My two has zombied from day one, before i even tried anything other than default. And one of them has only given me 40-45 for the most part since i got it. Due to the shipping cost of them however, it's not worth it to return it from here, i'll just make sure to warn people of the low quality of these.. Too bad, other than that, i kind of like these units. Yea, mine just ZOMBIED on normal settings. Bugger it. I cant be asked going to pull the cables out and in every single fucking day just for this... but they are pretty sweet. I think i need to come up with something clever and automated... dont have enough time though.. sucks. I might as well overclock them a bit since I have to to replug the fuckers every 24 hours any way. Morning routine +replug U3's CHECK... What type of hub are you on, powered or not powered? USB 3.0 or 2.0? There is also some newer firmware being tested which may fix some of the soft images, but zombie'ing is usually a brief interruption on USB. USB 2.0 Direct into Motherboard USB Slots, NO Hub, and proper USB shielded USB cable. U3 12V Powered from 450WATT, separate PSU. It happens only after some hours and a brief interruption USB should just restart mining, for example. Pull out USB cable, ZOMBIE after 10 seconds, plug in USB cable, ZOMBIE goes away. In this situation the only way to remove ZOMBIE is to hard power cycle the unit, becuase cgminer does not pickup the USB, or if it does it cannot communicate with it, which means the firmware shat a brick sideways. If you can turn off USB somehow, then thats the key to hard cycle the U3. I just noticed even with 12volt plugged, the red light inside goes out. Also, I deliberatly sacrificed a USB cable and cut the 5V. I wanted to see if I could just turn the PSU on and OFF which would also power cycle MCU on the U3. But no.. that would be to easy. The MCU is powered by the USB +5 and the ASICS are powered by the 12volt line. Please note these are Pure deductions by trial and error. I have not fried anything, yet. Phew. A powered USB hub will likely help, as there is some power draw through the USB port. You're right that windows / firmware / whatever it is controlling the device to the OS / cgminer shouldn't behave like that, but it does. I am not sure which party in that has control over a potential remedy. |

Just got S5 and it is hashing steady. The noise is not bad. From the reviews I thought it was going to be much louder. Its a higher pitch for sure, its small in size and not really overwhelming. I have one setup in my bedroom and don't think it will be a problem.
I'd suggest you get your hearing checked. Mine is in the sub level basement garage of my apartment building, and anyone who walks down to the basement garage can hear it (my garage is the furthest away in the basement) dB readings: Standing outside my garage door - 7meters from it - garage door, car, a wall of boxes between me and the S5: 59dB 1meter direct line of sight from the S5: 69dB 1foot above the S5: 77dB The heat sink exit metal temp reading is only 39degress - so maybe the fan is over compensating? ... Noise levels are relative for different people. I worked 5m away from an SP10 for 14 hours a day for about 4 months so I have a different reference frame then say someone who has only ever had an ASICMiner Cube. Seriously? You gonna say that? I posted dB readings ... so my post is quite specific, not a random vague "I got used to loud noises from an SP10 and now I'm deaf" comment. Edit: Oh OK - your doing paid advertising spin - I didn't see your stupid bias comments to ckolivas before: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=902305.msg10056977#msg10056977I'll check with Bitmain directly and see what they have to say. Kano, you're being really aggressive the last few months and there really is zero need for it. My comment was in relation to you telling someone else to 'get their hearing checked' just because they had a different opinion on how 'loud' they felt the S5 was. Take it down a notch please. |

Can someone help me understand what the following means/does:
Utility - Number of shares [at worker diff] submitted a minute DH - What percent of shares were lost due to hardware errors [in terms of diff 1] DiffA - Number of shares [diff 1] which were accepted and credited by your pool DiffR - Number of shares [diff 1] which were rejected and not credited by your pool |

Also, some people who I consider very trustworthy, like DannyHamilton, John K, or DeathAndTaxes didn't make the list simply because they don't spam up every thread with their unsolicited opinion like I do  John K is on the list, he's 3rd? |

Considering that my power brick melted which forced me to modify the unit to accept power from 12V off my PSU, am I still covered for this warranty?
Yes you are still covered. |

As I stated before, we can't get refunds (from Bitmain) unless we bought a pallet of them unless Bitmain can get their resellers to issue the refunds. My reseller (MinerSource) will NOT issue a refund.
I have been trying to RMA my U3 for 2 weeks now but I cannot get an RMA number or I can't get someone to say to send it in without an RMA#. At first I was PM'd by user BitmainWarranty on Dec 26 who saw these forum posts and told me:
a) if I bought it with a credit card I can do a chargeback with the vendor (!)
or
b) if it is defective I can send it in for repair. They provided the Colorado address but no RMA #.
BUT IF ALL U3'S ARE DEFECTIVE HOW CAN IT BE REPAIRED?
I replied back and asked if I needed an RMA # and no response. I am not going to ship my U3 off without an RMA # unless I am told explicitly to do so, and even then I want to know that my unit is defective and that there are units that actually work that it can actually be repaired or replaced.
Then I was PM'd by BITMAIN_YHQIN who knew nothing of the PMs from BitmainWarranty, and rather than provide an RMA # they wanted to know where I bought it and the order ID and (ugh) a description of the problem (really?). I replied to this on Monday morning and have not heard back.
They're not all defective, there are 1000s and 1000s and 1000s of U3s doing fine. I can't force Bitmain / BitmainWarranty to accept a return or refund you because I don't have authority on behalf of the company, but send it in without RMA. Write the information you've provided here on a sheet, a long with minersource order info. Most likely your unit will be replaced. If for whatever reason everything fails and after a few months you can't get emails replied, I'll cover you for the U3 personally. Not much more that I can do, sorry. |

the kill-a-watt I have is showing at 1115 Watts at the wall. Since just moving the box it has been shutting off quickly. The only other thing that I have done is update the firmware a while back and have it set at 196M and 725 Volts. I have a 18 gauge computer cable that showed some wear on one of the terminals. I ordered a 14 gauge cable to replace it. There's some dust inside, but other than that I'm not sure what is going on. Anyone have this problem. I'm close to retiring it anyway, but would still like to know if it works fine (and safe) until I shut it off completely.
What voltage and frequency were you running before? If you're getting 1115W at the wall then you're very close to maxing the PSU. (as are stock S2s though). It's always been stock frequency and voltage. So I'm not really sure why its doing that. In addition, the watts start out at 1090 and then increase after thirty minutes to 1132. After this at some point it shuts off. I'm not an expert on electronics, but could this be something that would be caused by one, the 18 gauge power cable? Or dust in the S2? Or do you think it is the update I made to the firmware? Did you replace the cable before you moved the box? Was it working fine with the new cable before you moved it? I'd suggest trying the old cable for an hour to eliminate that possibility. If you see dust in the miner then there is probably more in there than you think, I'd suggest taking the boards out and cleaning them off with a damp cloth. You'll be surprised how dirty they get and what a difference it makes to the fan speed after a decent cleaning. At this point I'm a bit stumped. I have tested it several times using the following. The old cord, a new 14awg computer cable, and compressed air cleaned the boards, moved the miner to several different outlets. The same occurs on all miner starts off around 1080 watts and climbs to 1125-30 and abrubtly shuts off. I've reset the boards, I am using the new firmware. I've rebooted it from the gui. I tried the reset button on the outside of the box and for some reason I couldn't get the button to work, not sure where that leaves me. At this point I have a seemingly functioning miner that increases watts until it exceeds the internal psu and shuts off. I have not used Kano firmware, but did mod something quite a while back to change something from (not frequency) but some other function to 1 that would reduce HW errors. However the miner has run exceptionally well for at least six months since that time. Any ideas of what it could be electrically that could cause an increase in watts from the boards? Have you been able to underclock after booting to see if you can get it to stay up? |

If there was any real work behind the 16nm chip they can sell the design to someone. That's a big if though.
They would have had to at least pretend like they were moving ahead with the latest designs to appear relevant at all.
Its an unproven design at this stage though, so most companies would rather use their own work / info / preference in design when they're risking $1-5M. Even if it looks better. |

Aerobatic where are you? I thought you were hired to do PR / CS on the forums for CT and you had LOTS of money involved with them among other ASIC companies.
Where has the best company gone?
im still here. i wasnt and have never been hired by cointerra. i was an angel investor (and advisor). i live in the UK. i lose if they die - i invested cash along with the other angel investors. it was a big deal for me. clearly, i hope they survive. ive not heard anything first hand. what ive read here is all that i know, and its hard to know whats really going on from what little info ive seen. i was not a part of the more recent financing (secured debt), but obviously, senior debt-holders are a priority over 'regular' investors like me, and the other shareholders. its up to the debt-holders to decide what the company can do now, and whether it can continue to trade or be restructured in some way. if a company gets into a financial difficulty, i believe the order of priority for who gets paid back are: senior debt holders, debtors, employees, customers, and finally investors... with the price of bitcoin where it is, the market for bitcoin mining is almost non existent and its unprofitable to mine when your costs are in dollars. if cointerra dies it wont be the first, nor the last mining company to do so. hope it doesnt die, cos it cost me (and others) a lot! I believe customers and debtors get lumped together (at least in the UK anyway), and employees have a pretty good chance of getting paid due to government schemes (at least in the UK). |

Can we get a firmware that actually has the correct fan speed? Out of 11 miners, 6 are wrong.
Hfan Fans
1740 1740 1380
1560 1560 1200
1860 1860 1620
1500 1500 1320
1740 1740 1500
7140 4260 7140
9300 7200 9300
8460 8460 6240
9480 7500 9480
8940 8700 8940
10500 7080 10500
What do you mean? What is that data? It is the fan data from my S3's pages. Why are there 3 columns though, that's what I'm asking. |

I always recall Bitmain being very clear about OC'ing voiding the warranty. Just because something is capable of doing something does not mean that the manufacturer cannot warranty void that behavior.
Go buy a Jeep and take it off road and brake it...they will not fix it!
Go buy a Corvette and brake it at the track...they will not fix it!
Pretty standard stuff.
ig
Why would you buy a jeep if you didn't want to take it off road....and yes they will fix it... He's suggesting if you take it off road and ram it into a rock, its not going to be covered under their warranty as that's not something that is warrantyable. In the same way that if I feed an S5 24V and it explodes, its also not covered under the warranty. |

What do I do if not all of the ASICS are online even after multiple restarts?
Can you post a screenshot of your configuration page please? |

To add more information to things I just now checked on it again as I saw it was not hashing on my pool and saw the LCD screen was lit up but the LAN connection was no longer showing blinking lights or any sort of light. Works fine after a reset once again...
It almost seems to me that the controller board on this unit is defective. This has been going on for over a day now.
The controller boards reeeeally rarely fail, its much more likely to be the SD card. Try reflashing the SD card with the image in post #2 (or clone your other unit). If that doesn't help then we're on to searching for the hardware cause. Not to double post about my current issue, but I never see a light at all around the controller board or the Lan port, or really anywehere except the ones by the pushbutton on the PSU where I see the flashing red and steady yellow. Is this PS related or should I try flashing. What software to write the image to the SD card, I have a card reader. Flashing red + yellow means faulty, PM BitmainWarranty to arrange an RMA. Be sure to link to your post describing the issues, what type and how many miners you wish to have repaired/replaced and your bitmaintech.com order number. |

I am missing one barb to complete the system and was wondering is it was possible to leave the return-to-res hoses hanging in the reservoir instead of tied held by a barb.
In other words, I want to omit the barb fitting where there is no need for water tightness. (In my mind there isn't a need)
Your proposed solution is fine as long as you're comfortable with the risks of leaks or things getting knocked over. Without a barb, the returning fluid will impart some force on the radiator. |

Anyone experimented with trying cgminer for the S3 on the C1?
The firmwares are not interchangeable. Why do you want to do this? |
