kano, ive flashed new bitmain firmware to my new (to me) s3+ in an attempt to bring the HW% down from 0.225% and I want to flash you update over the top but when I putty in it and type in the wget command line, it returns with "server returned error HTTP/1.1 404 not found".

Is this something ive done wrong or something to do with where the updates are stored?

Thanks for you help in advance  

Edit:-   I didn't put the capital "A & S" in AntS3. Blimey ssh can be a touchy mistress 

Mike,  yea I ssh into it this morning and checked and both read 4.9.2 even though the gui says ones at 4.0.6 and the other is 3.8 something.

I'll risk updating the one that says 3.8something and then do kanos update again to see if it improves.

Bravo Th1nk3r!!! No surely it's time for me to get a block with my mini mining menagerie 

So I've just got to ignore the HW% and readings then. I suppose on the pool side nothing has changed in regards to rejected work but it's still annoying that the new one reads 0.25%hw and the one with other reads 0.002%hw. Obviously I just want to maximise my share on the pool. Would this be a factor on the hashrate the pool receives?

I did check them this morning before work and both showed 4.9.2.  But that still doesn't explain the high HW% compared to the other one.

I've done kanos updates on both machines yet they both still show the cgminer versions I've mentioned previously in the software section.

Plus why are the HW%'s so different? They have been running about the same time since I turned them both on after booking up the new(second hand) s3+.

Ive already updated to kanos version but it didn't change the cgminer. The New(second hand) s3+ ive just hooked up is showing a 0.2235% HW, but the S3+ I have that's running 4.6.1 and kanos update has a rate of 0.001%HW.

That's the only difference so thought updating to the firmware with 4.6.1 would be beneficial.

Is the firmware update ive listed definitely a bad one that bricks miners?

Hi guys,

If I were to update the firmware so that my S3+ runs cgminer 4.6.1 rather than the 3.12.0 it currently has how would I do it?

Ive downloaded bitmains update :-

antMiner_S320141013.bin

which isn't the newest one but the one with the cgminer update and ive read the manual and it says to use the "flash new image" section to do it. Is that correct?

That's the settings for the R1 NOT the U3 

My U3 is currently set at 0800/250m 

That's fair enough I suppose. Cant have it perfect every time lol

On a different note, ive changed the settings for the R1 and it doesn't seem to make any difference when I change the freq. Volts is set at 0725 which is what it was after I did the update. But I put the freq upto 125M but it still hashes at 5.2ghs.

Anyone have any ideas?

Fantastic thank you both. It should be arriving tomorrow so I'll get it updated asap 

Thanks guys, I went through the thread and found a few different post from Rich about voltages and frequencies etc. Also saw the disassembled r1 and still amazed you got it running that high  

I'm tempted to use the guy interface and crank her up but may purchase some self ashesive heatsink a for the case first  

Edit:-  just checked on the u3 and r1 and the u3 had zombied. I thought this was fixed with crazy guys update?

Cheers Mike. I totally get where you're coming from in regards to 5 or 8gh as it makes no difference at all really, but I bought it as a toy to play about with so may aswell see what it can do. I didn't realise it had already been covered in the thread I must have missed it.

Thanks for the info about the u3. I'll have a play about with the settings and see what I can do. Current one I have seems to like 247 and 820 lol.

So I received my antrouter today from eyeboot.com (klintay on the forum) and got to set up with crazy guys update. Now im curious about whos changed the chip settings of the R1 to get the most out of it safely. What settings have you got?

Also when changing the U3 settings does the voltage auto adjust or do you have to manually enter a voltage when you change the freq?

Thanks in advance.

I've been trading with Sardasa since the beginning of the year. I've been buying btc and sending him PayPal. He's a good bloke and always carries out his deal, even when the transaction was delayed (once) he showed proof of the btc being sent then followed up with the transaction in the Blockchain. Top guy, and I continue to deal with him.

Well I put on some red boxers and look what happens today 

So what can we do to get these blocks faster? I want it to go back to the old trend of a Hard block (red) then a nice easy one straight away 

What pool are you with? Is your btc address correct on your pool settings?

Purchased another $45 worth of btc. Smooth transaction as always. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

So ive got another S3+ arriving soon and would like to update it to Kanos wonderful update, but its not accessible through the github website. Does anyone have a different link or have it saved on there computer (stupid me I didn't save it  ) so I can update my next S3?

Thanks.
