Hello there, I'm from Russia and have ordered 1 x ANTMINER S5 BATCH 4. Now I need some advice from you ... I have a new out of the box PSU Fractal Design NEWTON R3 80PLUSŪ Platinum http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/power-supplies/newton/newton-r3-600w and I'll going in anyway to connect it to S5. Which are the potential minuses I'll get if use the PSU NEWTON R3 with Antminer S5? Please list all if it possible. Thanks. That psu is not sufficient for S5. S5 power consumption is about 660 watt. You need to use at least pure 750 watt psu. S5 power consumption is 600W at the wall, that means ~500W pre PSU. The PSU is fine for a single S5. The may die prematurely if the quality is not enough, but then you can warranty replace it. Quality of this PSU is 80PLUSŪ Platinum. However, I do not chase for high hashrate, for me important is stable operation of the S5 with this PSU, may be via underclock, but I don't know how set correctly value. You can't undervolt with that (or pretty much any) PSU so don't worry about that. You can underclock as normal though. |

If people create an alt army to spam someone's trust, it will be very apparent and people will value those 30 identical reviews much less than a single -1 showing up next to someones name. If someone has a valid feedback claim, it will be typed in a legible matter, it will be accurate in the amount of BTC risked, and there will be a reference link where a reasonable person could read through the evidence and make an informed judgement call over whether that person is trustworthy.
You may be able to tell the difference, but 95% of members won't. They'll just see a wall of red and close that window, never to trade with that person again. |

What is being auctioned? Why?Non intrusive ad space in my setup guides is being publicly auctioned. I work for the community full time and am not funded by the community. Donations have not exceeded $100 in total this year and so I have to find a way to keep the guides sustainable and FREE for the average consumer. Selling ad space is one such trial.
Ad Format- Leaderboard style (728x90px), static images (jpg, gif, png), non annoying colors.
- Ads may not misrepresent, lie, be inappropriate, be (or link to) NSFW content. I reserve the right to reject ads for other reasons or remove ads even after they have been accepted.
- There are 5 ad slots for sale. One slot will be placed after sections 2, 4 and 6 in all the guides listed at the bottom of the post.
- I will randomise which ad is placed in which slot on each guide so each slot receives the same impressions.
- The ads last at least 10 days starting from when they are put up. Traffic is expected to be 14,000 impressions per slot over the period.
- This traffic is exceptionally targeted to the hardware subforum, and more specifically to those who have either bought or are looking to buy miners.
Auction Format- Auction will run for approximately 10 days, to end at midnight London time / 3PM PDT / 6PM EDT on Thursday 15th January.
- Post your bids in this thread. Prices must be stated in BTC per slot. You must state the max number of slots you want.
- The notation "2 @ 0.30" means 2 slots for BTC 0.30 each. Not 2 slots for 0.30 BTC total.
- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first.
- Bidding starts at BTC 0.30. All bid prices must be evenly divisible by BTC 0.05.
I reserve the right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made. In particular, bids from people with less than 15 activity points are likely to be rejected. I recommend not getting into a bidding war with someone who has less than 15 activity points, as their bids might not be accepted, but your latest bids will still stand. If you need to know right away whether someone's bids will be accepted, PM me. You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else. I will send you the payment information via forum PM from this account ("dogie", user ID 87869). You might receive false payment information from scammers pretending to be me. They might even have somewhat similar usernames. Be careful.
TaxesThere is only tax due to EU and UK bidders, and there is no additional cost to anyone (apart from me). Just clarifying to making sure its a level playing field and collecting any legally required taxes. US and rest of world - bid as normal, no VAT.VAT registered UK businesses - will be invoiced an additional 20% VAT on bid prices [which they can later reclaim at no cost] VAT registered EU businesses - bid as normal, please let me know your VAT registration number. Non VAT registered UK - bid as normal, I will pay 20% tax and take the hit. Non VAT registered EU - bid as normal, I will pay 20% tax and take the hit.
Dogie's Miner Setup Guides:.Dogie's USB Setup Guides:.Dogie's General Guides:
tldr for getting started:- Starting bid is BTC 0.30 per slot, bid increment is BTC 0.05.
- 5 slots being sold
- Bid using "slots @ price each" notation (3 @ 0.30 means 3 slots @ BTC 0.30 each)

Okay, modified some code I had so we can compare different ideas as they arrive. Its a pretty arbitrary system to pick up on 9 points we may want to optimise for. Every criteria is "No" =1, "Sort of" =5 or "Yes" =10 - I don't believe we need to go deeper. Titles should be self explanatory but let me know if they're not. Please DON'T quote the code as it will keep changing and there will be confusing fragments and ratings everywhere. | ___________________________________________________________________________ | _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _ | | Default Trust | |

So when you say "fixed in the next one" does that mean batch 2 or the next firmware version whenever that is? And is this the same firmware we can update at home (whenever it is released)?
Firmware (not guaranteed to be next, more 'soon') and yes normal firmware you flash via web browser. |

..... as the S5's require a reboot pretty often due to a firmware issue that makes one hash board drop off every other day.....  @ Bitmain: Any news on a firmware fix for this in the near future? I can't imagine buying multiple units until this is fixed, it's bad enough having to babysit the one unit. Do you think this can be fixed with software or is it maybe inherent to the "chain design" implemented in the S5 hardware? Personally, I think it's a firmware issue - maybe if Bitmain would confirm...... This is the first I heard of this and I have a batch 3 order so shipping any time now. Is everyone experiencing this? Does restarting cgminer fix it temporarily? I have a batch 2 S3 that needs a ton of babysitting also because the hashrate drifts lower and lower the longer it runs, so what I finally did was create a cron job to restart cgminer. I originally did a cron job to reboot the thing but one time it rebooted and got all hosed up and didn't mine at all for hours so I just restart cgminer now. Its already confirmed:
Overnight, one of the blades curiously went xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxo running at stock 350 with the temps at 63C. Rebooted and it's working OK again.
Hmmm.....I got back from New Years Eve celebrations earlier and noticed the same thing with mine, but all X's. They all came back after a reboot also, but it is a little worrying.....  Anyone else had this? that's alarming... There is a known firmware bug where one module drops out but both still display as mining and temperatures fixed. This may be the same bug and will be fixed in the next one. And yes, its very much firmware. |

For S4, if the miner powers up, the back light of the small LCD comes on but screen shows blank, highly likely it is the MicroSD card either got loose inside, or data on the microSD card got corrupted. You will find the MicroSD card inside the case, behind the LCD panel and next to the PSU. There is a Black Colored Beagle Bone Black and there is a little MicroSD card slot on it. Lightly push the card and it will pop right out and push it back in. Then please try to power it back on and see if it boots up. If not, you may have to use this software to reimage (Write) the factory default data of S4.

That link to Image Software doesn't appear to be a Windows app. M You can use http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ instead. |

i just put the new 0103 firmware on my s3s.. HWE% is higher then its ever been The 0103 firmware is real lousy I am getting HW ERRORS now and never got them before even dropped it down to stock speed still NO GOOD just to many HW ERRORS way to go BITMAIN!!!!
Reported to engineers, thanks. |

That is more than just internet or other soft problems. You need to reflash the SD card using the image in the #2 post of this thread. Remove the case, download SD card imager and use it to flash the image here. I just found out that my ISP filters all of the ports exept 5 ports 3333 and 80 are not among them . can I mine to 3389 port or I need to use SSH tunnel or VPN service ?? can I set my router to route connections to that ssh ?? I'd still try the SD card image first. You may be able to reroute to pool via BFG as a proxy. |

So I've done a ton of experimenting and investigating on the S5 noise problem and found something very interesting.
The fan on the front of the S5 is NOT a 38mm fan. It's a 38mm form factor with more 25mm blades and a smaller static set of vanes on the inside to direct airflow. That means it has extra noise compared to an equivalent 38mm fan and does not generate the higher static air pressure that a 38mm fan would - presumably it was chosen for higher CFM compared to the 38mm version they used to include on the S3. So I ripped the fan off the back of the S3 and stuck it on the front of the S5. Noise levels are now significantly lower and the cooling is only marginally less effective.
This is different to the S3 fan, which is a generic "12025" with a 38mm deep rotor. The S4 and S5 fan utilises a 25mm deep rotor coupled with what I call a prespin. This type of design is typically required to prevent backflow at very high static pressures + high CFM combinations. Weird things would happen to the airflow patterns if you didn't use one. tldr, its not a 'cheaper' or 'noisier' design, its a requirement to reach that performance threshold. |

The pictures make your guides the best!  That's why I just dropped another $X,000 on a new setup, I no longer have a bedroom! |

Let's see if I can't help you... still waiting on my C1's but been mining for long.
First of all, I figure you changed from Static to DCHP, well, the miner needs an antenna if you go DHCP (WiFi)
Secondly, to access the computer, you need be on the same subnet as the miner.
Manually change your computer's IP to 192.168.1.199 (Yes, .1.199)
You should now be able to access your miner's interface.
However you still need to directly connect to the miner itself to change its settings... you will need an ethernet cable and a router/switch.
Sometimes you can connect directly to the miner sometimes you can't, via ethernet cable... (I never use DHCP)
If it don't work directly or with a router though, you will need a switch... you may need to even change your router's IP address since some routers use 192.168.1.1 as default address which often conflicts with a mining network.
Personally, I cannot connect directly to my miners and have no idea why but works through a switch or router.
If you go buy a switch make sure you get a big enough one you can grow into with GigaBit (10/100/1000) ethernet. (No pun intended)
I got a 24 port Rosewill, has a 5 year warranty and costs around $100, tough and does its job perfectly and then some.
I just got a tp-link router . I connected the miner to it and yes , I'm now able to access to the miner page . but the problem still unsolved : the miner doesn't mine . I'm sure it's connected to the internet . Is there any special configuration for the pools ?? I'm not really sure if my connection goes through a 80 port . any advice ?? screenshots http://postimg.org/image/ej19vprbj/http://postimg.org/image/hh2u35ocv/http://postimg.org/image/x00a09wnj/That is more than just internet or other soft problems.

Yes, we'll check power draw on Sunday.
Any update on this? I've poked him, should be along shortly. |

It's not the best solution but still better than Default Trust. I voted for Yes.
Why don't we / others brainstorm different models and vote on all of them? There doesn't have to be just one alternative. Nothing to stop you or anyone else. I encourage the discussion of alternative models but people will ever agree on one and there will always be issues. I can't envision any feedback system that will work anywhere near perfectly here. Yeah I'll make up some ratings so we can evaluate the ideas we currently have, to see what they do well and what they do badly. Then we can modularise some of those elements to come up with more ideas. |

i don't have a camera but i triple checked the picture u posted with the tubes and thats what mine looks like. apparently there was a loop in my tube? i moved them around and the liquid started flowing.. and i had to put a little more in the reservoir. but now its all in the 40's. i'll post again if things go bad again (hopefully its nothing serious again) it has now been over an hour and the temps are UNDER 40 so all is well, i guess i just need to make sure of certain things before i start freakin  Glad to hear it. You can buy some anti kink springs online if you think its liable to happen again. |
