On latest initramfs.bin.SD-Kano-20140611145346.tar from https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS2.

Ok. AFAIK it was left as a firmware bug. If you're running on a branch I have no idea if its due to it not being fixed in the branch, or that the main was never fixed.

.7 or .8 jim wins
1 or 1.1 tzortz wins
.9 break even - or both donate .1 to seans outpost Smiley

the bet was about the product, not delivery schedule.

That was my take on it as well. Either agree to invalidate it (draw) or wait.

That error message suggests you're tying in your current password wrong.
Well, I suggest that my current password in miner's web interface is nothing but root. Anyway, I have tried both passwords - root and admin, just to be on the safe side...


What firmware are you on?

I agree it's a good idea to move towards a more mathematical system althpugh I'm not sure about size and ethics being variables.

What exactly is size and what kind of metric will you use for ethics?

There needs to be one or two that can be fudgefactor'ed to take into account new companies. Ie a new company could tick all the boxes (small batch on in hand stock, not screw anyone over, deliver what they promise) and gain the same numerical rating as a company 100x their size. Ethics allows us to take into account things like potential premining, or super farms, or split manufacturing lines or general foul play.

Each of those categories will get a scorecard similar to what the current style has now for A-BFL so its clear whats going on. Typically the ethics one if not a 10 will be explained in the comments. In AM's case, they can't have a perfect score because of their own super farms competing on the network. Not maliciously, and fully disclosed though I may add.

Another example of ethics is Avalon. On the other criteria even as much as people want/ed me to, I wouldn't reduce their rating by much because they didn't fail in those areas. The addition of an ethics score allows the community's views to directly be integrated. There shouldn't be a long line of pissed off customers if a company hasn't done anything wrong, right?

Additional notes for this round:
  • These changes are designed to make it easier and less time consuming to participate.
  • The time of each round has been increased to 10 days to reduce the administration (and emails from me) of each round.
  • Expected impressions per slot are back to their nominal 10,000 per slot. In future the number of slots will be increased to match traffic increases in order to keep the 10,000 and the prices comparable from round to round.
  • Number of ad slots increased to 7 due to the increase in round time and traffic.
  • I may impose a max slots per person during the auction (likely 5).

What is being auctioned? Why?
Non intrusive ad space in my setup guides is being publicly auctioned. This has prior approval from Theymos.

I work for the community full time and am not funded by the community or any company. Donations have not exceeded $50 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 (728x90 pixels), static images (jpg, jpeg, gif, png), non annoying colors
  • Totally unaffected by adblock.
  • 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 7 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 10,000 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 7 days, to end at midnight London time on Friday 1st August / 3PM PDT Friday 1st August / 6PM EDT Friday 1st August.
- 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 @ 0.5" means 2 slots for BTC 0.5 each. Not 2 slots for 0.5 BTC total.
- The bidding starts at BTC 0.20.
- All bid prices must be evenly divisible by BTC 0.02.
- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first.

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.

5250  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive RockMiner R-Box Setup [HD] on: July 26, 2014, 02:09:08 PM
Ok, got 2x of the 32Gb Rockminers.
Running cgminer 4.4.1 with Zadig drivers loaded to both miners.
However, only one miner showsup in cgminer. Ive tried swapping the USB plugs and re-installing the drivers.
No luck.
What else can I do?

What LEDs do you get on the units? Tried swapping the power?
Both running off a 350W brick (from old Gridseed setup).
Both showing the red light, but only one at a time showing the blinking blue light.
Tried swapping USB cables, changing ports.
What's interesting is that I got the second unit going, but then the first unit didn't work.
So, basically, I think both units are good, but for some reason only 1 at a time is working.
Both show-up in device manager, and I put the driver details side-by-side and verified they are using the same driver.

Don't gridseeds use a 2.1mm power connector, rather than 2.5mm? 1 at a time could indeed be power related. Remember power is 4-5x that of a gridseed.
Each rBox is suposto pull max 50W, so a total of 100W for both. The psu im using is a 350W unit, so it shouldn't be a problem.
As for the size of the plug, it seems to fit fine, and both of the red-lights come on and fans spin-up when I plug in...

Ok. 2.1mm will sort of fit in a 2.5mm but the contact on the live pin might not be good enough to carry a sizeable load (which 30-40W is for this style of connector).

In relation to the software side, do you have a 2nd machine you could test things on? Again come in with Zadig, plug both in, latest cgminer with no additional strings.

Anyone have a link for what mounting rails/ears? Or specs on what to buy?

Should add meant for Sp30.

The dimension allegedly are: D 554 X W 431 X H 88.4 mm.
I'm personally considering buying this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291075344625?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649


Does anyone know if there will be any problem with plugging my 2 x SP30 at my apartment, in United Kingdom, to 230v 50Hz mains socket? Someone on the forum once mentioned something about some issue.

I just need the mounting ears for a standard data center 2U rack mount. Not sure what you call them. That seems like a ton of heat for an Apartment. I use air cooling in a Large Garage I pay for and its quite warm with 4000KW. Unless your Apartment is very Large?

I'm basically just curious, seems like a lot of power for an Apartment I guess.

4000KW would be a lot of heat, yes Wink 4000W isn't much at all if you can separate the heat from anywhere humans need to be (another bedroom). Heck you can cram 10KW into a single room if you've got two windows or split flow a single window. And remember in the UK for the majority of the year, our ambient is 2-10C so free AC from outside.

You'll have to split the physical sockets those SP30s are on but they'll run off a single 32A circuit fine. I wouldn't want anything else substantial on that circuit though. Fridge, microwave etc should be fine.

Most sensible flats will have 2x 32A circuits on a 63A RLD switch.

LOL

So what, they got set up some mining farm for themselves, with some dragon miners... Did they ship the pre-orders to the Russian customers? Did they ship the test unit to Dogie? Anyone with enough money can open a mining farm in Shenzhen...

Effin' ridiculous...

No they didn't, not heard from them in a while.
5254  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain AntMiner S1 Setup on: July 26, 2014, 07:48:11 AM
HELP!

My other 3 AntMiner S1s are happily running offsite. Just picked up 3 machines with a single power supply.

Need the simple cable diagram for hooking them up. They've been run before, should be close to plug and play. Going to reset the miners before attempting to log in and do that work.

Each miner has 2 CAT-5 Jacks, where do each of those go? One per to the router/internuts connection? I have a 5 port hub, use that?

you guys rock. thanks!


Power cabling is in the OP, its all there in the pictures. If you have a newer unit you'll have a PCI-E cable per blade rather than needing the screw terminal. Each miner has a single ethernet cable, that goes to your router. You can use a hub in between, yes.

they have said it is the first batch of chips that are the problem..i think they also said it was a heat issue...my guess is you will get 2 boxes 1 board 1 power supply each
and the extra size fans and the bigger box now with only one board would limit any heat issues imho..and/or compensation for batch 1 orders with this bunch of chips
in refund of $$$ etc

Its always a heat issue when it comes to bitcoin mining, but its not the problem in this case. They won't ship half filled units for no reason, those cases are expensive and the cooling performance wouldn't increase hugely without totally redesigning the heatsinks. Makes no sense to part it and also require additional control boards, half the density, double the shipping etc. Fiat costs are expensive.
