So I thought I'd post my experiences after having my first S1 up and running for just over 24 hours. I'm used of dealing with various OS's due to my work (deskside support lead for a major cable TV network). I deal with Macs, Windows and even the odd linux box. Which is good since I have mostly PC's at home and 1 mac and and my new Antminer running linux.  Open it up, get it hooked up to the new PSU I ordered. No issues there. Fire it up. Use my laptop to connect to it via IP after putting it into the same subnet. Reconfigure the IP settings of the miner and put into the proper range for my home network. Then turn it to DHCP and statically assign it in my router. This way as I add new devices, I can't screw up and assign the same IP and it will always get the same IP from the router.  Someone a couple of pages ago mentioned a stock speed of 160 GH/S. I was getting 140 GH/S after about 10 minutes after configuring my mining pool (eligius). Start messing with OCing and cooling. Add a second fan. One good thing about being a computer tech...always have extra parts around!!  Late last night, finally get it going to 200 GH/S and holding. Go to bed. Wake up today. Still going. Get to work and check. No good. Hash rate has dropped big time. Remote into my home server and SSH into the device and order a reboot. It comes back to a nicely tuned 200 GH/S. Start to have hashing rate issues again in the afternoon but don't have enough time to really mess with it until I get home. I have the device in my basement, in my storage room beside my server. Ambient temps in the room were around 79F. Get the AC going a bit more and put a fan to blow cooler air from the hallway towards the miner. Room temp now down to 74F. Temps on the miner are 45/43C with them being overclocked 387 freq. I'm getting right around 190 GH/s. It should be a bit higher but it's also drawing about 375 watts according my watt meter. Not sure if this had anything to do with it either way but I plugged it into a 500 watt UPS just in case I was having noise on my outlet. The only other thing plugged into the UPS is my cable modem (got to keep my network up and running!) and I'm still running around 390 watts so I don't think I should be seeing a drain on the battery. Anyways, I'll have to keep an eye on it's hash rate. I'm still not convinced I have the issues all quite solved but I should know by tomorrow afternoon. High tomorrow is 86F here in Atlanta. A quick update. UPS ran out of juice. Had to move the miner to an outlet on the UPS that isn't part of it's battery backup. But I still get the power line conditioning. Everything is back up and running. I'm mining back to 196 GH/s. Nice... 500 watts is cutting it really tight with an overclock on a 500 watt UPS Without knowing the psu specs I might say it's pushing the psu to the limit and it's overheating on you. I don't think the miners are the real issue since mine runs hotter and I haven't had any issues like you described yet.* edited to add I blew up a cheapy 500 watt psu attempting to run both blades at stock. It ran the one fine. As soon as both blades started to mine, the psu melted down.. *different ants run differently though too.. |

Those only affect systems that are affected by heartbleed. So if openssl has been upgraded from the affected version there is no issues. |

I started mining on this pool just a few weeks ago, but, whats the avg earning / day for 200 GH/s for example?(1 antminer S1).
For example, one day i earned around 8 €, another 10€, another maybe 5€... it depends always on the blocks of course... sometimes a block is found with just mins or 1 hour, and sometimes you have to wait 17 hours xDD
That question is the intrigue of The Great and Mighty SLUSH POOL. Since Slush is not the biggest fish in the sea, there is no "average day" and therefore, no "average earning / day". On the rare day, we may feel lucky to get 1 block resolved, and then on another we may be so blessed as to get 10 or more blocks resolved. These past few days have been wonderful, and that is why I mine SLUSH. I find it boring to sit back knowing that every hour, we would find a block and that being part of a "super sized" pool, each and every participant would receive his tiny share of the reward, but the consistency would be there at at the end of the month or the end of the three month cycle I would find "X" bitcoin in my wallet. With SLUSH, we may have a slow day with 1 block, and the next day we may have a very exciting rush of blocks. Ultimately, and "on average", at the end of the month I would find that same number of Bitcoin in my wallet, but the "roller coaster ride" made it all worth the drama and excitement of mining with SLUSH. Typically any of the Bitcoin Calculators will tell you what to "expect" to earn in a given month. If you work with a "super sized" pool, you'll find that estimation to be fairly close. If you work with a less than "super sized" pool, you'll find that estimation to be fairly close. The way that I look at it is, do I want to be bored while waiting for my Bitcocin bank to build, or do I want DRAMA, and Excitement, and a bit of misery along the path to the bank, and every time, I choose SLUSH. Ride the roller coaster! even though it's a slush pool thread and it's all about love on slush. that's silly because that's like walking past a dollar bill and not picking it up. There are other pools that don't charge a mining pool fee and allow manual withdraws. |

I would like to see more improvements done to the firmware. Options added to the miner page like the ability to; Specify if it's failover or round robin instead of needing to edit the config files manually for example. A graph of performance added to the monitoring would be neat too. Pay someone on the cgminer team to tweak better performance would be nice  Since the S1 is discontinued I can't see them doing any hardware upgrades really. The possibility of daisy chaining more blades would have been neat without needing another controller.That's a good point. Nope. The controller on the S1 can only handle 2 blades, and based on my conversations with them recently and in the past, they dont plan on changing that. like I said since it's discontinued it won't be happening anyway. So to even discuss whether it can or can't is just worthless. |

I read a tutorial on how to use the server PSU on an S1. Does this require that same kind of effort to make work? That tutorial had soldering, cutting copper bars, more soldering, making PCI-e connectors, even more soldering... DIY projects can be fun, but that just looked painful. There is a slightly easier way in doing it. At least one that doesn't involved cutting bars. Soldering and hacking is still required and compared to buying a new one for a bill plus; The pain may be worth it to some. |

Long rant
I'm one of those guys that seem to have their very own Murphy's law agent with them all the time.
If it can go wrong it will.
Anyone else out there that has their own agent as well? I just need to find comfort in knowing
it doesn't happen to me all the dang time!
2 examples that happened in less than a week.
1) I need a large diameter fuel line hose. Only 1 place carries it in stock and they are about 13 miles away.
Ok good deal! I get there right after they open in the morning. Tell the guy this is what I need..
He than spends the next 20 minutes looking for this hose and coming back to me to show me what they have in stock even though
it isn't what I asked for. He tells me they don't have it and I tell him that I verified the night before, it was there in stock.
It's on the website inventory
So 5 minutes later he find the hose.. Imagine that..
Great I think.. He hands the hose off to another lackey to cut it the length I need. I noticed it wasn't an even cut.
I don't pay much mind to it since I assumed the guy started at the length I needed and cut a little longer (angle side)
I get home get to work and BAM.. the dumarse cut the hose 3/4" too short and the angled side was the actual measurement I needed.
Fortunately I was able to make it somehow work but seriously a 35$ hose needs to be cut right the first time..
2) I'm working on modifying a PSU and I go to the hardware store to pick up supplies.
They have only 2 10 gauge connectors that I need and no more in stock.. WTF kind of store is this..
Next I tell the girl working I need some 12 awg cable and how many feet of it.
I pay for my items go home and guess what? I get (1) 12 awg wire and (1) 14 awg wire..
WTF!!!!
Seriously this crap happens on almost a weekly basis.
I know shit happens right?
Every dam day here..
Both of the issues seem to be due to lack of communication. Maybe you could work on better communicating what you need? Just an idea, think about it and try it, don't hate, I'm the same way when I'm not careful with what I'm saying. And be mindful - check the hose before you leave the store to see if it's properly cut - these people are probably making close to minimum wage, they don't care. Really you got bad communication out of this? I don't how much more specific I could have been. I give part numbers I verify it is in stock. I point to the wire. I say what I wanted explicitly. No it's just dumbass people who don't give a crap about their job. I don't care if they are making minimum wage. Just because they make a crap living wage does not excuse poor performance. Hate it? get another job.. Because crap like that should get an employee fired. It sure in the heck doesn't do anything for a repeat customer. |

I tried 4.0.0 windows 32-bit with 20 antminer U2+ and ST= started out at 22 then went to 24-28 after 3-4 hours as opposed to 3.10.0 starting out at ST=9 then adjusting after 3-4 days to 12-14. Now I only point this out because my reject rate skyrocketed. It seems that with the new version, ST= is much higher from launch than 3.10.0 and every time a new block is detected, I end up with about 20+ stales, followed by another 7-15 either stales or duplicates.
I also had a deal where 4.0.0 stopped mining when my ethernet connection failed for a moment but the miner program just stopped, liked it didn't even try to continue or reconnect. Its hard to say for sure with that since it seems 4.0.0 is meant to be a bit quieter.
I experienced similar problems with 4.0 producing more rejected shares and shutting down for no apparent reason. I went back to 3.99 for now until some wrinkles get ironed out and perhaps a r-box driver is available then I will try 4 again. I don't have nearly that many u2's but mine are working fine in 4.0.0 or at least appear to be. Haven't noticed anything different actually. Been running 4.0 since release pretty much. |

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/owner-bitcoin-linked-sites-settles-sec-case-23975428By MARCY GORDON AP Business Writer The co-owner of two bitcoin-related Websites is paying almost $51,000 to settle federal civil charges that he sold shares in the businesses without registering them as securities offerings. The Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday announced the settlement with Erik Voorhees in connection with soliciting investors to buy shares in the two sites, SatoshiDICE and FeedZeBirds. The SEC said investors paid for the shares they bought with bitcoin, the online currency that allows people to buy goods and services, and exchange money across borders without involving banks or other third parties. Voorhees, a prominent bitcoin proponent who co-founded a separate bitcoin company, made $15,843.98 in profit from the unregistered offerings, according to the SEC. He neither acknowledged nor denied wrongdoing but agreed to refrain from future violations of securities laws. Under the settlement, Voorhees is repaying the $15,843.98 in profits and paying a $35,000 penalty. In a message to "fellow Bitcoiners" posted on the website Reddit, Voorhees said "With this matter resolved, I look forward to helping to build the bitcoin industry and the future of finance." SatoshiDICE is a gambling site that takes bets and pays out winnings in bitcoins. The Satoshi name comes from Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious figure or group that created bitcoin in 2009. Voorhees and the other co-owners sold the site in July 2013, according to the SEC. FeedZeBirds pays Twitter users a fee in bitcoins in exchange for forwarding sponsored text messages. Separately, the SEC issued an "investor alert" last month warning of the potential risks of investing in bitcoin and other virtual currencies. Investments involving bitcoin may have an increased risk of fraud, and the people behind fraudulent schemes may lure investors by touting bitcoin investment "opportunities" promising unrealistically high returns, the SEC said. The agency said consumers should be wary of potential warning signs, such as guaranteed high returns, unsolicited offers and pressure to buy immediately.

That's actually Finagle's Law. Murphy's law is "If there is a right way and a wrong way of doing something, someone will do it the wrong way." Murphy was an optimist. If it can go wrong it will. that would be me http://www.murphys-laws.com/murphy/murphy-laws.htmlAnything that can go wrong, will—at the worst possible moment. Finagle. I've ran into him too a few times. Not as much as Murphy though. |

well excuse the fuck out of me for letting my voice be heard about the pool.
I wasn't filing a ticket here just venting.
Yep I know if you don't like it there is the door. Wasn't why I posed what I did.
kiss arse much?

Yes I would be at that point and that is the gamble we take when we choose a pool and it's backup.
And I would take the loss since I chose the pool I mine on and the backup.
I understand we get paid "faster" since more power just came online. I get it.. It's a good thing for sure.
Ghash finds blocks multiple times a day and if I wanted a paid every hour I would mine there.
Yet it doesn't seem like our rebuttals is getting thru to anyone.
Because when the pools go back up the power goes back to the other pools and we stay.
But those guys got their equal payout so they don't care while our score means crap and we get less.
Sure it's all about luck. I can play the hopping game here.
Oh look 10% done and already an hour into the block. Guess I'll go mine somewhere else for the next 8 hours
and come back for the last 2 and get paid like I was mining the whole time at slush.
Been there done that... It works quite well actually. Almost like clockwork really.
Right now 3 hrs into the block. I could point my miner to ghash for the next hour, get paid and come back
and collect my payout here as if I never left. Slush might find it in the next hour but the odds says the pool won't.

Looks like Eligius is down, and we are carrying some of their backups, now at 3568178.052 Ghash/s
yea and who else got shafted with a crap payout after mining there for 5 hrs. I really think the scoring system needs to be relooked at. Don't care if the payouts are decent. It's total BS when all of a sudden everyone jumps onto slush with 30 mins left on a block and everyones rewards gets cut by a third. The only thing anti hop about this pool is it actually hurts the miners who mine the entire block and not the actual hoppers. agreed wrong without the additional power it wouldn't take 30 mins ... think about it this way instead of getting same reward for 10h you get half of it for 5h 30 mins is an arbitrary number, swap it with anything you want. The real point is it is fsked up that we can mine for start to end but someone jumps in with 50% or less of the block left and get the same payout as the ones who have been onboard since the start. It's score based not hashing power based or is it? If it's score based than my 10 hours of scoring should weigh more than anyone who mined for less hrs. regardless of hashing power |

What is the address space of your router? The antminer probably needs to be within the range supported by your router, otherwise it may not be routed to due to the firewall/NAT. Check what is the address of your router (192.168.1.1 is common, and that would work with 192.168.1.99 for the Antminer). Check what is the range of addresses that it supports.
Also the IP of the Antminer should not clash with any existing device on your network (that's why the starting choice of .99 is a clever one...). The easy way to resolve this is to 'pre-alocate' an IP address in your router.
If for security you are using a MAC filter in the router, of course you need to add the Antminer mac address to the 'permitted list' if that's how you configured it.
Some lazy people try to use DHCP, without considering the pitfalls. I recommend to stay with fixed IP, so you don't run into issues of DHCP lease expiry.
Cheers
Using DHCP does not make a person lazy. seriously wtf... where is the facepalm emoticon... Maybe it should read lazy people shouldn't own an antminer because it requires some computer know. |
