If my poor little S3 is the last thing on earth missing, I'd be proud to take part Smiley

You could add me just for the fun of it Cheesy

Cheers,

I currently have 2131 "Bad work" entries after 10h 18m of operation, only 474 accepted and 7 rejected...

Is that supposed to be normal???

The other pool the device is working to has no Bad work entry at all and 9664 accepted.

What is wrong?

Thanks.

Hey there,

New to the pool so I'm not sure why this is happening, but I'm getting a lot of "Bad work" entries... around 170 in 40 minutes and only 42 accepted, while 0 rejected.
For experimenting, I have pointed an S3 to this pool with another in balance. The other had 590 accepted in those 40 minutes, while this only 42.

Why is that?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Hmm. I just read somewhere, that with today's numbers, around 2830TH/s is needed to mine 1 BTC/day. This would mean that with 100TH/s, we can mine 1 BTC every 28-29 days. Am I on the right track?

Just updated my post to include that... I have a single S3 for now, just experimenting Smiley
If it looks promising, I'll be investing in more.

Hi there,

Is there a minimum hashrate to join?
We're not in the same league (I currently have a single S3), but it would be fun to join.

Thanks.

430 accepted and 29 rejected in 26 min... how does that rate?

You need to let your miner build up you always get rejected when connecting to the pool its normal watch it for 24 hrs let the miner do its work with the pool.

Here is a status for one I restarted.

Elapsed   GH/S(paid)   GH/S(5s)   GH/S(5m)   GH/S(15m)   GH/S(avg)   FoundBlocks   HW   HW%   Utility   WU   BestShare
                                 
14h 40m 14s

Accepted   Rejected   Stale
                                          
13,679
   
26

0


Seems to give the same results is I multiply numbers up... so it must be OK Cheesy

Thanks a lot for the help!

Cheers.

Sorry for the newbie questions Sad

Did you do the commands

Code:
cgset
sync
reboot

You should also power cycle the device unplug it for a moment then power it back up.

I did... it slowly seems to normalize, but the acceptance rate still seems slow (although I have no mean to really compare).

I'll let it run for a while and see.

BTW, is it possible to mine to both de.ckpool.org and solo.ckpool.org at the same time in load balancing or this makes no sense?

Cheers.

Hello All,

I'm new here. I just started to solo mine here today.

If you have any recommendations for me on how to make the most out of it, I'd be grateful.

For now, I only have an old Antminer S3. Does it make any sense?

Is a high number of "Discarded" normal?


Cheers.



I had high rejected on my s3's so I updated the s3 to the kano firmware and the ratio did drop it also sorted out the high load issue too.

You can find the updated s3 firmware for kano update here if you know how to ssh into the device it is very easy to install just copy and paste in the commands.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.msg21422964#msg21422964

https://bitbucket.org/TheKano/cgminer-binaries/src/f5884bfece7a8dfd48550cb172272212459be51c/AntS3/?at=master

Follow the guide you should have no problems.

You will always get some rejected shares even after the update but the load should be lower and it updates the gui with more relevent status.


Hi,

Thanks for the advice.

I updated the firmware... there's less rejected for sure, but the speed has gone way down too... or I don't know what's happening, but the miner seems to stall after a few minutes and the GH/s value drops (currently 1.613).

What did I do wrong? How do I go back? Cheesy

Cheers.
