I would treat this as an normal network device :

- Remove it from current network.
- put it in an known network you manage yourself ( f.e. your home network )
- check if it takes a IP from the DHCP server
- if it does you know it has DHCP IP enabled, and so you know it will try to ask for an IP in your work's network.
- if it doesn't it is on an fix configured ( or factory default ) IP address. Try to find it.

Remember that 'work' networks look to the device before giving out a IP adress by DHCP !! ( By layer 2 communication : is it an known device ? What kind of device ? Is it allowed by company policy ? ... )

Does someone has an idea why my 3 S3's fallback to about 300 GH/s after a while ?

I just cleaned them ( cooling plates and ventilators ) and even reapplied thermal paste to one of the 3 :
 

Hello,

How to use BFGMiner 542  ( as stratum Proxy for Antminers) for solo mining against local Bitcoin Core in TESTNET mode ?
It is working for the non-testnet but I can't get it running for testnet.
Testnet uses port 18332 in place of 8332
When I start it with ( from the windows CMD command prompt ) :
bfgminer.exe --url http://localhost:18332/ -u me -p password

 [2017-02-26 21:20:44] Press any key to exit, or BFGMiner will try again in 15s.
 [2017-02-26 21:21:00] No servers were found that could be used to get work from.
 [2017-02-26 21:21:00] Please check the details from the list below of the servers you have input
 [2017-02-26 21:21:00] Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or have not setup workers
 [2017-02-26 21:21:00] Pool: 0  URL: http://localhost:18332/  User: me  Password: password
 [2017-02-26 21:21:00] Pool: 1  URL: http://localhost:8332/#getcbaddr#allblocks  User: me  Password: password
 [2017-02-26 21:21:00] Press any key to exit, or BFGMiner will try again in 15s.

It seems it still sees, or tries, to connect on 8332 , altrough I didn't specify this URL at start ( command line )
And the one specified ( 18332 ) can't be found.

I verifyed my ports and 18332/18333 are open ( and 8332/8333 are closed )

Hello,

Does someone has a idea how far you can drive ( voltage and frequence, resulting Watt/miner ) an S1 and a S3 ?
Power (electricity ) is no issue but noise is, so I would like to run then without 'forced' air ( = fans )
Would like to use them as 12 V electric convectors

Hello Luke-jr. Thanks for the answer !
I will find out where port 18332 need to be changed.
But any link to a treat how to change the 'libblkmaker' version ?
(remember , I'm on windows 7 and don't have any 'make' and 'compile' experience ... )
And those Ant S1's are so old, I hope they still can follow ...

Just seems to have below posted in the wrong subforum and it needs tot be here :

Does someone has a idea on this problem :
I'm running a full node Bitcoin Core v0.13.0 (64-bit) with BFGminer 5.4.2-win64 on the same computer.
Starting as : bfgminer.exe --stratum-port=3333

I connect with 2 Antminer S1's to BFGminer ( stratum+tcp://192.168.0.xxx:3333 )

All seems working fine for the real Bitcoin network but NOT (no longer) for the testnet.
Alltrough it worked fine before and only Testnet=1 needs tot be changed in the Bitcoin.conf

BFGminer keeps complaining :
Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid.
No servers were found that could be used to get work from

If I remove Testnet=1 from the Bitcoin.conf and start again, no longer complains.


Would this has to do something with the 'versionbit 28' in use for the moment on the testnet ?
And if so, what can I do about it ?

Thanks for all reply's !
Kind regards.
