if you don't get a new control board i'll take the blades off you and try get a different controller working with it. IF I get a dead s1 to butcher then i'd be happy to investigate and share the mod/hack if successful

why would it need to support openwrt? Linux, windows in fact anything that runs cgminer (or bfgminer?) would work as long as they detect as usb/serial devices.

my assumption is the large ribbon cables are simply usb and the smaller one is power and usb interface for control board.

agree, I did a trace route but want to give the OP a chance to give details

an issue with the developer apparently not starting the contracts. They are still at ~3am in the uk so we'll probably not hear back for a few hours.
Not a great start but i'm willing, for now, to give them the benefit of the doubt and be patient. I hope to see a payment some time today (AEST).

from what I can see in logs etc, the cables to the boards are USB spec. I imagine if you had the pinout and that cgminer supports the s1 hardware, that you should be able to theoretically run the boards as usb devices off whatever controller you want.
I'd be interested in investigating this, I have one s1 and another 2 on the way. one controller for 6 boards (such as a RasPi) could be cool.

are we able to update the cgminer on the s1 or is it best to leave with the older build?

And this little piggy went hashing

you should provide the location. miners need a local node so telling where this is may help

awesome work, I can verify that this does indeed donate back to miners having both used it to donate and seeing donations paid to me as a miner from it.

This is a great service and if you can spare a few mBTC's then please help support the network.

by using p2pool that is distributed!

I was fortunate enough to win the 1Th/s contract. Just waiting for payments to start then I'll post them here.

I have added to my sig and went to update my front end but my dreamweaver trial has expired lol will need to manually ftp in and add it.

I read that you can't have the wifi and wan IP in the same subnet.

Thanks for that, we spotted that and have been talking about it. I made a donation myself using that tool. I've also included it in my sig below well done.

the one on the ant should e more accurate since it's displaying the cgminer stats. if you look on my node you will see the rate of an s1 with the updated cgminer and running on a local network to the node.

www.norgzpool.net.au/graphs (the s1 is mining on the 1minerxxxx address

EDIT: the s1 is clocked at 393 so hashing at just over 200gh/s and the spike you see in the middle was some rented hashing. if you look at last hour it averages at 215gh/s with around 11gh/s stale/rejected

I'll let you know how I go with my 1Th/s contract.

I see (especially with Gen-y) a lot of americaniz(s)ations happening. Just because someone is living in the UK doesn't mean they grew up there nor does it mean they were even taught proper English.

I'm just saying, lets be cautious but let's not completely write them off yet. I think their website is pretty sketchy in regards to the logins and some of the product pages which makes me feel uneasy but I'm not going to publicly write them off on some conspiracy that their website has issues so they are definitely a scam.

I'm lucky enough to be able to try these guys out without having to spend anything so let me get some payments from them and suss out how it all works and I can report back some facts about the cloud mining offerings at least. Lets give time for (sorry don't recall the username right now) our gracious volunteer to go suss them out in person when he has the time and see what comes back from that.

IF the cloud mining stuff falls through AND our friend doesn't get to meet them in person and see the hardware working THEN we may start to consider these guys dodgy. Only FACT can prove either way right?

p.s. thanks for sharing my profile stats lol I've not been in this for long but I've been able to work a few things out and contribute some things back. You can write my opinion off if you like based upon that and that's entirely up to you. either way there is nothing I can do about it because you will think what you want to think.

ok, here is a novel idea that should prove once and for all if Minertechnologies is legit.

1. Let them show the products off at expo's and to individuals.
2. Listen to those third parties and hear what they have seen and what proof they have been able to gather.
3. If someone wants to risk an order, let them, then ask if the hardware was delivered on time and if it works to spec.

If none of the above eventuates then we can assume scam, otherwise this company would have proven themselves to be legit and reliable.

I get that there are a lot of scams but there are also companies and individuals trying to do something legitimately. Of those people there are varying levels of comprehension of the English language, marketing and PR.
I think it's a little counter productive to write off a company or individual BEFORE they have given any reason to have lost any trust in them. By all means if they actually do something (or not do something as it may be) to lose trust then it is warranted.

I for one am watching this closely and choose to wait for the facts to emerge then to throw wild accusations around.
Having just won a 12 month cloud mining contract I will be able to verify that at least they are paying out as they promised so I will post my payouts as they come. I can't help with hardware but it seems there are some who are able to visit and verify the existence of hardware to be supplied.

So lets proceed with caution and healthy scepticism and see how this eventuates.

new bfgminer is now in multiminer, it should prompt you.

FYI - how do I tell a coin to use a specific miner. specifically minerd.exe

Nice work! *turns on 1% perk donation*
