I did the update, and although I do like the additional info in the Miner Status screen, I'm not sure that I am getting an improvement.
At stock frequency (225 on the s3+) I still get standard 440 ish hash rate. At 250, I get 480 - 490. I am on F2Pool, and these numbers are from the GH/s paid column of stats.
Running at 250, I get a temp of 40 (max). Perhaps I should go for a higher frequency and take it up to about 50 degrees. Thoughts?
I'm the only one who shows 'Paid' anywhere in bitcoin as far as I know  It's something I made up/added to miner.php a while back and then I've added to various ants. It's the "Accepted" hash rate - thus why I call it "Paid" It excludes "Rejected" and "Stale" hash rate so it will be lower than the avg hash rate. Since pools only pay you based on your accepted shares, that's the number that is most useful to work out how your miner is performing. To calculate it it's: "Difficulty Accepted" * (2^32) / "Elapsed"On 1 Day 22 Hours running 225 at 0720 Voltage (Although not sure even though it says it is running at 0720 on the Status GUI that it accepted the change hardware side). Im getting 450 gh Paid on the dot. HW errors at 0.24% Temps are 43 and 44. Room is not ideal temp however, around 76F Kano, is the best way to find out if the voltage was accepted is to use a Kill-A-Watt meter and compare to another unit. Is tuning to 0720 more effecient than Bitmain default? I tuned it to 262.50 at 0720. Got Xs so went back. Thanks! Strato Try bumping the voltage to 0725 with the 225 frequency. With a S3+ I'm on 4 days 20 hrs with 454 gh/avg with .0003% HW errors at 225 freq and 0725 volt, but also staying between 37-39C with a 40C thrown in every now and then. If you set 262.5, you should have started at 0750 voltage with all 4 power cables plugged in and then played with lowering/raising volts. |

and to be against the power of the core developer team the solution is to give the power to only one developer  Ok.. yeah..  One can be right amongst a crowd, let alone a "team" of five, but that is besides the point (and the choice offered by slush). That debate, though, belongs to another thread. The vote offered by slush is an inspired one on many levels, given that there are options available to the one peddled by the "majority core dev team" (and known to the entire bitcoin world). By the looks of it, more hashes than not seem to agree with the "minority of 2" in the bitcoin core developement "team" (pool rate is now past 17PH and growing ..... not to mention improving luck!). Is there a break down some place on the pool as to where that increased hash is pointing to? Like 10PH voting yes, 7PH voting no? |

Sounds like a fun idea.
However, right now, a separate setup to run just 1 stick and another setup to run 4 sticks (got 5 sticks coming), is not in the budget.
Unless there is a way to separate out 1 stick to point at it, and have the other 4 sticks running at the same time, on the same Pi?

How often did they get stuck before you cut the wire?
That's the problem with the U3's, no rhyme, no reason, no set time. Just when they decide to zombie they zombie. Got 3 that I cut the red wire in the USB cable on (the cheap cables that they come with), 3 without cutting the wire (good cables), on the same PSU, and same USB hub. Just to make it even, I rebooted the Pi around 8:30 this morning, and started over to see which ones stop first. Already had 1 of each loose connection, but they re-connected by their self (which is good). So I'm not touching it any more until I get a zombie or the Pi stops. The first one I cut went ~ 31 - 32 hours and hashed steady. Well, it's not the USB power causing the zombie, had 2 zombie after about 35 hours with the 5V wire cut (about 5 min apart) and had to do the power cycle to get them to come back. So back to the drawing board. Ok, but this time around, I suppose you didn't have to unplug the USB cable, right? That was the first thing I tried, it didn't work, so just shut everything down, switched back to the good cables, and powered back on. |

Update: about 8 hours and still hashing with the red wire cut. So going to let it run. Keeping fingers crossed that it keeps on without a reset from cgminer or zombie out. Seen to many posts that say try this it works, only for them to come back a day or 2 later to say it zombies out again. Well I've tried every other suggestion in messing around with mine, I might just have to try the "no USB power mod" and see what my results are. Seems like doing the same thing to different U3s can yield different results.Yeah, I been trying most of them and not getting the results mentioned in posts. That's why I'm kind of waiting for someone to say they cut the red wire and it wouldn't hash. About 19 1/2 hrs and still going. So I think I'll cut another one of the cheap cables and see if another one will work. |

the CP2012 requires the 5V off the usb side, cutting the power will shutdown the chip, acting as if you pull the usb cable.
with mine that is OC'ed to 250MHz and pulling 0.8V, at the wall from my Platinum rated PSU, im pulling about 65-70W, right now i have the PSU connected to a atom based motherboard, running Spinrite on a laptop HDD, its pulling 90W.
i was wondering about the heatsink/stand for the base, has anyone modified these, strapped an extra fan to them? larger sink? im thinking of getting an old 100W videocards heatsink and bolting it to the board, i just need to drill mounting points into the heatsink..
none the less, pushing the power up (via cgminer) a little should stop it from be unstable, mine has been running non-stop for 9 days since i plugged the PSU into a motherboard. if not, Cron job to reset cgminer? iirc cgminer has a reset usb option, so if something goes zombie it resets it..
Well, you posted that about the 5V after I went to do something else, and I figured what the hell, cut the red wire on 1 (not the good cable). That 1 has been hashing away for about 1hr now, with the red wire cut. I think that may be the problem with the U3's, they got the CP2012 trying to pull 5V off USB and pulling 5V from the board. Some kind of power overload of the CP2012?? Going to let it run till morning and see if it's still going. If it's still going and hashing happy, will let it go till it stops. Ha, sorry! the CP2012's are finicky little things, i bought myself a few extras to replace blown ones (they don't like being in the middle of 2 earth levels.) so i would not be surprised that it is the 2 voltages making it spit the dummy. oh well, if it works perfectly, i know what im doing  Update: about 8 hours and still hashing with the red wire cut. So going to let it run. Keeping fingers crossed that it keeps on without a reset from cgminer or zombie out.

Tnx. From what I understood so far, both USB and power need to be restarted, right? Which means the power input from the USB is somehow connected to the power plug. So I was thinking cutting off USB power permanently, and have it supplied just through regular power plug. Or is it just USB power that needs to be restarted? Basically, the question is - do I need one relay or two?
I've only ever unplugged the usb cable when they zombie. Only time I've unplugged the power, was when moving the cables and miners while tidying up some. As for cutting the usb power in the cable permanently? Looks like a good experiment for the cheap cables that ship with them. |

2FA is another step (yeah, takes a few seconds longer), but I look at it like this, I rather have payouts going to MY wallet, instead of finding out someone guessed/cracked my password and changed the payout to go to their wallet.
Lets face it, how many people check their payout address every time they log in?? I would guess not many.
Only problem I've had with 2FA, is trying it on my phone by entering the key. Don't know if it's because it's hacked into a pay as you go phone or if I wrote the key down wrong. I figure when 2FA goes live, I'll just do the qrcode with both the phone and tablet before testing. That way if it is because the phone is hacked that it doesn't work, it will still be on the tablet.

After trying the 2FA out and thought I had it messed up trying to change the payout address and getting invalid code message (was using the password and the 2FA code).
So disabled 2FA, then re-enabled it and tried again to change payout, but this time I just used the code without the password and got the payout address changed message and email about the change (but still showing the old address on the pool).
Set up on android tablet was just downloading FreeOTP Authenticator, then just hit the qrcode symbol on the top off the app and scanning the qrcode (it adds all the info, then just hit the kano icon and get the 6 digit code (as easy as can be).
BEFORE TESTING WRITE YOUR SECRET KEY DOWN FIRST, after you test the key is not displayed any-more (and haven't checked the app out enough to see if there is a way to get out of it or not).
Will check it out some more tomorrow, but so far it works, off to bed for now.

I'm on port 3334 (fixed diff 512)
Its looking a lot more stable at my end.
Would be good to see if Jake36 can get his miners to settle at the lower diff settings.
Do you know what iceCold is running so we can compare.
Just came in from doing yard work, so I'll switch one set-up over now and give the 512 fixed rate a try and see how it does. |

Hi How many users are registered? Whats the deal with the 0% fee account for the first 50 users? I thought I would send you a few GH to test things out. Dash looks good and easy setup, so far so good. itsnogood I sent some GH over to try and help. Layout does look good, but there seems to be a bug in the variable diff. The diff changes to way to high, starts out OK, but jumps up to about ~4180 diff (with only 300GH), so end up with 3 - 4 minutes in-between share submits, which causes the diff to drop to double digits, then jumps it's way back up to about ~4180 again, repeats over and over. Probably had 40-50 changes in about 2 hours before I stopped. Also, as was mentioned earlier about the 120 confirmations, it's still on the pool stats page, that pay-out is still at 120 confirmations. |
