Well was going to try for 10, but thanks to the lawnmower taking a crap, looks like I'll miss out  Maybe a few will show up some place that I can use paypal at and I'll pick a few up later, if the price is not ridiculously marked up. |

Not sure about using one in the casino, fee's and exchange rate will probably be insane. Last time I was in Vegas, they wanted $5 just for a regular ATM and that was around 10 years ago! |

Well, looks like I might have to make a pit stop at home on Tuesday around 4:00 (local) and get the order in  |

Whoever is sacrificing chickens, dancing around in the rain naked, wearing their hat inside out, growing a beard, or wearing their lucky underwear... KEEP DOING IT.  They seem to still be doing it  Last 5 blocks 224.12% luck Maybe if they double-up on chickens, we can hit 4 or 5 block's today |

I would try a handful of the 4 chip/pod board's also.

I've put an updated AntS3 update archive in my binaries git hub of latest 4.9.2 cgminer. For details and installing: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS3It's an update to the previous AntS3 release I did: 2015-Jul-7 Update cgminer-ants3-4.9.2-94e04f6-2.tgz
---------------------------------------------------
Update the cgminer init.d script to run ntpd a few times trying to set the date
Add more frequencies to the Web Advanced Settings tab
Warning, the higher frequencies marked with a warning can risk damage
Tested and running on my pool of course Thanks for all your work on this and the pool kano. Just one question, will it work on all of the firmware or is it geared toward just the latest 1 or 2 releases? Either way, it's on my to do list. |

Unfortunately I can't even provide a proper comparison build; all the cgminer code outside of the frequency options is the same, so any differences would come from not having the exact same libraries used in the official builds, kludge workarounds for compile errors, etc. Might find out later if there's some egregious difference - if I get around to posting that windows build thread, get some feedback, etc.
Might want to compare against 4.9.2, since that's the codebase used - but I'd be surprised if there's a performance difference between official 4.9.0 and official 4.9.2
The only comparison I have to 4.9.2 is the stock compile on the Pi that didn't enumerate the sticks at all. I'll see about digging up a stock Windows 4.9.2 after I'm done messing with 4.9.0 code on Linux. 4.9.2 upgraded the USB reset for the U3's, (-U3 will USB reset on no shares for 2 seconds instead of 1.), which might be why it's not enumerating the sticks ??. |

I don't use the bitmaintech/cgminer, so not 100% sure. Try to change (for the U3): sudo ./configure --enable-bmscto: sudo ./configure --enable-icaruswhen you compile it. Now I'm more confused then ever.  For bitmain devices is this not the correct code: --enable-bmsc And for other brand device: --enable-icarus Even though the examples I found did not help me all of then make referent to --enable-bmsc Examples: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=103046https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer/blob/master/bitmain-readme.txt#L24I think someone just copied and pasted from setting up a different miner and didn't change it or that was for an older version of the bitmain/cgminer and the examples were never updated.Also, to confuse me more, on windows I use command in bat file: cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:0.57 -o solo.antpool.com:3333 -u USER.ID -p PASSWORD --bmsc-voltage 0800 --bmsc-freq 1286
That leads me to the next question. To run cgminer on my Linux machine, in the command I could replace: sudo ./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:0.57 -o stratum+tcp://solo.antpool.com:3333 -u USER.ID -p PASSWORD --bmsc-voltage 0800 --bmsc-freq 1286 By sudo ./cgminer --icarus-options 115200:0.57 -o stratum+tcp://solo.antpool.com:3333 -u USER.ID -p PASSWORD --icarus-voltage 0800 --icarus-freq 1286 Would this be okay? It's probably going to melt your U3 at -freq 1286 if it even runs with that.
Max is around -freq 250Thank you. I just looked at bitmain/cgminer's readme at https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer/blob/master/ASIC-README and even it says freq 100 to 250. Volts you have to play around with, but I would keep an eye on the power brick if it's the one that came with the U3, it may melt at 800! As for the -icarus-options 115200:0.57 ? , I didn't read that far. |

I run two, no hub.
So I finally got two Antminers U3 to run at once hooked up to intel i5 laptop with windows 7. I did see the same error I was getting on my old xp machine but very seldom. So still doing some tests and now I'm trying to get cgminer to work with Ubuntu (Linuxmint to be specific) so I can report back. I heat a wall once more. I followed the instructions I think they are the correct commands, and have tested on two different systems many variations the the commands. sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl3-dev libudev-dev
git clone https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer
cd cgminer
sudo ./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native"
sudo ./configure --enable-bmsc
sudo make Thanks in advance. I don't use the bitmaintech/cgminer, so not 100% sure. Try to change (for the U3): sudo ./configure --enable-bmscto: sudo ./configure --enable-icaruswhen you compile it. |

Hi ALL, new to the forum.
Been reading up on the different miners and found this discussion. Looks like a good set-up to run 4-6 of them with a Pi 2, if everything falls into place with the chips, testing, manufacturing, ETC...
From the testing and review philipma1957 has done and posted, looks good enough to try 4 or 6 (depending on price) when they start selling.
I already have a R Pi 2 with cgminer 4.9.0 running, only thing I need to find is a GOOD powered USB hub.
Got this page BM to keep an eye on it.
some where some place I link a cheap hub with 10 ports. the hub is 18 bucks at amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Adapter-Charging-Protector-Indicators/dp/B00ELPSEVW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1435541857&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+hub+10+portit has a 3 amp 12 volt brick . If you look at my test thread you see I did do some testing with it. based on all the other sticks I have had . Hundreds (maybe more like 1200) the linked hub should do 4 to 6 of these sticks. If I recall your pi is the 4 port model. so you could grab two of these cheap hubs and get 4 sticks on each total 8. No need to rush. just book mark the threads. Thanks, already booked marked. Yes, the Pi 2 has 4 ports and as long as those hubs don't back feed any current to the Pi they should work, Pi's are picky about that. HMM, 2 hub's for 8, something to think about. |
