Have 2 S3+'s and one of them is making a clicking noise. Also on the inside of the miner just behind the exhaust fan a red light is on. I think it's on its way out.
Clicking could be something even slightly brushing against a fan blade. Probably worth opening the case up and taking a look (while it is off). |

I don't believe any form of time ban (including perma) will show even in modlog. There you'll only see nukes and autobans. |

I think this is open for debate, however some may argue that his "blacklist" was something that would have harmed Bitcoin and as a result his work should not be trusted.
All miners use at least a portion of his code, so that's not really possible. We implicitly trust him, like we implicitly trust Theymos by using the forum. |

TECSHARE appears green to me with a score of 124 in the green. What I don't understand is this:   Why is Luke-Jr sitting at a -1 and cooldgamer sitting at "? ? ?". Cooldgamer is in my trust list and not default trust, would this have a potential effect? [According to his particular trust list:] The consensus on that situation is that Luke is considered untrustworthy with -1/+1. he has no sigifnicaint history and recent evidence of things going wrong, and hence is red with a warning. With cooldgamer the system can't implicitly determine if he is a scammer or not, due to his established positive history, hence  = go read the trust ratings. |

Obviously the good people at Spondoolies would be the best bet to get matching original hardware, but I have no doubts there are others who could make that connection for you.
If you're willing to pay for it then you can buy all their PSUs off the shelf from [specialist] retailers. Exact model numbers are in their respective guides, although I'm unsure if the two variants of SP31 PSU are the same as the two variants in SP30s. SP35 had no variant but a different 1600W. Be warned though, they are crazy expensive due to their compact package, and part of the reason SP3Xs were such good value /expensive for ST to manufacture. When they are / were no longer viable for mining, you had $400-$600 worth of PSUs to resell. Is it possible for an SP3x to run using a single supply (ie: at 2500-3000GH it should be safe to run on a 1250W)? You'll have to try to see. Each hashing board is powered independently so it depends in the firmware will flip out that it can't talk to its daughter board, or whether it'll just go with it. It won't care about only 1 hashing board too much though, and you can always disable it manually. |

I didn't link, it will depend on your local region but I know I can get these PSUs in the UK at least. These PSUs will still be under warranty with the manufacturer if they'll accept direct RMAs and Spondoolies won't help, but it may be some time to turn them around. |

What is your opinion about re-adding *negative* trust feedback so that user's m trust rating show as ????
It is only a matter of time before this is exploited regularly. This is also a good reason to start logging trust rating changes. Regardless of this particular situation, I do think trust ratings should be logged. Because they sit behind a login screen its hard to get a neutral archiver to record something, so someone could delete a rating and go "what rating". It'd be hard to prove to a court that that rating did exist without a neutral archive or server log. |

Also isn't 80PLUS Bronze rating kinda terrible?
It's not great, but I wouldn't say terrible. From jonnyguru: "The XFX Pro 850W is 83%, 85% and 82%, which puts it at 80 Plus Bronze." A gold would be, at most, +5% efficiency. The domestic ratings are pretty crummy. There are plenty of industrial PSUs which give us 92-94% which is the main comparison. |

But weird thing... I don't see the S3 in my router DHCP client list... anyone knows why?
I've had many routers in the last few years and they've all shown up Antminer devices. Is the gateway IP correct? Is there any chance to find a cheap S3 controller board around ?
Or the best solution to replace one ?
Thanks
Call Bitmain Support, I believe they will replace a board for $25. Or bitmain.zendesk.com. |

Yeah I swapped the PSUs out to working miners which are on different breakers and diagnosed the same result. What alerted me to the issue was an internet outage. All the miners slowed and got cold, then when then internet returned, I noticed a couple of miners not come up to speed. When I got to site and checked it out I found that the PSUs were showing a red LED. I tried the PSUs in other miners and found it didn't change. I am pretty confident they have died a death.  You may be able to use the PSUs in my sig as replacements, they use large gauge 12V right to the hashing boards, right? No, they use gold finger interface on the PSU to custom mother/daughter boards, then a plate to bridge terminals to the hashing boards. No cables, very custom. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=901600#post_section1 |

Where are you pulling the data for that from? Combination of Blocktrail.com and my own parser (second opinion / catching any strays, recording some additional info - e.g. the block size vote indicators as of late) Can you publish it online (Azure free tier?) and change Y axis to PH/s estimation ? If I get the data I'll see if there is a way to represent it even better, I feel like a data day. |

Impressive growth to BitFury pool in the last week
In a graph-y graph - click for large, but basically the crimson river going up up up is them:  Where are you pulling the data for that from? |

Why exactly 8 MB? Should Bitcoin really be dictated by archaic and irrational Chinese superstition? Or is there more substance to this number?
Yes, yes it should, because 8MB is an arbitrary number just like 20MB. And just like 20MB, no one is predicting 8MB to be consumed any time soon and definitely not so quick that another consensus could not be reached to increase it. Other arbitrary bitcoin stuff: A block targeted every 10 minutes, block reward halved every 4 years, 50btc block reward yada yada yada. None of these things are set in stone, based on anything in particular or vitally important. |

Just ordered 20 antminer s5 and two of them are dead when i plug them on
The second one looks like an unhappy board (try on different PSU, then swap its port on a controller to see if we can coax life into it) but the first one looks like an unhappy controller/PSU. That is evidence by BOTH boards being unstable (very unlikely naturally) and that the fan is going at 3k without any temp indication. You can try connecting the hashing boards on another controller if you lay 2x S5s on their sides and get the cables to reach. do you think the boards are ok only the controler is fuckd up? I will test this tomorow morning. Just tested and... no answer they are still death i had put a good controler from an older command but the same. In this morning i more had failed. I saw the images you sent to support. What PSUs are you using, and can you try a more stable pool than betarigs.com please? |

So I really have to change their IP's? I cant just set them up individually and connect 2 or more that have the default 192.168.1.99 - have them mine but not be able to access them from a computer? Please confirm that I MUST change the IP's if I connect 2 or more. I think your "yes" above says I absolutely need to change IP's but just confirming if its best but optional - or absolutely necessary
Yes you should change them to prevent conflicting IPs, bad things are likely to happen if you don't. Both the miners mining may be just temporary, as is your ability to control them/ So please bear with me - I am not really computer literate - just learning - hence what are probably basic questions here. I have read how to change to DHCP - yes I reckon I can do this. Then though I understand the IP's will float - how do I find them to connect to the S3's to adjust miner settings etc?
Navigate to your router, find the "DHCP table" or "Client list". It will show all the devices currently managed, including your S3s as well as the IP assigned to them. Then you just whack that IP into a browser like you would have for 192.168.1.99. How do I "pin" them to the individual S3's?
In the same place you find the DHCP table, there is probably the option to click on one of the devices to get more settings. There will be something like "reserve IP" or "use the same IP". |

There is 2 methods of controlling fans which is why you're getting confused.
1) The first is by variable voltage, where instead of a constant 12V being fed, somewhere between 5-12V is fed. This slows down the fan.
2) More powerful fans will use a constant 12V but with a PWM signal. This signal determines how quickly the motor should flash on or off. So if you want the fan to run at ~half speed, the PWM signal tells the motor to be off for ~50% of the time. That signal usually determines the off part of the cycle, and so a lack of any signal means 100% on (full speed).

Sadly this also feels like another nail in the coffin for decentralization. Of the pools that grew too big in the past, only Eleuthria handled the situation properly. Consider that before you move your miners to the biggest pool and assume that decentralization isn't important for bitcoin. All miners and pool operators have a responsibility to keep mining from getting too centralized.
If anyone is interested in starting their own substantial pool, the open sourced AntPool code base should do a pretty good job of that. Unfortunately getting set up is such a small hurdle compared to actually running a pool that only a handful of people could actually run one properly. I might give kano's pool a try. Does it have good uptime?
I started a side project of tracking all the major pools and they all managed ~99.95%+ so its a safe bet most will work. There may be temporary blips which kicks people off due to DDOS mitigation etc but all in all performance is good and equal. |

Yes you should vote for the plan, it matters. If you go read the proposal you will see a listing of estimated recoveries they expect to get that total several million dollars on top of the cash they have on hand right now. The company had a 3 million dollar insurance policy for example. They are also in the process of suing Cypherdoc to recover 3000 BTC plus a few other things.
I just found out about this and it blew me away. When the crap hit the fan and hashfast refused to make good on their promises to early customers I'd down-rated cypherdoc-- after all, he traded on his reputation to convince others to buy and when it didn't go as he presented if his reputation didn't take a hit, what good is reputation as a signal? Subsequently he convinced me that in spite of his paid shilling he was mostly just another victim of this mess and convinced me to remove the rating; the shilling was crappy, but everyone makes mistakes and his "losses" in hashfast surely were enough punishment. Today I read that litigation and discovered that he actually received 3000 BTC for his shilling services plus other considerations (and even a refund on an order), and walked with it while so many of the rest of us got squat. What the ?!?! So much for just another victim! I've gone and restored my negative rating, damn. Can you find us an excerpt or passage discussing this? I had a look but there are 100s of pages it could be hiding in. |
