Bitmain S4 running 3 pools in balanced mode

[lovenlifelarge]

Ok so i have a problem...

My miner is telling me i found a block but i'm running 3 pools in balanced mode so i dont know what pool i hit the block on.

Is there anyway i can find out if what pool i hit the block on??

Like any logs hidden in the miner?

I'm not sure what was happening but i was messing around with cgminer in ssh & think the blocks it found were either stale or orphaned, Not too sure what caused it but i actually broke the software on the sd card & had to fully reinstall it on both a C1 & an S4

Which pools are you connected to? Is it a Prop pool? if so you can check your statistics in there. Also F2pool can tell you also if you found a block.

I was solo mining Ck's pool with F2pool & Nicehash... All at the same time.. in balance mode..

I did look thru my site stats & nothing was there...

I did look thru my miner stats & i was getting a lot of stales & a lot of orphans on all pools..

It ended up at one stage my miner was telling me i had popped 13 blocks in about 2 hours...

When i powered down my miner & powered up again, My miner wouldn't hash & i had to re install my sd card to get it to work again..

Bitmain has said in the past if u fuck around with cg miner in ssh u can break ur miner...

My experiment taught me a few things thou...

If u balance or load balance an Antminer C1 or S4 thru SSH in wont save on reboot & if u try save in thru cgminer, Things will get wacky..

Also when u load balance or balance the SSH the miner never reaches its full speed

Example = S4 = 2TH when split across 3 pools in either balance mode the max u get is about 400gh on either pool at the same time meaning ur shorting ur self about 800gh doing this.

A better thing to do is to rotate across 3 pools at 20 min intervals, Make sure u solo mine 1 pool, & whatever other pools u use pay out on Pay per share not any other method to maximise ur payments.

To do rotate SSH into miner & then :

screen -r

to get cgminer then P for pool management

then change from failover to rotate (2) for (20 mins)

This will not save on restart, I'm still waiting for someone to help me with that..
