HOW TO CHANGE DIFFUCULTY OF ANT MINER S5

[BTC_ISTANBUL]

Dear friends I own two S5.They work at Antpool.However they do not perform the same.

nevinne.1     1.20 TH/s   1.37 TH/s   1.29 TH/s   1.13 TH/s   1081344   2048   0   40960   PPLNS   4096

nevinne.2     1.47 TH/s   972.46 GH/s   1.10 TH/s   1.15 TH/s   923648   0   0   0   PPLNS   2048


I assume the difference is due to the 'diffuculty' .Would any one tell me the optical diffuculty level for S5 and how to set (change) the diffuculty level.

Why all caps?

[BTC_ISTANBUL]

Because it is a head line.

My little screamer, find first the Edit button .
After that I will perhaps  answer to  your question

I do not care.If some body cares and help I really appreciate, if not it is ok too. Nobody has an obligation to help another.

But no one can tell me what to do or not.

I believe antpool is picking the "best" difficulty.   As you mine the pool changes depending on how your miner is doing.

I have used this standard where it auto picks difficulty without any problems with antpool.

[BTC_ISTANBUL]

I thank you very much for your explanation.

[VirosaGITS]

I thank you very much for your explanation.

Its not the difficulty. That only affect accepted rate and hash swings on pool side. They can take a long time to average out regardless. If you really have a 20gh difference it can be for many reasons. If its really a big deal to you, post a screenshot of both miner status.

Also i'd say try another pool, like https://www.kano.is/index.php

The Chinese have enough hashrate as it is

[BTC_ISTANBUL]

As a matter of fact I do not care about 20 GH difference. I want to learn to control parameters related to miners as much as possible.I want to learn.

At my daily job we own a case book (where all the cases we faced is recorded) and detailed control book where service people and user controls are recorded.

I have searhed how to change diffuculty from Bitmain's web site and Dogie's explanations.However I could not find so I decided to open the topic.notlist3d informed me that it may be controlled automatically by the pool.I will observe and if I see a change at diffuculty I will send you a feed back and share my experiences.

Its mostly pool sided.

For Nicehash you would use d=1024 as password for example. d=1536 would work probably, any lower would prolly get overidden to 2048. 4096 isint bad but personally i would use lower. Again, not that it really matter payout wise.

For Kanopool you would cap at 1042 anyways but you're allowed to set difficulty in your worker settings poolside. Even though at that speed it would probably get set to 1042 anyways.

Get off your high horse, it is not about somebody telling you what to do.
All caps is considered rude, and not many fancy helping rude people.

you can try as a password but it won't work on the antpool it adjust it self .


but the way you can try it use the password like this is still works on sites that allow it ant pool doesn't

d=1042

or
d=1024
or

d=2048

etc as your password

If your S5 connected to the same rooter has different diffuculty level, it is because of your port settings.One is 8888 and other 9999. Change it and your problem will be solved.

Pls. change the ports and run your miners for half an hour.You will be aware of the difference.You can use this method also for S5 miners hashing below 1000.

cool I'm gonna give this a shot for the drop in S5 speeds or some times below 1000 . . I honestly didn't think of it  ty .

[zagamon]

Zagamon, it is none of your bussiness and I think your IQ is below room temperature.

In such a cranky mood... Oh... Did your donkey cheat on you? I am so sorry 
Because my IQ is so low, I did not relies I was addressing a delusional rural ape with Napoleon complex, I will from now on though, forgive my "slowness" oh great one.

If you mean the 5 second speed, its normal to vary a lot. Its not normal for an S5 at stock clock to drop under 1000 overall however, even if its 4k dif.

it took me a few hours but I got them all on one port thu a proxy the Diff does sty the same so far can't really tell on hash yet or haven't looked other then at the miners  ui on  my S5's .from what i can tell the hash is more sable. I have them all running thu a Proxy PI on port 8888 . gonna test that a few days . Like this

My problem has been solved by changing the port.Thanks.

Cheers, i still recommend trying other pools for better payout and keeping BTC decentralized! (Antminer keep all of the transaction fee which is quite a bit)

[BTC_ISTANBUL]

I have overcome my problem by changing the port settings.As far as I know Bitmain pools are giving the highest (reward).My third pool is Slush's pool.It is not convenient to talk about pool profitability under this topic, but I would very much appreciate if there is a more profitable pool.
