I dusted off my last remaining Antminer S2 miner that I'm keeping for "historical purposes" and for casual use.

This relic is using cgminer if I remember right...

I want to set it up for solo mining peercoin. I have the ppcoind wallet set up and I can mine just for a few seconds, then it stops. Sometimes it will mine for a few seconds more a few minutes later, sometimes not.

So the miner is communicating with the wallet.

I also tried this with the S5's I have, and I get the same results.

I did notice that when the S2 would mine, the diff would be 499m or so. Really low diff. I'm thinking I'm overloading the wallet or the network connection of something.

Its been ages since I twiddled the virtual knobs in the S2 via ssh, so I'm not all that familiar with where everything is located within the firmware.

Does anyone know if it is possible to set a fixed diff within the firmware? I'd like to put the diff at 1024 and see if that helps. I just do not remember where or what to edit or cgminer commands to add.

Thanks
kano

I've zero idea about that alt-coin or if it's even possible to mine it.
You'll need to ask someone in the alt-coin threads.

I'm sorry for using that "alt-coin" for reference.....

lets just say I'm solo mining bitcoin for hypothetical purposes. Is there a way to specify a difficulty in the CGminer within the S2 firmware? If I can specify a difficulty, would you or anyone else have any clue where to find that in the firmware (what folder...like /etc/config/.....)

Thank you

In CGMiner you can suggest a different difficulty with the "--suggest-diff" command line argument.  Only CKPool software supports it and it is only a suggestion.

Unfortunately the S7 has nothing to do with the official cgminer which this thread is about so you'll have to seek help from bitmain or more likely rely on the community of users of bitmain hardware on other threads.

When you guys did the cgminer update for the S1 and the S3 I thought I recalled that the anonymous donor had given enough coin to update the S5 as well, did that never end up happening?

anonymous? No
I'll probably send back the last BTC someone said was for the S5, one day - I've never done the S5.

It's also got to the point where running an S5 is a total loss so I never have my half dead one on any more.
Bitmain was going to send me another working S5 (mine only has one working board), then they said they'd send me an S7, then neither ever happened.
Now that I have 2 Avalon6s there's nowhere I could even put an S7 - uses too much power and I have 2 A6s taking up the available power without rearranging my place every time I switch something on.
S5s and S7s make WAY too much noise.

Pool takes priority and I certainly haven't had time to spend a day or 2 on anything else for a long time.

Gotcha, thanks for the update/recap.  I will say that those of us that still use S5s are sad you won't have time to redo cgminer for them, but it is completely understandable.  Guess that means I'll have to get an Avalon for my next miner.  Cool

That's just a binary which you're welcome to upload to the S5 and better than bitmain's default one, having fixed a few glaring problems, but there's no comprehensive rewrite of the code like there was for S1-S3 by Kano.

I'd have to search the forums myself for that actually since I don't have them written down anywhere and don't have an S5 any more. You can start by searching for posts on this or the p2pool thread based on the date on the S5 binary there I guess.

use winscp to connect to your S5 (root/admin)
navigate to /usr/bin
rename cgminer to cgminer.480 (always a good idea to keep a backup...)
copy the new cgminer to /usr/bin
set properties to 0755
disconnect

open your S5 web interface
go to miner configuration
clic save and apply (to restart cgminer without changing config)

done

thanks ck I wish i could send you some donations but I'm in a bind this year.
can you add a readme

ssh 192.168.1.x -l root
cd /tmp
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s5/4.9.0-150105/cgminer
chmod +x cgminer

you can even shorten the sequence :p

yes, I did it yesterday, I didn't notice any difference yet.

Note that cgminer reverts to 4.8 if it reboots....

edit, there seems to be a 10C difference in temp (lower with 4.9.0), but that's maybe just because it's early morning and very cold in my non insulated attic where the S5 and 2 S3+ are.
