[Setup & Troubleshoot] Bitmain AntMiner S1 180GH/S miner

[chek2fire]

Hello. I have setup my antminer and i have successfully enable and wifi. The problem is that i cant connect to the setup of antminer through wifi but only through ethernet. I have see that antminer with wifi  has the ip 192.168.1.9/24 but i cant connect it because my broswer stuck to a reload for ever.
I have see that antminer has and a firewall. Is there an option that i have to disable?

Anyone is running overclocked at 205 GH/S ?

Yup, 1% error at 205-215gh/s

Nice, I didn't know it can reach 215.

Additional fans ? Anything special ?

It has exceptionally low error rate. Don't know why, just a good egg. Even before a second fan and heat sinks it was hashing at 205-210. I now have a second fan and heatsinks and may just clock it up to 400mhz since it has such low error rate.

Question!

I have an internet facing IP Address on my ANT, and couple days I have a string of "Bad Password Attempts" from a Chinese IP. Is there anyway to block this IP from my device? I have to restart the ANT every 40 hours or so because it thinks it's being DDOS'd

Yeah just go into the firewall and add a deny rule for all traffic from that IP.

What heat sink and fan do you use ?

Thx.

Thermaltake 70cfm for rear fan and some rather large heatsinks for the vregs. But it performed like that before the mods.

Thanks, I was looking for that option, must have overlooked it.

That means that you missed a few commands.  I made a sure-fire way to get it done every time.  Try this:

Code:

cd /usr/bin/
wget http://kano-kun.net/AntS1/cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c
chmod +x cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c
mv cgminer cgminer.original
rm cgminer
ln -s cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c cgminer
reboot

My newly arrived S1 refused to mine. I checked from the web setup that I can ping my pool from the miner, so my IP connectivity is good.

I then did some research and came across this thread. I used the procedure to update cgminer and now I get this when checking the version:

Code:

root@antMiner:~# cgminer -V
-ash: cgminer: not found

This has me very worried! I'm not very good with Linux and I need to get this fixed so that I can get to mining.

Any and all help is appreciated!

OK I got brave and fixed it myself!

When I did an ls I saw that cgminer was there but it was not marked as executable. it seems that the "ln -s" command did not copy over the executable attribute. I removed the cgminer that was there and then used "cp" and I can now see that the version has changed to 4.3.2a

However, my miner is still not mining. :-(

When I check the list of processes I don't see cgminer in there anywhere, that seems to be a reasonable answer to the problem, but not sure how to fix that!

99% chance you're trying to attach a female antenna to a female connector.  You're going to need to either fashion your own pin to bridge the gap, get a male antenna, or switch out the S1 connector for male.

Sailing_Nut, try to start process manualy:

Code:

/etc/init.d/cgminer start

Thanks for that!

I did some more poking around and rebooted. I then saw that cgminer is running happily in the processes list, but after some time it disappears from the list

is it maybe not able to talk to the ASICs? All of the cables appear to be attached properly and I'm using a Corsair CX600 PSU so it should have enough heft to run it.

I'm REALLY confused!

Do you have configured more than one pool ? Maybe it is unable to talk with pool and then process stops. But it will restart every 3 minutes.
Try to setup failover pools and then you will see if cgminer walk to another pool and hashes there. You can see this in Miner status under LSTime.

The 600W should be fine even for "normal" OC-ing.

try with another psu. Someone told me thath with a same psu he cant get antminer begin to mining.

With my antminer i use a female antenna with the female antminer wifi without an problem. I can see my local network and i mining with that with wifi.

Anyone know how to fix this problem and what i have to change in antminer's firewall settings? I like to access antminer interface through wifi but i can see it only through ethernet./

It works fine on another pool. I'd love to stay where I am but maybe it's time to switch.

What pool would people suggest?

Stupid me! I did not prefix my worker name with my user name!

I had:

WorkerName

But I needed

UserName_WorkerName
