[Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain AntMiner S1 Setup [HD]

[dogie]

Whats the refund policy for a unit which has malfunctioned day two? Does Sushi honour or do we go to Antminer? Had 3 Xs most of the day reset Ant as stated on the troubleshooting guide by Dogie and now powers up can get into the miner via browser but no miner status everything else is as it should be just no flashing lights on chip boards all other lights come on no no clicking just ZERO hashes! of deerey deerey me. PM'd Sushi but as others have been waiting with several more miners with hosting issues and not had a response I doubt I will get one. So wondering where to turn to now does Bitmain honour warranties anyone had any experience of this and returns with them?

got two at same time other works fine same settings apart from IP of course.

Thanks

You'd get a bitmain warranty, but via Sushi. What you're describing could also be power problems.

sorry if i missed it, but......
i can set 3 pools for fail-safe.  can i make it switch between pools? like if i set 2 pools & wanted it to do so many hours @0 & so many hours @1
or am i just gonna have to manually switch it around?

Great guide!  I like how every one has links at the top to all the other - I just find any Dogie's Guide and then click the link for the one I want.

Just a note: my new S1 arrived today, and setup is super easy now.  Plug in two PCI-E connectors and the Ethernet cable, turn on the PSU and it booted up and immediately started mining on the Bitmain default pool.  I just had to go into pool settings to set up my pools.  The only step that you might consider adding to the guide is to go into System -> Administration and change the Router Password from the default password of "root".  Just for extra safety.

As a noob, one question I have is: I have been able to SSH to the AntMiner.  Is there a way to view the cgminer screen?

That's called load balance. Fallover/failsafe means it will prefer 1 as long as 1 is up. Then it will go to 2, until 1 is up.

Changing of the password isn't really required, only people behind your router could do anything to the settings. Its probably worth turning it off entirely.

Yep setup is now PCI-Es, but I've left the cable based setup as those 1st gen units will eventually be resold and require setting up again. Circle of life.

I've not looked at the SSH side, I'm sure someone will know.

screen -r doesn't work, maybe its in the code but I don't know what the command is

Screen isn't installed by default.

Screen, as already told, isn't installed
We need to know what process is doing the multitasking, or if cgminer is run in a "silent mode" that is not showing outputs

The script is open to edit and there should be more than enough memory left to run screen, the is also a package for it at http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages

I was going to play with better cooling this weekend but now I have multiple choices, cooling, screen or wash the cars
