ANTMINER S2 Discussion and Support Thread

[innoman]

coupon needed. 0.1 BTC tips. PM me.

We need a coupon trading tool!  It's hard to keep up with who has one and who needs one.  


If anyone has one, I'll do .11BTC, I'd really appreciate it!!  I'm also innoman on bitmain, just PM me your BTC address.

Hi,

Before I bother to look into it has anyone had the issue of the Mining pool Configuration details going to defaults on reboot?
In fact nothing seems to be able to be saved from the miner configuration pages. Had a quick check on SSH to see if I could write to any files also and no luck their either.

Any ideas?

With this firmware, you can change the name of the miner on the LCD.

SSH to miner
go to /config
edit file "usr_defined_lcd"
replace AntMiner S2 with the new name
reboot
enjoy

Awesome!

Now, does anyone know how to make a 1-line ascii art ant? Or any other cool ascii art to display on the lcd? What characters are allowed? d[o_o]b

how low does a coupon get you, its been for ever since i have been on this thread, what have the specs got to and what is the common advice with clocking...how has shipping improved

[letuslook]

In my cgminer screen (SSH) I see the following errors:

BTM0: invalid nonce - HW error
BTM0: invalid nonce - HW error
BTM0: invalid nonce - HW error
BTM0: invalid nonce - HW error
BTM0: invalid nonce - HW error
BTM0: invalid nonce - HW error
BTM0: invalid nonce - HW error
BTM0: invalid nonce - HW error

What does this mean?

I have a coupon that expires today.
PM me if interested.

[psjw4450]

I have S2 coupons for .10 BTC.   Pm me if interested. 

[philipma1957]

I stand corrected, mine was also picked up and scheduled fo' Monday delivery.

UPS as well so the import fees wont be the extortionate ones that DHL feel justified in charging.

touch wood it arrives in one piece not 13.

BTW - 2 of my 3 S2's show the same 'invalid nonce - HW errors', my guess is they could run better somehow possibly with better firmware &/or better PSU's though this has been discredited by a few who've tried 1200w PSUs.

i think ambient heat plays a significant role wrt PSU stability and definitely actual miner stability.

best of luck to all!

  It may be running 9 cards pulling out the hottest one .  is a better choice then using a 1200 watt psu

My tracking actually shows it has left China and will be here by 06/30 end of day.

$400 off list price. My last one I ordered had a new design. They had installed a backing plate to hold the cards firmly in place. It worked arrived in US all in one piece. The previous one I bought without the backing plate arrived with all the cards loose inside and a ben rail. big improvement.

agreed!

the few occasions ive tried 9 cards/blades they have performed MUCH better than with ten. but i still run all at once, not sure why now i think about it... mental aversion to seeing unused boards perhaps?

[innoman]

Got it, thanks!
