Hey kano,

Not pressing or such but...How's the S3 bin coming? Just thought I'd ask 'cuz you don't have enough to do.    

I know..smartass in every crowd

It'll just be a tar file you extract into the /overlay/ folder - since flashing an S3 risks screwing it up and you can't fix it without extra hardware if you do screw it up.

The S3 binary itself already works (if you build it from current git) but bitmain does stupid stuff in their cgminer/web interface that I'm (slowly) fixing.
It averages well under 100% CPU (load average under 1.0) and doesn't have delays due to not getting work.

Thx...lookin forward to it.

Previously the cgminer binary for the S3 was a simple replacement of the crap Bitmain supplied.  The update process was:

Code:

/etc/init.d/cgminer stop
cd /usr/bin
mv cgminer cgminer_bak
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.1-141020/cgminer
chmod +x cgminer
/etc/init.d/cgminer start

If you're doing things to replace the /overlay/ directory, you're doing a hell of a lot more than simply providing a binary that replaces cgminer.  Many thanks for addressing Bitmain's shoddy software!  I'm looking forward to the release .

The S3 is a work horse, I love mine.  I will love it even more with updated (better) software, woo!

I wonder if mega mines like HaoBTC will update all 11,000+ of their units, and how long that would take...

So what is the BEST guide, in your opinion, on how/where to replace the S3 firmware?  There are many hits for such a query.

If you want to update right now, then what I posted is what you need to do.  Otherwise, once kano finishes his work, I'm sure he'll provide instructions on how to upgrade.  Looking at what he's written so far, it'll likely be just getting the tar ball and exploding it in the /overlay/ directory.

This morning I have one miner showing a 3.75G best share, another showing 1.9G, and another showing 15.24G.  Come on, let's take care of this block!

[sorry2xs]

Good Bye Btcguild

[CapnBDL]

Got one to start the month with!    Now a couple of quick hitters would be great.  


edit: How'd we do for June?

I am new to cloud mining and this is my first time to rent a rig. I just rented a rig on betarigs then i was asked to enter my pool details so i registered with kano CKpool and entered the URL, i then used my bitcoin address and username as my workername. Pls i want to know if there is any other thing i need to do. The rig i rented is to last for 3 days.

If you registered on Kano's site, you can simply use the username you registered with as your rented rig's username so you can track your work. You can then put your Bitcoin address in the Settings page on Kano's site.

What kind of asic? Bitmain? My asic not report best share, only S1 on the web interface.

S1, S2 and S3 do with official cgminer.

and of course anyone mining with the official cgminer on their computer

... well S3 not quite yet but I got all the S3 luci/lua stuff working finally, will have a release within the next day (or 2).

Oooh.....can't wait for this, many thanks kano!



I was going to retire my S3's until recently when the BTC price improved, hopefully your excellent work can help breathe new & extended life into these little work horses & p2pool yet (I run them with your older version btw - have done since you first released it).

ok thanks. but how will i be able to monitor it on on kano's site

If you mine to a username you login and use the web site.

As it says on the front web page ...

If you mine to an address, you use the address links to see your stats:
http://www.kano.is/address.php?a=1KanoiBupPiZfkwqB7rfLXAzPnoTshAVmb
http://www.kano.is/worker.php?a=1KanoiBupPiZfkwqB7rfLXAzPnoTshAVmb_worker

As it says, use your address in place of mine.

Address mining has very limited stats.

I've put an AntS3 update archive in my binaries git hub of latest 4.9.2 cgminer.
For details and installing: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS3

This has been tested and run on both an old AntS3 and one of the later AntS3

I don't have an AntS3+ but I suspect it should work fine there also.

The menu frequency settings in the "Miner Configuration" "Advanced Settings" web interface includes default settings for both S3 and S3+

I've, of course, tested it on my pool https://kano.is/

It should also be OK on p2pool since it's the same code related to p2pool as in my AntS1 and AntS2 releases

Please give it a try and let me know if anyone has any trouble with it on AntS3 or AntS3+

Early days, but so far so good. Love the extra modules you've put up on the webUI, it's really smartened it up - great work kano!

One small thing I've noticed, I can't get mmonitor to show the 2 hash rate speeds anymore, even after adding the local ip of the PC running mmonitor to the api allow menu, it just shows as "ZERO". It's been so long since I played with these S3's that I can't remember what I have to add......lol

Really smart stuff kano - bitmain should pay you heavily
