All,
My Bitmain Antminer S4 arrived yesterday, and I am very anxious to open the box and get it set up.
I already have 3 USB dualminers running on my PC, currently mining altcoins. It took me forever and a day to figure out what I need to do in order to get it working properly.
CGMINER - unsuccessful in setting it up
CPUMINER - minor success in setting up, it would receive work from the pool, but the pool wouldn't display the work it was doing.
BFGMINER - better success than CPUMINER, I was able to connect but It wouldn't register all the miners connected to my PC.
MULTIMINER - SUCCESS! I sure am thankful for these GUI Miners. Once I went to the
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm website and re-installed the drivers this way rather than just connecting the USBs and having them load the drivers themselves. It worked, all 3 Miners are successfully mining scrypt altcoins. Going thru Multiminer I was able to locate the command it used with BFGMINER, I wasn't selecting my COM ports with dualminer@COM7
If anyone has any pointers in setting up an AntMiner S4 please share a few tips, so that this will be rather quick set up. In the end I don't mind figuring it our for myself. Just seeing if someone is willing to share some knowledge.
