Plug your miner's into one of these. Can be accessed from anywhere in the world while on the Internet and can power cycle the power outlet itself. It is basically powering off your power supply, putting in a wait time and powering it back on. I have one of these connected right now and it works very nice to power my power supplies off/on from a web page.

Here is what sample page looks like of one of mine. There is also scripting you can do and really customize it for specific needs. So, I'll have M's monitor alert me via email if temps reach 75c, then I'll access the power switch and cycle that miner. If it happens again then I can just leave the power outlet off until I get home. I kind of just set this up today so I haven't fully tested the whole sequence that has to happen or haven't gotten fully into the power switch's advanced settings. The powerswitch of course needs to be plugged into your network on the same subnet as your miner's are.

gonna have to give that a closer look. Damn good price. Thanks.
The switching outlets per-se is a non-starter of course due to the total load 8-10 miners draws but - I have a lot of contactors around with 110vac coils for brute power switching and simple relays with 110v coil that can switch the PSU control pins.

For the chronically lazy miners I'll just program it to cycle their power every 2-3 days to hopefully nip the problem in the bud. For the s5's I'll set for maybe once a week.

you can try one out in real time

Ouch



A lot cheaper in the USA even with exchange factored in!

I only have 2 miner's on it now. Don't know what the capacity would be, but it can handle up to 15 amps which is what my electric circuit is in my home. I don't have my miner's all in one place, so I may even try to pick another one up. I just like the fact it has auto-ping and scheduling built right in. It may help users with other devices that need a good solid reboot once in a while too. I schedule my cable modem to reboot once a week, for some reason it peps right up after a reboot. One snafu I have with it is you may need to buy those 6 inch 3 prong power extensions because lots of routers and devices use power blocks that take up 2 spaces. They are very cheap on eBay. Even the 12-14 gauge ones. I'd like to find out more about the built in scripting too. I've never used it with my KNC miner but when I got my Ants, I said I may as well get more use out of it.

specs say it has a 15A thermal breaker on it so that is the max total loading. The 1650w available is good for a couple s5's or 1 s4. ergo in my case the need to use it as a pilot signal for the ~14kw of server PSU's I'm feeding

[NotFuzzyWarm]

On the lazy miners issue, I see one of the s5's at work is in that mode right now. In the morning I'll take a few screen shots of the GUI in it's various states before I head out on a service trip to CA.

If you bricked S5 controller's firmware, it can be restored depends on how badly it is messed up the internal firmware by using the MicroSD card.

You can reboot S5 from a bootable MicroSD card with S5 bootable image on them.

Once you booted S5 from the MicroSD card, please SSH into the S5 and run this command and it will fix the internal firmware issues.  If you are not familier with this process, you can always request a live tech to remote into your computer, create a bootable recovery MicroSD card for you and run this SSH with you.

/etc/init.d/pgnand.sh


Bootable Image can be downloaded from here:

https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203461209-Jan-7-Firmware-Image

You can use this file to restore any MicroSD card (preferably 4GB card) with HDD GURU's Raw Disk Copy Tool that is free to download on the Internet.

Unfortunately mine is too far gone, nothing to SSH to to run the command.

I did confirm the .imgc works though and have rehosted on mega here in case of DDOS. 4GB is minimum size of SD card. Also rejigged it into a .img [zipped] if people prefer that format, hosted on mega here.

Along the lines of when the Ants update the GUI and how...
Anyone having 1 blade of their S3+ or s5 periodically shutting down with hashrate dropping to 1/2 and yet the ASIC status show all chips are are fine? Not until a soft reboot will the status show ----- for the entire dead blade.

Do a hard boot and all is well again for several days or weeks before they get lazy again. Out of the 37 Ants in my farm 3 s3+'s and 2 s5's do this. Can't blame the PSU's because all are ran off of server PSU's feeding 2-3 miners and the other miners on the PSU are fine.

I have had it a few times on my S5.  I am using a RM1000.   I just have to reboot even in gui and it fixes it. 

If it is really happening a lot you could use M's antminer monitor and have it automated to reboot if drop in hash that far.

M's monitor program only alerts you, it doesn't actually reboot the miner. Can also SSH into it and type in "reboot" if you can't access the WebGui.

Also, anyone try the modified firmware by smit? It has cgminer 4.9.0 on it and also has voltage control now. He said the firmware is solid and two of my friends updated all their S5's with no problems and they've been running great.

I'm still nervous about the temperature issue I ran into a couple days ago. We have a few examples and screen shots of the temps being over 80c and still operating. Can BITMAIN please look further into this? Who ever codes your firmware, please I beg you. I appreciate it very much. We all do.

Oh, here is a screen capture of my friend's graph stats built into that new firmware. Very cool. Will using that firmware void warranty?

You got a link to that firmware .?

Hi, has anyone manage checkout on bitmaintech using USD?

I've had two customers buy Antminers from me on eBay who said that they tried but could not complete a USD purchase directly from Bitmain, though I do not know the details why -- one also said he could not use his $400-off S4 coupon unless he paid with BTC.

This was a few months ago -- things may have changed on Bitmaintech.com since then...

At first I assumed people were buying overpriced mining rigs from me on eBay because they just preferred to buy from a US-based seller with whom they had some recourse if things went badly. But it seems others were paying a premium to pay with PayPal instead of BTC, either so they could reverse the payment if need be, or maybe just because they didn't have any bitcoin yet, and didn't want to link their bank accounts to the Bitcoin exchanges (one was afraid because those seem to get hacked routinely) to get some.

Extremist Libertarians, privacy nuts, survivalists, the un-banked, the government-paranoid conspiracy theorists, the money laundering drug dealers and international terrorist fund raisers.  All attracted to bitcoin like moths to the flame... :-)
