Hi all,
I was upgrading FW on S3 miners a few days ago. By my mistake I upgraded one S1 miner with S3 firmware. When I recognized this, I flashed back FW for S1 miner. But now I can not set miner to work properly. In ASIS status I see 4 chain and the miner have only 2. Could you help me someone? Thx, Ivan.

I'm copying this from the Bitmain S3 discussion thread in the hope that Bitmain will do the right thing, abide by the law & respect ckolivas request to release their code as stipulated by the Open Source License Agreement:
Exactly. I don't understand why they don't work more closely with the cgminer devs - using such an old miner for this equipment is false economy. There have been many improvements & optimixations since this cgminer release, not to mention a very important fix for work redirection by a third party.
Can we just SSH in to it and compile CGMiner to a newer version ?
One would assume that we have access to their modified code and driver for cgminer which the cgminer license stipulates, however they have ignored our requests for making that code available. I am considering what direction to take now about that license violation.
Indeed, I saw your post requesting access to the code - ignoring it seems a very strange course of action by Bitmain, especially since agreeing & cooperating would not only benefit everyone - but would also stay within the legally binding license terms.......
I hope they realize their error & do the right thing - as well as live up to their claim of supporting the Bitcoin community.
@ckolivas: Is there anything we, the community, can do to help? Maybe if we all started mailing them they will take notice?
Hmmmm.......Sorry to quote myself, but the more I think about this - the more it doesn't make any sense. in fact, it smells.
Apart from the obvious legal obligations pointed out by ckolivas, one of the hardest working & well respected Bitcoin community members there is, I find myself wondering why on earth Bitmain won't release their code - are they trying to hide something? I mean, the third party redirect fix was a very important update - why on earth would Bitmain not want to implement it? There are also a multitude of other fixes & improvements which Kano (where is he by the way?) listed in a previous post regarding the S2, but are still relevent:
By not cooperating with the cgminer devs request to release the code as they are legally bound to do - and not updating cgminer to incorporate the very important security fixes, Bitmain are not only breaking the law - but they are also arousing suspicion amongst the Bitcoin community as to why they are refusing to do so. For a company that claims to respect & care deeply for the Bitcoin community, this makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Before anyone starts breaking my balls accusing me of stirring things up trying to discredit Bitmain - I am a customer who has Bitmain hardware & am quite happy with it. I am merely pointing out the legally binding obligations Bitmain are ignoring, as well as trying to highlight the contempt that Bitmain are showing towards ckolivas & kano - without who, mining & Bitcoin would not be what it is today. We, as a community owe it to the cgminer devs to make sure that all hardware manufacturers respect their requests to release their code as stated in the open source license agreement. If they refuse - we should all be concerned as to the reasons why.
Sorry to ramble, but I'm a great believer in Open Source & what the cgminer devs have done, and continue to do. We owe them
I do wish the BITMAIN would publish the device driver details so that a current version of cgminer could be attained. I know at least 2 releases in 4 had notes about queue improvements and one at least specifically stated it generated work much faster. Also one of the last 3's had an improvement about how work was loaded into devices. I know for sure 3.12 is very old and I am positive that many work generation improvements have been added since then.

There are also a multitude of other fixes & improvements which Kano (where is he by the way?) listed in a previous post regarding the S2, but are still relevent:
Because:
1) The version in there throws away valid blocks on p2pool
2) The version in there doesn't block the recent stratum redirect problem
3) The version in there passes all shares to the pool even if they are below target (I'm sure pools must hate the S2 due to the major increase in CPU requirements at the pool)
4) The version in there has the API set to W:0/0 so anyone with network access can change your settings/pool/username (and the web page doesn't let you fix that)
5) The version in there has a modified API with different field names to the standard API so anyone using other software that reads the API must get that software changed (or use a proper API version of cgminer in the S2
)

I just moved my 8 S1 Antminers to my Garage and noticed that the Remote Garage Door Openers are acting, sometimes they open and sometimes they don't, I am not using the machines via Wifi, do you guys know if the machines interfere with Garage Door Openers/Remote Openers?
Thank you
Thank you
mine have been in the garage since February with no issues, garage door, remote lighting, car alarms, car starter..

If you have a decent garage door opener nothing will interfere with it

Should be easy enough to make one of these with some electronic "bread board", an LED, a Switch and a Plug recovered from old Motherboard

AntMiner Jumper Switch- Bitcoin Miner Accessory
Global Sales start on July 31, will close on August 6th. Shipping starts on August 27th.
PC Power Supply has been widely used to power Bitcoin Miners, but users have to use the paper clip or other metal line to short blue line and black line of the PSU 24 pin interface before powering Bitcoin Miners. It is troublesome thing to short lines, and may lead to unstable power supply.
Here we are glad to introduce a new Bitcoin Miner Accessory - AntMiner Jumper Switch, which is to provide a convenient and effective method to start PSU. Only need to connect it to the PSU 24 pin interface, then press the “Switch”.
Only Available at http://www.bitmaintech.com

Thank you fro your new product release. The price of 0.003 or 1.5 USD is inclusive of shipping or not?
I was wondering how I can effectively and safely shut down antminer S1 and S3 without doing a hard stop by switching of the power supply.
Since I want the Ants to stop and change power source each days twice hard stop is not an option for me.

Yeah good luck with that.

I've got a handful of S1's for sale in the Washington DC area. Message me (sooner the better) if anyone wants to buy for BTC (.33 each) or equivalent USD and meet up in Reston or Tysons to exchange. Shipping is too much of a hassle / I threw away the boxes / You will save on not needing to pay for it. They've only been running about a month.
July 14, 2014, 07:54:55 PM
For those who don't have cheap power, how long do you think these S1 are going to stay on for?
The clock v. power curve would be interesting
The clock v. power curve would be interesting
remember down clock under volt gets you 140gh and 180 watts that adds 2 diff or 3 diff jumps of life.
I sold off some of mine recently, but they still have life because I sold them to someone with lower electricity costs. In fact quite a bit of life at the current <10% diff jump rate.

Well if anyone in is melbourne, I have 5 ants all with cooling mods (extra heatsinks, extra fans)
What you looking at each unit $?
June 10, 2014, 10:35:07 PM
Looking forward to new products from Bitmain, their business model works for me. I feel sorry for the poor bastards who are "investing" in vaporware. We at least know what to expect with sha256 ASICs the scrypt guys are getting fucked, and most don't even know it yet.
