Well, so I just sent an email to bitmain asking for a tracking number and they answered me that they wont give me a tracking number until 12-13 of April  Sad
 That is because they are late or because they need time to process the tracking numbers as usual ?

Processing. They'll ship everything out on the 10th and 11th, update all the trackings while they're in transit for delivery on Monday. <--- guess based off history.

sounds about right. (Im a little dissapointed they are shipping on a thursday for that reason. Shipping on the 8th or even the 9th would have almost certainly resulted in delivery BEFORE the weekend)
So would shipping it on the 3rd February 2008? The batch isn't due to ship on the 10th, so its shipped on the 10th.
agreed - its just sad when mining hardware is sitting unused in a UPS depot for an entire weekend (typically i order bitmain equipment on a friday or a monday for this reason, and get my gear around wednesday/thursday).  I don't hold it against bitmain, it was clearly specified as by the 10th and I 100% understood that when i ordered

Thank you Kano..

as for security.. if someone is on my network close enough to the miners.. I have more issues then just them change my pools....

This is news to me...  

the fillowing line is in my init.d file, is this not enough?

config_get _aa default api_allow

Check out lines 76 and 77.... Smiley

EDIT:

http://pastebin.com/cGUkj20L

Is what it should be...

Interesting.. thank you

edit...  now I wish I had put a authorized key on each friken ant!!!

Ok there's no real security issue there - that's the same as I used to have, before I changed them.

Line 75 is a left over from avalon having to initialise the chips and then run cgminer a 2nd time.
On the S1 I think it fails and does nothing.
Edit it and add a '#' in the front to comment it out (that's what I do)

Line 98 is the line that starts cgminer.

So in this case if your api_allow is set it should work fine.
( api-allow is in /etc/config/cgminer )
Line 47 assigns it to _aa

--api-network gets overridden by any value in --api-allow (that's the rule in my code)

speaking of S1 code.. when trying to do a switchpool remotely, we are receiving this response:  

Rig: ant2 Message: Access denied to 'switchpool' command

edit:  we have  option api_allow 'W:0/0'
Firstly, don't ever use W:0/0 - it means that anyone who can access your miner can do whatever they like to it
e.g. adding new pools, mining to different users, shutting it down ... etc.

I suspect since I added the API to cgminer ~2.5 years ago, random port scans across the internet to port 4028 have increased Tongue

Anyway,
I can only guess that there is some other option later (in /etc/init.d/cgminer) overriding it.
If there are 2 --api-allow, only the 2nd one is used.
... and FYI (just in case) to add 2 (or more) addresses to --api-allow is like: --api-allow w:127.0.0.1,r:192.168.0/24

Edit: pastebin your /etc/init.d/cgminer in the S1

I figured this one out yesterday. The option is not being used in /etc/init.d/cgminer  Undecided

You'll need to change this file to make sure the --api-allow is being used. The code is in the line above commented out.

Thanks Kano!

My units won't run hot... ( 4x190cfm)

Edit: Any ideas somebody for higher clocks? How to figure out the codes?

Any solution for the high rejected.

I got 1500 accepted 1100 rejected.

(Changing the fans are pain....)
Finally got my hands on the source code.

As mentioned before, the high reject isn't really affecting the hash rate - it's extra shares being sent to the pool.
The actual cause is they've modified the code to bypass the full share difficulty check and do a simple check a 'bit' below required difficulty.
The pools must hate the S2s - they are passing some of the work load of cgminer checking shares, to the pool to do it - to save CPU on the miner.

I don't have an S2 yet ... but should soon. Then I'll be able to work on making the S1 code handle the S2 also (one or the other)
There's no temperature checking in the S2 code, so you should see it simply stop mining or even shutting down if you run it somewhere too hot.

Well, so I just sent an email to bitmain asking for a tracking number and they answered me that they wont give me a tracking number until 12-13 of April  Sad
 That is because they are late or because they need time to process the tracking numbers as usual ?

Processing. They'll ship everything out on the 10th and 11th, update all the trackings while they're in transit for delivery on Monday. <--- guess based off history.

sounds about right. (Im a little dissapointed they are shipping on a thursday for that reason. Shipping on the 8th or even the 9th would have almost certainly resulted in delivery BEFORE the weekend)
So would shipping it on the 3rd February 2008? The batch isn't due to ship on the 10th, so its shipped on the 10th.

Just copy the file locally, edit it then upload it back overwriting the old. WINSCP is a great gui program to SSH into your miner and manipulate the file system.

Thanks Mr Teal.....

I believe that is exactly the mistake we were making.....

Actually we did edit the .config file......and saved but no reboot it went back to factory.

Did you use this method and it worked for you Mr Teal?

Thanks
