I have one S2 $400 coupon that I will not be using.  PM me if interested.

Gogreen, you were the first to ask so you got it.  Happy mining.

Difficulty is going back up again:

The conspiracy theory says they turned off alot of power 1.5 days before the last jump to make it appear diff is decreasing.  Is this meant to sell more mining equipment??

Now back to normal up from the 82PH to 95PH.

perfect time to knock 6usd off the price

however should btc begin to climb again, expect to see the 6USD added back on possibly more...



@3.896 BTC. how much potential profit is left for buyers??

oh. wait, haven't we've already gone over this...


And my recently received dented & buckled rig that was running 'fine' on 9 blades keeps shutting down with the 10th blade in place.

swapped PSU's - no difference but its not often, maybe2-3 times per day...

no beeping, no warning - just shutdown

I have an unusual problem.. I used to be able to tunnel into my S2's via SSH, but now root/admin isn't working as a username and password. It seems to have changed (?). I've tried root/root, admin/admin, admin/root, root/admin.. no dice.

The web interface still works fine with root/root.. I just can't get in via SSH anymore.

How can I resolve this?

It may be time for a reboot.
Tried it. Tried powering off and back on. Tried reflashing the firmware.. still no dice. Sad

Do you get a password prompt at all or does ssh not work at all?

[edit] what ssh client are you using - putty?

you have to pruce much lower. Dragon miners are selling for $1500-1700.   The S2 should not cost more than 2.5BTC
Where are you seeing them from $1500 to $1700?  Might have to pick another one up.

 Whichever A1-based alternative you decide to purchase, I would recommend against Bit-Tech's offerings in the Group Buys section Sad The quality control of their products leaves much to be desired, unfortunately.

 Personally, I've been really happy with my S2's and they are noticeably quieter than the A1 rigs.

Anyone have an accurate number for the CFM that the stock fans move through the box of an S2?  Need it to construct a hot aisle / cold aisle in the server room.  Thanks.

Hi Kano,

Thanks for your efforts in making Bitmain hardware a finished product.
I just updated my S2 to your "firmware".

2 issues came up, right after the update

1. I am noticing, the S2 will not connect to Eligius any more
2. It will see my local P2Pool as "dead" , though its up and I got other miners connected to it

As you can see it is mining on Slush, which is the backup pool, even though Eligius is up.

Hmm and not a very good hash rate either.
The av is somewhat ok, but the 5m is showing it heading south.

There are certainly big problems on p2pool that I'm looking into.
Eligius? No idea why - someone else mentioned that in the cgminer thread also.
Maybe when I fix the p2pool problem that may solve that also.

My reply to that was: Smiley

Quick questions for those with S2's. If the power glitches or goes out neither of my2 miners will come back up when the power is restored. I have to unplug the miners and let them sit for a few mins before they will come back on. Is this a known problem with the psu? Thanks for any answers.

Got my Batch 4 S2 in today and just finished configuring it after swapping the power supply out for a Corsair AX1200. It's humming along at 1THs quite nicely. Thanks again Bitmain !

Took about 30 minutes, requiring removing 5 of the blades to get to the power PCIe connectors.

Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the beeping entirely ?
No. It is ignored.

That's another change that's in my version ...
Actually taking notice of the checkbox value Smiley

In their version of the code it is set to 'true'.
The option enables it.
So ... in both cases it is always on.
