Finaly go back to ghash.io
On eligius.st, i have to wait 13 blocks found to be paid, so about 2 days.
On BTC guild, i have to pay fee.
On ghash.io, i'm instantly paid with no fee.

This explain why everybody mine on ghash.io !

What's the hurry? Would you rather help ghash.io destroy btc, or wait a few days to get paid?

p2pool is an option as well for most people.

Just got the S2. Is this the symptom of a bad power supply?
If I have more than 5 boards running, the miner would start and when the screen goes to Antminer and starts hashing, it would last for only a few seconds and turn off. If I have only 5 boards in there, it would be hashing fine, and the pool stats show that it's hashing around 500.

Get a good Gold or Platinum 1200w or greater PSU and swap out that underpowered garbage Enermax.

No problem with my Enermax, all 10 blades work very well at about 980 Gh/s on pool cex.io.

Could you and all reasonable people please stop using cex.io/ghash.io or all your (and mine) bitcoins will turn into pumpkins-use Eligius or anything else for crying out loud

I don't understand why you tell me not use cex.io/ghash.io ?

Can you explain me what is the problem with cex.io/ghash.io please ?

Best regards

Yes, please get off GHash.io immediately.

Have you heard of a "51% attack". Well GHash reached 48% today, so do your part for the Bitcoin network and mine on Eligius, BTCGuild, or Slush's pool instead.

Ok, i understand, i get off GHash.io immediately, going to eligius.st

Received my 2nd S2 today, and it's behaving kinda strange. For one, one of the temperature sensors is reading 127 constantly. It never changes, always 127. I'm thinking it must be glitched, every other one reads between 48-51. Also, all four fan speeds read "0", even though the fans are running... And finally, every time I power off the machine, it resets back to factory settings! Kind of annoying to have to go back and switch it back to DHCP every time i reboot it, especially when my home network is not 192.168.x.x..

Any ideas? I have one other S2 which worked flawlessly within minutes of receiving it so I'm not sure how to go about getting some tech support. I'm currently reading through the manual to see if any of these issues are addressed...

Are you sure that it's not SD Card problem ?

Have you put the SD Card that work well in the AntMiner S2 that doesn't work well ?

If it's a SD Card problem, you can read the good SD Card with Win32DiskImager to make an image.

Then you can rewrite the good image on the bad SD Card with Win32DiskImager.

Good luck

Awesome! You should probably crack the lid on the second, just to make sure the cards are in good. Right?

That's the thing - there should be a big metal plate above the cards - they can't come out unless you remove the plate (or bitmain ships you a rig without a plate or foam protection). It felt like I was unpacking an S1 - cardboard box was a bit battered, but inside, the foam was holding the unit very secure. And inside the unit itself - everything is now bolted down big time.

FTFY.

my last one rattled like a broken mirror upon delivery - which took nearly 2 weeks.

still waiting on RMA'd replacement board, capacitors & adequate thermal paste.

I agree 100% and they sent out spam email today trying to pull in more members… they are not good for Bitcoin IMO , and ill keep my stuff away from there until they are back in the high 30's …

They are the biggest pool out there, and most of it (I believe) is their own hardware. They get way too much of the hash rate percentage for it to be beneficial to bitcoin.

Got my S2s today after a seemingly long journey from China. Opened the lid on the first one with some dread - everything was good.

Plugged it in and it just worked - straight to 1TH/s (slightly over).

Didn't even bother removing the lid on the second one, plugged it in and it just worked - straight to 1TH/s again.

Took me all of 11 minutes to get them both mining.

I've got to hand it to bitmain - he's certainly addressed the problems reported in earlier batches.

Customs fee in UK was £241 per unit btw.

Happy customer!
