The coupons seem to expire Shenzen time.
All my S1 coupons and most of my S2 coupons expired mid-day yesterday. And I expect my remaining 2 S2 coupons to expire "anytime now". Sad

S2 received yesterday after ordering it on Friday evening.  The boards inside were all jiggled loose during shipment and the case itself was a little bent but everything works fine.  I wonder if Bitmain could consider shipping the boards secured together seperate from the case itself so there is less chance of damage from the boards clashing around in the case.

Everything works though after plugging them back in.

I have ten (10) S2 coupons to give away, all of which expire tomorrow May 30.  PM me your bitmain ID and let me if you want one or more of them.

I am looking for S1 coupons (4 would be great).  Does anyone still have any and willing to part with?


I dont think anyone has any s1 coupon that doesnt expire 29/5

i found they want to failover to the 3rd pool at times - after removing the 3rd pool i have considerably less ppc income...

this is strange, I have not seen this. In fact, my second pool earned just 0.00009 BTC in several months on multiple miners, which also means that third would have earned essentially nothing.

yeah on the s-1's  if you do 2 not three and the second one fails  there is a longer delay   as it goes to line 3 finds nothing  then goes back up to line 1.  

you can lose 5-10 minutes of mining   each time that happens.
Then use a proper version of cgminer Tongue
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS1

P.S. it doesn't do what you described in any version.
The list of pools is passed to cgminer at startup.

I've got an S2 with only 9 slots working. I know that it is the slot and not the board because i switched the boards around to no positive effect.
Anybody had the same?

Is this somehow fixable or a lost cause and I will have to endure a 90% miner. I will ask bitmain for some compensation. Was anything ever given in cases like this?

Where is LOGOUT on the web gui? I don't see it. It is too minimized in comparison with S1, in my opinion.


try putting one of your pools on line 3..  you only have two pools.  copy line one and have it on 1 and 3.


did you always try to run all 10 cards     or did you try   slot 1 and slot 2 only?   just run 2 cards   to see if slot 1 works.


your psu may be only able to run 9 cards and slot one is the one that gets the least power.

Thanks. interesting..., no, did not try to run just two cards-will try. re pools, i usually don't bother with a third pool. it never affected anything in a good way, but I certainly got some trouble when I specified btcguild as third at one point.

Had an S2 shipped on the 22nd, now it's sitting in customs in California.  UPS can't give me an estimate as to when it will be released.  Any US buyers run into this?  How long did your package take to clear?

Thanks,
Dave

^^^ Interesting! What's your total hashrate?

+1

No change. The Kernel is treating it as a 64 chip board (which is why I posted the dmesg output). I'm running with 0881 as the flags (225mhz) and it's hashing nicely at about 1100gh.

A question: out of 3 tar files on bitmain site, do you need only the last (from 20140410) to put on backup SD or all three of them. Instructions are unclear to me.
Do I just put the tar file directly there or decompress it first?
What is the use of SD partition tool? Much obliged for any help.
