You can overclock the S2 from the web UI with the new firmware in the advanced tab. I wouldn't recommend doing so with the standard PSU though  Wink
So have you overclocked it? What is your result?

I posted this in a different discussion but I noticed that this one is labeled active, please excuse my forum faux pas. I'm hoping someone here can help me since I am a relatively new to using antminers. I have three s1's and two s3's and I just bought my first s2. I have successfully ssh into the s1's and s3's and have overclocked/underclocked without any problems, but for some reason I cannot edit the /etc/config in the s2. I open putty and enter root/admin and instead of seeing the normal welcome screen all I see is a line "root@antminer:~#", then I enter "/etc/config" and it says "-sh: /etc/config: not found". I have updated to the latest firmware from Bitmain and have rebooted several times. Any ideas what might be wrong?
Did you got any answer to this I would like also to know the answer.

that i know but at least an offer for the upgrade should be given. It is up to the buyer to upgrade or not.
At a huge cost of making PCBs which no one will buy and don't currently fit in any other formfactor?

I would like to stir the hornet's nest ...

What happen to our 1.8TH to 2TH upgrade pack??? Have we forgotten the promises and barely fullfill with just a firmware upgrade?? Where is our pitch fork... where is our burning broom stick ...

March March March!!!!

 Grin Grin Grin

As in the original S4 announcement, it was decided there would be no point selling blades for an S2 as the power consumptions weren't that improved and S2's were still viable on their own. [Speculation, have no information] Maybe a more efficient board will be made into S2 upgrades.

They don't need to do it. People will buy mining hardware in any case.

Not true. Very few will buy something that makes no sense to buy.
We can buy BTC directly in US and 18 european countries via Coinbase.
However, it is not as much fun as mining, I agree.

BITMAIN announces Antpool: Pushing forward Decentralization

We are pleased to announce Antpool (antpool.com) which is open for users all around the world. BITMAIN has invested significant resources into developing a bitcoin pool based on the p2pool mining protocol. BITMAIN reaffirms its commitment to help decentralize the Bitcoin network, strengthen the Bitcoin eco-system and put the majority of hashing power into the hands of consumers.

The p2pool protocol prevents hashing power being controlled by one central entity (the pool owner), and has been significantly developed during the development of Antpool. All p2pool code will be open sourced and uploaded on BITMAIN’s Github link this week https://github.com/bitmaintech/p2pool. Antpool supports solo mining as well.

Antpool has been proven to be stable and secure through its long testing period.  From August 22th to November 10th, 295 blocks were found and 7398 Bitcoins were mined. Further stats can be found here link https://www.antpool.com/poolStats.htm.

Antpool can be found at antpool.com, while miners now can connect at stratum.antpool.com:3333 for pooled mining, and will be able to connect at p2p.antpool.com:3333 for p2p mining this week. Pool nodes are deployed around the world to improve performance and provide redundancy. Miners are automatically routed their closest location, including:
  • United States
  • Germany
  • Hong Kong
  • Beijing
  • Shenzhen
  • Qingdao
  • Hangzhou and more.


Features
  • 0% fees and PPLNS earnings.
  • Graphical displays for hashing speeds, income and pool statistics.
  • Email warnings for underperforming miners. 
  • API and third party application support.
  • Support for miner groups, group statistics and management.

Forum & Ticket System
Users are able to access to Antpool with their BITMAIN account. The log in and ticket system is unified across all BITMAIN services, which allows communication and support to be more efficient. Miners now can buy mining rigs from bitmaintech.com and chose hosting service at Umisoo and mine at antpool.com.

Your feedback is important for us to develop and improve our products.
