Topic: ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread - page 121. (Read 710164 times)
I got 2 new antminers today and they have the latest firm ware. this inlcudes under clock freq and under volt numbers . has any one been able to get the undervolts numbers to work. I keep dropping the undervolt and don't seem to use less watts.
^^^ That's probably 50W's of resistance from the 1200foot of spaghetti wire between the panel meter and where your miner is actually racked. 
Anyone have any experience with BitMain's Umisoo hosting? I see the option under the shipping tab and am curious if anyone has gone that direction with their purchase.
I got a few S4s hosted there. The process is confusing. Your miner gets shipped there and you have to wait for an e-mail to tell you that you have to pay the invoice for 1st month's hosting. Then wait for another e-mail to tell you to configure pools etc. The whole process took nearly a week, so I lost about 4-5 days compared to if I shipped the miners to my own colo.
User interface is clunky, you can't even see which pool is dead/alive, accept/rejects, nothing. I was kind of expecting they would give access to the actual miner's web interface, but that's not the case. I was using their own AntPool and then it stopped working, switched to backup pool and I still don't know why. My miners work at 80-90% rated speed, but that might be an S4-specific issue.
In other words, quite crappy. And pricing is not that great either, 0.13 USD per kW/h at the moment.
Thank you for the update on the place. That power expense is really terrible. I would certainly be better off here at 0.10 USD for energy. I guess these types of situations are good for non-technical people that want to mine, but like you, I like direct access to the miners to make changes as I see fit. Do you have to keep them there for a certain period of time or is it just a month-2-month contract situation?
There is no minimum, it's month-to-month. I believe I can stop paying any time and ask for it to be shipped to me, although I'm not sure yet what the shipping cost would be - sent an e-mail last week, waiting for response. I have access to 0.08-0.10 USD power, but unfortunately I'm out of capacity, so I thought this would be a good option - even though it's a bit more expensive per kW/h, but I saved 120+ USD per unit on shipping. If they can sort out the performance issue for the S4 it could be bearable. Power costs will go down slightly:
Oct. 1st,2014-
Dec. 31st,2014
$0.13/KWh
Jan. 1st,2015-
Mar. 31st,2015
$0.12/KWh
Apr. 1st,2015-
Jun. 30th,2015
$0.11/KWh
It's funny though that the hosting invoice for the S4 seems to have calculated ~1450W per unit, even though the specs say 1400W. Looks like they don't trust their own specs
Certainly expected better integration and better support considering all this is supposed to be handled by the same company.

One of mine is acting up (an S3) and I've set it to reboot every 2 hours:
* 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22 * * * /sbin/shutdown -reboot
* 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22 * * * /sbin/shutdown -reboot
Might be simpler as:
0 */2 * * * /sbin/shutdown -reboot
Thanks for the suggestion. Implemented. I freely admit to knowing just enough about crontab to be dangerous.
Now, I'm curious, why do you want to reboot every day? And, here's another way, put in cron or loop script to run every few minutes or hour
Code:
upsecs=`cat /proc/uptime |cut -d'.' -f1`
if [ $upsecs -gt 86400 ]
then
reboot
fi
Nice one! Well, my miners are in a server room somewhere I can't reach them physically, only via SSH, and since I've experienced a lot of downtime with them, mostly a reboot solves the problem. So if I want to reduce this downtime, I'll have to auto reboot the miners every 24 hours to avoid it, I've had that the miners were offline for a week...

What are you guys accomplishing by rebooting the miner every hour or when it hits a threshold?
Yeah I'd also appreciate an answer to this. Anyone?
Usually it's when something about the setup (the pool, the hardware, the Web connection, w/e) is inconsistent and causes the hashrate to drop or chips to be 'x' out after a few minutes or hours of operation. Reboot clears the problem until they occur again.
Imo moat hardware doesn't need this, unless you have a troublesome unit. I don't use it for any of my miners other than a bitfury system that's over 14 months old and sometimes stops hashing an individual card

BITMAIN:
Did your site recently change its security certificate? To one issued by a company in Scottsdale, Arizona?
Having problems logging in after no problems up until just now. Did the password reset request, got the email, clicked on the link, verified and reset the password to a new one, then got the log in page and tried to log in. Got message back saying password was incorrect, but it was the one I had just entered as the new password on your reset script/page.
I tried the log on and the reset process in Firefox and IE, with the same results in both.
I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem, if your site has been hacked or there's a 'man in the middle' attack going on.

I had the same issue. My old password had a special character in it as well, and after going through the password retrieval process, I saw the interface had changed a bit, and there were no unrecognized logins to my account. Given I don't use Bitmain's pool or hosting services, there's only so much a thief could steal from my account (my coupons that expire in 6 days and Bitmain has said they'd hand out to anyone who wants them?).
It was disconcerting though. And I wish every website supported the same standard password characteristics. None of these "maximum of 12 characters" or "0-9 a-Z only" sites!
Agreed. Good to know I wasn't the only one with the issue.
Hi 1Neptune, praeluceo,
We ever filtered the special characters of password setting to avoid a hacker attack through the password input box. So you encountered above situation.
But we upgraded software this morning, and currently system accepts the special characters.
Suggest that you reset your passwords again.
I know this question has been asked before a long time ago, but I can't find it anymore...
Is there a way to automatically let an AntMiner S3 reboot every eg 24 hours?
Thank you!

Go to your scheduled tasks and put this in
0 23 * * * /sbin/reboot
This means my machines reboot every 24hrs at 11pm at night just before i go to bed.

wah thanks bro this is great infos

Hi everyone.
Just received another 4 machines from bitmain today, 3 machines are running really well, better than any have before.
But one machines seems to have a dead board, When it was first switched on there was one string with just x all across, after a while it disappeared all together, So it appears only one board is effected, I have checked the internal cables, and also swapped the control board out to make sure it wasn't that.
How is bitmain with its RMAs - As touch wood this is the first machine out of 30 to have an issue.
Also any advice on maybe getting this one working would be much appreciated.
