I have the S3 connect to a router as of now. I have tried both the router and a direct connection to my laptop.

I was typing the ip (192.168.1.99) in IE. The cgi-bin/luci screen comes up but ends up timing out and saying bad gateway.

I cannot believe accessing the webGUI is so difficult.

BTW.. I did install winSCP. Smiley

just what are u typing in your web browser ? and which web browser are you using ?.

or how are you trying to access the S3 ?.

type this in your browser

192.168.1.with whatever you changed the last number to, like 100, 200 etc up to 254, then hit enter .  

changing those above setting might be worse they look normal how they are .

most home networks have that limit or are limited to 255 devices per router, depends on the router.

Still cannot access the miner with the web GUI.

Will changing any of these settings help?

My thoughts on home mining it will never be complety dead unless bitmain and Avalon stop selling to the public as for bw , bitfury etc  it remains to be seen, I don't trust one word they say they are to greedie now for there own good and want it all.


and all most any miner should be usable till July,it all depends what you expect etc after July well see no one knows for sure how it will impact us (but one and we won't go there). til it happens .


so yea the S3 or a few S3 running are still use able, it all depends what you expect or want form it not all of us are in it for RoI but more for the fun and the extra $$ you can make, at least till July.

 Hey I still use a S1 and saving for future miners now .

use the down arrow key and scroll down till it stops your not at the bottom of the list


look for  option ipaddr '192.168.1.99'
and change

99 to what ever you want it to be set to on your network . 100, 202 etc but make sure no other device on your network is using that IP or neither the S3 or the device will work after a reboot, network wise.

you should all ready be set to static .

sadly i can't remember the VI commands to save setting sense i like to use nano or this more http://winscp.net/eng/index.php?#utm_source=winscp&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=5.7.6.

nano is not installed by default on most S3 and can be a bitch to install on one , VI is .

Is it possible to change the default IP.1.99 to something different via putty? I can access the s3 with putty but the when I try using the ip in the browser it says bad gateway.

which  S3 is it a upgraded one or one in a box .

log n with putty
@
192.168.1.99
then use

vi /etc/config/network

the very last line is were you change it

try this first it might not be set to 192.168.1.99

http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/

if you get a bad gateway .

if you can't find the IP at all then do a hard ware reset if that doesn't work you may need a controller or have to reprogram it .

This member sell controllers that work better then bitmains, he makes him self and they do work better, i can confirm that they do, I have bought one and am buying another in two weeks .

Running my S3+'s still, one at Kano and the other mining solo as a lottery machine. Once my S7 gets here it'll probably be time to sell the S3's. The S7 will probably be the last miner I and plenty of others own since the difficulty will just be too high to make anything.

I run one S3+ as a lotto machine, despite my tier 4 $0.33 kW/h electricity rate.  Shocked

They are still capable of solving blocks at today's difficulty, so I figure why not have at least 1 pony in the races?

about to buy a s3 with psu and connectors on ebay for 120$, free shipping. worth it? Previously used a few (20) antminer u2s, but they werent profitable. Planning to underclock, but I dont really know what voltage to set at once I buy it. help

you dont set a voltage..


and if you pay for electricity, its not worth it.


You would need extremly cheap electricity.  The good thing is S3's were built like tanks they do seem to last a very long time.  The bad side to that is when you pay electricity and say you have "normal" price at some point it cost more then it makes.

So that is where a lot of these S3's are is owners selling them trying to get last part of ROI since they would be losing money running them.

is thier any new pools I am suppose to switch to and get payments faster? cause all of a sudden my S3+ now takes 5 or 6 days to get 0.01 BTC instead of 2 days like before

was thier a big spike in bitcoin difficulty or am I just on a bad pool now? I'm using bitcoin.cz

Diff has gone up and S3 is not very effective. If you don't have very cheap electricity it's not profitable anymore. Changing pool won't help this.

Yea I was afraid of this Sad

I can't afford a 1TH miner, and my S3 only makes $25 a month now

That is the nature of the game.  As gear get's older the less it makes from efficiency.  I am a little surprised to hear you make 25 a month off a single S3.   What is your electricity price?


the s3 is pretty much done.. at todays diff and btc price they make 23$ @ 100% luck..
at 10c a kwh they cost 25$ to run..

altho you can undervolt them.. to add some life.. i have 3 running, but kano's luck is keeping them alive.. but just barely and im using mine to heat the back room to keep the mildew out.. so there is that.



That was what I was thinking that he must be "free" or near "free" to make 25 still.  I found that impressive it does it a month for anyone considering age and price they sell for.

They were built like tanks though.  So I expect we will see them around for quite a while yet just has to be very very cheap electricity.

with some undervolting you can almost get s5 efficiency.


They really are good miners.  Just looked at ebay and still around 100 dollars which is amazing they have still held a decent value considering how long they have mined.

Only advice I have if anyone is getting one if S3 and not S3+ make sure to get speed of miner.  Some of batch 1's did not get as spec and they gave a small portion back.  Getting a S3+ avoids this, and if not + model just ask seller of screenshot of mining with a decent amount of time on it.
