PSU for S3 question
I just bought 4 S3+ batch 8, and i need to know if 2 Corsair CS750M can run 4 S3+ at same time(1 PSU for 2 S3): http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/cs-series-modular-cs750m-750-watt-80-plus-gold-certified-psu

One guy told me that i can run 1 Corsair CS650M in 1 and a half S3+, so 2 CS650M can run 3 S3+, but if i had to go for the CS650M i had to buy 3 PSU to power up 4 S3+ in the other hand if 750W can supply 2 S3+ i need only 2 CS750M.

So can a 750W PSU run 2 S3+ or do i need an 850W PSU?

Overclocked S3 draws 400watts. Running 2 S3's not overclocked on 1 750's would need a GOLD.
Watch for Deals! there was a really nice EVGA 1100watt that was just $30ish off at newegg

Now they have finally upload the newer cgminer code that fixes the security holes (6 weeks late), but they don't give users any information about how to apply the update!! Does that mean their customers have to wait another 6 weeks to get an answer?

This is a simple and quick fix. The recipe has been posted many times in the forums.

1. SSH into the S3 and login
2. Issue the following commands sequentially.
a) cd /usr/bin
b) mv cgminer cgminer.bak
c) wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
d) chmod +x cgminer
3. Reboot

replace reboot with
/etc/init.d/cgminer restart
or
/etc/init.d/cgminer stop
/etc/init.d/cgminer start

no need to reboot the device! OMG! A block could be found in that time!!!

After the update i wont need to set everything up again right? Also wanted to make sure my S3+ will retain all of it's settings?

You will not. I just did it a few days ago to 2 S3+. All settings stayed the same except it changed http: to stratum+tcp in the miner status view. But they still go to the same pools.

Get the version via ssh. The webUI will always say the older version Wink

Looks like something obviously changed because both S3s seem to be hashing faster, showing best share in miner status, now showing stratum+tcp instead of http, and load numbers have dropped. What's the command to show version from SSH?

/usr/bin/cgminer-api

scroll to the top to see the cgminer version.

Must have worked; both showing 4.6.0. Will this version work on my undervoltaged S1s?

I'm not sure. I do know Kano published an update for S1s to make things better. Not sure how much better it is, but it's something.

no reason to reboot except of course when I tried using the cgminer stop/start or restart commands they failed to work and generated an error so the only option was to reboot. which funnily enough worked. and I understand why

of course actually what I should have done was
1 cd /etc/init.d
2 cgminer stop
3 cd /usr/bin
4 mv cgminer cgminer.bak
5 wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
6 chmod +x cgminer
7 cd /etc/init.d
8 cgminer start

or do it in 5 steps

1. cd /usr/bin
2. mv cgminer cgminer.bak
3. wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
4. chmod +x cgminer
5. Reboot

Thanks to all who contributed to above. Reminds me of my old UNIX days. Anyway my current cgminer is V3.12.0-1 and they're all working fine. Are the security issues bad enough to warrant upgrade or why should I install newer version?

Your mining can be hijacked midstream and redirected to another pool and you'd not know it. You decide if that's critical or not.

M

Tried first method got a bus error in step 2. Tried second method and everything looked good, but when I rebooted still showing cgminer is V3.12.0-1 under System -> Software. Am I looking at wrong place for version or doing something wrong Huh

when can we expect the next generation chip? (20nm or less)

and after that an S3 to S5? upgrade?

"But honey, you should know by now that expressing your thoughts and proving your point at bitcointalk doesn't mean chit unless, of course, you're one of the Bitcoin Gods or at the very least, you know how to code. Believe me...my ex was one of them. Don't get fooled. Their proclivity to libertarianism is only a facade and a matter of convenience. Now, come to bed and make me happy!"

I ordered 42 antminers S3. But 4 are not properly (1 half speed, the rest even worse). Offcourse I submitted a 'ticket' to webmaster@bitm... with all order numbers etc., a few days ago, but not an answer..? In the pre-sale fase they answered within 3 hours, but when seeking support they are 'busy'. Does anyone else encounter this problem? If yes. The pre-order scam is over and we got a new scam starting here..

It is likely nobody has been around to respond to messages for the past few days, as there is a public holiday / festival right now - National Day, October 1 - 7.

Thanks, let me wait then.

thanks atledenin but that error only came up after the miner rebooted so the ssh connection was lost. I did rename the cgminer file back but the miner didnt start mining again. I ended up having to reflash back to factory settings and inputting my details in again. oh well at least it's mining again

but with old cgminer Sad

You just missed a step is all. Step 4 below. After you use wget to download cgminer, you have to change the permissions to allow execute. The permission denied error is because there is no permission to execute the command.

   1. cd /usr/bin
   2. mv cgminer cgminer.bak
   3. wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
   4. chmod +x cgminer
   5. Reboot

when in doubt, sudo.
