Never had any experience with Teamviewer. Is there something that has to be installed on the S3?

I almost at breaking even point on ROI on 4 antminer s3! Bitmain u rock!

It's all gravy from September 2014 and onwards! This was the best purchase of mining hardware that I ever done!

I am still trying to ROI on 3 hurricane x3's...but I am gonna hold in there...

Petamine is a dud...payouts are shit. Anybody know of any good sha256 cloud mining services that beat the price on a antminer s3 per gh/s?


The hashlets are so so...profits not as good as I hope but I might have them pointed to the wrong pool...


I also use CEX.io.  The price/ghash is very high but it is more of a stock market idea.  You can buy ghash low and sell it higher.  Their maint fee is deducted every block and it is about half what a ghash should make.  So if you have idle btc and want some cloud hash you can buy at CEX.io and then get out later.  If you are able to get out while the price it higher than you bought then you can make x2.

I usually buy around .0037 and sell around .0038 with an auto sell.  I look at like earning interest on the BTC and it can hash for you.  Trick is to make sure sell above what you paid.

Flamers can ignore me please.

Is there any way to easily *remotely* monitor these boxes?  I've got 2 of them with address like 192.168.1.x.  That's all good and fine when I'm on the home network, but when I go out of town I'm not on the home network.  So how do I get from them "from the outside"?
I use TeamViewer.

Care to elaborate on that in more details?

I was thinking about a setup with some DynDNS service if the router supports it. Not having any Antminer (yet), does a S3 support any DynDNS in its network setup by itself?

I have 9 AntMiner S3's and they all stopped hashing about 30 minutes ago.  All were at the same temperature they've always been at, 40-44c.  No modifications.  No overclocking.  They've been running for days without issue.  The Miner Status page no longer shows the ASIC info, with all 3 sections empty.  Did I get hacked in some way?  What the heck is going on?  I'm obviously very distressed right now.

I'm not sure what system/kernel log info is relevant, but I see this entry below, which seems to be discovery OK, but disconnected.  I don't have a working S3 to compare logs.

Another reason people are hoping for newer cgminer. The not falling back issue was present in some older versions. Some others had not returning to a higher priority pool. I suppose setting up a serial connection is easier then direct USB so they go with what they know. Soon though this should get upgraded and that problem should either disappear or would need fixed in the main branch.

It is coming just not out yet.

Hi, has anyone volt modded the s3 ?  i know that the s1 was made more efficient and less of a power hog, was wondering if anyone has had success doing the same to the s3 ?  thanks

I almost at breaking even point on ROI on 4 antminer s3! Bitmain u rock!

It's all gravy from September 2014 and onwards! This was the best purchase of mining hardware that I ever done!

I am still trying to ROI on 3 hurricane x3's...but I am gonna hold in there...

Petamine is a dud...payouts are shit. Anybody know of any good sha256 cloud mining services that beat the price on a antminer s3 per gh/s?


The hashlets are so so...profits not as good as I hope but I might have them pointed to the wrong pool...


 I Know i will get flamed but I like Nicehash.  They are paying 0.0279 at the moment which is over the .021 my calc does /thash.  All I do is set the password to p=0.025 and if they have work that pays more than that amount it lets my miners connect and I get the higher paying workloads.  Otherwise I just mine on ghash.

Just how i roll

Enough with the Nicehash spam already!

The last line contradicts itself by my opinion and helps me to prove my point that after ROI the S3s will be useless.

How will those group buy SP 30's do ROI wise?  I have not run the numbers, but with the specs off by a bit wondering if you will profit?

I'll pay .60 each for anyone who wants to sell their B6 or B7 - but it would have to ship tomorrow. Smiley

.60 is too low .

 I sold 2 for .65 they ship on tues  the 26th.


 if you order an in hand miner that will do 231 freq it is a premium of more then .2btc over one that ships on sept 20th


 So .65 is closer to the correct price not .6

I have 2

478gh  s=3's   on zenpool .

 I may sell you one at a good price. 

I am don't have any more power to add hardware...I am going cloud for now on until bitmain releases something cheap and good with low power like say 1 th/s with 400 watts of power for $350...maybe next year?

don't use the same pool on the top line.

 I use 3 pools on 3 s-3's   all in different orders'  prevents the problem you had.


also protects against an intentional bad luck attack.  since the attacker would not attack 3 pools at the same time.

I didn't know a pool issue would make the Chain/ASIC info go away on the Minus Status page, but I was obviously wrong, because they are coming back online.  The P2Pool I was using had an issue.  But why didn't it failover, etc... This was weird.  I've had pools stop responding before and never had them respond this way.   It was actually a routing and/or DNS issue.  Sorry for my crazy post.  I was having a miner panic attack...  Everything is fine now.  Yep, I feel like a dumb a$$...

Sorry for stating the obvious but did you try changing the pool settings? 9 miners can't all go defective at once, but if you use the same pool on all of them maybe the pool is dead.
