hi everyone

I have received my Antminer S3 and able to power it up. But my IP address is different which is 10.0.0.X. Therefore I can't go to 192.168.1.99 to setup my miner. Can someone teach me how to set the IP address?

Thanks

You have to get into your network / router settings and change the settings in your network to accept the device. Or you can setup the device on another network (with the 192.168.1.99) and then take your machine to your place with all settings done at the other place

Thanks for the reply, and yes if btc climbs back to 600+ it certainly would help. Also yes, it is based quite heavily on ones personal situation of power costs/heat etc. Someone that pays .03/kwh has a much different look on things then someone paying 21/kwh. Me, I pay .07, not bad.

I've just been thinking, do you guys really calculate all costs concerning energy in or do you mean only the energy price alone with something like $0.07/kWh?

Here where I live the best price on energy I can get is €0.0435/kWh ~ $0.0577/kWh excl. VAT, but when calculating all additional costs for a whole year in (and we have a plethora of charges and taxes) it becomes €0.1147/kWh ~ $0.1520/kWh.

Something to consider when doing mining calculations.

In my case I am running my calculations based on US regulated Class-A 500A delivery.
Most of those prices you are reading about are indeed after fuel-surcharges, etc.

What is the default port I have to forward to access the antminer from a location other than the local network?
If I wanted to change the port how do i do it? vim /etc/config/cgminer??? The port is not in that config, do I have to add the line 'api_port' xxxx
Do i need to put in api-allow into the /etc/config/cgminer?
Is there any other options I need to put in the config to access the miner from a remote location? I want to use the Awesome Miner http://www.awesomeminer.com/ to monitor the fleet but I cant seem to access the miners with a vpn or by port forwarding.

Thanks for the help

EDIT: Used Hamachi to avoid port forwarding. Default port is 4028

As long as your smart enough to set it back to default you should no problems or difference if your not on the first firmware. If your still on day one firmware it won't hurt. Since I did the update I'm planning to see if I can get my miner under clocked a bit to quiet it down a bit more. I'm hoping to have 2 s3+'s in September to pick up the slack.

There is supposed to be a cgminer firmware update in 2 weeks and I haven't been in the right place to know if it tweaks anything else.

**I note setting default since v3 firmware does not do default speed on loading for whatever and you will get garbage speeds presumably if you weren't intentionally trying to overclock with 2 pci express plugs. Default is normal 440G.

I just got my batch 7 antminers, and wondering how exactly do I know which firmware I am on?

In the overview tab it shows this:
Firmware Version   OpenWrt Barrier Breaker r38031 / LuCI Trunk (svn-r9909)
Kernel Version   3.10.12

Should I flash it with this firmware? antMiner_S320140811.bin   add frequency advanced setting.

If it's B7, it should already have the latest FW (0811), no?

The first line of Status/Kernel Log should show the date of the firmware, if I remember correctly.

I think the only difference between these FWs is how the frequencies are accessed and applied.

I'm sorry that I'm a little bit late to the party - but can someone explain the benefit of updating the firmware? I saw it mentioned several times but not sure what the improvement is with it. I just got 4 new S3's in the mail today, so going through the motions of setting them up - but if someone could explain what is going on - I would really appreciate it!!!

Thanks,

Brian

PS Take pitty on me - I've been working day and night shifts, and I'm exhausted

Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

I don't think s3 testing would increase the hash rate difficulty that high , but who knows.

Good news Grin

Yeeeeah. I really hope whoever controls that hashcannon decides to be nice the community over the next few weeks.
Either that, or a manufacturer doing large-scale testing before shipment. Last 25% jump was admittedly BMT testing S3 hashboards.

In fact, maybe this last dip will be our last on our way to a difficulty DECREASE.

Womp.

In here : https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020140813125800214NBU85kWt0672
frequency=225 MHz

Bitmain now announce the S3+, which is a revised version of S3 running stably at 453GH/s (frequency=225 MHz), while consumes 355 Watt power at the wall.

anybody here tried in frequency=225 MHz for S3 B6?

So we just had almost a 20% rise in difficulty. Still early on this one but how many here think preordering an s3 for Sept 20 Ship date ( not delivered ) is going to still be a good buy? I am not going to argue if the s3 is the best option, asking who here thinks it will likely break even?

Sure anything can happen but would you say you will see a profit at .58 per s3 if.

Just had a 20% dif increase
If this next one ends up being ~ 20%
The next ends up being 20%
and the one just after receiving the s3 unit ends up being 20%

Still thinking .58 btc is a good price?

You can tell by the way I have worded it I don't think there is a prayer, but welcome anyone that wants to pose thoughts on the scenario above.

Personally with Winter coming the s3 byproduct is useful to me for the next 5 months, I have decent electric costs, I don't even mind breaking about even as I believe one day something major will break and I am content accumulating btc as a hobby instead of buying it direct with usd.

Just curious on what others think.

Thanks in advance.

Hey if you want to include you own scenario great!

My problem is I don't think people realize how much even a few weeks means to roi.

I really think it has a lot to do with your reinvestment strategy and personal situation.
I'm calculating based on the exponential rising average of 20%. I think this is a pretty solid model through Dec. 2014.

I don't think that now is the best time to be purchasing hardware, but I think the chance of the future being any brighter is nigh impossible.
Adding two B8 S3+ units to my farm doesn't pose much of a threat to my income at current difficulties and carries the possibility of adding an extra .8BTC to my wallet after ROI by Christmas.

I'm counting on a few things:

1) BMT ships on time.
2) 20% rises.
3) Existing power supply.

If the price of BTC skyrockets above $650 before BMT ships, then I probably would have been better trading to fiat and purchasing BTCGarden equipment that ships now.
That was the case a few weeks ago when BTCGarden was still selling at .85/GH and prices were up.

I've heard about Spondoolies daily production rate, Black Arrow getting back in the game, FC shipping tubes and new 22nm chips that are going to crush us.
I still think none of this will come to fruition for another few months.

I am wondering the same thing....and secondarily where can I find a detailed procedure to upgrade mine??

How many people have updated the firmware? When I did mine, it would max out around 100G total. I ended up reset the miner and starting over from scratch. What has been you experience with the firmware?

Meh... I upgraded and did see some gain as well, but I'm looking forward to improved performance on the S3+ or v2 of the S3. At least that infernal beeping is gone!

I was slightly disappointed that the S2 wasn't upgraded to something more robust. My guess is that they canceled those because of all the problems people had with them. Shame, would have been nice to get something 3 or 4 th/s out of that unit with some kind of a newer model. Bitmain seems to be taking a step back here going again for lower speed in a smaller form factor.

+1 for the new firmware, but I wanted more efficient hardware

Has there been anything official about canceling the S2 upgrade kit? The only reason I believe the S1 'Upgrade' kit hit the market so fast is largely due to the fact that it's pretty much the same as an S3. There's a little daughter board that will adapt to the S1s TPlink controller, but other than that its just two S3 blades.

An S2 upgrade would require a different PCB with backplane connector, etc. I'm sure they're been focused on fixing the DC issue with the S3 before they move onto selling what's supposed to be near enterprise-grade hardware.
