Watch out for the "Neg-Rep-Dogie-Police".....

Good stuff Lohoris,

I hope the whole Bitcoin community here will all get behind the cgminer developers - they deserve our support, as do the many customers who are running Bitmain units with known security issues & unknown software inside them.....

Nice to see more posts about this

Bumping this

BITMAIN - A couple questions please:

1) Why do you continue to ignore the request by the cgminer developers to release your code as you are morally & legally required to do so under the GPLv3 License Agreement?

2) The cgminer software that you are deploying ILLEGALLY with your software has SEVERE security flaws, including the stratum redirect issue - why are you NOT implementing the latest version to eliminate these issues?

These and other questions have been asked many times by many people across this forum, but you continue to ignore them, refusing to even comment, and by doing so you are not only breaking the law, but you are also demonstrating massive contempt towards the cgminer developers & the Open Source Community as well as creating suspicion as to your reasons/motives within the Bitcoin Community.

Until you decide to capitulate & do the honorable & legally binding - and above all, the RIGHT thing - I and others on this forum will continue to pursue a response/reply to the above questions.

I urge everyone on this forum to do the same, not only out of respect & gratitude to the cgminer developers who have given so much to the Bitcoin community FOR FREE under the GPLv3 Licensing Terms, but also to ensure the security of your own extremely vulnerable mining equipment purchased from Bitmain.

Thank you.

I've left negative feedback in his profile, I urge everyone else to do the same.
And not to buy his products, of course.
They should be banned altogether, but meanwhile that's a nice start.

HELP! My Antminer S3's suddenly stopped. I just received them three days ago. I got them configured and running easily. (I replaced an S1, so I was already familiar with the set-up). They worked fine for the last couple of days. Today they started beeping. When I go to the GHash.IO page, I can see the pool is still up and mining away. But for some reason, I'm no longer mining. When I log into each miner, and check the miner status tab, there are no stats. I already tried to power down and re-start them. What do you recommend I look at next to trouble shoot this? Thanks.

Ghash US1 went down, don't panic.

Yep, that was it. Not sure why my back-up didn't kick in (Slush pool). Maybe I had the wrong URL for that. So now I have us1.ghash.io:3333 as my first pool, and nl1.ghash.io:3334 as my second pool. The miners are buzzing again

Thanks

Ghash is our first "failover" pool (i.e. Pool #2).
Rather than using the URL for Ghash's US1 we use the IP.
We do this because in the past DNS (google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) have had issues correctly supplying the IP for that URL.
This makes the pool appear unavailable or "dead".
Below is a snapshot of our Worker #22's Miner status page and is an example of what to expect for hash rate when OC'ing to 237.5MHz with a customized Stratum Difficulty of 915.

Ghash's Netherlands server is on port 3334?

Best of luck.

If one pool goes down, always try a backup pool first to test its not the miner-pool configuration before moving on to more drastic steps.

The first pool is still running. I did add a back-up pool today, but it's not working either.

look at this screen shot. show me a screen shot of your page.

Are there any S3's left for sale anywhere? Huh

okay here are some s-3 options :

you can buy from a reseller.

you can buy a hosted one.

you can buy one from bitmaintech and wait for 30 days.

some math to consider. 1 unit at 450 earns about

.01147 btc a day for the next 2 days or so.

if we jump to 22729 it will earn about .009957 for 13 days or so.

so an order from bitmaintech means you do not hash for 33 days maybe 36 days.

that is more then
2 x .011470 = 0.02294
13 x .009957 = 0.12441
13 x ? = 0.10000 ?
5 x ? = 0.04000 ?

total -------------- 0.28735

that .28735 is a guess but it is close at todays prices that is about 143 usd lost

so to order from bitmaintech 2 units you lose about 285 usd waiting for hash power.

Is there a way we could update cgminer on the S3's ourselves? Just a thought

No, due to Bitmain refusing to abide by the GPLv3 License & release the code as mentioned in the bold post above. I suggest you email Bitmain & request that they do so immediately as many others are doing - including the cgminer developers Wink

We don't have the driver for it.

Which is what you want Bitmain to release. I see now thanks Cheesy

Hi,

Can someone point me to the right direction on how to customize my S3 (and some Cointerras too) to mine properly with P2Pool???

They are mining currently, but with around 15~20% less GH/s.

Thanks.

I am having an issue. It seems when I am overclocked I am having an issue where my average GHS is reading a low number. What is the problem? Is it an issue with the pool I am using(Slushs) or is an issue with my OC?

If I reboot my miner the issue will be fixed for a while. I just dont understand what the problem is.

I bet you just reset your router, your hash is fine, just the reported number isn't, reboot and your numbers will look correct.

if your hashing average is low on the pool, i would suggest to downclock your miner

In the meantime I'd like to know about the pool setup if running a couple of Antminers. From the S3 manual I can see it supports three mining pools and three pool balance options (Failover / Balance / Load Balance).

Can anyone please advise a strategy when running a couple of Antminers?

I guess most will just leave the default balance option (Failover)?
Let's say you have 6 Antminers, do you let them mine each on a separate pool?

I have been wondering this also. Is is bad to to use the same pool and same worker ID for 3 seperate miners? Should each miner if using the same pool, use a different worker ID?

it is probably better to use a different worker id for each miner (for troubleshooting), but they can mine to the same wallet. In Eligius, you can distinguish between workers by a simple _ like _myS3 (wallet underscore name).

No, it's absolutely no problem - using separate ID's just means you can monitor them separately Wink
