Something to brighten everyones day/evening.

Think this is a good sign.

Difficulty w/8 period moving average.

You obviously haven't seen the projected numbers for the next difficulty adjustment. Doom AND gloom! And it's really going to screw up that nice chart.

So some of my miners require a restart about every 12-17 hours - they occasionally show up with the dreaded "x" but then upon a restart they are all good to go,

I'm really tired of having to restart them with the gui, is there anyone out there that can help me with an automated reboot option in the

"Scheduled Tasks
This is the system crontab in which scheduled tasks can be defined."

that i can save and autorestart the miners - once or twice a day lets say

12midnight and 12 midday?

Regards

loki.

I just added this to scheduled tasks under existing line
0 8 * * * /sbin/reboot
0 20 * * * /sbin/reboot

Others suggest this
0 8,20 * * * /etc/init.d/cgminer restart

Restart being safer, but reboot is quicker. I really see the drop off in my hashing graph with restart, but not with reboot.

restart only restarts the cgminer process reboot does a complete reboot of the os

Both of your cron entries are correct for 8 am and pm, the question was for every 12 hours

Thanks guys !

happy to go with 8pm/am or 12pm/am - very much appreciated

Received my 2 S3s yesterday. They have been happily hashing away at 440 and 460 stock. Guess I need to overclock and see what happens. I've seen a range of opinions on overclocking these. How have the later batches been? These are Batch 5.

random your 460 will probably do over 500 at 250

Way to go BITMAIN.

You sent me an S1 controller board instead of an S3. Unless there's something I need to do to get this working.

I got in to configure, and also updated the firmware to the latest you have posted. However on the status screen, it says the frequencies are 350 (like an S1, not 218.75 like it should be for an S3). It's reporting twice the number of ASICs, but half of them are x's. And hash speed is all 0.

Does anyone have any idea how to reprogram this so it'll work as an S3?? Or am I going to have to wait another 2 weeks while they send the RIGHT part for the unit that wasn't working right out of the box??

Another 2 weeks. Another diff. Sheesh.

At least my other 2 units are working reasonably well (although they're now hashing at around 220 GH/s - consistently. Well below what was promised.)

Hi bluebottle73,
May you PM your email box to look into, Our truly apologies for the inconvenience.

Thank you!

I would if you know you're actually going to put it up for sale. I'll get lazy and end up with a pile of say ummm Antminer U2's I for sure was going to sell..lol. Now I just give them away.
But hell yeah your're not missing anything but more free time.

Quote from: dsheaffer on August 12, 2014, 08:50:11 PM

I have an "ROI" question. When you all calculate your return, are you considering the fair market value of your miners/PSU's etc. The reason I ask is that I have purchased 15 miners (1 Avalon, 7 S1s and 7 S3s) and sold 8 (just have the S1s now). After electricity cost, PSU cost, WiFi antenna cost, and everything else I can think of, I have an ROI of ~13% in 5 months (~31% annualized) when I consider the current fair market value of the hardware I currently own. To me, this is a GREAT ROI...what am I missing?

'The right to privacy matters'

and I got freq 243.75 to work now

option 'freq_value' '1306' #243.75M
option 'chip_freq' '243.75'
option 'timeout' '16'

option 'freq_value' '1206' #231.25M
option 'chip_freq' '231.25'
option 'timeout' '17'

both extra ones to try.

so we have

250
243.75
237.50
231.25
225
218.75 > stock should do 441gh
212.5
206.25
200

Hmm
I'm averaging 453 on two@ 225 over 23hrs. Need to get the Kill A Watt back on it to check at the wall and compare to 231 if I can average higher.
I'll try 231 again to see what happens. Like I said it was strange. No issues on your HW errors for sure..lol Mine are bad above 231 so far. Need to test more.

Let me know how that Freq goes. Mine never averaged over 440 at 231.25.
225 was actually higher GH/s for me. Yeah.. it was strange. No HW errors, but 225 ended up being better. I may try it again.

So if you have 2 "other units" (I suggest you have tho S3s working normally, right?) why don't try to clone the SD card content from normal S3 to SD card of S1's controller? Maybe it will work? Roll Eyes

That's the kind of thing I'm thinking of, but not sure of the procedure to do that. I'm not put off by a challenge, just don't know where to start..
