Is that a typo?  If you had hw errors ~ 40% then you had something seriously wrong with your machine or settings.

Just seen that, is corrected in my post above  Wink

I've put an updated AntS3 update archive in my binaries git hub of latest 4.9.2 cgminer.
For details and installing: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS3

It's an update to the previous AntS3 release I did:

Code:
2015-Jul-7 Update cgminer-ants3-4.9.2-94e04f6-2.tgz
---------------------------------------------------
Update the cgminer init.d script to run ntpd a few times trying to set the date

Add more frequencies to the Web Advanced Settings tab
Warning, the higher frequencies marked with a warning can risk damage

Tested and running on my pool of course Smiley

Really thanks for the good work! Have updated all my S3 and S3+ to the latest version and running stable for more than 24h now  Cool
Better infos on status page, hw errors have dropped 0.0047% and the system load is also reduced 0.62 0.61 0.65

...

Thanks for all your work on this and the pool kano.

Just one question, will it work on all of the firmware or is it geared toward just the latest 1 or 2 releases?

Either way, it's on my to do list.
Should work on any S3/S3+ firmware
I just checked (again) bitmaintech.com and there's no new firmware there since January, so yeah should be OK.
Just be sure to check and save the settings to make sure it runs with the settings you had before.

The frequency settings list is in /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/cgminer/cgminer.lua

The frequency settings I put in there came from their firmware - I didn't actually delete any of their settings that were in my file.

You can just edit that file if you want or:
If you want me to add more in that's easy enough to do for a next release.
To see what is in your AntS3 before the changes, look in /rom/usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/cgminer/cgminer.lua
If you paste a link to a pastebin copy of that I can add the extras that are in yours (but not in mine) into the next update I do.

The files that I change and are in the archive, you can see the original file just by adding /rom/ on the front of it


Just updated to your version. BIG THANK YOU! My "Best share" works now, along with several new things that my old Jan 2015 firmware didn't show.

Much appreciated Smiley


One thing though, the difficulty isn't showing up with your version. Any ideas on that?

thank you for the easy instructions to upgrade my s3.  Within 15 minutes in my web interface I saw marked improvement with best share and it seems to be speedier too.

I use M's Miner Monitor v5.2 and it shows ERROR still for the s3 that I upgraded.  

Is there something I need to change within the config you posted so that Miner Monitor can observe it?

You need to add the ip address of the machine running the monitor to the API Allow field on the Miner Config tab, that's what I had to do.

Just updated my S3+, couple issues:

1)  Under API allow, if I use W:[my local ip address], then CryptoGlance reports the S3+, but the web page doesn't show any stats under Miner Status.  If I use W:127.0.0.1, then it shows stats under Miner Status, but CryptoGlance shows the S3+ as dead.
Right so you use both, since you want both to have access ...
W:127.0.0.1,W:[my local ip address]
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/API-README#L18

If you had it before as W:0/0 anyone on the planet could change your miner to mine for them if they had network access and found it ... e.g. your neighbours if you have Wifi and they can hack into it Smiley
I also have no idea what Bitmain did to the API - but it SHOULD ONLY give access to what you tell it to have access as how I designed and wrote the API and api-allow

On a side note, I have a wifi antenna installed on my S3+, but I can't access the web interface unless I plug an ethernet in and access that IP instead. Same can be said for using my SSH and SCP utilites. However, when using the wifi, the unit still hashes fine and all that. What gives?


I had similar results and although it was mining, I was never able to access my S3+ web interface via WiFi. After many hours of research and trying I finally decided to use a router as a wireless switch. It required another piece of hardware but accomplished the desired result while maintaining access via the web interface and ssh.

I just restarted my miners and none of them are showing best share- I even updated all my S3+ to the latest firmware and same thing - its so weird, they show accepted rates and stuff, but no best shares, on multiple machines... any ideas?

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s201/sh/36969941-5b07-430c-bfc5-ef0a186d0ae7/814511c9f20ec3aa/res/df38b016-068f-4539-a8fb-4d96e3a1e04b/skitch.png

It used to always show - now none - so wierd.
That's bitmains cgminer fork driver - it's got quite a few problems ...

Use mine.

one miner trying to do through ssh getting that dumb middle of man attack warning about rsa keys, whats the easiest way to get past that? or is there a .bin I can flash directly into luci?

thx
Yeah each time you flash your S3/S3+ it will get a new rsa key.

You have to remove the entry from in your local computer .ssh/known_hosts that it refers to in the error, so it will save the new one.

Your first problem is understanding what the term 'cgminer' means Tongue

The cgminer you get from bitmain and from *hash is not the master cgminer, it is a fork with many and varied known ignored problems.

Master cgminer will not support extranonce for a number of reasons, including we don't support alt-coins and the stratum change adds another MITM security risk attack vector.

So if you wish to avoid the, long well known, problems with the non-master cgminers - use the master cgminer from me.
But no it does not support that stratum change just for that proxy pool.

For details and installing: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS3

This has been tested and run on both an old AntS3 and one of the later AntS3

I don't have an AntS3+ but I suspect it should work fine there also.

The menu frequency settings in the "Miner Configuration" "Advanced Settings" web interface includes default settings for both S3 and S3+

I've, of course, tested it on my pool https://kano.is/

It should also be OK on p2pool since it's the same code related to p2pool as in my AntS1 and AntS2 releases

Please give it a try and let me know if anyone has any trouble with it on AntS3 or AntS3+

Once the miner is running I can do everything with him what I want to do except of turning off the PSU.
Everbody say that it makes no sense and I have to agree but it is like it is!
I have given up on it...thanks to anybody for the kind help.
