One of my S3's overclocks like a beast!

The other sadly doesn't suffer the same fate! it's hashing at 430 at 218, any higher and the rate drops!

Make sure to keep that beast cool (sub 35C pref), they really don't like getting warm when you run them at 237/250MHz (hash rate starts dropping and you might get and x or two after 10h+ of running)

I don't see it that way. I see it as part of the risk if you offer paid utilities to someone. The rental agreement should include provisions to restrict or prohibit mining if the "landlord" doesn't want to pay for mining (or grow lamps, for that matter) as part of the electric.

Most criminals don't see it that way. Justifying their crimes with clever imagination doesn't reduce the burden they dump upon their neighbors one tiny bit. We all end up paying for your bullshit. Taking electricity from educational institutions makes it 10 worse.

Most dorm rooms could only handle a miner or two at the most. I don't see it any different than a TV plugged in or a xbox or refrigerator or stereo or lava lamp or any other type of entertainment item. I don't think it's ever going to become a data center of equipment. Nobody is taking anything, as people pay for the dorm and my son paid about $11000 a year for room and board at Notre Dame. His dorm room was built in 1928 shared it with 3 others and they had a total of 3 outlets for all 3 to share. It had no a/c and even one miner would have been hard to run but would have used no more electric than the tv, computers, refrigerator.

Your are kidding aren't you...? Surely you know how much electricity a miner draws ??

An s1 miner uses 380 watts minimum at the wall, a TV or xbox or fridge would only use a fraction of that..
Its stealing power whichever way you look at it and I'm sure the Uni's are starting to wise up to all of this now..

This is gonna be a long weekend waiting for my S3's. They made a stop over in Alaska so no worries about shuffling around Shenzhen at least. Grin

Same here! Mine are on UPS flight #63 en route to Louisville Worldhub. Its going to be a long weekend indeed.
Wonder how many S3's are on these daily flights?! Grin

Wish I could buy one of these but as a poor university student I definitely can't. My tuition of $4,800 could definitely buy some mining power.. Lol

If you live in a dorm with "FREE" electricity, you might be able to work a deal with someone. You host their miners and you get a cut of the earnings. Grin

When my son goes back to school in August, I'm sending him my S1's to run for me in his dorm room.

Stealing from our universities! Brilliant. That is an excellent lesson to teach your kids.

You know those universities and all of society still have to pay for that electricity and that consumption takes away from other areas the university could use the funds? That electricity does not just come free out of thin air. It really has to be paid for. Just because it is hard to account for this consumption doesn't mean it is somehow 'free'.

Is burdening our universities with this extra expense really worth the few pennies in bitcoin you will receive? The one part of society that can least afford loss of resources is our educational system.

What a dick.

I invite the entire bitcoin hashing community to call out this bad and criminal behavior of using other people's 'free' electricity. This is mere theft of a profoundly irresponsible nature. Please stop stealing electricity for hashing.

I don't see it that way. I see it as part of the risk if you offer paid utilities to someone. The rental agreement should include provisions to restrict or prohibit mining if the "landlord" doesn't want to pay for mining (or grow lamps, for that matter) as part of the electric.

I just recall my dormroom 20 years ago and I (and a roommate) could never have put up with the noise and heat from an S1 for more than 5 minutes.

s-1's are very quiet if they are undervolted via pencil mods and down clocked to freq 275 hash at 140gh with 180 watts.

I ran 3 at 420 gh and 560 watts for 2 months. in a friends office. He has reduced power rates as per his lease agreement. 84 percent of 15 cents a kwatt drops him to 2.4 cents a kwatt.

Supposedly colleges all across the US are cracking down on this and prohibiting miners in the dorms this coming Fall semester. Some did so this past Spring and current Summer sessions. I recently picked up some S1s and PSUs from students returning to college because they could not have them there in the dorms.

Ha, I had 35-40 laptop antenna's I threw out a few months ago when I moved. Oh well, anyone who has access to an old scrap laptop could pull one out of there.

So....anyway...for those of you that offered meaningful advice...thank you. I ordered some of these

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DP64JRG/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1

And will let you know what they do for WiFi reception when I get batch 5 miners and install. The U.fl pigtails and antenna combo is ridiculously inexpensive, so I figured I'f give them a whirl and share what happens on the forum.

That is a lot of discarded shares, how does that work out?

Does anyone know how to change the command line arguments ran from cron for cgminer on antminer s3? I want to add scan-time and lower the queue, I'm getting way too many discarded it does not look good. Hashrate is steady and HW is low, but the discarded work on one of the miners is ridiculous

PM Me. I've been trying to find someone to discuss this with for a few hours now. Default queue setting on the S3 is 4096, which just seems insane. I've been playing with adding scantime and expiry with little result. I have not touched the queue yet. I'm waiting to see if anyone knows my BMT set it so high to begin with.

Hey,

Does anyone know if its possible to monitor your ants from another location?

I'm going on holiday soon and I wanna be able to monitor them.

I know about team viewer, and that is one option, but that means leaving my PC on the whole time.

Thanks

The only way to access them that I know of is Team Viewer or Logmein or similar. Yes - it does require leaving your PC on.

You can bookmark them in google, then you can log in remotely from another google/android device.

Also If you are using slush, then you can bookmark the slush page as well, then view your workers.

Which "them" are to be bookmarked in Google and how does one bookmark something in Google? Can you please elaborate on this method?

sorry bookmarking the S1/S3 miners only works on your own network.(you can bookmark the miner address)(192.168.1.99)

Port forwarding on your router, is the way to go with these.

Bookmarking your slush account on google chrome works a treat for reviewing your account and your workers.

On the end of the search bar you should see a white 5 point star, this is your bookmark selector, it goes yellow when the search line is bookmarked.

Thanks.

No changes needed. Just configure port forwarding on your router.

thanks I ended up figuring it out!

you changed the root password on it I hope. Changing the port for SSH to something else other than 22 or 2222 would help minimize the brute force ssh attack scans.

Yes, I did both of those things. But that's to make it secure, not to make it work. That's why I didn't mention them specifically.

I also flashed my 2 S3s today, one remains at a constant 441GHs as it was before, the other has dipped to 436Ghs (from 441). Not a lot of difference but I don't understand why the firmware upgrade would do that. Readings taken after 6 hours after upgrade.

Note to underperforming S3 owners:

I have one S3 that was underperforming at ~420 Gh, i tried to 'boost" it up by moving to 225mhz-no change, but no high errors either.
So, i flashed with todays firmware-and it jumped to 455-457Gh, WU 6450-6470
Conclusion: NEW firmware is beneficial to at least some underperforming ants
allright, Bitmain! Thanks

What does "WU 6450-6470" stand for?

WU: The Work Utility defined as the number of diff1 shares work / minute
This is basically what determines your pool shares, hence the payment: higher WU=higher payout all other things being equal.

Thanks. Is there a certain ideal or optimum WU figure that corresponds to a particular hash rate (i.e. optimum WU per GH/s) then. I mean, how does one know that he/she is getting the optimum WU for a given hash rate?
