Topic: ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread - page 386. (Read 710164 times)
Figured out how to tell which Firmware version you are currently on. Look at the Kernel Log, the end of the first line. Before I re-flashed ir read "#134 Fri Jul 11", after the flash it was "#140 Mon Jul 21" And the corresponds with the date in the name of the flash file. antMiner_S320140721.bin
So i was just taking a look at the cgminer process on the S3.
855 root 33840 R cgminer --bitmain-options 115200:32:8:18:218.75:1106 -o stratum+tcp://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx:3333 -O xxxx.xxxx:x -o stratum+tcp://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx:3333 -O xxxxx.xxxxxxx:x --api-listen --api-network --bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --queue 4096
I'm mostly interested in the --queue 4096. Most pools tell their miners to set the queue to 0 or 1.
Thoughts?

Bump for thoughts on --queue 4096
Prior to making these changes, I saw ~440GH/s on one S3 with exceptionally low HW errors, WU about 6200 on stock clocks. The other S3 refuses to even hash properly at stock clocks, so I run it at 212.5. With that I get ~430GH/s, very low HW errors, WU about 6100.
Bought two more S3's from Batch 5 this morning but soon after got a message from Bitmain saying:
"You have bought B1~B3 of S3. We will issue you a 10% value coupon. However, you have the option to give up the coupon and apply a 7.7% refund..."
But I bought from Batch 5 - any ideas on this one..??

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

Not really helping mine. If I OC I can get a good hash rate for a while but eventually it just tanks and over time the average floats down to really pathetic levels. If I leave it at stock it hits 400-410 and that's it. These things are really temperamental and I am very underwhelmed. Especially after having dealt with the S1's which were just so solid. Reboots cause random x's and -'s in the gui and occasionally mine will come out of a reboot and think it has no blades at all and never start hashing until I reboot again. That stuff is just weird and annoying.

May I ask what frequency you are running in the new firmware? Just take the defaults? I upgraded to the new firmware also on both my S3s. So far one I have a solid 440G, the other one doesn't look as hot at 420Gh/s and bouncing around. Maybe I need to give it some time.
So i was just taking a look at the cgminer process on the S3.

Next question to bitmain will batch 4 have the new firmware?
I rather not do the update to firmware. Hate to brick it.

Don't get too excited, same here but after 8 hours I'm back down to 414.00 local, 401 pool-side.
The new Firmware is up https://www.bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=007201407180243004432lBQW28O0633

Just flashed my two S3's with the new firmware. No more beeping! The fiancee will be most pleased!

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.

New firmware sounds good, Now only if UPS could take their finger out their arse and ship my package, That would be grand.

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.
When's the next price drop?

From the Antminer S3 Batch 4 you have an option to select your favourite shipping company.
You can choose from the list of DHL, UPS, EMS.
Selecting via EMS will make more delay and trouble in clearing customs.
DHL is fast and they charge more brokerage than UPS.
Oh ok, Thanks for the info. Mine was B3 so didn't have that option, At least they've added it now.
Cheers
DHL seems to be more picky with customs declaration, almost every single time I've had antminers sent with them they end up calling and asking questions about something in the invoice from bitmain, never had UPS contacting me except to inquire how I wanted to pay for the VAT.
Last time they gave me a call about why there was no shipping cost specified on the invoice since Bitmain hadn't filled in the "shipping included in price" number on the invoice or something.
Is there anything that can be done for this, its my B2 shipment that has been stuck in China customs forever, emailed Bitmain but noreply yet. This is while B3 on UPS is scheduled to arrive on Monday 07/28...

My B-1 shipment was stuck just like that. I emailed Bitmain and they said it will be ok. It took 5 days and then it cleared and I got them 2 days later. So it may take a bit but you will get them.
