If you can see the bestshare it seems like you have the latest cgminer update by Kano inside
Thanks for the input guys. I am leaving this one running at 250 for now. I think it has the Kano update.
I run my S3+ at 250 also, it stays solid at 500GH. Runs really well with kano's updates software package, too. I will be hosting some gear pretty soon, and when I do I'll bring the S3+ back out because you can just set it and forget it.
If you have the S3+, it will hash exactly at 503GH/s at 250MH. Been like that for the last 1.5 years. Rock Solid STABLE!
I have had some of my S3+ running on 250 for several month without any issues. They need ~50W more from the PSU.
I just didn't want to risk damaging it if the rewards were not much better. According to the dashboard of the s3 my current avg hash was 513
At 250M mone would hash around 498-502Ghs over the course of 3-4 days.

By all means if you want to try then its upto you but youd need to run it at the new frequency for a day or so to see what the average hashrate is so you can see the difference.
Ok good to know...I will leave it where it is. It seems pretty stable at that. I turned it up a little yesterday but didn't know how much of a difference it made so I turned it back down.
Personally I wouldn't go anymore than 250M I ran one of my S3+ for a couple of months and one of the chips is now gone. Now got both of them at 243M and have been stable for a month or so. Both hashing at around 480Ghs.
Like I said I know I won't get rich but any money is free money since I didn't have to buy the gear or pay for power. That is why I wanted the most bang for my worker. I setup my rig to go to Kano. It has the ability to set the frequency up to 300 I only have it at 250 now. What is the best setting for that? Thanks again for the suggestion for the pool.
No pool will make you rich with an S3
Thats sad but true! You should find some of his brothers to get a little bit more with free electricity
I'd definitely say kano.is :

No pool will make you rich with an S3, you can also try solo mining

So I am new to all this and trying to learn. Someone gave me a modded s3+ with wifi. Where should I point this thing to do the best. Electricity is free and it is running off a 700W power supply with all connections. I know I won't get rich but with it running for 1 day and pointed at Nicehash it made like a $1. Excuse the ignorance but any info is appreciated. Thanks
Well updated to the latest firmware and then uploaded kanos update aswell and the HW rate has gone from 0.225% down to 0.011% so it must have been the old firmware that was the problem.
Mike, yea I ssh into it this morning and checked and both read 4.9.2 even though the gui says ones at 4.0.6 and the other is 3.8 something.
I'll risk updating the one that says 3.8something and then do kanos update again to see if it improves.

@ gt_addict, did you verify via command line the cgminer version?
Yes, I think an increased HW error rate results in less shares being submitted to the pool, therefore the pool will show you a reduced hash rate.
It could be just a difference in the two machines, but 0.2% error is pretty darn high. I overclocked my S3+ and its errors were less than 0.1% I'm pretty sure (or was it 0.01%?).

But:
So basically, do no trust the System info in the UI
Ah, well that must explain why he's done the kano updates but still thought he had the old cgminer version. I never checked the version in the gui, I always checked via ssh connection. Code:
root@AntminerS31:/usr/bin# cgminer -V
cgminer 4.9.2
cgminer 4.9.2
So basically, do no trust the System info in the UI
So I've just got to ignore the HW% and readings then. I suppose on the pool side nothing has changed in regards to rejected work but it's still annoying that the new one reads 0.25%hw and the one with other reads 0.002%hw. Obviously I just want to maximise my share on the pool. Would this be a factor on the hashrate the pool receives?
I've done kanos updates on both machines yet they both still show the cgminer versions I've mentioned previously in the software section.
Plus why are the HW%'s so different? They have been running about the same time since I turned them both on after booking up the new(second hand) s3+.

i know what you mean:
But:
Code:
root@AntminerS31:/usr/bin# cgminer -V
cgminer 4.9.2
cgminer 4.9.2
So basically, do no trust the System info in the UI
version you will see 4.9.0
Just shipped my last sold S3+ with Kano's cgminer update so I can't see it on my own but if I remember correct it should be the latest version 4.9.2 working after the upgrade?
I did check them this morning before work and both showed 4.9.2. But that still doesn't explain the high HW% compared to the other one.
