It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency, since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site; Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in - your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
Under ASIC status, one chip is always an "x"? | Will the miner ever beep? |
- There is a faulty chip - nothing we can do. Hash rate will be affected by ~1%. | - No, the beeper was removed on the S4+. The Miner configuration option of "Beeper Ringing" does not do anything. |
Under ASIC status, one row is almost all "x"es? | I can connect to the Antminer but the status page is blank? |
- One board may have dropped temporarily. Try hard resetting the miner by powering it on and off. | - You may have entered an incorrect miner setting causing cgminer to crash. Post a screenshot of your configuration page if still unsure. |
How do I reset settings to default? | What temperatures should I aim for? |
- Use a paper clip to press the reset button - located next to the LEDs and ethernet connector - down for 5-10 seconds. The miner will then reset with stock settings. | - Try and achieve <75°C for best hash rates, and <85°C for long lifetimes. Temperatures over 90°C will cause an overheat warning to be issued and over 95°C will cause the miner to stop. |
How do I change the login password? | Where can I get the latest firmware? |
- Navigate to System -> Administration. Enter the current password and enter your new one twice. | - Download from Bitmain's site. |
What is the SSH login? | How can I tell what firmware version I have now? |
- Username "root", password "admin". | - Navigate to System -> Overview and look at "File System Version". |
What do the LEDs on the front mean? | How do I install the latest firmware? |
- The green LED will flash when mining, and the red LED will remain on while in an error or overheat state. | - Download firmware as above. Navigate to System -> Upgrade and click "browse". Select the downloaded file and click "Flash image". Do NOT interrupt this process or you will brick the unit. |
