WANTED: Active dev to fix & re-write p2pool in C

Quote from: MyRig on October 12, 2014, 07:30:42 PM

@IYFTech,

I will look into this. That is all I can promise at this time. Firmware process takes many steps than just 1 person type something into the linux computer and compile it. There are many other precautions that will take to make sure any changes made be functional and does not cause any other unforeseen side effects. (Again, will look into this and get back to you)

Again, the same answer as the last 2 months. it does not take two months to do a cgminer upgrade to an image file & test it, and even if it did, why did you promise it within two weeks then? You managed to do it within days for the S4.....even though it still doesn't work properly...... Roll Eyes

I will continue to post requesting what has been promised until you deliver. It's annoying, I know. But so is having hashing work stolen & being ignored about it.

EDIT: Please delete your claim that the S4 is p2pool compatible in the OP - it is not. Far from it.

We are still here... we didn't go offline yet. You may see us come online, offline time to time. may stay online status but may have no one actually online.

Now that you are, can you explain why S2 users are still waiting after 2 months for the fix you promised within two weeks?

That's exactly the problem: user "Bitmain" is not answering any questions about the matter whatsoever, & it was that user who promised the fix 2 months ago. What does it take to get a straight answer from anyone there? Bitmain publicly promised the S2 users this would be done - but since then there has been nothing but silence, while in the meantime users are having their hash rate stolen because of it - are you going to compensate them? Of course not.

I'm sure that if your S2 farm suddenly had it's hash rate redirected in the same manner, you'd provide a fix as quick as a flash, do your customers not deserve the same treatment? After all, they paid you.

Why does Bitmain sell to pcfli?

He lied about S4 release date to sale his stock of LKETC's "BTW, i have confirmed with the owner of bitmain and lketc that the S4 will not released before 7/10/2014"

Hes now accusing Bitmain of mining with hardware to the point products are not new, and no different then his month + old miners. ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9175100 )

Do you really have a relationship with pcfli? https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/pcfli-253683 or is he just a buyer. He makes it sound like he knows owner and inside info.

He doesn't have any relationship as far as I know. He's a reseller of items who runs a large hosting farm now. In the post you said, he's trying to say why his products are better than S4s so of course he will say they're in the negative. He probably knows nothing [because everything he's said is wrong and also benefits him].

Have you powered the unit(s) with the burned psu on 220-240V or on an ~110V line?

I have powered all on 220-240V.

(This version still requires you to manually set the pool side diff to "2048" at Eligius and Ghash.)

How does one set the pool side diff to 2048 on the S4 to mine on Eligius?

@Hexor

Your case is being reviewed and being processed. Please wait for a response from the rep you contacted.

@S4 cusotmers:

Firmware Located at the below URL is the updated firmware, however, it will reset your previous setting.
MD5: 506A7AEACC0FF853A351AC3B20ABB1AF
(This version still requires you to manually set the pool side diff to "2048" at Eligius and Ghash.)
PLEASE USE THE S4'S BUILT-IN FIRMWARE UPGRADE SCREEN TO UPGRADE

https://bitmaintech.com/files/download/initramfs.bin.SD-20141003.tar.gz

If you need to re-image (recreate) the MicroSD card to the factory setting, please use the following software to reimage or overwrite your microSD card.

https://bitmaintech.com/files/download/SD-partition-tool.zip

* If you placed the S4 purchase at http://www.bitmain.com or http://www.bitmaintech.com and did not enter any shipping address during the checkout, more than likely you selected the hosting option during the checkout process. (It gives you multiple places to advise you, you are purchasing the S4 and the hosting plan)

If you accidentally selected the hosting option, please contact [email protected] with your order ID# from the same email address you made the purchase from. One of the Bitmain reps will be in contact with you shortly. (Please contact immediately after placing the order, as it can't be reversed if the miners are sent to the hosting facilities)

Thank you

That sounds promising. Hopefully a firmware update will be sufficient then??

We can hope, but time will tell... It seems to have made a difference for me, at least on eligius. The pool statistics seem to be in agreement with what I'm seeing on the S4... so that is positive.

It is incredibly misleading that shipping to the hosting facility is selected by default.

Looks like they at least added this to the top of the shipping page:

Quote

Note:
We offer you two delivery options 'Direct Shipping' and 'Umisoo Hosting' when you place an order. Please make sure you choose correct delivery option before confirming your order. Umisoo Hosting means you are agreeing to host miner in China.

Not sure why they wouldn't just change regular shipping to default.

Its not misleading when there is a huge, huge popup box explaining what it is, what you're agreeing to and what the options are. Its the default because its popular with the local market.

You get this covering your screen if you select hosting:

Quote

Please read the Hosting Service Agreement carefully!

Terms
Umisoo would like to apply for the authorization:

* View your email address

* View Bitmain Order ID and Order Content of which will be hosted at Umisoo

* View tracking number of the orders which will be hosted at Umisoo

Instruction

1. If you chose Umisoo Hosting Service, product will be delivered directly to the hosting center of Umisoo. Shipping dates can be found on bitmaintech.com .

2. Before you chose Umisoo Hosting Service, please found the Terms of Service of Umisoo Hosting Service at https://www.umisoo.com

3. You will be able to set up pool info, worker…etc, after Umisoo receives the products from bitmaintech.com .

Then you have to check a tick box saying the following in order to go to the next page:

Quote

I have read, understood and accept the application of authorization

You would also realise its hosting because you never entered an address.

For what it is worth, I was able to cross compile the version of cgminer found here, https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer, for the Beagle Board Black they use as the controller. That version has some commits after the October 3rd date of the latest S4 firmware and I was hoping for the changes CK was talking about earlier in the thread. This has seemed to address the issues with eligius for me and the S4 is averaging 2119.47 GH/s over the course of 9h 55m 26s.
