Topic: ANTMINER S4 Discussion and Support Thread - page 127. (Read 301481 times)

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.

My wrong S4 has a yellow led on near the power connector when you power on. It's the same behaviour?

Well, if you're happy - that's the most important thing 

I wouldn't be though, no offense 

Hey listen!  I'm just an average joe who bought an S4.  I've shared my success with GHash in the hope it might help someone else.   Carry on with the negativity if you wish but it is not providing anything to this topic!  It's all been said.   I'm Hashing, I'm happy pending firmware or replacement controller.

But most pools use vardiff. Didn't Bitmain test their units with any pools before shipping them? You should be able to use this thing with any pool you like, especially for that price. Sorry, but that's crap.

Good luck waiting for that firmware update too, from what I've read elsewhere on other Bitmain threads, customers have been waiting months for their firmware updates.....& still not got them.

EDIT: Reading back a few pages, what about this:


So if it's a hardware issue, no amount of firmware updates will fix it. The only way to fix this is to replace the under powered controller, is it not? Sounds to me like Bitmain didn't research enough & simply threw this thing together & shipped it out without testing it at all......nice.

No....  There is currently a bug which is affecting the S4 working with pools which have Variable Difficulty.
I was waiting for a firmware update but I understand the Chinese have been on Public Holiday for the last week so I decided to change from Eligius to GHash.io (which was the advice given last week).   At least I am mining at full speed pending a firmware update

Wait....so these things only work if you use ghash?

WTF. Nice one Bitmain. Not.

Have just signed up to ghash.io and followed the instructions.  Tricky site to navigate but should have done this a week ago when my S4 arrived.  
Have manually set the difficulty to 2048 and hashing perfectly at 2TH/s.  Confidence restored!  Would recommend this action

ATTENTION: "keep settings" is not working, after the update you have to change pools again!

Are the S4 working great?

our a lot of bugs

You're telling me to be more careful and Bitmain is trying to trick people into hoisting that are buying miners?

In the shipping NOTES I even added specific address for shipping...
 
Can you please explain MY CURRENT ORDER STATUS of the (2) S4 B1 miners I purchased that should have shipped 9/29/14?

Also why Bitmain has stopped all email communications & have forced me to air my business to the Bitcoin community?

Bitmain claims I purchased hosting....I actually logged into that host site Bitmain claimed my miners were @...linked my Bitmain account to the hosting site... and found NO miners! I even took a screenshot with todays date...

Please send me the 2 S4 B1 miners I purchased or transfer my BTC back into my bank!

Can you upload a screenshot of your slot unit

As I said, UPS is about 60% of the price for UK - choose that option.

You ordered the shipping to Umisoo Hosting
Shipping cost to Umisoo Hosting  for today   -  2x Antminer S4 - 0.226 BTC  (1 BTC = 359.59 USD)

Be more careful in the future .

so they decided to be unfair like many other companys ?

BUYERS BEWARE...I was one of the first to purchased (2) S4 miners B1 that should have been shipped 9/29/14 and still haven't received my miners!
Currently Bitmain is holding my Bitcoin ransom...
I have emailed many of times asking for my miners or refund of my Bitcoin...
Bitmain claims I ordered hosting which I assured them I didn't...
I have an email from Bitmain stating they changed the interface after my purchase to make a correction...
Bitmain has stopped all communication and will not respond to my emails...
I have since emailed all of Bitmain partners and called Bitmain North America twice now and still nothing...
I'm still out 2 S4 Miners and A LOT of BITCOIN not to mention I'm Losing money everyday...
I thought Bitmain was a reputable company and this is by no way my first purchase from Bitmain...
I have used just about everyone of there products that has been made available to the public & many other companies miners...

I would like to have my miners or my Bitcoin transferred back to my bank!

CAN ANYONE BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE?

I added 3 to the cart and delivery via DHL was 0.948 BTC.



I've bought over a dozen S1's and S3's and normally only in pairs, each time VAT/import duty was between £80 and £180 for each pair.

In a few cases the $ value Bitmain put for the item was higher much than the actual BTC $ value so I ended up paying more (only happened on 2 deliveries).

Got my shipping info but still gutted I ended up with 3 and not the planned 5 S3's I was hoping for.

Would be useful to get Bitmain to put on the S3 product listing that delivery is extra.
