Hi community,
After nearly 3 month of stable work with my S4, i have now a problem.
There was a fallout of electricity on saturday in Moscow region and after that my S4 started again but is running only on 1400Ghs...anyone know, what do ihave to check what's up with my S4?
How can i get em to full hashing rate ?
Look forward to have your help. Nice if there is somebody from Moscow out there...

Please try disconnecting 3 of the data cables from the control PCB and see if it would hash with 1 hash PCB connected to it.
If that works, please try with 2 data cables, and so on. If this does let you hash partially, you may have an under performing PSU or one of the hash PCB is gone bad.
Another thought be upgrading the firmware to the newest version

Im getting the status tab with just "dashes" no X or O as it would normally show..any suggestions? Also a few of them suddenly stopped mining, rebooted, restore to factory, all fans working, temp is showing, but no hashing, any ideas? Thanks

For the S4, its already too late. They are not that much more efficient then an S3. It pretty much reached the bottom of the depreciation curve.
I could be wrong but I think it still can half again in value based on S2 value's. If you go ebay with S4 currently ( I know riskier) but you likely can get 220-250 area. If you look at S2's likely closer to 100. So they will go down more.
And if you sell you could get around 1/2 of a S7. I would rather have 1/2 of S7 or buy BTC with it then a S4 personally. And if you can get 1/2 of S7 it is faster and more efficient.
But I would agree there is some time/effort in selling that can be a pain vs just mining it out.

Hiya,
Has anyone had good results underclocking the S4?

The best I could get was 0.6W/GHS from the wall with the stock PSU.
In most cases you would be better off selling it and going with S7 wiith coupon and a PSU. You will get at least twice as much efficiency maybe a tad more. Also PSU can be used on many miners.
Only sad thing is I think S4 is last bitmain all in one. But... I still say sell over keeping for sentimental. And you can get much better efficiency.
Yeah but the miner is all paid for at least. So everyday it turns a profit instead of running an S7 for months to get ROI.
True but the longer you hold onto it the less it will be worth. This is the problem I have with past gen miners. At some point (unless free electricity) there is a time you make more by selling then you ever will by mining.
Due to my electrical price I sold all previous gen S5, Avalon 4.1, SP20. I came out far ahead as I sold and bought BTC with it. If I would have held.... I would have mined less and value goes down. So make sure to do some math behind it as different for everyone. But for me selling was the best option for getting most possible ROI.

I never got anything worthwhile by frequency. I sold mine long ago and at the time bought S5's with them. The good news is them being all in one's they tend to hold value higher then they should.
But selling them long ago was best thing I could have done. I have not seen a underclock that really makes them a game changer on efficiency.

Someone gave me 3 free S4. Should I put them to use or just sell them?
Clean them up take picutes and list them all on ebay auctions.
If your electricity is cheap set all three up to mine underclocked 100 MHz 0.6 V they'll use half the power and give you 1TH each
mine until the day they sell
What voltage did you set to mine at 0.6V, the lowest I can set is 0.660V and I get like 0.70W/GHS from wall.

is anyone still actually making a profit with these things? i see they still sell on ebay for what i paid a year ago.
i shut mine down last week after 1 year of mining as electrical cost ($.10kwh) was more than bitcoin generated.

If you had free electricity then yes you could still make a profit. I personally shut down my S4's long ago, and sold and bought newer miners. With "normal" electricity I just could not keep mining them.
I would sell it off personally and buy coins. I have owned many miners and wanted to keep them all.... but in the end I have sold all old generations and it's been a decent help to my ROI in some cases.
sounds like a plan. i saved the box. time to fire up the ebay sell account...
And this is something that is not talked about much but you really should always save your boxes and original packing material. I always keep mine and if looks like other boxes write on it what miner it's for. You will save money on good packing later, and customers are always happier when original box (normally).
But your on the right track heading to ebay with it. Much better then unplugging and sitting it as decoration in my opinion.
