It's a high efficiency, high power, low latency node. You'll earn more than any other pool with P2Pool, by a small amount.

How does that work?

Hi,
I don't know where to ask! so I'm sorry!
which pools you recommend for s4 for lower rejects and higher accepts & stability ?
Nicehash or btcguild or ...
thanks,

If you want to earn the most BTC per hash, mine on P2Pool. Feel free to join me on my node here: http://69.157.250.149:9332/static/p2pool-node-status/

It's a high efficiency, high power, low latency node. You'll earn more than any other pool with P2Pool, by a small amount. You also help decentralize bitcoin by mining on a decentralized pool.

If you want to use my node, set up the following:

Address: 69.157.250.149:9332
User name: 1KT2ceAEoMnpHMgRCoSW39teFQMBv4vebs+2050 (replace with your own BTC address. The +2050 specifies share difficulty, which is a good idea with S4s)
Password: x

Feel free to chose any other P2Pool node, or to set up your own at home! PM me if you want some tips on optimizing your S4 for best payouts using P2Pool, I'll be glad to help.

Thanks Dogie for the replies. Please see my comments below highlighted.

- My miner is currently set to 8194 difficulty as suggested by my node owner. Is it good or bad? whats the difference between setting diffculty to 2048 or 4096 etc? In details please or any reference to post where it is explained.

Lower difficulty = more work for the pool but less discarded shares for you. 1024 or 2048 would be most appropriate for you, but the node owner will want you to have a higher difficulty.

Why does the node owner want me to have a higher difficulty? Am i gonna profit anything by doing it? or him? or his node?

- I see that miners with same hash rate as me in p2pool are earning higher than me but i noticed that they are in different node. How come that is possible? Might be because i have higher difficulty set? or because i am in a bad node?

Its random variance, aka luck.

So, no matter which node i am in, its random luck?

Last question is, how do you maximise your earnings in mining, any specific things to follow?

No

I see a strange guy who earns too much with a very low hashrate : http://minefast.coincadence.com/miner.php?id=1GRg24ishi4HMC5hoPzKaTmN25yu9bAAax&blockoffset=40. this guy is doing some magic to earn that huge. any ideas on it?

Its random variance, aka luck.

I just noticed this guy has 21TH lol. But his miners in 2 different nodes, so the above link was showing only 1 of his miner in the node and TOTAL earnings in p2pool.

Also does each miner has to be set a single worker or 3 miners with a single worker is fine?

- How can we understand the best share in s4? what does the value actually mean? High is good or low?

Best share is reasonably meaningless, it just shows how close you've got to a block. High is better but its random luck.

I've got a few S4 that recently started having every single share discarded.  All of them started this behavior at the exact same time.

Temps are showing as 0, and all ASICs appear to be online. Any ideas? I tried reflashing the firmware, but that hasn't appeared to help.

Replied to your other post, we will get confused if we discuss it in two places.

Are we there yet?
Stupid Nubie question but can't find the answer.
When doing a firmware upgrade from the s4 gui do I upload the .gz file or extract it to .tar first before uploading?
TIA

Does anyone have any $40-off S5 coupons they can spare?  I'd like to get just a couple more of dem bad boys.

My Bitmain User ID is (unsurprisingly): dkaufman

Thanks!

We're running quite a few S4s in our DC and have yet to have a complete chain go out on us like this. Of course we've tried hard resetting, etc but are curious to know if anyone has any suggestions or experience with a complete chain failure before I open it up and check the blade cables, etc.





Ensure that all cables are seated properly.  Reseating the cables fixed that problem for me.

Hello,
I received a used S4 today which does not start anymore. After powering it, the green "Alarm" LED is running permanently while the red Fauld LED is blinking all the time. The miner does not start when pushing the power button. Any suggestions?
Kind regards

Green is not alarm, that's yellow - right? Sure the cable / outlet is good? Apart from that there isn't much else we can do but RMA the PSU as something has gone wrong in shipping. PM BitmainWarranty to arrange an RMA. Be sure to link to your post describing the issues, what type and how many miners you wish to have repaired/replaced and your bitmaintech.com order number.
