May the source be with you.
Actually my firmware  based only on official sources(cgminer) i only add some nice looking graphs and tweaked a bit cgminer code to better support nicehash(revert old patch, apply new patch). Bitmain testing my firmwares, but looks like they decided to use old cgminer(dunno why,  they don't told me Cheesy). In next release i plan to add crontab as many people asking me to do so.

That is great news I didn't know Bitmain was testing them.   With them testing your firmware have they made any mention as far as warrenty/support of it?
They tell me that possibly they can make it official, but this is last words i hear from them. This is started as firmware for my personal needs, so i don't care about guaranty. So far there is no significant problems reported.

hello you've tried this with firmware 4.9 cgminer por antminer s5? worth it? really better? or worse?

Hi! I downloaded it but have not flashed yet. I am satisfied enough with old S5 firmware. I don't like Nicehash.

p.s. have just flashed it, looks OK.  Wink CPU load reduced from 80+% to 22-27%.


I do not understand how to turn on Extranonce subscription nicehash and if should activate it on my 4x antminer s5

If your doing nicehash it makes it a lot easier.  But with not being a official firmware there is a lot of risk, including losing your warranty.

I have tried the C1 and S4 of it, but I went back to official firmware as I like that it has went through Bitmain.

UPDATED S5 FIRMWARE RELEASED

ANTI-DDOS PROTECTION & MINERLINK Update.

Some reported better performance with Nicehash/Westhash


https://bitmaintech.com/files/download/SD-S5-20150415.tar.gz


Please let us know if there are any issues.




I might have missed something but I did not see it.  What is the anti-ddos protection?  Can you go into more details as far as how it works?

It grabbed my interest as a having a degree in computer security.

ANTI-DDOS PROTECTION & MINERLINK Update.

Some reported better performance with Nicehash/Westhash

Please let us know if there are any issues.

And IF you did not know - here is an alternate FW with Cgminer 4.9.0 and improved support of Nicehash by smit1237.

http://smit1237.asuscomm.com:8080/nicehash/

Some details on how to use it you can find here: https://forum.bits.media/index.php?/blog/173/entry-315-proshivka-dlia-antminer-s5s4c1-ispravlenie-baga-s-ustanovkoi/.

Walk around that FTP if interesting, there are a lot of other firmwares for Bitmain and lketc miners there...

Hey Yoshi! Thanks for standing up to Josh Garza and his bullshit scams. Chances are that you saved a lot of innocent people from being scammed. For sure you saved your reputation.

Josh Garza is a slimeball and will do whatever he can to part people from their money.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11133665

NOTE: An email dump of GAW Miners showed that Garza attempted to get Bitmain to write a note saying that Josh had made a huge purchase of many PH. Yoshi forced the issue and would not issue any note until the deal was done.

Can the 18pin data cable be replaced/purchased? getting 1 hw error per minute. have narrowed down to one of the data cable

Presumably, this is not a data cable fault.
I got a different longere cables from  inside broken TVs. (plasma and LCD)  16 pin and 24 pin . With awl You can take out the cables from one plug  and place to another plug. So I made a longere cable.

the S5 that we have came whit DHCP IP address, not static, and any time the S5 are plug out the IP cahnges, i try changing in static but now i cant find the miner anymore, i only fill up the IP Address field whit 192.168.1.112, do i need to fill up also Netmask/Gateway/DNS?  

If you are setting static IP address you need to fill all fields so yes.

You will need to reset button out of this if you didn't enter those things, the S5 won't be discoverable or connectible.

Could just take a long hard look at the board- there'll be two bare pads where there should be a tiny little resistor instead, after which soldering it back on is a breeze Smiley ( if any steps in doing so voids warranty - discuss with Bitmain first )

yes i did that.. there are a ton of empty pads.. but none of them looked like they were damaged or had anything soldered to them.. without knowing for sure its almost impossible..




I can't find an R499, but there are 4R99's between the "yellow crosses" and the larger black rectangles with "100 408PP" on them. There is one of them per pair of chips. Its also not on the heatsink side, nor on the controller https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8679/15971573479_635d91c671_o.jpg.

That being said, its highly likely we have different revisions of S5 boards / controller.

those resistors you mentioned are all accounted for..

i am still worried about this that came out from inside when i picked it up..
i took it apart looking at the hash boards for anything noticeably missing, but i didnt see anything

perhaps a diagram of where those R499 resistors are located?

it seems to be working good, but i dont want it to just blow up someday. although .499 Ohms isnt a lot and it might not even be an issue.

ATTN Bitmain

Would it be beneficial for me to add 3 fans on the backs of my S5s to reduce heat? Now that spring is arriving it is warming up and I want to move more air.

If this would be effective could I order 3 new S5 fans with mounting screws? I want the Bitmain ones. I do not care about noise.

How much, including shipping to Canada? UPS only.
