Topic: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH - page 39. (Read 527791 times)

What is the number 1 coin in your opinion? Peercoin??? I thought that changes day to day?

And, for my next question.

Has anyone dabbled with the S7 firmware and added a "round robin" command so the miner will cycle through the listed URLs in the miner configuration?

Back in the stone age when the S2 was popular, there was some people who had their S2's doing just that by editing the firmware by connecting to the miner via SSH.

Has anyone tried that with the S7?  I'm sure that will be a nifty feature to have when bitcoin is no longer the #1 coin ( actually, BTC has not been the #1 coin for some time now. )

Thanks

Yeah.... I have a few pointed there at the moment, BUT..... there is still a "middle man" in the mix. Someone I don't know, its a very small solo pool, kinda new, etc... with how much scamming there is surrounding cryptocurrencies, I'm very leery with just about everything. The less people with their fingers in the pie the better security and stronger the network.

With PPC being a low enough diff and I have most definitely enough hash-power here, I could make solo mining worth while.... but, I would like to cut out the middle man and mine TRUE SOLO .... using the full wallet/node.

Not only to satisfy my paranoia (puts on his tinfoil has and twiddles his fingers while looking slyly out the window from behind the closes blinds)........  but also to learn... err ... relearn, how to solo mine. I did it years ago with other coins. The wife giving me gray hair and plenty of stress, the whisky and the drugs the doc wants me to take equals : "Duh.... I don't remember sh!t anymore" and the stuff that I find online is soooooo outdated.

So, to be helpful and educational, could someone could post their ppcoin.conf file and their miner settings (URL and port #), what ports to forward at the router --- there seems to be  A LOT of confusion on RPC port and the "network" port posted online IE 9901, 9902, now 9903 and 9904 I've seen mentioned more recently.


Thanks

Good call! Thanks for that! Prime eligible too, this is why I love Amazon!

Here's a good one  http://www.amazon.com/Sanyo-Denki-SAN-Ace-120mm/dp/B00QWB1X3O/ref=pd_sim_147_3/179-3391878-1283731?ie=UTF8&dpID=518LC-uCGVL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1S4FW7HXH6NM82FMC1D8

I wiggled them a bit and unplugged/plugged it back in but I will check again just to be sure... Think I am going to take this one out of the rack and back home to the bench tonight so that I can test it out

Good point, hadn't thought of that. Got any recommendations on replacements? I know they can be had from bitmain but that takes too long. Anybody see an issue using this fan from amazon?

I ran into this problem once and it turned out that one of the fan cables had a spot on it that looked like it had been crushed.  I bent it back and forth a couple times and it was good as new.  Try messing with the fan connections, or try powering the fan with another power source and seeing if it comes on.

Dead fan, the other one is moving it.

Anybody ever run into a situation where you are missing a fan in the GUI? fan is on, though at a really low level and cgminer shows no fan for fan1. Bad fan? Bad board? Thanks in advance!

I have hit with 144gh   12 compac sticks..  but

if you do 1 s-7  you should hit one every 5-6 days

How much hashrate are you talking about for those 3-4 blocks?

Maybe you are right, I shouldn't jump to conclusions. I just saw some setups on youtube where they use 120mm pwm fans in mineral oil tanks for PC builds, I would expect they would over-draw like typical AC fan motors, especially given how high-RPM the S7 fans are.  I guess you could set the fans down to 10% which may help too.

i run Peercoin solo mining every weekend, about 30$ USD per block, sometimes I hit 3-4 blocks per weekend on a good day

You need to insert your peercoin address -- its starts with a capital "P"
Password, just put "x" - and let the pool auto adjust the diff level for you.
Checkout holytransaction.com, its a funky web multi-coin wallet, and it also gives you a Peercoin wallet and address.

I have hit 2 blocks on this site above.

Your board #3 is showing problems too. I'd say try powering just one board at a time. Maybe the problem is your PSU. Maybe that would be the best case Scenario.

Hi,

So one of the hashing boards in one of my batch 1 S7 has stopped working, what should I do?



If anyone got any tips/tricks I would appreciate it.

It's probably not worth it to send it back to Bitmain for repairs? The shipping cost alone would probably be too much AFAIK. (Norway)

Ah. There was that tube where they would build Mineral Oil rigs. They said fans don't burn out even though they can't spin fast at all, because to burn out, there would need to be excessive friction.

Since the motor in fan is just current being run around the fan pole to make it spin, there's no actual strain on the parts. They say however the fans don't actually make any difference in cooling performance, they just looks cool. Until you take them out, then they remain pretty much forever sticky, but however still work normally afterward.

I don't know if those(deltas) fan Specifically would not work under mineral oil, but in that case;

Cheap low performance PMW 120mm case fans definitively do. I dont know if the firmware would accept those readings however? Might be 2x4$ bucks fix, if the firmware just look for a signal.

I need to pick someone's brain about solo mining PEERCOIN with S7's

For whatever reason I just cannot get it going and yes, I'm running a full node with plenty of incoming connections. The router is configured properly. It a matter of getting the miners to talk to the node/wallet. and yes again, I'm running the latest version v0.5.2

If someone is mining PEERCOIN with their S5 or S7, please post your ppcoin.conf file, and what you use for the URL to talk to the wallet.

Thanks

BTW.... My head hurts from beating it on the keyboard....
