I have made a couple of tweeks to hashcheck script. I found that when the R1 has been running for a while the Average GH/s decays very slowly when the miner stops which significantly delays the restart, so I am monitoring instead the 5s and have set the level to 10000 (Am hashing at 16.5GH/s) Have also put in some logger lines which output the speed, interval set at 2 mins.

So it's been running now for a couple of Hours without a stop, we will see what happens?

So on the running out of memory where are you seeing that info and what happens? Any thoughts on a fix?

my thoughts for a fix is to try out a usb drive to see if i can make a swap file.. but i cant install the usb tools because of the kernel
not sure how to fix.. i have to do some checking.

Code:

Installing kmod-usb-storage (3.3.8-1) to root...

look what i found here.. exactly what i thought.. r1 is running out of memory..

as soon as you plug it in its setup to go online with bitmains id. so im pretty sure that number is pretty valid as the total..

Unless you buy the R1 from someone like CrazyGuy who has already modified the firmware for you. That's what I plan to do, my R1 will never be seen by Bitmain on their pool so it's possible there are many more out there than reported.

CrazyGuy does have it where you could use antpool if you want to see some stat's to play with on antpool site on that antrouter tab. But you are right if you stick with ck solo it would never touch on his sales with custom firmware. I am very happy with my purchase from him.

I really am surprised bitmain did not do a batch 2 yet. Guess we will see I'm happy if it turns into more collector item with only around 200 out there... but I would think they would want to sell more though.

can someone post the link to crazyguy's firmware? install guide?

The average is 11.3 which is < 14 in the above.

Aside from that my whole setup stopped hashing and there was no restart. I restarted manually still no hash, reboot still no hash, power down still no hash, hard reset still not working.

Eventually realised that Antpool had gone down. Duh... so have had now to rebuild everything. Anyway it's all back and running and I think the script is working now but will have to wait & see.

Yes agreed it's running too frequently but lets me check quicker.

Either I have done something wrong or the code is not right?

Rich

the avg has to drop down, not the 5s.
you can change it to 5s tho if you need.

edit.. i wouldnt run it every minute.. id do it like 5 or 10.

While I'll admit this is speculation on my part, I'll bet that the profit margins on the S7 are way higher than the margins on the R1 router. And by margin I mean both as a percentage, and in absolute dollars/BTC (obviously).

Does anybody know what the peak was in terms of R1's that logged into Antpool to do their duty for the collective (i.e. help mining for Antminer). My recollection is that an R1 user/owner has some insight into that information.

I think you hit the nail on the head they make more selling S7's. These sold for what 30 bucks plus shipping (shipping was expensive). That is much cheaper then I expected though. I thought they would put at least double this. But they made it for a fair price. They made money but even if they doubled money i'm willing to bet it's not even close to S7 profits.

It's actually not even on the front page on items being sold - https://www.bitmaintech.com/product.htm . So either they dropped it... or they are working on new version. I think most likely is they dropped it for the moment and focus more of S7's like you mentioned. I hope they go back sometime to it as it was a pretty neat device.

With crazy guy's custom firmware it is a amazing unit. I love the U3 resetting, I don't have to unplug multiple times a day which is good.

as soon as you plug it in its setup to go online with bitmains id. so im pretty sure that number is pretty valid as the total..

Unless you buy the R1 from someone like CrazyGuy who has already modified the firmware for you. That's what I plan to do, my R1 will never be seen by Bitmain on their pool so it's possible there are many more out there than reported.

CrazyGuy does have it where you could use antpool if you want to see some stat's to play with on antpool site on that antrouter tab. But you are right if you stick with ck solo it would never touch on his sales with custom firmware. I am very happy with my purchase from him.

I really am surprised bitmain did not do a batch 2 yet. Guess we will see I'm happy if it turns into more collector item with only around 200 out there... but I would think they would want to sell more though.

You are correct CG first pool is Solo at ckpool with his Bitcoin Address

so it will not be logged. However these ought to be a tiny fraction of the Total R1?

After a couple of Hours I have had my first Stop, not go slow, and something is not right as there was not a restart. Here is the output from cgminer-api

Code:

This is from the System Log, you can see that the job is running.

Code:

Either I have done something wrong or the code is not right?

Brilliant , thank you. There are obviously a neat set of things that cold be done with scripts running on miners.

You often get people wanting to check or restart or change things under different circumstances. I am surprised that there is not a set of handy scripts around.

Couple of things. The R1 has a tab for scheduled tasks, however I have not seen that tab on an S5 is there another way of setting one up? Also is it possible to do things like check for HW errors and then adjust the frequency up or down?

Rich

the s5 doesnt have crontab..

so you would have to make a script to go in init.d.. making one to adjust the speed is possible. you would have to make it smart, checking both hardware errors and temp..

So yes I understand you would want to check HW error & temp but in principal it could be done including sending a command to change the frequency?

Rich

yeah the freq on the s5 is adjusted by a cgminer.conf file.. it would be easy to make a few, like say 350(stock), 400, 425, and then have the script switch them out if the temp or hwe is too high but prefer the highest one.

you would have to make it count the hwe over a certain time.. so if you made the script run every 10 minutes you can put it in if hwe is 100 more then last time.. then lower it.. or whatever.

the script part is easy..

OK that is all done & running, will let you know how it goes. Thanks for spelling it out...

So just for general education.

I think I can see that this runs cgminer-api then picks up on the Average GH looks for it to be >= but then I get lost on that line?

Is there a guide somewhere to this "language"?

Rich

its shell or bash or sh.. those are all the same.

you are right.. its running cgminer-api then its looking for the line GHS av if you went in SSH it would look like this

Code:

[STATUS] =>
(
   [STATUS] => S
   [When] => 1447936121
   [Code] => 11
   [Msg] => Summary
   [Description] => cgminer 4.8.0
)
[SUMMARY] =>
(
   [0] => SUMMARY
   [Elapsed] => 509
   [GHS 5s] => 5.45
   [GHS av] => 5.12
   [Found Blocks] => 0
   [Getworks] => 20
   [Accepted] => 34
   [Rejected] => 0
   [Hardware Errors] => 0
   [Utility] => 4.01
   [Discarded] => 286
   [Stale] => 0
   [Get Failures] => 0
   [Local Work] => 1374
   [Remote Failures] => 0
   [Network Blocks] => 2
   [Total MH] => 2606530.0000
   [Work Utility] => 71.55
   [Difficulty Accepted] => 544.00000000
   [Difficulty Rejected] => 0.00000000
   [Difficulty Stale] => 0.00000000
   [Best Share] => 801
   [Device Hardware%] => 0.0000
   [Device Rejected%] => 0.0000
   [Pool Rejected%] => 0.0000
   [Pool Stale%] => 0.0000
   [Last getwork] => 1447936121
)

then what it does is strip the words, and the decimal, so it gives a solid number.. 512 in my case..
then it checks to see if its less than your preset.. -lt

this is a good site for info

its quite easy ill explain it..
you can take the lines from start to end, you can include the ### if you want.. not necessary tho and past it in a txt.. name it hashcheck.. by default windows will make it hashcheck.txt unless you turned off the showing file types option..

put that file in /usr/bin using wincsp.. right click that file rename it and take the .txt off and right click and hit properties and in the octal box type in 0755 and hit ok. this will make it executable.

now go in the R1 UI and where the scheduled tasks is under
*/3 * * * * /usr/bin/cgminer-monitor

put
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/hashcheck

the /5 part is 5 minutes.. you can put /10 or /30 or whatever although i wouldn't make it less than 5.

you shouldnt have to reboot or anything just hit submit and it will start running.
let me know if it helps.

Yes it is actually hashing as reported by Antpool. That said I have not looked too closely just restarted it. The slight complication is that I run at 15GH & usually when it "goes slow" it is showing the standard speed of 5GH, so although I do not think this is the case, I had wondered if it had somehow picked up the default frequency from somewhere?

Will take a closer look next time it does this. Is there anything else I can look at to help with the problem?

Rich

you can ssh in and run cgminer-api to see what it says.. it would give you more of a direct stats then the ui or the pool..

if it shows the 5s at 15ghs but the avg at 5gsh then its just averaging wrong and everything is ok. you can restart it but its prob not needed.

i can show you a quick script that will restart if gsh goes low..

put this in a text and put it in /usr/bin and make it 0755 then run it with scheduled tasks running every 5 or 10 minutes.

###START
minhash=1400
SPEED=`cgminer-api | grep 'GHS av] => ' | cut -c 16- | tr -d '.'`

if [ "$SPEED" -lt $minhash ]; then
logger "cgminer was restarted for low hash"
/etc/init.d/cgminer stop
killall -9 cgminer
sleep 1
/etc/init.d/cgminer start
exit 0;

fi
###END

what this will do is check the avg ghs, if its less then 14 it will restart.. you can change the min to whatever. no decimal.

Thanks but I need this spelling out in more detail if I am going to do it?

So I take the above & put it in a txt file?
Do I include ###START & END?
What do you mean by make it 0755? Is that the file name?
What text do I put in the scheduled tasks?
Can I leave the cron job there as well?

As you can see I have no idea what I am doing...
