Topic: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain Antminer S3 Setup [HD] - page 25. (Read 137777 times)
Thanks for the guide Doge. Everyone time I click save & apply however it kills the antminer and I can't communicate until factory reset. Any tips?
Dogie, I really appreciate whatever you do for the community, hope everyone else does too. You are one dedicated person, I would like to see more like you on bitcointalk. Just want to give you a friendly suggestion: it is not embarrassing, if you are not aware of something, you can just say "I don't know". Please, avoid taking advantage of your reputation for making false statements.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Being unaware of a niche feature isn't meaning to 'abuse my position', sorry. I stand to gain nothing either way. There still isn't any reason to load balance.
I'm not indulging in other arguments between you both but, I like to point out that there are many good reasons to load balance between pools, atleast for me.
I got the detail from the cgminer developer to use it directly in CGminer.
I can use the pool balance option for diverting a part of some of my miner's hash power which I rented for long term before overclocking.
I overclocked the miners and gained around 125Ghs additional for each mining Rig. I have 3 of such rigs.
Since all are on long term rentals, 125*3 = 375Ghs is going to waste if I'm not using it or giving free to rented miners.
So this will help me divert the additional 375Ghs from the already rented rigs to rent further or use my own.
About the payment process. I bought a couple of coins at CoinBase, can I use their wallet to pay for their site? how much should I donate to the transaction in order to make it faster?
Coinbase pays the miners fee themselves, so you don't need to put in any extra.
However, it takes for coinbase up to 1hr sometimes to have the first confirmation, so your transaction would timed out initially, but they (bitmain) usually reconcile it later either by themselves or if you send them email with your transaction id. If time is of no particular importance, but you want a peace of mind, send your coinbase coin to blockchain.info wallet first and pay from there, paying minimal fee of 0.0001 btc or slightlly above.
Hi everyone,
I'm new at mining and I want to buy a couple of these on the manufacturer website. I have never done business with China so I'm a bit scared. Will I have to pay a tax or shipping if I buy from their site and ship it to Florida? Is there any difference between the different batches? Any tips are welcomed.

I was thinking about getting a couple of this PSU: Rosewill CAPSTONE-650. It's a Gold certified 54A PSW for under 100$ and it includes 4 PCI-e with 6+2 pins.
Thanks for all your help!

Fear not! Bitmain is the best shipping from China I have ever heard of. There is no extra tax or shipping when ordering from Bitmain directly. My 3rd and 4th S3's from batch 5 will be arriving here in FL tomorrow or Thursday. My 1st and 2nd were from batch 1. The only significant difference between batches (that I have heard of so far) is price and shipping date. Although some are reporting that batch 4+ miners are hashing faster than B1-3.
I don't really know anything about CoinBase, but I can't imagine why you couldn't pay directly from their site. Transaction donations these days should be between .001 and .005 BTC for reasonable processing time.
That PSU looks good as long as it's one S3 per PSU . Don't try to stack two to one. But with 4PCI-e cables, it should be able to overclock as much as your S3's can handle.

First of all, appreciating you to post the status page image of your faulty miner.
Which Power supply you are using and what are the loads you are giving to that PSU?
Now do the below step and report back again.
First Turn Off your miner PSU. Remove all PCI Power Cables and Ethernet Cable from S3.
Wait for a minimum of 5 minutes and connect the PCI Power cables and internet back and turn on your PSU.
Now, run the miner for 10 minutes check the stats page take a screen shot.
Do a restart and wait for 30minutes and take another screenshot of the stats page.
If you are having problem in hashrate or x or - in the second image report back with both the images.

Anyone tried the pool balance options in Antminer S3?
No, never had a reason to. Why do you want to pool balance out of interest?
I like to know whether its possible to set quota for these three pools.
Say for example, like 25% to first pool, 30% to second and 45% to the third.
Not with the default software, no.
Yes...with the default software...
..."Balance: Change multipool strategy from failover to even share balance.
Load Balance: Change multipool strategy from failover to quota based balance..."
From S3 Manual...:

I saw the manual much earlier and I was asking whether its possible to set a specific quota to pools.
Say, we need to set 25% of the total hash power to first pool, 30% to second and 45% to the third.
Look at bitmain's post on P2Pool there additional parameter can be added in the username field with "+" operator.
Like wise I'm expecting some quota to be set via some additional parameter passing with username like for p2pool or password field like in nicehash.

got one of theses platimax 1500watt supply they have a 12 pin connector at the psu side splitting to 2 x8pin pcie, the wire gauge is quite thick, 1 cable could cover 1 s3?
If its 16AWG then sure, those things are beastly.
yep 16awg written on the connectors and theyre staying pretty cool, ill have go at overclocking on that one.

ok got it.
well dont want to burn it obviously, and ideally 150watt per pcie?
75W is the official spec for 6 pin, 150W for 8 pin.
