But at the pool it's called "scoring hash rate" it goes around 300 gh/s only, while in miner status it's 1th/s.
What do you think?

Also remember on BitcoinCZ the Scoring Hashrate will take some time to build up. Definitely as others have said try a different Pool. Even if only as a test Nicehash responds quickly and gives a clear readout of speed.

Yes you're right there was something wrong with the Ethernet cable once I changed it the scoring hash rate came back to 1100 gh/s
Thanks for your help.

One question more:
Is it better to continue with slush pool or go to kano.is
And what is the difference between them

I am partial to Kano.is mainly because he was a major developer of the mining code cgminer.

I wrote a long write up on why I think his pool it the best choice.

Since I started the write up he went from good to better.

But like any pool your connection to the pool is important.

If your connection  to both pools is equal I believe Kano.is is the best choice for you.

this is my writeup as to why you and for that matter anyone with a good connection should use kano.is

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/lifetime-pool-luck-for-antpool-vs-kanois-or-why-arent-you-mining-with-kanois-1338693

It is a lot better pool than bitcoincz I would say without a doubt.  I had a stupid question about his pool, and he took time to help me.   Not to many pool owners take time to personally anwser a question.    And if you use it sign up for a account, it's more accurate on hashing rate then just using BTC addres that was part of my stupid question .... the anwser was sign up for a account and you get great stat's.

But try it or another pool.  As it appears pool is issue most likely as that PSU can easily run an S5.  Only thing else I would ask is do you have more then just the S5 plugged into that PSU?

Thank you I appreciate your help.
Also there's something else I wanna ask about is it normal that the miner is making sound like peep/whistle every 10 minutes or something.

It is if you're losing connection every 10 mins or so, which would explain why you're losing so much hashrate. Its clear you had a lot of shares trashed as seen on the status page, but i don't know how bad your connection is.

If you look at screen -r you can see exactly whats going on in real time.

Where to write "screen-r"?

SSH into the miner, and its "screen -r" notice the space. Use putty.exe, download it if you don't have it. You put the IP in there and click Open session.

Maybe SSH into the miner, with something like putty. The User/Pass is root/admin.

Then type screen -r and see for a bit what is going on with your shares.

I'm from Egypt.
I'very read about kano but I don't know how can I mine there it's more easy to mine in slush the settings are easy do you know what I mean?
I need to read any topic that explains mining with kano especially how can I but my wallet adress to get payouts?

You can mine directly to an address if you dont want to setup the account to payout to an address of yours. To set an address you login, go over account, click settings. The options are all there.

well the number you are getting now tell me you have a bad connection , but I am not quite sure yet.  can you screen shot the pool's number for the machine

to me It looks like you dropped 1 board for part of the time.  this is a known bug with poor power and or power connection to the pool.

 so try other pools and see if you get the drop outs.

Input to the PSU is 220v-240v range?: yes
All 4 PCI-e properly connected? And are the one red light on each board on?: Yes



try a different pool  something is wrong,  your connection  to antpool is most likely bad.

what country are you in?


if you are not in china try kano.is

Pool: bitcoincz
Psu: the one from bitmain
What is the status tab do you mean miner status?


Yes. Input to the PSU is 220v-240v range? It probably would not work at all otherwise but best to check. All 4 PCI-e properly connected? And are the one red light on each board on?

I'm new in bitcoin mining with antminer s5.
It supposed to be 1100 gh/s
But at the pool it's called "scoring hash rate" it goes around 300 gh/s only, while in miner status it's 1th/s.
So what exactly is wrong?
I think may be it's connection issue so I can change the pool's url.
Or it's configuration issue
Or pool issue so I can change the pool

What do you think?

What pool are you using? Try Kano.is.
What PSU are you using?

And post a screenshot of your full status tab, please.
