I'll look into the --quiet problem and see if I can reproduce it ...
Ah OK, I see what you meant.
Yes if you enter nothing in "More Options(Default: --quiet)" you end up with --quiet

That's OK though since the S3 doesn't use screen so you aren't watching cgminer ... and it reduces IO a tiny bit also.

If you really want it to not use --quiet you can put some other option(s) there and it will use that rather than the default --quiet
So e.g. you could add --btc-address 1xxxxx (with your BTC address of course, not 1xxxxx)
if you wanted to set a backup pool to solo-mine at home (and it will have no effect if you don't have any pools pointed at a bitcoind)


Yeah, I thought that maybe (probably out of desperation) the --quiet option was preventing the api from broadcasting the hash rate stats to mmonitor/cryptoglance. I'm not too bothered about the queue setting not being displayed tbh, for the reasons you describe, but it would be nice to be able to connect to & monitor the miner remotely with the software I mentioned above. Is that option not available now?

Thanks again kano.
Then they are probably not using the standard cgminer API commands/replies.
I wrote the cgminer API.
Various parties have broken it - including Bitmain by changing the names and formats of API replies.
Not enhancements, just simply changing things and breaking compatibility.

Get whoever wrote your monitor tools to properly support the standard cgminer API
If they want to also support the broken API from Bitmain that's up to them.
But the problem is probably both Bitmain and whoever wrote your monitor.

A simple example of the above is that while cgminer has always replied with a number representing MHs in fields called "MHs..." Bitmain replies don't return MHs they return GHs and they changed the names of the fields
... rather than simply dividing the numbers returned by 1000 in their display code (like I've done in my modified S3 code), they changed the API output ... yeah some people don't know what they are doing and should stay away from touching code.
What Bitmain's change means is that you have to support different format replies from different devices.
Though ... the monitor tools shouldn't have problems with that if they've decided to handle the broken replies also ... unless they wont work with anything but Bitmain devices ...

This is also how you solo-mine on an S3 vs how to do it on an S1
... my S1 solo mining guide/post:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11590434

... which shows how you CAN easily solo mine on an S1 even though the Eligius people imply you can't without their software ... coz they don't like cgminer and spread FUD about it ...
http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/394gw5/q_i_want_to_use_my_old_s1_antminer_for_solomining/

I still don't know why anyone mines at Eligius, you lose BTC doing that, their so call no-fee mining pool loses blocks in an amount similar to my fee on this pool and their payout means someone who block withholds can still be paid their full payout (on here with PPLNS, if you block withhold, you lose BTC you will never get back)
The fee here also means I manage the pool 24/7 and don't ignore it when there are problems like what happens on Eligius.

Will test it now my good man!  Grin

Hi kano,

Been playing with this a bit, but I'm unable to get the hash rate or queue reading up on mmonitor, & cryptoglance cant connect at all. I've tried deleting the --quiet option, but it's not possible - is this by design? I've also tried adding the local ip of the PC using mmonitor/cryptoglance, but still no joy - what am I missing here?

Apart from that, the load is very good, much lower when using it with p2pool than before - I presume the standard queue setting of 1 is being used?

Love the interface & extra options!

Thanks  Smiley
--queue is effectively gone from cgminer now - it's a 'hidden' option meaning it is ignored.
It never made any sense and -ck set it to being ignored in 4.9.2
As per the cgminer update the API now doesn't return any of the useless information, just a message saying it's been deprecated.
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/81be63d32596f8c63fbc73ed6b02e861e7b55b20
and
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/bf261a899d3925f65f3fd1c3562151a7c2b760df
This also included removing getwork from cgminer, since no mining uses it, and again the getwork information being deprecated.

I'll look into the --quiet problem and see if I can reproduce it ...

I've put an AntS3 update archive in my binaries git hub of latest 4.9.2 cgminer.
For details and installing: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS3

This has been tested and run on both an old AntS3 and one of the later AntS3

I don't have an AntS3+ but I suspect it should work fine there also.

The menu frequency settings in the "Miner Configuration" "Advanced Settings" web interface includes default settings for both S3 and S3+

I've, of course, tested it on my pool https://kano.is/

It should also be OK on p2pool since it's the same code related to p2pool as in my AntS1 and AntS2 releases

Please give it a try and let me know if anyone has any trouble with it on AntS3 or AntS3+

Will test it now my good man!  Grin

Early days, but so far so good. Love the extra modules you've put up on the webUI, it's really smartened it up - great work kano!

One small thing I've noticed, I can't get mmonitor to show the 2 hash rate speeds anymore, even after adding the local ip of the PC running mmonitor to the api allow menu, it just shows as "ZERO". It's been so long since I played with these S3's that I can't remember what I have to add......lol

Really smart stuff kano - bitmain should pay you heavily  Wink

I am new to cloud mining and this is my first time to rent a rig. I just rented a rig on betarigs then i was asked to enter my pool details so i registered with kano CKpool and entered the URL, i then used my bitcoin address and username as my workername. Pls i want to know if there is any other thing i need to do. The rig i rented is to last for 3 days. 
If you registered on Kano's site, you can simply use the username you registered with as your rented rig's username so you can track your work. You can then put your Bitcoin address in the Settings page on Kano's site.

ok thanks. but how will i be able to monitor it on on kano's site

If you mine to a username you login and use the web site.

As it says on the front web page ...

If you mine to an address, you use the address links to see your stats:
http://www.kano.is/address.php?a=1KanoiBupPiZfkwqB7rfLXAzPnoTshAVmb
http://www.kano.is/worker.php?a=1KanoiBupPiZfkwqB7rfLXAzPnoTshAVmb_worker

As it says, use your address in place of mine.

Address mining has very limited stats.

... well S3 not quite yet but I got all the S3 luci/lua stuff working finally, will have a release within the next day (or 2).

Oooh.....can't wait for this, many thanks kano!



I was going to retire my S3's until recently when the BTC price improved, hopefully your excellent work can help breathe new & extended life into these little work horses & p2pool yet (I run them with your older version btw - have done since you first released it).

This morning I have one miner showing a 3.75G best share, another showing 1.9G, and another showing 15.24G.  Come on, let's take care of this block!
What kind of asic? Bitmain? My asic not report best share, only S1 on the web interface.
S1, S2 and S3 do with official cgminer.
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries

and of course anyone mining with the official cgminer on their computer Smiley
