Question.
I've always been a firm believer in "if it's not broke don't fix it". I currently have 2 S2 units that run fine, one on your pool and one somewhere else. What would be the benefit of flashing other then running the new version of cgminer? I am not sure what "up to commit 38d93800" means. Also does keeping my S2's as is create headache or any trouble?
Thanks for reading.
The S2 firmware is just on the SD card so doing an update isn't risky.
If you are running a Bitmain version then most likely all the issues I've pointed out exist in it:
Dropping p2pool blocks, queueing up way too much work, sending duplicates to the pool, sending shares to the pool that shouldn't be sent, problems with the LCD display, old version of cgminer.
I've also updated the web to allow you to view and set api-allow rather than have it stuck on the highly insecure default setting of W:0/0
My Miner Status web page is a much updated version - I've removed all the unnecessary stuff and added colour highlighting
cgminer uses the stardard API not the hacked/changed one that's not backward compatible
There's a bunch of updates listed at that link.
The commit number is the last cgminer commit in my release since there are changes since 4.9.1 that I added including fixing an api-allow bug - up to commit 38d93800 i.e. up to:
