When I added my first SP20 here it takes a while to build up to the hashrate I usually see on other pools much faster.
I'm not complaining I want to understand.
Is it because I do not set a difficulty? Starting at 1k should be perfect for an SP20 and be right there at 1.3 1.6 however you have it setup.
I restored an S3, new used fans, re-pasted the chips, put it on the pool and local hashrate was straight to 450ish right away.
I try to pay attention and I know I've read the pool shows what matters. Does it truly take that long at any pool, do I have a poor connection, or something set wrong?
The 1 minute you see there means "rolling exponential average with 1 minute time constant" which means it gives you a more accurate estimate than grabbing just the last minute's shares and estimating a hashrate from them, but that also means if you start at zero it takes ~5 time constants to plateau meaning 5 minutes. The hashrate used as the accurate current hashrate on the website is the 5 minute time constant one so it takes even longer to rise. It does not mean your hashrate is less than on other pools during that time, it's just far more likely to give you an accurate estimate of hashrate. The per hashrate stats are now updated every minute on the website after one of the many changes recently added to both ckpool and ckdb instead of the old way which updated them every 10 minutes.I'm not complaining I want to understand.

Specifically with the sp20, they go through a process of fine tuning each time they start as well so it takes them longer than S3s to get to their final hashrate.
Thank you very much for this level of detail in both yours and Kano's replies. It is refreshing.

Thanks Kano, I have a question. Earlier you said tubes would be supported after the next restart. Did this every become implemented or was it cancelled due the bug you had mentioned? I tried to run them here and all shares were rejected, please look at my account stats.
I'll chase up what happened there - I think there was some extra change required that I didn't realise but yeah when all the restarting/debugging happen over the previous weeks, that pretty much got left in the dust.It used to work and seems may be no longer functional?
I have seen a few workernames on the pool that include "tube" in the name with a bit higher than normal rejects, but still working.
If your one does work on other pools, then we'll have to add it back into the todo list for ckpool.

You can proxy them through BFG miner and point the proxy here. I ran 3 for a while like that pointed here with no problems. If you need any info PM me.

Another one found!
And lightsword found it without his 2ph on the pool.
I saw that!

sloopy, good call on changing the PSUs on the S4s. They are garbage, I've had 4 out of 5 die so far. I'm using Delta 2000w (DPS-2000) as replacements with sidehack's breakout boards and couldn't be happier with them.
February 06, 2015, 12:08:33 PM
Has anyone updated their S4's with the new firmware from Bitmain Tech initramfs.bin.SD-20150129.tar.gz? Having problems with the new firmware update. When I change the frequency settings from stock, the miner will revert back to an old pool that I used to mine at. When I change the pool settings back to CKPool, it will revert the frequency settings back to stock settings. I have uploaded the backup copy of the miner before applying the new firmware, but without Joy, as in it's still doing the same thing.
I had similar problems on 2 SD cards and this latest firmware update....one of them ended up dying completely and the other one wont allow any data to be written....it appears to take the settings but rebooting erases them and when I tried using SDFormatter it insists the write protect is on when I know its off...
FWIW both cards that had issues were ADATA 8GB class 10...I wont be buying any more of those
Simple solution: use a different SD card and a known working image from another machine...the readme says it fixes a uboot issue causing the miner not to boot...I seem to have more problems with that since this update also 1 board drops occasionally on a reboot which requires power off/on to get it back

I've updated the pool hash rate to 2700 since the top miner has sent their hashes somewhere else and I've no idea if they will return.
They used to drop and come back, but seems they've gone elsewhere now.

Lets just CRACK this block!! I have added an extra 100T to help.
Damn, I got a bad rental on MRR. Waiting for a refund.
Got a refund, now a extra 150t pointed here. I don't understand why MMR won't check renter rigs?
It's about 1 out of 10 rentals are a scam.
well, anything under 0.00000012btc/mh is worth it, only if their GH is up to advertised.
as for them checking it, i think they gave up years ago after they got some money out of it.
we could hound them on twitter to get their ass back into gear

Sounds like cache issues.
I was experiencing similar things with an S3 yesterday, opened a different browser I had not used with a miner, bc I never use IE for anything, but it did refresh properly.
Your original question about the S4 firmware. I haven't gotten to it. My spare SD died, so I have to pickup another this weekend and not updating without one heh. I wonder... may have an extra in the digicam
If I do, I will update you.
Why bother with an extra SD card? You can always re-write the original image if the upgrade goes bad.
On my end, I upgraded my 5 S4s and they work perfectly on CK's solo pool. I'd expect the same behavior here. No idea why your S4 is acting up with the overclock, mine have no issues. Perhaps a factory reset is in order?
Another SD card because I only have the one in the unit at the moment I can put my hands on. I haven't had issues with my SD card, but I have read several posts about them failing when people ship the unit or some just reset the SD card in the slot.So I want a spare when I flash.
I am still running 10-16 FW and sticking to stock for the remainder of my warranty because of the 2 PSU failures. I do not want to RMA another one. This last time pushed me to the point of never doing business with BITMAIN again because of one person. and I am smarter than that, but I do digress, (sometimes too much).
I do have big plans for the S4s though. I want to find a platinum rated server power supply which I can setup load balancing / current sensing, adjustments on the fly, hot-swappable, all of that stuff which is good to play with and learn from. (I buy a spare PSU when I buy server PSUs heh) Minimum 2000 watts per PSU, I do like what all of these guys are doing, Jabberwock, Gekkoscience, and the other one I have not remembered the name at this moment arrgghh.
I purchased from http://www.gekkoscience.com/
I plan to purchase several more "packages" if possible. This cat pulled his own working power supplies for me with nice fans and sent them to me so I had them Saturday. I planned on using them for a decent size batch of S3s and keeping usage at 65% using two with a spare. (Always get a spare when you get server PSUs)
The day he shipped my S4 PSUs died that had died previously. Yes, everyone who has read my posts are getting sick of hearing me but I am / was extremely dissatisfied with the way I was treated.)
Anyway, I am not saying I used another part on one of the S4s, I am saying "I had the option" thanks to sidehack. And the option to use one much better than the one which came with it that would probably let it overclock very damn nice. But while under warranty, I run stock. After you can believe I will have fun for about two days overclocking but then spend 2 weeks underclocking.
**Side-note, my ADD kicking in, you should see my room at the moment, I was given an old Dell workstation precision 690 with dual xeons and 8 1GB sticks of ram with an nvidia quadro fx video card. Now I know any of you modern speed demons are laughing at me right now, but this baby is a piece of art, or I hope it will be
Everything stock at the moment, and once I fulfill my obligation I can do anything I want with it.To *earn* this I am doing a side project on virus and malware activity, where we are today, and where will be in 1, 5, and 10 years. If you have an opinion, particularly on "how it will affect crypto user's daily lives". From there take any route, be it a trader, miner, CEO of a hardware company, CEO of a scam company jk, bad joke, and shoot me your thoughts, or any tips.
This is going to be my "server" and I need some advice if anyone wants to comment, and apologies Kano and CK for being off topic. I will delete and move if you want.
I want to use it to run basic VM sessions of some type where I keep staking wallets separated. I also want to use it as my main learning tool for learning linux and serving internal web pages with api information I gather externally. It must be secure. Do I setup multiple boot OS? I want to use the api from kano.is and solo.ckpool.org to make a web page which also includes the actual information from each miner and do all sorts of fun stuff I dream up. (which probably costs me way more money in reboot times than I would ever make from most changes haha) I want to learn to run my own bitcoind node. If my internet speed isn't fast enough at the moment it doesn't cost that much here anymore to go up to a new package. I have 50 download and 5 up at the moment, but like I said... the bitcoind I would like to keep it running forever whether or not I mine using it is something I also need to research more.
I've read the threads about "Do I install the server version or the client?" They all have the same answer, install the client if you want the gui. Well I am familiar with windows server. Which should I run with the efforts I mentioned above? One of the Ubuntu variants or something different, and server or client? I promise not to bug you guys everyday, I will UTFSE, and only ask questions about pool related issues, after this one
**doublesidenote, DoubleADD kicking in because of the Hot Venti with extra shot caramel mocha I had 5 hours ago still kicking my ass. If you want a partner in something you are working on, or I can test something with an S4, SP20, S3, S3+, and don't get me started on the Zeus Thunder 128 I can't run because of the cost, but yeah, I work well with others who enjoy working and trying to figure out a better way while having fun and no stress unless one of us gets ripped off, then it is game on
