Thank you for that kind advice. I don't have to pay for electricity though.
Whats more interesting to me, is to get the best performance with the lowest noise.

at bigblind your settings are still okay since you have the 115c that is not bad.  120c is bad.

now you are getting about 868 watts/ 1376gh   this is 0.63 watts per gh.  if you have a really good psu you are lower maybe 825 watts / 1376 gh =

 0.6 watts per gh

A slightly lower clocking may fix all issues.  do you know your power prices?

in this example I shifted the calculator to your machine clocked at 1300gh  it will be more power efficient  and it earns within 1 penny the same money after power cost.

so your fan setting of 7 will be a little better maybe you can set at 6 via auto or ssh. easier on the psu and on the sp20. 

this is with 10 cent power and 258 usd a coin

can anybody tell me why one of the ASICs always is so hot?



Is it because of the hot air from the others?

If you set on auto, SP20 will adjust power usage upwards until one of ASICs hit 115C at the lowest fan.
Then, it just keeps the fan at the speed where no ASICS are above 115, but yeah, it is one asic that probably gets hot air from others.

the feature sounds pretty good. But the lowest autosetting (I think its 10?) is a bit too noisy for me.. Sad

now you force fed 7 via ssh  and you have it running at 1376 gh.


lowest auto setting is 6   but you clocking at 1376 gh never lets it drop to 6.

Whoops, wasn't asking for advice on the power settings. BTW if you select any of the "Basic" settings, it auto puts those super high wattage figures in. Anyways, I'm happy with my current power to hashrate figures so not going to muck with those.

My pictures were intended to point out that I had the extranonce setting on 2 and was still seeing cgminer4.7.0 in contrast to what the previous poster mentioned. Trying to get that issue resolved.
As you have, plus adding #xnsub to the end of the URL and a restart worked for me on all miners.  i.e.
Code:
stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3334#xnsub

I have used this config and It doesnt seem to work in westhash.

Also, my miner has this config:

CGMINER Version : NA

what does that mean?

I cant enable extranonce.subscribe

I wasn't able to get the extranonce.subscribe to work either at Westhash.  I did contact westhash support, and below is their email response.  I ran the below commands via SSH Putty, and it worked like a champ!


The only additional thing is for you to enable extranonce.subsribe functionality. First you have to upgrade to latest firmware. Then it is not so easy, but if you are able to use SSH (download putty), you can connect as "root" (password "root") user to your miner's IP address and issue these commands:

cp /etc/bin/cgminer /etc/bin/cgminer.orig
cp /cgminer-extranonce  /usr/local/bin/cgminer
cp /cgminer-extranonce  /etc/bin/cgminer


Then set your pool connection URL like this:

stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3334#xnsub

And restart miner.

There was a blackout in my house.

Now when I go to myminer.io I cant open my SP20 control page.

I try
 ssh [email protected]

I use the password root and I get the message  "Permission denied, please try again."

But when I get to westhash web page I can see my miner is working.

what can I do to recover my miner management without restarting it?

thanks

Just enter its IP address as the URl for your browser and the SP20 User Interface will open. If you do not know its IP address then downlaod the free utility Advanced IP Scanner and it will list all network devices.

Has anybody set a static IP address for their SP20? I found the "Network" section of the Settings page. As you would expect, the "Use DHCP" box is checked. When I uncheck that box, all the usual items for the IP address and other usual IP addresses on my network are set as you would expect from when it got them as part of the DHCP exchange. I then just change the miner IP address and leave all the other stuff as it was since it's correct. I hit the "Save" button. Nothing obvious happens. When I do anything else, the Netwrok essentially reverts to "Use DHCP".

Is this something I need to do via SSH, or am I just missing something on the Settings page to actually make it "stick"?

I did and it worked. Are you sure that you don't have an IP address conflict?

I am running 2.6.14 firmware. Does that match your SP20? When does the change seem to take effect on your system? Do you have to reboot, or what?

I do appreciate the comment.

Also of note, the primary Spondoolies thread appears to be unlocked now.

I assume you mean the change from DHCP to static IP. It took effect as soon as you save it, if it can find your DNS server.

Where is this primary SP20 thread Huh  I want to vent my spleen on it.

I had to enter my AT&T DNS server address and when I saved it the box displays
Code:
#Your static network configuration
instead of the actual DNS server IPs. Check to see if your ISP has its own required DNS servers.

[We don't cut corners (e.g. embedded controller, etc) and we use dc2dc which means that the BOM is higher.]

If you don't cut corners then why didn't you install an internal microSD card Huh

I had to go buy one in an attempt to revive several DOA SP20s. I had to go to 3 stores before I found a card and reader ($19) for this thing I'll never use for any other purpose.

AntMiners have an internal SD card so one can reset factory settings by pressing a button.

Help
I have one SP20 I can't get online. I can access it over the IP, the box has neither light on, it simply says that the miner is offline, awaiting pool, rebooting, restarting, has no effect.
How can I trouble shoot this? the Asic page doesn't load properly Sad "The miner is not running or waiting for pool connection."

Any idea's, what do I do next.

I also have another miner with a downed section, it seems the plug is the issue.
But which plug is for which? Thank You

so stock it is only working at 1.4 TH/S not 1.7 TH/S as they listed ?

you have a choice of watt settings.  70 to 288

288 is max and will do more then 1700 maybe 1750

problem with  this 288 x 4 = or 1152 watts

very few pcie wires run well at that setting


evga 1300 and evga 1600 can do 250 all day all night for months.  I have done it with them.

I have no other psu that will do that with stock wires.

So if you want max setting of 288 to get your 1750 you are really pushing the machine

Like I said it is their marketing decision.  

I would  say this is a 1600gh machine and with  a carefull overclock it does 1725.

Since I set my machine at 180 watts x 4 = 720 draw or 750 at kwatt meter  vs 288 x 4 = 1152 draw or 1300 at kwatt meter.

  I don't care a single bit about the difficulty to reach max gh.


I found this to be very true with gpus back in the day:

  you may get .5gh with a hd7970 and use 170 watts

crank it to the max you get .66gh and use 300 watts.

Hard on the gear hard on your ears . ( < That reads  like porn not meant to)

So I underclock and I am happy.  Those looking to squeeze everything out of this machine will need really good pcie wires really good psu's and will be maxed under 1800gh for sure.

where I live electricity is close to be free.
I have a 850w EVGA (80 bronze plus) and a 750w Corsair.

Do you think it's wise to have the PSU max to 265 ?

Should I set the fan speed up to 100?
