Althought worthless, since the server is on its mining with its 2 CPUs and CPU miner.
In the first days using the pool I saw it was hashing but did not get a YAYs thats common with
cpu miner when in other pools.
So today it started also making some YAYs actually running for less than an hour and have already 3
when other days not even one.
How does this translated???

Since Slush has their Diff made to AUTOMATICALLY adjust, does this mean the S4 will be fine on Slush?
Every decent pool has their difficulty automatically adjust. The problem is that they all start at a base level and adjust up from there unless the user sets a minimum level/starting level (which most pools also have the ability to change). If the user keeps the minimum/starting level too low, the S4 will choke to death before it is adjusted to an adequate level.
Thank you, eleuthria.
I just finished reading ck's work around (hack) for the firmware. He also mentioned it may be a little late at this point in production to fix the hardware issue. It's rather disappointing news. I'm not sure what to do at the moment. I'll have to think on it a while. I want at least 22 to 25 TH's mining here at my house with as little power consumption as possible. I liked the sound of the S4 until now. I'm just not sure anymore.
If I remember correctly, aren't you owner or co-owner of btcGuild? If so, does your pool allow me to adjust/set the minimum starting level to avoid this issue with the S4? I know GHash has this ability but I would rather do the guild than hash.
Yes, BTC Guild has had user selectable difficulty on the worker management for ages (just a few days after stratum was announced).
Thank you very much!!!
I'm NEW to mining [September 22, 2014] BUT MOTIVATED! I have 10 S3's hashing at the moment and 6 more S3's will arrive Friday or Saturday along with PSU's. I only want to get 8 Bitmain S4's to bring me up to a total of 23.7 TH's and 16,520 watts at the wall in my house. Looking for a warehouse or something for later to expand my mining farm.
I've only done BTC Guild, Slush, CK'sPool and GHash. I'm NOT a hopper. I've just registered and tried several different pools to see what they were like. I obviously did not look at the "worker" configuration in your pool enough to notice the Diff setting OR I just don't remember it. I know Slush adjusts automatically and probably starts low then builds up like you said. So, I know now I will not be pointing S4's towards Slush.
Thanks again for your help!!!

And others say they don't work on Guild...I love how it seems ASICs are becoming even less consistent than their first generation units.
Occasionally they ping us after the fact and expect us to fix their problems. It turns out the controller is so low powered that it can only process ~30 shares per second which mean that unless diff is set higher, they work their way into a death spiral before diff catches up. Great...

As you know, if you monitor, I move my S3's (4.7 TH/s) here on Saturday and/or Sunday after we find at least 5 blocks on Slush. I had them hooked up this past Sunday for approximately 5 to 6 hours. Your pool connectivity works great with my S3's. I intend to choose either Saturday or Sunday to let them mine THE ENTIRE 24 hours after I get more miners in.
I believe you also know I've mentioned getting nothing but S4's from here on out when I buy more miners. However, you have me a little concerned about them. It sounds like they work fine on your pool. Did you have the opportunity to test them on Slush and see if they performed properly? I would rather use Bitmain BUT I do not want to be pissed off at Bitmain if they do not work on Slush as well as here. Am I safe getting them?
Your reply is appreciated greatly.

Whoa... My worker count just doubled and my hash rate tanked. Doing any pool work ck?
Nope, didn't touch anything. I checked the logs and only your clients were misbehaving. They all seemed to reconnect over a 2 minute timeframe. The worker count can take a while to go down if you hadn't disconnected cleanly and the old instances are still in ckpool's recent memory.Lovely. Thanks for the heads up.
Edit: Yep it was me. All my Ants and 1 jupiter jumped to my backup pool. Weird thing is they are in different locations.

We concluded some S4 testing in the last 24 hours and confirmed they work perfectly fine on this pool. While it may be a conflict of my own interests, I've helped the bitmain team so that they can modify the devices to work better on all pools.

Now you're a naughty boy 
I was looking at my logs trying to figure out why it wasn't showing up at the pool lol.

S3:s cant handle this much stress theyre given from ckpool, they keep rebooting every now and then. Newer has it happened when mined on p2pool, or i havent noticed that. 3 of 4 have crashed in 13 hours..
Ive installed this cgminer to all of them http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
The workload keeps dropping down at regular intervals when you're on p2pool. On ckpool your s3 will be working its arse off all the time, meaning if you are running it at some kind of overclock, you may need to cut back a bit.Ive installed this cgminer to all of them http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
Might be the load, or s3s dont like when stratum connection is interrupted - switching from ckpool to p2pool and back. That happens here, Ill install local ckpool and set that as first backup. S3:s got some bug maybe with stats because those wont display best share with all miner settings on p2pool.
With share diff 1024 best share doesnt show, diff 500 it does..
It doesnt matter here that stats are reseted if it still goes on and finds a block

my s3's are fine, no problems hashing away. maybe you wanna try the 3334 port ?
mine are running stock FW from BM. so far so good here.
Same reboot happened when tried to solomine terracoin, cant remember if it was stock FW then on s3s.
S1 ones rebooted also when tried to solo terracoin, they seem to be stable on ckpool.
Theyre all hashing at +6C temperature so overheating is not possible I think.
Room temperature is +6C
