Got out my antminer s1 today, and it doesn't appear to allow the load balance from stock - am running latest firmware. Am hoping that my proper powersupply will arrive tomorrow, so that I can leave my s1 running all the time, need to start making some ROI.
Will reinvestigate once I have S1 set up and running 24/7
You can check if the settings are there on your S1.
ssh to the Antminer S1 as root and copy and paste the commands below:
clear
cat /etc/config/cgminer
cat /etc/init.d/cgminer |grep POOL1
Here's the results that show --load balance with quotaconfig cgminer 'default'
option chip_frequency '282'
option miner_count '24'
option api_allow 'W:127.0.0.1'
option more_options '--quiet
--load-balance'
snipped....
POOL1="
-U $_pool1url -O $_pool1user:$_pool1pw"
#PARAMS=" --lowmem $AOPTIONS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 $_pb --api-allow $_aa --api-listen"
PARAMS="$AOPTIONS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 $_pb
$_mo --api-listen --api-network"
Good luck.
