Well here's the story. I am connected to the Antminer console and also the internet by Ethernet. I can input my pools into antminer but when I check the mining status...nothing. Any ideas? If you do happen to get this godforsaken thing mining I will compensate you with BTC, or the equivalent in some Altcoin if you prefer. Thanks so much!

It takes a few minutes to begin, at least from my experience. First time use of my S1, it took 5 minutes or so to start. Make sure your mining address/s is correct.
