General questions about the S3 now that mine have been hashing for a few hours...
1) Why in the name of all that's holy does it randomly beep? Every now and then it just goes "BEEEEEP!" It's not like it's rebooting... it just decides to let everyone know, "Hey, I'm here! Pay attention to me!"
2) I know the "o" in the miner status means "OK" and that "x" means "error". What does "-" mean?
General comments:
1) At stock clocks it hashes almost exactly to spec on p2pool (my local node). Initially it was around 450GH/s, but after settling down and going for a few hours now, it's about 439GH/s.
2) Overclocking it has far less effect on p2pool than on another pool. For example, at 250, I get about 455GH/s on p2pool. I get 500GH/s elsewhere with the same settings.
The beep is internet connection lost or failed to get work. It will retry to get work or listen for the internet connection up to a point. If it keeps hashing then its doing what its supposed too.
The config now allows you to turn it off if it is really annoying.
