Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip
And this, seeing as it's "gripe time" for Bitmain today........ 
@ ckolivas: You my good man, are a LEGEND! I'll be sending a small donation shortly - excellent work & many, many thanks
It's amazing to think that it took you less than 5 hours to produce something that Bitmain failed to do after promising to do so over 3 weeks ago......
Anyone who uses this, please consider giving ckolivas a small donation for helping secure your S3's from security risks, improving their performance & ensuring your hash power goes where it's supposed to go.
@ Bitmain: Please upload updated firmware releases for both S2 & S3 units that incorporate the latest cgminer as you said you would. Not everyone of your users has the technical know-how to install ckolivas's latest work, a firmware update image is much more user friendly and will enable everyone to benefit from the latest cgminer security fixes & performance improvements.
Thanks, in anticipation......
Thanks for posting this!
command to copy this and replace goes like this in case you have a linux box where you downloaded this cgminer:
ssh yourant.ip -l root
scp username@192.168.x.x:/home/username/Downloads/cgminer /usr/bin/
/etc/init.d/cgminer restart you may have to do this twice or simply write reboot and hit enter
I don't have the build environment to create a full binary image, and the code will need a LOT of work to actually become part of mainline cgminer it seems, but for the time being here is a link to a bugfixed binary of cgminer 4.6.0 for the S3 based on the bitmain code. Copy the file into /usr/bin/ on the S3 overwriting the existing one:
