Remember i upgraded my cgminer as well to this version which makes the rigs much faster in response times -

Here's what I've used and it started hashing as usual.
1. SSH into the S3 and login
2. Issue the following commands sequentially.
  a) cd /usr/bin
  b) mv cgminer cgminer.bak
  c) wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
  d) chmod +x cgminer
  e) reboot
Confirm. Both my S3s Batch 7 were upgraded well this way.

CPU load now is about 90% instead of 99-100% with old cgminer. WebGUI is a bit quicker. Niiice!  Grin

p.s. I suspect that it will not work for S2?..

It is valuable to note, also in doing this - my rigs have really settled down and require far less intervention.  All 16 now running this version - my S3's are batch 2 and batch 3


This.

I've been moaning on to Bitmain about this for ever. They insist on using an outdated version of cgminer in all their firmware releases, even the new S3+ - why? It's almost as if they want to keep this version for some (well known) reason......

I know people are probably sick and tired of me harping on about it, but why the hell don't Bitmain just include the latest cgminer version in their firmware?

Life would be so much easier..... Wink
