Forgive the ignorance, are Block Erupter Tubes Antminer rigs? I think that message from ckolivas does not refer to the cgminer STILL being shipped by bitmain (potently loaded with the stratum redirection vulnerability, to mention but one security flaw).

My bad, sorry, was confused by this post few days ago that almost announced it:

No biggie there; to err is human.

We concluded some S4 testing in the last 24 hours and confirmed they work perfectly fine on this pool. While it may be a conflict of my own interests, I've helped the bitmain team so that they can modify the devices to work better on all pools.

Interesting here that no mention was made on the security flaws that were inherent in the version bitmain were shipping ... or are we supposed to assume that since he helped with the driver he must have forced them to plug the security holes too.

I think the community needs to get on bitmain's back to release not just the cgminer source, but the firmware source they run on their controller cards for the S1, S2, S3 and S4 (but mostly / pertinently for the S1 and S2 since they have now declared them end of line). I believe there are optimizations that can be made to the firmware code too.
