Is anyone else putting their S3's on LeaseRig?  I have a couple on there and everything works great using the bitmain original cgminer.  However, if I replace that with the new cgminer Ckolivas posted I get very erratic behavior when someone rents the miner.  Things like low or 0 hashrate, it reboots, or otherwise just stops mining.  If I swap out Ckolivas' new build of cgminer with the Bitmain original it all runs fine again.  

Am I missing something?  Setting something wrong?  

Same here.  All of mine run better with the Bitmain version (3.12.0).  The 4.6.1 (and 4.6.0) starts off faster, but after letting it run 24 hours, the miner side average was a little lower than the Bitmain version.  And the pool-side average with 4.6.x was also lower.   I'm mining with ghash.io.

EDIT.  I did not mean to say much lower.  I meant also lower.  Just saying I checked both cgminer reported average and pool-side reported average.  The actual difference was not much at all.  But I didn't care for the sporadic behavior of the 4.6 version.  It would report crazy high numbers, like over 600 Gh/s, then very low numbers.

lol... They would not start mining if cgminer was not executable.
