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 much lower. I'm mining with ghash.io.

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

What batch of S3's do you have and do they have the latest firmware installed?
I did some tests after the original 4.6 was published (see link in my signature) and I experienced reduced hashrate and rolled back to the stock cgminer. However, when I upgraded my S1's with the upgrade kit, the upgraded (with the latest firmware) ones were hashing faster than my S3's, and the only difference was the firmware which I decided to upgrade and voilla, order was returned with the proper S3's hashing slightly higher (and consistently) than my upgrades. When 4.6.1 was published, I installed it on both factory S3's and my upgrades and BOTH hash better and faster than before.

So, to get the best / most out of cgminer 4.6.1 I'd ensure you have the latest firmware AND reboot via SSH after updgrading cgminer rather than restart.
EDIT: - Note that if you flush the latest firmware, you'll have to re-install cgminer 4.6.1 as the firmware has the stock version.

That's interesting. I held back on updating my under-performing S3 after reading your original post about reduced hash rate, but if 4.6.1 fixes that, I'll give it a go. Thanks.

Edit: when you say latest firmware, do you mean this one - antMiner_S320140826.bin which it says supports S3+? I am using ordinary S3s. Cheers.

Edit2: Confirmed by pekatete in another thread. Thanks again.
