Hope I didn't screw up.  I tried to set the IP of my S3, did it for my S2, now I can't find it the S3.

I have an S1 using DHCP
An S2 static
As well

Can I reset the S3?

you can scan your network with http://advanced-ip-scanner.com/  works with a windows pc.

Great thanks, can't find these any way I know in win8.1 or Airport.

There should be a reset port next to the ethernet port if I' not mistaken, like a lil pin hole thing.

Thank You!!! Trying to figure out my scaling strategy.

Ok who is pre ordering the S3+'s today? Besides me.
I'm in for 2. I'm betting Bitmain surprises with early shipping.

Just got two, smell great, beautiful items, but I cant get them to work.  I suspect a config issue, but usually its 5mins.  Oh well my faith remains in this Company, though I still love the S2 most.
And this is how you convert an old bathroom into a 2.6 Th/s antminer S3 farm.  Smiley

All six miners and Corsair 750W PSUs exhaust out the back window. Fresh air is drawn through a cracked window on the opposite side of the bathroom. Each miner is stable at 218.75 stock frequency and averages 440 Gh/s per miner. 39C-40C average temps on each. I opted for one PSU per miner as I may decide to OC and got a good deal on them.

May never ROI at my electricity rates but I'm more of a hobbyist anyway...and this was a fun project. Smiley
YOU NEED 6 MORE.. NICE JOB
Thanks! I broke down and ordered twelve more of the S3+ models that went on sale as part of Batch 8. Suffice it to say they won't fit into this bathroom though...I'll be putting them into a custom built room in a property I own that I previously used to host twelve of the S1s. That should give me at least 8 Th/s by the end of September. Smiley

Can't believe after using Ants for a year, from large U2 farms, special drivers, etc, to standalones it is the newest product I am banging my head against the wall over.  From what I read Bitmain is using the S2s to power their mining. I don't blame them any used ones for sale?

A quick question to Slush's.  I am thinking of giving up mining against your pool.  Nothing personal, just with only 2Ghz, it's never really going to be worth the hassle.  I have 0.00308557 BTC reward in my account.  Any way I can get it out?  I would like to have something to show for my time and effort.

Thanks.

Shaun

What if you change your payment threshold to 0.00308557

Would that work? Or is there a minimum threshold?

Also - if you are in NZ I could sell you a 180GH Antminer S1 for cheap Smiley then you could mine up a little faster.

http://support.bitcoin.cz/Knowledgebase/Article/View/11/0/is-here-any-instant-payout-button



Then I guess Slush gets to keep anything that get mined and abandoned.  Probably a nice little earner.

You realize .01 the minimum is only around $5. USD?

Hope you would further realize the difficulty in getting that 0.01 BTC (approx $5.93 USD today) converted to "cash" when the typical minimum Conversion amount is 0.1 BTC (approx $59.30 USD). Your $1.83 isn't gonna make Slush break a sweat. He already get 2% of every block resolved (roughly $300 USD) so he smiles everyday on average 6 times per day, and breaks out into serious laughter when the "luck" is running high. But then of course he does have operating expenses that I wouldn't even want to ponder............... so, eh!

Still there should be a manual payout even with a large fee.  It adds up, slush laughs harder, but its really only proper.  Some of us want our .009.

Also it costs me to get the .009 and if by chance BIT goes Berkshire Hathaway and its worth 500k in ten years .... which it must since BIT is limited quantity or it will die.  If we were regulated this would not be, so to prevent regulation is self regulation.  It hasn't worked on wall street if it can't work here I am sad, this is the start of a new economy but only if we don't go wall street.

hi all, so after week of mining, I am still confused and I am hoping that someone can explain few more things.

So am I reading this right that blocks play critical role in rewards. E.g. if a pool has not found a block for 5 days, then we are all only getting tiny payout? e.g. at 550gh/s I am getting approx 0.0025 for each block found and in last few days we had a good run so there were quite a few. So thats cool. However, if the pool has not found a block for a week lets say, does that mean that all I am getting is the same 0.0025 ? If that is the case, I understand now why ppl are jumping pools but how does the equatino work out over long term if I stay with the pool, does it balance out ? Also, how many blocks on average does Slush's pool find ? Where can I find that statistic?

also regarding the long periods to find a block, if the above is true, then its bit crazy as for example, if I am running a 1THs setup which would chew up approx 900W of power that would equate to $5.40 electricity cost per day but if all I get is 0.0025btc, thats only equal to $1.50 .... so thats why this all confuses me. If someone could explain, that would be great. thanks

You get your share no matter how long it runs.  Holding participants static, then yes every hit will get you the same. Why would it be different.  If it takes 10 people to find something in an hour you split it.  If it takes the same  10 people to find the same thing in five days you split what you found.  In this case a block of 69 TIT.  Doesn't matter how long it takes.

Can someone explain, my reward seems to be about the same for each block. Is that right how it works? Even if I have lets say 5THs miner setup and it takes a week to find a block, I will get same reward ? And then its also possible on other hand to find 10 blocks in one day and get reward for each one within that time period?

That is correct.  You get a share of the pot and assuming all players are in it the whole time, your share will be constant.

Slush just posted this:

Dear miners, the recent mining days showed some bad luck. The difficulty has risen again a few days ago, too. I am posting this as we have been receiving questions regarding the 3 invalid blocks and the extremely bad luck. There is no issue with the mining infrastructure. The luck will recover soon. Keep mining. Your slushpool team

Where was this posted? Why don't they ever post here anymore?

Yes I would like to know where this was posted, or did someone just make it up.
After the last few days you'd think the owners of the pool would have some comments.


Slush called me on his satellite phone from his yacht in the Bahamas.
OK I lied, it was here https://www.facebook.com/MiningBitcoinCz

Whats "facebook" ?
I'm old and retired and need slush to supplement my income.

20% of the 140 block - is at least 7. Where are they? Huh Huh Huh

One has to wonder, just last week, while we had some 12 hour runs, things were chugging pretty good.
