Btw, does anyone know if the new update allows you to mine on eligius now?

I'm testing eligius with 1 S4 right now, it assigned 2048 diff shares pretty quickly, looking good so far. I;ll post back with stats soon. Any other pools anyone wants tested while I'm at it?

Im referring to bitmains firmware update, cause im a noob and dont know how to use ck's version, on that note, im testing it on eligius myself, so far seems to be working really well

just got my tracking number too.. but here's the question, do they expect us to pay for the import duty? and same with sending their psu back to them as suggested in the last email? cause thats gonna hurt my wallet if i have to pay for that again..
Duty? Not in the US at least. Is part of the shipping cost.
As for returns/replacements. No duty as long as parts are marked as warranty replacements. Even if Bitmain wants to old one back as long as marked as a Return no duty applies (plus if any did would be their problem, not yours)

the last time i had an issue with the s2 they took the old hashboard back, they were meant to pay the duty, they didnt pay it, and ups were up my ass for the money, so in the end i had to pay for that too
... We ship things to/from Asia all the time and never came across that before. I'd try and go after Bitmain for the monies. If anything to make it more palatable to them (though it IS their responsibility) email support an offer to buy a set of s3's if they deduct the current btc value of the duty?

The sender has the responsibility as marking it "warranty replacement part" .. I think if you do that the duty should be waved . mark the value of the defective part "0.00"

No?


Yeah I tried to do that, but UPS were being pricks and wouldn't take the part with it valued at 0.00, i had to arrange a delivery a good 3 times, and eventually i had to put a number on it higher than 0

(This version still requires you to manually set the pool side diff to "2048" at Eligius and Ghash.)

How does one set the pool side diff to 2048 on the S4 to mine on Eligius?

Thanks for the setup guide Dogie, really do appreciate what you do Grin

Will you be going into any detail on the 'Miner Advanced Configuration' settings, the bit with the frequency and voltage. If its safe to mess around with it, and what it does?

Thanks again.

I've managed to install the update by taking out the sd card from the antminer s4 and replacing the 'initramfs.bin.SD' with the new firmware's version of 'initramfs.bin.SD'.



It still has the same issue of not mining what it says its mining.. :l

I wonder if that updates everything that needs to be updated. Might try later if I go back out to my garage.

This method of updating the firmware was recommended by bitmain when i had an issue with the s2

and I take back what i said about it not making a difference, I'm mining on eligius and ive left it on for about 10 mins, its starting to see a difference of about 1600 gh/s now, whereas the antminer is saying its on around 1950gh/s / 2th/s
