I have herd that S4 will be released later on this week.

Re: [5000 TH] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + VarDiff

It's now 21 hours with no blocks. I will give Slush 2 more days and if the results are still way below expected
I will switch back to Ghash permanently. They have variance too, but its tolerable. Nobody is married to any pool.

Everybody thought Maddoff was great too until the day it all came tumbling down.


not sure if I can last 2 more days... starting to think along the same lines maybe 5000TH is becoming too slow with this level of difficulty..

Reckon Slush should drop his percentage to 1% to entice people to stay?

oh I see ... how is that possible ? means bad luck basically ?



yep 27hrs now..heh Smiley

I still reckon luck will turn post this block & we will hit 6 to 7 within minute's. Although it does make you wonder if larger pools like ghash.io are the answer where if you run into a bad block its a maximum of 3-4 hours worst case. However from experience I don't seem to earn as much on those pools as slush's.

After a day of running these with all the lowest pre set freq of 193 un #'d I seem to be having approximately 50% worth of duplicate blocks.

Can someone advise me what the following should be I currently have them set as follows?

Option 'freq_value'          '4f02'  #193M
Option 'chip_freq'            '193'
Option 'timeout'               '85'

Really appreciate anyone's help

Thanx

take a look at this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=629997.0

It is a linear dependence on frequency, so if you lower from 196 to 190 you should at about 970 GH/s nominal

Brilliant thanks, I have just underclocked it to 193 for a start & will probably buy a new PSU...

Cheers for your help

Oh OK, cheers.

How would you reduce the freq to 190 & would this slow the machine down much?

I believe antminer warranty is 3 month. So be quick..


Cheers I managed to sort it by pulling the jumper from the atx power lead powering it switching it off re fitting the jumper & all started fine.

What are the implications of unchecking the check box on the 80 degree cut out.

Has anyone done that?

I think my 2 antminer s2's overheated in the night reaching 80 degrees. There seems to be no life in them this morning. Is there a way of resetting them. I can't get onto the IP as the power supplies are not coming on.

Re: Anyone Know where I can Buy Antminer S2 Board. HELP

I just got my new Antminer S2 5 days ago, and one of the boards is faulty it works for less than two hours and then stops.   Only way to get it to work is shut down the whole unit..   But pointless as less that 2 hours again its stopped. 
My Questions,   is it safe to leave the machine still running.
Is there any contact phone numbers or other emails address to contact Bitmain.  I was emailing a few days ago but since I sent them some pictures no replies?   Must be a holiday over there..

Next Question Can I purchase a new board from someone or somewhere,


Thanking you in advance



I have exactly the same issue, and haven't had any joy trying to get hold of two boards. My only thought was to buy a timer plug & get it to switch its self off every  hours then back on again a minute later?

Let me know if you have had any joy in getting a replacement board?

Maybe your right? Although I got the idea from watching Breaking Bad :-) plety of sites about though I could always move th RV to the next site. I even thought about cheap hotels motels etc... With a do not distub sign on the door.....:-p

What would likely happen is they would want to investigate what is going on. They could have the police come do that, which could lead to its own problems.

True I didn't think of that. Although if you pay the extra $15 for use of their electrical outlet there is not a lot that could be said other than kick you off the site.

I am an absolute newbee just getting to grips on the whole mining concept. Ive too been thinking about solar panels, but have come to the conclusion that if I had an RV with 3 Neptune 3ths systems pulling 9Ths in total. I could drive it into various camp sites & hook my RV up to there electric. Does anyone know how much power you an pull from a camping power outlet? Or if at all know if this would be possible?
