In the past 24 hours, my profit is only 0.00729501 BTC with 77.4 MH/s 24-hour Average. Current profit rate is 0.000182 BTC/M, it should be 77*0.000182 = 0.014014BTC. What I actually got is only half. Anyone has the same problem?

Nope.  Mine is exactly as it should be, or very close.

So what was the hashrate given? Was it 1GHs?

Yes 1Ghs.  And confirmed received.

If you type in a small pin number you get the error message in Chinese, you might want to change that to English Wink

Thanks for the potential free Hash.

Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread.

for me the beep occurs once every three hours right when the network switches to a new block.
I increased the difficulty from 256 to 512.  It been 3 hours and no beep yet...

Several pages back when the B1 started arriving some investigation determined the random beeps occurs when there is a HW error.

The plot thickens.  Grin

One of my S3s reports 14,478 HW (I don't think I believe it) while another beside it reports 66 HW (might match the total number of beeps heard). They report 31,614 and 32,399 Accepted respectively, which I'm inclined to believe from the pool stats.

I haven't opened a case yet - gotta do unrelated things for a few hours.

Edit: detail I forgot to mention - both have "Beeper ringing" set to False and I'm not sure whether one or both actually make(s) the sounds.

Edit: more detail - both of mine have been running at 256 difficulty. They can go well over 3 hours without a beep though, then might have a few beeps in quick succession. I'll try 512 in any case.



Yeah once when changing settings it started up and did load of hw errors like that.  A simple reboot sorted that out.

Its defo not a beep per hw error lol

I used a mac mini and terminal to ssh in .


 windows use putty..   same as the s1 here is the hardest thing to remember:


vi /etc/config/asic-freq   same spot  as the s-1

Thank you, its the same as S1 Smiley  Thats handy.

Yep, set it to false and it still beeps randomly.

I got the Beeping sorted
Removed the casing 5 screws each side
speaker/beeper on the top
open it with a sharp blade and pulled out the round steel thingy Smiley
no more beeps  Grin

Oh gees lol.  I wont be doing that. 

Under the Processes tab: one of those processes must be telling it to beep.  And here's what is send to cgminer:

cgminer --bitmain-options 115200:32:8:18:218.75:1106 -o  USERNAME:PASSWORD --bitmain-nobeeper --api-listen --api-network --bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --queue 4096

What is: --bitmain-checkn2diff
and --bitmain-hwerror

Maybe one of those is doing something related to beeping?

Interesting to checkout the real time connection screen:

One S3 is sending (UDP?) packets to:

tock9.usshc.com:123

ntp1.linuxhosted.ca:123

209.118.204.201:123

hydrogen.constant.com:123


Does any of this make sense?



NTP is for the time sync.  Network Time Protocol.  Why its going to ntp1.linuxhosted.ca:123  for time i dont know.  Mine is set to openwrt.pool.ntp.org

I havent looked at the log tho.

to all I am getting very good results with freq 212.5  if your gear is a lessor piece of gear  try setting it at 212.5 down from stock 218.625

How do you get to the config file on these ones?  I had the old S1, is it the same process?

Some comments:

1) Can't the beeper ringing be disabled on the configuration page by setting beeper to false?

Yep, set it to false and it still beeps randomly.

Thanks for the speaker photo, minter12345. I think my wife would recommend a boiling oil bath for it, but maybe I'll insert an on/off switch. That seems like a very big speaker for the application.


No probs, I with your wife about going crazy lol.  I didnt get much sleep with a random beep going off.  Its like torture.

Should be two through hole legs on the other side of board to desolder.  But maybe the tape over the hole on top will solve it as suggested.

I did notice the nobeep option is passed to cgminer, but no idea what cgminer does with that option.

Has anyone found the physical speaker/beeper yet in case metal surgery is needed? I haven't opened the cases at all - just put them to work out of the box (nice gear, Bitmain).


The beeper is in the top left of this pic, the round thing:

Probably a daft question but I won't need CG Miner will I?

Cgminer is already on it, behind the scenes.

Yer that beeping is really really annoying. Is everyone else having the issue?

Im also having this issue.  Beeping set to False but its still randomly does one beep every now and then.  Using a Lan connection, not wifi, incase anyone is wondering.  

It appears to be hashing away perfectly fine.  So I cant work out why it does this random beep.

The manual suggests it beeps when it encounters an error.. but doesnt say what that error is.

I know its not the same beeps as the beeps you get when not connected to a network.

Re: ANN: BITMAIN has Tested Its 28nm Bitcoin Mining Chip BM1382

From the description:

Quiet: The customized heat sinks mounted to the hash boards, one box over S3 to control the air flow, two fans mounted on both front and back ends that mean fans are able to work at lower speed to dissipate all heat easily. This design let S3 run at much lower noise level.

Yep thats what it says, but on their website they posted the screenshot showing both fans running at 2850rpm.  That isn't quiet from my experience.

The fan rpm is quite high.

Yeah at 2800rpm each it will be quite noisy.  I know just one running at 2500rpm on a S1 was noisy.  But maybe the ambient temp where they test is very high.  Who knows.

what are you using what mining software and OS. I have been using linux with cgminer and no problems less than 1% hashrate. (see the red from the graph)

Its the Antminer S1.  And yes I would love to be hitting less than 1% reject rate but alas something in the way they deal with stuff (ntime?) isn't the right way.  Nicehashdev seems to know more whats going on.

Re: [Setup & Troubleshoot] Bitmain AntMiner S1 180GH/S miner

I have 2 Antminer S1's, and they behave differently when I Apply and Save a new Miner Configuration. The first one kind of shuts down for a minute or so and quickly resumes working with no beeping. The second does the same thing, but it takes a minute or two longer, and it beeps almost the whole time.

I know it's not the best description, but can anyone tell me why the difference and how to make the second one behave like the first? I bought each unit from a different place.

I get exactly the same thing happen with my two.  No idea why but eventually the beeping slow one realises it should probably go and do some work Wink  Its not really big issue as I hardly ever need to reboot these things.

minter12345 what exactly are you using now for your password/params?

Are you using the default diff of 512?  Or a "d=256"?

I know you say to ignore the discards, but on the NiceHash status page for my address, I'm seeing a "Round accepted speed GH/s" of 66GH/sec!  Not even close to normal ... ??

Yeah I'm using the default of 512 and it will balance out over a long period due to variance.

As of right now the latest shift was 3 hours ago.  I have 10.64% rejected rate for the shift.  Which is still high but much much better than 60% from before.

Thank you nicehashdev for looking into this.
