Uhhhhh.....it's the miner and GPU that does the work - SMOS is just a web-based wrapper.  I was having issues with my miner, swapped it out with another release and my problem went away.  Give it a shot.  Good luck!

Well, you know, you can always get a previous release of the miner and put it back on the system in /root/miner.org/[miner directory]

Good luck!

Well, tell you what - I'll try answer some of your questions

1.  If anyone can tell me how I can increase the hashrate?
Increasing the hashrate can be accomplished by a number of things, ranging from the obvious voltage and core/memory speed settings, to motherboard purchases, driver upgrades, and using specific cards for certain coin algorithms.  Depending on the cards you have, there are tools available (with varying levels of capability depending on OS) that will allow you to modify those settings.  The type motherboard and bios settings can also affect hash rate.  Check your motherboard documentation to see if it supports higher rate pci-e speeds.  Drivers are a big influence in hashrate.  If the mining software is unable to quickly load/offload data from the GPUs, you will have poor hash rates.  Speaking of miners - some miners do better on certain coins than others, and that being said - the GPU itself may (or may not) be better suited for the type of math associated with a certain coin.

2. Am I have to do the bios modding for gpus??
Normally, the BIOS on the cards is suitable.  You say you are relatively new to this sort of stuff - loading GPU BIOS is a risky task that you probably shouldn't do unless you have significant experience (double that in with Linux OS's).  Failed BIOS upgrades are not forgiving - you will almost certainly render your card brain-dead

3.  Is there any way that I can do bios modding or timing changing on SMOS??
You can make speed, voltage, and Fan setting modifications in SMOS

4.  Or am I have to run windows first to flash bios for gpus then I should rerun SMOS??
I would not bother flashing BIOS unless there is a problem that is preventing the cards from working with your OS/mining software.

5.  If so how I am gonna flash 12 cards in windows??
Refer to the answer in question #4.  Otherwise, you do it one at a time

Hope this helps - good luck!!

Are you getting any error messages when booting up?  If the rig used to work, something must have
changed or been updated and is no longer compatible with the SR setup.  Connect a monitor and
see what's going on.

Borrow a friend's Windows machine

Jester -
Think you've answered your own questions with what you said in the second paragraph above.  Getting the best hashrate is like
brewing the best beer - it takes time, patience and more patience.  YouTube is a great reference for getting info on how to
overclock your cards, but figuring out the 'secret sauce' is going to be up to you 

Walter -
If you have installed the software properly, ssh will work.  If your rig is not available on simplemining.net,
you probably haven't completed the registration process (email in the conf file after building the drive).  There
are 2 accounts (root/miner) with pretty generic passwords, that I highly recommend changing once you get
things running.  Good luck!!

I'm sorry - Bitcoin.  Been mining off and on over the past several years as a node and I'm wondering if it's time to kick the wimpy S3s and S5's that I have to the curb and look at some of the other coinage out there...... 

Stupid question:  Are we in a drought or are we just suffering from a lack of miners (with heavy iron)?

Hello....trying to set up a p2pool/uno node and was wondering if anyone had a p2pool start file for use with Unobtanium.

   No worries.  Yes.  I can log into the bitcoind process - actually watch'ing the getinfo command and seeing updates.

Thanks for responding! Yeah, I know what you mean about checking the basics, but yes, bitcoind is fully sync'd

## Quick Primer on addnode vs connect ##
## Let's say for instance you use addnode=4.2.2.4 ##
## addnode will connect you to and tell you about the ##
## nodes connected to 4.2.2.4. In addition it will tell##
## the other nodes connected to it that you exist so ##
## they can connect to you. ##
## connect will not do the above when you 'connect' to it.##
## It will *only* connect you to 4.2.2.4 and no one else.##
## ##
## So if you're behind a firewall, or have other problems ##
## finding nodes, add some using 'addnode'. ##
## ##
## If you want to stay private, use 'connect' to only ##
## connect to "trusted" nodes. ##
## ##
## If you run multiple nodes on a LAN, there's no need for##
## all of them to open lots of connections. Instead ##
## 'connect' them all to one node that is port forwarded ##
## and has lots of connections. ##
## Thanks goes to [Noodle] on Freenode. ##

Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for the response - I would have thought that bitminers would have come with 'latest' code on them.  Is this a common occurrence?

Would appreciate whatever info could be provided.  I am running p2pool on a Fedora 21 server, and I have built p2pool per the instructions and have started it performing bitcoin mining and when my miner (Antminer S5) tries logging in, this is the error I get.  Can anyone lend a hand??  Thanks in advance!!
