[Antminer S1 Sales open] Price changes daily, now 0.414 BTC for 180GH/s

[pedrosoft]

Guys, an information please

Is it possible to have ssh access with antminer and "view" cgminer with "screen -r" command ?

Thanks

my desktop is connected to the miner via ethernet,  I am able to connect to the miner setup screen sometimes but after i log in and press on whatever configuration tab the connection between my desktop and the miner seems to drop off and the normal browser error screen when there is no connection.

Turning off the psu and powering back on establishes connection (not always) but the same problem happens. 
Now the miner is the new version and its ip address is in the region of my ip address.  Again pinging the ant gets response on some tries and nothing on other tries.   I have connected the psu, one wire per blade so no split wire thing.  Any ideas?

The miner should be connected direct to the router/switch unless you are creating a bridge using the desktop WIFI then via the ethernet port.

Start from default 192.168.1.99 then all you need to do is enter the pool and worker details. No need to connect direct to PC unless you are on a different sub net.

so no need to mess with the WAN or LAN setting's either?  I see the LAN is set to DHCP

UPS actually delivered a day earlier than I expected! Seems like I need to replace one or maybe 2 fans but they got far less dust on them than what others have posted.

how would setting up the 2nd ant differ from the process I went through for the first one?  
is the portion of Susi's setup page about Change IP address of the AntMiner [Option]  have to do with setting up the second and subsequent machines?

The only reason if you want to mess with the WAN would be to set a static IP - my advice: edit the wan set IP to anything you want and disable DHCP as it will get very confused if it has a static ip also trying to get an IP from DHCP.

So

1. Connect to miner
2. Edit wan setting set Static IP
3. Turn off DHCP on miner
4. Set miner pool settings now apply the settings
5. Test on new static ip
6. Happy mining  

Cheers

If you have more than 1 ant all you do is set up each ant at a time. Set each ant with it's own Static IP. DHCP can cause loss of mining when the IP expires.

Thanks

[flipNstack]

thank you

on the WAN tap the Protocol is already on Static address (is this what you mean?)

and turning DHCP off pups up 3 additional tabs  (Start, Limit, and Leasetime)  do you have any suggestions for figures for those boxes

so ive gone through the setup process, seems everything was successful. 

in miner setup, I entered a p2pool address for pool1, and used my bitcoin address as the worke1 name, with some password.

how does do I actually initiate the mining process?

When you hit the SAVE&APPLY.  It will update your settings and restart the miner and start mining away.  If it does not, recheck your pool configuration.

I have noticed that even though everything is correct, you sometimes have to hit save and apply twice before it will actually start mining....not sure if it a particular firmware...but have noticed it on more than one unit....

and is anyone dedicating their miners to work on alt coins,  then converting to bitcoins
considering difficulty of bitcoin, i thought that might be the best thing but no one here seems to be doing that.  Would appreciate the advise

that what i am dong
and i have been doing for the last 2 weeks

Hi pjcltd and thanks again for helping me out when I was setting up my miner

I also have this question as to if its better to mine altcoins rather than bitcoins directly.

I have tried mining UNO but had better results in 24 hours by mining btc directly.

I am currently mining btc but I would love to know if I could increase my daily earnings a bit

Care to share some thoughts?

Thanks

pixl8tr, you scare me.....you could be my identical twin brother from another mother and father....weird

just to throw my 2cents....and i haven't done hard cold figures...but am mining btc and peercoin and litecoin. obviously you are interested in a btc alternative...and a more profitable one at that....not sure if there is one...but peercoin seems like a logical bet only because in my non educated opinion it seems harder to go from $1000/btc to $3000/btc or 3 times the money than for peercoin to go from $6 do $18....and peercoin has the benefit of being the no. 2 sha256 coin so when all the ASICs that can't keep up with bitcoin will have to go somewhere, and I don't think it will be the trash....so they'll go mine another sha256 coin....I think it will be PEERCOIN.

there is no configuration to check,  just entered bitcoin mining address from p2pool.org, followed by my bitcoin address as the worker and password
only one pool info entered but when i click save and apply the browser-like-processing-circle keeps turning nonstop

Yes the configuration I was referring too was the pool URL, the pool port number, worker name, and password. I have seen it get stuck like that once.  I just rebooted and all was fine.  You could always try rebooting it too.

You could post a screen shot of the miner screen to see stats.

When I put save and apply to my mining details it did the same updating swirly doodahh so I just clicked on another tab then went back to the configuration page and the details were there .
