ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.319/GH & 0.51W/GH

[toptekk]

My S5 had spent 48 hr sitting in Shenzen customs. I understand when US customs ask for stuff here, but it is clear that something was probably missing at chinese customs as far as paperwork that should have been provided by BMT is concerned. Or did customs at shenzen got tired of miner deluge?

Anybody else had this experience? Comment from Bitmain?

I don't understand why UPS can get stuff to me in 48 hours but F'nEx can't seem to get out of the country!  My shipment looks to be still sitting in China as well after being picked up 2 days ago.

Last time I order form BMT i used fedex to save one or two bucks and ended up paying it any way , i got charged 17.00 bucks for import taxes, I found out later on, should have been 6.50, the extra was some kind of fee they put on it and they told me custom's charged, they didn't but on the bill FedEx sent me the extra was a fee for them paying the 6.50. then I called them about it and was lied to.the import tax at that time was 6.50 not 17 $, i still question if I had to pay that .


I got it in 4 days time the service in GEN was bad,so i won't use FedEx ever again . and yes i watched  Fed ex's site they had problems with custom, it was held up for what ever reason still don't know how i got it in 4 days .

If anyone is interested, here is updated firmware for AntMiner S5 with extranonce.subscribe support and fresh cgminer version:

AntMiner S5:
https://www.nicehash.com/download/AntMiner-S5-SD-firmware_cgminer_4.9.0_nicehash_and_performance_graph.tar.gz
(There is some additional features in S5 firmware, performance graphs like on sp20e, they can be accesed by pointing browser to http://miner_ip/cgi-bin/graph.rrd)

Example of s5 performance graph:

Details explained here: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=software#asic, firmware was prepared by smit1237 (thanks!).


Kind regards,

Awesome upgrade !  Well worth it just for the new graphs - Makes an S5 look like an SP20

My S5's get a lot of "Share above target" messages.  I'm mining with my own local Bitcoin P2Pool node.  The node performance is fine, GWT Latency is fine (<300ms daily average).  The share above target messages are only seen when I enable Verbose mode with cgminer.  Hashrate and Work Utility stats seem fine.  My question is, is this a problem?  Thanks.

EDIT:  This is a P2Pool issue only.  Manually setting pseudo share difficulty got rid of reduced the messages, as long as I didn't set the value too high, which I don't understand.  I'm using BTCADDRESS+1024   Again, the share above target messages can only be seen if verbose mode is enabled.  I don't know if this is a real issue or not.  I tried other P2Pool nodes too, with the same result.

There's no readme file in the S5 package, this is my first S5 so I don't want to damage it, do you have a link to the upgrade documentation?

[smit1237]

Digitalmocking, Just load it via web interface. Like regular bitmain update. Do not modify tar.gz archive.

Thanks Smit!

Is this official firmware or only for people that don't have concerns about Warranty should use? 

[smit1237]

Based on official firmware, with official cgminer source, with nicehash patch, repacked by me, no this is not official, i'm not working on bitmain. This firmware fully working, but you load it at your own risk.

What's up with the "Modify Voltage" settings under advanced configuration ?  Sample values please

Sorry was not trying to offend.  

I like what you have done and will definitely update to it once my Warranty is over.  

Thanks for working so hard on this for the community.  Things like this make a good product even better.

Keep up the good work.

Voltage settings doesn't work at all, this is only to silence errors in cgminer, to overclok you must raise voltage on psu. Formula is vin/15=onchip voltage. I run mine on 12.7 volts with 1.4 th/s with 800 watt at wall. PSU is dps-2000bb.
You can put 0725 value
Driveon, No problem  

[Dr Charles]

got my (2) S5's in the mail this morning and they are up and running smoothly now. thanks Bitmain

After about 3 hours I am tracking 2.1+ Th/s at only 1,050-1,065 watts at the wall for both S5's. All default settings so I am surprised I am getting better than advertised w/gh. Plus, I was nervous after seeing everyone talk about how loud they are but honestly I think they are more quite than my SP20E's and definitely more quite than my S4 was so I am all around happy.

How about one for the S2? Nicehash has firmware for all antminers except S2

Based on official firmware, with official cgminer source, with nicehash patch, repacked by me, no this is not official, i'm not working on bitmain. This firmware fully working, but you load it at your own risk.

[smit1237]

lex_minutor, S2 based on beaglebone black too?

Asked this earlier but didn't see an answer;

Is there a way to change the mining speed/overclocking/fan speed via a cronjob like I do with my SP20 boxes?

Is there a long answer? :p

There just no crontab at all in firmware, and no space for additional software, i don't understand why they  used 256 mb flash , and left for /config only 20 mb, so we are limited to 20 mb firmware size.
And you simply can't control fan speed, also there is no possibility to change voltage, you must raise/lower input voltage to overclock/downclock. I'm kinda expert in s5
Maybe i can rebuild u-boot and change partition layout, but i need beaglebone black for experiments, and don't have money to buy them

It appears Bitmain is shipping some used hardware as part of the Batch 5 units.  I just received 2 S5's and one of them has bent cooling fins on the bottom, and a considerable amount of dirt in the fan and cooling fins along with scratches on the sides of it.

I'm new to AntMiners, but my experience is not starting off as a good one with Bitmain if they ship obviously used hardware, while claiming it is new.

[smit1237]

ThunderMine, Yep, this is obvious if you not first time buyer, this is from their cloud, i'm glad if i receive miner in working condition
