AntMiners don't show 'big number' hashrate #43

Hi there

Awesome awesome dashboard! loving it.

I have 2 AntMiners running, and although their panel shows the hasrate in the bottom of the panel, it isn't showing the hashrate in the nice 'big number' area at the top like my other cgminer instances are. See screenshot attached.

What can i/we do to fix this?

Problem is on the ancient CGMiner Bitmain used... Kano has put up instructions on bringing Antminers up to speed with later versions of CGMiner specific for S1's.

  1. Update your Antminer to the latest Firmware from here: https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/tree/master/firmware_S1
  2. Follow Kano's instructions on updating CGMiner on the S1 here: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS1

After that, the device will show as ANT instead of BMM, you'll get the proper hashrates shown and no more "invalid date" garbage with bad Last Share data, and you'll probably see more stable operation since the updated CGMiner takes up less CPU/Memory on the limited S1 resources.

@jedimstr: Didn't I fix this with #29? @onepartscissors: If so, you should see the hashrate with the current master, which is for download here: https://github.com/selaux/miner-dashboard/archive/master.zip

@selaux not completely. As I mentioned in that bug (https://github.com/selaux/miner-dashboard/issues/29), Kano found that Bitmain changed many of the API key/values they shouldn't have. The links I provided above include an updated CGMiner for Antminer S1's that is back to "normal".

Can you tell which issues are remaining?

jedimstr commented 10 years ago

Both the hashrate and Last Share time were fixed on CGMiner side.

jedimstr commented 10 years ago

Since this is a bug mostly on Bitmain/Antminer side with well known fixes (mentioned above), I don't think you should worry about this much anymore.

My Antminer also works fine out of the box, at least with bfgminer, but maybe because it's a U1 not a S1.
