Bitmain E3 Problem

Post by Hundoren » Mon Jan 04, 2021 1:15 pm

Hi there. I am a new user. I registered 2 bitmain E3 (190h / s) machines.
All 2 machines have been operating for 23 hours. On the page it says that my 2 machines are active but it says:
Mining Live
Total Workers
2
Ethash
0.000 H/s (2)

Yet all 2 machines have been running at an average of 200 h / s for 23 hours.

The setting you set is:

stratum+tcp://eu.prohashing.com:3339
Hundoren
n=Antminer,o=Ant,i=e3


Please someone help me what's wrong.

use this following only on pool 1 in Miner General Configuration. pool 2 & 3 leave empty.

Miner 1

stratum+tcp://eu.prohashing.com:3339
Hundoren
o=Ant,i=e3,n=01

Miner 2
stratum+tcp://eu.prohashing.com:3339
Hundoren
o=Ant,i=e3,n=02

Thx edmundtan but not working.
Same situation :
Hashrates Live
Total Workers
2
Ethash
0.000 H/s (2)
For 14 minutes both miner go at 200h / s. But according to the website, their speed is 0

But you may need him 30 minutes -1 hour to be able to see the website ...

I have 4 - E3's. I had them mining a few days back testing Prohashing & they all mined with no issues

The only thing I have in the password field is: i=e3

Url
Username
Password: i=e3

Good luck

Unfortunately, there is no change. And the miners are going.

The configuration you have is incorrect. As the documentation states, never specify the same pool in the primary and backup pools.

Some miner software will establish multiple connections at the same time. In this case, the miner may be establishing two connections to the same mining server, and the mining server in that case will disconnect one of them.

Did that resolve the issue?

Unfortunately not.
I'm trying this now but I don't see miner speed:
stratum+tcp://eu.prohashing.com:3339
Hundoren
i=e3

Only 1 is set, I deleted the other two.

Could you clarify what you mean when you stated that "you don't see miner speed?"

Where is the speed not visible? Is it in the miner status panel from your hardware? Is a field missing on the Prohashing website? Or, does the worker's box not display at all in "Live worker status?"

Dashboard:
Mining Live
Total Workers
2

but 0.0 H/s

But when I go into the miner's surface there I see real speed: 200 h / s
For both.

ALL - there is a known boot up issue with the Bitmain Antminer E3's being too cold

The behavior is the same exact one as the DAG file being too large which causes no shares to be accepted or rejected BUT ALL OF THEM SHOW AS HW
(HW = Hardware Errors)

YES they look like they are mining they show hash & they show temps BUT ALL ARE HW errors = Accepted = 0 Rejected = 0 HW = everything
You can see this in the E3 web interface

I have proven this beyond any reason of a doubt & so have other miners - its reviewable here
https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/co ... 0001311506

Bitmain Antminer has BOTH E3 fans running 100% at 6100 RPM while the miner is doing nothing? If the boot up temp for the Antminer E3 is below 30 C THEY WILL NOT BOOT UP
They will error with the same exact hardware errors

Warm your miners/mining room, put a hashing miner exhaust in the E3 - once warm enough THEY WILL START HASHING AT 7 minutes - if not, keep warming room & rebooting, they will hash sooner or later around 7 minutes

***DO NOT USE FIRMWARE v560 - Per Bitmain Support it is for Ethereum blockchain ONLY
Update to firmware v540 to mine ETHash algorithm on other chains
