I flashed 2 ant S3's with the latest firmware antMiner_S320140826; after flashing they both started hashing at around 100GH/s. Went back to antMiner_S320140721 which works fine (~440GH/s).

I have one of batch 1 that does 410-418 Gh at default mhz. Did you try new cgminer on underperformers?

I can't wait to see how the stock freq performance as well as OC, I have some B1's that struggle to keep 410 to 430 GH @ default freq. I'll post results Friday.

My order is not yet shipped - But I hope it will be ready Thursday. This early shipment is a very good news.

My newest S3 does not connect to any pools I try to configure

The pools(btcguild,slush) I enter under 'miner configuration' don't work but the factory ones do (ie 58.250.173.48, user antminer1, pass 123). I tried resetting everything to factory settings and resetting the router, but they still consider the pools 'dead'.

I'm gonna try resetting and organizing my whole setup (two working S3s and this one) tomorrow but I was wondering why it considers these pools dead? Its hashing and everything, just can't connect to pools.

Edit: For some reason it just started working. Beats me, I guess I just wasn't patient enough

Grats all on batch 8 logged in this morning as payouts made my 1.16 btc avail went to checkout and was informed my cart order couldn't be accomplished sold out....ugg hope batch 9 has a very quick turn around

Thanks!  Order from 9/1 still unshipped.

Go to your order page and copy your bitmain order number. Go to UPS and click track by reference and put your order number in with Country and zip and if it has been shipped it will show it.

  check your account for UPS # or you support to get email with UPS # to check it.

How do you do that?

  grats and so soon for this B8.

Shipping 10 days early. Way to go Bitmain!

Now how about that price on B9?

Just did a UPS track by reference for my Batch 8 S3+ and it shows a Friday delivery date. Haven't received the bitmain email yet but it has shipped.

Thanks Twib will try it tomorrow night as I've been working all day and now need to chill.

you guys are crazy. plug em in and let run. then go do something else. GO BITMAIN

Which commands, exactly?  It sounds like either you didn't set the execute flag to make it executable (won't run without it normally), you transferred it via the wrong protocol (ascii vs binary), or you simply had a bad transfer.

If you followed any of the instructions here, you wouldn't need to reflash the whole S3 since you would have a backup cgminer (the original one) still on hand.  Simply rename it (i.e. mv cgminer.bak cgminer) and you'd be back up and running.  Changing out cgminer shouldn't do anything else to your machine, so putting the old one back should be all it would take.

Here's the instructions I used, with a short explanation of what each does:


cd /usr/bin                         # move to the correct directory that has the original cgminer file
cp cgminer cgminer.orig      # makes a backup of the original file so I still have the original one on hand to copy back
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer             # retrieves the new file on top of the old one
                                                                                                                            # (this preserves the permissions, including executability)
ls -tralF cgminer*               # list all files that begin with cgminer - look for the same execution settings
                                        # (Settings on the left should read "-rwxr-xr-x" indicating it is executable, and it should be 502276 bytes in size)
                                        # if the flags for x don't look the same simply type 'chmod a+x cgminer' without the quotes and hit return/enter
/etc/init.d/cgminer restart  # restart the miner process - no need to reboot!


Hope this helps!

SSH in and execute cgminer -V
Make sure you reboot after installing before you run this.

Where can i see the actual cgminer i am running?

Thanks up on 4.6 now.  Thanks

My B8 order shipped, says it will be here friday
