I ordered 2 yesterday after buying 2BTC at $466/BTC. No shipment yet. If batch 9 a lot cheaper with immediate shipment will be pissed unless good coupons.

shipped my b8 miners this morning. how long does it usually take to ship about a week?
They should give you a tracking number and it should be no more than a few days. My shipment is schedule to arrive in two days...

Has the CG miner modification increased power draw along with the increased performance, or has it increased hash without any additional power usage?
If the latter then this may mean most may be able to ROI, which would be nice.
Also.....any idea if this will have a similar affect on S3+ (Theoretically speaking ofcourse!)

I don't have the build environment to create a full binary image, and the code will need a LOT of work to actually become part of mainline cgminer it seems, but for the time being here is a link to a bugfixed binary of cgminer 4.6.0 for the S3 based on the bitmain code. Copy the file into /usr/bin/ on the S3 overwriting the existing one:

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
Couple of days of running under 4.6.0 now, and very happy. CPU load lower, and less hashrate variance.

Thank you Con!
Does the antMiner_S320140826.bin version work with pre batch 8 S3s? Or does it only work on S3+???
I'm using it on a B5 or B6 with no issues. It looks like it just added support for the S3+
do you have to download recent updates sequentially (0811.bin then 0826.bin), or the last one (0826.bin) includes everything?
I went straight to 0811 from whatever was on by default. You don't have to go sequentially, though I would advise wiping your settings.

I have bricked a S3 with an improperly downloaded frimware upgrade, does anyone know if there is a way to reflash the firmware or to do a hard reset (holding reset button did not work) without being able to access the GUI?
RMA
Pull the board, return it.
wait.

B8 shipment is on it's way. Bitmain I will tell you when you do a great job.
Thank you for the early 10 day shipment.
Thank you for the early 10 day shipment.
Could you report hash difference (if any) after 24hr?
I sure will (and that is why I said "still early days ...".Well, it has been a few days. Can you report any increase in hashing on 4.6.0 in comparison with the stock version?
Thanks.
ive been running with cgminer 4.6.0 for the last 24 hours, and my hashing seems to have increased slightly one of my antminer S3s was usually at 460ish at 237.5 now has been stable at 478 avg for the last 12 hours with error rate of 0.008 %

Just updated my 2 from batch 6. Wow. Huge improvement. I went from 470 G and 450 G @ 250, to about 520G on both. Nice firmware upgrade
updated with bitmain's update or 4.6.0?
Firmware updates rendered 2 of my 4 units inoperable. No hashing. I had to roll back to original firmware for them to hash. Anyone else see this?
which ones (firmware updates)?
This one: antMiner_S320140811.bin
I had this on antMiner_S320140811.bin. I resolved it by re-applying the firmware and unchecking the box to keep my settings. Something about the old firmware settings was causing the issue.

FYI, my Batch 8 S3+ order just shipped roughly 6 hours ago. My order time was 2014-08-13 19:15:19.0. Ten days early isn't too bad I guess...thanks Bitmain!
UPS shows my scheduled arrival time for this Friday afternoon between 2:15pm and 6:15pm PDT...will crack open one of these, post pics, and metrics too once I get them. It's Christmas in September!
