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.
Batch 8 shipping got my tracking number. Waiting for upgrade kit tracking.
DHL or UPS?
and
when you ordered?
8/14/14 S1 upgrade kits unshipped
I ordered UPS 19/8/14 s3 and is unshipped
Yeah, you can tell they where about to ship... Hash rates been dropping for days.
That month + test they did on those S3's must have required a lot of.... profiting by Bitmain on your investments =/
Good news is, we found out where all that hash came from weeks ago / and where it will go in the next few weeks.

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:

@ ckolivas: You my good man, are a LEGEND! I'll be sending a small donation shortly - excellent work & many, many thanks
It's amazing to think that it took you less than 5 hours to produce something that Bitmain failed to do after promising to do so over 3 weeks ago......
Anyone who uses this, please consider giving ckolivas a small donation for helping secure your S3's from security risks, improving their performance & ensuring your hash power goes where it's supposed to go.@ Bitmain: Please upload updated firmware releases for both S2 & S3 units that incorporate the latest cgminer as you said you would. Not everyone of your users has the technical know-how to install ckolivas's latest work, a firmware update image is much more user friendly and will enable everyone to benefit from the latest cgminer fixes & improvements.
Thanks, in anticipation......
Thanks for your support and help getting this issue fixed. I am one of the less technically inclined who would love a easier / safer way to make the update.
Let's go Bitmain! Stop worrying about how you will make the next dollar, and fix what you promised weeks ago! This looks really bad that a community member could fix the issue in less than a day, yet Bitmain let's it go for weeks, if not months. You clearly have the resources to fix this issue. But don't for what reason? 1 community member fixed your issue in less than 1 day!! Where is Bitmain's team? Working on the next pre-order?
What is more important, making the next dollar, or keeping your current customers happy? If you keep throwing us under the bus to make a dollar, you will continue to have more unhappy customers.
The few reasons I liked Bitmain have quickly deteriorated. I'll be looking for a more reputable company for future purchases!

In two short days it'll be time to put the ROI to the test, especially with the new CGMiner 4.6 and latest firmware. I'm still a believer, and even if it's only "close" to ROI, I'll be a happy camper. The whole point of a hobby is for it to be fun.

So yeah everything has been working fine up until this point.
Yesterday i powered everything off to add a larger PSU to 2 other units instead of using 2 separate PSUs everything worked fine.
Except with one of the Miners i hadnt touched, all the sudden that PSU powered down and shutdown the miner, switched PSU still doing the same thing.
However if i pull out the Network cable it doesnt power down.
I tried resetting it to factory settings and everything started working again until i saved which freq it was gonna run on then it powered down again (so when it starts mining is when its powering down id assume).
Running out of options here now, current plan is to take it apart and clean it if that doesnt help hook it up to a old motherboard and try running it outside the network of miners.
Any others ideas?
lets assume, the 1st miner as A, the 2nd B, the 3rd CYesterday i powered everything off to add a larger PSU to 2 other units instead of using 2 separate PSUs everything worked fine.

the problematic one is C
now, switch C with B
and try to power up B with a single PSU (A and C using the larger PSU)

B8 is sold out. B9 is up but no price yet with shipping to start on 9/20 or earlier (since B8 started shipping already).
i dont think it'll sold out, coz people will see the sign "NEVER ROI" in these S3
and for B9, "shipping start on 9/20"
? i dont think so brothey'll delay it till next month or so, like the L1
even if they're going to ship it in the end of this month, the price will be the same BTC0.58
Read again...right below the price it says "Sold Out"...and below it, the "Add to cart" button and quantity field are all greyed out.
https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020140813125800214NBU85kWt0672
coz, people keep screaming "NEVER ROI", "TOO DAMN PRICEY"
nvm, its good for bitmain if "sold out"
(btw, i ordered some of S3+ too, just for hobby haha)

It doesn't say anything about the shipping date yet, I was going to order some B8 as the wait was less than 10 days but as you say sold out. I fully expect B9 will be ~10th October going by previous batches. Shame as I bought over 40x S1's but since then all bitmain's stuff has been overpriced or long pre-orders
They just took it away. They probably just copied and pasted the B8 info including the 9/20 or earlier shipping info and realized it from my post above and deleted it.

Just get the S3+ upgrade kit then, you'll have a very short lead time (shipping before / by 20th)I sold all my S1's, I refer you to my previous comment about overpriced
