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).

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 Sad

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

Anyone know if that most recent firmware that says it is compatible with the S3+ also works on the earlier batches? I haven't kept up with this thread the whole time but I have a batch 2 that has never done very well and I wondered if that might help it out.

Just update my S3s from Batch 2 & 6 with the antMiner_S320140826.bin and cgminer 4.6.0 and all is well.

Result is lowered HWE and overall hashrate seems to be improved a bit too. Win!

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?

Maybe some info from this thread could help you out:

Has anyone received their refund on the B1-3's yet? It's been months and nothing. The website just says status "OK"...what is that supposed to mean?

Have you checked your wallet? Refunds were issued in July.

Hmm, no I never received mine :/

Checked the address on the site, it's the right one, but no transaction on the address matching the refunds.

EDIT: NM I see them, all good.

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

@CKolivas Thank you!

I just sent you a small tip to your address.

BTW: I been using the new bin for a couple of hours now without issues.

For those that wan't to update their binary, I used these commands:

cd /usr/bin/
mv cgminer cgminer.original
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
mv cgminer cgminer-ants3-4.6.0-140908-kolivas
chmod +x cgminer-ants3-4.6.0-140908-kolivas
ln -s cgminer-ants3-4.6.0-140908-kolivas cgminer
/etc/init.d/cgminer restart

This way, the reboot is not necessary + you can keep a good name to describe the new binary.

Cheers!

Watch out for the "Neg-Rep-Dogie-Police".....

Using putty, nothing will appear when you type the password - it's a security thing. Just type the password & hit enter - then hey presto, you're in Wink

Tried to use Putty and another SSH program to update CGminer but nope I can't figure it out. Using Putty I connect to the S3 then it won't let me type in password. It is as if my keyboard stops working that is other than the enter key which still works. Am I missing some thing? How do you get the ant to update this vital piece of software?

So, the S3+ is the S3 with a firmware upgrade or is there a hardware mod as well or is that information not available?

If you'd asked me (I know you did), I'd say the S3+ is the S3 from around batch 6, and ofcourse, you'll also get a firmware upgrade.

the s3+ firmware + the 4.6 cg miner has pretty much got rid of the hardware errors I was getting on one of my S3s. ok it was only 1.5% (according to Mantmonitor) now it's 0.0018%.

you can check the version via the api

Quote

if you are on a remote machine, from another copy of cgminer you can do the following command:

Code:

java API version 192.168.1.99

Where 192.168.1.99 is the S3.

Or on the S3 itself run

Code:

cgminer-api version

Yes, I see the version number in the download URL.

Wonder what frequency the S3+'s will be shipped as. Another 11 days or sooner.... And transit will take how long?

Ahh! you found the post about version checking .... good on you.
As far as the frequesncy of the S3+, check the product web page on bitmaintech, off my head it is 440GH/s but overclockable to 500GH/s.
