All my TX id is same as the previous one that worked, this one however never ended up hitting my account.
Is this a unique issue or happening to others? I have a support ticket in now. Hopefully it is resolved soon.

What are recommended PSUs for Antminer S3 to buy - in Europe/US?
I don't know much about PSUs, so a link to a PSU 101 article (at least as it relates to bitcoin mining) would be welcome as well.
I read:
http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/24intr/best_corsair_psu_for_my_antminer_s1/ch7mntp
"Efficiency ratings describe the amount of electricity that the PSU loses as heat while powering the unit. Because miners are always on and consume a lot of power, more efficient units generally recover their higher purchase cost in less than a year. In nearly 100% of cases you'll save money by buying a platinum (or gold) rated PSU."

Sorry for quoting myself, but any help with this? From a total beginner level, like understanding power draw on the PSU. Thank you.
Something to remember, when you select a power supply(s) keep in mind that even if you select the best 80 Plus Platinum supply, you'll want to get one rated at about twice (optimum/peak efficiency of most power supplies is around 50-60% of rated power) of what you'll be pulling through it. So if you have 2 S3's and they're overclocked and pulling 374w each, then that's about 750w, so you should be looking for something in the range of 1200-1500w in platinum or gold rated. (also keep in mind that some power supplies have multiple +12v rails that usually max. out at 30A each, which might not be enough for a overclocked S3, so a single +12v rail might be a better choice)
Also, if you want optimum efficiency, use a 240v source if available (some houses have a 220-240v line for washing/dryer, be sure to switch the selector on the power supply to the correct voltage before you plug it in) which should add about 2% addition efficiency.
Perhaps a better suggestion would be to look at the efficiency curve of the PSU since although your assertion about effeciency at 50% load is accurate the difference doesn't necessarily result in savings that offset needing to size up to a 1200-1500 when a 750-1000W will do.. For example for 80 Plus Platinum at 50% load it is a minimum of 92% while at 100% load it is 89%, and PSUs will move around above that bottom threshold.

Hi,
We would honor the promise of earlier shipping than Sept. 20th
Great news!
It should be good enough for 500w, enough for an S3 but you may need to add a 5v load to get full efficiency. A 4r7 ohm 10w resistor across the 5v lines may well solve your problems
This is not necessary. A simple jumper/bridge (paperclip or whatever) will do just fine.

the new EVGA B2 750+ supplies come with a jumper header for using the power supply not in cases!
They have accepted their power supplies are being used for MINING!
Does anybody have the commands for installing nano on the s3 by putty?
Tried "opkg update" and "opkg install nano" but get errores on the first already
Tried "opkg update" and "opkg install nano" but get errores on the first already
The repository in /etc/opkg.conf is incorrect, so it doesn't have any packages to install. However even if you fix that (add /base to the path), there isn't a precompiled nano package for this openwrt variant. I suggest learning some basic vi skills, as it's the lowest common denominator in the editor world (any *nix machine will have vi).
Pathes have changed on openwrt repository server, there are now 5 different pathes. You have to change /etc/opk.conf:
Code:
root@antMinerS3:~# cat /etc/opkg.conf
src/gz barrier_breaker http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/packages
src/gz base http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/base
src/gz luci http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/luci

dest root /

2 weeks ago it was working

Did people get coupons for ordering in batch 4?
I never received any just wondering if Im the only one

Really where did you see that? The website still says .58.

Is it possible you were looking at the .46 on the S1 upgrade page not the S3 purchase?
I guess I was sleepy
L1 ready to Pre-Order 
ship in December

Thank you . As of today I have reached ROI on all my S1, S2, and S3 purchases in aggregate, Partly due to your business model of reasonably priced hardware for immediate shipment which allowed incremental increases to my hashrate.
Your previous business model made you the success you are today. When you return to selling from stock at reasonable prices I will be happy to continue my patronage. I am ready to buy more hardware now but you have nothing available.

That is encouraging to hear.
S3's from B5 are about half paid off give or take a few% Trying the new cloudmining from them with a small amount of btc to test.

Hi,

That's great news! Is there any chance you'll be providing coupons to those who ordered from batches 5-7? I'm holding out for either a better price or a coupon.
i dont think so bro...
they also want to profit from their hardwares, so it'll be "impossible" for them to give us coupons
