the correct frequency to use in putty is 350m ? 

i shall try that now....will update in a few mins. 

After you flash, you need to manually set the freq. and save and restart the miner.

Hello, i have an s3 that is acting very weird.  the chip frequency disappears on some of the firmware flashes, and it will not hash.  the only time it hashes is with the firmware from 7/21/2014 and it hashes at a speed of 120gh/s tops.  anyone experience anything like this ?  is there an end-user fix...or is this an RMA candidate ?  thanks

(i will try and post pictures later)

My experience - consumption:

3x S3 (218,75MHz) - PSU Corsair RM1000 230V 1000W (12V/83A) - on the wall 1020-1035W, so if efficiency 88%, it means on DC side only 905W (+/-)

2x S3 (218,75MHz) - PSU FSP AURUM PRO 850 230V 850W (12V/70A) - on the wall 670-676W
2x S3 (237,5MHz) - PSU FSP AURUM PRO 850 230V 850W (12V/70A) - on the wall 740-745W

If the figures are correct, then your rental is very good value

Well the B7 units we ordered (6) are all working just as they should. Very easy setup and the fact you can essentially clone the settings to other units makes it a snap when setting up multiple Antminer S3s.

QUESTION:

We have a few of these available for rent on rigrental websites - one of our units is seeing "Spikes" in Hashrate...

As in it normally hashes at speed - then suddenly the charts show a spike in hash - to the tune of 20-30 TeraHash (not a type-o). So the "average" rental hash ends up being insanely high... As in - it normally hashes at 460 ghash - then spikes to 40 thash - so on a 6 hour rental the average comes in around 5 or 6 terahash.

This is only happening on 1 of our 6 units.

Interesting though. Not sure yet if it's a chart glitch - or if in fact the unit is actually bursting to that speed for just a few seconds.

Anyways - good work BitMain!  Units are hashing just like they should!

Strato

PS. Before anyone freaks and is like how is that possible - I'll do some further tests - my gut says it's simply a chart error on the website.

If your not worried about security. On your router forward a different external port to port 80 on each antminer. The you can browse to your home ip then a colon the port number and connect to any of your ants. But id change the password on them ants first.

Try the cgminer PHP example have one ant pull the data from the rest. Have one port forwarded Port 80 or whatever you like. 80 is good if you want browser to immediately load it. Do not have any secure type options available. Just hashrate, what pool, and the like no changes. It will involve learning the API a bit.

Why email? Go to your customer account, to my coupons and you see there clearly "validity time".
If you knew that you had coupons, you must have been there and also have seen the validity time at the same moment.

well i gets a bit more complicated but you could open up for different ports on your router and re-route them on you home network to point to each antminer ( don't forget to change each miners password)
i'm not going to write step by step,, google is your best friend for this.
goodluck

That's the problem, I'm going to be taking my laptop with me when I go out of town tomorrow.  One of the nice things about the Antminers is you don't have to have them connected to a computer.  Is there a way to access them without going through a PC on the network (like with RDP or Teamviewer)?

I'm sure it has been mentioned before, but what's with the shipping method selection Bitmaintech offers?

I'm here in Europe and on checkout it's showing me UPS, EMS, DHL and one in Chinese.

Any preference when letting ship to Europe?

No email, no warning about expiration when the coupons were selected.  The only 'warning' was in a support thread??!

...Weaksauce!

I may not be there when the B8 will be delivered. Do you know if we can easily change in Europe the delivery address once the package is already sent ?

I use GoToMyPC.com to view my PC from anywhere, with any PC to keep tabs on my Ants, as well as other work-related things. It does cost money but has a 45 day free trial. It's super easy to use.

Well, if you want to access your antminers "from the outside" you could point ssh ports for each on your router so for example

you would type this on a linux terminal:

ssh -p PORT_number_for_antminer1 user@IP_OR_DynamicHOST

The ideal would be to change ssh configuration to key authentication so you dont need to type a password.
That would be required for each antminer and your router should point this like:

internal port PORT_number_forantminerN
External port_lowerboundport PORT_number_forantminerN
External port_limitport PORT_number_forantminerN
internal host: INTERNAL_IP_ANTMINER_N

for a dynamic host you would need to use one of those freedns or buy one at dyndns and pay it mothly. that means if your ip changes it will be on a link like: mylink.dyndns.org and you would access your router from there but when accessing via ssh you could use that instead of your usual IP. And at the end you would need to configure it so your router can change the ip automatically on dyndns (they usually have an area for that) <- thats the easiest method for newbees on networking. Remember that making this available from outside is a security issue that might be exploited by third party if they ever knew your dynamic dns or scanned your network.

Perhaps i should make a guide as soon as i set my Antminer S3 up and add it to my blog

Note: you can do this with any other service (not ssh only)

Thank You!! I've tried to make this point but nobody seems to want to hear it.

all this complaining about will it pay off seems to completely totally ignore you most likely already have equipment presently mining that paid itself off months ago... so spending a lil more to boost what is already mining pays that off in a month or less. depending how much mining power you already have.

it seems like a huge oversight in the whole whine. never mind as the complainers whine and whine, the words (SOLD OUT) keep coming and going...
kind of like crying in the corner while everyone just moves along with the flow

teamviewer connects you to your pc in your house. as if you were sitting at it. so the answer is NO.
