Doh! I for some reason thought that was the system time and it was messed up on the date. Haha! It shows #154 Mon Jul 28 13:12:00 CST 2014

So I'm assuming I should flash it with 0811, which will add advanced settings to miner config to change frequency?

Ahh .. OK :-)

Yes. It makes things easyer to change. But other than that there is no? reason to update!

If you DO update: Remember to go to the new Settings tab -> set freq. -> and SAVE the changes!! Otherwise you end up with ~100 Gh/s Speed !!

I have NO idea why people are buying batch 8, even with an overclock the units wont even return 50%.

In August 19 you posted this...

Anybody interested in purchasing an S3? I have a few extras. I can do 0.7 btc including shipping. Send me a pm if interested. Can ship as soon as tomorrow. Discounts if interested in more than 1.

You must be a real stand-up fellow to try to stop people from buying at .58 while you try to sell at .7

I know... 30 day difficulty, blah blah blah. But for .12 LESS they stand a lot better chance at breaking even.

Pick a side and stick with it already.

I'm not trying to stop anyone from doing anything, just putting the facts out there. Also, I have every right to offer to sell an S3 at a price competitive with bitmains. Personal attacks just embarrass yourself and have no place on a forum like this. I guess you didnt read my other posts where I'm always happy to answer questions or help new people get into mining. However, that probably doesnt matter to a "stand-up" guy such as yourself. Cheers.

S3 makes ~0.01 BTC/day. Today is aug 21, batch 8 is shipping by sept 20, about 30 days later. Even with 20% diff rises, the miner shipped today will make at least 0.2BTC before batch 8 ships, making 0.7BTc offer TODAY a relative bargain.

Can i use my Corsair CX600W to overclock an S3? I think i have enough power but only two 6PIN connectors - am i missing something?

2 pcie connectors are fine for an overclock

But they say in their website to use all four connectors if overclock.

I know they do, I have many overclocked to 250 Hz with just 2 connectors. Search the forum and you will see others have shown that all 4 connections are not necessary. If your unnecessarily worried about it, you can purchase some molex to pci-e connections.

Do i have to remove the red wire from the adapter?

I just got my batch 7 antminers, and wondering how exactly do I know which firmware I am on?

In the overview tab it shows this:
Firmware Version   OpenWrt Barrier Breaker r38031 / LuCI Trunk (svn-r9909)
Kernel Version   3.10.12

Should I flash it with this firmware? antMiner_S320140811.bin   add frequency advanced setting.

If it's B7, it should already have the latest FW (0811), no?

The first line of Status/Kernel Log should show the date of the firmware, if I remember correctly.

I think the only difference between these FWs is how the frequencies are accessed and applied.

Not sure if I am missing it somewhere or what. I tried a search for 0811 in kernel log and got no results. This is the first line:

Code:

[    0.000000] Linux version 3.10.12 (xxl@ubuntu) (gcc version 4.6.4 (OpenWrt/Linaro GCC 4.6-2013.05 r38031) )

I've confirmed with BITMAINTECh that its not possible to identify that an Antminer S3 is different from other from physical review, i've ordered 2 from amazon from some guy who's not BITMAINTECH, i'll be posting about my experience, perhaps i could check which firmware the antminer have and verify that i have Batch 7 (since thats the one "pre-ordered"), any ideas are welcome boys.

what exactly are you trying to do???

I bought 2 antminer S3 that are supposed to be Batch 7 from Amazon from seller: Bitmainantminer <- thats his name on amazon.
They will arrive soon, and i need to verify and certify my self that those units are:

100% working parts & real parts
Never used
Batch 7

So, my only idea since there's no way to verify that the batch is actually BS7, is to set frequencies and see what # GH/S i get.

Why didnt you just buy from bitmain instead of a marked up (and probably used) unit from amazon?

Ok, so I had three of my four B5's on 250 and they ran great but I felt like I might have been pushing my luck some so I put them on 243.75 and man, I must say, from philipma's expectations of what he said I should get. I'm doing pretty damn good.

The first image is the one machine that's never gone past 237.5.

I'll take this as reference for now.

The site says the S3+ B7 were supposed to be shipped the 20th. I have yet to receive any shipping information for products I purchased for more than a week ago. Whats the hold up?

hi everyone

I have received my Antminer S3 and able to power it up. But my IP address is different which is 10.0.0.X. Therefore I can't go to 192.168.1.99 to setup my miner. Can someone teach me how to set the IP address?

Thanks

You have to get into your network / router settings and change the settings in your network to accept the device. Or you can setup the device on another network (with the 192.168.1.99) and then take your machine to your place with all settings done at the other place

if you have a laptop you can take the laptop offline and set it to 192.168.1.1 then use it to set the s-3

you need a laptop with a ethernet connection. here is a you tube on setting up an s-1 which should help

I allways use my 2nd PC and change the LAN address in that to fit the one from the miner.
Then I change the IP of the miner to my regular IP-ranche und restart the miner.
Then back on my all day use PC I pop up the miners web page and do the settings.

Don't vorget to set the IP from the 2nd PC back to DHCP!
