For a limited time this pool is currently open to the public mining community. There are no fees and a 12.5% bonus is paid out on all bitcoins mined.

Totally not a scam.

Yup not a scam at all, 12.5 % bonus AND there is also a tread that he says he`s giving away 1 free S3 every day for august. ya right.

Is it a scam or?

I mine there and the BTC payments have hit my wallet.

Edit: Paying PPS now with auto payouts. Also the bonus has been paid. My buddy has won 2 of the S3 miners and should take delivery this weekend or next week. Will see if they show.

Signed up.
Rolled 2 S1's to test.

FYI here is my payouts that have hit my wallet.

I have pulled my miners a couple times and sometimes only ran half of them but am sold enough on this pool that I have all miners running there now. ( @ 2.5THs)

I'm sorry but I'm still crying foul here, your the only fanboy whos shown "proof" from the site. For the fun of it I took my 10Gh pi off BTC Guild and put it on both New York and VA, and guess what.... DEAD.

lol

And besides, you know why it's a scam because the pool pays out more than it ever takes in. Your just trying to get hash there to find a 25btc block and walk away happy with it all to your self.

so if I want to run anything higher than the stock frequency, like 237 are the extra 2 PCIe connectors a MUST in order to work or not ?

On the one I am running 237 on I am only running 2 and it has been doing fine, cables are cool to the touch.

Update....the latest firmware is a disaster on my miners...I don't like how the asic frequencies are only read from the rom (read only) for starters...the clock selections defaulting to 237.5 was the first sign, along with the other details I mentioned in the first post I made regarding this new firmware..back to 0721 for me and I don't get x's on stock like I do with the new firmware...all in all I think its a piece of junk and should be pulled from bitmain site...and what is the deal with the july 28 firmware...I had it on a few of my ants and now its gone due to the flash ~~"upgrade"~~ downgrade...I cant honestly see any benefit from having the latest August firmware...and for those who will say it helps with overclocking...if that is the help you need to overclock, please quit while you are ahead Roll Eyes

interesting observations and thanks for sharing. I just saw the firmware update on the site and downloaded but now hesitant to update.

Anyone out there that updated and had no issues?

I put on 4 of my early batch miners and it really made no difference on 3 but the 4th is averaging around 475 on the 237.5 and I am only running 2/4 pce connectors. The other actually were lower on the 237.5 and are averaging the same on the 218.75 freq as they were before. One thing I don't like is that it will not work with antMonitor anymore. If he doesn't put out a fix quickly I will probably take them back as the difference isn't worth loosing the monitoring.

I think the key with the new firmware is that it seems like immediately after the flash, there is no frequency set. So, you'll get like 100gh/s, or some nonsense.

I just hit save and apply at the 237 frequency. And, so far they've all increased. I have 2 running at 450 gh/s, 2 running at 475 gh/s and my slacker is still at 440 gh/s.

Other then that, electricity isn't too much of a concern to me, so you're results might need different adjustments then mine.

Disclaimer: all these numbers are increases over previous settings. My slacker has an X that no matter what I have done it is always there, or always pops back up. Cost me about ~ 5% hash speed since the start, (its a batch 1).

Anyone else see the upgrade kits available? Thoughts?

The upgrade is almost 80% the cost of a new S3+. Doesn't seem like a good deal to me...

What did you expect? You have to swap out the most expensive parts and keep/re-use only a few fairly cheap parts.

Running my S3 now on Eclipsme pool.
I tried a lot of pools none of them work at the beginning including Eclipseme. I tried GHASH and Bitminter.

I was using a blank password on S3 pool configuration for the worker.
As being a system admin changed the worker password to not blank I mean "1".
started to mine immediately.
S3 does not like blank password.

FYI

It does not matter which device your using, an input value of 123 or anything really, is pretty much the norm for workers, as you have now discovered a blank password will usually Not work on most pools.

that asic with the x is heating up and has stopped hashing ..

I don't see why they need my bitcoin address just to register. Suspicious

seem every pool needs that if you want to get paid?

To get paid, yes - to register, no. Insecure.

i think, its for the s3+ bro...

dare I say I know you are wrong... the firmware is garbage and had little to no proper testing in a very limited environment ....why would they release firmware NOW for a product shipping over a month from now...I don't see any firmware for S3+...and put it in the S3 section...cmon Huh

I just noticed this on the bitmain site: https://bitmaintech.com/files/download/antMiner_S320140811.bin

The notes just say "added advanced frequency" which means there is an extra tab for overclocking in the miner configuration page...just flashed now thought I would give a heads up to you all Grin

Edit: in order for the frequency and firmware to work and not come up blank, I used the "save settings" box when flashing the firmware, then after the flash is complete and the miner has rebooted, go to the miner config/advanced tab and hit apply on the frequency you want (it defaults to 237.5 and no idea why 100 is in there), then hit apply on the main miner config page to be safe, then reboot the miner...works for me!
