hello someone can help me?
I changed the protocol in DHCP before inserting my pools information

Now I cannot access the S3

What can i do?
DHCP tells the miner to connect using any available ip address on the network.
Fire up a cmd prompt on windows
type ipconfig /all
find your network address…
usually its 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1
log into your router by using one of those addresses above.
there should be a list of connected devices you should find the miner address there.

Guys 10,000 RPM is impossible.  I have high RPM PC fans that size and I think they run at 2000 RPM. Not even sure I believe 4000RPM fan speed.  That's what the small GPU fans on a 290x run at, 4000RPM and they are very loud.  

google delta 10k rpm fan.

Not saying these fans aren't glitching. But these do exist.

I am sure such a fan exist, but 10,000 rpm at this size it would make it windy in the room. You hard drive spins at 10,000 RPM.  I can't buy it Smiley

I just tried to log onto my S3 and get the log in page but once I enter the password and try to log in this is all I get:
 /usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:448: Failed to execute function dispatcher target for entry '/'.
The called action terminated with an exception:
/usr/lib/lua/luci/sauth.lua:87: Session data invalid!
stack traceback:
   [C]: in function 'assert'
   /usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:448: in function 'dispatch'
   /usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:195: in function


It's still mining and hate to reboot it in case it would not restart unless someone can tell me what this means. Thanks

But then again rebooting or using the reset button may be my only option?

i cannoct connect the miner also with direct cable miner-pc

the pc address is 192.168.0.xxx

i changed it according to dogie's guide to 192.168.1.1  and connect the miner

i changed the protocol into dhcp client ands save and apply

after no more connection, also repeating the same steps

the problem is that i didn't set the pools data



why change to DHCP?  It is simpler and more reliable to stay with a fixed IP address in the range supported by your router.  You can always go back by using the reset button (on the S3 it is behind a hole in the front panel, see Dogie's guide under 'troubleshooting').
(The 'D' in DHCP stands in this case for 'Dumb'....Smiley  A fixed IP (as long as you use a different one for each Antminer) is repeatable, predictable, easy to monitor and free of DHCP lease issues.

I downloaded the app Fling to my smart phone. Once you do dhcp the router gives it a random IP so I would go down the list on my phone looking for it which either starts with Shenzhen or Paragon and this will show you the IP. I later learned to just stay with Static and change the last two digits of 99 to an unused IP number or numbers which again the Fling will show what is already being used.

DIV - Your "Virtual Life" Secured and Decentralize
I have a problem. My "Authorized Distributor" has done the following.

I (stupidly) agreed to overpay on batch 1 S3 because I wanted a batch 1. They usually make money especially batch 1 where you have good clarity on what difficulty might be when they ship. I paid very early on July 1.

I received my confirmation emails. I re-checked my account after end of business later that day. So far everything was in order. Batch 1 S3 etc.

2 weeks about go by and I pop in to check my account to find out when my Batch 1 order will ship to discover it's a magical Batch 2. I have no idea when it was ordered, what point in the queue it was at or anything. At this point I have received 0 contact from distributor. Order was altered 25.5 hours after I placed it. I wish I had known I needed to babysit this order to keep things on track and at a price I could live with.

I notice in my account there is ask us a question. So I ask if they can fix my Batch 1 order to actually be a Batch 1. I really wasn't thinking that someone intentionally changed anything but that there was a clerical error.

24 hours pass still no contact from distributor.

I send a message to the person who has their email on my receipt (I dug it up just to ask again). I was not nice about it. Reply was received in 3 hours. Nothing too helpful just an offer for fair compensation. What is fair for bumping me into a cheaper batch, failing to ask me about changing my order, failing to ask about re-pricing my order? At this point I didn't want a batch 2. I never wanted a batch 2.
 
I asked within 3 hours for the following, after apologizing, What my total refund would be AND what my "Fair Compensation" would be.

Within 12 hours the disputed order shipped.

No answer Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Email was sent late Thursday. As of Monday late my order finally finished its warehousing. Tuesday I send another email asking if distributor would please reply to my last email. Last email included in current email.

Wednesday I get a reply. Here is your tracking #. Batch 1 and 2 shipped about the same time. I have to refund the 7.7% for specs and I have to refund 0.02 for the price difference. Let me know wallet address.

I reply I asked for full refund and fair compensation. Order is complete when package is accepted I have not and in 7 days UPS will return your package to you. I point out I still wouldn't have paid shipping on Batch 2 (ordering from bitmain) and told distributor I figured the 0.1115 over the cost of batch 2 directly was fair compensation at this point. I notified distributor that I was interested in either 0.1115  or a full refund and they have until the package goes back at that point I expect a full refund.

No reply in 48 hours. Send email to admin because I get an order complete email. I point out 1.48 is better then 0. Ask what they would prefer.

48 hours more still no replies.

I really would like a way to deal with this that doesn't leave me with a more then Batch 1 priced shipped same as batch 3 held in China for 4-5 days batch 2 then left at UPS because I have an issue with the questionable way this has been handled. Most of this is the price of business


I will contact you today with a fair solution for your problem.

Apologize for the delay

Regards

Juan

OK so funny story..... He didn't contact me at all.

So is later today before close of business East coast? It doesn't seem so.
Oh I know its got to be West coast close of business. Didn't happen by then either.
How about East coast Midnight? Nope.
West Coast midnight? Nope.
24 hours after the post? Nope.

Maybe he intended to say at the one month anniversary of the change. Whoops missed that too...

I don't know what later today was intended to convey but it said to me that I should have received something long before now.

Maybe next week will go better. It can't go worse then picking up the units 10 hours before my distributor resurfaces magically to offer compensation. its only 18 days after first contact with them. 31 days since the change. Maybe making it over 21 days since I notified them will make things better. I doubt it. Had I not picked them up would he have offered a full refund.... the world may never know. I know I won't.

At this point I am sure I have the most expensive s3 pair. I paid 1.5915. I have no missed hash rate refund as Juan keeps implying I can't have it unless I agree to his fair offer. So anyone else not able to collect a manufacturers refund?

Hi!

Im a new miner from Spain, Barcelona. Best regards for all! Smiley

I have two questions. I hope you can help me because i dont have any idea to find the solution of my problems.

I have one Antminer S3 B3 and one is working with 2 PCI Connectors @250Mhz and hashs at 500gh/s but in one hour and a half the hash decreases to 360-380 gh/s. How is it possible? The status of miner appears to be OK, without any "X" or "-"... Somebody knows whats happening? Sad if i reboot the S3 the hashing push up to 500GH/s but in one hour and half decrease too... Sad
In the status no HW errors and nothing strange. Only i can saw is a Little decrease of temperature... 47-44 grades @500GH/s VS 46-40 @365-380 GH/s.  

I observed that my miner works more stable with 2 PCIEX connectors tan 4. How is it posible??

And the second question is for the second S3 B3.

I tested 250Mhz, 237Mhz, 225 and default 218.75 but always i get a lot of HW errors. How can fix the HW errors?? The only speed that no cause HW errors is 212Mhz.
I think the temperature is not the problema because its working at 43-43 grades.

Two S3 antiminers are working with the last available firmware of Bitmaintech and are new. Arrived this week.

Can you help me? Sad

PD:I hope you can excuse my English

Is this normal???



same on both S3. Both with default frequency: 218.75

why so many discarded??

someone suggested that its possibly backwards, the accepted are actually the discarded, and vice versa. probably fixed in a new firmware upgrade soon



Hello oskuro, did you end up getting a resolution for this problem.
As you can see my discarded shared are a huge problem  Sad  I have upgraded to the latest firmware from bitmaintech but still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS I have 6 Antminer S3's All with the same problem


yeah dont worry about discards Smiley

Discards are a non-issue.

"They have nothing to do with hashrate, share acceptance, efficiency or anything else of any relevance today. They are an internal value which was only of relevance in the getwork era. Trying to optimise this value is futile, and lowering the value achieves nothing. It annoys the crap out of me that it was ever displayed in these standalone devices because people get hung up about it and it is of zero relevance."
