Are people happy with their S3 units on p2pool?

If you're on p2pool, are you using the stock queue option (4096) or did you change it?

This is a problem...on this particular boot its showing a time difference of 24 minutes which causes this result...Im sure I have seen as much as 8-9 hour difference between the uptimes
This miner was rebooted only 3 minutes yet the miner status page claims its been running 27 minutes which is impossible and the "hashrate" shows it...so how often is the cgminer process restarting behind the scenes or what is going on here BITMAIN?

you are correct they should drop price.   but the sp30 double miss on gh and on power makes the s-3  the best item to buy.

I would feel happy if it drops to .66 or .65 , but they may raise it more.


 With diff doing 2  under 10 % jumps maybe 3 under 10%   they could move price to .69 and I think it will sell.

I am looking to buy 2 more I want to see it drop to .64  I will not buy until my 2 come on fri and test well.

Any updates from B5 customers? 

I rebooted and now the X is gone, however, I am getting this sudden drop in average hashrate:

any ideas why ?

EDIT: also, again how do I check what firmware I am already running? thanks

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

The firmware will get rid of the beeping. You can still lower the beeping in the current firmware, there was some mentions some pages back.

That x is a chip not hashing, try to give it a reboot and see if it goes back to normal

how can I find out what firmware is my S3 running?

I am getting the annoying beeps and wonder if I need to upgrade.

btw, this is what I see:



also, I assume the X is no good :



how can I fix this ?

Any idea on this?

I have 8 S3 running.
4 of batch 2, all are underpferforming, but showing "normal" amounts of duplicates in the pool statistics.
4 of batch 4 are performing to specs, but all about 50% duplicates all the time.

All running the same firmware, no overclocking, same pool.
