Got my refund. Thank you Bitmain. My ant's are hashing away.
how long is an estimated life span of an antminer s3?
how can anybody know this? it's a brand new product without almost any testing prior to shipment. they tested it for a a week....max
The hardware should last longer than the hashrate will make it worth using. In other words, it should become unprofitable to use long before it breaks.
oh, okay then
I'm pretty new to mining, I don't really know much
I'm thinking about purchasing 2 antminers s3
the price per kwh here is 0.175$ or 0.14$, the website of the provider isn't really clear, I should call them to ask about the correct price [all day]
I have no idea where to buy PSU and how much would it cost, please do some recommendations and estimations
who knows what are the prices are in US of Wow
, but in US of Ahttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=cx500m&N=-1&isNodeId=1
cheapest, can run one , but not overclocked
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139051&cm_re=cx750m-_-17-139-051-_-Product
this one can run one normal speed or overclocked, perhaps even two underclocked (at 212.5mhz)

this one can run two overclocked or 3 (for sure)-4 (pushing it) at normal speed-it has 8 connectors (not 6!) on six cables.
since Amazon ships only to USA, that's not an option
I'm actually from USW [Croatia
]the last one is the best option
costs 180$ on amazon, however on eBay it costs 250$ with shipping +50$ of import charges
that's really high
even the cheapest one, damn

anything for Europeans at reasonable prices?

http://www.rakuten.de/produkt/evga-supernova-1300-g2-1300watt-1160468376.html
should be close to Croatia, hence less for transport

Got my late batch #2 today in Toronto.
FYI listed on customs as "server" declared value was each 440$ so it was HST due of 57.23 plus UPS 10$ fee

Our Late Batch 2s should be arriving today as well. Nothing but labels for B3 so far.
My B3 that were ordered on 7/11 arrived today. No less than 5 holds for customs review.
Needless to say, I am excited!!

My refund received. Thank you Bitmain. I am satisfied with shipment and performance of my S3, both are running at 460GH/s. Looking for more orders soon.
Well i got my b2 order in, now i have to wait 3 hours until i get home to start playing with them 
to people in canada wondering how much VAT ( custom + Tax ) fees.
with a declared value of 947USD
in Quebec for 2 miners i just paid 159$ CAD
heads up, get your credit card ready.
Have Fun Everyone and Happy Mining.

I have been waiting weeks for this info. Thanks!!!
So it costs $100 more that what two S1's use to cost for UPS customs/taxes and clearance at the door ($59) with CC in hand for UPS guy.
not as bad as I feared.
so ive got 4 units
2 hash at 437 and 441
2 hash at 418 and 415
emailed bitmain and they asked me for screenshots of the status page
2 hash at 437 and 441
2 hash at 418 and 415
emailed bitmain and they asked me for screenshots of the status page
I wonder, what they are going to do with this information?
I'm surprised you got a response. I sent a message through their internal messaging system on the 26th and have not heard anything.
Two units that won't hash stable over 415.
Even offered to NAT two public ip addresses to the units so they could fiddle with them.
so far my S3 units resisted any fiddling. One can be accelerated to 237.5, but then one chip drops out (X). I am going to check the unit today and see if, perhaps, there is no or too little thermal paste there. If not, i will just leave it alone at 218.75/441Gh.
I just noticed my third unit hashing at 418 has an X, when i reboot it switches to " - " asic status.. resulting in my needed to do a hard power cycle from the PSU
in my experience, a hard boot from PSU on S3 sometimes leaves them in a strange lock (pools are all mixed up, etc, etc) and it takes a software boot or two to even them out.
However, if you ssh into it, you can issue the following:
Code:
poweroff -d 3
exit to get out of ssh
and it will shutoff in 3sec (you can replace 3 with another number), with fans slowly decelerating over 20-30 sec
psu OFF-ON boot after that is benign and does now screw up anything

this looks to be bitmain's refund address

At this point it starts to really branch out a lot. but it looks like a lot more then 100 btc was refunded.
the rough guess is 3000 to 3500 x 3 = 9000 to 10500 units sold in b1-b3 . so that more then 100 btc in refunds was to be expected.
as much as 600 btc but many of us chose the coupons.

well I had sent them screenshots before, but via my iphone on the web GUI and the screenshot cuts off on the right where it says 'Discarded', so everything after that was cut off and they replied saying their engineer is asking for full screenshot as the side was cut off
so obviously their engineer wants to see something in one of the spots for either: Stale, Diff, Diff1#, DiffA#, DiffR#, DiffS#, LSDiff, LSTime
I received my refund as well.
