Any word on the refunds? It's been over 10 days!  Angry
Did you recheck your Bitmain acct. I had to reverify the address to receive at.

Did you get your refund yet?

so far tried 5 different pools NONE of them I can connect to. I do factory reset and it just starts mining straight away someone please help
Are you changing anything in the network settings?  Is your Antminer in the IP range covered by your router?
In the pool configuration you don't need to enter 'http://...' only 'stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333' (example if you use Slush). Make sure that you don't enter any extra spaces and that all of your credentials (Pool worker and password) are correct.

Cheers

And make sure you set a DNS too. That was my mistake. I have mine on 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2.



no but what DOESNT make sense is everything works fine once reset. its only when I input my own pool (uk1.ghash.io:3333) etc it dont work. i have tried btcguild ozcoin f2pool and few others. what am i missing?

when you have changed the settings make sure you use the "save and apply" button (for each page you change)

when you are finished with changing settings then do a "system"   "reboot"   "perform reboot"

some of mine need this reboot sequence, some of them work straight away.

okay look at my screenshot above with my pool setting   it is for btcguild  copy it into your miner and see if it mines for me.  if it mines for me and not for your btcguild account I would be shocked.  obvious if it does that you must have wrong info on your btcguild acct.  also if it does that do not keep mining for me.


make sure you have a password set 123 works.. also play around with your dns settings 8.8.8.8 does not work well for me   i use my routers address and it works

I had exactly the same as you.  I`d reset my Ants and they would hash fine.  Where it says "use custom DNS server" try putting a new DNS like 8.8.8.8.  It worked for me. Give it a pop.

ok just to narrow it down:

i am running this off my home PC's power supply. it has 2 6p connectors coming from my silverstone 1200w. my home pc is fairly basic nothing over the top so its got plenty of juice. (is a dedicated psu must?)

AND

on my router the router lights up orange rather than green but i can still log into s3 and change settings. and as i mentioned it will mine once it is reset all on original settings.

i have been on this 10 hours straight now and i feel like throwing the miner at the wall.
also i have somewhat previous experience in mining - like 8 rigs at a time etc. so i know how workers, pools, basically work.

without lots of screen shots can't tell what is wrong.

here are 2 working s-3's  what does this page look like for you?  notice both work even with wrong wireless settings since I am using cat5 hookup


Ipv4 broadcast 192.168.0.255 would be good since the miners are at 0.246 and 0.245                             192.168.1.255  is wrong




here are some pool settings
 notice you must have a password

If i want to use these small fans to lower temperature:

https://www.leroymerlin.es/fp/14453873/ventilador-fe-10c

and because i see its so cheap to have them all day running... where will you place them? i mean, these S3 are inside a box, so i will have maybe to put those fans in the rear part taking hot air out, and maybe in front also to blow more fresh air inside the front vent that blows air into the S3?
