FWIW, Flashed 6 S3's with the new firmware. No problems. No more beeping. No performance improvements to speak of.

Those of us who opted for a 7.7% refund on our B1-B3 S3 purchases, why have we not received the refund in our BTC wallets yet? When we buy Antminers Bitcointech expect payment to reach them within an hour.
Bought two more S3's from Batch 5 this morning but soon after got a message from Bitmain saying:
"You have bought B1~B3 of S3. We will issue you a 10% value coupon. However, you have the option to give up the coupon and apply a 7.7% refund..."
But I bought from Batch 5 - any ideas on this one..??
"You have bought B1~B3 of S3. We will issue you a 10% value coupon. However, you have the option to give up the coupon and apply a 7.7% refund..."
But I bought from Batch 5 - any ideas on this one..??
1) yeah take the coupon and use it to buy more from batch 5.
2) maybe batch 5 is going to issue coupons.
3) did you only order from batch 5 no 1 ,2, 3 or 4?
lastly has anyone only ordered from batch 5? if so did they get a coupon sent.
I have only ordered from batch 5, and have received the same message after my payment was confirmed. I assume it is just a default message that they have up and pops up to anyone who orders, probably not getting that coupon, but I would assume they will start giving out coupons like they did for S1's eventually.
I bought from B4 and then B5 today, didn't receive any messages from the B4 order... I think you could be right, that it's a wrong or default message that's come up for some reason, as I don't have any coupons either..! :0)
I had a lot of difficulty getting my S3's to join my pool however it seems that enabling DHCP from static ip or vice versa acts like a kick start…
Weird thing is I can't connect to my ELIGIUS pool but bitminter works fine:
Also check out the DNS server address

cgminer 3.12.0-1
Is it possible to update Cgminer outside of the Bitmain firmware updates?
Is it possible to update Cgminer outside of the Bitmain firmware updates?
yes there's a couple ways you could do it:
1. download someone else's compiled upgraded version. (Haven't seen one for the S3 yet)
2. install the build env on the S3, and compile your own. very slow CPU in S3, will take a long while. (400mhz Atheros AR9330)
3. install a build-env on a machine with lots more CPU (linux box) and cross-compile. Will likely need custom source for Bitmain custom USB driver as well.
Since I have quite a few of the S3's, I'd like to do #3, but I haven't found a build env for it yet.

Any particular gain if cgminer is updated?

Which one of these PSU(800 to 850 W) will you buy? As im not going to OC because im fine with default GH/s and temperature and Power consume, with 800 or 850 W better, i can power up 2 S3.
So here are the possible ones:
http://www.pccomponentes.com/fuentes_alimentacion/800w/850w/
Just has to be less than 100 Eur. i know there are very good PSU and they cost more than 100 Eur but i dont want to spend that much if they just work fine.
thanks!

From the Antminer S3 Batch 4 you have an option to select your favourite shipping company.
You can choose from the list of DHL, UPS, EMS.
Selecting via EMS will make more delay and trouble in clearing customs.
DHL is fast and they charge more brokerage than UPS.
Why selecting EMS will make more delay and trouble in clearing customs??.
Im from Madrid, spain, and when i ordered using UPS i had to pay customs. When i ordered in the past, 5 times to "taobao", a website for buying clothes and so on, all 5 packages from china, with an estimate weight of 7-8Kgs / package, each of those 5 times, i used EMS, takes longer to arrive, but i NEVER had to pay customs.
So i dont know why you say EMS is a bad option. In worst case scenario, you will also pay what you would pay with UPS or DHL, because i suppose with DHL you pay customs too, but my experience ordering with EMS, packages of 7-8 kgs full of clothes, shoes, etc is that they never stopped them and i never had to pay customs.
Lets see what happens. I ordered another 2 S3 from batch 4, using EMS
Your side EMS may be good. At my side customs duty needs to be paid for EMS too.
They will call you personally for customs clearance office.
Then will sent the packet to your address from there.
Extra burden, more time consuming. Depends on the country we belong to.
I feels very comfortable with UPS than EMS. DHL I like the most even though its a bit more costly.
Oh ok. Well, i will tell you what happens once they start delivering batch 4
Thanks for the replies, i`ll give the google method a try!
I`ve just flashed the Ants with the latest firmware and so far, both units are doing 443 gh\s (2 hours in).
Even the one which would only do 420-430gh\s before. So, it can`t just be the beeping that they changed?

What version of CGMiner is it now running?
cgminer 3.12.0-1
Is it possible to update Cgminer outside of the Bitmain firmware updates?
I thought I remembered this coming up with the S1's and the answer was yes. I do find it odd that my S1's are runnig cgminer 3.8.5-1 and the 3's are still on 3.12.0-1. I have updated the firmware on two units but I can't even find anywhere on the software page that any versions are different.
I do have one unit clocked at 237.5 that seems to like it...
1 hour average 475Ghs WU 6639 but my Accepted and Discarded seem off, as others have reported. I am also not registering any best share on any of my six S3's but I know they are working because my earnings are in line with the estimates for how much I am throwing.
Still waiting for Bitmain to process my refund as well.
There is about 5hrs. until the next difficulty jump. I like how the estimate has been steadily coming down for the last two days. We could see another jump in the 6-7% range which would be awesome.
Happy hashing all.
Flashed both of my units, the beeps were annoying. No change in GH/s.

The same version as before 3.12.0-1.
After flashing my 5 S3's I had 1 unit that was doing 420 GH/s and now is doing 442 GH/s. Another unit was doing 440 GH/s and now it is doing 427 GH/s. Not sure what changed but that is kinda weird. All the units have been running for 3 hours since I flashed them.
I think these variations seeing after firmware update are coincidence.

Hey,
Does anyone know if its possible to monitor your ants from another location?
I'm going on holiday soon and I wanna be able to monitor them.
I know about team viewer, and that is one option, but that means leaving my PC on the whole time.
Thanks

The only way to access them that I know of is Team Viewer or Logmein or similar. Yes - it does require leaving your PC on.
You can bookmark them in google, then you can log in remotely from another google/android device.
Also If you are using slush, then you can bookmark the slush page as well, then view your workers.
