Kinex - The New Frontier
I placed an order for 2X Batch 4 S3s and paid in full... and my order does not show as receiving payment though the tx has confirmed many times and I have checked the address I sent it to and it is the same as in the email.

I have emailed and messaged them about this and no response.

PLEASE RESPOND I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MY ORDER!
This often happens, it gets sorted out eventually.

I hope so... I could have ordered from Zoomhash but it is $570 a pop + shipping so... I am hoping I didn't just lose 1.3 BTC ordering direct.

When I ordered my Batch 1 S3's, it took a little while for the whole transaction to process.  It'll all hash out in the end ...  Cheesy

With the frenzy on these boards today to buy from these guys, what makes you think you just lost your coin? I would chill until things get sorted out. Because if you can't afford to lose that money, you might not have needed to make that purchase in the first place.

Is this normal???



same on both S3. Both with default frequency: 218.75

why so many discarded??

strangely enough, yes, but SOMETIMES rebooting from the webgui (not by power cycle) helps somewhat. Also it seems that discarded shares ## are higher on ghash and btcguild than on eligius (personal observation on the same miner by rotating pools).

'The right to privacy matters'
All we need now is the S1 upgrade kits to be announced

Then I will become a happy multi-terahash miner.

How does it work?  Would it just be replacing the S1 blades with S3s on the existing S1 frames (without the shroud)?  Would a fan be included in the upgrade kit since the S1 only came with one 12038 fan?
  that would be nice if that controller would run an s-3 blade  the beeping issue would go by by

In the same boat. Hoping for the same outcome

This happens every time BM launches a new product, and always has.  It will sort out for everyone who paid, as it does every time.  If it's not automatically fixed in 24 hours, shoot BM an email with your order number and the TXID of your payment and they will manually fix it, although I've only seen someone need to do this once in thousands of orders.

Cool. thanks!

Hi,

Is anyone able to help me out?  I purchased 2 of the S3's and bought the Enermax Triatholor ECO 550W 80 Plus Bronze PSU (one for each S3).  It says the DC output is +12V 42A 504W.  I hooked one PCI-e connector to one side of the machine and hooked up another PCI-e to the opposite side using only two of the four connections.  The machine never reaches over 330 - 340 GH/s.  Do I need to overclock this machine to reach the 478 GH/s, or do I need to buy a bigger PSU, or both?  If I need a bigger PSU which is recommended?


please post your miner status page
Here are my miner stats

Something is off with chain 2.  I've never seen that with the -o and it should be 16 not 32.  What happens if you swap the PCI-e connector?  If they chains swap info I'd say you have a PSU problem.  If they stay the same I would think it's the miner.

The chains stayed the same.  I plugged in my second miner and it actually works the way it is supposed to.  I switched the PCI-e's to the other two and everything stayed the same with the ASIC.  Hooked up the 2nd PSU to the broken miner and still the same problem.

Open it up (5 screws on each side, total piece of cake) and reseat the connector ribbons from the blades to the control board.  If you still have the issue you may have one of the blades that is swimming in thermal paste in which case you will need to take off the heatsink (4 screws, not too hard to do but you have to also disconnect the fan because the heatsink has to slide up after you pull it away from the board) and clean up the chips. Or it could just be a bad blade and you will need to talk to Bitmain about a replacement.

I have four 0.075BTC coupons and two 0.074 coupons.
Anybody wants all four (I think that I can only donate all at once)?
minimal fair price is 0.23 for all four (your savings would be 0.3-0.23=0.07 BTC)
If you want two (apparently, it is possible), then the cost is 0.1155 BTC
pm me, but i won't accept anything less than 0.23 for all four or 0.1155BTC for two
two 0.074 I will get rid of ONLY if price is even higher

I requested 10% coupons on my order of 6, and they still haven't processed even though my miners are shipping right now.  I wanted to buy another from batch 4, but with coupons.

Also, I have some EVGA 1300watt gold PSUs I'm going to use to power 3 on each. 1050 watts (which someone else said is what they get from the wall) is about 80% of 1300.  So I should be good hopefully.  Grin

I'm still a bit sad that my order was going to be delivered next week, but I had to move it since I'm going to be out of town...  Valuable mining time lost Sad

My 10% coupons were processed earlier today. keep watching the site.
