Im calling lets see what happens.....
they are telling me that i have to describe the articles because they dont understand me. I told them they are electronic devices for mining bitcoins, and the girl didnt understand what it was.... i have to send an email.
ffs
Just tell them it's a specialized computer to do complex math calculations, without a power supply. Hopefully that will be easier for them to understand.
Mmmmm ok i will try with that, thanks.
But then i say its 2 computers?. I hope they dont charge me a lot for saying "2 computers" xD
i think im going to be charged a 21%... sigh
My last order of a Gridseed blade came with "Heatsink Test Sample" as the description ;-)

You really should of described it as computer electronics. The word bitcoin never helps. Also you can call it development hardware or something fancy. You can always tone it down and describe it as a computer board with a aluminum shroud and fans, it consists of chips, mosfets, and capacitors as many computers parts do.
Maybe this is not the best advice to give, but I know for sure it's more difficult explaining what a bitcoin asic is then vaguely claiming it's just some computer hardware.
just out of curiosity, how does the rockminer R3 compare to the antminer S3 ?
cost is similar and its bit faster but does consume bit more power. Is that it ?

it definitely consumes more power, and when it comes to GH vs Watt that's what seems to matter the most.
The biggest thing for rockminer is they shipped the R3 weeks ago so many people have had a head start with mining those units.

well, sent the email, hope they accept it and now i will have to pay tomorrow a 21% of 680 EUR --> ~142 EUR + another small taxes 
Got my 2 S3's today. Thanks UPS and Bitmain.
The 1st one worked fine straight away. The 2nd one had some 'jet lag', only one blade was reported and the hash rate was correspondingly about half. Swapped power supplies, but that was not the issue. Opened the cover, pushed the connectors of cables between the controller and hashing boards in, and now both blades come up. Re-installed the cover, and it's still running both blades.
Average hash rate is about GH/s after almost 2 hours on the 1st one. The 2nd one is has similar performance, but did not have much time to stabilize yet. Both running at default settings (frequency=218.75 MHz).
Had only a few beeps so far, nothing annoying.
Cheers

Technically, if you use the same payout address you could say that the two units form one computer for calculation and reporting purposes. That of course is taking some "artistic license" with phrases and subtle differences in meanings, but is basically true.

Question for you S3 owners.
What is considered the "overclocked" speeds that require 4 PCI-e connectors?
Many power supplies are a pain now a days, I don't know what to do if I plan on running 2 off one PSU because 8PCI-E cables is really not the norm.
On the Supernova 1300 G2 by EVGA it has 6 PCI-E 8pins, and not enough molex to do a molex to pci-e adaptor. Also curious what kind of PSU you all are using for these units.
Any advice will be great, thanks in advance!

the evga has six cables 4 single cables and 2 double cables……
you can use 2 single cables and a double cable filling all 4 jacks.
Been there done that.
As for overclock 225 237 250 = overclock.

Im calling lets see what happens.....
can someone post a pictorial for oc ?
Try this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitmain-antminer-s3-support-and-overclocking-thread-699064
First time BM purchaser! Got my 8 S3s today, 7 run like champs around 441ish, although I have one that has a massive 25% HW errors, hashing at about 60-65% of what it should be doing. Any ideas?
http://s15.postimg.org/rfrh5roc9/S3limp.jpg
http://s15.postimg.org/rfrh5roc9/S3limp.jpg
I'll suggest to flash firmware (without preserving settings) from bitmaintech webpage and see how it goes ...
Thanks for the tips, but still getting 25% HW errors and underperformance.
Following has been attempted:
Different PSU, cables. Flashed the firmware, still nothing. I inspected the unit, cross referencing it to one that works fine, and there were no discrepancies.
Going to contact Bitmain about a replacement, hopefully they'll make it right.
can someone post a pictorial for oc ?
Gee you are very helpful, thank you!
That's why I just wanted to buy with PayPal as it's my first miner and I just want to have bit fun and not too serious about getting into bit coins buying and selling at this stage.
Thanks.
There's always https://coinbase.com/ where you can purchase btc and they'll take it straight out of your fiat bank account, or you can add a credit card and get faster settlements for receiving your purchased btc. Once you have the btc you can then use it to buy direct from https://www.bitmaintech.com/ or other places accepting bitcoin such as newegg.com and many others. Bitcoin by the way is usually abbreviated "btc". Welcome to mining and have fun.
If your S3 is not performing at 440 GHs, may be worth a shot to re-flash it.
Download the firmware here:
https://bitmaintech.com/files/download/antMiner_S320140711.bin

This helped my underperforming miner, but it actually made my better performers start having x's and -'s
The only issue with ordering directly from Bitmain is that they don't take PayPal, only Bec and I don't have any since I am new to this. Plus PayPal is very easy to use.
You are on the wrong forum then.
Gee you are very helpful, thank you!
I was joking about what you said about PayPal. Sorry if I offended you.
You'll have to transfer your fiat to an exchange like btc-e.com or bitstamp.net. They take wire transfers from banks. Problem is that you are dealing in two different financial systems and one of them (the fiat world) doesn't make it easy to convert in the crypto currency world.
Gee you are very helpful, thank you!
