Does anyone know what I should put in the "use custom DNS server" box?

Should I leave it blank?

A friend of mine, ChuckBuck would tell you to put 8.8.8.8 but I don't think it really matters, you can use the usual, 192,168.1.1 if you want.

I like the 8's because it's an alternative backup plan that works.

That said, I got confirmation from UPS today so I should get it by next weekend, which is what I was expecting from day 1 anyways.

Anyone from Canada got their S3 orders already who know what the import cost per unit is?

I know we're not on  laws like UK but is it still considered as a "Computer Game Gateway" like the S1 was?

I don't know anything about VAT laws and such but here in Canada, we only have a 10% sales tax at the border.

Thanks.

Has anyone found the physical speaker/beeper yet in case metal surgery is needed? I haven't opened the cases at all - just put them to work out of the box (nice gear, Bitmain).


The beeper is in the top left of this pic, the round thing:

And it looks like they are at least starting to print labels for B3..So things must be starting to catch up on their end..

Yer that beeping is really really annoying. Is everyone else having the issue?

Im also having this issue.  Beeping set to False but its still randomly does one beep every now and then.  Using a Lan connection, not wifi, incase anyone is wondering.  

It appears to be hashing away perfectly fine.  So I cant work out why it does this random beep.

The manual suggests it beeps when it encounters an error.. but doesnt say what that error is.

I know its not the same beeps as the beeps you get when not connected to a network.

Bumping this topic. I've found no fix for the beeping yet. My wife is on the warpath over it. Without the occasional beeps, the S3 would be significantly quieter than the S1 and much quieter than the S2.

As a side note, the beeping feature must have driven them crazy in their ant farm - looking around the room full of racks - which one just beeped?


Why don't you turn the S3 off, take the lid off and see if you have loads of paste everywhere.  If you do, clean it all off (being careful) and see if that helps?

Probably a daft question but I won't need CG Miner will I?

Cgminer is already on it, behind the scenes.

Thought as much thanks, I have looking into which pool to mine on, it's between p2pool or Btc guild any thoughts?

I had one of the 20 pieces damaged:




If I were you I would login to your Bitmain accounts and send a post-sales message with your images, and ask if they will send you some replacement fans.  Otherwise, buy a replacement fan and ask them to refund you the cost of the replacement.  It's quite easy to replace the fan.  Perhaps, before you send a message to bitmain, take cover off and take off the replacement fan (you need cover off to un-plug the fan from the mainboard), and see if the S3 powers up and runs albeit without the broken fan.  If it does work (hope it does) then you know its just a replacement fan that's required otherwise its a complete S3 replacement.

I had a damaged fan on an S1 - bitmain sent me a replacement fan with my next order - too expensive to ship a fan on it's own.

Hooray. Bitmain is showing my B1 order as shipped now. Ups has not picked it up yet, but the label is printed.

I'm hoping the extra wait was worth it. Like they fixed some of the issues,  we will see.
Same here, first saw it on UPS, then it showed up on Bitmain.  Only label raised, package is still with Bitmain, but it is definitely a step forward.  Looks like there is some overlap between B1 and B2 shipping.

Hi there guys,

I just want to publicly thank everyone that helped me with the setup of my miners.  They are both happily hashing away.

Thanks guys.
Congrats!  Happy hashing!

This is 3 days ago:

This is probably because of the TLC (tender loving care) of the fellows from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJdZgQwRMBk
Consider yourself lucky that only one of your order got damaged, and hopefully its just the fan.  You can ask Bitmain for assistance as suggested already.

I hope that my S3's are not among the victims of that baggage handler...

Cheers
