'The right to privacy matters'
Seems I've got an asic out. Any suggestions?

oooooooo oooxoooo
oooooooo oooooooo

image won't post, but thats what the asic status is on 1 of my s3's



reboot.  if it does not go away switch around your power from the psus.  if that does not work ssh in and down clock it.  give me 2 minutes I will show you one s-3 at stock and one downclocked

I just did it a few minutes ago  so this is more of a last resort.  the numbers are not firmed up yet I will run as the lower freq to see if it is a big power savings or if it quieter.

That happened sometimes with my S1 as well. It is not a big deal unless your hashrate is suffering.

so quick numbers my evga 1300 is pulling about 665 watts at the plug to run 2 of these at standard clocks of 218.75 freq.

the fans are running 1800/1500 on the machine that gives me 447gh temps 37/39

the fans are running 1620/1320 on the machine that give me 440gh temps 39/39

room is 78f  or 25.5 c

pretty quiet. not silent

665watt/887gh = .749 watts a hash.  yet to use a plat psu and clock a little lower

I am running both machines at bitsolo.net they give me best share info. at btcguild.com no best share info.

bitsolo has me at number 7 with more then 600gh .  needs time to show correctly.

height = 167 mm

width = 134 mm

length = 340 mm

fans =  120 mm    the 140 mm quote from bitmaintech is a diagonal measurement of the fan grill's hole placement.

resellers beware do not advertise the fans as 140mm if you sell with a cc or paypal a nasty buyer would have a good chance of getting a refund over the fan size.

all in all right now the best gear available bar none.     

Have you attempted any OC at all, yet? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitmain-antminer-s3-support-and-overclocking-thread-699064


No as this pair is going into my friends office on monday.

 I need quiet.
 I need under low watts.

at freq 218.75  they are not as quiet as the 3 s-1's I had in his office.
at 665 watts     they are 100 watts more then  the 3 s-1's


  so 420 gh at 560 watts and really quiet .  freq 275 and the pencil mod.

 will be:

880 gh at 665 watts and quiet freq 218.75

I think  I may try to run at  freq 212   If I can go to 820gh and 600 watts with fans at 1200 it will be perfect for his office.

No shipping for my Batch 1 order  Angry

2014-06-30 19:51:10.0

I'm getting ancy. I'm damaged due to my ride on the Black Arrow failboat.

There are a lot of us in that club.

They have had enough time to fix a few things, if that's what they chose to do. I hope so.  Not digging the theory that they are just sitting on them mining.

Do you know if it's possible to conect the S3 to a server power supply?If yes then how? (I'm talking about an IBM Bladecenter 39Y7352).It's kinda sad that they removed server support (they should have done it like AntMiner S1's).

Thank you!

This is mine using a Dell 750w psu:

okay fast question How do I get the gui to show my best share?  best share is zero/blank>

Both of mine show '0' Best Share as well ... no idea ... guess they might include it in a firmware update.


Depends where you're hashing.  GHash.io and BTCGuild don't show best share values in the status page.  Eligius and p2pool do.  Looks like bitsolo.net does as well.

my s1's show their bestshare in their GUI's but the s2 doesn't.

all are on gHash. 

Do I care that the bestshare isn't showing up? 

Thoughts?

You aren't supposed to admit that you mine on ghash.  No one will help you then!

I'm getting thousands of HW errors and 10% rejects. A reboot does nothing. How can I solve this problem?
Put up a screenshot of your status page and your config page.

Ant 1: 0.00028637079% HW errors at stock clocks getting 439GH/s on my local p2pool node
Ant 2: 0.00043407425% HW errors at stock clocks getting 441GH/s on my local p2pool node

I'm using teamviwer from my phone so can't take a screenshot at the moment. Rebooted a couple of times and the hardware errors are around the 150 mark after half an hour.
Also that bloody beeping won't stop even after turning it off in the menus

Ordered six the same day as you and still nothing in UPS my choice. If I am lucky, I'll receive them in a week. 7-10 days difference in mining should be worth something. We are getting dangerously close to Monday (07/21) shipping time. Does UPS even ship on a Saturday in China?  

Bitmain initially quoted shipping times of between the 10th and 20th.  When they announced the change in specs, they adjusted that to say they hoped to start shipping batch 1 between the 14th and 17th.  They're still within the original timeline, even though they had to make some adjustments before sending any out the door at all.

I don't think you're going to get any further compensation, unless they don't ship until after the 20th, and then you can ask them for something.

Disclosure: I created my order 2014-06-30 14:01:44 and received them yesterday.  Bitmain didn't update my order status until 2014-07-16, even though the units had actually shipped on 2014-07-15 (China local, so really 2014-07-14 here).

Tried to check on UPS using 'tracking by reference' with the Bitmain order number, but nothing is found.  My B1 order was paid on: 2014-06-30 21:43.

Cheers

relax people.

2014-06-30 14:04:06.0 Shipped
2014-06-30 14:04:24.0 Unshipped

Can you properly imagine how many orders were made in the opening minutes?

I can tell you I had a hell of a time getting to place an order due to website bombardment. My first order managed to make it at 2014-06-30 14:03:16.0 and i can tell you I was trying at the opening bell (which was 14:00 UTC)

Just out of curiosity did you check ups directly by tracking by reference(bitmain order number)? Mine was in ups a good day befor I got the email or it showed shipped on the bitmain site.

Bitmain,

My A3 batch 1 order has not yet shipped while others have received their orders today. Being that I ordered on 6-30 at 19:30:48 and paid the same 1.5 BTC as the others, I feel that some compensation is in order for those of us receiving their miners 5+ days later.

I understand that you are trying your best to ship orders out the door and I am grateful for all you have accomplished, but this S3 rollout is dangerously close to the failed "preorder" model you have been wise to ignore in the past.

Regards,

The initial shipping window was up until the 20th for b1, I wouldn't expect any compensation at all unless they miss that target, but since it's Bitmain you can at least hope!
