So I need some help here peoples. I do fly in fly out work with a 3 week on roster. So im going to be away from home when the miners arrive. My girl is home but is absolutely computer illiterate. I have setup the power supply ready for when they arrive with labelling for which cables go where so she can just plug them in. But as far as setting it up goes would i be able to setup the miners remotely with teamviewer with another computer set up at home? Reading about the S1 seems the internet has to be disconnected and then connect the compter directly to the miner. Is this true with the s3 do you think?
Does anyone have any ideas how I could set up the miners remotely?
Thanks Smiley
To answer your question would require a bit of knowledge about your home's network.  Are you running a 192.168.1.* system, or are you using something else?  I am guessing (and this is going on Bitmain's usage of that network in the S1 and S2) that the S3 will follow the same pattern and use that type of address.

Assuming that Bitmain continues to use the 192.168.1.* addresses, and your home network is on that same network, then using Teamviewer to setup the miners remotely shouldn't be a big deal at all.

My home network uses 192.168.2.*
Is that configurable? Could I just change the router to assign the DHCP setting to 192.168.1.*?
Absolutely.  Changing your network is usually pretty easy to do in your router's config.

Thanks for the help. Network has been changed to 192.168.1.*
Had to re-cycle all the devices on the network to get them going but were all sweet now  Grin

Coupon.. refund.. shipping..

Hum why do I have 4 S3 coupons and and 4 S2 coupons..?  Something about being a B1 customer for the S3..?  

The S3 will still be shipping out at somepoint I assume...?  This 7.5% refund isn't going to cancel my order if I take it will it...?!

if your not going to use a S2 coupon send one my way…

bitmain account dlowings…

Hello everyone,

When we were doing the first mass production, we found that not all of the S3’s DC/DC module could be stable enough to support the 478GH/s speed. After long time testing, all of the S3 run stably at 441GH/s, which however is 7.7% less than the 478GH/s we have announced.

So we decide the final specification of ANTMINER S3 here:

Hash Rate: 441 GH/s or more
Power Consumption: about 340 Watt at the wall when running at 441GH/s
Power Efficiency: 0.77 J/GH on wall
Power Supply: 12V DC
Size:  331 mm x 137 mm x 160 mm
Fans: Two 14038 fans mounted on both front and back ends.
Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 35 °C
Complied with: FCC / CE
Network Connection: Ethernet

Many of the customers may be lucky to find that their S3 can be overclocked to 478GH/s.

We apologize for this incident. We offer two options for customers:

1)   10.0% worth of coupon for the B1~B3 customers. This is the default option. (10% based on what you have paid for the B1~B3)
2)   7.7% worth of refund. We will release a function on our official website for application of this option. If you have bought from our resellers, please contact them and provide your Bitcoin address.

Shipping schedule updated:

Batch 1: The shipping will be finished in 14th and 17th.
Batch 2: It will be shipping out between 18th and 19th.
Batch 3: It will be shipping out between 19th and 22nd.

Ahh okay, sweet. 

I am gonna take la "refund"

So I need some help here peoples. I do fly in fly out work with a 3 week on roster. So im going to be away from home when the miners arrive. My girl is home but is absolutely computer illiterate. I have setup the power supply ready for when they arrive with labelling for which cables go where so she can just plug them in. But as far as setting it up goes would i be able to setup the miners remotely with teamviewer with another computer set up at home? Reading about the S1 seems the internet has to be disconnected and then connect the compter directly to the miner. Is this true with the s3 do you think?
Does anyone have any ideas how I could set up the miners remotely?

If you put two NIC's in your PC you can preconfigure one to talk to the miner (with crossover cable) and leave the other one to connect to your network.  Then all she has to do initially is power the miner and plug it into the crossover cable.  You can then remote in and configure it.  If you set the IP as the last bit of configuration, she can then just change the ethernet cable to put it on your main network.

first dates were 10 -20  new dates are 14-17 for batch 1.  So it is about 8 pm july 15th in china they are not late.  they have 49 hours for batch 1 then they would be late. since the update says shipping will be done by july 17 for batch 1.

well at least my dragon miner gets a lower hash rate for a little longer.

First they said shipping will be in between 10 and 20.
Then said 10 and 14.
Now postponed to 14 and 17.

'The right to privacy matters'
I emailed Bitmaintech regarding the coupon/refund offer and here's what they replied:

1. How long do we have to decide whether we want the coupon or the refund?
    A. before July 22. if no action before that, we'll offer the coupon as default

2. When do the coupons expire?
    A. coupon with a month validity

3. When coupons are used to purchase is it one coupon for one S3.
    A. one coupon for one S3

4. Is the 10% discount based on the original purchase price or the price of S3 being purchased.
    A. based on the original price what you have paid for it

I was a little surprised by the last answer but also pretty happy.
What I don't understand is why everyone is always complaining that Bitmaintech never responds to them.
This is the 3rd email that I sent them and received a reply every time.
And no, I never asked about shipping dates. I didn't want to take the chance of not getting a reply

Ok everyone have fun.

Watch out for the "Neg-Rep-Dogie-Police".....
Hello Bitmain,

I'm writing to you with a couple of questions regarding the coupon/refund options & the p2pool issues with your S2 & S3 models, as I & many other p2pool users are unable to make a decision on weather to get a refund or to accept coupons until we know weather you will be providing a p2pool fix for these models - and there has been no news from you regarding the fix since your statement on 30th June where you state: "We think we might be able to solve it in another week or two." - which is now over two weeks ago.

The problem is this: If a fix for p2pool is definitely going to be implemented in the near future then I/we are more than happy to accept coupons for the purchase of more S3 (and S2) units, as we will be able to use them on p2pool - whereas if a fix is not going to be made available in the near future I/we would rather receive a refund for our purchase so that we can reluctantly purchase mining hardware from a vendor elsewhere that does support p2pool.

As you have stated that a decision must be made by customers regarding the coupon/refund issue by 22nd July, this only leaves us 6 days from today to make that decision, but as I/we have no idea weather the fix will be made available, if at all, it is impossible to make an informed decision. Many p2pool users purchased your S2 & S3 units on the promise made by Bitmain that they will support p2pool, but so far this has not been the case, with no indication from yourselves that the situation will change any time soon - which is a little disappointing.

I realise that you are busy right now, but a quick reply would be greatly appreciated by me & your loyal customers to either confirm or deny that a fix will be made available in the near future, so as to enable us to decide on what our options are regarding the coupon/refund choice & the future purchase of any Bitmain products.

Kind regards,  PatMan  Smiley
