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.

Thanks for the update and I have received lots of reply from Bitmain as another witness.

I have ordered 8xS2's last month and one of them had a not working PSU.

I wrote to them and they ask for some tests and a video showing me doing the tests and after they convinced that the PSU really not working they sent me a new one.

So I think I can trust them agian for S3's.

Thanks, I only post when I have something to add to the conversation.
You can tell by my really low activity count.

They could have run for the hills with our BTC , and mined with the new and old hardware --
but no - they are a good company - and customer relations seems better than a lot of others out there

So... it was said that S3 will only need 2 PCIe connectors to operate, or 4 PCIe if it is overclocked.

We have now learned that overclocking by only 37GH/s makes it unstable to the point that Bitmain won't even do it or it could burn out. Does that mean at there really is no good reason to upgrade all PSUs to ones with 4 PCIe to replace S1 with S3?? Undecided

-OCS

As per the new situation one PCI-E cable is enough per blade.
Even if its overclocked one PCI-E cable can easily handle it.
Don't forget to check your PCI-E cable rating in you manual or cable itself.
Most corsair PCI-E cables are rated at 600W. Also keep a hand on your cables to check whether it heats up to the point where you can't hold on.

Hold on there - this is just blatantly wrong: there's no way in hell corsair PCI-E cables should be run anywhere near 600W. Please state your source.

If you're just pulling that figure out of your a55 I'd encourage you to be quiet on topics in which involve high current levels, cheap plastic connectors, and expensive miners/homes before this misinformation costs someone money (or worse).

By the way, images below are of a corsair PCIe cable that was handling ~350W and managed to take out my miner's interface PCB (and in so doing so damage the miner) as well as resulted in a shorted-out corsair AX1200i:

Imgur is flaking out, here's a link to the album: http://imgur.com/a/UUpEG

There is no misinformation in my post.
I have the Corsair 1200W PSU and the PCI-E cables are rated 600W.
But that doesn't mean, you can load up to 600W. Also, I said to check manually for heat even if its rated so.
Moreover No S3 blade will draw more than 200W through one cable.
Inshort, as answered above by me, one pci cable per slot is enough to power up the S3.
Can you prove it wrong! ?

lulz... I have 10 "Corsair 1200W PSU" in use right now, and looking at the in-box documentation there is ZERO REFERENCE TO 600W CAPABILITY. So again, I'm asking you to back up that figure.

Don't dodge either, I never said anything about one, two or 15 cables required for the S3 (for the record I'd use more than two)

Can we not get a new part sent out later and fit it ourselves ?

If your competent with a solder iron and playing with pcb's/components that is !!

If DC-DC limit is the only then we can buy a new DC-DC converter from local market.
Fixing it in place of the current DC-DC converter will not become a problem for most.
I assume most of the miners can DIY that.
For all that, we need some more information or clarification regarding this limitation or instability.

has anyone checked the status of his orders do you see any tracking numbers its 15/7/2014 already

No number yet.

If they ship some today, the tracking info would be sent very late Chinese time, so you can calculate when people would be reporting it.

I did it because he still had batch3 S3's left in stock when Bitmain was sold out. Looks like that was a mistake. Sad

So "waldohoover" (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/waldohoover-101143) of coiningsolutions.com is refusing to give out the 7.7% refund on my order of 4 S3's, but lucky me I can have coupons, as long as I buy more from coiningsolutions.com of course. Roll Eyes

Here's what I got back in PM when I asked for a refund as per Bitmain's instructions....a warning to anyone thinking of purchasing through coiningsolotions.com! Angry

Hi WH,

Just checking you got my PM? Let me know if you need me to do anything else to process the 7.7% refund.

Thanks!

Kebabman

Hi Kebabman,

We have decided our batch order is going to be in the form of Coupons and not a refund. You are entitled to redeem your coupon if you decide to purchase future miners through us.

Thank you,
WH

Hi WH,

But bitmain said we could choose a coupon or a refund? Undecided

Thanks,

Kebabman

Hey Kebabman,

Correct, but I am not Bitmain. I'm working as an independent reseller and since I cannot choose per order and only on batch orders, coupons make more sense on paper. Sorry for the inconvenience, to avoid any mixups in the future you can always order directly through Bitmain.

WH

Kebab...I don't understand why do you need to buy from another "middleman"...not directly from BitMain... Huh

The choice is yours... Grin

Sure, or, he's specifying he wants a refund in BTC from Bitmain, pocketing the BTC, and handing out 10% coupons only valid for coiningsolutions.com which basically cost him nothing and force people to be repeat customers.
