The good thing they did can't be forget.
They offered a refund for lower hash rate.
I will go for the coupon option if they are giving the 10% of current order.
Else a refund of 7.74%.

suddenly... this thread full of PEOPLE!!!!
wah wah wah
hope 1st batch cant be overclocked
coz of the 1st build
for the 2nd batch, they knew what's wrong with the components
so 2nd batch is full 478GH/s
and for the 3rd batch, they actually confident that S3 can reach 504GH/s
like the 1st time announced, so they OC it at the max limit...
many burned... 3rd batch failed
now, they're offering 20% coupons...
all who bought at 3rd batch SCREAMING like hell
bitmain got no choice.... but the last option... "HOLIDAY" !!!!!

That means it doesn't. Read it. It is planned for the future, maybe - as PatMan said.
I find myself in the same situation - Bitmain - please verify when/if your hardware will support p2pool so that we can decide on refunds or coupons.
Thanks

Antminer S3 is P2Pool Compatible as per their update in the second post of another thread.
Please quote the source where they state that.
Nowhere do they say the S3 is compatible with p2pool (or the S2 for that matter) - only that it will be compatible. I would rather buy hardware that is compatible - not that might be sometime in the future, maybe.
Peace
Here it says so,
Reserved for Q&A and Updates
1. Will there be upgrade parts for S1 and S2?
Yes, there will be. But we still need to solve some production/testing problem before we finalize the plan and public it.
2. Will S3 be supporting P2pool?
Yes.
Updates:
1. The sales opening announcement and the final specs of S3: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7597300
2. The First Batch of AntMiner S3 runs out of stock. we are ready to start to sell the Second Batch of S3 at 22:00 pm on July 1st (UTM + 8 ), and drop the sales price to 0.74 BTC each with international shipping. The Second Batch is estimated to be delivered about 2-4 days after shipping of the First Batch of S3 for 0.75 BTC each, but still no later than July 20th.
3. The Third Batch of S3 sales price is dropped to 0.725 BTC each with international shipping, which will open sales at 22:00 pm on July 4th (UTM + 8 ). The Third Batch is most likely to be shipped before July 20th, but no more than one or two days delay may happen.

Herein lies the problem with pre-orders. I suggest to Bitmain that they revert back to selling in-stock equipment only so as to avoid this kind of thing happening again.
With regards to the refunding options: If the S3's are p2pool compatible then I don't mind having the 10% coupons as I will definitely be buying some more - but if they are not p2pool compatible I would prefer a refund, as I will not be buying any more. Can you please advise us on the p2pool situation asap so that we can make a decision?

They already said they are p2pool compatible.
See above.
Yeah I saw they changed their tune a bit. They were more positive last time I heard them speak about it.

Looks like they changed their tone to say "will be", one day isn't good enough for many. We heard it too many times.

They should have tested it some more pieces than a single unit at-least before mass producing it if they have that much variance.
I still don't understand what they meant and why its, 'unstable DC-DC in "some" devices and not in others.'

All Power supply recommendations are not much valid now.
The maximum overclock speed is now caped at 478Ghs for some and for other 441Ghs.
The new power consumption for S3 is 340W at wall and at 366W if lucky and that's still uncertain.
So, even three overclocked S3s can be easily run in a 1200W power supply.
Need to do some hack in stabilising DC-DC, adding a heatsink or replacing with a new DC-DC.

I would be interested how the DCDC is "unstable".
What I am getting from this is that they bought DCDCs hoping to use them 20% over their actual rating.
When it turns out that they are unstable above 110% of the rated amps, they just tell us DCDCs are unstable when in fact this could have been avoided by proper planning.

I would like also to know, from BITMAIN, OC parameters because i dont want to burn out my 2 S3. Can you please tell us secure parameters for overclocking S3 without any risk?
The worst thing happened. Here are my concerns:
So, no more overclocking like earlier said 504Ghs/390Watts not even 478 possible for all. No more overclocking fun.
The questions to bitmain,
1) By saying DC-DC controller unstable means, if one overclock to 478Ghs and if its unstable,
will this dc-dc controller burn out? What will be the after effect if an unstable miner is overclocked?
2) 10% of the current order as coupon or 10% of the future order?

In the morning DHL delivered me three Antminer S3-s, I was in the batch 1 ordered the very first moment.
I ordered for two but in the packet there where three S3s.Maybe a bonus from BitMainTech or an accident?
Anyhow, there were no customs duty for me. I don't know why. DHL simply dropped in my place.
As they advertised, there should have a cover for the miner for air flow control, But in my three S3-s the cover was missing.
Also, one of them was little dirty and the fans came with dirt. The other two were brand new. The dirty one may be the S3 they used first for testing.
After all, the dimension of S3 is smaller than S1 and the body is build with plastic instead of metal. It weighs less than 500gms.
Its working hard on my desk, silently, there is no vibration due to the additional 4 rubber standoffs attached in the base
otherwise, due to low weight the noise of S3 vibrating on my desk may not be bearable.
Its hashing fine at 478/366. Overall a very good deal.
Todays was a pleasant morning, I was happy when I woke up, I got a good deal from BitMain, all credits to them.
Suddenly, I realised that, my pre-orders are still waiting for BitMainTech to ship. The hard think I realised, all the above was a dream.
So, much fun!

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.
Is this likely to be resolved in future batches with upgraded DC/DC modules to attain the full 478GH/s ?What do you recommend the best way to go about safely and stably trying to attain a speed closer to 478GH/s with these initial batches ?
Looking forward to seeing them ship !
