Reserved for updates and FAQ
1. Will S3 support p2pool?
The simple answer is we will. Bitmain has a very sincere interesting with p2pool, and we have invest human resource into this area. Sadly our firmware may not be able to give you a firm yes that we support p2pool right now, but we promise we will contribute much more to the p2pool mining idea than most of those who support p2pool mining well already.
For the short term, our core developer has already been looking into the p2pool problem. We think we might be able to solve it in another week or two.

For P2pool lovers, the 2nd floor of this thread has been updated. Wish the answer make you satisfied, or at least enough for you make a decision. We will make a great contribution to the p2pool chain very soon.
Thank you Bitmain - this is very good & promising news indeed!!

speculation on BTC price increase!
How can you defend the price of BTC 0.75 ?
I used https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator and it was impossible to reach ROI.

Bitmain - there are many people who have bought your hardware only to find that they are unable to use it effectively/efficiently with p2pool. The S1's needed a fix by Kano (cgminer dev & demi-god) to operate optimally, the S2's were also incompatible - although I believe Kano is again working on trying to fix this. It is my understanding that you were also sent all the relevant information needed to provide a fix for the S2 by forum user "PatMan" to make it compatible with p2pool a while ago - but as yet there has been no news.
Now that you have released the S3, p2pool users are wary of buying them due to the previous problems with using them on p2pool. Unfortunately, the p2pool dev (forrestv) has been inactive for the last 10+ months with p2pool, leaving p2pool users with a very limited choice of available hardware that can be used with the software. It would be greatly appreciated by both p2pool users and the Bitcoin network in general if you could not only ensure that your hardware is p2pool compatible, but also advise them if your hardware was usable with p2pool before they buy it - thus saving disappointment and frustration at not being able to use your hardware with the only truly decentralised mining pool software available. In these days of greedy pools like ghash/cex threatening the Bitcoin network, it is more important now than it ever was that miners have the choice to mine where they want, thus distributing/decentralising the network hash rate.
With this in mind, can you please advise potential buyers if the S3's are indeed tested & compatible with p2pool, and if not, do they or the S2's have an upcoming "fix" to enable them to be used with p2pool in the near future? Every user of p2pool is eagerly awaiting news on this issue - please help put their minds at ease & at the same time, help with the decentralisation of the Bitcoin network.
Kind regards.

I would also like info about p2pool compatibility.
I would definitely like an answer regarding p2pool support before I pick up any.
