This is pathetic! I can't believe Bitmain would release a product with no solid instructions or mining software to support it.

Got my pair of U3's yesterday. They are driving me nuts.
Closest I have come to getting one to run is using the old bitmain  / antminer build of cgminer
but it stops with error "unrecognized command --bmsc-voltage"

if I remove the voltage setting cgminer runs but all I get is incorrect device message.
Tried latest cgminer build with every option I could think of on / off with voltage setting, without voltage setting etc. etc etc.
If anyone actually gets a U3 working please post version of software and options.
Thanks.

Try a different 12v 6amp power brick.



I tired a couple and no change.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this anymore...

I got CGMiner compiling on OSX and per the suggestions above for settings ran it with:

Code:
./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:1 --bmsc-voltage 0720 --bmsc-freq 0782

And this is the output:
Code:

After a second or two this then pops up:

Code:

Any one have any thoughts?

User and pool names have been changed.

Try these:
Code:
cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:1 -o miningpool:port -u user -p password --bmsc-voltage 0750 --bmsc-freq 0882

i have had best luck with this command about 45GH/s but not even close to 63GH/s as advertised "hassle free setup" not really
cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:1 -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u user -p password --bmsc-voltage 0750 --bmsc-freq 0882

can anyone let me know how to mine with multiple u3 in the same cgminer

Best results I have had, with Bitmain provided Cgminer 4.6.1 is about 10 GHs using --bmsc-options 115200:10. Any freq setting I have tried has not improved speed, and doesn't help that I don't know the default speed that chips should be running at. I am not sure if we are doing something wrong, or these are not ready to be mined with yet. That said, I have them in hand, instock ready to sell if your willing to buy now, run later.

Got mine today. Plugged it into my machine which is currently running 2 Ant U2's with CGminer 4.4.2. I used Zadig to install the WinUSB driver for the device.
Do I need to update CGMiner or change my command line to get this to work?

UPDATE: Tried CGMiner 4.7.1 and no improvement.

Icarus detect (1:11) fialed to initialise (incorrect device?)

Is no one using else using their U3 yet?

I got mine yesterday, tried to build the CGMiner that Bitmain provides (https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer), but kept getting compilation errors on my Mac. Got it to compile on a Ubuntu 14.04 box but it couldn't find the device. I also tried various BFGMiner versions on my Mac and my Ubuntu boxes and the Mac couldn't find the device. The Ubuntu box found 2 of the 4 chips and is currently hashing at ~4gh/s.

I'm kinda at a loss.
Wow, didn't realize I'd have to compile CGMiner to be able to use this product. I don't have any clue how to do that. Wish I had known that when I bought it.

If you run Windows you should be able to use the Bitmain version here: https://bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=007201404130633105772QFG6R2u0635

If you are on Linux or OSX you might be able to use BFGMiner but my hash rate is way lower than advertised when using BFGMiner, so I think there might need to be a adjustment made.

Is there any tutorial on how do i get these things mining. I am getting LIBUSB_ERROR_PIPE when i use the bitmain cgminer and the frequency 0D83. Can someone post a cgminer command line for U3 Miner. Thanks

So... first note, there is NO PCI-E 6 Pin on these units.

Any chance you can give us a look inside - cover off, then fan removed ?
Thanks

Sure, Ill pop one open tomorrow.
