Topic: Bitmain E3 Ethash Miner ASIC (Shipping:16-31 July. $800 USD) - page 2. (Read 16407 times)

lol socialist corporate Maggits at thet lol, Im with you brother let it all burn

how you sent the board for repair? 1 hashboard has 6 asics boards on it (3 chains number ie 1,2,3 or 8,9,10 or 11,12,13). Mine is chain 11 is missing. One chain has 2 asics boards, so did you send whole 1 hashboard (6 asic boards)?

So we just use the Antminer-E3-20180806.tar.gz (without "WEB" in the name) file to upgrade via web?

Bitmain has painted themselves into a corner. Not that it matters. They've flooded the market in a price downturn and now they can't achieve enough efficiency enhancement to up price the new tech coming. Even if they could hold watts the same and triple hashing power, they can't realistically justify a $1,500.00 S9. Things are extremely grim. I take solace in knowing that a bunch of greedy corporate maggots that went "all in" on mining are about to get their throats ripped out. No matter what their KWH rate is. I will piss on their graves.

I'm starting to get HW errors across all the miners, I don't think they will servive to ROI, if that ever going to happen 

I see a lot of people having issues with their E3
I had several with the one I borrowed to review, I go over the troubleshooting I did to fix it in this video.

On mobile otherwise I’d type more about it!

So nobody managed to flash the SD card so far? Seriously?

About the worst miner, you are wrong, it's the B3 that is the worst Bitmain miner, but maybe the E3 is on 2nd place, lol.

It just does not work. Even Bitmain said, it does not work. The E3 was the worst miner so far.

3 chains gone here as well.

Followed all instructions provided by the Bitmain Support page to upgrade to latest firmware with SD flashing, but i wasn't able to flash the E3 somehow even i made it step by step as suggested.

Can someone that managed the flashing through SD card make a guide/tutorial step by step? Pretty sure the Bitmain guide misses something or it would have worked out, not?

Thx in advance.

So not only I got my unit ridiclously late although batch 1.
Now 3 of the 9 chains are gone, seems like defective hashboard. And the rest schows status "CC". Any ideas?

So is upgrading the firmware only possible via SD card?
I get the same error. It does not work with either of the both files.

edit:
So basically, I draw the controlboard back, insert the prepared SD card and boot up the miner. Right? Anything else?

Here is what I did exactly:
-I formatted an 8 GB micro SD card with FAT32 and extracted the files from the SD firmware file onto it.
-I ended up with a xilinx folder, a runme.sh and a ubi_info file on the card.
-I turned off the miner disconnected the ethernet and put in the SD card in the slot. Then I set the R4 Jumper to the other position and powered the miner on.
-I waited some minutes but the lights did not flash as described.
-I also tried this procedure with disconnected hashboards.

So i set the jumper back and rebooted the unit normally with the old firmware.

So bitmain support was helpful.
Here is a manual for flashing Antminer E3 via SD card:

Althougth you upload upgrade firmware from web interface use Antminer-E3-20180806.tar.gz (without "WEB" in the name).

Taco.


No idea and it failed for me too but if you click UPGRADE and reset to factory defaults it will fix everything up for you, now get a taco

Does any one know how to flash Antminer E3 ??
IF i try web version get error : 413 - Request Entity Too Large


For SD card bitmain provide taz.gz file and not IMG.
How to flash E3 using SD card???

PLease help

Hey, I got the same issue, I opened a ticket and the support told to send the faulty board to them (It was only one chain which has the BB error), now the miner is working at 130~140H/S, pictures below.
I'm trying to get a free coupon from them to compensate for the missing days without the board but I know they will give nothing  .

More information I got here:

Also I was asking a question on reddit (port for ETC):
https://www.reddit.com/r/MiningPoolHub/comments/98vgwa/about_correct_url_for_e3/

Give me pool parameters please. I can not manage to set it up correctly

I use Nanopool... one E3 works fine ... other have got some problems....

This is the mail that i send with Bitmain:

Good morning, i open this ticket because i think that my miner Antminer E3 first batch that arrived Yesterday 17/07/2018 have some problems.... after 10/20 minutes of working ( i send you the history of starting procedure of the miner) one chain don't work.....

If you see in the photo (E3 2) after about two minutes of working , the chain 12 don't recognise temperature pcb, temperature chip and hashrate is too low compared to other chain but asic status seems correct.

After 1 minute from the previus screenshot in the photo E3 3 the asic status of chain 12 is CC.... the hashrate of chain 12 is lowest compared other chain temperature pcb and chip is zero.

After 20 minutes ( photo E3 5 ) of working the asic status of chain 12 is BB....

After 30 minute ( Photo E3 6) asic status return CC .

Where is the problem? Can you help me?

Thank you very much.
