I think it was probably a pool overload or ddos attack as some gpu miners also reported loss in hash rate about at the same time. Probably a good idea to spear the hash between luxor(gulp), f2pool(double gulp) and siamining

Hey so I've got mine hooked up and boards 1 & 2 are runnning fine, but board 3 is not hashing anything.. Someone told me to flash the firmware but I don't see the A3 firmware up on Bitmains site. Any ideas? I've tried resetting it twice now. Tip for who can!!!
It was some kind of brick test that someone did. And they succeeded.
They're allowing us to mine again for now. Just reboot your A3
do you have some sources?
Read my reply few posts above.

As other posters have mentioned, my A3 also started experiencing all sorts of HW issues (hashboards not working properly, sometimes first board sometimes second). This lasted about an hour and now everything seems to be working properly. I seriously freaked for a minute, thought bitmain sent me a defective unit. Sounds like this was something on the pools end.
Yeah, they were testing some kind of brick hack.

Thankfully they're based in the US. I'm wondering if all the devs are from the US as well.

No, Luxor is NOT a good pool. They want to BRICK all the Antminers A3. DO NOT mine with them.
Just look at what they said here: https://medium.com/@nitronick600/message-to-nebulous-labs-7c42df1f86d5

They are looking to sabatoge their competitors hardware if favor of their own, yet to be released hardware by soft forking in the Spring.
This is the definition of AntiTrust. If they follow through they will be the first Crypto to face a Federal class action antitrust lawsuit. They would be letting spite become jail.

Shutdown the miner, wait 5 min and power up for test it.or restore factory defaults --> press reset button for 10 or 15 seconds

i have the same problem, sinze some minutes the miner show HW error and go offline
did we have a other mining pool without login, mining only with the sia adress? only for testing?
+1 had this problem. But seems to have been fixed now. did we have a other mining pool without login, mining only with the sia adress? only for testing?

This happens when people not aware what decentralization is gets powerful machines.

I don't know how they did that. They killed the ASIC chips for like 30 minutes. It looks like it's fixed now.
But look at the status of my miner just when it happened: https://i.imgur.com/D148ykq.png
Rebooted several times and it didn't work. I had to turn it off completely.
I tried with NiceHash and Luxor and still the same thing was happening.

So it looks like SiaMining Pool bricked ALL A3 users.
All miners are showing THOUSANDS of HW errors and several dead ASIC chips.

Lol thats crazy, how did they manage to brick the A3s ?

How exactly could a pool brick physical hardware? That would be one hell of a hack haha

I received almost 22k Sia Coins within first 24 hours... diffiuclty level is adjusting and quickly as more countries round world join the mining of SC
would you mind to give us a link on your siamining.com profile
waiting for my 2x A3s coming 29th but the only real stats I saw yet are from that youtube dude on previous page
