Topic: Delays in BitMain L3 batches delivery (Read 2256 times)
At least they actually shipped the damn products
I have 2 orders of 21st sept batch which are not yet shipped 
it's always a gamble preordereng asics. they rarely meet their deadlines.some say they mine with your hardware until it's not profitable for them,then they ship to you
This is obviously not the case here.
Bitmain delivered on their promise, with only a few days of delay!
I might consider changing the title of the thread to be fair to them.

Well it's fine as long as soldering and all work are done properly with proper knowledge.
I use Prohashing.

Ok, thanks for the tip!
What is your hashing power?
Would you be willing to try out something new?

Thanks for the heads up, I guess better to use the moeny to trade or do GPU mining not ASICS!
I would still suggest using the breakout board and buy or make PCI-E power cables for it.
The thing is that the machines are here, delivery times are around 2 weeks, that's a loss of money.
If moding the server board is safe for the miners, I would use them, if power output (2.5A max per endpoint) is too little and will hurt performance,
I can always sell those to PPL with similar miners that consume less power on ebay once replacement arrives.
What do you reckon?
Thanks,
O.
P.S
Where do you mine?
Do you mine on a standard pool? merge mining? multi mining?
I came up with a merge+multi mining pool with a friend, and it was much more profitable than Prohashing for us with our 2 old miners (Innosilicon A2 and one tube of an A4).

I was stupid enough not to order any PSU, any recommendation for an affordable Europe-compatible PSU.

Yes.
First, buy a HP DPS-1200 FBA 1200W server power supply.
I was able to find one at Ebay with a quick search http://www.ebay.de/itm/HP-12V-1200W-Power-Supply-441830-001-438202-001-440785-001-HSTNS-PD11-/272392400345?epid=1204680600&hash=item3f6bda2dd9:g:VX4AAOSw6nNZrm6N
You might want to check if you have some local vendors selling one.
Then buy one breakout board and nine pieces 6-pin PCI-E power cables for the server power supply from J4bberwock.
See his thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-custom-server-psu-breakout-boards-1200w-1300w-2000w-2880w-4kw-738527
Look for the "DPS-1200 FB A, XL board".
He says that board only at the moment, so you have to ask him if his able to sell any cables at the moment.
Then buy a C13 power cord that fits in your electrical socket in the other end (Type F "schuko" is quite common in Europe).
Thank you for your feedback!
Would it be possible to get an all-in-one solution, possibly in a local shop (North Europe).
Thanks again!

I saw one shop in Germany but only 1 pcs available. It is the same shop where you can buy the FutureBit Moonlander.

I found 4 of those used PSUs
https://www.skelbiu.lt/skelbimai/1200w-psu-mineriam-eth-zec-ir-t-t-29742455.html
Would it be possible to use with the L3 with some slight modifications done by a guy with some practical electric-engineering knowledge?

I will pay 50 EUR to the father of a friend (who is an electrician) for modifying all 4.
The exact model is HP HSTNS-PL11 (I think).

I was recently emailing back and forth with one of the owners, and they're basically sending out the largest patches first. The ideas to make sure that the larger mining farms in pool get resupplied first and then the individual user last. It would just be crazy to try to to supply in the opposite direction that might cause a shift in the power index.
This is one of the reasons why I mainly try to stay away from ASICs. The larger miners who buy in bulk get first mover advantage and milk out those juicy first month profits while the small time miner sits on the sidelines fretting about his or her order. By the time most smaller miners get up and running, the big boys have already recovered a good chunk of their ROI while the little guy is just starting. It ends up being a hamster wheel as then a new tech is announced and the cycle continues, again with the bigger miners who probably made ROI already can again front-run everyone else and thus the cycle continues.

I can tell you as far as noise they are not as bad as the S9's.
OK, package seems to be stopped by customs.
Do BitMain typically declare the value of the package? how do they do it if I pay with LTC?
LTC was way cheaper back in the day.
Thanks,
O.

Bitmain almost always ships right on time, so I would contact them if my shipment would be very late from the schedule.
Ok, thanks everyone for the feedback, my machines shipped around the 1st of September, allesgut!
I will keep you posted once I receive them and have a chance to test 'em out?
P.S
How noisy are those?
Is it possible to have 4-8 on a porch of cottage? :')

I ordered for the Aug 28-Sept 12 batch, and miners got shipped out exactly on the 28th. Sounds like there was a mess up with your order.
I have 4 of the late Aug batch, they are all still unshipped.

Yup, he needs to contact Bitmain to see what's going on.
