Have theory that A3 was build on D3  and this is the reason some A3 (including mine) have problems with hash boards - appears/disappears, hashing/no hashing, all asics few only and then turning 0000 into xxxx...

Nothing is helping to solve: rebooting, restarting, resetting, plugging / unplugging, each by one, separately, adding two AWP++ , changing controller cables 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4  Even flashing ( thank you blissz) - NOTHING

But funny my D3 with A3 firmware turns into A3 miner, even connects to the SIA pool, but not hashing and after moment all asics turns xxxx

This suggest than  sia network or "brick attack" on 24th is not the real problem. The real is that bitmain cleaned D3 stock transforming them into A3 thought

____  NOW the funny moment. If/when somebody finds out hot to avoid that wall  to make D3 (with A3 firmware) hashing on SIA network.... Smiley  ....... ALL D3 would finally be able to deliver ROI
i'm thinking of vice versa - mining Dash by A3...
even half hash rate would be fine lol

Is it an assumption? Or you have done the switch from D3 to A3?

They sent to me the firmware too, but it's the same one that is already in the units. What is the name of the file did you receive?

How many of you guys are having problems with the the A3 chains?

In one of my A3s two of the chains are not working and in the other A3 on chain isn't working either.  Huh

How hot are you allowing them to run?
Man, you're the only one in here that understands what is going on with these units. 600 Frequency is jacked. These miners are OVERCLOCKED already. Now we got people that have no idea what they are doing, running these beasts on 120v circuits with inadequate PSU's and overclocking them. There is reports of meters showing 1400 watt pulls at the wall. Big amperage too.  I'm running a couple and I know a bit about electricity. Not as much as you, but I know enough to know that these guys are playing with fire. Literally. If your breakers and wiring aren't extremely robust, you very may well end up with a tragic situation on your hands. These things are heating up my 12 gauge wire with new 20 amp 240 v breakers. If you do this with a bad or malfunctioning breaker, your breaker box is going up in flames. Maybe your house with it. Please think about what you are doing and do some serious research. These are COMMERCAIL miners that are running at Redline at the factory setting. This shit is NO JOKE! That's all I'll say. Good luck.

Nope many A3 came 1 or 2 hashboard dead.So these people including myself know about warranty condisions, I guess they don't over clock their A3s.Because it is broken form beginning .

Mine, 200V input and AWP++1600W normal clock.
So, PCB temp is 58C and 62C .

This is mostly BITMAIN issue. They send malfunctioning machine.
Not user's.
So it is simple, we just have to wait the BITMAIN do something.
Better make repair ticket. And leave messages with GUI system & miner config picture.

also different chips/ chipsset is used on hashboards!

Dfferent algos, its most likely hard coded.  You won't be able to hash X11 with A3s for sure and vice versa.

Some local guy is trying to sell one for $8500. Will these be hard to get? I know they are sold out now.

There is no way it’s worth even half that price. Income has dropped by half in the past few days and will likely go south of $100/day by next week.

Yea, its not worth 8500, but that stupid Baikal is selling for 10k wtf...  All these miners are way overpriced... have no idea what is going on. Huh
What is going on is in the name of CGMINER...    Crypto Greed Miner!  I don't understand why people pay so much and their ROI is 8+ months with a flat calculation, and not calculating in rate of decay of income.  But hey...  just makes the rest of us look smarter!

I am selling Antminer A3 , if anyone interest let me know, its brand new unit. Thanks.

Price?

I am selling mine at 6k$ or equivalent crypto
I traded my A3 for two S9's that were 2 weeks old... :-)
Rate of decay was too much.  Figured jump ship.

Anyone had issues with luxor and siamining pools showing as dead?

I have been at this all Night and they just show up dead. Antpool shows as alive and hashing. But when checking the website no actual hashing is going on.

Startes when i updated my pool info last Night. If I dont add antpool it just doesnt show anything in the miner status. No firewall blocking things or so.

Was running smooth at the same place, network etc yesterday

Profits are visibly decreasing by a good percentage every hour now. I wonder when it'll taper off....

Just based on the global hash rate, it looks like most of these boxes are online now. I would say the tapering is starting. My guess is somewhere in the $50 - $100 / day category until the next batch.

I would also venture to say most are online also.  I made the mistake of using UPS, so while everyone who used Fedex and DHL were getting theirs at the beginning of the week, I got mine yesterday.  I had to be in the last 20%.

I dont think we are even close to reaching batch 1 max. Total is at 5500 THS now. We started at 500. Assuming half GPU miners are gone by now, puts A3 at 5250 THS. 800 GHS average comes to 6500 A3.

We are only half way there I guess. Bitmain sold 13000 A3 was the talk.

despite obvious risk on difficulty/hashrate fast increase there are 3 hopes:
1. Siacoin price will grow
2. Current and new batch buyers will restrain from purchase since roi is getting longer and longer (even baikal x10 with 7000k investment seem more profitable now) 
3. Difficulty will be adjusted upon Sia 139k block hardfork full implementation

any other thoughts?

For those having a dead hashboard we need to regroup and  send a strong message to bitmain to have a quick support.
For those interested by this approach. Please send me a PM and I will add you to my message.
At the end of the day we invest a lot of €€$$ and we are loosing money everyday and we all know it will be difficult to catch


OK yesterday they suppose to be back to work.
but no reply to message and ticket.

So I'm in.

I send you personal message.
