Just received my A3, hooked it up and doesn't seem to be connecting. Tried to go to Antpool, but there is no longer a Siacoin Pool to choose from the dropdown list. Are these A3 miners being blocked?

Tried with miningpoolhub, but nothing seems to be happening.

The hardware version says "Socket connect failed: Connection refused"

Looked into some other pools, but not really sure how you would go about hooking up an ASIC to those. Would I just put it like this:

URL:  sia-asia1.nanopool.org:7777
worker: my sia wallet address?Huh
password: x

Any insight would be appreciated.
Make sure you let it boot entirely. What you see in hardware version is usually because it hasn't yet booted up entirely. In my opinion nanopool is a nice pool. If you don't know what a cryptocurrency wallet address is you have some catch up to do Smiley


Brother, I'm not an idiot, pretty sure nobody has hooked an asic miner for Sia up to Nanopool. They only offer dual mining from what I've seen, so you have to do ethereum first and Sia 2nd for the set up option they have. I've only used Nanopool for ethereum, so not sure.

Anyway, i let it run with Miningpoolhub and its starting to go...slowly. The lights on the A3 were not lit, then the red would come on, then off, then the green would come on, but it would not blink like the S9 and L3+ to show its working. Will give updates

I am in the US and cannot choose Fed ex even tho I have input my ein into settings.  Is there something else I need to do?

You gotta type an importer no. here: https://shop.bitmain.com/user/addressBook.htm
Yeah, but what in hell do I put there? Smiley I read somewhere that for a person the importer number is the SSN + 00, but I'm not sure I can trust that info.

Yeah, you have to type your SSN (I understand your concern with this info), Tax ID or EIN (I use this) or Importer No. (you can get this from the CBP)
It's asking me for both importer number and SSN. SSN is not enough. I think I've found an answer I can trust:
"If you do not have an IRS business tax number, you may use your social security number in any paperwork requiring an importer number." From here: https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/198/~/importer-numbers
So I'll fill in both SSN and Importer number with my SSN.

I saw that Ant-pool is adding Sia coin to there pool. I'm having trouble understanding how to mine Sia coin otherwise. Do you think it will be similar to setting up an S9? I also don't see Sia coin available on the antpool to mine.

I saw it in the Web of Antpool on 17 an 18 the banner with the stratum ip, but after that disappear. I hope this was a test and on tuesday will be back full operative, when the first A3 will be delivered, I am like you and waiting, i have alternatives to the antpool like a b plan.

I would say the mining prediction is really tempting but after awhile it's gonna be like D3 ...
So not really worth it I would say just stick with L3 and S9
I'm personally did a review on it if you guys like to check it out feel free to and correct me.

apparently the hard fork is happening today I just saw that on siamining.com

"Reminder: Due to Sia's upcoming hardfork (expected on January 21), you must upgrade your Sia wallet software to version 1.3.1 or higher. You can continue to use the same address for mining, and no changes to your configuration are needed. For more information about the fork, click here."

I hope this does not implement the comment of SIA team, which states that they will make all the A3 obsolete.  Lips sealed Lips sealed Lips sealed

version 1.3.0 add difficulty adjustment on every block as compared to previous version - every 500 block.

I think this was just to address some other issues.  This soft fork was planned well before the A3 was announced.
