How long does it take to credit to your wallet? I noticed that Bittrex hasn't updated their block in over an hour and a half for Sia
6 confirmations |
|
|
|
Also just curious to see if anyone is mining directly to Bittrex? I saw that someone was but I haven't received my first payout yet and I need to figure out if I need to setup the Sia wallet or not.
Yes, I'm mining to Bittrex. |

well guess what if anyone had that power it would be bitmain sneaking something in the firmware, its sad because it probably defective hardware from bitmain possible a memory leak, or firmware issue, but they will blame SIA because its an easy taget with all that's going on in the community
Yeah because all A3's in different parts of the world will fail at the same time. lol You have no idea of what you're talking about. Sia Devs said they will fork to invalidate the A3's. It's really easy. They just have to install the new client version (that has the fork implemented) in the top mining pools. All the miners that are connected to that mining pool would be mining in the new forked chain and if there were A3's connected to that pool, guess what would happen: just what we saw today. I'm pretty sure they were testing it today. The same problem happen with f2pool in china, sia has no contact or affiliation with them so no they were not testing IT today Other pools were not affected. Just because f2pool was affected as well it doesn't mean that it was the entire network |

What model PSU's are people using that dont have a AP3++?
110 USA power.
Bitmain APW3++ and 120V here. how does it work? Lot's of hardware errors? I hear it needs 1500 watts/ Mine is running fine. It doesn't need 1,500 watts. Did you try to reboot? How many HW errors you're getting? |

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  I tried Luxor and the same thing was happening. @VoskCoin I don't have any sources. But it looked like they were doing something weird I can confirm that... It looks like they were attempted something and it was coordinated... The spiked drop in Hash rate on the entire network is dramatic. It wasn't pool specific. Not all A3s are mining on the same pool though, if there was some coordinated attack that affected A3s, that would affect the whole network It affected various pools. Not only SiaMining Pool. I tried Luxor and it was affected as well. |

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. This is what I saw: https://i.imgur.com/D148ykq.png |

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

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 That's scary as hell! But boards 1 and 2 have always worked and the 3rd didn't work. Even when its set up to standard antpool settings. Hoping that I don't have a bad board out of the gate -_-. Never happened on any of my S9's and L3+'s EDIT: willi9974: That worked! Thank you sir! Tip coming your way my friend Great! No problem! Trust me, I know how you felt. My heart almost stopped when I saw this: https://i.imgur.com/D148ykq.png |

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.pngRebooted 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. Most miners are showing THOUSANDS of HW errors and several dead ASIC chips.  |

DO NOT mine with Luxor. They're the TOP supporters of the soft fork.
That means that they want to BRICK your Antminer A3.
So why the heck would you support them and mine with them?

I got 2 but planning to run only 1 in my apartment. Well, I am planning to use the APW3++. It says that it wont provide more than 1200 W if ran from 110 V. My initial plan was to use one of the GFCI ( https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFCI) from the bathroom or kitchen since they have desicated 15 A breakers. But of APW3++ cant give the A3 more than 1200 W, theb I am SOL, right? That is when I started researching about using dryer plug. Why do you think a sungle A3 should be fine to run from a 15A 120 V if the AWP3++ cant do well on 120 V? If it will work, i will just use the GFCI Keep in mind, electric in the USA is 120v, not 110v (1440W usable continuous on 15A).
I was running 2x vega 56s, 1x vega 64, and a L3+ overclocked (920W at the kill-a-watt using APW3++) on the same 15A 120v circuit. The breaker only tripped when my wife turned on the hair dryer.
Oh ya, My TV, laptop, and stereo amplifier are also on that circuit... So was the christmas tree over the holidays..
I see what you're saying, at 120V the APW3++ would only put out 103A DC (1236W). If you just need to host the one, just get the adapter.  I'm using the APW3++ with a S9 and it's running fine on 110v The S9 is ~1323W and the A3 ~1200W why you say that the APW3++ can't be used with the A3? The S9 draws 6.5 amps at 240v. That's 1560 watts. I have a metered PDU so I know what I am talking about. Bitmain even says the APW3++ will not output 1600watts without 240v voltage. Please read again what I wrote: If that's the case, why am I using the APW3++ with a S9 and it's running fine on 120v? Maybe the S9 you have is a 14 TH unit. Those are more power hungry and consume over 1600 watts: https://youtu.be/sz-XZL77qqs?t=330 |

Fedex is always the best option IMO when ordering from Bitmain. After they marked as shipped I'm pretty much guaranteed to receive the order within 2 days. All of my Fedex orders ship faster than the UPS orders and I'd also like to throw out that I've had 3 orders caught in a warehouse by UPS for over a week. I called UPS and they said that it was happening to THOUSANDS of orders from Bitmain, for some reason they would hold them in warehouse for weeks and then ship them. This is after Bitmain marks as shipped. I was able to get my hands on 2 of the A3's but I am debating about whether or not I want to sell them on eBay or if I want to mine with them. I've sold quite a few miners on eBay with no hassle, I've always put "AS is all warranty will be done through BITMAIN, no seller remorse no returns no refunds accepted" i'm just worried with this one though if someone could actually go through with it. Anyone had a buyer on eBay try to return something because they changed their mind? even though you state no returns or no refunds especially due to buyers remorse?
Actually, if you check your listing, eBay is no longer offering their eBay Buyer Protection for mining hardware sales. Look below the price that it says: Coverage: Read item description or contact seller for details. See all details (Not eligible for eBay purchase protection programs) So apparently, buyers can't use the eBay protection anymore. However, I think they still can do it with PayPal and of course, they can also do a credit card chargeback. I only ship when the PayPal transaction details says that I'm elegible for the PayPal Seller protection and I always use UPS Adult Signature Confirmation + Direct Delivery to make sure that the buyer doesn't change the delivery address and the UPS driver has to ask for their ID before delivery. And of course, I always record a video of the miner hashing away for 5 minutes and showing the miner S/N. I don't usually share the video with the buyer unless they come out saying that the miner is defective or something. Also, make sure to ALWAYS declare the real item value with UPS or whatever carrier you're using and PAY for the insurance. Even if you have to pay $100 ~ $150 for shipping, it is always better that way because the courier will make sure to be careful with the package because they know they'll have to pay the entire value if things go south. |

Can someone tell me if we can run these in a aprtment in the US? I believe we have 125 V 15 A breakers. But the APW++ PSU on bitmain site says that 110 V will only provide 1200 W ourput. Are we SOL? Will the bathroom or kitchen special outlets do any help?
You'll be able to power a single A3 on one of those circuits, but I wouldn't use a single APW3++. I'd go for the EVGA SuperNova 1600 G2 instead. We have a ton of customers who attempted to run the S9 with an APW3++ over 120v circuits and would often experience hashing boards that would just disappear until the next reboot. Moving to 220v circuits almost always fixes the issue permanently. The point is that the APW3++ will still attempt to output the full amount needed by the miner, but the power will likely be less consistent and you'll also be increasing your fire hazard risk. If you insist on using the APW3++, then get 2 of them and run some hashing boards on one and the rest on the other. That's weird. I've never experienced this issue with the S9 and the APW3++ They're not made to run 110v. Made for 220-240. Sometimes on 110v with AP3++ won't even power up. Well I have a 13.5 TH (1323W) S9 on 110v with the APW3++ running with no issues at all. https://i.imgur.com/16yimGX.pngMaybe I'm getting confused with the old power supply units. Oh well, glad it's working. As long as you have a 20 amp breaker it's not a burden on the breaker depending on what else your pulling through that breaker. You don't want to pull more than 1760 watts through a 20 amp breaker on a 110 circuit. At least I wouldn't. Helps to know what gauge wire they ran behind the walls to. The older the structure, the riskier this gets. Yeah, I think you're referring to the old Bitmain PSUs: APW3 and the APW3+ those needed 220v. In fact, according to CryptoCrane's video Bitmain's PSU consume less power and are more efficient than the EVGA PSU. And it's cheaper. Check the video here: https://youtu.be/sz-XZL77qqs?t=330tl;dr I'm pretty sure you'll be safe using the APW3++ and 110v with the A3 |
