When s3 batch 3 will be out for sale
You mean Batch 4. batch 3 its sold out and... who knows when  |
|
|
|
From now on no one say ANYTHING about how much time it took to solve the last block, or how long the current block is taking! It seems that when we were not discussing the time between blocks, were were solving 2,3 sometimes 4 a day. I think all of this talk has angered the Bitcoin Gods!!  awwwwwwww yeah  |

So i bought 2 S3 i will have 2 Coupons... well not bad. Hope they start delivering soon, i am from batch 2 |
|
|
|
|
Well i payed 2 units, so coupon would be around 80$ if its the 10% of total payed
|
|

Doing the math on the compensation offer...
Assume you bought 2 S3s from Batch 1 .75 BTC x 2 = 1.5 BTC
A refund of 7.7% = .1155 BTC
A coupon for 10% off of your next purchase of 2 miners at the current purchase price of .725 BTC each = (.725 * 2)(.1)= .145 BTC
Net difference is .145 - .1155 = .0295 BTC, or about $18.29.
That's only getting a $9 per miner bonus on a future order, not knowing at this point how future batches will hash.
Perhaps the 10% off coupon will apply to an unlimited number of miners on your future order, in which case the coupon will be of greater value. Or maybe it won't have an expiration and you could use it when it becomes of maximum value. But to me, it seems like money in hand is the better option.
Money in hand is the smarter option, but I'm such a sucker for coupons. It was such a brilliant move on Bitmains part, though. but wasnt it a 10% coupon of the total amount you payed for batch 1,2 or 3? |

I have that PSU, and if its 340W / S3 for 444 GH/s without OC i dont see how you cant run two S3 with 1 Corsair CX750M. Its 680W total and maximun its 750 Because its worth it to do OC till 478 GH/s if you are lucky and you can? for just 34 more GH/s ?? or better not to? . I think i wont do OC because i prefer 444 GH/s @340W |
|

HURRAYYYY so they're not taking holiday  hope most of the miners has the 478GH/s All devices will ship with default speed of 441. If our duty to over clock to 478 at risk of burning dc-dc component. who will OC then?? i dont think i will if they are going to burn out for just 37GH/s more  |
|

|

I would like also to know, from BITMAIN, OC parameters because i dont want to burn out my 2 S3. Can you please tell us secure parameters for overclocking S3 without any risk?

In the morning DHL delivered me three Antminer S3-s, I was in the batch 1 ordered the very first moment.
I ordered for two but in the packet there where three S3s.Maybe a bonus from BitMainTech or an accident?
Anyhow, there were no customs duty for me. I don't know why. DHL simply dropped in my place.
As they advertised, there should have a cover for the miner for air flow control, But in my three S3-s the cover was missing.
Also, one of them was little dirty and the fans came with dirt. The other two were brand new. The dirty one may be the S3 they used first for testing.
After all, the dimension of S3 is smaller than S1 and the body is build with plastic instead of metal. It weighs less than 500gms.
Its working hard on my desk, silently, there is no vibration due to the additional 4 rubber standoffs attached in the base
otherwise, due to low weight the noise of S3 vibrating on my desk may not be bearable.
Its hashing fine at 478/366. Overall a very good deal.
Todays was a pleasant morning, I was happy when I woke up, I got a good deal from BitMain, all credits to them.
Suddenly, I realised that, my pre-orders are still waiting for BitMainTech to ship. The hard think I realised, all the above was a dream.
So, much fun!
lol i hate you |

Well, its ok, what do you think its better?
10% coupon or 7,7% refund?
Its 10% of what, what we paid?? (1.48 for 2 S3 in my case). Or its 10% coupon of what cost 1 S3??
Coupon is better if you plan on buying another one It is probably applied to the original purchase price So if i purchased 2 units, i will receive a 10% coupon of 1,48 BTC? Thats 0.148 BTC --> 89,74 $ Not bad because i would like to buy another unit. Just 1 coupon then? Hope they lower also price for next batch. I thought i could OC both to have 1 TH/s or so, now i wont be able to get to 1 TH/s argggg  So if we are not lucky to OC S3 to 478GH/s how much can we OC it? |

IMPORTANT. Bitmain posted on the other S3 thread: Hello everyone,
When we were doing the first mass production, we found that not all of the S3’s DC/DC module could be stable enough to support the 478GH/s speed. After long time testing, all of the S3 run stably at 441GH/s, which however is 7.7% less than the 478GH/s we have announced.
So we decide the final specification of ANTMINER S3 here:
Hash Rate: 441 GH/s or more
Power Consumption: about 340 Watt at the wall when running at 441GH/s
Power Efficiency: 0.77 J/GH on wall
Power Supply: 12V DC
Size: 331 mm x 137 mm x 160 mm
Fans: Two 14038 fans mounted on both front and back ends.
Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 35 °C
Complied with: FCC / CE
Network Connection: Ethernet
Many of the customers may be lucky to find that their S3 can be overclocked to 478GH/s.
We apologize for this incident. We offer two options for customers:
1) 10.0% worth of coupon for the B1~B3 customers. This is the default option.
2) 7.7% worth of refund. We will release a function on our official website for application of this option. If you have bought from our resellers, please contact them and provide your Bitcoin address.
Shipping schedule updated:
Batch 1: The shipping will be finished in 14th and 17th.
Batch 2: It will be shipping out between 18th and 19th.
Batch 3: It will be shipping out between 19th and 22nd. |

Bitmain said on 8th july: The bulk PCB will be arriving tonight, and we will start first batch production tomorrow. First batch usually takes a longer time than later. We may ship the S3 -B1 on or before 14th So keep calm They said "may". So the 20th is still within their estimate IMHO. M Yeah. well, lets see what happens. |

And bitmain last active was today. They could say something. Whatever. I don't like silence We will have to wait a little more  |

Man, still no orders shipped...i sense people are starting to get nervous.
Maybe there's a last minute surprise coming. Maybe a firmware update to 625 GH/s and 325 watts? I'd like that a lot. What would your maybe be? From 478GH/s to 625GH/s ? Lol I don't think so I wish that was true =) |
