Is it possible to combine the .075 and .0725 coupons for a batch 5 order?

Usually, one coupon per order with Bitmain.
People have said that you can use a coupon for each miner  - so if you have a c
Does anyone know where a guide is to setup remote access for these miners ?

No changes needed. Just configure port forwarding on your router.

thanks I ended up figuring it out!
you changed the root password on it I hope. Changing the port for SSH to something else other than 22 or 2222 would help minimize the brute force ssh attack scans.

Yes, I did both of those things. But that's to make it secure, not to make it work. That's why I didn't mention them specifically. Smiley

Flashed both of my units, the beeps were annoying. No change in GH/s.

1) What's up with the Wifi options in the networking tab? Is this for potential wifi expansion? Was surprised when I seemed to be able to connect o my wifi network with them, but ya must have 'connected' just through my wired connections.  Anyways just want to make sure that there is no wifi right.


You need an antenna, but it has wifi built in.

Is the wifi set up the same as with the S1's?  I don't see this anywhere in the doc nor do is see the SME connector in the pics.  Just bought five S3s (batch 5) and have been running seven S1s on WiFi with absolutely no issues for months.  Thought I was going to have to hardwire for the S3s, but would love to avoid doing so, if possible/practical.  Is anyone actually running S3s on WiFi?  If so, are there any issues to be aware of?


I'm running one S3 on wifi and another hard wired, but that's because it can't get the signal strong enough for the wifi where it has to be located for the time being. The one running wifi isn't using an antennae.

So does the S3 have an SMA connector for an antenna?  It looks like this:

Yes but you have to open the case and keep it that way. They were too lazy/cheap to connect a pigtail.

How safe is it to power one blade with a power supply while powering the other blade with another one?

From https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020140724130242972en240AMe064E it says "Don’t parallel connected different DC input from different PSU into the same Hashing board."

Does that mean different hashing boards are okay?

Woot, got mine.  Finally I'll get to join the TH/s club.

More like the "just under TH if you're lucky" club. Smiley

I got an email from Bitmain about my refund. They are confirming my withdrawal address.

Anyone using their S3 on P2Pool? I am mining on GHash right now and it makes me hate myself. If P2Pool worked for you guys, I'll switch them as soon as I get back.

use Eligius man

S3s are working great with P2Pool, here are 4 stock S3s running on a single address:

I'll try moving them when I get back home from work today. Let's see how it performs for me.

I have a bit of a problem. Hoping someone can help, I'm fine with computers but have no clue when it comes to network addresses etc.

To start with, I couldn't change the routers subnet so I went through a direct PC connection. Logged into the Ant fine & changed to DCHP. The Ant still had 192.168.1.99/24 as the IPv4 address at that time.

Here's where I went wrong perhaps, I had to connect to the internet again to get details for my pool (having to disconnect from the Ants), and since then I haven't been able to re-login to the Antminers. I've tried resetting them and trying to find them via the router, but they are not there. Anyone have any idea what went wrong/how I can login to them again pls?

Download Advanced IP Scanner and run that. It should find your Ant.

thanks for your reply.  Funnily enough I had just run that software, but Ants are not found :/  Which is weird because the lights are happily flashing away & I'm sure they're mining to Bitmain's account no problem over my network somehow.

my ip scanner reports ants as Paragon technologies

There is nothing icky about that. Looking up the manufacturer from a MAC address is often inaccurate, and on top of that it reports the manufacturer of the network interface controller on the device, not the manufacturer of the device.

Luckily both of mine hash at ~450GH/s using the default settings. I haven't tried overclocking them since I haven't received my second power supply yet. I will give that a try when I get it tomorrow.
73  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: July 23, 2014, 02:50:56 PM
Did anyone notice that their miner was already configured to mine at peculiar IP addresses or just antpool? My miner even had a name, suggesting that they were at least mining with 500 of these miners.
74  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip on: July 23, 2014, 02:20:59 PM
Any info on why?
I'm guessing a couple of customs agents were bribed into slowing things down by one of the other competitors Grin



Maybe because it says "BITCOIN MINER" literally in capital letters on the outside of the box.......


What the hell where they thinking?HuhHuhHuh??

Saw a post a ways back by some member who said that he used to work for UPS international.
He said that those types of messages were usually due to paperwork problems.
Could be almost anything, forms not filled correctly, descriptions, piece counts, etc.
But it could be because it said "BITCOIN MINER" like the other guy said.

My batch 1 order sent out 7/19 finally arrived in Ontario, CA after passing through Alaska.
Been stuck in Calif. for over 7 hrs. If I get it tomorrow it'll only be a day late.

That's what happened to mine to and I'm in California as well. It followed Anchorage, AK -> Ontario, CA -> Oakland, CA -> San Francisco, CA.

The only issue with ordering directly from Bitmain is that they don't take PayPal, only Bec and I don't have any since I am new to this. Plus PayPal is very easy to use.


You are on the wrong forum then.

Gee you are very helpful, thank you!


I was joking about what you said about PayPal. Sorry if I offended you. Smiley

Looks like 1 of 3 is a winner:


Just play with each setting and leave it for a few hours these S3s take a while to even out.

you have 25 times more discarded shares than accepted. I am not sure that it means anything, though.

Can someone clarify if that means anything? That's the case for me as well and I'm not even running it overclocked.

Should "load balancing" be turned on in the S3 ?
Default has it "off" I think on the S1 it was on.

It was on by default on the S1. You can turn it on if you want. It will give you a more optimal balance between the servers but it will divide work.

One of my only gripes with mine (outside an unneeded UPS shipment release frustration bomb - would only release 1 of 2 boxes to my front door)...

It lists on the UPS label on each box "Description: BITCOIN MINER" -  Still not comfortable with this being out in the open given what the hardware is...

This is idiotic: each box "Description: BITCOIN MINER" - they might as well say "PLEASE STEAL ME!" Who put the description on the box, UPS or Bitmain? That means more eyes on our personal business. Especially if we live in repressive countries.




can we see a picture of this ??

I still have the box, I'll take a picture when I get back from work. It is pretty obvious, though. It is not a very small text at all.

I have two S3s hashing stably hashing for the last 15 hours. One is at the default voltage/frequency and hashing at 450GH/s and the other one is underclocked and hashing at 220GH/s. They both seem to hash at 450-470GH/s range pretty stably when they are alone.

I only have a 750W E-VGA PSU at this point so I can't run both of them at the default settings but I ordered another 600W PSU from Amazon to run both of them overclocked.
