Sorry for being noobish, I didn't feel like digging through the posts. I've got a bunch of SILK from the original coin release, is it possible to reclaim these?
yes its still the same silk. just make sure to do a fresh install ie: delete everything but your wallet and run the new beta. youll also like have to do a repairwallet as 1.0.9.2 client wallets have found to be corrupted by the previous runtime issues. Perfect, thanks! |

Any word on the compensation units? There hasn't been a weekly update for months now.

There appears to be some DOGE/TRL volume over on Bleutrade. Quite interesting.

I'm curious how many people were having issues and upgraded firmware vs those who upgraded for the sake of upgrading.
Seriously, if it ain't broken don't fix it. I've got S3(+) from multiple batches and I haven't updated any of them. They all run 24/7 without issue.

I think someone needs to learn the difference between 4 Rails and 4 Connectors. Before they melt down a shiny new miner and blame it on the manufacturer.
This is why these manufactures need to be providing power supplies. I've never gotten the point of not providing one. Other than to make it difficult to figure out what the hell you're doing. Because standard ATX PSU's can be used with next gen miners instead of having to pay for a new PSU every time you upgrade. |

is it possible to have more than 3 pools on antminer s3? and if so please show me how  If you need more than 2 backup pools you may want to look into more reliable pools instead. If you're doing load balancing or something similar, you're better off dedicating certain machines to a particular pool and using the other 2 as the backup. e.g. Miner A: Pool1, Pool2, Pool3 Miner B: Pool2, Pool1, Pool3 Miner C: Pool3, Pool1, Pool2 |

That's one of the most appalling - if not THE most appalling - thing about the BA situation: I ordered in November, direct from BA. In return for my loyalty, I got to watch the resellers - who came on board 2-3 months later - get served with priority. And they even provided refunds (or, in your case, alternate hardware) to customers who requested them.
So fuck me, I guess. My fault for trusting a Chinese company. And this is not me being racist, it's me being pragmatic - because BA thinks they're immune to customer complaints due to their location and their convoluted "ownership" structure.
I got a mail today from the Hong Kong Consumer Council stating that BA has ignored their complaint on my behalf and they have sent them a more strongly worded letter, urging them to deal with it. I'll bet the BA cockmonkeys are quivering in their little pink booties.
My only hope now is that once the Hong Kong police are finished suppressing all the student democracy demonstrations, they'll have the time to take a closer look at BA's criminal activities.
Keep in mind I purchased the S3's myself, they were not given to me as compensation for my X1's by a reseller. I'm merely stating that I received hardware from a competitor, got ROI on them and now that hardware is mining back the coins I spent on the X1's. Those coins should be profit but thanks to BA, I'm still in the red for another 2.3BTC from those X1's. |

Not so much gloating, but showing them how much better their competition is. I find it amusing I have to use a competitors hardware to get the bitcoins back I used to purchase their crap hardware.

Well, the 4 S3's I ordered a couple months ago have paid themselves off already and are 17.5% into ROI on my 4 X1's. Thanks Bitmain for saving my ass!

Thanks for the very useful replies guys, now I have a question about frequency. Looking at the datasheet for the BM1382 chip, I see a table for typical hash rate and power, where 225MHz is 0.528 W/GH, and 250MHz is 0.583 W/GH, and 275MHz jumps to 0.702 W/GH. So, what's the sense in bumping the clock up, when the ratio gets worse on power consumption?
The less you pay for electricity the less the efficiency of a miner matters. When that's the case all that matters is maximizing your hashrate. |

Look elsewhere. They're a fire hazard, have randomly exploding caps, a proprietary PSU that is known to fail. They're also very large for the amount of hashing power you get, two 4u rackmount cases for 2TH.
There are many better options out there.

Be sure to look at the GH/W ratio of the miner you buy. You want as many GH per W you can afford. Otherwise you spend more in electricity than you will ever mine in BTC.
If you get free electricity then this doesn't matter. Just how much heat you can handle.

50 per cent refund in their lousy asics chips for rent a minion customers.
Are they totaly nuts?
50% refund is much better than mining back <10% which is about what I'll get from my X1's. And I'm paying electricity on top of it. |

And where's my compensation?

IIRC BA got the green light from the admins to run the bot. I assume he paid them for that privilege.

I dont understand why is included PSU 16A, when is enough according to specification only 6A.
16PSU is more expensive, larger and more heavy.
If 63GHash and 0,8W/1GHash from the wall (63x0,8=50,4W AC side) could be ok cheap 12V/5A PSU. I have plenty such 12V/5APSU in stock...
Hi charles2k, Sorry for the typo, it is 12V AC/DC power brick of 6A. My guess would be to maintain the efficiency rating at the wall and also inflate the price of the unit. After all, Bitmain will be buying the PSU's in bulk for deep discounts over retail price. I would certainly like to see an option to purchase them without the power bricks. Your guess would make more sense if you weren't quoting the manufacturer telling everyone it was a typo and that it's a 6A brick, not a 16A brick.  Either way my other point is valid. Not everyone is going to need those power bricks. |

I'm curious how far through the shipping queue they've gotten so far. I hear dribbles here and there about people receiving their bricks.
