D3 is now back in stock on Bitmain's website for $550 for March 21-31 batch.
I just noticed that on their site, like do they actually believe they can scam more people into buying these? Especially after the Blissz BIOS mod has been discontinued due to threats by trolls lol. Tried to read through Blissz's thread to understand what happened. Care to explain? Also, what did his firmware offer more than bitmain's? separate tuning of hashboards Voltage tuning specifically, the D3 came out overclocked to hell and Blissz let us adjust it. He didn't want to opensource his firmware and the underlying miner code is under license, so trolls threatened to sue. I can't imagine D3's having a very long life without Blissz software.

Hi,
Can I use myetherwallet to store ETC? Also, where can I see the balance of my etc in myetherwallet because its a bit confusing as myetherwallet only shows ETH balance. Also, I am looking for suggestion about any universal wallet so I can store BTC like coins or ERC 20 coins. Hardware wallet seems expensive to me. Thanks
Yes, just change the network to ETC in the upper right corner of the page.

Anyone else notice their A3 running pretty hot on the chip side? Mine was approaching 90C on one board, had to go in and manually set the fans to 100%. Now running low 70's. This is with 70F ish ambient temps. These run quite a bit hotter than my L3+'s it seems.
I had to do the same, other miners (L3+s) in the same place are working at 50's. Bitmain OC'd the shit out of these, just like the D3. Hopefully blissz will make firmware for the A3, he saved us with D3 firmware. It gives the ability to change voltage and customize each hash board with voltage & frequency.

In the Bitmain's site the PSU is marked as shipped but in the Email I received I see the status is: Shipped quantity(PSU): 0 Shipped quantity(A3) : 1 Is it possible that the PSU is inside the pack? On the invoice in the email it is also marked only the miner?
it will be updated, its happen with me Hope so, mine is still in just "Information received" DHL No PSU shipped is standard for bitmain, you should check out the trainwreck D3 thread. ParallelMiner.com makes good reasonably-priced PSU's for mining using server PSU's with custom boards, just get one with 10x 6-pin cords and at least 1500w. Have about 10 of them, $150 or so each.

this importing private keys sounds quite dodgy. Can anyone experienced explain how forks tend to happen normally?
giving away private keys is NOT gonna happen...
It says under "How do you get your ETZ?" they "will provide users a custom node to be added to MEW or Meta Mask to get ETZ", I will probably just wait for that. But they have to talk MEW or Meta Mask into supporting their coin. If there is only a native wallet and you want to dump immediately after the fork, then yes, you would import keys. Just be sure to move the ETH first and only risk the ETZ. But in their broken english quote 2 posts up, they're saying NOT to import keys, probably because of the chance for malware attacks on the user side. There's a chance it will pump after mainnet release, could be worth holding some since it's the first ETH fork in a while and the market is on fire.

One of my D3's will only load the main page (with nothing on it) and won't let me go to any other pages to reboot or flash, etc. I tried the reset with a paperclip, but no go. Any ideas? Thank you
I think, That page is probably a cached page. The real page probably switched ip address. You will have to find it again. Important, some routers assign LAN and Wifi separately and it IS POSSIBLE your laptop is on the same ip as the rebooted d3. I set my router to always assign the Miner to like a higher address so it never gets mixed with them. (DMZ). M Many thanks, I just had to go find it!

@Blissz
I really like what you have done modifiying the firmware but i have one suggestions, which i am pretty sure will ease the issue some ppl have when configuring theire miners regarding the dev fee. I am all for it and i am pretty sure that others dont mind either that you get a fair share for your work.
I have 5 D3's myself and configuring those machines aint that easy, because each of them has different settings to be applied that the HW errors disappear. The issue i have is, that after each reboot / configuration change (voltage, adresses, ....) you start mining on your dev pools (after some seconds), this makes it intense to check if my OWN settings are valid.
My suggestion is, please start mining your 1.5% fair share not at each and every reboot / configuration change, but once the miner has run for its 2 hours. So i am only asking you to change the first time you mine for yourself, after 2h you start with your rotation.
Thanks again.
He can't set it to 2 hrs before mining to his pool or people would just reboot their miners every 1 hr 59 min and only lose 13 min per day of mining (based on a 30 sec restart), versus him mining for 22 min a day (1 min 30 sec every 2 hrs like he stated). The breakeven point is about 33 minutes, so he could set it to 20 min and people could configure miners for some time without paying any excess fees. 22 min dev mining per day / 30 sec reboot = 44 restarts/day 24 hr/day / 44 restarts/day = 0.5454 hr/restart = approx 33 min/restart If the reboot takes 90 sec, then he could set it to 1 hr 39 min, but ppl still might restart often just to spite the dev. So he sets a short amount of time before it mines to his pool. Wouldn't it be easier to just edit the hosts file of the miner to trick it into thinking the devpool address is the same as the primary pool address? My intention was not to circumvent anything, but just to explain why it's a short period of time before dev mines his pool. I fully support everything being done here, my miners are waaaay cooler and quieter, I'm very happy with the updates and responsiveness.

I just checked on one of my 2 units (both on latest firmware) and all the chips are x's and unit hasing at 0mh
second unit running fine.. did a reboot and will see if this happens again.. im dumb for not creating a copy of orig firmware that it was shipped with to try and flash it back to orig
edit: rebooted and now one chip is x, going to try and downclock from 537 to 531
edit2: still lowering freq as 531 was still getting lots of HW.. trying to find the sweet spot
I've had to drop too 500 frequency and or below to stabilize. Bottom line I think is....These things are NOT MADE to hash at 537. Yeah they can do it but it's redline territory. I'm just gonna run my units around 487-500 and roughly 17,000mhs. Whatever. Who cares if they make $3.85 a day or $4.00 or whatever the fuck it is. Bitmain might have thought if they overclocked these bastards to 537 they would hash fine until the warranty was up I guess they fucked that one up. I agree, some of mine are at 431, some even at 400 to keep my temps under 70. Been running fine around 13.5-15 GH and stable.
