and if I'm running Win 7? You're probably SOL. I had to re-purpose and old laptop and slap Ubuntu on it to run the hftool. I managed to get hftool working on a Win8.1 box, had to comment out some lines of code, still got errors, but it worked enough to list the die speed/voltages, and to write back out to flash. You're probably SOL for the firmware upgrade. Has anyone managed to get hftool working on a system with more than one Habanero board? I wish. I have 4 running on one old laptop. |

Taking the bitcoins. Not that I won't add more S3's.
I have been mining for quite a while and it's taught me this space changes quick and btc is liquidity to adapt.
Coupons may or may not be worth 10% by the time I'm ready to get more.
If they were shipping now, I would have considered the coupon offer more seriously.
For all the folks lamenting about pre-orders. If this wait for the S3 upsets you, even though it's not late, you
absolutely do not want to pre-order from anyone else. This is the fastest pre-order delivery time there has been in btc mining. I really don't even consider this a pre-order. A lot of pre-orders today don't even have a proven pcb when they start taking your money (Alpha, BFL). STAY AWAY.
If you feel like you will miss the boat with out pre-ordering, calm down. There are always better options available before that pre-ordered miner will get delivered. There were no real preorders for the S1, S2, the Dragon miner, Habeneros, GoldRush boards, etc. Always options.

Can someone do me a favor and copy and past their .conf file here. My cgminer is keeps giving me a JSON error when I try to write it and I get a blank file. I just need to build my own.
Thanks!

Mine has been doing the same thing. I am just running cgminer from a .bat file. I am doing the same but having trouble with one board and want to run it at a lower speed. |

I have been keeping an eye on the new Rockminers using ASICMINER's new chip as their pre-order stats looked similar to these S3's. Not as good, but worth keeping an eye on.
Well we can probably check the R3 and RK's off our list of alternatives. At least for now. They are getting panned by new users.
High rejects, on the R3 and both high rejects and low Gh/s on the RK. Plus they suck more power and cost more per Gh/s than the S3. Assuming the S3's stats hold up.
Not sure the Asicminer chips will be very successful. And they could definitely use FriedCat's involvement in miner design.

From 'The Doctor', server manager/admin on the alpha-t forum, trying to quell the riot regarding unavailability of a credit card processor: ( https://forum.alpha-t.net/index.php?topic=687.100 ) "But I must point out I cannot go in to full details due to the policies of some of the involved processors during negotiation…"
The Doctor writes just like Fiaz … sounds like either a relative or a sock puppet but he claims his name is 'Liroy'. This guy's name and style seems familiar … wasn't there a guy with a name like that hired to manage public relations and run the bitcointalk topic of another bitcoin miner scam a few months ago that got moved into some backwater here by an admin ? WTF. Credit card processor want to keep dealings quite during negotiation?!?!?! What kind of BU!!SH*T is THAT?!?!?! I've never freaking hear of that ever happening. Credit card processors are services not FARKING partnerships. You aren't doing doing a trade negotiation! What? Do you think because you publicly announce you are using Frontier Processing that the deal is ruined and its going to cause a hostile takeover of their corporation?!?! Does it mean that if AT concludes the deal that it will prevent other ASIC manufacturers from establishing deals with teh processor?!?! Seriously the crap that comes out of their mouths theses days. They have ran dry of excuses and they are digging so deep that they are pulling their tounges out of their own arses. These guys are not big enough to negotiate AND they are a mining manufacturer (so they say). They don't negotiate with a processor. They BEG a processor to take them. |

I would love to think they are boxing them up, but be realistic.
The "edit" button being gone just means they already printed the shipping labels.

I am more interested in what the pool says it sees from this. When the error rate is that high the pool tells you more about what the effect is on the number of shares you are getting. For the cost difference over the Ant S3 the Rock R3 is going to need to be at 580+ Gh/s with 2-3% rejects to reach parity. Assuming the S3 performs as advertised. Although, even with that if your a bigger a miner you would have to consider the increased power draw of the R3 before slapping 10 on the shelves. |

WHEN IS THE 10-15% REJECT RATE ON THE RK-BOXES GOING TO BE ADDRESSED???
FriedCat would have had this s%#t Nailed Down! |
|
|
|
infact i think these will top 500+ GH no problem. This is the real Antminer S3 Killer right here!!!
Can you clarify what you mean by Antminer S3 killer? |

Does anyone know if there is a firm shipping date for S3 Batch 1?  I think that Bitmain said that they would start shipping Batch 1 orders around the 14th. But I would not call that firm. They start assembling boards, heatsinks, fans, covers tomorrow. |

Just got a used Habenero, my 4th, and am having trouble getting it going. Anyone have any suggestions? Win 7, Dell server psu 750w, Corsair 80i for cooling - but it never gets that far. PC recognizes the card as M1 like my others, but it still Zombies. It eventually gets to LIBUSB errors. EDIT - Problem solved thanks to a smart forum member. |

Have you taken any heat measurements with multiple in the same hub? The heat spreaders look like they may help, but the old ones got insanely hot and with a 10X speed increase I wonder how hot these are in a group.
I can take some measurements for you tomorrow. I have a 10 port hub with 5 NF6's running slightly overclocked. There is a USB fan on them and the surface temperature of the miners is 41C. Without the fan they would be about 72C-82C. Because of their deepth you would not be able to fit more than 5 on a standard 10 port hub. If your hub ports are tightly packed you may not even fit 5. I have 49 port hub on which I have run a maximum of 18 NF6's. The limitation there was more my PC than the hub itself. |

Please give link to schematic NF6.
Schematic will not be released while current batch remains on sale. |

Correct, no coupons. They did $22,000,000 the first day. I don't think we will be seeing coupons for a while.
You mentioned that number before. I don't necessarily doubt it, but where did you come up with it? The USD price per unit when they went on sale was about $480. So if they grossed $22 million the first day, that's nearly 46 thousand units. Rounding up to 500 GH/s per unit, that's about 22 petahash. That seems high to me. Maybe this market is bigger than I thought. Or maybe my math is wrong. Someone had the btc address bitmain was apparently using to consolidate the purchases. I watched it the evening of the first day they opened up sales. Was actually looking for my order but never found it. Most transfers were multiples of .75 though so I would guess it was legit. But I don't remember where I saw it. If it was here or reddit. Yeah...I saw it too...BUT it HAS already like 17,000 BTC prior to the starting of the sale...Their batch 1 was probably 1500-2500 units...I guess... Could very well be. I only saw it that evening. Assumed it was all new. |

Hello Everyone,
I am new to the mining community, started mining with S1 just a month ago.
Antminer S3 looks very promising machine, and will definitely order a couple.
I was wondering if you have any coupons to share?
Thank you.
I don't think there are any S3 coupons available yet, feel free to correct me. Well, I didn't have any on my Bitmain account! We would all have liked a coupon to use for our own purchase. If you want an S3 (min two per order), you should go ahead and place an order. Thank you, for your advice. The S3 offer is good enough, even without the use of a coupon. I will definitely go ahead and order two. Correct, no coupons. They did $22,000,000 the first day. I don't think we will be seeing coupons for a while. |

BFL are good people, their name should not be mixed with AT. I love BFL, have many of their hardware.
Sarcasm? |
