I have spoken with both bitmain and nicehash support and both seem to point fingers at each other.
Nicehash Support:"Hello,
A3 is not supported on Nicehash. Obviously, Antminer A3 is not using the same protocol for SIA algorithm as we are
https://siamining.com/stratum.
We suggest you to contact Bitman regarding this issue.
Kind regards,
NiceHash Team"
Bitmain Support:"Antminer A3 is using the same protocol for SIA algorithm as the Nicehash is
https://siamining.com/stratum (qq://txfile/#).
You are welcome to mine on Antpool.
As for the rebooting, please test as follows to find the cause:
Please try to unplug the power, wait for about 20 minutes then reboot the miner.
Then please try reloading the firmware:

It obviously isn't working with Nicehash but I am running my miners on the siamining pool so it looks to me like Nicehash is lying and just refusing to support the A3's. What could possibly be the solution?
