News from bitmain for China only i think. Translate page to understand.

Tomorrow will be available 5000 units more for march delivery for only 1140 USD

Yeah i can confirm that... they had long time since last releasing stock to the chinese market, tomorrow they will sell 5000 A3 to deliver last week of march... and the price is just 1/3 of the original price for this market. Also releasing 5k S9... 20k T9... 5k L3... making money like crazy...

20k T9 jeez, who even buys those peices of junk, 10 th for 1500 watts

Thanks a lot for your answers, it's helping.
Well now I have another issue, it seems the tab "miner status" doesnt show anything anymore when i click on it...

Is it just the pool isnt configured well or something else? I m a bit worried i harmed the miner by putting the frequency to 750.
Thanks

Go back to your system page and see what it says under hardware version?

Probably just your miner configuration settings are wrong?

Hi,
I  have 2 A3 and I have this issue with both : in system/overview/hardware version it says  "Socket connect failed: Connection refused"
Do you have any idea what i can do?
I tried to set nat/pat config in my router to let port 3333 and 20550 go throug but it doesnt change anything.
I tried to reset the miner, then it works for some time and get back to "   Socket connect failed: Connection refused"
Any idea?
Thanks a lot!

I got this error when i was trying to use MPH. What pool you using?

MPH, Luxor, Siamining, eachpool working well now

Would be a tough decision, if order opens too, delivery would be tough as CNY is coming and hardly any work happens during that period in China, any delay in delivery mean impact on ROI.

I'm finally mining..
UPS made it in record timing for me ...(faster than usual anyways) I still had to go 20k out of town to pick it up... because they tried to deliver it at 130PM !! -have these guys heard of deliveries AFTER working hours -ie when people are home? If I didn't go, they were going to 'attempt' to deliver it on Monday.
good ol' capital of canuckia..

I cheated the delivery time, by doing this I got an extra £100, maybe it can help you in the future https://youtu.be/K2_W6KqzzgI

What do you mean "I cheated the delivery time"? Did you do something to get fast delivery?
Thanks

The delivery date was Thursday 12 PM. I did not want to wait til then so I picked the parcel up on Wednesday 6:30PM and got an extra 14 hours of mining.

OK nice, how do you do that? you use "UPS My Choice"? you call them to ask for a anticipated pick up at their facility? did you pay an extra to get earlier delivery?

how do you know?
where did you get this info?

[eth_mining]

Look at that hashrate jump from 7033 to 7371 in 30 mins on a Sunday. And it keeps going up. I think they sold 15000 miners at least..

Yeah, that's a very steep increase. What are you making a day. I'm doing 2650 SC/ per for x2 A3's lol.. what a drop

Should be down to 2450 now? lol

Also, the 139000 block fix will increase the difficulty before decreasing it. Meaning, block times will go up from here before stabilizing at 10 minutes. So expect more panic from A3 buyers. I guess by the time it gets to 10 minutes, A3 batch 2 might be here to screw us again. lol

Its 2577 now ha ha... going down every minute. Btw regarding the fork, I thought the 139000 fix is already done ? maybe im missing something here.

It was done. But it has not fixed the block times yet (we are at around 15-17 mins now). It will go worse (as worse as 30 mins) from here before getting back to 10 minutes.

What do you expect ? When the difficulty will go back to normal ?

I think its a complicated logic to say for sure. A couple of weeks after all A3 Batch 1 miners come online? Just my guess..
