Bitmain E3 Ethash Miner ASIC (Batch 1 - Shipping:16-31 July. $800 USD)

[Metroid]

Starting to sound like a lot of reliability and DOA problems out of the gate.  I guess that is to be expected with a rig that is a lot more complicated than the previous ASIC's.  But a little worrying.  Mine should have arrived at my hosting location but not online yet.  Keeping my fingers crossed no issues. 

These e3 miners have been running for 12 months already, the f3 much less, 7 months. Bitmain knows some are broken and yet shipped cause they know users will keep them even though it has problems, now bitmain gives a imaginary voucher for whoever got a broken e3 or malfunctioning, money wise bitmain will never give anybody back. So there you go, perfect business plan, mine with them for 12 months, send to suckers and in the end suckers got sucked even harder hehe

Even though it has problems, the e3 roi is at moment 240 days, rx 580 roi, 600 days, so the e3 at moment for eth, is the best you can get.

Elaborate; I haven't heard of this

Was able to pick em up today and already hashing away.  I didnt have to wait long for them to start (after I been reading some peeps have had to wait some time before they kick in)

Kinda annoying I cant control the fans, its farrrrking freezing here and be nice to turn them low - as it doesnt need much - 2500 rpm is more than enough but its doing its 3500rpm spin and then down to 1500 then back up after a few mins type shit. Basically silent to - gee thats gunna be annoying after a while (but no where near the 76dbs advertised - the l3+s are still louder and they are in boxes)

Other then that - decided to mine up some ETC instead for now.

Edit - its silent at 1800rpm (with all things considered)

Jul 4 2018 firmware - and zero HW errors to date - not even 1 for funsies

No setup options.

Bro which pool did you use for ETC. I cant seems to get that

nanopool

etc-au1.nanopool.org:19999  

is what I was using

https://i.imgur.com/TL3pwqr.jpg

Right now im on Ethermine doing some ETH

Hello could you explain how to use nanopool with this asic? Must I have to create a account to get paid. As I haven’t been paid yet and I’m over 0.2 payout. I can see the page with my info aswel. Thought this would just be straight forward like back in the day with cleverminer..

If you are mining then its working. dont need an account. Just an address where to send, I use the asia link as I am in australia but for the most part I use what I wrote above for ETC - regarding nanopool the Minimum payout is 1 ETC

Nanopools works fine i you need something very easy.

just use the port: 9999

      - not port: 19999 like indicate by NoIdeaAsWell in previous post

eth-eu2.nanopool.org:9999
wallet
x

or p=x,d=60120  ( this works only for the one received today some bach but the one you was paying 2.000Euro - not with the first i received at 800 -> actually the last are faster and cooler - just . of % )


ATT: you will see 15 minutes of temp and other indicator to 0 in your Miner Status menu on your ant miner. The machine will be very loud. Leave it like this and after 10-15 minutes the machine refresh herself and will start to show all the correct value. And what's more get very silent for asic standards.

this will happen with every pool if you have the little table on top of the controller with says:

"SubModel1:190"

ETC not ETH  so my post is correct.

I am not sure if anyone else is facing this, but my miner automatically stops hashing after random number of hours. Sometimes at the miner end it shows it is hashing but the front end it is not, or sometimes at the back end also, it keeps giving error.

Anyone got any solutions?

I had some weird issue where the mac changed so it got a new ip. And i got ERROR when i try to do anything there, but the menu still seem partially served, probably because its cached. Had to find the new IP, change the MAC-IP dhcp lease. But i fucked around hard reset so maybe thats what caused it.

I would suggest https://ethermine.org/

Been working well and min payout is 0.005 ETH Got 10 running on it right now

[cryptochristo]

I would suggest https://ethermine.org/

Been working well and min payout is 0.005 ETH Got 10 running on it right now

minimum payout is actually .05

Whoops, typo.

Still low enough

Noticing ETC connects and hashers faster than connecting to ETH - up to 40mins still trying to connect.  Nothing changed - same settings as the first time I connected to ethermine, now its just taking the piss fancy waiting 30 plus mins for an asic to START hashing whilst running fans at full speed the entire time...... and even then..this is starting to piss me off.. 45mins and counting...

[cryptochristo]

anyone get this working on mining pool hub?

FMD, had to reset this thing to defaults, then re enable the ETH pool - took 5 mins to start hashing.  So, dont do what I did. Seems I have to reset the device to defaults IF i want to mine ETH after mining ETC. Otherwise it will be a simulator for being in an airplane for hours.

Whoever paid more than $800 for this eth asic will be burnt very soon and your 500 days roi might become 1000 days hehe

yeah, cause difficulty is spiking so hard right now right?

its people using an old version of claymore that stopped working at dag 200

once the upgrade we should go back to 300k diff

hi,

wonder if anyone can help me. so im using nanopool and im trying to change my payouts. how do i change this? it says password/email of my miner.

asic comes, more performance to a 6 GPU rig at 1/3 of the price. sorry for eth

[squallw]

Not for all people, not for all cases.
It is sold out right now, but it was $800 + $100 for power supply and some regions has +$200 for shipping, total cost could be $1100.
And some countries has high taxes at customs, like +60% or even +80% that final cost could be something like $2000.

In my case, it cost same as 6X RX470/570 cards and it an ASIC, that can only do a single work of mining dagger algo.
I prefer a rig that you can mine dozens of algos and if it turns not profitable you can sold as PC parts.

Since E3 is bunch of RX550 wouldn't it be possible to change algo/miner with an update?

[gsrcrxsi314]

wtf are you talking about? did you even bother to look at the tear down vids posted? it does not have rx550s in it.

each E3 has 18, lets call them "modules", in it. each module has 32x128MB (4GB) DDR3 memory chips + an ASIC (BM1790) chip.

RX550s have a GPU + 2GB or 4GB of GDDR5.

not even close to the same thing.

I'm having issues trying to mine ETP (Metaverse) via pool or solo. I've tried metaverse.farm (pool) and 2miners.com (solo). I setup pool 1 as ETP, and pool 2 and 3 are for ethermine, where I've been successfully mining ETH with no problems. The connection shows alive, but the ASIC status never goes to 00, it only ever shows BB, or CC. I've have not been able to find out what those status' mean. It appears to try mining on pool 1 for a bit, and them moves down to pool 2, and then after about 8 minutes I believe the miner resets. The status only ever shows BB or CC. I've tried with a PW (x) and without, and with WALLETADDRESS.USERNAME, and without a username. Anyone have any ideas?
