How many days is the Antiminer S 3 will arrive? after full payment?

Depends, on the availability of the miners and your location in the world.
I know Europe is 2 a 3 days of shipment.

Your info looks like about a dozen others posted on the various Bitmain threads, you are in a well populated boat, you do know how to swim don't you?

[stlcoin]

Any info on why?

[hurricandave]

Any info on why?

I'm guessing a couple of customs agents were bribed into slowing things down by one of the other competitors

[stlcoin]

anything goes in this digital gold rush, battle of wits.  Can't wait for AMD and/or Intel to get into the game of making asic mining chips, guess just matter of time. Hope would level the playing field.

thanks hurricandave..

Maybe because it says "BITCOIN MINER" literally in capital letters on the outside of the box.......


What the hell where they thinking???

[nexxypoo]

I know!
I got stung AU$211 for 3x miners coming in, thats about a 15% markup.
I had no dramas with the S1s when they came in from the same location.
Anyhoo, the s3 units have arrived, and they are hashing away happily. Only issue so far is it seems the temp probe on one of the boards is a bit off, it shows ~26 degrees after operating for 30 mins. All the others, including the other on the same unit, show ~38 degrees.

Saw a post a ways back by some member who said that he used to work for UPS international.
He said that those types of messages were usually due to paperwork problems.
Could be almost anything, forms not filled correctly, descriptions, piece counts, etc.
But it could be because it said "BITCOIN MINER" like the other guy said.

My batch 1 order sent out 7/19 finally arrived in Ontario, CA after passing through Alaska.
Been stuck in Calif. for over 7 hrs. If I get it tomorrow it'll only be a day late.

That's what happened to mine to and I'm in California as well. It followed Anchorage, AK -> Ontario, CA -> Oakland, CA -> San Francisco, CA.

got mine just one day delay..  boxes didn't have " bitcoin miner " on the box, nor was customs paid off... they just flooded customs with so many of them

Need bitcoin miner rehab. Never enough, need more, more... speaking of which batch 4

Happy mining, unhappy paying that electric bill..

[adqsonline]

BITMAIN let us know about near future batches, please.

[Swimmer63]

BITMAIN let us know about near future batches, please.

Batch 4 available now.

[adqsonline]

Next time i will ask more early lol

Delivery of 2 S3's from batch 2 today

I followed Dogie's setup guide here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702653


The 1st S3 miner works perfectly at around 440Ghs.

The 2nd S3 initially only started with 1 chain visible with a hash rate of 200Ghs.

I tried a few different CX750 power supplies but same result. Now the S3 starts but does not hash at all, a bleep and it restarts

For the time it is running I can still only see chain 1 visible but showing 0.0Ghs

Emailed and posted here, hoping Bitmain will resolve the issue.

You might want to remove the covers and see if the cables are all seated properly.  Also check to make sure your pools are all filled in and "alive."

[emediacoin]

May I ask how many units are in a batch as far as the S3's are concerned?

if you check it carefully you can make an estimate.  I don't feel like doing the math as i am tired.


right now page 13 has a payment at

my guess is this was the beginning of batch 4
