Anybody yet converted payouts on Antpool?

Since earlier today i do not see anymore coins added to my account, i guess mostly due the ongoing Wallet adress conversation? Same for you guys?

My Antpool app is showing that my 4 B3s made 63.52 BTM so far today, it was much less at the earlier of the day so coins are being added to my account. I also received a payment to my BTM wallet, 10 more payments to go.

Thats 10 revenue bucks a day, about 250 a month now profit. That 2nd batch was bad. This thing is no A3. Minimum 6 months at this rate to break even assuming no changes....

I think people need to wait before just looking at the hashrate of GPUs and jumping to conclusions.  GPUs are reporting similar hashrates but are getting paid way less.

Edit:  Someone on the discord said they were mining with a $4,500 rig using 1000W to make half as much BTM per day as a B3 running at 328W.

I hope u are right
That would mean 2000w against 328w. Not as bad as someone reported earlier.

how about profit now for B3?

NEW FIRMWARE UPDATE

Bitmain just released two firmware updates (Assuming that both required to get all features). One for showing fan speed and reducing rejected shares and the other increases hash rate by ~33% avg !!!!!!!!!!! (Getting 1040 H/S Average and 0 rejected shares)



Simply go here https://shop.bitmain.com/support.htm?pid=00720180519161243572MB78lOGz067A and download both firmwares. Flash you B3 with "Antminer-B3-20180519.tar.gz" first then after completing the upgrade flash it with "update_1000.tar.gz".


Please note that my B3's are running a bit hotter after the update also assuming that they're consuming more energy (Can someone confirm this please).

***NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS FIRMWARE BRICKED YOUR MINER. IT WORKED PERFECTLY FOR MY MINERS***


Please give me some of them merits if this post helped you

Thank You!

But I guess I fucked up, did the upgrade first instead of the update. Now i can't acces the miner via IP anymore because it doesnt start up.. how can i fix this?
