Antminer B3 Bytom Mining First review

[kashkalik]

From what I read on uupools website , they pay out from 10am to 4pm each day (pay out in queue, and this information is written in Chinese), which is 7pm to 1am PST. So they might start paying out today at 7pm. Lets see if people get paid.

It doesnt seem that the miner monitors fan speed in this miner version. As far I can tell it runs the fans on full and completely skips the fan test cycle that usually occurs post boot with other Bitmain models.

It also runs incredible cool at just under 35 chip temps with sub 30 board temps. Thats with no cooling in a warm weather climate.

Obviously its because of the low wattage requirements. So are these fans total overkill for this miner?

Appears they slapped in stock S9 fans with no rpm governance or checks.

Can anyone confirm this?

Try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3U_YPuN77g  and set lower speed. Tell me If it works - i still dont have mine...

Thanks. I will give this a shot. Dont want to shut down at the moment since rewards are high and my connection to UUPOOL has been fickle.

Has anyone got payout from UUPOOL yet? Balance is getting high & Im sure we would all like to know if we can trust these operators.

Also there is 550+ miners on Antpool noe and no one is reporting rewards in their dashboard? I find this very hard to believe. How is there no info about this anywhere?

On UUPool and haven't gotten a pay out yet.  I'm in Central Time (8pm).  Please keep us posted.  Thanks!

Not sure, but it looks like I have some activity on my bytom windows wallet.  Balance shows 147 BTM.  If anybody can figure out how to send it to another address (exchange) it would be greatly appreciated.  It's just a lot different than most other wallets.

Are you mining http://uupool.cn/ or Antpool?

[akorsar]

You need to do a new transaction, but when you try to do this it give lots of errors. If you figure out please advise.

He must be mining with UUPPOOL. Antpool is using ERC20 addresses only to my knowledge.

Which makes me second the questions is how do these get transferred to an exchange. Every exchange address Ive seen is also using ERC20 formatted addresses.

If you want to take a gamble with a few of your tokens from the BTM wallet, send them to a ERC20 address and see if they show up on the chain. Skeptical this will work though.

Had same issues with Antpool. Managed to connect only to stratum-btm.antpool.com:6666 (the other 2 are dead), it showed stats on Antpool and I was getting stable 700-80h/s, though even after 15-20 minutes, not shares have been received. Hence I've moved to uupool and it started showing a growing balance immediately. So I am sticking to it until Antpool will solve the issue.

However, http://miningpoolstats.stream/bytom is showing that Antpool has way bigger hashrate now...
Lets see

[Salesguy99]

Update...Just got BTM payout from UUPool!!     Sorry, Antpool sticking with this for the time being.

[akorsar]

Confirmed payment as well. Also transferred funds inside Bytom application, however it's not working for exchange addresses so far.

Sooo - 2500pcs sold in 1st batch...
Looks like they are intensively "testing" miners from next batches

http://miningpoolstats.stream/bytom

Around 3000pcs at this time connected and my and many others miners are in still in packages on its way...

Not sure where do you see 3000pcs. I can see about 1.4K at the moment. Though, this grew rapidly since morning while it was few hundreds only. So I assume it's all relatively fair play by Bitmain so far.

Though, I am not sure if Antpool is working, so I've no idea why there are still around 900 asics on it...

[BoC_2017]

I received payment from UUPool into the Bytom Wallet.

So, their website is correct that they will payout daily between 10 AM and 4 PM (their time in China) which = 10PM (EST) to 4 AM (EST).

I tried moving some using the Transaction area - however it shows an error when typing in any address that is not a BTM address. If the address starts with BM then I think it would work fine (or at least no error would show up).

I tried ERC20 address, BTM exchange addresses - all would give an error.

 

I'm just happy I received a deposit!

Antpool 1.96MHs - you can see it at this link http://miningpoolstats.stream/bytom
1 960 000h/s / 780h/s = 2512 machines,
uupool 0.49Mhs
490 000 / 780 = 628 machines.
Total: 3140 machines.

Yeah, you are right. Sorry, didn't pay attention. I guess they have asics with same names or more powerful versions...
Let's see how it goes. I wonder how exchange will work.
The price of BTM is going down, though the profit is still looking very nice.

How loud is this thing compared to an S9 or GPU set up?

I bought one but hasn't arrived yet Sad, may have to wait until after the weekend as it doesn't seem like it's going to make it past customs by end of today.


I think it´s prettty loud but it depends

Same error I get...Anyone else tried to send it to any exchange from the bytom wallet? How do we make the ROI?

[ilostmyface]

So antpool is paying in ERC20 tokens on ethereum block chain?

How is antpool gonna payout in coins they aren't mining, I would assume they own all the ERC 20 tokens since this is probably there master scam.

How do you create a ERC20 address on the bytom wallet?

This is stupid.

[cmanmatt]

UUPool - got paid out last night to Bytom wallet.  Yay!  Now need to figure out how to transfer to an exchange...

Let us know if you have any luck exchanging the main chain coins.

[cmanmatt]

I've tried Bibox and FatBTC and both are still using ERC 20 format.
