My B1 shipment has finally left Shenzhen, so probably tomorrow I can get my S3's Smiley
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

If we are NOT overclocking the S3 then we can just plug in 2 PSU PCI-e Connections and leave 2 empty?Huh??


1 connection to each board in S3 is ok if not OC, is this correct?Huh?


Thanks

I'm only getting half speed out of both of them


I must've done something wrong here all I took them out of the box plugged them up and configured them


Am I missing something ?

Do I need to power both group of plugs or just one?
Look at page 4 of the Antminer S3 manual.  You need to power both groups, however if you don't intend to overclock, you may use 1 PCI-E connector per group
"One AntMiner contains  four  power  sockets, which are , formed into two groups as below. Only two sockets are enough to support one unit , but out one of the two sockets of each group must be each group must be  connected to 12V Power line. "

Looks like you supplied power just to one group, so the other one is idle.

4 units (batch 1, first ~15min) arrived today and setup was a breeze.

gorgeous case, makes it feel like a solid consumer-grade product compared to the S1.

miner 1: 237.5MHz     477GH    (2.5hrs)
miner 2: 225MHz        417GH    (2hrs)
miner 3: 225MHz        450GH    (2hrs)
miner 2: 225MHz        413GH    (2hrs)

so far overclocking is a total grab-bag. looks like 2 of the miners lose hashrate at even a slight overclock, and the other has negligible improvement over stock. miner 1 will go for 250mhz tomorrow

I havent seen the invoice yet, but presumably it was about $400 CAD to import and receive all 4 miners.


$400?!?

I just spoke with UPS and they told me my shipment (qty 4) was going to be ~$109? That is, if they ever get here.

I wonder if the person I spoke with read it wrong - maybe $109 ea?

20 mins so far and i'm not getting more the 210

Take it down to 212 and see if that helps.


my two are at 212.5 and getting very good numbers at my friends office. I actually think something is wrong but in my favor>

 Note to btcguild  could you be over reporting s-3 hashes?

 I am getting 450 each right now at 212.5 clocks!  I will watch this like a hawk  as I should be doing 430 not 450.




+1 ...

I am getting HIGHER hashrate at BTCGuild as well... Grin

S3 #1 ...Slightly OC - 225MHz...local @ 450GH ...pool @ 480GH...

S3 #2 ...Stock, no OC - 218.25MHz...local @ 442GH ...pool @ 452GH...

Go figure ... Huh

But I should not complain about that...

Hi Bitmain,
Any word yet on updated firmware to resolve the beeping issue yet? Or a newer version of cgminer bundled with things? 3.12 seems to be six months out of date now, I'd be hoping there are some efficiency improvements by now...

Probably should put something here.... Maybe an LTC address?

That's correct. You'll probably never need to use the other two.
When first announced the hash rate was suppose to be 504 GH and the extra pcie's were for overclocking above that.

They have a firmware listed on their site but I'm not sure whether it's an update or just a copy of what's on the S3 now.
Here's what's listes.

Name: antMiner_S320140711.bin   Desc: first version of firmware for antminer S3

Still waiting for my B1 order so I can't tell you if this one is newer than the original.

Has anyone run a network sniffer on these things while they are running. There is a lot more network noise than the S1's made. I am not talking about share request/response, I am talking about calls to hosts and socket connection responses(causing extra beep sounds), kind of like a bot.

I have the gift of always thinking the worst of people. Would it be possible a % of the hash power is utilized/reserved for an internal process named "4bitmainpool"?

Maybe its some debug/diagnose thing they forgot to take out?

I first used Fiddler to sniff but setting up a Unix VM for better tools now.

Imagine, what if they could take 2-4% hash power from every S3 miner on-line.............

Just got my two S3's in today, and plugged them in and set them up.

They are both configured to run at 218.75 Mhz from the factory.

For whatever reason, one of them runs at 425 Gh/s and the other runs at 408 avg. The 5s averages are higher. Maybe it will be better when they are "broken in"  Huh

I put them both on an 850W power supply I had, but they both turned off, and started hashing at 26 Gh/s. Then, I put each on it's own 800W power supply, and that seems better. Only using 2 PCIE connectors so far.

Might be the voltage on the power cord coming from the garage might have dropped due to the 100 ft length... Grin Grin

Running out of power in the basement....

the significance of this is totally unclear to me
BTCguild has 5%(edit:2%) fee, which is 9GH equivalent. So, what's the advantage?

Bit unwise to make it capable of being hijacked if any old person can shell into the unit and play around, they'd be caught pretty quickly. More likely the traffic you're seeing could be from the ntp daemon.

Probably should put something here.... Maybe an LTC address?

You might be better off running a cat5 to the garage and a mini hub for the miners

One of my only gripes with mine (outside an unneeded UPS shipment release frustration bomb - would only release 1 of 2 boxes to my front door)...

It lists on the UPS label on each box "Description: BITCOIN MINER" -  Still not comfortable with this being out in the open given what the hardware is...

This is idiotic: each box "Description: BITCOIN MINER" - they might as well say "PLEASE STEAL ME!" Who put the description on the box, UPS or Bitmain? That means more eyes on our personal business. Especially if we live in repressive countries.

This is seriously something to be concerned about.  WTF is Bitmain thinking?  Have they done this in the past?  Why now?  I didn't pull the trigger on the first three batches because it was a preorder (not in stock or whatever...) and because the prices were not right for me.  However, this "idiotic" labeling on the box is a good enough reason not to purchase directly from Bitmain.
