Bitfury datacenter.

I hate those guys

Which pool do they mine with?

Not to sure, I only speculate. a few weeks ago I read a article that bitfury was opening a large datacenter. It would make sense that they where testing small scales before a full deployment. These datacenters will effect the hashrate less and less, Bitfury is like 40% of all ASIC chips, only natural they join the other companies offering cloud hashing.

Has anyone tried to use avahi (bonjour or Zeroconf) on either the S1 or the S3 miners? This would be very convenient as it would allow using dhcp and never have to worry about the ip address. You could just address the miner by <name>.local . Since this is basically OpenWRT, there is an avahi-daemon package available. I installed it on an S3 and it worked for a couple of minutes but then it stops resolving the .local name. I saw nothing in the logs to indicate a failure. When I restart the avahi-daemon service it's all good again for several minutes. Played with config files, nothing worked. Ideas?

BTW, this has zero effect on the hashing.

How long does it take BITMAIN to reply to an order???

It has been 5 days since I send them the remittance statement for an order of some S3s.I still havent recieve any feedback from them,not a word.I sent copy of the message,that I got from my bank with my shipping adress.Is this normal?

Bank? What website did u order from?

I was in contact with them and I wanted to buy in dollars, so they sent me a bank account number.

What was the website? You got scammed dude.

It was bitmaintech.com.

This was the e-mail:

Hi,
1. besides bitcoins, we also accept USD wires.please feedback to us for remittance info when you decide to place order.
2. ATX PSU is OK, there are 4 PCI-e connectors for +12V DC input, but it only needs to connect two of them(total 30.5A) if without overclocking. FYI http://www.enermaxusa.com/psu_revolution87+.php
3. Have you ever bought S3 from us before? do you have any coupon?
4. how many S3 do you plan to buy? we may request some discount if quantity is large.


Best Regards

Is there a reason why everyone is changing the thermal compound on the heatsinks?

because they want to do...something
as most people experience shows, changing thermal paste in most cases results in NO effect whatsoever, but don't tell this to a couple of guys here.

Does it matter what set of 2 you plug the PCE-I connections into? If 1 side is damaged, but the other side good, perhaps that is why some people report better luck with 2, than 4? I been using the side closest to ethernet for all my machines so far, would switching the connections to the other side improve any sort of issues people may be having? If so which ones?

plugging in the farthest two (from the ethernet port) also works the same, not better or worse. i don't know what do you mean by damaged.

[allcoinminer]

my s3 is broken on arrival.... only one chain working...
any idea on fix ?

Open the cover of S3 and check the cables and connectors are fine.
Check for any component damage or loose or burns.
If everything so far is fine then, disconnect one blade from the control panel.
Also remove pci power cable from the disconnected cable.
Run the S3 and check if the blade or chain is displaying in S3 miner stats page.
If no blade is showing, connect the disconnected blade back and disconnect the already connected blade.
    {
         Now run the S3 again and check if the blade or chain is displaying in S3 miner stats page.
         It should. Then disconnect the cable connecting this working blade to the disconnected blade and run S3.
         Now check if the chain is shown. If not shown, you blade which is now connected is damaged.
     }
else if blade is shown
     {
         Then disconnect the cable connecting this working blade to the disconnected blade and run S3.
         Now check if the chain is shown. If not shown, the blade now connected is damaged.
         If shown then your other cable connecting blade and control panel is faulty.
     }
If in all the above steps no blade is shown your control board is damaged.
If your found one blade is damaged via the above steps, try reapplying thermal paste. A rare change for survival.
Contact bitmaintech for RMA if blade is damaged and request for a new cable or buy or build your own.

/edit
Copy paste your System and Kernal Logs here or PM.
