ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread

[Swimmer63]

when will we see an S4 ?

Now that's a really good question, because with such difficulty jumps of more than 20% every 12 days the S3+ is utterly obsolete when they finally start shipping!

@BITMAIN, you may want to call for a company emergency meeting to discuss canning the S3+ in favor of going straight for the S4 based on 20nm (or better) chip technology. Oh wait, you already have A LOT of S3+ running in your mining farm and have to sell those off first? Good luck with trying to get them going with such well informed customers as you can find here in this thread! 

Just quit mining please....

Even after the diff increase the stated price on an S3 hasn't changed, making it 20.86% less likely to ROI.

Enough with the whining.  Don't like the way Bitmain does business?  Buy from someone else.
Can't figure out how to make money with increasing difficulty?  Quit. 
But for the love of God stop posting here.

Done.

Luckily there are a few on par or better opportunities that just came out.

Okay. I don't want to start rumors, so somebody else, PLEASE investigate...

I ordered from Bitmain directly for the first time within minutes of the S3+ going up for sale. I can now view my order, but the edit button has gone away.

From lurking in the forums, I have read that the Edit button going away always meant that things were about to ship.

The S3+ isn't slated to ship until on or around Sept 20th.

Has anybody else's Edit button gone away for their S3+ order, and could that really mean that things are going to be happening soon??

Interested in the opinion of those who have done this before...

Thx.

I am getting this psu on fri will see if it runs 4 s-3's

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MMLUIE8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


 i know it is far more  $ then the 1300 watt model but it will be fun to test.

You can try this PSU, it's cheaper:

But yes, it has 6 12V lines instead of 1...

The next reason is the website is about to be updated with either a price change or the batch is sold out and the next batch is about to be listed.

Just checked. Web site still says for both S3 B8 and S1 upgrade: "Shipping starts on September 20th or earlier."

The "earlier" part probably won't be early enough for those holding their breath.

Is there a safe shutdown command, like a "Halt" for these? Either for web Gui or ssh?

I usually unplug the rj45 cable and let the s3 came to an idle not hashing mode and my psu fan stop spinning then I turn off

[Koontas]

Just updated to the 0811 firmware and there is no longer anything displaying under "Frequency" and the miners are hashing at less than 100gh/s... Any ideas? 

(Apologies if this was covered somewhere in this long ass thread)

When you flash uncheck save settings and it will fix the problem. there may be other ways but that is what I did.

The other way is to select the Miner Configuration tab then select the NEW Advance Settings tab where you have a pull-down to select your frequency, the default is 218.75. Once you select the default or the frequency you were running before select the Save & Apply in the bottom right hand section of the window and you should be good to go. Most if not all of them went to 100GH/s after the update.

Who got their s3 ungrade kit? Post your setup video for us?

this is a Box of my psu.

please check and tell that PSI-E cable is 12v or 5v

thank you

It's 12v. I believe the 5v is for the CPU cable.

That psu though will only power 1 S3.
