Not to be OT..

But didanyone else recieve an email from "cs@bitmaintech.com" containing a .jar ?

just texted:

"

Invoice no. 111258

 

bitmaintech


"

ive been getting a ton recently from random email addys

first one i tried to open on my iphone but quickly realized it was a phishing scam so i closed everything down, now im just deleting them

open forums are good places to harvest for scammers. You're being phished and the mail is most likely not from bitmain. .jar is a java archive that probably contains a trojan so they can harvest your account info and grab your coins.

Their message headers are similar to this:

From webmaster@bitmaintech.com Mon May 12 05:31:59 2014
X-Apparently-To: omitted_address@yahoo.com via 98.138.211.113; Mon, 12 May 2014 12:32:05 +0000
Return-Path: <webmaster@bitmaintech.com>
X-YahooFilteredBulk: 209.85.220.48
Received-SPF: pass (domain of bitmaintech.com designates 209.85.220.48 as permitted sender)
X-YMailISG: //cryptostuffs_omitted//
X-Originating-IP: [209.85.220.48]
Authentication-Results: mta1125.mail.bf1.yahoo.com  from=bitmaintech.com; domainkeys=neutral (no sig);  from=bitmaintech.com; dkim=neutral (no sig)

If they signed their messages and published a DMARC reject policy their customers wouldn't get phished by scammers spoofing @bimaintech.com since most of the mail providers participate in DMARC. Way OT, but I see happen this too much.

Hello everyone,

When we were doing the first mass production, we found that not all of the S3’s DC/DC module could be stable enough to support the 478GH/s speed. After long time testing, all of the S3 run stably at 441GH/s, which however is 7.7% less than the 478GH/s we have announced.

So we decide the final specification of ANTMINER S3 here:

Hash Rate: 441 GH/s or more
Power Consumption: about 340 Watt at the wall when running at 441GH/s
Power Efficiency: 0.77 J/GH on wall
Power Supply: 12V DC
Size:  331 mm x 137 mm x 160 mm
Fans: Two 14038 fans mounted on both front and back ends.
Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 35 °C
Complied with: FCC / CE
Network Connection: Ethernet

Many of the customers may be lucky to find that their S3 can be overclocked to 478GH/s.

We apologize for this incident. We offer two options for customers:

1)   10.0% worth of coupon for the B1~B3 customers. This is the default option. (10% based on what you have paid for the B1~B3)
2)   7.7% worth of refund. We will release a function on our official website for application of this option. If you have bought from our resellers, please contact them and provide your Bitcoin address.

Shipping schedule updated:

Batch 1: The shipping will be finished in 14th and 17th.
Batch 2: It will be shipping out between 18th and 19th.
Batch 3: It will be shipping out between 19th and 22nd.

Coming soon with a discount voucher

I was expecting for every two S3's to get  at least a Terra, but now is less than 900Gh/s.

Let's wait and see how it will end up.

I like this one more....

HAS ANYONE RECEIVED SHIPPING INFO YET

[RecentGraduate]

I've been following this thread quite regularly and felt compelled to contribute with a posting.  I purchased a total of 14 S3's via two separate Batch 1 orders (Create Times 2014-06-30 14:20:15:0 & 2014-06-30 20:32:58.0) and still haven't received any shipment updates on either of them.  I share everyone's frustration regarding this not-so-smooth roll-out, especially since $6,200 USD (10 BTC) of my money is being held up without earning any interest. 

After confirming my orders with BitMain, I purchased the necessary amount of PSU's to accommodate this purchase.  I have to assume the S3’s I eventually get won’t share the specifications we all thought would come with every device, which means the money I most-likely overspent on PSU’s could have went towards something, ANYTHING else. 

I think what gets under my skin the most is it feels as if they are using the overall good reputation as a shield from this mishap.  In my opinion, I think this was evident in their statement indicating we could obtain a BS refund or whack ass future discount.  I doubt BitMain would agree if I told them I decided, after an agreement we’d made, to  deduct the amount I owed them for an S3 by 7.7% because I decided I was going to lower the hashing power/rate by about 30 GH/s as soon as I received it. 

The icing on the cake was that I decided not to use the $800 in coupons for two S2’s in the week leading up to the S3 release.  Never again will I pre-order with this company.  First time, shame on you.  Second time, …

Hello Community,

Finally, we can make a promise now. We will open the sales of S3 in the Beijing Time tonight 22:00. Beijing is in the UCT+8:00 Time Zone.

The price will be 0.75 BTC per unit in the first. The first batch of S3 will be shipped between the July 10th and 20th.
